The Senior class this year was one of the largest that has been graduated from the Seminary. There are many opportunities for those graduating now; the chaplaincy, full-time pastorates, and part-time pastorates and additional schooling. The Seniors had a party at Cedcrrholm's at Forest Lake and at Dr. Karlson's. The class gave as its gift to the school, a desk for Edwin Omark's office. The officers of the Seminary Senior class were: Joel Anderson, president; Orville Burch, vice president; Marie Green, secretary; and Eugene Nyman, treasurer. Not Pictured JANZEN, NORMA . . .

Its members filled student pastorates, acted as church mission-aries, and preached in different neighboring churches. The Mid-dlemen's greatest task of the year was sponsoring the annual Seminary banquet. This year the Seminary banquet was held in the Y. M. C. A. in Minneapolis. The officers of the Seminary Middlemen class were: Dana Larson, president; Harris Youngquist, vice president; and Gloria Mitchell, secretary. This year the Junior Class of the Seminary was the smallest functioning body of the school, consisting of only seven mem-bers. Seven for '47 could be their slogan. Many have felt that they could better serve their Lord in the Armed Services than continuing in school, and plan to return after the war is over. Due to its size, the class did not sponsor any activities alone but assisted the Middlemen in sponsoring the Seminary banquet. The officers of the Seminary Junior Class were: David Daniel-son, president; Ray Hanson, vice president; and Lloyd Nordstrom, Treasurer; Harris Johnson, Secretary. _seminarI uniom Twenty-six Twenty-seven TOP Row: J.

The officers for the last semester were: sponsor, Professor C. E. Carlson; president, Earl Trude; vice president, Gloria Anderson; secretary, Lois Thomas; treasurer, Ray Ashmun. The first semester Kay Shimatsu served as president and Mabel Ander-son as vice president. At the Junior-Senior Banquet the class presented their grad-uating gift to the school which was a donation toward the pur-chase of a movie projector. The graduating Sophomores were guests of the Bethel Alumni Association at the Alumni Banquet and of the Freshman class at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Twenty-eight Twenty-nine To Row : F. Shindo, R.

In spite of wartime conditions, this year's freshman class boasted of being the largest in the history of our school. Not only was the class large, but it was also outstanding in many respects. Its members were en-gCtged in all of the school activities. Al-though many of the class members were called into the armed forces throughout the course of the year, the class continued to carry on in an enthusiastic manner. Sev-eral successful parties and shuffleboard and ping-pong tournaments were held during the year. All in all, from freshman week to the last day of school, -the freshman class helped make this year at Bethel another successful year. Class Officers W. Anderson, R. Daley, D. Swartz, D.

This training endeavors to give the student a more thorough knowledge of the Bible and to better equip him in dealing with the problems of Christian leadership. The training also enables the student to teach Sunday School and Bible School more effi-ciently. Many have made good use of their practical training during the year by helping in the churches in the Twin Cities. The instructors of the various classes are: Professor A. J. Wing-blade, Miss Esther Sabel, Rev. Swan Engwall, and Professor E. G. Norstrom. Chridian WorZer'J Course . . Thirty-two Thirty-three SEATED: E. Norstrom, A. Iblings, H. Youngquist, D. Danielson, H.

The program of spiritual activities at Bethel is sponsored by the Religious Council. Noon prayer meetings, fellows and girls meeting separately, and a united prayer service after dinner were held each school day. This year the council purchased three tract racks. Two of these were placed in the college and one in the Seminary. The largest undertaking for the Religious Council were the Deeper Life meetings in the fall with Missionary Eric Frykenberg, and in the spring with Dr. John Herrman. The Religious Council officers were: president, Donald Gan-strom; vice president, Harold Carlson; secretary, Helen Soder; treasurer, Gloria Mitchell. Here is the legislative organization of the Bethel student body. The group heads-up the activities of the entire seminary and college organizations. It functions as an intermediate board be-tween students and faculty. The membership of this large body is composed of one mem-ber from each of the classes, each publication group, and of the major clubs of the school. The officers were: president, Harold McClure; vice president, David Danielson; secretary-treasurer, Ruth Rask; seminary, War-ren Magnuson; Junior College, Bill Thompson; Religious Council, Harold Carlson; Alexis, Harris Youngquist; Forensics, Arlene Peterson; Publication, Walfred Peterson; Athletics, William Peter-son; B.

A goal of $1,000 was set for further sup-port of Bethel in Jorhat, Assam, India, and for future "Bethels" in China and South America. This program has been very well supported by the students. Monthly meetings were held with interesting programs con-sisting of moving pictures of challenging fields, and talks by visit-ing missionaries, the highlight being the visit of Rev. Sten Lind-berg, first missionary to go out under our new Conference for-eign missions program. Another event of the year was the annual Missionary Day when guest speakers were Dr. Earl L. Riley, Dr. Glenn Tuttle, and Rev. Walfred Danielson. tmion,ar gan,c1 SEATED: Miss E. Nelson, Alma Iblings, Arlene Peterson, Mabel Anderson, Virginia Anderson.

If you were to enter the reception room of the Girls' Dormitory on the second Thursday of every month at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, you would be welcomed by the feminine group of Bethel including all College and Seminary girls, teachers and faculty wives. This group is known as the Bethel Women's Association of which Miss E. Nelson is the advisor. Throughout the year the cabinet chairmen consisting of Mabel Anderson, Virginia Ander-son, Violet Carlson and Alice Olson, together with their groups, have been responsible for the programs. The object of this organization is to bring all Bethel women together in a closer fellowship with one another and with God. The officers for the past year were: president, Alma Iblings; vice president, Lily Johnson; secretary, Barbara Edson; assistant secretary, Jane Larson; treasurer, Gladys Biller; assistant treas-urer, Miriam Nelson. . . . &gel Wonien'3 _Amociation, Thirty-six Thirty-seven TOP Row: R.

Male Quartette The Bethel Male Quartet consisting of David Danielson, Lloyd Nordstrom, Wil-liam Peterson, and Roger Youngquist, has made itself a popular and well-known group both inside and outside of Bethel. Not only has the quartet taken part in chapel programs, Twin City Church services, and Gospel team work, but it also took a large part in the concert given by the Bethel choral groups at the First Baptist Church in Minneapolis.

With a group of thirty-eight members, this year's Arian Chorus under the able direction of Professor Nels Stjernstrom, had many successful singing engagements. Besides singing in many of the Twin City churches, the group also sang at the St. Paul Youth For Christ Singspiration, and made a trip out of town to Cambridge. The Arian Chorus, which was organized at Bethel only five years ago, is for the musical training and de-velopment of Bethel girls. Officers for this year included: pianist, Ruth Rask; president, Dorothy Dahlman; vice president, Jean Hamlett; secretary, Gretchen Clauson; treasurer, Phyllis Johnson; and librarian, Vir-ginia Peterson. This year, the Bethel Male Chorus under the direction of Professor Nels Stjernstrom, consisted of fourteen mem-bers. The officers of the group were: president, Lloyd Nordstrom; vice presi-dent, David Danielson; secretary, War-ren Magnuson; treasurer, William Peter-son; and librarian, Clarence Sahlin. A concert given at the First Baptist Church in Minneapolis featured the Male Chorus along with the other Bethel musical groups. We also have had the privilege of hearing this group in chapel pro-grams. Because most of the members of the chorus were student pastors and had other duties, the chorus was not able to sing at any other affairs. Clarion Staff FIRST Row: E. Pegors, A. Skarp, N.

If we as a staff of the forty-five "Spire - are to claim any publication records, we must boast of speed. The difficulties involved in obtaining mate-rial due to wartime restrictions for a time seemed to make publication impossible. But with the aid of the students, and the co-operation of a willing staff, you read this and similar pages. As we look at these pages, yet in copy form, we feel proud of our accomplishments. Your thanks is already given by your support and enthusiasm. Spire Staff FIRST Row: J. Larson, D. Larson, W. Peterson, W. Peterson, J. Lundquist. SECOND Row: P. Widen, J. Lyster, W. Thompson, G.

This year the Clarion has enlarged its circulation to include all servicemen who have left Bethel since school started, this year and last year, and to all others who have requested it. A subscription drive was launched during Homecoming Week in the fall which also increased the Clarion's circulation. For Homecoming a six-page issue was printed. The first part of the year Mabel Anderson was editor, and her assistant was Carl Applequist. In March Co-Editors Norma Seaquist and Audrey Skarp took up their duties. The business manager for the entire year was William Thomp-son, and the business advisor was Dean Emery Johnson. Forty Forty-one . . . AtA.Lti,J Student Pastors are young men from all classes of the Seminary. Each week end they take up their charges at missions and churches in the Twin City area and outlying towns and rural communities. Some have steady pastorates while others are kept busy supplying pulpits at various places where the need arises. Because of the shortage of pastors clue to chaplaincy enlistments, our Seminary stu-dents look out upon fields white with harvest but where labourers are few, and are brought face to face with the challenge of a needy world.

As a result, it had a good season with a full schedule. The team made a trip to Cambridge, Minnesota, and also played several games at nearby colleges, but most of the games were played in the college gym. During the fall semester, Betty Danielson acted as coach; Paul Edwards took over in January. The team's captain was Eunice Wood, and Marianne Schouweiler served as manager. FIRST Row: C. Peterson, B.

Although they encountered difficulty at the begin-ning of the season, Bethel's diamondmen had, on the whole, a successful year. Six men returned from last year's nine to form the nucleus for one of the finest squads in the history of the sport at Bethel. A standout throughout the season was Captain Clarence Sahlin, whose steady play both in the field and at the plate con-stantly drew the attention and praise of the fans. 1 Bethel vs. Concordia 8 7 Bethel vs. Luther 6 4 Bethel vs. Augsburg 7 0 Bethel vs. Hamline 1 ea"Lii Forty-six "," +ZA 1.

Well I Guess I Have To Bribe You
The one who writes the best explanation of how Raketu and its features - particularly the multi-media, video on demand -podcast type stuff works on Raketu will win a prize.
I'll draw your caricature and add a cartoon character to it.
Scroll down to the last two posts, use Raketu and then describe how it works for you.
If you write it super clearly, you will win! Maybe I'll even hire you.
Your pal,
29 comments:
I've tried running it here. But this pc is (at least) 12 years old now. I'll try putting it on an office pc and seeing how raketu runs there. :]
Would love to help you out and consider myself very bribable, but unfortunately, like you, Raketu doesn't support my choice of computer platform yet since I don't have a Windows PC.
I'd truly love to pay back some of the great info you've provided here and at ASIFA, so tell your friends at Raketu to hurry up with Mac support and I'll be happy to give you some feedback.
The drawing you did there for Kali is amazing!! I like Eric and Tara (possibly? or maybe it's someone else?) quite a lot too :)
- Aggie said...
Happy New Year, John! I put a little run-through of my fun with Raketu on my subdomain.
I installed it but ended up uninstalling it later. I like how Raketu isn't a supernode (they explain what a supernode is on the website) but ultimately it has a cluttered and ugly interface and that is what drove me to uninstall it straight-away (that and I can only stand Google Talk for instant messengering).
What they really need to do is get someone to design their software interface and realise that less is more! It's pretty daunting for anyone to look at a program with lots of buttons and junk on it and somehow figure out how to change options and use the multitude of features that Raketu reportedly has.
- Sean Worsham said...
How Raketu works for me:
The best way I can describe how Raketu works for me is that it is great when I want to take my aim contacts as well as other ones such as msn messenger and include them all in one package so I can contact them all simultaneously. It is best when I want to do video blogging as well when I want to present my videos to the world. I also love the rocket game where I can play against my friend on it. It is especially good when I want to send sounds of me making fart noises to wake up my Mom and Dad in the morning with it. Ahh the wonders of technology, it only makes life easier for me :)
- Jorge Garrido said...
Whoah! I wish I could win this one! I envy whoever's gonna get a pic!
I'll get it and post my review in a few weeks, this sounds like the new KA everyone will be talking about.
- Sliced Oranges said...
My entry:
Raketu is amazing. I used to have to open many applications at once in order to complete all my instant messaging tasks, not to mention that it put an extreme load on my computer. Thankfully, all that nonsense ended the day I downloaded Raketu. Its intuitive design allows me to message my friends, regardless of their instant messaging program. It allows me to check my email and podcasts... it even lets me make international calls right from my computer! I can even check my stocks and keep up-to-date on local weather and news. Plus, it's easy! You don't need to be a computer whiz to realize Raketu's full potential. Raketu has made my online life much easier.
Thanks for Reading, John.
- Ben Pixen said...
My Entry-
Raketu makes life easier. The program lets you contact all your friends that are using different Instant Messengers through one incredible program. Raketu doesn't just handle multiple Messengers, it also provides games, weather forecasts, and the news. It's very nice to have a Messenger that truely works.
I'd download it but AdiumX already handles all my IM needs. For voice calls I have a cellphone which also handles other things for me and is more convenient than VoIP.
Raketu saved my life, and my marriage. Earlier this year I had a falling out with my wife who I will simply refer to as "Chestnut." Chestnut left me for a wild-eyed sailor with a liver problem named Dave, and she lived with him on his houseboat for a good month and a half. Chestnut refused to talk to me or even see my face during this period, even as I vowed to claim her once again. Using Raketu, I was able to talk to her over the instant messaging application AIM. But when she realized it was me she quickly switched to MSN Messenger using the same ID. Well she couldn't fool me and I continued to talk to her, and without even having to switch into a different window, by god. She continued to avoid me and I continued to stalk her, using the various software integrated by Raketu. This went on for what seemed like years, but was only a month and a half. Until finally, I could stand it no more. I had to have her and I knew what I had to do to get her. Using Raketu, I shared with her a podcast I made conveying the pain and unbearable suffering that I endured everyday I was without her. Watching it reminded her of the love we shared and brought us back together.
Well actually I sort of sunk Dave's houseboat, along with my beloved Chestnut and it ended up getting pretty messy. The police were involved, the newspapers were all over it, and I had to live below the border for a while. But the important thing is: I wasn't convicted. Oh, and I got my wife back. Yep, she's rotting in my arms as we speak.
So thank you Raketu, for guiding her back to me. Your crappy interface and software integration made it so that nothing could come between our love. Not even a supernode.
I used to use Trillian because having AIM, Yahoo and MSN going all at once is too much on my computer (since I'm on dialup). So far in the last day that I've had Raketu downloaded, I've been putting it to good use. And since I couldn't go out to do anything for New Years Eve (I've been sick), it gave me a chance to be creative:
It's the year 2007,
It's time for a change
I'm tired of my computer
Messing up and acting strange
I'm getting rid of KaZaA,
AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo
All that junk clogs everything up--
I've finally discovered Raketu!
Raketu lets me enjoy the 'Net
It combines all my online messenger friends,
I can upload all my music and films
and listen to no living end!
Raketu lets me check my email;
its Picture Viewer helps me out in school
It plays, saves and shares podcasts
while I game and karaoke like a crazy fool!
It tells me if it'll rain or snow,
It informs me of the daily news,
It's the greatest thing since sliced bread
And it's very simple to use
Raketu doesn't use supernodes,
My security threats are down,
My resources are used by no one but me
and not some unknown clown!
So for a faster, safer computer
and a guarantee for unwasted time,
I'm going to download Raketu--
the best excuse for staying online!
I was going to write a review dripping with wit and humor, but it turns out I didn't like Raketu enough to motivate myself into action. Here are four thoughts anyway, as a bonus for those who read blog comments:
1) Would not log me into AOL Instant Messenger
2) Successfully logged me into MSN, with everything I normally use in MSN available except for the personal message line
3) Options were useful, from what I tested using MSN
4) Ugly interface; took me back 7 years or further
I hope you have financial and creative success in your endeavor here, but I uninstalled the programs and have since changed my passwords (I'm paranoid about Raketu collecting those passwords; they could hack my account and talk to all of my dorky friends).
Been using Raketu for a few days and it works fine. It's like everything out there. Boring! It does have the positive of having options that you can't find elsewhere. But the interface needs some serious work. YOu should totally design a few skins(types of cool covers for the interface). People will have the option to customize the look of their window. Make it all super cartoony. all the smiley faces all the sound effects. make it fun to log in. They have John K. they should let you design that thing like crazy. Have a skin by Katie for the girlies. The freaking annoying frog ringtone sold like crazy. Kids pay for ugly cell phone cartoons. This can be 100% better. You need people to want it before they know what it does. Make it look good and bring them in and let Raketu take care of all the techno shit that will keep them. Think LOG!! with this. If you can make kids and adults want a piece of wood you can make them want this. Think of a catchy simple jingle. Here is a crappy one I came up with, you can do better:
"I can talk to whoever, wherever they are!
Don't need no phone, no AIM, no boring MSN.
Raketu does it all!!
Got all the info I need
weather, news, sports and
so much more!!
Raketu does it all!!
A steady stream of info
No matter what I'm into!!
Raketu, my #1 pallll!!"

Hey hey hey whayda go John! u the man!
Happy new year! Hope to see lots of animations in 2007! You rock boopie!
I wrote my review of the product, which is posted as a latest entry on my blog. My review is more from a technical standpoint, so it's not going to be as colorful as apt's or holly brooks's reviews.
It does have a lot of potential to be a major player, but they need to clean up a few things (like their interface and some of their bugs) before they're ready for prime time.
I'm right there with what Chris said. I have a good idea for the universal messaging aspect of Raketu, but upon download and inspection its not a very intuitive software.
I couldn't find the multimedia stuff that it boasts, and it kept denying my Google Talk account. The interface looks like a step up from the DOS command prompt.
The most appealing thing about Raketu is your character design and animation. I may be a bit biased but you are right about your advertising. It works great, I wouldn't have given Raketu a second thought had I just seen their website and read the explanation there. But after clicking your ad, I went right there and downloaded the program without much question.
It would be great if the companies with great products and established reputations would give you a shot with some of this stuff. Or the fellas there at Raketu can learn from these comments and better their software. It looks like the tools are all there they just need a good interface...an appealing layout. Nothing a good artist and a webaholic couldn't fix.
Thats my two cents,
I'm not apathetic about Raketu - I just don't have a PC to try it on! Sorry, John.
Oops! I forgot - Happy New Year, John!
- Cayen said...
Just saw this. I'm going to be switching to Raketu very soon. Your posts about it are awsome and have me considering switching to it. Actually the only thing stopping me now is I'm playing recovery from chistmas.
As far as Raketu goes, it's clearly superior. It's better then skype (for reasons you described) and I don't need 8 or 9 programs for instant messageing each of different sizes and "extra" content I don't need, like AOL and it's stupid ads.
- Lord Turbine said...
This definately gave me enough insentive to try this out on my dusty PC that's been left aside for a while - I have no need for it now that I have my Mac.
I'll post my "How it works for me" thing after I test Raketu a bit more, however, I do have one question: are you going to be working on the actual application's GUI as well? I find that to be a bit lacking, and it definately needs an overhaul - especially if they ever plan to bring it cross-platform. I think that at least the app's icons can be changed to reflect their brand image - I wouldn't mind a little Raketu head on my desktop. :)
I just tried Raketu and I have to agree with some of you on here, I hate the interface. Kinda because your great advertising provides the need to see that retro style back in the interface as well. It bugged on my google talk too. I love the music and podcast feature though, that's a really smart move. In short, love the features, it has lots of potential, but I want more eye candy. (But it has to be clean and simple at the same time). Heh. Spoiled.
- Ted said...
Raketu does not work on Mac. Perhaps in the world of next Tuesday. The end.
- akira said...
Raketu I love the most,
Raketu tastes good on toast!
Without Raketu I would have died,
cuz I'd have committed suicide.
- cemenTIMental said...
Another Mac user, sorry. ^_^
Even if I had a PC it's not the sort of thing I'd pay money for. But I look forward to seeing whatever animation you do for them!
- El Bergo said...
i installed raketu and i had a really bad impression about it, because the layout is just horrible and confuse! But I really like the idea of having lots of instant messengering softwares in one, and its nice to play games, reading emails and using the podcast. I think the whole idea of it great, but they really have to work on the design.
Are you wanting to use that new fangled internet web thang to its full potential?
Are you wanting to contact folk but find that those gosh darn instant messaging programmes and phone lines clutter up your world?
Are you wanting to listen to good ole timey music and hear folk on the old podcasterola?
Are you just a pathetic poor soul sitting alone in front of your computer wishing that there was someway, somehow, someTHING that would change your life?
Well look no further friend! RAKETU is here!
You want contact with other humans? Well with Raketu you can now contact folks on all those strange computery machines. With Raketu you can contact them through instant messaging, on the phone or mobile on your computer.
But Raketu gets better, brother! You don't even need to have any of that dirty old instant messaging software stuff installed on your computer! No way! With Raketu you can contact anyone!

Microsoft hasn't exactly had a great couple of years.
Its new Windows 8 operating system was held responsible for the drop in PC sales last quarter. Sales of its Windows Phones lag far behind both the iPhone and Google's Android phones.
The light in the darkness for Microsoft has been the Xbox 360, which has been the top-selling game console for over two years — beating out both the Nintendo Wii and Sony's PlayStation. On Tuesday, Microsoft is expected to announce a new version of the Xbox.
The new Xbox will certainly have plenty to entice hard-core gamers. Analysts say it will be faster, have amazingly realistic graphics and as much as two terabytes of storage. Fans of Call of Duty have already been getting tantalizing peeks at the new version and undoubtedly they will learn more about the updated game at Tuesday's event.
But, the new Xbox is going to be about more than hard-core games. Microsoft wants to be the center of your living room.
It's a strategy that's been working well for the company. According Microsoft, last year people spent more time on Xbox Live (the company's online service) watching TV and movies than they did playing games. Analysts say the new Xbox is going to move the console further down that road.
Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities who follows the game industry, believes that a deal is in the works that will turn the Xbox into a cable connection. That means you could switch from playing Call of Duty to watching Game of Thrones without changing boxes. However, Pachter says he isn't certain if Microsoft will announce that at Tuesday's press conference.
Pachter says most likely Tuesday will be a preview. Microsoft purchased Skype, so we are likely to learn about how you'll be able to see and chat with your friends while you're watching Game of Thrones or playing Call of Duty. The Kinect, Microsoft's gesture computing device, may be integrated into the Xbox rather than being a separate device.
Microsoft is the last entrant into the next-generation console wars.
Nintendo launched the Wii U last year. So far, the company that brought us Super Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong has seen disappointing sales. Nintendo does not appear to be making a big play for the living room. Sony has already previewed the PS4 but hasn't said much about whether it will go full force into turning the PlayStation into an entertainment center. Pachter believes Sony will follow Microsoft's lead and gear its new console toward more than games.
As technology marches forward, the big growth in gaming is going to be on mobile devices — the smartphone, the tablet — not on consoles. If Microsoft and Sony want to grow, they will have to turn the console into a device that has entertainment features that appeal to non-gamers. It needs to be a device that even grandma might want to buy.
Now to news from another tech giant, Microsoft. The company hasn't had a great couple of years. Its new Windows 8 operating system was held responsible for a recent drop in PC sales and sales of its Windows phones lag far behind both the iPhone and Google's Android phones. The bright spot for Microsoft has been the Xbox 360. It's the top-selling game console and tomorrow, Microsoft is expected to announce a new version of the Xbox that's aiming to play a bigger role in consumer's lives.
Joining me now to talk about it is NPR's Laura Sydell. And Laura, what do we know about the next generation of the Xbox?
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: Well, it will be faster. It'll have more storage, better graphics, all that stuff that gamers really love. But I think with this version, in particular, it's going to be about a lot more than games. So it's going to be about entertainment. Check this out. So entertainment usage on the Xbox surpassed multiplayer game use last year. So that means that people are spending more time using their Xbox to watch movies and TV on Netflix, that they're actually using it less for games.
So I think that Microsoft is likely to find ways to make it even easier to access other forms of entertainment. And I don't know if they will announce all of it tomorrow, but before the Xbox actually hits the stores, I've been told by reliable analysts that the company is working on deals with cable companies that will turn the Xbox into a cable box. Microsoft is basically making a play to reign supreme in your living room.
BLOCK: Well, the big competition for the Xbox is Nintendo and Sony. So are they trying to do what this new Xbox would do as well?
SYDELL: So Nintendo already has the Wii U on the market and the sales on that device have been kind of disappointing and they really haven't made a big play for the living room. Sony announced the PS4. Not on the market yet. So far, they haven't talked about how it's going to be part of a wider strategy, but before it's released, it's possible they will.
Microsoft has some potential advantages. First off, they purchased Skype. So imagine now you'll be able to watch a friend as you're playing a game with them or chat with them as you're watching a television show. Microsoft also has the Kinect and the Kinect was an add-on to the Xbox that let you, say, walk in and just use a gesture and begin with the game and I imagine it's going to be fully integrated into the new Xbox.
So, like, you walk in and wave your hand and bring up the entire season of "Game of Thrones."
BLOCK: So why is this the strategy, Laura, that Microsoft is taking, rather than just sticking to games?
SYDELL: The reality for the game world is that consoles are becoming less and less important. The new frontier is really on mobile devices, so your phone, your tablet computer, are game centers. I mean, there's always going to be the hardcore gamers, but really, more and more people who play games are shifting to mobile devices. Most analysts will tell you that that's where the growing audience is, not really on the game console.
BLOCK: So the console has to fill other roles then to stay viable.
SYDELL: Exactly.
BLOCK: Okay. NPR's Laura Sydell. Laura, thanks.
SYDELL: You're welcome. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Food packages being distributed to every community in Butler County
More than 10,000 servings of macaroni and cheese began going out to help feed needy families in Butler County this week, thanks to a project completed by the Leadership Butler Class of 2011.
The class assembled and packaged 10,140 servings of the FDA-approved product, which is made with fortified noodles, textured vegetable protein and a cheese packet that contains extra vitamins and minerals.
By the end of November, they will have all been distributed to families in the Augusta, Andover, Bluestem, Circle, Douglass, El Dorado, Flint Hills, Remington and Rose Hill school districts.
Isaac McNary, a member of the Leadership Butler class, created the event through the hunger relief organization Outreach, Inc. He said he would not be surprised to see the project turn into an annual event.
"It was a huge success," McNary said. "I know as we start to see the impact this event will have on Butler County, excitement is going to build. Whether it is Leadership Butler that carries the torch or not, I'm confident what we started is going to keep growing and getting bigger."
According to feedingamerica.org, 3,590 children in Butler County can be defined as "food insecure." That number compiles more than 20 percent of Butler's youth population. In Sedgwick County, it's more than 23 percent.
"That's a staggering number, and it is like this all across the United States," McNary said. "We made a start, but there is still a lot of work left to do."
Those who would like to donate for this year's project may drop off canned items at The Villas, 700 S. Haverhill Rd. in El Dorado, during the entire month of November.
For information on how to host your own packaging event, please contact McNary at firstname.lastname@example.com or (316) 461-0512.
Since 1988, the Leadership Butler program has graduated nearly 500 adults who are passionate about their communities, and continually committed to making them better.

Longtime Levy County businessman Jamie Griffin has announced plans to run for the District 1 Levy County Commission seat.
Griffin, 51, who was born and raised in Bronson, has invested heavily in Levy County because he believes in the county and respects its people, its traditions, its God-centered way of life and its economy that is rooted in agriculture, timber production and aquaculture.
He strongly believes his business background will be an asset to Levy County government, and that the budget of the county should be managed in ways that are financially sound and fiscally conservative. He will be guided by business principles and common sense.
Griffin owns and operates Bett's Big T Restaurant in Chiefland, the Seabreeze Restaurant on the waterfront in Cedar Key, the Bronson Restaurant in Bronson and the Fireside Grill in Cross City. He is responsible for employing many and would like to bring more jobs to Levy County, especially for the young people who want to build a life and raise a family on Levy County soil. They need jobs and the income to put food on the table, a roof over their head and to prosper. They shouldn't have to commute to other counties to get jobs.
Griffin also believes construction of the Tri-County Hospital in Chiefland is critical for growth and to meet the medical needs of the tri-county area, and he also wants to work with Williston to grow its hospital services. "Healthcare is so important to people. It is important to me too", he said.
He welcomes the opportunity to serve the people of Levy County and respectfully asks for their vote on Nov. 6 in the general election.
"I would like to express my sincere thanks, appreciation and gratitude to my family, friends, and Levy County citizens for giving me a second chance to seek and serve you in the position of Levy County Commissioner in my hometown district of Bronson. It is an honor and a privilege and I am truly humbled by your support and encouragement. It has also been a joy to be back in business in Levy County and being able to become reacquainted with everyone from the past and to meet new friends. You will never know how blessed I feel to be welcomed back as I have been," Griffin said.
Griffin enjoys living and working in Levy County. He was raised in Bronson, which has been home for him for his entire life. He is active as the pianist and organist at the Bronson United Methodist Church, which is also the church where his Mother and Father were members until their passing in 1991. His Mother, Elizabeth Griffin, was raised in Romeo, south of Williston and his Father, Clifton Griffin, was raised in Williston.
"I love my church family and my hometown. I graduated from Bronson High School and attended Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville. I have been in business constantly in Levy County since 1981. I am a Christian and a fiscal conservative," Griffin said.
Griffin is the former Mayor of Bronson and has not forgotten the huge mistake that changed his life, but he has moved on and learned lessons that will stay with him forever. The experience has made him a better person.
"I took responsibility for the mistake, I paid my debt back and I took my punishment without grumbling," he said. "I have asked for forgiveness from God, my Church, my Family, my Friends, and from my Community. Most have forgiven, some have not, but the ball is in their court. I did wrong but I have done everything I know possible to make it right and now it is time to move on in a positive direction. Thank you for your support during the darkest days of my life."
Griffin believes he could serve the people of Levy County in ways that will make their lives better. He believes it is important for him to become part of the team of Levy County Commissioners, working together to build strong working relationships in order to accomplish goals. One of his goals is to make Levy County government debt free. "Eliminating debt will free funds that can be spent to make the community stronger." He wants to work with current county employees to create an atmosphere of service to the community and to establish a program that recognizes the contributions of good employees.
"It is important to me that an employee be able to enjoy his or her job and look forward to coming to work and I will always work towards accomplishing this," Griffin said. "You can see from the way I have worked in the past, that I have always done business, and I view County government as a business. It needs to be operated with business principles."

Foreign Language Lessons
Posted by Dawn at 11:27 PM

How adorable! Wow, nice job figuring that one out!
- May 14, 2009 at 2:03 AM
Amazing what the kids remember!
I'm just reading your chapter "house devils and street angels" -- and you know what: besides that it's the same in my family (people keep telling me how well behaved my kids are -- huh? Are they really talking about MY kids???), we also have the exact same term in German: Hausbengel and Strassenengel! That's funny.
By the way, know how kids learn to speak by observing and listening to others? The other day I told my 2 year old daugther to wait for me in the front yard while I was just going to lock the door. "Okay, Ma," she said -- and, of course, immediately took off over to the neighbors. At first I wondered why nobody will ever listen to what I say (even though that doesn't come as a surprise, ;-)), but then it hit me: She did exactly as she observed with her older siblings -- say the one thing and do the other, ;-). I mean, in her little mind "okay, Ma" really must mean: "Yeah, right, see if I care!".
Thought it was so funny once I realized.
So long,

Please please please can you go back to having the full blog post in your RSS feed rather than a snippet?! I can only read blogs through a reader when I'm at work, so get frustrated when I see the beginning of the message but not the rest :(

hey, what changed with your blog? in my reader it shows like half a sentence then "head over to my blog for the rest of the story." good for getting more traffic, but bad for lazy blog stalkers, like me.

I remember trying so hard to interpret what my daughter was saying when she was learning to talk. Now that she's talking well (maybe too well!) at three, I still have to interpret, just like moms everywhere.
Wonder what interpretive skills will be required when the triplets start talking?
Thanks for the laugh.

I just wanted you to know that I had went to Border's and they haven't gotta your book. The man said it never had came in. I live in St. Charles. Near St. Louis, Missouri. Do you know what books stores will carry it? I hope all will.

Ooooooh! The DUCK store! Why, of course, duh!
That is so funny!!! So we have to keep interpreting even AFTER they start speaking clearly, huh?

Hi Dawn!
"Foreign language interpreter: just another one of mom's jobs."
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
By the way, it isn't just one of mom's jobs; it's one of the WIFE's jobs as well. For example, a typical statement from my husband:
"You know that guy who did the thing on that show? I think I'll do that."
Through the query-and-answer system (demonstrated in your blog today), I discover that he is talking about one of those DIY shows involving remodeling a kitchen, and now he wants to install the same type of lights in our kitchen.

Foreign language interpreter will come in handy with aging parents or husband. Nouns seems to be used sparingly by both, and sometimes I feel like I have to be a F L I with all of them!
- May 14, 2009 at 5:41 PM
ROFL! That's brilliant. There was one time I was babysitting a little four-year-old, and she wanted to pretend that we were going out to eat.
Me: "Where do you want to eat?"
Four-year-old: "We can go to yed yobzer!"
Me: "Wait, where?"
Four-year-old: "Yed Yobzer!!!!"
After ten or twelve repititions, I figured out that she was trying to say "Red Lobster." Ooooohhhh, riiighhtt....

The blue one does NOT wash off shower walls!!!!
I had a set of these in college.... when I lived in a townhouse with 4 guys. You don't even want to know how many hours of scrubbing it took to get many dirty words and drawings out of the shower at the end of the year so we wouldn't get fined! (But ridiculously fun before we found out how much the blue one sucks!!!)
- May 14, 2009 at 9:21 PM
That's very cute of Brooklyn, so Dawn, did you get her that after she had spent so much time telling you what she wanted?

It always amazes me what kids pull out of their memory banks. Nice mom to figure that one out. I don't know that I EVER would have gotten that one!
And Sanctuary? Yay? Nay? Don't want to stand you up accidentally ;)
- May 14, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Gosh. You don't mean interpreter....you mean investigator!!! I never would have figured it out, and we have had these too! The kids love them.
Have a good Friday!

HAHAHA. I read this post to my husband, telling him that it reminded me of something our 2 yr old niece would say. After I read it to him, he said ya, she always tells her dad to "make me a duck" when she needs to go potty. Her parents couldn't figure out what the heck she wanted at first... and then they realized that they usually tucked her skirt or shirt up under her arms so she didn't get it in the toilet... and that was what she wanted.
Keep up the good work, Dawn, and if you ever head down to Shreveport, Louisiana, let me know.

Out here in Oregon, going to the Duck Store isn't a strange request.
I hope they heed Abby's advice and don't sell those at that Duck Store.

It's amazing the things they remember, seemingly out of nowhere! Yesterday my 4.5-year-old came to me crying. When I asked what was wrong he said he misses our freezer. After much questioning I realized he meant the small chest freezer that used to be in our garage -- I gave it to my in-laws back in January. He has never said a word about the thing before. I was finally able to get him to stop crying by telling him we could go visit the freezer at Nanny and Papa's house soon.
Oh, and when he was really little all the stores were color coded. It took a while to figure out what he meant, but Target was the red store, Walmart was the white store, Home Depot was the orange store and Lowes was the blue store. I forget what the green store was....

Hi Dawn!
My name is Jenn, I have been reading your blog for about a year (first time commenting though!) I ordered your book the other day, and I just got home from work and found it in my mailbox! I started reading it right away, and I am LOVING it! I'm on Chapter 2 so far... I have a feeling nothing is going to get done at home (the reason I left work early today) until this book is done!

Hey Dawn,
I was in the hospital all week with an allergic reaction to "something". My husband brought your book to me on day two, I was so excited that it had arrived. He knew just what I needed! It really kept my spirits high getting a fill of your humor. I had to keep putting the book down so I would have something to pick up through out my stay. I totally enjoyed your book, and especially laughing out loud so many times! Looking forward to the next one...

A heist like the recent armed theft of $50 million in diamonds from the Brussels airport makes everyone think the same thing: This sounds like a movie. After all, for the last 110 years or so (ever since Edwin S. Porter's 1903 landmark The Great Train Robbery), the movies have delighted in showing us elaborate robbery schemes while toying with our sympathies: should we identify with the side of law and order? Or with the calculating crooks, as the films seem to encourage us to do?
The heist movie has become a dependable sub-genre of its own, one that persuades us to admire the outlaws' ingenuity, even if we're rooting for their failure. After the demise of Hollywood's production code in the late 1960s, the thieves were, on occasion, even allowed to get away with it, twisting our sympathies even further. No one likes to be conned or victimized in real life, but in the movies, there's no small pleasure in being successfully swindled.
Here, then, are 10 of the most influential heist movies, capers that (aptly enough) other caper films have stolen from.

This happening on many of the series not just this one! Maybe I need to clean out the cookies on my PC.

One who forces their religion down another's throat in an effort to 'educate the ignorant/unenlightened'. These people are well known for every wrong to ever fall upon mankind, as well as the birth of the atheist and the agnostic.
News flash, guys; God gave us the Bible to TEACH, not to BELABOUR! If they want to be Christian/Jewish/Muslim/Buddist/whatever, they'll do whatever they can to convert, If they don't, don't force them; you'll just make more atheists.

Wilmington resident and author Cindy Callaghan loves a good mystery and a lot of adventure. Young readers of her latest book, "Lost in London" will have the opportunity to ask Callaghan about both on Sunday when she makes an appearance at the Hockessin Book Shelf.

This weekend, Hockessin Book Shelf owner Rebecca Dowling is opening up her store to what she hopes will be a whole new generation of avid readers and book buyers when she hosts novelist Cindy Callaghan for "An Afternoon with the Author."
Normally Dowling's author events are geared towards adults who have a passion for writers with a local connection. This time, she's hoping to spread her enthusiasm tweens.
"We're so excited about Cindy's visit," Dowling said. "It will be the first time we've ever engaged with middle grades readers and just the beginning of events we'd like to do with several age groups."
With adult events, Dowling typically hires a caterer for hors d'oeuvres and charges a budget-friendly $10 fee to cover the overhead expenses. For this event, she is waiving any sort of admission cost and only requiring that participants purchase a copy of the author's latest book, which she is selling at a discount for $5.59 (20 percent off the list price of $6.99).
"So far we have about 15 kids who have been brought in by their parents to R.S.V.P., for the event," Dowling said at the beginning of the week, adding that the feedback she's hearing from those parents makes her even more excited about Sunday afternoon. "Many of the parents who are bringing their children have called me to tell me that their girls went home and finished the book in record time. They're all so excited to meet Cindy [Callaghan]."
The feeling is mutual. Callaghan seems to love engaging with her young fans almost as much as loves writing for them. She regularly visits schools, discussing her books, reading and the writing process.
Sunday's visit to the Hockessin Book Shelf celebrates her second book "Lost in London." Like many of the tweens reading the book, its main character, Jordan, is from Delaware. She's a jet-set girl, though, who heads to London and quickly finds herself embroiled in adventure and mystery.
"I love to read mysteries so the books I write for young readers almost always also have an adventure/thriller/mystery aspect to them," Callaghan explained while traveling to meet family for Thanksgiving.
Her first book geared towards tweens, "Just Add Magic" stayed true to that concept as well. However, the plot is mystery that Callaghan is happy to spill the beans about.
"Several years ago, my oldest daughter had friends over to bake," Callaghan recalled, laughing over her own worries about a colossal kitchen mess. "They had the best time and my first thought was 'wouldn't it be great if they had a club or something so they could do this more often.'"
Her imagination took over and the ideas started rolling out as quickly as a professional baker rolls out dough for donuts. What if the club was a secret? What if there was a lost cookbook with mysterious recipes?
The oldest daughter who inspired the book is now a full-fledged teen now but she, her younger brother and her younger sister still help mom brainstorm and offer up solid critiques about whatever project she is working on.
"They're so great with ideas when I'm stuck," she said. "My son—he's 14 years old now—he's wonderful with specific advice about what words to use or not to use because he thinks they might be too advanced. All three [of her kids] want to make whatever project I'm working on as good as it can be."
She likes getting help from readers, too. For "Lost in London" she turned to fans of her social media sites to help her name two characters, offering people the chance to submit names. After two weeks, a little girl in northern New Jersey won with "Skye Summers" while a mom in southern New Jersey combined her two sons' names and submitted "Cole Miles," which also won. Skye and Cole are now official characters.
On December 4, Callaghan will be seeking names for two unnamed girl characters through her website and her social media accounts for her 2014 release "Lucky Me". Two weeks later, she'll pick a name out of a hat.
"Almost anything will work but it will have to be within reason, of course," Callaghan explained. "Megan is the name of the main character so we can't have another Megan. Also, some names, like the President or a celebrity won't work. And, it can't be offensive. But, anything else is fair game."
More questions about the contest or her books' plot lines and characters can be directed to Callaghan on Sunday.
"I'm excited about the event," she said. "I'm going to mingle with the readers and I'm going to do a dramatic reading in these wonderful black glasses that give kids the giggles whenever I wear them. We're all going to have a blast."
