Independent Carpet One Floor & Home Turns Westland, MI Teal
To help raise public awareness of ovarian cancer and its symptoms, Independent Carpet One Floor & Home in Westland, MI is participating in the Turn the Towns Teal campaign. To capture Westland and Wayne residents' attention, store owner Cathy Buchanan and her team tied biodegradable teal ribbons along 4 miles of roads in Westland and Wayne.
The ribbons will be displayed throughout September – National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. But, the ribbons are not the only way Independent Carpet One Floor & Home is getting involved. They are also distributing information on Ovarian Cancers often "silent" symptoms. Customers can also purchase teal bracelets and pins to help support the cause.

When a horrible tragedy happens in our lives, like the shooting in Newton, Conn., we often cry out, "Where was God? Why didn't He stop it?"
There are no easy answers, but there is something we must begin to face and deal with.
We have chosen over the years to remove God and prayer from our schools, the first Educator of mankind. We have removed His Book, the Bible, from our classrooms when, at one time, it was the main textbook for all education, written by the Chief Educator/Scientist/Historian/Mathematician/etc.
We have allowed the standard of God's Law to be removed from government and our justice system. We have chosen to govern ourselves rather than turn to the first and greatest Law-Giver of all, the Lord God.
We have rejected God's moral standards as laid out in the Bible, deciding that we don't like the restrictions. We want to do our own thing.
In essence, we have told God that we don't need Him; we don't want His Son, Jesus Christ; nor do we want anything to do with His Word. After all, we can do this thing called "life" so much better on our own without Him, right?
Just look around us to see the answer.
Where was God? Looking on and weeping because we had told Him to get out of our lives, so He left us to our own devices. Our hearts grieve with those personally affected by these tragedies.
God's heart grieves with them. He longs to wrap His arms around them and bring comfort. If we would only return to Him, asking forgiveness for our rejection of Him; if we would only restore His rightful place in our schools, our governments and courtrooms, our homes, how would life change?
I know there always will be those who are offended by the truth. But their push to make us remove God from the very fabric of our society is an offense to me and many others. More importantly, it is an offense to God.
We have a fence in our backyard as a boundary to keep our dog safe. Outside of that fence the world is big and enticing, but it also is fraught with life-threatening dangers.
Inside the fence there is protection, freedom within the boundaries, needs met and lots of love. We, as a society, have chosen the world outside the fence.
Have we had enough yet? Isn't it time to reject the false enticements and get back inside the fence of God's Word? The gate is in the shape of the Cross.

This note came today from Marilyn Gaull, who is just back from the Lake District and has already been planning for next year's Wordsworth Summer Conference at Dove Cottage.
It is hard to imagine a more festive summer. We delayed the thirty-fourth annual Wordsworth Summer Conference so that we could all attend the NASSR conference in New York City--which was awesome, including amazing talks, great company, and that inspired trip around Manhattan for our annual banquet. Then, it was off to Grasmere, where the party continued, Seamus Perry, Matthew Scott and Nicky Trott in a whole new setting, a compressed version of "Death's Jest-Book" in the living room of the Red Lion, and some of the best weather I can recall. Morning walks around the Lake, a special visit to Greenhead Ghyll to read "Michael," one of Molly Lefebure's memorable tours of Hawkshead, and, on the one rainy day, when the wind prevented our taking the launch to Brantwood, Ruskin's home, we had a rare quiet afternoon in Coniston, scattered in pubs and tea-rooms--a day we couldn't have planned yet one that worked out so perfectly. There were challenging hikes for the athletic, and a fine outing to Hadrian's Wall for the rest of us. In 2004 new friends will bring new adventures with them, and I know the conference will be entirely different. I hope everyone who wants to will find a way to join us. (The official announcement follows below--follow the link.) (cont'd)
Marilyn Gaull
The thirty-fifth annual Wordsworth Summer Conference will be held from July 31 to August 14 in Grasmere, Cumbria, UK. This charming village in a perfect valley has attracted writers, artists and scholars for the past two hundred years. It is the home of Dove Cottage, the award-winning Museum, Library, and the Center for British Romanticism.
The program is a rare combination of mental, physical, and social activity: lectures, informal papers, seminars, excursions to places of literary and historical interest, climbs up and along the great hills of the Lake District, poetry and play-readings, walks around the lake before breakfast, hikes and excursions to places of literary interest in the afternoon, festive meals, nightly discussions in the village pubs, and an auction of books and paintings conducted by Jonathan Wordsworth for the Wordsworth Trust. The theme is Romanticism, British and Continental, the literature, culture, lives, and times of the writers, thinkers, artists and the tradition of literary studies that has grown up around them. The speakers in 2004 will include Jonathan Bate, James McKusick, John Beer, Fred Burwick, Jane Stabler, Nicholas Roe, Seamus Perry, Jonathan Wordsworth, Gillian Beer, Michael O'Neil, Marilyn Gaull, and Christophe Bode.
Since its founding, the participants have included an international array of scholars, students, writers, professionals from many fields, all of whom, regardless of age, nationality, or experience find the ideal academy, creative center, and intellectual exchange. Since everyone participates, giving a paper or not, expenses for the conference are tax-deductible and appropriate for professional development. Also, with more than ninety hours of lectures, seminars, and excursions, students can earn up to four academic credits which we are pleased to validate through their institutions. The heart of our academy are the twenty minute research papers, followed by forty minutes of discussion on all aspects of Romanticism. Paper readers are required to participate in the full two weeks of the conference, without exception. They are the heart of our academy, and the continuity of our work depends on their participation.
The conference is residentially based at the luxurious and hospitable Red Lion Hotel in Grasmere, though alternate accommodations are available on request. For specific information about fees and rates in 2004, please visit http://www.wordsworth.org.uk/. We hope you will make Grasmere your destination in 2004. Here in the heart of the Lake District, for the first two weeks of every August, a community of friends and colleagues rediscover the alchemy of time, literature and art, personality and place that makes this conference unlike any event in the literary world. We hope you will join us.

Gospel Bus—A Reality
That advancements can be made where there
is a big push is being aptly demonstrated in
the Gospel team bus purchase plan. The pro-ject
has been the object of much discussion and
planning for years. This year, the student
council has pushed the plan until it seems
quite likely that the bus will be available i'or
use next fall. The liberal pledges of the student
body will assure it. The student body has en-dorsed
the plan, now lets get behind it and
give a large enough amount that the fund can
be completed. A great deal of the credit goes
to the Student Council and its president, Ed-ward
Nelson, for their efforts in making the
plans reality.
Wanted—A Name, and A Song
Three years ago "The Clarion" carried a
plea for names for the buildings on the Bethel
campus and a school song. The need still exists.
Our stately halls must still be known as the
"Seminary" and the "Junior College" for want
of other and more specific designations. After
two years of vain attempts our school song re-mains,
"Bethel, Bethel, Alma Mater."
The unifying force of distinctive names and
a spirited school song is very apparent. Doesn't
"Edgren Hall" carry a note of distinction, asso-ciation,
that "Seminary" never will? Nor can
we realize the school spirit we talk so much
about until we all willingly and whole-heart-edly
join in and sing a school song, our school
song, to the praise of our Alma Mater.
Thank You
We have wanted to say it but the thought that we
might be condemned as being insincere has kept
us from expressing a thank you to the faculty.
Some of the inspiration received in class will
never be forgotten. Nor can we ever forget the
times spent in prayer services, at informal times
talking about hobbies and other special interests.
Those are treasured experiences. We are truly
thankful for a faculty that believes firmly in the
word of God and the power in prayer.
To the Editor of the Bethel Clarion:
Dear Sir:
"Ah, what charm hath music to sooth the brutish
Some music addicts are the incubators for un-usual
ideas as to the peculiar power of music. Have
you heard that music if unrestrained is able to
control a person's mood? Well, Sir, that is just
what I've been told, but listen to my story and then
judge as to the theory's relative worth.
(Continued on Col. 3)
How Much and What Are the
Students Reading?
Of the 6,602 volumes in our li-brary
2,422 volumes have been in
circulation outside of the library
during the past year, while 3,402
volumes have been read in the re-serve
rooms. In order to get a bet-ter
estimate of the relative import-ance
of these figures we shall com-pare
the records with those of
former years. During the first half
of the Junior College the average
number of volumes read by each
student was 36, the second year the
average was 42, the third year the
average rose to 57, the fourth year
the average dropped to 36, the fifth
year there was an increase again
to 47, and the average for this year
is 48.
The students have read more in
the field of history than in any other
field during the last six years. Al-though
history ranked fourth in the
reading list during the first year of
the college, it has consistently held
first place each year following, un-til
this year when its place is a high
second to philosophy which really
includes child-study, ethics, and psy-chology.
The reading in philosophy
has been gaining each year from
seventh place to fifth and then from
second place to first. Literature,
which at first had first place, now
holds third place. Sociology has
worked itself up from fifth place to
fourth. There has been a decrease
in the reading of fiction, but an in-crease
in the reading in the fields
of fine arts, religion, science, biog-raphy,
periodicals, and fiction.
There is not only an increase in
the amount of reading done but also
an increase in the number of addi-tions
each year. Last year the li-brary
added twice as many books
as the year before, and this year
346 volumes were added, not count-ing
the 112 volumes which have
gone through the college library
into the seminary library. A spe-cial
study of the figures will, at
least partially, explain the trends in
the reading. History has not only
held first place in reading but also
in purchase for a number of years.
Literature, sociology, religion, phil-osophy,
science, biography, and fic-tion
follow history in the order
named. The reason for the marked
increase in the reading in the field
of religion may be explained by the
fact that with the introduction of
the Christian Workers' Course into
the College there has been an addi-tion
of a great number of books
dealing with Sunday School work
and other Church work. A list of
the volumes on art and music has
been given in a previous issue of
the Clarion, but it is not out of place
to mention these volumes again as
a group, because the attention
which the students have given to
these books shows a marked trend
toward a growing interest in cul-tural
The Junior College students have
read an acceptable amount during
the past year and the library has
tried to strengthen the fields in
which there has been a weakness
but there is room for improvement
on the part of all. In looking for-ward
to another year the library
wishes to adopt the slogan "A Bet-ter
Library in A Better Bethel."
Effie V. Nelson,
(Continued from Col. 1)
Fate has decreed that I should have a lifelong
friend whose oddities and fancies would be the
pleasant bane of my existence. As I look back now
over the fitful years that we two have dwelt in the
same house I sigh resignedly as I recall the many
things I've borne for his sake. And now in these
latter days by divers signs and actions I strongly
suspect him to have succumbed to that pernicious
type of derangement—phonographic fanaticism.
What a man! Why just the other day after receiv-ing
a sharp command from my conscience to study,
that unscrupulous fellow suggested that I'd been
taking things a trifle too seriously and really need-ed
a bit of diversion. Before I knew it he'd gently
disengaged my fingers from my Homiletics book and
placed a book of phonograph records in my hand.
Oh, it was shameful the way he controlled me, smil-ing
ingratiatingly at me as I fondled each favorite
record, and whispering insinuatingly in my ears,
"Just one more."
I dare not tell how long a time was spent in this
manner, but as we sat alone drinking in the glori-ous
waves of harmony, my friend quietly condes-cended
from the ecstatic cloud he'd been soaring
upon and spoke to me. "Did you ever think of
music as a means of controlling one's mood?" he
iterated, still a trifle aloof.
I stroked my chin, cocked my head and strove to
look intelligent, but it availed nothing for he was
well aware of my ignorance, so I settled back with
a martyred air and prepared to hear his latest brain-storm.
"You see my boy," he began, "through records I
have access to a great many types of music, ranging
in nature from the unrestrained joy and fervor of
"Finlandia" to the brooding dolor of Chopin's "Fun-eral
March." Now my theory is briefly this, that
through a wise selection and careful grouping of
musical numbers I can tease myself out of an un-desirable
mood and transport myself into a desir-able
or happy state of mind"
"I've read of music being used to soothe and allay
the unbalanced minds of the insane," my friend con-
;tinued, and observing the strange gleam in his eye
set me a wondering, "and if the insane are favor-ably
affected what is there to hinder music from
having the same effect on us?"
As he began to raise his voice and gesticulate
wildly I became uneasy and determined to seek the
first opportunity to put a close to all this. Ignoring
my perturbation he ranted on. Schubert's "Ave
Maria" and Chopin's "Nocturnes" are soothing and
quieting, Rossini's "Messe Solenelle" and Liszt's "La
Campanella" are stirring, while the "Lucia Sextette"
will rouse you from any after lecture sleepiness.
Now I knew that it was time for me to take mat-ters
in hand, so, brushing him aside, I replaced the
record book, turned off the phonograph and returned
to my studies. As I read I could hear him in the
back of my head mumbling, "It's a fact, one can
control one's mood with music."
Yours harmoniously I hope,
A general is going forth to war; he has many
battles to fight. Are his victories counted by the
many slain? His victory is measured by the
number of prisoners taken alive. How proud
he is as he marches into the city with this pro-cession
before him. He exhibits them to the
city as trophies of war; they are the spoils.
These men are all alive, not even necessarily
tuounded, but they have felt the point of the
spear and have yielded. When the spear was
pointed at them, they surrendered, saying, "the
battle is yours; you have won the victory; we
are your prisoners."
Saul was "breathing out threatenings and
slaughters" against the church when he felt the
lightning spear of the Lord in his breast and
surrendered, as he said, "Lord, what wilt Thou
have me to do?"
Are we too "prisoners of Jesus Christ" who
have been conquered at the point of his spear.

the Twin Cities to live in Chicago,
were the honor guests at a farewell
luncheon given by the Bethel stu-dents
last Thursday, May 26, in the
Junior College Chapel. At the close
of the school year, Mr. Wingblade
will take up his duties as pastor of
the Addison Street Baptist Church
in Chicago.
A short program led by Edward
Nelson, president of the student as-sociation,
followed the luncheon.
Prof. C. E. Carlson expressed the
appreciation of the faculty to Prof.
Wingblade for his work and benefi-cial
service rendered during his
twenty-eight years at Bethel. Harry
Aronson, who is graduating from
both the Junior College and the
Seminary this year, spoke briefly,
expressing what Prof. Wingblade
has meant to the student body.
Kermit Johnson played a trum-pet
solo, and the mixed quartet sang
two selections.
The student body presented Mr.
Wingblade with a token of appre-ciation.

Emotions of A Graduating Student
The graduates last days of school are perforce a mingling of sorrow,
regret, gratitude and anticipation.
I run up the campus walk in the golden and blue brightness of a
spring morning, and suddenly I am powered with a surging rush of
memories that bid me halt and think about the things I soon must leave
that long have been so dear to me.
I pick a tiny, perfumed spray of Bridal Wreath that shyly brushes
against the college building with every breath of playing wind, and wear
it proudly in my hair until at night I press the withered scrap between
the bulging pages of the book that holds the stimuli for a thousand sacred
memories for future years.
I stand before the library window on a rainy day, and watch with
sick rebellion the greyness of the sky, the standing pools of water on the
walk, and berate the unjust fate that ruined the day that we had planned
so long as one of celebration.
But not for long. I see a rainbow flash in brilliance thru the sky, and
a hundred infant sunbeams tumble thru the rift between the clouds, and
I open wide the window, and my heart is glad with love and gratitude
and sings all day a song.

Baseball Is Slow
The rain, after washing out two
consecutive games, finally eased up
enough to allow the Bethel Red
and White baseball team to win
over New Ulm, 15 to 5 in a confer-ence
game. The victory gave the
Bethel team undisputed champion-ship.
Orville Johnson pitched a fine
game with fine defensive fielding
behind him.

Bethany Wins 15-10
Bethany was due at the home
diamond at one o'clock for a double-header
on May 13. Due to a mis-understanding
between the coach
and manager, Bethany did not show
up until after 2:30, leaving time for
only one game to be played. Coach
Adam of Bethel protested the first
game claiming a forfeit which
would give Bethel a 9-0 victory. In
the second game, the Bethel team,
being on edge waiting for their
rival, showed the effects in their
loose fielding. Bethany beat out
Bethel in a comedy of errors. Final
score was Bethany 15, Bethel 10.

Win Over Blake
On May 17, Bethel again broke
into the win column by defeating
Blake Academy, 6-4. Coach Adam
used his pitchers sparingly, 0. John-son
holding the Academy runless
in the two innings he pitched. Mc-
Olash hurled the other five innings
of the seven inning contest.

Lose To Concordia
Playing on a dry fast field for the
first time this season, the Bethel
boys lost a heart-breaker to Con-cordia,
9-7 at the latters home field.
0. Johnson for Bethel pitched a
good game but received rather weak
support. It was the second confer-ence
defeat against three wins.

College Club Features
Musical Program
Two former College students,
Clarence Olson, who is now attend-ing
Hamline University, and Carl
Young, who is attending seminary,
entertained the College Club with
a musical program at its last meet-ing,
May 18. The entertainment con-sisted
of recorded music. Carl
Young entertained with records of
the operatic and symphonic type;
Clarence Olson played recordings of
great pianists.
Gustave Ferre led in devotions.
Following the meeting, refresh-ments
were served in the Coffee
Room Rant
With summer coming on and with
the idea of lasting friendships up-permost
in mind, perhaps it is best
that I do not risk ruining them with
some superfluous ranting. I suppose
that a model love letter would be
more fitting. For instance, the letter
should begin with:
Dear Henry—the first week.
My Dear Henry—the second week.
My Dearest Henry—the third
My Very Dearest Henry—the
fourth week.
Then the writer may start leaving
off the given name, progressing
from just "Dear" to "My Very Dear-est."
From then on it is difficult
for me to say what pet names will
develop. However, it is permissible
in the last letter to begin with
"Mine"—end with "Yours"—that is,
providing neither of you are coming
back to school so that the affair will
not continue.
The next summer, follow the
same procedure excepting, of
course, the name and address.

Bethelites Picnic at
Medicine Lake
On Tuesday morning, May 24, ap-proximately
seventy-five Bethelites
hurried into waiting cars which
took them to Medicine Lake for the
annual all-school picnic. Upon ar-rival
at the grounds, Coach Adam
picked two teams at random to play
scrub kitten-ball.
A hearty meal was provided at
noon by Mrs. Olson and her kitchen
crew, after which two girls' teams
were picked for a kittenball game.
Following the girls' game, there was
a game between the College and
Seminary men, the Seminary men
winning by a score of 6-5. Follow-ing
the evening meal, the group
gathered around a huge bonfire to
roast marshmallows. The group
then went into the meeting hall of
the Mission Farm, and chorus sing-ing
and testimonies by the seniors
of both College and Seminary and
underclassmen, under the direction
of Edward Nelson and Ned Holm-gren,
brought the picnic to a close.

Earlier this week, TransWorld SNOWboarding celebrated the 25th anniversary of the magazine at our SoCal world headquarters. We invited past employees, photographers, riders and brands to celebrate with skateboarding, food, drinks, and a private video screening of Absinthe's Twe12ve and Videograss's Retrospect. A lot has changed in the 25 years since TWSnow was first spawned from the seed of TWSkate, and it's nights like these that remind you that snowboarding was, is, and always will be awesome.
Check the video and these photos to get a true feel for how it all went down. And thank you, dear reader, for your support for these last 25 years.

Ringing in the Season with a Little Bell Ringing for the Salvation Army
Dalton Carpet One Floor & Home in Athens, GA didn't wait for the New Year to start ringing. On December 6th, 19 Dalton Carpet One staff members participated in ringing the bell in front of the Athens mall for the Salvation Army Red Kettle program.
The Red Kettle program is The Salvation Army's most famous street campaign. It is most recognized during the Christmas season through its volunteers who stand outside of businesses and play or sing Christmas carols, or ring bells to inspire passersby to place donations of cash and checks inside the trademark red kettles.

(How can I utilize an IDP in my agency?)
Individual development planning benefits the organization by aligning employee training and development efforts with its mission, goals, and objectives. When using an IDP, supervisors develop a better understanding of their employees' professional goals, strengths, and development needs resulting in more realistic staff and development plans. Employees take personal responsibility and accountability for their career development, acquiring or enhancing the skills they need to stay current in required skills. Some of the benefits of an IDP are:
There are no regulatory requirements mandating employees complete IDPs within the Federal Government. However, it is considered good management practice, and many agencies have developed their own IDP planning process and forms. While there is no one "correct" form for recording an employee's development plan, an effective plan should include at minimum the following key elements:
Federal agencies are required by law (5 U.S.C. Section 3396) to establish programs for the continuining development of Senior Executives. A key tool in this process is the Executive Development Plan (EDP). Please visit our Executive Development wiki page.
How do you go about developing an IDP?
The IDP process requires communication and interaction between the supervisor and employee. It involves five phases:
Supervisors and employees work together to complete the employee's development plan, however, employees are ultimately resposible for taking the initiative for their professional development. Below are examples of activities one may utilize for further development and incorporate into their plan:
(How are other organizations using the IDP?)
Below is a list of agencies that have implemented an IDP program and/or template. There are also several agencies that have individual development planning and career management programs in place. Please not that OPM does not endorse any particular format. The information below is for illustrative purposes.

Lake House Décor
If you're a lake person, you do not want your lake house décor to give off a "beachy" vibe. And while we're very familiar with beach house décor and its nautical style, lake house décor is a much lesser known style of design. In fact, there is little information about how to decorate and design a lake house, so we've put together a simple set of tips to inspire the design of your lake house.
Make it Personal
Who wouldn't love these signs at their lake house?! Decorate yours with these simple wooden signs from Etsy.com or even try to DIY!
Leave Space for Seating
Photos from CoastalLiving.com and
Lake houses are for spending and enjoying time with friends and family. Make sure you have enough seating inside and outside to accommodate everyone.
Stay Away from "Nautical" Colors
Blues and whites will make your lake house look like it belongs at the beach. Try using natural colors and elements like neutral colors and wooden fixtures. Windows overlooking the lake are always a plus, too!
Incorporate Nature
From TheMerryThought.com
What does the lake have that the beach doesn't? Trees! Take advantage of them by hanging a beautiful hammock to relax in by the lake.
Pick Up Your Toys
From HomedIt.com and LakeGirlPaints.BlogSpot.com
From canoes and kayaks to water skis and wakeboards, you always have your toys scattered in the yard! Pick them up and prop them up against trees or your home for a subtle, yet artistic design. If you're advanced, repurpose your old canoes into things like bookshelves or lighting fixtures.
Walk the Walk
From top left clockwise: BHG.com, DecoratingYourSmallSpace.com, FoxHomeDesign.com, and Vickys-Home.BlogSpot.com
Make everything in your home remind you of the lake - even your floors. Include stone floors or gravel walkways in and around your home.

Comic 736: The Joke Is Dead
Sup, bitches? I'm Harrison, and I'll be your guide for the next few days on our fantastic tour of all the different ways in which xkcd is a terrible, terrible comic, and Randall Munroe is history's greatest monster (yes, worse than Jimmy Carter).
First let me wish you all a happy Cinco de Mayo. In honor of the Mexican battle or whatever today commemorates, I will write the remainder of this post entirely in Spanish.
Eso comico es horrible. Primero, no estoy loco. Donde esta la biblioteca? Somos extremos, como la television. Claro que si?
La cucaracha, la cucaracha, para bailar la bamba. Besame mucho. Soy un perdedor.
...Fine, I can't write the post in Spanish. But I totally would if I remembered anything at all from high school, because that's the kind of crazy bastard I am. But this blog isn't about me, it's about the comics, so let's move on to that.
This comic... actually, this comic isn't that terrible. My biggest beef with Randall has always been his inability to stick to a basic setup-punchline structure -- see e.g. his repeated use of PPD and propensity for telegraphing the joke. And to his credit, there's none of that here. The title doesn't describe anything that's not made clear in the panel, and the punchline is safely tucked away underneath, with no extraneous crap afterward. If Randall's stealing from SMBC, it at least seems like he's learning something in the process.
However, like many previous editions of xkcd, and also many cakes, this comic may be amusing and/or delicious-looking at first sight. But if you start to pick at it, it crumbles, and any attempt to repair it causes further crumbling until the comic is no longer funny, and the cake is ruined. (And I'll never have that recipe again....) So let's start picking, 'cause that's what we do.
I'll start with the most obvious flaw: sweet zombie Jesus but how is the subject not up there with airplane food or toilet seats in the pantheon of Cliche Comedy? Over 3000 Google hits for one specific phrasing. (Okay, 3000's not that big, but I gave up a good ten minutes for you trying to find a better search term. That's ten minutes of my life I'll never get back, so shut the fuck up already). Point is, "haha headsets make you look crazy/socially deviant" is not exactly the cutting edge of comedy. Even Randall's done it before, and while I'm not convinced the first time was "good," it at least had the throwaway line "Shit. Does Bernanke own a crossbow?" which is pretty much comedy platinum.
But there's even more wrong in this delicious crumbly cake of suckiness. For instance: Why the hell would using a serifed versus a sans-serif typeface ever be so important? I can only think of one obvious scenario where anyone would care about such trivialities, and am thus forced to conclude that Stick Guy is now playing the part of Don Draper. (Yes, I get that Randall made the conversation about something stupid to add an extra layer of wacky frosting. But it just comes across as forced.) That's not even the only distracting incongruity; in the background, stage left, we see a family reacting in shock and horror to Stick Guy's apparent conversation with the dead. But stage right there's another person, much closer to Stick Guy, who isn't reacting at all. Why isn't he shocked? Did he, too, once kill a man for using Times New Roman over Helvetica? Or does he just see the headset while the family can't? Either way, why the fuck is he in the comic in the first place? His only purpose seems to be to distract the eye and annoy me. Whatever. Fuck that shit. Let's talk art.
I never feel good about criticizing xkcd's art, since I'm pretty sure I would in fact be worse at it than Randall is. So I was happy to see that the art here is pretty adequate. But does the kid in the background have a Sarah Connor moustache? Or is he just pulling his forehead skin over his eyes in shame?

Anon 2:27, that actually makes sense, but I'm not sure how Randall didn't see that that level of detail with his art style is, you know, confusing, and remove it. So it's still a strike against him in my book.ReplyDelete
- jogiffMay 7, 2010 at 3:18 PM
What bugs me is that apparently he's just standing in one place while talking on his headset which completely defeats the purpose of a headset. That's what really bugs me about this comic, it's not BAD, but it is completely humorless (in my opinion) because the situation isn't realistic at all.ReplyDelete
Also, does the new comic look different to anyone else? Is Randall adopting a new style?

Something I'd like to point out is that the joke is about the headset making you look crazy, but what if he didn't have the headset? He'd be arguing loudly on a cellphone while wandering through a cemetery, which STILL makes you look crazy, or just makes you a primo asshole.ReplyDelete
In fact, the cemetery is a bad place to wander around arguing loudly no matter what, whether a cellphone is involved or not.
So the joke isn't "haha, I'm doing something normal but the headset makes me look crazy" so much as "haha, I'm doing something sociopathic but the headset makes me look more sociopathic."
May as well make the punchline "I've discovered the worst place to wander while naked from the waist down."
Isn't loitering around cemeteries a bit rude in the first place? I mean, people have parents and spouses they've lost lying there, and you're treating it like a recreational space.ReplyDelete
@Ayn Rand: look just because you have an unreasonable attachment to what is after all just a collection of carbon-based molecules lying in a wooden box doesn't mean you have to impose your 'social mores' and 'tact' on me and my SCEINCEPALS.ReplyDelete

No, cemeteries are fascinating places to visit recreationally and I don't mean that in an emo or goth way. The writing on the headstones bear historical interest and the design of the headstones along with the layout of the cemetary as a whole has artistic appeal.ReplyDelete
But there do tend to be people mourning or in a pensive mood, so yammering obnoxiously into a phone while you're there is definitely rude.

God, you must be a hit at parties.
Sure Anon. I agree, I love walking around cemeteries for that exact reason myself. But I don't think it applies to absent-mindedly wandering into one while talking on the phone.ReplyDelete
The caption implies that other headset conversations would work to produce a joke in this situation. I doubt this intensely.ReplyDelete
That kid is really bothering me. Why is his left arm longer than his right arm and both of his mother's arms? Why is it coming out of his neck? Why is his mother covering his eyes and not his ears? Does she think that if he can't see he'll forget he's in a cemetery and the conversation will seem normal? Why is his right "hand" on his mother's "hand" on his face? Nothing about that interaction makes sense.ReplyDelete
The only reason I wander in cemetaries is usually because I was there paying respects to a relative and now I'm wandering around. I usually find myself looking at all the soldier graves and trying to find out what branch they were part of based on the symbol on the stones.ReplyDelete

harrison, as a matter of fact, I did wander about cemeteries(two of them, to be more exact), not for fun, but because the tombs look good, they're usually in high places with awesome views, and also very quiet and a nice place to relax if you're in the mood for a very unusual place to relax.ReplyDelete
That said, PROTIP: if you're hanging out in a cemetery, avoid receiving and/or making phone calls, especially in loud voices. It's obvious people will be annoyed, be the conversation "humorously" mistakeable for a dialogue with the dead or not.
Newest comic is bad bad bad. But I'm going to comment on it further later. Quick pointers, though: joke is stupid, art is shoddy, and third panel is a waste. Not only unnecessary, actually a disaster.
Finally... did the post actually end? It looks as if it was going to expand more on the art and reach a conclusion and was accidentally cut off.
Mole out(with a British accent)
Right, the whole font joke could be seen as the guy describing the ordering of a headstone, or something of that nature. Though I got the joke, and found it mildly amusing, it was not great.ReplyDelete
I like the analogy with cakes, because this comic keeps crumbling further and further the more I see it. Hell, if the guy is "WANDERING" around the cemetery talking on the headset, why does the comic visually imply that he's STANDING before the tombstone and apparently talking to it? The visual gag and the textual gag defeat each other; it's a pretty dishonest way of making humour, because just a little tiny bit of fridge logic makes it fall apart miserably.ReplyDelete
Latest comic: what the fuck is that? Is there some obscure subtext I failed to see, or is Randall just really running around going "oh, lol, you know, like, what's really funny? Expiration dates! Because they're, like, um, like, you know, pretty funny, like", trying to conceive a joke out of that and failing all the way to Hell and back?
- harrisonMay 7, 2010 at 9:42 PM
Nah, that's the end of the post, I sorta ran out of steam I guess?
Fernie, I'm pretty sure there's no obscure subtext, it really is the comic equivalent of the Challenger explosion. (Only hopefully there will be fewer deaths.) I do think I might know where the idea for the comic comes from, though, and there's a good story there, which you'll all get to read when I finish my post.
- AnonymousMay 8, 2010 at 1:35 AM
The new comic...what?! The guys flip flop completely on their sides of the expiration date argument. The guy who is at first obviously appalled by the state of the yogurt tries to argue for keeping it at the end. And the other guy is swayed from "it's fine" to "okay, throw it out" by this infinitively persuasive dialogue:ReplyDelete
"I'm not sure. When it was packaged, was civilization using the Gregorian or Julian calendar?"
BAM! fucking ZING! Wait, no, definitely no.
Not to mention he draws a stickman with an arm attached to his cheek, which is the only explanation I can give for the stickman's horrible disfigurement as a result of Randall going out of his way to make sure his stick figure is decapitated, since actually connecting that arm to its shoulder would destroy the gruesome separation. Oh, and DAMN. That is some LONG stickman legs.
- Tollens TestMay 8, 2010 at 1:37 AM
I actually really liked the new yogurt one. Randall is trying for a pretty radical new style, and for once he serves up some original, laugh-out-loud humor which is pretty refreshing to see on XKCDReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 8, 2010 at 3:07 AM
Why is the yogurt-holder asking about the calendar used at the time of packaging when the setup revolves around the fact that they don't know when it was packaged (other than the month which can be written off as useless)?ReplyDelete
Man 1: Look, I found this knife with my metal detector, but I've no idea when it was made.
Man 2: Cool.
Man 1: When it was made, did women have the vote?
Man 2: What the fuck? I don't know. You just said you don't know either. Get the fuck out of my house you weirdo!
Is he being sarcastic in an attempt to point out how ancient the yogurt is? If so, why then do a complete 180 seconds later and declare that it could still be edible?
And the fact that the comic stinks enough to make the yogurt-holder exclaim "Oh my god how old is this LOL?" writes off the possibility of it being good in the very first line of the comic. If the yoghurt looked and smelled normal but had no concrete expiration date there would be more of a 'mystery' as to whether or not it was edible and make the nerd-like arguing justified.
Are they meant to be autistic? Does the fact that the yoghurt may not necessarily have expired date-wise despite physical evidence of its expiration lead them to believe there is still a chance it doesn't taste like ass-cheese? Are nerds supposed to be proud of this type of pedantry?
This one is incomprehensible at best.

Yeah, my first read was that in the last panel, the guy who didn't want to throw it out was being tetchy and the guy who did want to throw it out was being sarcastic. It's the most straightforward way to read an argument between two douchebags over something inconsequential, I think.ReplyDelete
Not that it makes the comic any funnier.
- AnonymousMay 8, 2010 at 1:14 PM
I detected the sarcasm in the last yogurt panel but it is still poorly conveyed. Part of the problem is that he didn't do a good job with the italics in "Okay, I'll throw it out." so it reads less like "Fine, I'll get rid of it! Sheesh!" and more like "That statement has convinced me."ReplyDelete

SBMC is stealing from randall too, i think.
Wow, this really exists? Can we say... get a life? You either like the comic or you don't. Move on.ReplyDelete
But I suppose the saying does go... haters want to hate.
What? No, this doesn't exist. What are you talking about? why would you even ask that?ReplyDelete
and also, come on, "you either like the comic or you don't"? what kind of false choice is that? What if you like it a little bit, or hate it a huge amount?
and try replacing "the comic" with something you actually care about:
"Can we say...get a life? You either like the fact that Firefly was canceled, or you don't. Move on."
I figured out my problem with this one: it's entirely dependent on Randall's faceless characters. If the headset guy were drawn with a face, he'd either have to be seen looking at the grave, which would give the visual indicator that yes, he IS yelling at it, or looking another direction (perhaps up and right), indicating that his mind is clearly on the conversation at hand. Randall's faceless characters, however, make it so that both interpretations are possible, which is the only way the joke can work.ReplyDelete

Parking garage being explored for Fort Trumbull in New London
New London - The city and the Renaissance City Development Association are continuing to explore the construction of a parking garage in the Fort Trumbull neighborhood to accommodate the parking needs of Electric Boat and future development on the peninsula.
Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, which is retrofitting a building on nearby Howard Street for medical offices, is also interested in parking in that area of the city.
"It's in the preliminary stages," Michael Joplin, a member of the RCDA, said Friday. "But everyone now is beginning to understand, yes, we have a parking problem, and a garage is the way out of it."
Electric Boat, the city and the RCDA are discussing how to provide more parking for the roughly 3,000 people who work daily at the Electric Boat facility on Pequot Avenue, he said.
The site being looked at in Fort Trumbull is on ledge and runs along the railroad tracks, Joplin said. The garage would be a public facility. The state Department of Economic and Community Development is also in on discussions, Joplin said, in an effort to help the city find federal and state grants to fund the project.
Parking garages cost about $18,000 to $20,000 per space to build. A 500-space garage would cost around $10 million, Joplin said.
EB has needed more parking than what is available in its own parking garage on Pequot Avenue ever since moving into the former Pfizer Global Research and Development Headquarters in 2010. Each day hundreds of EB workers park along Pequot Avenue and on streets in Fort Trumbull. Others are bused from the Groton facility to New London. Electric Boat needs between 400 and 650 more spaces for its workers, Joplin said.
But Robert Hamilton, spokesman for EB, said the company provides enough parking for its employees.
"We don't need any more spaces," he said. "It's a matter of where people choose to park."
Joplin also said Electric Boat is looking at the possibility of building a garage on its property at the rotary on Pequot Avenue, which is the site of Pfizer's former visitors center. But Joplin said the site may not be large enough.
In response, Hamilton said the company does not comment on speculation.
The RCDA board was briefed Friday morning on the status of the project.
"We're trying to explore options for a structured parking garage to alleviate parking problems," President Linda Mariani said after the meeting.
Tammy Daugherty, the city's director of economic development, said no decision has been made as to where a garage would be located, how big it would be, and how it would be operated. Funding also has to be discussed, she said.
"The city would be interested in having a parking garage that would be an enhancement to further development in Fort Trumbull," she said.
A proposal for Village on Thames, a three-phase, 103-unit housing development in Fort Trumbull, has been stalled since last spring. The RCDA and developers Robert and Irwin Stillman are in contract mediation about the project.
Joplin said another meeting with EB will take place in December. He hopes to give the RCDA and the city a more detailed report in January about costs and funding possibilities.
Last summer the RCDA was looking at allowing EB to temporarily park about 100 cars on Parcel 4a in Fort Trumbull. That plan never materialized.
Parcel 4a was the subject of an eminent domain lawsuit that brought notoriety to the city. Two families that owned land in Parcel 4a were displaced when the city took the land by eminent domain. Susette Kelo, one of the property owners, was the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit that argued that it was unconstitutional to take private property for future economic development. The appeals went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in a 5-4 decision in 2005 in favor of the city and against the property owners.

California-based uSamp is offering platform integration connections to its SDK for mobile app developers. The firm offers a set of "mobile insights features" for apps so that users have the option to participate in mobile "missions" (basically, user engagement exercises) or surveys in exchange for rewards.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>

- How Enterprises Are Attacking the Cybersecurity Problem
WebcastsMore >>
NOTE: In addition to standard survey questions, the SDK enables app users to capture photos, shoot videos, record audio and scan barcodes as part of these so-called missions.
The solution brings access to a library of mobile survey missions. These mobile missions offer rewards and are typically shorter in duration than traditional online surveys.
Developers can create demographic and usability profiles that may help them enhance their own app, while also negotiating better cost per impressions (CPMs) from display advertisers. By integrating the SDK, app developers will make money each time one of their app users completes a mobile mission or survey that they qualify for.
"[We have] spent years developing technology to help companies reach their key audiences and customers," said Gregg Lavin of uSamp. "This is an exciting step toward our goal of providing mobile developers and advertisers with the most comprehensive tool set in the market to better understand and engage loyal mobile users."

That being said…we know our grills are not for everyone — and that's ok.
If a high quality, super grill seems ridiculous to you...there are many.. much more "main stream" glazed-pot kamados on the market.
Some people claim Komodo's costly features and components are outright lavish and extravagant... and they're right.
Does a grill really need high-tech insulation or CNC laser cut components? Absolutely not.
On the other hand, if you value overkill and unsurpassed performance….

We are building grills for you.
You're going to love… pulling the latch trigger and watching the massive lid open unassisted, and then closing with just a tug of your finger.
You're going to love feeling the heft.. of the 3/8" stainless steel grates.

If you have not clicked away by now and are still here ... you are probably the person I have in mind when I build these grills.
So… does a Komodo Kamado Grill sound great?
Give us a call…you won't get a call center. You'll get me..
Let's discuss how I can help you get cooking on one of my masterpieces.
Komodo Kamado grills are warehoused in and drop shipped from Carson California. We get great rates for residential lift gate deliveries.
A 23' box truck with a lift gate shows up at your residence, the driver will use a pallet jack to roll th create where you want it. He will not be able to go up or down stairs, over dirt or grass nor will he uncrate grills. The grill comes fully assembled. Un-crating: Removing two bolts from the bottom of each post lets you easily lift the crate up and over the top of the pallet. Removing the drywall screws from the top of the crate lets you use this piece of wood as the ramp to get the grill off the palette.
Komodo Kamado ships to pretty much every corner of the world. We generally pick up most or all of the sea freight to main ports. Once there you will be responsible for local custom clearance as well as transportation from the port to your residence. Please contact us for more information.

Orioles vs. Blue Jays 6/3/11 (J.P. Arencibia Grand Slam)
The beginning to this day was quite uneventful. While that did turn around quickly by mid-game, here's the rundown.
BP. 0 during Orioles portion. Went over to the Blue Jays pitchers warming up and whoever was playing catch with Octavio Dotel (I don't remember who, but here's Octavio):
overthrew a ball into the seats. I got it off a bounce, Octavio asked for it back and said he'd give it to me when they were done. Either way, that counted towards my statline, so I was satisfied that I wouldn't be shut out. Then, a Blue Jays hitter shot a ball down the foul line, which Dotel picked up, tossed to me, then muttered "now I don't owe you."
What did this mean for me? Ball number two. See, had he not done that and in the end just chucked me his warmup ball, it would have counted as one considering it was the same ball. BUT, being a loophole of sorts, since the ball he tossed me was unrelated to the other one, it could count as ball number two on the day.
I went back to LF for most of Jays BP. Jose Bautista launched a bunch, but I got none of them. I did, however, snag 2 on the fly, both impressively. One was a jump right behind Ben and Matt, the other was a snag on the move. I don't know either hitter.
Here are some shots of Jays BP:
That last one, of Correeeeeyyyyy Patterson, shows him standing around. Why is this interesting? For one, I love Corey. For two (for two???), he wasn't wearing high socks. I shouted to him asking where they were, he turned and said something back while also signaling an odd revolution of his hands or something. No idea what he said. Maybe that he'd put them on tomorrow, or before the game, or that he built a time machine. I have no idea.
Fast forward to pre-game stretching. Mike McCoy and Eric Thames came over to talk to some people they knew:
And I got McCoy on my ticket (pictured later) and Thames on a ball (and also a ticket):
Turns out Thames was sent back to the minor leagues after the game. He was a rookie I found out, so figured I'd get him to sign a ball, and if he ever pans out, maybe it'll be cool to have. Who knows.
Kyle Drabek quickly came out to talk to someone, so I snagged his autograph as well, specially requesting that he write his number with it (something he generally wasn't doing while signing). Why? He's #4, the only single digit pitcher in baseball. Read more here.
And here's a picture of the ticket, with the 3 guys:
My 3 baseballs on the day (#3 of 4 was the one I gave back but still count on stats):
And then the game started. They did Oh Canada with the Star Spangled Banner:
I wasted two innings randomly around the Jays dugout:
And finally wandered out to left field to chillax with my peeps. Peeps being Matt Gardner (and yes, I will always refer to him with his last name since whenever I just say Matt, it refers to the older Matt, who you can read about here), his friend Josh Hamilton (of the Texas Rangers), and Todd.
Let's just say this. The Orioles may have lost this game 8-4, but Avi didn't lose completely.
When J.P. Arencibia, Blue Jays rookie catcher, stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and two out in the 5th inning, I turned to Matt G and said how I would wanna catch a rookie grand slam. Jokingly, people! I love the Orioles, okay?!
But what happened next?
That's right. Arencibia smacked a shot to my section, just a chunk of seats down from me. Funny thing is, and if you watch the video you'll see how it is I react, but I didn't see it coming until its flight down (was probably preoccupied talking or something), so I jumped up and ran over, avoiding two dudes. I got to the spot, it bobbled off of two other people and right into my glove. I closed it, held with two hands, and got out of the mess of drunk people. That's how I remember it. But yeah, watch the clip to see.
Here are some screenshots:
Me moving into action:
Me realizing I had the ball:
Me coming out of the pile with the ball in glove:
The people labeled there, for fun, are 1) Todd 2) Matt G's friend 3) Matt G 4) Tim 5) Matt Arrow) Me.
Me coming away with it:
Then Tim came over a few rows down and tossed me a ball to throw back, mainly to shut up all the shouting fans taunting me. So I threw it back. Let's just say the ball had some obnoxious stuff drawn on it, and when Adam Jones picked it up in CF, he cracked up and gave us a thumbs up, and kept laughing as he threw it in. We also got later word from a friend that he saw guys in the Jays dugout laughing at a baseball. Funny.
I got a tweet last night from a guy named Kyle (give him a follow on Twitter: @kyle_mace) who I met twice before at games, and he had pictures of me throwing the ball back. Let's see those!
Me stretching back to throw:
Right after the throw. Can you spot the ball?
No? Here's a close-up:
Even more:
And all the drunk people around me celebrating even though they saw the ball switch:
Here's the ball in all its glory:
Turns out Arencibia wants the ball (Matt talked to him postgame by the dugout, where I stupidly was NOT). So I'm hoping tomorrow to meet up with him and get it to him. Will I get something in return? I may ask, may not. Not worried about it. I think it'll be cool to just do that, get the ball back to him, and hopefully get a picture with him. I'd be satisfied even with that.
After the game, though, Matt G was kind enough to take a picture of me with the ball (Akron soccer represent!):
And then I chilled by the players lot with Donna and peeps and headed back to mi casa (or however you say my apartment in Spanish). Now, as I'm writing this, I'm about to head out to the next game of this series. Will update when I get back as to how the whole ball to Arencibia thing went. I have been in contact with him this morning, so we shall see!
In the mean time, here's random stuff about the grand slam that I thought I'd share:
It's my 4th career game home run snag and 1st grand slam.
Here are some tweets about it:
And links to stuff:
J.P. Arencibia's postgame interview here.
I don't know what else I had in mind to put in this section when I wrote that, so for now, it's just that link.

Photos: How to brew the White House ale
The making of the president's honey ale.
The president's beer recipe is going around, so we decided to try it.
Steeping whole-grain biscuit and amber malt in a mesh bag to add color.
Straining the sack of grain.
Warming the malt extract.
Javier Torre adds dried malt extract.
Hops, a flavoring and bittering agent, is added to the boiling pot.
Pouring in the honey.
After chilling the mixture, now called the "wort," the mixture is transferred to the fermenter (a big glass jug) and then the yeast is added.
It's time to taste an earlier-made batch of the president's honey ale. While a little dry, the beer has a satisfying flavor.
