Bethel Placement Office
To Help Seniors Find Jobs
The purpose of the newly opened Placement Office at Bethel
College is to help seniors find permanent positions upon gradu-ation.
This service has been expanded from that offered prospective
teachers to include all seniors.
The Placement Office has more job information at its dis-posal
than students are aware of, a better idea of positions avail-able,
and specific names and addresses of people in companies and
Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, Honeywell, General Mills,
and others have on their staffs college recruiters who visit various
campuses and interview and hire qualified students.
Betty Hardle, in charge of the Placement Service, can arrange
interviews for interested students. Interviews may be obtained for
work in science, industry, education, business, welfare, government,
and many other fields.
The office has, among its resources, the College Placement Annual,
The book consists of three sections, the first containing an alphabetical
list of all companies and agencies in the United States and Canada which
employ, domestically or overseas, college graduates.
In the second section, jobs are listed alphabetically with company
names and addresses. The third is an alphabetical listing of jobs and
companies by location.
To be effective, the Placement Office must know what the students
want. Seniors are asked to fill out and return a two-part form.
Students wanting recommendations from faculty members fill out
the first part. The recommendations, when written, will be filed and
made available upon request.
Faculty members might hesitate to write a recommendation for a
student they haven't seen recently, so students are urged to have
recommendations on file whether or not they need them immediately.
The second part of the form asks if the senior wants the Placement
Office to help him find a job, and if so, what kind. Students gradu-ating
and entering the armed services might find the Placement Office
useful at a future time.
Psychology Students Participate
In Hastings Visitation Programs
Registration For
Next Semester
Begins Monday
Second semester registration will
begin Monday, January 10 and will
continue through Friday, January
14. Seniors and special students
will register on Monday, juniors on
Tuesday, and sophomores on Wed-nesday.
Upper classmen with last names
beginning with letters A-K will
register in the morning from 8:30-
12:00 and those last names in
the L-Z group will register from
1:00-4:00 in the afternoon.
Freshmen will register in four
groups. On Thursday morning
those frosh with last names in
the A-D group will register and
those in the E-L group are asked
to register the afternoon of the
same day.
On Friday morning the M-Q
frosh group will be taken care of
and those remaining in the R-Z
group will complete registration
on Friday afternoon.
As a special feature for the
freshman, class cards for Survey
of Biology, Freshman Composition,
and Western Civilization will be
distributed in the section groups
prior to registration.
This is being done in order to
give those frosh wishing to re-main
in the section they were
enrolled in first semester prior-ity.
Classes will be in session as
usual during registration so in
order to relieve congestion as in
previous years, students are asked
to arrange their own schedule time

Twenty-two Bethel psychology
students recently set aside their
textbooks of theory to participate
in weekend visitation programs at
Hastings State Hospital.
The three weekend visits were
arranged through the American
Friends Service Committee (AFSC)
during November and December.
The AFSC is an expression of
Quaker action to provide avenues
through which concerned individu-als
c a n relate constructively to
social problems.
The purpose of this program
is not merely to provide oppor-tunity
for detached analysis and
observation but rather opportu-nity
to serve.
The student volunteer's purpose
is twofold: first, to bring mental
patients into closer contact with
the outside world; secondly, to in-terpret
to the community the needs
of a mental hospital and his ex-perience
in it.
Hastings State Hospital serves a
three county area and has a present
population of 590 patients. For rea-sons
not completely understood
this is a marked decline from 1100
patients in 1955.
There are twice as many women
patients as men although the
average length of stay of women
is only 3 months compared to
10 months for the men.
Two hundred of the patients
have no family ties whatever. The
number one problem among the
patients is schizophrenia, number
two being depression.
The hospital is severely under-staffed
which makes it impossible
to devote the needed personal at-tention
to each patient. About 35
patients per month receive indi-vidual
therapy and a much larger
number receive group therapy.
With such an acute hospital
staff deficiency, volunteer work-ers
can make a significant con-tribution
through personal inter-action
with the patients.
The experiences of the volun-teers
were as varied as the patients
they met. Initial anxiety quickly
dissipated after a few minutes of
interaction with the patients. Pri-marily
the students encouraged the
patients to concentrate on reality.
One of t h e central problems
throughout the hospital was a lack
of communication between the pa-tients.
With little or no conscious-ness
of others around them, many
patients seemed to have turned
their thoughts inward to be caught
up in the vicious cycle of self-preoccupation.
By the slow and often faltering
process of building bridges of
love and understanding toward
the patients, the students helped
to break down some of the walls
of isolation and restore a cer-cont'd

Mrs. Hardle hopes to compile a
booklet for Bethel job-hunters, tel-ling
where to look for jobs, how
to write letters of application, and
what to say in an interview.
She says of her work in the
Placement Office, "I really enjoy
this job because it gives me the
opportunity to place people who
are likely to be dedicated Chris-tian
laymen in significant posi-tions
in the secular world of
business, industry, and educa-tion."
In previous years only prospec-tive
teachers have had such ser-vice.
This was due to a combina-tion
of little interest on the stu-dents'
part and lack of time on
the part of the faculty members.
Until recently, a faculty member
did placement in addition to his
other duties. Now placement is
done exclusively by the student
employment section of the Student
Services Office.
Non-teachers will be given equal
opportunity to obtain counseling.
The Placement Office has a file
of fellowships, assistantships, and
scholarships available to students
interested in post-graduate studies.

Semester's End Pressure
As Source of Creativity
One recent Bethel graduate once described the College
to a chapel audience as a place where he felt safe to make a
mistake. The thought re-occurs on returning to the campus
for perhaps the most difficult month of the year.
Bethel is no Christian utopia. Like any other social group
it is composed of human beings who place their own interests
above those of the community. This becomes particularly ap-parent
under various end-of-the-term pressures.
You see the human side of the campus when your room-mate
is tired and irritable, professors chafe under absolute
deadlines, or you find yourself losing that special grace with
that special someone.
This is, perhaps, precisely the time to quietly assess not
only our personal spiritual fortitude, but our role in the complex
Christian collectivity that is Bethel.
In less pressured times we simply define Bethel as a college
where Christian faith is "considered relevant to all areas of
human knowledge and it constitutes the integrating principle
for the entire college program."
Theoretically, the essence of the thought here should
reach new creative dimensions during the period in which
we attempt to precipitate and crystallize the learning experi-ences
of the last several months.
Creativity comes out of crisis. And, in fact, the applica-tion
of the above principle in daily creative acts is our sole
rationale for being here, as scholars and as Christians.
But these very collective experiences in crisis may also
lead to a subtle self regard. The self tends to romanticize the
whole concept of the exam period, rather than approach the
work systematically and diligently.
More than ever at this time, knowledge belongs to those
who "read, mull, argue, doubt, search, formulate, and con-tend."
In this sense, creativity on the Christian campus is
not exciting, romantic, or dramatic. Rather, the spark of
creativity is given to the devoted—who may also be the
weary, persistent, fatigued and frustrated.
Paradoxically, the same self regard which limits our am-bitions
in favor of visionary goals unconsciously rationalizes
our withdrawal from communal responsibilities. Here the
chances for error multiply and the widest tolerance in adminis-tration
policy is appreciated.
Perhaps our prayer and practice ought simply to be for
the best use of our time in these few days of potential extra-ordinary
sensitivity and creativity.

The declaration is summed up in this paragraph: freedom of religion for all men.
In its emphasis on freedom in
education the Council advocates a
position that leaves the door open
for public tax aid to parochial
schools. The declaration fails to
take into account adequately the
rights of children and could be
interpreted to hit at public schools
as well as education in totalitarian
societies. It said:
"The rights of parents are vio-lated
if their children are forced
to attend lessons or instruction
which are not in agreement with
their religious beliefs, or if a
single system of education, from
which all religious information is
excluded is imposed upon all."
The neutrality and incompeten-cy
of government in religious
matters is overlooked by the
Council in this statement: "Gov-ernment,
therefore, ought indeed
to take account of the religious
life of the citizenry and show
it favor, since the function of
government is to make provision
for the common good."
The limitations of freedom sug-gested
by the Council could result
in the restriction of religious liber-ty
under certain circumstances. The
limitations of freedom are to be
imposed when the common welfare,
the public peace and the public
morality are endangered.

of the Vatican Council on the Bap-tist

a Sunday night service to seriously
consider identifying with a church.
However, there still remains the
need to have an on-campus ser-vice.
This is necessary due to:
the transportation problems some
students experience; the time ele-ment;
the fact that many stu-dents
reportedly find it neces-sary
to study on Sunday night
and; the feeling that the local
church often does not meet the
needs of some students.
After its initiation of the pro-posal
for vespers, the Religious
Committee has received encourage-ment
from students, the Student
Senate, and the administration, as
well as approval from several pas-tors.
With this incentive, the com-mittee
has decided to have three
trial Sundays; February 13, 20,
and 27.
It is hoped that the planning
will be done by seven students,
five of which will be non-members
of the Religious Committee. The
success of the planning committee
depends largely on the degree stu-dents
voice their desires for the
type of programs which bring them
the most spiritual meaning. This
may be done by inserting sugges-tions

Beyond Belief: The Politics of Religious Freedom
In recent years, policymakers in Europe and North America have rallied around the notion that religious freedom, interfaith dialogue, religious tolerance, and protections for religious minorities are the keys to combating persecution and discrimination. Northwestern University's Elizabeth Shakman Hurd doesn't think so. A recipient of a Buffett "Big Ideas" grant, Hurd argues in "Beyond Religious Freedom" that the powerful global networks that seek to regulate and moderate religion create the very social tensions and divisions they mean to overcome.

Robert Reich: Morality & the Common Good Must Be at Center of Fighting Trump
As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump made a promise to the American people: There would be no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Well, the promise has not been kept. Under his new budget, President Trump proposes a massive increase in Pentagon spending while cutting funding for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Trump's budget would also slash or completely eliminate core anti-poverty programs that form the heart of the U.S. social safety net, from childhood nutrition to care for the elderly and job training. This comes after President Trump and Republican lawmakers pushed through a $1.5 trillion tax cut that overwhelmingly favors the richest Americans, including President Trump and his own family. We speak to Robert Reich, who served as labor secretary under President Bill Clinton. He is now a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. His most recent book, out today, is titled "The Common Good."
Beverly Daniel Tatum
"An unusually sensitive work about the racial barriers that still divide us in so many areas of life." — Jonathan Kozol
Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is self-segregation a coping strategy or a problem? Twenty years ago, in Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, brought a complicated argument to the table: an appreciation of racial identity formation as essential to any potential communication across racial and ethnic differences. With a completely revised edition, Tatum joins us to discuss why we're apart when we're together.

Installing colored cabinet hardware into kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and even hallway closets is an easy and affordable way to dress up your cabinetry. Much like colored jewels add charisma to any outfit, colored cabinet hardware adds personality to any space. From sapphire blue handles to ruby red knobs, colored cabinet hardware makes a magnificent style statement without leaving you in the red.
Blue Knobs, Red Knobs & More Colored Cabinet Knobs
Whether you call them pulls or handles, colored cabinet pulls are a striking way to integrate an obvious color scheme into any space. Blue handles are extremely popular in boys' bedrooms and other spaces that can combine the beauty of blue pulls with blue carpeting or other colorful decorations. In contrast, red handles are often used to create drama in a room much like red lipstick is used to create a dramatic look on one's face. Red pulls look stunning against white cabinets or light wood cabinets and are ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms with a retro theme or those that are decorated with other flashy colors. Other colored cabinet handles such as green, pink and purple, can also add whimsy to any space by contrasting the design or complementing the sheets, curtains or furniture in the room.
Colored knobs are also a way to add pizzazz to a space without overpowering it. Create a patriotic motif by mixing blue knobs, red knobs and white knobs. Choose themed colored cabinet knobs such as animal knobs, vegetable knobs or sports inspired knobs for a fun and interesting addition to any room. Create a luxurious jewel-toned effect by mixing blue knobs, red knobs and hunter green knobs. Even choosing monochromatic colored knobs can add a rich look to any space. Enjoy the rainbow that colored cabinet hardware introduces to any space- you'll be glad you did.

Mystic neighbors point to officials' inaction, threat posed by boat in river
Mystic - Residents of Jerome Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood are calling on town officials to remove a partially sinking 45-foot boat from the Mystic River because they say it would pose a threat to their properties and several nearby marinas in the event of a storm.
The group, which has collected about 30 signatures on a petition calling for the boat's removal, is expected to address the Mystic River Harbor Management Commission when it meets at 7:30 tonight at the Fourth District Voting Hall.
"Should we have a substantial storm, and I remind you that we have had our first hurricane already; this boat could easily be pushed up on to any of the waterfront neighbor's property causing substantial property damage. And/or it could be blown up into one of the many area marinas causing substantial damage to area docks and the boats tied up in theses marinas," wrote Jerome Avenue resident George Dunnington in a July 23 letter to the commission. "The Town appears to me to be negligent and irresponsible by not taking immediate action to protect its harbors, precious natural resources and the property of its tax payers living in the area."
Harbormaster Paul Watts said Wednesday that boat owner Jim Murphy of Stonington must remove the boat, as it is sitting in the mud and not on a legal mooring.
"He has to refloat the boat and get it in (a) slip and off the mud flats," he said. "We're working with the town attorney and police to start legal action."
Murphy bought the boat last month and moved it to a location about 100 yards off Jerome Avenue. There, it sat next to a mooring assigned to a Jerome Avenue resident who was unable to use it. The boat began to take on water and sunk into the shallow river bottom.
After being contacted by the mooring owner, Murphy said Wednesday that on Sunday, he pumped out the water, replaced some plugs in the hull and towed it out into deeper water, where it now sits anchored about 250 yards offshore. Murphy said it is still listing because of water in one compartment, but he is working to remove that. Murphy disputed the commission's contention that it is a derelict vessel.
The commission said at its July 3 meeting that the steel boat had been moved from a legal to an illegal mooring and is now listing in the mud flats, according to the meeting minutes. Murphy said Wednesday that he has been trying to obtain a mooring from the harbor commission for about a decade and is under the impression he is entitled to one because he owns an undeveloped piece of waterfront property on nearby Roseleah Drive. Watts said that while it is true that property owners get moorings in front of their homes, the water in front of Murphy's is a shallow marsh, which means the boat would run aground.
Murphy said he is again submitting an application for a mooring this week to Watts. Murphy said if he is granted a mooring, the problem will be solved. Seventy-five people are on the waiting list. In his letter to the harbor commission, Dunnington asked why the commission cannot use stipulations in the harbor management plan and state law to "respond to this obvious and substantial violation."
"This large steel boat is anchored on top of a mooring properly designated by our Harbormaster. My neighbor cannot use his mooring. Should not this fact alone make it necessary for the Town to take immediate action and remove this illegally anchored boat?" he wrote.
Dunnington said state law also gives Watts the authority to remove the boat at Murphy's cost and fine him. He pointed out state law also allows police to remove the vessel and sell it at an auction.
He said the commission is reluctant to remove the vessel because members are concerned Murphy would not be able to pay for the cost or the fines. But Dunnington said that should not be a factor in deciding to remove the boat, as it could cause widespread damage to the marinas located just a few hundred yards from its present location.
Watts said the harbormaster boat is not powerful enough to tow Murphy's large boat, and a marine contractor would have to be hired, which would be expensive.
"This is a nuisance. I don't want it to get worse. We're doing everything we can. If he would be willing to work with us, that would be great," Watts said of Murphy.
On Tuesday, Dunnington pointed out where other boats have been abandoned in the river, including one behind the former Mystic Color Lab property.
"We do not want people to think they can just dump boats in the Town waters because nothing happens to them as they know it is much, much cheaper than disposing of them in a legal manner," he wrote in his letter to the commission.

Business Electricity Rates from Mabank to Mustang
Commercial electricity providers give you control over your business energy
Consider the many benefits of switching to a retail electricity provider for your business electricity service. Thanks to the deregulated energy market in Texas, you and your business are no longer required to purchase electricity and natural gas from a designated utility provider. Instead, you're given the freedom to choose from different commercial electricity providers in your area who offer you a variety of billing options for your business energy. With this power to choose your business electricity service, you'll have the chance to save money on your monthly energy bills. Choosing service from a commercial electricity provider could be one of the best decisions you make for your business.
Commercial electricity providers offer competitive business electricity rates and green business energy options from Mabank to Mustang. Learn more about what business electricity providers can do for you by clicking on your home city or town from the list below.

Help protect the environment with green business energy options from business electricity providers
One of the benefits of energy deregulation in Texas is that business electricity providers offer residential and commercial customers opportunities to contribute to the improvement of the environment. If environmental responsibility is part of your business model, consider green business energy options from commercial electricity providers. With green business energy options, you can make use of business electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydro. These sources serve as clean alternatives to business energy solutions that use non-renewable sources like coal and oil to generate business electricity.
When choosing your business electricity provider, it's important to compare not only business electricity rates, but also green business energy plans among providers. Many commercial electricity providers give you the chance to offset the negative effects of your business energy consumption by injecting clean energy into the electricity grid that powers your company's building. Take advantage of these environmentally friendly business energy solutions by learning more about the green energy options from business electricity providers in your area.
Competitive Business Electricity Rates in Texas
In deregulated areas of Texas, business electricity providers offer a variety of commercial electricity rate plan options for your business energy solutions. Some of the commercial electricity rate options include:
- Fixed-Rate Plans: Many commercial electricity providers present you with the payment option of a fixed-rate plan. With this plan, you can stabilize your business electricity rates, so that the amount you pay per unit of electricity won't change each month. Your commercial electricity rates will remain the same for the duration of your contract.
- Variable Rate Plans:Texas businesses can choose a variable rate plan if they don't want to sign a contract. Under this plan, your business electricity rates are subject to change according to the energy market. Because no contract is involved, you have more freedom to shop around the commercial electricity market for business energy solutions.
- Indexed Rate Plans:Commercial electricity providers use formulas based on different factors in the energy market to establish indexed rates for businesses. Under some indexed rate plans, your business electricity rates change from month to month, while other plans lock in your rates for a designated period of time.

Hi, I'm Lynne from Lily's Quilts and Fat Quarterly and I am going to show you how to make an improv quilt using Malka Dubrawsky's wonderful A Stitch in Color line. The great thing about making an improv quilt is that, although you are following a pattern, no two quilts will be the same and you can adapt and change your quilt as you go. If you do make a Rough and Tumble quilt from this tutorial, I would love you to post a picture of it in my Flickr group.
One A Stitch in Color Layer Cake
Half yards of each of the bright A Stitch in Color semi solids (blue, green, red, orange, yellow)
and 2 yards of the grey A Stitch in Color semi solid.
Plus 5 yards for backing.
Making the strips of wonky LCSs
1. Divide the layer cake into 5 piles of 8 slices, mixing up patterns and colours. Put the two spare slices to one side.
2. Place two layer cake slices (LCS) on the cutting mat, aligned with the lines on the mat overlapping by 3″ and both right sides up.
3. Slice at a randomly chosen angle making sure that both ends of the cut remain within the 3″ overlap.
Retain any wedges cut off the LCSs wider than about 1″ to be used for little pops of colour in the framing and sashing.
4. Flip one LCS on top of the other, aligning the cut lines so that the ends meet 1/4″ in from the edge. Sew using a 1/4″ seam. Press open or to one side.
5. Take that section and place it back on the cutting mat, again aligned with the lines on the mat and place a third LCS on top, this time with an overlap of 2″. Again make a random wonky cut within the area of the overlap. Flip the new LCS and sew to the original section. Press open or to one side, as desired.
6. Continue adding LCSs to the wonky strip, sometimes using a 1″, 2″, 3″ overlap or occasionally sometimes a 4″ overlap to give a variety of angles. Sometimes cut top left to bottom right and sometimes top right to bottom left, sometimes at a more severe angle and sometimes at a gentler angle or even absolutely vertical. Sometimes leave a wider piece of LCS and sometimes leave a narrower piece.
TOP TIP: avoid alternating the slant of the angles each time. This will prevent your quilt from looking too much like a tumbler quilt. I love tumbler quilts but that is not what we are aiming for here.
7. Once pressed, the tops and bottoms of the LCSs should align in a straight line. Don't worry if this is not absolutely bang on as we will be trimming the top and bottom lines of this section before the next stage.
8. The finished strip should end up something around 50-55″ give or take an inch or two. If it ends up way longer than this, we can trim to size at step 12. If it ends up way shorter, add one of the spare layer cake slices to the end but cut wider LCSs on the next one as you only have two spare.
9. Make five of these strips.
Adding the colour frames
10. Decide which of your five strips will be framed by each of the five semi solid colour frames. Cut each semi solid into four 4 1/2″ WOF strips.
11. Read to the end of this instruction before cutting 10″ strips. Cut two 10″ strips from these WOF strips, one for each end of the LCS strips. If you fancy inserting a pop of colour into one or both of these strips, follow the method at step 20, making sure to cut the strip of coloured fabric 11″-12″ rather than 10″ to compensate for length lost in the seams and to give a bit of waggle room. Once the pop of colour has been inserted, trim to 10″.
12. If your LCS strips are much longer than 55″, trim them down to about 50″-55″. Align each of the 10″ frame end pieces with the ends of the LCS strips, overlapping by 2″ and make a random wonky cut so that they are attached to the original LCS strips in the same way as each LCS was (see the yellow ends on the strip below). Sew the 10″ pieces onto the ends of the LCS strips. Press seams open or to one side, as desired.
13. Now give the strip a wonky trim. Firstly fold the strip in four and cut a straight line along one edge to tidy up that edge if the LCS edges are not all perfectly aligned.
15. Bring up to the cutting mat and cut along the marked line, from pencil mark to pencil mark to end up with a long wonky strip. Retain any parts of the off-cut strip wider than 1″ for pops of colour and the scrappy binding.
16. Sew the remaining three semi solid WOF strips together into one long strip. Use this strip to sash the top then the bottom of the LCS strip. If you wish to insert a pop of colour anywhere within any of these strips, follow the method at step 20. Again, press seams open or to one side, as desired.
17. Now give the framed strip a wonky trim. You are aiming to trim it to something around 55″- 60″ X 12″-14″ or thereabouts but each side will be wonky. Firstly cut the ends off at a slight angle each, making sure to leave at least 1/2″ width away from the seam at the narrowest cut.
18. Then lay the strips down on a big table or on the floor and take a retractable metal tape measure to give you a straight line. Lay it along the edge of the top and bottom of the framed section at a slightly wonky angle, making sure to leave at least 1/2″ width at the narrowest cut. Mark several pencil marks along the line.
19. Bring up to the cutting mat and cut along the marked line, from pencil mark to pencil mark to end up with a long wonky strip. Retain any off cuts wider than 2″ to go into the scrappy binding.
Adding pops of colour
20. If you want to add pops of colour into the semi-solid at any point, take an off cut scrap of fabric from the LCSs. In the picture below, I've taken a piece from trimming the long LCS strips to it has two LCS fabrics in it. Lay it over the sashing strip where you want it to be inserted with both fabrics right sides up.
Cut the sashing strip along both sides of the scrap of fabric.
21. Sew the scrap of fabric to one piece of the sashing, press and trim.
Then attach the other piece of sashing and press.
Framing in grey
22. Cut the two yards of grey semi solid into sixteen 4 1/2″ WOF strips.
23. Layout the five colour framed strips and decide on a layout.
24. Sew pieces of grey to the end of each strip. Add in pops of color if desired. Trim along the sides but not the ends at this stage. If any of these five sections are significantly shorter than the others, add some more grey or even a pop of color and then some more grey to bring them to the same length(ish).
25. Join the remaining WOF strips end to end to make one long piece of sashing. Insert pops of colour into this as and when desired.
26. Sash the top and the bottom of the 1st, 3rd and 5th brick strip in your quilt layout, leaving the 2nd and 4th unsashed. Do not yet trim the ends or the side of these strips.
27. Once again lay all five strips out on the floor or a large table, butting each one right up to the next one. Measure the length of the quilt on the left, middle and right of the floor layout. If these three measurements are significantly different, try flipping one or two strips to bring them as close together as possible. If necessary, make a wonky trim along the length of one of the strips to bring the top and bottom of the quilt as close to parallel as possible.
28. Sew the five strips together and press.
29. Measure the length of the finished quilt at three points along its width and make a final wonky trim if needed to bring those two edges parallel.
30. To trim the sides, fold the quilt into quarters and make a final trim parallel to the folded edges cutting off all the uneven ends to give a straight finish on both sides. Here is a bad indoor photo of my quilt top just having been all squared up.
31. Back, baste and quilt as desired.
32. To make the scrappy binding, take all scraps of the semi solid offcuts more than 2″ wide (or 2 1/2″ wide if you prefer a slightly wider binding) and sew them into one long binding. Add in pops of colour if desired.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the Xayaburi dam in Laos on Nov 7 marked the symbolic end to a long and contentious international campaign to delay the dam's construction until further studies into its potential trans-boundary impacts were complete.
According to the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) prepared in 2010 on behalf of the Mekong River Commission (MRC), these studies would have taken at least 10 years. But what was really at stake with Xayaburi? What has the debate over this dam taught us? And where do we go from here?
Local opposition to the Xayaburi dam immediately downstream in Thailand was mostly focused on local impacts. But the project also opened up much larger questions for the region.
The issue is not so much about the direct impacts of the Xayaburi dam (it is too far upstream to have a significant impact on fish migration and consequently fish production in the most productive parts of the river), but that it would set a precedent for a cascade of the planned 11 mainstream dams extending down to Sambor in central Cambodia.
If all of these dams were built, the impacts on food security, particularly in Cambodia's Tonle Sap Lake, which depends on the seasonal flood pulse carrying water and nutrient-rich sediment to drive its extraordinary fish productivity, could be catastrophic. Beyond that, if a significant enough portion of sediment flow was cut off to the Mekong Delta, Vietnam's rice basket could start to sink into the ocean.
The full 11-dam cascade therefore poses an existential threat to the development prospects and political stability of the Mekong region. Common sense dictates that while socioeconomic progress is necessary, it should not be achieved by taking unnecessary risks that threaten ecosystems and environmental services upon which society depends for its well-being.
Seen in that context, debate over the Xayaburi dam is just one step in a long-term effort to ensure that the Mekong is developed in ways that optimise the shared benefits to all riparians without undermining regional peace and security.
How can this be achieved? Firstly, to say that all dams are bad is simply not true. The important questions are about which ones, and what their likely impacts will be. The cumulative and trans-boundary impacts of the 11-dam cascade needs to be assessed in terms of changes in income resulting from reduced fish production and subsidence from reduced sediment flow.
These are complex calculations. Still, current advances in data availability and modelling methods means that much more accurate predictions can now be made, which is exactly what needs to be done in the Mekong region. This will allow clear identification of those dams that pose the most substantial risks.
Secondly, it is important to recognise that asking Laos not to build dams on the Mekong is asking a lot. An economic evaluation of the 11-dam cascade by Portland State University and Mae Fah Luang University found that irrespective of the exact values you assign to the environmental goods and services that would be lost as a result of the dams, the impact on Laos would be limited in comparison to its downstream neighbours. Given that limited downside, it is easy to see that hydropower development makes sense for Laos.
The question then is, should downstream neighbours explore a compensation scheme to offset some of the income that Laos would forego from not building some of the proposed dams? The amount of income foregone may not be as large as might initially be expected. Xayaburi, for example, is a build-own-operate-transfer project that will generate a few tens of millions of dollars a year in revenue to the government during the first 30 years. While not insignificant, such sums are tiny relative to Vietnam's existing investments in Laos, and miniscule in comparison to the value of regional trade.
Moreover, given international interest in the region's prosperity and stability, it may be possible that Vietnam could secure co-financing from its development partners to support such an initiative.
If Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam can agree, first, not to proceed with the riskiest dams and, second, to explore a compensation mechanism to offset some of the forgone revenue of un-constructed dams, it may be possible to formalise an agreement. This could come through either a revised 1995 Mekong Agreement, the 1997 UN Convention on Non-navigational Uses of Waterways, or some other legal mechanism. Key to such an agreement would be the inclusion of a provision obliging the parties to refer decisions to an independent arbiter in the case of irreconcilable disagreement.
The 1960 Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan, for example, includes a provision to refer such disagreement to the International Court of Justice. Despite three wars between India and Pakistan since 1960, the treaty stands. While no use has been made of the recourse mechanism, it gives both parties confidence that if their vital interests are threatened, a process is in place to resolve the dispute.
Vietnam is in a strong position to lead such a process, and its development partners including Finland, Australia, Sweden, and US might even be willing to provide technical and financial support to a process of "hydro-diplomacy" involving all the countries of the Lower Mekong that would culminate in a legally binding agreement.
Such an agreement would have to:
- Recognise the rights of all parties to harness the Mekong for development without causing large-scale irreversible trans-boundary impacts.
- Provide a legal basis and institutional mechanism for conducting cumulative and trans-boundary impact assessments using robust and agreed upon standards for all proposed mainstream dams.
- Provide a legal basis and institutional mechanism for compensation payments for offsetting foregone revenue of not developing some mainstream dams.
- Provide a legal basis for the assessment and payment of claims for compensation arising from trans-boundary impacts of dams that are developed.
- Provide an independent recourse mechanism in the case of irreconcilable disagreements between parties.
While there has been no official announcement on why Vietnam withdrew its objection to Xayaburi at the most recent meeting of the MRC Council in Luang Prabang on Jan 15-17, the Vietnamese delegation argued that there should be no further developments on the mainstream until the results of a four-year study are available. The five-point hydro-diplomacy approach described above would support this effort while providing additional security if the results of the study were disputed.
The region would benefit by taking a "whole Mekong" approach. A few days after the Xayaburi groundbreaking ceremony, the Cambodian government announced that a contract to build the Lower Sesan 2 (LS2) dam had been signed. Studies show that from a social and environmental point of view, LS2 is of much higher concern than Xayaburi because it would block the Sesan and Srepok, two of the Mekong's largest tributaries, and could result in major reductions in both sediment flow and fish production. A study by Ziv et al of 27 dams that have construction planned between 2015 and 2030 on the Mekong's tributaries ranked LS2 as the most damaging with the least benefit because it would generate relatively little power (400 megawatts) while reducing fish production by 9.3%. This may not sound much, but considering that a large number of Cambodia's nearly 15 million people depend on fish from the Tonle Sap for a significant proportion of their animal protein consumption; even a modest reduction could threaten the food security of millions.
It is important to note that civil society organisations are becoming increasingly influential in the region. As they expand and strengthen national and international networks, their influence on hydropower decision-making will only increase. This is particularly true in Thailand and Vietnam, currently the two largest electricity consumers in the riparian countries of the lower Mekong. At least in the immediate future, decisions by Thailand and Vietnam will determine which dams are built and which are not. Civil society, especially in these two countries, will have a role to play in the unfolding debate.
The reality is that the debate over the future of the Mekong has only just started. If in 20 years a binding regional agreement is in place that identifies dams that have been scientifically assessed as "high risk" and prevents their construction, that would be considered a successful outcome. It would benefit all countries in the region through environmental security and strengthened political relationships.

Beautiful & Durable – Choosing a Carpet That Will Last
Flooring can add beauty and style to your home. From beautiful, natural hardwood to soft luxurious carpet, a floor provides the backdrop for the rest of your room. You floor also gets a lot of wear and tear. Pets, guests, family, kids – your carpet literally gets walked all over every day. Choosing a floor that can take the abuse is important in having the beautiful backdrop that lets your home shine. When you're choosing a floor, arm yourself with this information and you won't be disappointed with the beautiful floors you'll have for many years to come.
In our first installment of Beautiful & Durable, we'll take a look at carpet. Carpet accounts for the majority of flooring purchased and is a great option for almost any space. But, please don't choose carpet for your bathroom!
Carpet is great for bedrooms and living spaces, carpet is soft and warm underfoot. It comes in more colors so you're bound to find the perfect hue. There are many types of carpet – some are better for high traffic areas and some offer unbelievable soft luxury. Choosing the right one depends on your space and your lifestyle.
The first thing you'll want to consider is the type of fiber your carpet is made from. There are four basic types of carpet fibers.
Durable, versatile, wear-resistant and easy to clean, nylon is a great fiber choice for all areas of the home. Nylon is also soft to the touch and some new nylon yarns can be exceptionally soft. Nylon is not inherently stain-resistant, however, most nylon carpets are treated to protect against spills and stains.
Exceptionally soft, polyester also has natural stain resistant qualities. Polyester is not as resilient as nylon but thanks to advancements in yarn processing, polyester carpets now perform much better than older polyester carpets.
Polypropylene, while not as resilient as nylon or polyester will not absorb water making it more stain and fade resistant. Polypropylene is usually found in loop pile carpets where the lack of resiliency is not an issue.
For a truly natural fiber option, wool carpets offer many of the great features of man-made fibers. It is hypoallergenic, stain-resistant and even flame retardant. Wool carpets tend to be more expensive than other carpets with man-made fibers.
Once you've determined the fiber type that is right for your lifestyle, you'll want to consider the type of texture that fits your space. There are four basic textures when it comes to carpet:
Berber is a looped carpet tufted with thick yarn. It often has random specks of color in contrast to a base hue. It is great for any areas that must endure lots of traffic, such and entryways and hallways. This floor covering has a rich, textured feel, while maintaining an informal, casual look.

Loop carpet has yarns that are looped and uncut on the carpet surface. The pile height can vary from low, tightly constructed to a more luxurious high-level pile. Loop carpet has strength and soil hiding capabilities. This style is ideal for heavy traffic areas. Loop carpet can take lots of abuse and is great for use in kids' rooms and family rooms. The shadings in this carpet will resist traffic patterns while making colors appear deeper and richer. That means, you won't have to vacuum every time your carpet gets walked on.
This Loop carpet from Innovia Touch will hide traffic patterns and it's super soft. Photo: Innovia Touch from Carpet One
Cut carpet consists of yarns that are cut at the ends. The soft feel of cut carpet makes it a perfect choice for the most comfortable areas of your home — bedrooms, living rooms and family rooms. There are five basic styles of cut pile carpet: Velvet, Saxony, Frieze, Shag, and Cable, each provide a different look and texture. The primary difference among these styles is the amount of twist in the yarns that will ultimately influence the carpet's durability. Plush saxonies are used in formal settings whereas textured plushes are less formal and help hide footprints and vacuum marks. There are a wide variety of looks and colors in cut style carpets. When you're looking for durability, remember - the tighter the twist level, the better the carpet will perform.
A frieze can make your home comfortable and works great in casual spaces. Photo: Resista from Carpet One
A more plush option gives your floors a sleeker look. Bonus, this carpet is stain resistant. Photo: Relax, it's…Lees from Carpet One
As the name suggests, cut & loop carpet has a combination of high cut tufts and lower loops in a variety of sculptured patterns. Cut-loop carpets offer good performance but are slightly less durable than loop carpets. Tough and durable, cut & loop carpets can be used in any place that gets a lot of activity. These carpets are great at adding a dimension of texture that creates an enhanced plush profile and camouflages traffic patterning.
This carpet has a cut and loop wave pattern that remains a neutral backdrop but gives your floor a subtle pattern that stays beautiful. Photo: Azzaro from Bigelow.
Armed with this information, you can choose a carpet that fits with your lifestyle and remains beautiful for years to come.
What texture and fiber combination is right for your home?

In the fall of 2003, he started painting again, and still had hideous results, but with alot of practice, eventually got a little bit better. He has awards for painting from numerous painting contests, including ReaperCon 2005 and 2006 where he won a total of 7 Sophies. Philip has done some freelance work for Reaper Miniatures.
