Age: 3 or 12, depending on how you count.
Years skiing: 10
Happy Third Birthday Jack! What's the best part of being a Leap Baby?
Thanks! The best part, probably, is not getting very old so soon, and I get to celebrate my birthday all week for three other years because I don't have an official birthdate.
What are your three favorite runs to ski at Deer Valley?
Chute 1/ Daly Bowl
Chute 2

This week in bread
Last week, my breads had a more or less "command performance" in the Italian language class my wife and I are taking. I've been a bit uncomfortable taking food since the class meets in a deli/cafe/wine bar. Anyway, I decided to let it be on the teacher's head. I took a large wicker basket with half slices of 3 breads - a seeded sourdough Italian bread with 20% durum flour, a walnut-dried fig bread based on my San Francisco-style sourdough and a "Overnight Country Brown" from Ken Forkish.
Everyone seemed to enjoy all the breads. I was most delighted by the reactions of a fellow student who is a professor of art at the local State University. He was munching on the Forkish bread and carrying on about how even the local "French Bakery" (which is pretty good) puts "too much air" in their breads. He was talking, I'm sure, about the fluffiness you get when you spike sourdough breads with yeast. He thought the Country Brown was a lot like the breads he had had in France. (It is very similar to some pain de compagne I've had in the Dordogne Valley. And we had a "guest" sitting in, which we often do. Clara is a native Italian - an older woman who was the cook/owner of an Italian Restaurant/Pizzaria that is now closed. I understand she still has her old commercial mixer at home and bakes her own bread and makes pizzas and calzones. Her compliments meant a lot to me.
Speaking of Forkish's breads, Fresno is now in our version of "Fall." My kitchen temperature is running right around 70 dF. I've made a couple FWSY formulas in the past 2 weeks - one is fermenting now - and they are keeping to the timings in the book more closely. I'm still not able to let an "overnight" dough bulk ferment at room temperature overnight. I'm not too unhappy about this. The cold retardation makes the breads more sour, which i don't mind.
The breads at the head of this blog entry are some San Joaquin Sourdough baguettes and San Francisco-style Sourdoughs with 20% whole wheat I baked yesterday.
We're having Thanksgiving at our house for the first time in several years. Our sons and their families and one of my sisters and her son will be with us. I'm looking forward to it. It's time to start planning baking for the holiday weekend. Some breads for stuffing, some for morning toast and sandwich rolls for sure.

A Quick Blurb of Meaningless Mumbo Jumbo
I did go to a party over the weekend. The centerpieces were vases filled with flowers. I assumed that the vases were made of glass until my sister-in-law told me otherwise. It is actually made from a soft plastic that is held rigid when filled with water. I was sitting a foot away from it and thought that it was glass. Very convincing and quite innovative.
The best part about it is that it is collapsible and can be stored flat.
Thank you all for your lovely comments. I apologize for being so out of touch. Life seems to have knocked the wind out of my sails. I haven't done anything earth shattering or interesting lately. I am still stitching hexagons into ornaments and have started making puffy Sweetheart Suzy flower pins. Perhaps another random, inane post is in order about all that stuff. We'll see. Until then, take care, everyone!

Hi Lettie ~ It sounds as though you're a bit down....please don't feel that you have to blog. But, I did like what you spoke about. While I've heard of those vases, I've never seen one. How neat! Didn't realize they were reusable.
Take care of yourself.....we'll all patiently await your comments.

I had not seen these vases before, but what a great idea. If you pick them up when they have water in them...to they squeeze in? I would think it would be hard to carry them around.

- Arlette said...
Teresa, the vases are sturdy and do not collapse when they are being held. I had the same thought that you did, wondering how I was going to carry it home without making a mess. It turned out that it wasn't a problem. I didn't see a single person struggle with it as they left the party. The plastic is thick enough to provide enough support. This is a wonderful idea for people who have little children and are afraid that they will break a glass vase and also great for people who live in small spaces (care homes, dorm rooms,etc). Totally a terrific product and idea. (Wish I had thought of it...hehehehe!)

How cool is that vase...you know blogs should be about whatever you want to put on them or not put on them...and they shouldn't rule you...you should just post when you want or dont want...that's my thoughts...hugs Khris

Spunky RaeLynn Performs 'God Made Girls' for Taste of Country [Watch]
RaeLynn stopped by the Taste of Country offices to perform her new single 'God Made Girls' this week. The country firecracker sang an emotional version of the song over a simple acoustic guitar, which we caught on tape to share with you.
Fans agree that the Texan is a much stronger vocalist now than when she finished her time on 'The Voice' in 2012. 'God Made Girls' is from her debut album, which is expected in late 2014 or in 2015.
Always a engaging performer, the 20-year-old plays right to viewers at home or work in this three-minute-long clip. After her time on the NBC series, she hit the road with Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Pistol Annies. They took her under their collective wing and helped shape her into the well-rounded artist she is today. Fans are loving 'God Made Girls,' as well as the official music video, which was just released last week.

Roasted Figs with Candied Ginger
No recipe, just a simple dessert idea. Halved figs are sprinkled with sugar and topped with couple of Buderim candied ginger nibbles. Roasted in the 200 C/400 F oven for 15 minutes, just to warm through, then drizzled with lemon juice and garnished with lemon zest.
Perhaps not the best fig dessert ever, but it's quick and easy, and I love the picture :)

Freya - it does look delicious, I agree :)
ChichaJo - can you get fresh figs at home?
eleonora - thank you so much for your kind words!
Liz - well, fresh figs are very hard to get here in Estonia, and they're definitely don't grow here. The ones available at grocery stores are way overpriced and often underripe and tasteless. Luckily, one can sometimes get lucky at the market :)
Jeanne - it tasted just fine, but nothing special. But I really-really loved the photo :)

Today it came to my attention that two heavyweights have shared their thoughts on this matter, bestsellers Scott Turow and James Patterson.
They didn't sway me with their implacable logic and iron-clad arguments. They won't sway you, either.
Because what they said is some of the stupidest shit they've ever said. And that's saying something.
This is from Patterson's Facebook page. Patterson is in italics, I'm in bold.
Read four of the most important paragraphs I'll ever write.
Because nothing is more important than kissing your publisher's ass while demonizing Amazon--the same Amazon that is making you many times richer.
If you ever write about something really important (like pretty much anything else), you've trivialized it with that stupid opening.
The press doesn't seem to consider this newsworthy, but there is a war going on between Amazon and book publishers. This war involves money of course, and though I have an opinion, I'm not here to comment on what might be a fair and reasonable settlement.
You mean the press didn't run this screed for you? What a shame.
Also, you say you're not here to comment on what's fair and reasonable, yet at the end of your nonsense you call for laws to change things. I'm pretty sure that tidbit, and this entire post, is you commenting on what you believe is fair and reasonable, and I'm also pretty sure you're sharing your opinion.
There are other significant issues people might want to consider. Currently, Amazon is making it difficult to order many books from Little, Brown and Grand Central, which affects readers of authors such as Malcolm Gladwell, Nicholas Sparks, Michael Connelly, me, and hundreds of others whose living depends on book sales. What I don't understand about this particular battle tactic is how it is in the best interest of Amazon customers. It certainly doesn't appear to be in the best interest of authors.
I'd bet none of the names you mentioned depend on book sales to make a living. Unless you've all done really poorly with your investments.
Tip: When you want to engender sympathy in a reader, they probably aren't going to cry over what's happening to a small group of famous multimillionaires. Big bad Amazon took away your preorder buttons? What's going to happen to you as a result? You'll have to fire the servants at one of your vacation homes?
As for the hundreds of authors you didn't name who are really being hurt by this situation, they should hire a lawyer and get out of their contracts, like I did with Hachette. Then they won't get caught in business power struggles, and they'll actually have some control over their sales.
And as for being in the best interest of Amazon customers, I can make an educated guess. Who wants ebook prices higher, Hachette or Amazon? In this negotiation, if Hachette gets its way, will Amazon be forced to raise ebook prices to make up for Hachette's new terms? How does the customer benefit if ebook prices are raised?
More important—much more important—is the evolution/revolution that's occurring now in publishing. Small bookstores are being shuttered, book chains are going out of business, libraries are suffering enormous budget cuts, and every publisher—and the people who work at these publishing houses—is feeling a great deal of pain and stress. Ultimately, inevitably, the quality of American literature will suffer.
Because there can be no quality literature without publishers and book chains.
Hmm. I thought writers were the ones who did the writing. And I think they can reach readers without publishers and book store chains. Perhaps through companies like... what's the name of that big online bookstore? The one that made ebooks popular? I think it's named after a river...
If the world of books is going to change to ebooks, so be it. But I think it's essential that someone steps up and takes responsibility for the future of American literature and the part it plays in our culture. Right now, bookstores, libraries, authors, and books themselves are caught in the cross fire of an economic war. If this is the new American way, then maybe it has to be changed—by law, if necessary—immediately, if not sooner.
For God's sake, someone think of the culture!
Jim, I probably don't need to lecture you about how capitalism works, or how business negotiations work, so I am forced to assume that you're sticking to an emotional appeal rather than actually trying to make sense, because you're aware that your argument sucks the farts out of roadkill.
Maybe you should stop suggesting the government get involved, because the last time they did, they brought suit against your publisher and four others for collusion. Are you sure you want the DOJ to poke into Hachette's business again? I bet Hachette doesn't.
I also bet it is difficult to get anything done "sooner than immediately". But here's an idea: you get together with the other rich authors you mentioned and start your own online bookstore. Then you can do whatever you want with it. Sell paper books at high prices. Refuse to sell ebooks. Bend over for every publisher with unreasonable demands. And best of all, you can make sure you only carry quality, gatekeeper-vetted American literature steeped in culture.
And since you're obviously concerned about the hundreds of authors whose living depends on book sales, you could also send them a few grand each, to tide them over until Hachette stops dicking around and agrees to Amazon's terms.
Or maybe Hachette could show some balls, stop whining publicly, and actually pull all of their titles from Amazon. In fact, maybe the CEOs of all Big 5 publishers should meet in secret and discuss a strategy to deal with Amazon. It's bound to work.
Speaking of whining publicly, here's a wonderful tidbit from Passive Voice:
In a comment about one of the Amazon/Hachette posts, Elka wondered how Hachette would react if an author who was negotiating a publishing contract with Hachette went on the internet to complain about Hachette's negotiating style and contract terms.
I can guess how they'd react. They'd dump the author immediately.
I'd be seriously amused if Amazon did that to Hachette. It would suck for a lot of authors, but maybe it would finally prompt them to hire lawyers.
But Patterson hasn't been hogging all the stupid for himself. Then was this nugget from Scott Turow, quoted in the Washington Post.
"This one goes along with the pulling of the buy buttons as the most daunting exercise of brute market power."
As I've stated ad nauseum, Amazon removed the buy buttons because Macmillan was trying to strongarm Amazon into raising ebook prices.
Amazon can sell whatever the hell it wants to sell. It isn't a monopsony, and even if it was, during its entire existence its main goal has been to satisfy customers with low prices and good service.
I'll opine that the most daunting exercise of brute market power is the lockstep, non-negotiable 25% ebook royalty rates most major publishers force upon their authors, among many other unconscionable clauses.
Turow, a lawyer who has written 11 books, including legal thrillers such as "Presumed Innocent," said that Amazon recently raised the price of his most recent book, "Identical," a move that he said would depress sales.
You mean you're upset because Amazon raised the price of your book to your publisher's list price?
Did you really say that?
Did you really say that?
Pick your favorite response:
a) Don't they have irony on your planet, Scott?
b) As a lawyer who has to argue for a living, how could you say something this stupid and ruin your own case?
c) Welcome to the midlist world of no discounting, where 99% of published authors live, and so do all independent bookstores.
"What kind of entity in a competitive market would willfully drive customers into the arms of its competitors unless it believes it doesn't really have any competitors?" Turow said.
What kind of entity in a competitive market would willfully offer authors shitty contract terms unless it believes it doesn't really have any competitors?
Answer: Your publisher, and all other major publishers, who had a cartel that controlled paper distribution, so most authors were forced to accept shitty terms or not get published.
And now the publishers are unhappy that someone else is using their power to dictate terms? Boo fucking hoo.
BTW, last I checked it isn't illegal to drive customers to a competitor. Competitors actually like that kind of thing.
And I can't resist quoting Scott from two years ago:
"The irony bites hard: our government may be on the verge of killing real competition in order to save the appearance of competition."
And I can't resist quoting Scott from two years ago:
"The irony bites hard: our government may be on the verge of killing real competition in order to save the appearance of competition."
So two years ago you were upset because you felt (wrongly, in your defense of the Big 5 collusion suit) that Amazon was killing real competition, and now you're upset because Amazon is fostering competition by driving customers away.
Yes, Scott. The irony bites hard.
But back to the fisking...
Yes, Scott. The irony bites hard.
But back to the fisking...
"Can you imagine Best Buy refusing to deliver for a period of weeks what's available from its competitors? But Amazon behaves as though they're the only game in town. And increasingly they are. It's a head-scratcher why anyone with regulatory authority would tolerate it. If this is not an example of untoward power, I don't know what is."
Can you imagine the government stepping in a mediating every legal, private business transaction? Because that's what you and Jim are begging for. Do you really think that will make the world a better place? Do you really think that's what the Big 5 want?
I don't know the details of the Hachette/Amazon negotiation (only Amazon and Hachette know those details), but I bet Hachette wouldn't like the DOJ, or some congressional committee, or anyone for that matter, telling them how to do business. Because if someone with regulatory authority took a look at the unconscionable contracts that publishers have been sticking authors with for the last fifty years, I bet they'd order some recompense.
But I'll answer your question. If Best Buy refused to deliver for a period of weeks, I'd just order what I wanted from Amazon.
Joe sez: This situation seems to really be burning up the Internets. Sending a shout out to Passive Voice again, they call it Amazon Derangement Syndrome.
The major publishers, and many authors, really seem to hate Amazon.
Why is this?
Because publishers used to be the only game in town. They abused that power, offering one-sided contracts to authors who had nowhere else to go. Authors, me included, were brainwashed into doing whatever our corporate masters asked, and we accepted whatever pittance they offered and were grateful for it because we believed we had no choice.
Amazon offered a choice. Not just for writers, but for consumers who wanted larger selections and didn't want to pay luxury prices for books. (Publishers didn't just control who got published, they also controlled the prices of their titles. What other industry prints a price on its product?)
So the big bully that is legacy publishing is angry that it can't be a big bully anymore, because of Amazon.
And, like all bullies, legacy publishing is a coward at heart, because it won't stand up to Amazon by pulling all of its titles.
So instead, publishers whine about Amazon because they don't have the guts to do anything else and collusion didn't work. Fat cat authors like Patterson and Turow call for government intervention using pathetic emotional appeals, because they don't want to lose their cushy places in the status quo. Brainwashed authors like Lilith Saintcrow suffer from Stockholm Syndrome and refuse to believe their publishers are the abusers.
And Amazon? Amazon keeps quiet while slowly but surely conquering the world. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, where that anti-Amazon piece just ran.
That's what true power is. Not whining in public. Not worrying what people think of you. Just changing the world by innovating, lowering prices on goods, offering unmatched service, and only flexing muscles when being bullied.
The day may come where Amazon does, indeed, become the bad guy.
But that day isn't today.

|Oracle Workflow Developer's Guide
Release 2.6.3
Part Number B10284-02
DEFAULT_ERROR is the internal name of the Default Error Process. The purpose of this error handling process is to:
The process automatically terminates when the error is no longer active.
Although you cannot edit the Default Error Process, the process is flexible enough for you to customize its behavior. You can define two item type attributes called WF_ADMINISTRATOR and ERROR_TIMEOUT in your item type that calls the Default Error Process to control the error processing that is performed.
The Initialize Error activity calls a PL/SQL procedure named WF_STANDARD.INITIALIZEERRORS. This procedure determines if the item type of the errored process has an item type attribute defined with an internal name of WF_ADMINISTRATOR. If it does, it sets the performer of the subsequent notification activity, Notify Administrator, to the role stored in WF_ADMINISTRATOR. If it does not, the subsequent notification activity remains set to the default performer, System Administrator.
By checking for an item attribute called WF_ADMINISTRATOR in your errored process's item type, the Initialize Error activity lets you specify who you want a notification to be sent to in the case of an error in your specific process without modifying the error process.
The Notify Administrator activity sends the Default Retry Error message to a performer (the System Administrator or whatever role is stored in your item type's WF_ADMINISTRATOR item attribute). The message indicates that an error has occurred in the specified process and that a response is needed. The response options and their resulting actions are:
Note: The notification message's embedded monitor URL displays the process in error in the Workflow Monitor with full administrator privileges. You can perform actions such as retrying, skipping or rolling back part of your process to resolve the error.
The subject and body of the Default Retry Error message are as follows:
Subject: Error in Workflow &ERROR_ITEM_TYPE/&ERROR_ITEM_KEY
Body: An Error occurred in the following Workflow.
Item Type = &ERROR_ITEM_TYPE
Item Key = &ERROR_ITEM_KEY
User Key =&ERROR_USER_KEY
Error Name = &ERROR_NAME
Error Message = &ERROR_MESSAGE
Error Stack = &ERROR_STACK
Activity Id = &ERROR_ACTIVITY_ID
Activity Label = &ERROR_ACTIVITY_LABEL
Result Code = &ERROR_RESULT_CODE
Notification Id = &ERROR_NOTIFICATION_ID
Assigned User = &ERROR_ASSIGNED_USER
The Notify Administrator notification activity has a dynamic timeout value assigned to it. It checks the item type of the errored process for an item type attribute whose internal name is ERROR_TIMEOUT. ERROR_TIMEOUT must be an attribute of type NUMBER. The Workflow Engine interprets the value of this attribute as a relative offset from the begin date of the activity, in the unit of MINUTES to determine the timeout value of Notify Administrator. If ERROR_TIMEOUT contains a null value, a value of zero, or is not defined at all, then Notify Administrator has no timeout.
The Workflow Engine initiates the Error Still Active function activity if the Notify Administrator activity times out or returns Abort or Retry as a result.
The Error Still Active activity calls a PL/SQL procedure called WF_STANDARD.CHECKERRORACTIVE. The purpose of the Error Still Active activity is to determine whether the errored process is still in error before continuing with the error handling. If it is, Error Still Active returns TRUE and the Workflow Engine takes the appropriate transition to either send another notification or abort or retry the errored process. If the errored process is no longer in error, this activity returns False and the error handling process ends, as modelled in the process diagram.
The Retry function activity executes the PL/SQL procedure WF_STANDARD.RESETERROR to clear the activity that was in error and run it again. This procedure calls the WF_ENGINE.HandleError API to rerun the activity.
The Abort function activity executes the PL/SQL procedure WF_STANDARD.ABORTPROCESS, which in turn calls the WF_ENGINE.AbortProcess API to abort the process that encountered the error.

- Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech "Ain't I a Woman?" is oft-quoted, but has a disputed source, illustrating why it's often tough to find famous women's speeches. In this case, that happened because Truth could neither read nor write. That doesn't detract at all from her message about equality for all women of all races. Read Soujourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman" Speech: A Primary Source Investigation for more about the many versions of this speech, only one of which contains the most-quoted phrase.
- Ida B. Wells's 1909 "This Awful Slaughter" busted the myth that women's safety was the reason lynchings were carried out, and used a mix of data and defiance to fight against the practice of mob killings of black men. Read the book To Tell the Truth Freely: The Life of Ida B. Wells to learn more about her campaign.
- Josephine Baker at the March on Washington shares the brief remarks of the lone woman to share the program with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and scores of other male speakers. Those who thought of her as a notorious showgirl learned more about her self-enforced exile to France as a way of seeking racial equality.
- Fannie Lou Hamer's 1964 convention committee testimony failed to gain her a seat at that convention, but succeeded in raising the visibility of violence against blacks attempting to register to vote. Four years later, she became an historic convention delegate. You can read more about her public speaking in The Speeches of Fannie Lou Hamer: To Tell It Like It Is.
- Coretta Scott King's 1968 "10 Commandments on Vietnam" -- a speech she gave in her husband's place, just weeks after his assassination -- took scribbled notes found in his pockets and made them into a powerful call to action. Desert Rose: The Life and Legacy of Coretta Scott King is a recent biography. This post was our very first Famous Speech Friday entry!
- Shirley Chisholm introducing the Equal Rights Amendment wasn't a first. This member of Congress was re-introducing the legislation, 40 years after it was first proposed--and did so in her usual fiery and forthright style.
- Barbara Jordan's 1976 Democratic convention keynote broke barriers for women and for blacks in one speech, suggesting that "the American Dream need not be deferred." It's loaded with elegant rhetoric and is a wonderful listen, thanks to Jordan's vocalizing skills. A Private Woman in Public Spaces: Barbara Jordan's Speeches on Ethics, Public Religion, and Law takes a focused look at the speeches of one of America's most eloquent women.
- Anita Hill's 1981 Senate testimony about Clarence Thomas disrupted the Senate confirmation hearings of the then-nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, leveling sexual harrassment allegations against him that ultimately did not prevent his appointment to the court. "It would have been more comfortable to remain silent," she said in this televised testimony that stunned viewers and brought harrassment into the open as an issue. In Speaking Truth to Power, she tells her story.
- Maya Angelou's 1995 poem, "Phenomenal Woman," often delivered by her and others as a speech, summed up for me and many others what made this frequent speaker so special. Listen closely to her charming delivery.
- Angelou's 2006 eulogy for Coretta Scott King might be any eulogy from one close friend for another, as Angelou tells stories about the civil rights icon that only a girlfriend would know. This is a lovely, simple and moving tribute.
- Edwidge Danticat's 2007 testimony on death in detention gave the novelist a gripping real-life story to tell, about her uncle's treatment at the hands of U.S. immigration and customs officials when he was held in detention. It's moving, direct and powerful, just like her fictional writings. You can read more about this dramatic story in her book Brother, I'm Dying.
- Rep. Gwen Moore's 2011 floor speech on abortion rights and family planning came during a debate about federal funding for family planning. She chose to use her status as a member of Congress to share a personal perspective as a former teenage mother.
- Michelle Obama's 2011 speech to young African women leaders took place in a powerful setting, and used that visual reminder to call these young women to action. Michelle Obama: Speeches on Life, Love, and American Values collects speeches of our current First Lady, preserving the legacy of a frequent speaker.
- Viola Davis's 2011 awards acceptance speech, "What keeps me in the business is hope," went far beyond the usual platitudes and confronted what it's like to be a black actress in the movie industry. An eloquent extemporaneous speech.
- Chimamanda Adichie's "we should all be feminists," a 2012 TEDxEuston talk, has inspired pop icons and women and men around the world with its frank, funny, and fierce viewpoint.
- Michelle Obama's 2012 Democratic National Convention speech follows a formula for memorable speeches recommended by President John F. Kennedy's speechwriter, Ted Sorensen. And it worked with today's audiences, garnering more than 28,000 tweets per second from those who watched it.
- Viola Davis's 2012 commencement speech is titled "Go out and live!" It's a stunning example of what you can do with a tired speaking format, and is like no college commencement speech you've ever endured. Perhaps my favorite line: "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you discover why you were born."
- Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's 2013 Harvard commencement speech shared the dreams and roadblocks in the Liberian president's stellar career. She says, "If your dreams do not scare you, they're not big enough."
- Essie Washington-Williams's 2013 "I feel completely free" told the world a secret she'd kept most of her life: She was the daughter of a black woman and Senator Strom Thurmond, a white segregationist who campaigned against civil rights.
- Joyce Banda's tribute to Nelson Mandela at his memorial service in 2013 wasn't a remarkable text--until the Malawi president went off-script and put in the color and creativity she got in part from her mentor.
- Myrlie Evers-Williams's invocation at President Obama's second inaugural in 2013 marked the first time the invocation at the ceremony was given by a woman, and by someone other than a member of the clergy. The widow of assassinated civil rights activist Medgar Evers summoned the spirits of the leaders of that movement to witness the day's proceedings. Read more about her story in her memoir Watch Me Fly: What I Learned on Becoming the Woman I Was Meant to Be.
- Leymah Gbowee's 2013 Barnard commencement speech had the Liberian Nobel laureate urging women to "step out of the shadows" and get more credit for their work.
- Gabourey Sidibe's speech at the 2014 Gloria Awards used an iconic photo of her aunt and Gloria Steinem to honor Steinem, and to talk about being confident despite how she's taunted because of her weight.
- Michelle Obama's eulogy for Maya Angelou in 2014 echoed words from "Phenomenal Woman" and told how the poet inspired her as a child.
- Kerry Washington spoke in 2014 on the risks of public speaking for women and women of color, admitting she'd turned down the chance to give a TED talk in an award acceptance speech.
- Rashema Melson's 2014 high school valedictory speech made headlines because the speaker overcame homelessness to graduate at the top of her class and get into Georgetown. A short, fierce, fantastic speech.
- Laverne Cox gave a 2014 keynote on transgender activism for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force meeting, offering inspiration and encouragement to local activists.
- Lupita Nyong'o used a 2014 acceptance speech at a Hollywood luncheon to talk about the conflicting views we have about black women and beauty in a revealing, resonant talk.
- Viola Davis's 2014 acceptance speech focused on hunger, taking a Hollywood audience to the dumpsters where she dived for food as a child, and speaking abou the importance of public speaking to shed light on so-called "unspeakable" issues. A riveting short speech.
- Shonda Rhimes's "You are not alone" speech at the Human Rights Campaign Fund awards in 2015 expanded on one of her favorite themes: It's not "diversity," it's reflecting what is normal that makes her work inclusive.
- Keila Banks's "Undefinable Me" was the 13-year-old's keynote at a major tech conference, where she put the lie to common perceptions of who is and is not technically adept.
- Viola Davis brought the house down at the 2015 Emmy Awards, where she captured the first best actress in a drama award for a black woman, with an acceptance speech that left no doubt about the importance and weight of that moment.
- Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche calls likability a barrier to authentic storytelling, a message she gave to young girls in 2015 that should resonate with every eloquent woman.
- Linda Cliatt-Wayman closed the 2015 TEDWomen conference with this powerful message about education in troubled schools, prompted by a moment when she was interrupted mid-speech by a student.
- Rep. Terri Sewell's remarks at the 2015 anniversary of the civil rights march on Selma, Alabama, in 1965, shared her perspective as a living marker of progress--she grew up there, and now represents the city in the U.S. Congress. And she made President Obama laugh during her remarks, always a plus.
- Lupita Nyong'o keynoted a 2015 women's conference and talked about following her fears--including a fear of giving that very keynote. The speech demonstrates just what you can accomplish when you follow her lead.
- Viola Davis's "Everything should be spoken," another 2015 awards acceptance speech, advocated that we should be speaking about "the unspeakable" and normalizing it.
- Queen Latifah used her 2016 Screen Actors Guild award acceptance to encourage others who don't fit society's lens to define themselves and "keep fighting for it" in a short, strong speech which also saw her use her award statuette as a barbell, briefly.
Inspiration, ideas and information to help women build public speaking content, confidence and credibility. Denise Graveline is a Washington, DC-based speaker coach who has coached nearly 200 TEDMED and TEDx speakers--including one of 2016's most popular TED talks. She also has prepared speakers for presentations, testimony, and keynotes.

Inspiration Board Images: Organic Modern Dining Rooms
Organic modern dining rooms have a lived-in elegance that comes from balancing hard and soft elements. They are cool, calm, and collected, while inviting you to share the space with family and friends.
Organic modern rooms are all about a well edited mix: they combine natural materials, interesting textures, and clean lines. In a dining room, the style can translate into single pieces such as a large, farm style wooden table with an angular modern base (Image 4) or pairings like that of a warm wood table with acrylic, molded plastic, or wire chairs (Images 2, 3, and 6). Other ingredients can include a fair amount of white, a splash of color, and, for good measure, some greenery.

Here we go, a Hillary Clinton SuperPAC is taking off, just as she's set to leave the Secretary of State position. It's interesting that we're looking to 2016 already, only a week into President Obama's second term.
ReadyForHillary launches a splash page next Monday at its website, ReadyForHillary.com. Allida Black and Judy Beck, two veteran Clinton fundraisers, are spearheading the new organization. They recruited Adam Parkhomeko, who helped launch a "Draft Hillary" movement in 2003 and was later hired by the campaign, to corral the far-flung vestiges of the Clinton campaign organization. NGP Software, which designed the Clinton campaign website in 2008, has been hired by the PAC.
Several former Clinton campaign staffers are offering input and suggestions. The PAC has no formal affiliation with Clinton or any of her top aides.
The first inklings of the new organization came late last year, when a @ReadyForHillary Twitter handle began to follow Democratic activists and political reporters. Source

It has been shown that for radi-cal
action, such as revolution and
riots, to have a chance to succeed
in producing social improvement,
it must mee three conditions: 1)
relationship of activity to real ex-ploitation;
2) offer of Utopian end;
3) sole voice and hope of the ex-ploited.
An organ for action is
best formed and refined through
violence. The precise moment
when this manner of extreme ac-tion
is needed to rectify an ine-quality
is hotly debated.
It is my personal conviction that
the time has not yet arrived in
America and therefore the Chris-tian's
responsibility, at present, is
to work to destroy the evil of
racism before such recourse is nec-essary.
It is in this respect that I
differ with Stokley Carmichael
and Rap Brown, not in their meth-ods.
Che Guevara, in his revolution-ary
handbook, Guerrilla Warfare,

is only a last resort. "Where
a government has come into power

vote, fraudulent or not, and main-tains
at least an appearance of
constitutional legality, the guerril-la
outbreak cannot be promoted,
since the possibilities of peaceful
struggle have not yet been exhaust-ed."

The recent "peaceful" demon-stration

that the effectiveness of any peace-ful

Consequently, a growing number

was depicted as consisting for the
most part, of the use of force on

The record library of the sta-tion
has been growing through do-nations

Choir Prepares 'Warm' Sounds
For Its Autumn Pops Presentation
U.S Blacks Will Resort To
Violence As A Last Chance
Claim Recent Elections Manipulated

the CLARION Thursday, November 16, 1967
The recent visit of Dr. Richard Cox to the campus has
brought to the fore a very real need on the Bethel campus,
that of a counselling service. Such service would be of help
to students in two areas, both psychologically, and vocationally.
It is unprincipled and unwise to state that a psychological
counselling center has no place on a Christian campus. The stig-ma
attached to counselling by fundamentalist groups is a result
of inconsistent thought. Few of these groups would hesitate to
accept physical treatment in a hospital. It is recognized, how-ever,
that God has endowed the physicians with skill, and pro-vided
the wherewithal for restoration of health to sick bodies.
Is the same reasoning not applicable to the psychological coun-selling
of those with anguished minds?
There has been a rather dramatic rise in the appearance
of such problems on campus. Casual conversation with indivi-dual
students will indicate that students would be willing, yea
eager, to avail themselves of counselling services.
The fact of the matter is that the faculty members at
Bethel who are primarily responsible for the counselling of stu-dents
are withdrawn from the student community. This is a
result of heavy teaching loads which prevents casual contact as
well as sometimes a blunt disinterest for the welfare of the
The students need a place of neutral territory in which
they can freely discuss their problems without fear of retribu-tion.
This will be the case as long as the administration serves
as the disciplinary arm of the college. A counselling office
could well be a place for the establishment of this neutral
Finally, students at Bethel could make extensive use of a
vocational counselling center. The confusion on the part of
many students may be attributed as much to 'spiritual laxity'
as to sheer lack of direction. Very few opportunities are afford-ed
the student to test his abilities or to measure his inate capa-bilities
through vocational tests, and other devices used in such
vocational centers on other campuses.
The purpose of this office would not be to tread on ground
reserved for one's personal relationship to God, but rather to
enhance it. It must be seen not as a psychological philosophy
laced with a few appropriate Bible verses, but as an integral
way for today's generation to search for a meaningful service
to society. This can only be done as long as there is a basic
understanding that students at Bethel are totally committed
to uncovering a lifeway significant to the growing Kingdom
of God.
Definition Of Good Taste
Necessary For Campus
Beyond the realm of right and wrong—what is good and
bad, there is the nebulous world of good and bad taste. More
often than not, it is in this world that the Bethel community
struggles for a common standard.
The appearance of the Music Projection on campus, as
well as a host of other incidents bring to the fore this issue
of taste.
What is good taste? Anything which represents the aspir-ations
of the community in general—which has at heart the
maturity of the members of this campus will be in good taste.
Anything which lies outside of this rather nebulous circle ap-proaches
poor taste.
The unique thing about Bethel is that our taste is and
should be different from the rest of the world for we have a
new sense of the implications of the process of maturity.
Though it cannot be said that the big beat sound of the
Music Projection was wrong, it must be said that it suffers in
translation. Because it does not typify the qualities of the ma-ture
individual we desire to develop, it must be said that it
was in poor taste.
The blitzkrieg of Israel's six day offensive against
Arabs in June of this year has gone into the trench
warfare stage—that kind of trench warfare which is
fought over mahogany tables in the United Nations.
One of the many issues in the settlement diffi-culties
is the future of Jerusalem. The Israeli's have
annexed it to reunite the long divided citadel of the
world's great religions.
The fact is that both the Arabs and the Israelis
have legitimate claims to the city. Which claims are
more weighty depend on which side of the conflict
any particular individual has championed. The Is-raelis
claim they fought the war to preserve peace.
They have found that as long as the Arabs bear bitter
resentment for the Israelis, there can never be peace.
The number of refugees generated in the war of 1949
were a serious threat to the growth of the Jewish

They believe that their father's
arrest shortly after the election
was intended to "get him out
of the way," in Monique's words.
Otherwise, says David "he would
have been leading the opposition
against Theiu and Ky.," He has
since been released.

But back to the question of how
long the wait in No. 6 should be.
Among the black militarists there
are two major divisions of thought.
One, which we shall call the Black
school, demands power in the ghet-to,
the power to define within the
black community, a power to nego-tiate
with "the white Establish-ment,"
and finally, the power to
amalgamate in America, not be
assimilated, when integration oc-curs.
Both Jim Keim and myself
described more completely these
beliefs in the Clarion last spring.
These goals show a faith in the
American system in general and a
hope that a final solution can be
reached. They believe that riots,
boycotts, marches, etc., can be
channelled into political power re-alities
from which position it will
be easier to negotiate with "The
Man." Adam Clayton Powell and
Dr. Martin Luther King are leaders
that immediately come to mind in
connection to the Black Powerists.
The Uhuru Movement and Black
Panthers, on the other hand, have
abandoned all hope that white
America will ever negotiate and
the only way to deal with "whitey"
is to force them to capitulate.
Since the black community in
America is too weak to force this
by themselves, a world-wide anti-
America campaign must be waged.
Any and all allies must be util-ized.
Cuba, the People's Republic
of China, The United Arab Repub-lic,
and Algeria have all become
allies for the "Black Guerrillas"
since they, too, oppose American
imperialism. The aim of this group
is assimilation or at least separ-ation
(as Malcolm X preached) of
the white communtiy.
A rift between the Black Guer-rillas
and Black Powerists is there-fore
possible, although it is not yet

he also has contacts in Hanoi."
Dzu's organization, the People's
United Front, has 10,000 cadres
working very effectively, accord-ing
to David, "even in areas of
Viet Cong control."
David favors a halt to the bomb-ing.
If this were done, he said
"International pressure from both
Communist and non-Communist
countries could force North Viet-nam
to come to terms."
If the U. S. pulled out of South
Vietnam immediately, said David.
"maybe it would mean a North
Vietnamese takeover: But may be

South Vietnam would be strong
enough to allow non-Communist
elements to stand up against them.
"In my opinion we would be
strong enough," he said. "But we
would have to eliminate all these
undesirable elements. Thieu and
Ky, for example."
in the foreground, for one group
is using violence to cleanse the
American system and the other to
destroy it. One group "keeps the
faith" in America, the other has
given up all hope that we Wasps
will ever act with love.
America will have two warnings
if the Christian ethic is not ap-plied.
The first is just about end-ed.
This period included sit-ins,
ride-ins, and generally all forms of
nonviolent civil disobedience. Last
summer showed this phase is end-ing.
The next warning will be vio-lent

If whites refuse to take even this
warning, the dissenting power will
slip into the Black Guerrilla's
hands and a war of extinction be-tween
blacks and whites may well
result. The choice is partly up to

Israel's Rigid Jerusalem Policy Spits
Into The Face Of Necessary Arab Dignity
for Arab resentment. As long as the Israelis can gloat
over their unture of Jerusalem, the Arabs can never
show their faces proudly in the community of nations.
With the city went all of their pride. Before the Arabs
can effect a vital peace with the Jews they will have
to come to the negotiating table as equals, the Israe-lis
are not allowing the Arabs to do this.
The Israelis have offered the Arabs no face sav-ing
escape through which they can mutually come
to the negotiating table.
Partisanship on the part of citizens in this country
has only made this Arab crisis more acute. By smug-ly
championing the cause of the Israeli underdogs,
Americans have contributed to the persecution com-plex
which plaques most of the Arab nations.
In the interests of peace in the Middle East and
also in the future of both Arab and Israeli, it is
urgent that Israel rescind its rigid position and put
Jerusalem and the occupied territories under neutral
control. JPL

Full Dorms Squeeze Chosen Frosh Postponed CBS Special Focuses
Into Spacious Off-Campus Quarters On Famous Impressionist Pai•nter
What is unofficially titled "Beth-el's
First Frat House," was opened
this fall to four male frosh, yeh,
the green-beany kind. An official
term for these four individuals
might be "off-campus frosh," and
thus titled, they number with the
few in Bethel's history to be so
While the crowded male dorm
situation which precipitated the
boys' off-campus location is con-sidered
unfortunate by some, the
four themselves find this a drama-tic
stroke of luck. The advantages
they can present to their housing
arrangement would make a "dis-advantages"
column unnecessary.

Social Pressure
Works For Dues
In small, personal communities
where people are known on a
first-name basis, a law enforce-ment
branch of government is su-perfluous.
Social control i s
achieved with a mere word or a lift
of the eyebrow.
In the small, personal commu-nity
of Bethel College, social con-trol
and law enforcement can be
achieved by these means. Present
activities in the senior class ex-emplify
well the use of these
personal methods.
With the senior class treasury
sadly depleted, president of the
class, John P. Splinter, has im-posed
upon each class member a
$3 fee for the treasury's restora-tion.
Response to payment of the
fee has been almos ngligible, so
John has resorted to the age-old
tactic of personal confrontation
and lifting of the eyebrow.
If you are a senior class mem-ber
who has not paid his dues,
John "is watching you," and like-ly,
will see that you are made
aware of your own unfulfillment.
John may not be aware of the
sociological orientation of his tac-tic,
but he is going to collect all
senior class dues.
Stabled Horses
Reject Alien
Bethel College owns a tennis
court across the street from the
campus, and it is subsequently,
offers a course on the basics of
tennis. Bethel College also oper-ates
a "stable" adjacent to the col-lege
building, but unfortunatly it
offers no course on horseback rid-ing.
The reason for such a discrep-ancy
in Bethel's course curriculum
will be obvious. The stables house
four temperamental and extreme-ly
skittish Mustangs, all of which
are considered too unruly for any-one
but an experienced horseman.
Owners of the four animals,
Miss Marilyn Heitke, Miss Marilyn
Starr, Mr. Lee Bajuneimi and Mr.
Burton Wessman, agree that the
horses are moody and clannish in
nature. In fact, they appear to
travel in a company, leaving the
stable about 5:00 p.m nighly, and
returning again around 8:00 a.m.
Presently disruptive to the four-some,
however, is a white domes-ticated
mare owned by Mr. Ken
White. Dr. Paul Finlay, stable man-ager,
voices an intent to remove,
by petition, this source of disturb-ance.
Despite the expected onslaught
of winter, the stable will remain

are not in need of pampering and
coddling, say the owners.

Glader's house. Presently main-taining
the household is Bethel
alumnus Ed Anthony and his fam-ily.
Spaciousness is one of the great-est
advantages of the second-story
living headquarters, its occupants
agree. Three rooms and a half
bath divide up the area, one room
serving as a lounge, another as
a kind of dressing-room, and the
third as the bedroom.
The rooms' furnishings were
provided for the boys, but they
have added their own touches to
personalize the atmosphere. Signs
and colorful posters cover the
walls, and are given accentuation
by the colored lighting used. An
orange light has been installed in
the bedroom, a blue light in the
dressing-room, and a red light in
the lounge.

The Bethel Cross Country team

course had been lengthened to
four miles for this meet. Bill Gei-gert,
Rich Swanson, and Steve

placing of Bethel's remaining trot-ters

As of last Saturday, the Bethel harriers completed the
1967 cross country season. The Royals finished the season with
a percentage of .455, winning 5 and losing 6. A number of
highlights made the season a worthwhile one.
The biggest team highlight of the year was running on the
River Falls course. It was the most "unique course" that any
of our team members have ever had the privilege of running on.
Contrary to the basically open field running that the team
was accustomed to in all its other meets, the harriers ran over
bridges, through patches of trees, around ponds, and over,
around, and through other natural hazards (potholes etc.!).
Although the team lost by a close margin, Bill Giegert
and Steve Johnson placed first and second respectively. The
variety of obstacles which such a course provides is ideal for
cross country competition. The Royal team really appreciated
a challenge of this type.
Individually, this year's laurels go to our fine freshman
runner, Bill Giegert. He broke the school record for the Como
Park Course not once,_ not twice, but three times. The new
record of 18:16 which he now holds is a half minute better
than any other previous Bethel runner. In addition, Bill placed
second in the NAIA District 13 Championships.
Finally, Giegert represented Bethel in the Northwest Open,
a five mile race. Out of some 80 participants, Bill placed six-teenth.
Bill's taste for competition, his great desire, and dedica-tion
to the "chore" of long distance running is something that
all of us at Bethel can be proud of.
All of the Royal runners worked hard, and because of
their willingness to do just that, the season was a fairly suc-cessful
one. Coach Traeger, playing the role of interim coach
for this year's team did an excellent job. With a good possi-bility
of all of this year's runners returning next year, the
prospect indeed looks bright for 1968.

What Little Trick Could Help You Get a Lost Wallet Returned?
It costs a lot of money to raise kids, but who knew having them might actually help keep money in your wallet?
A new study has found that people who find wallets with baby pictures inside them are more likely to return them than they are wallets without pictures of any cute lil' buggers. (We know, we know – who carries pictures in their wallet anymore? That's what cell phones are for.)
Researchers in Scotland conducted a test using 240 wallets they left in different areas, all with a mailing address where people who stumbled on the wallets could mail them. Wallets came with either photos of a baby, a puppy, a smiling family, a happy-looking older couple or no photo at all. There were also some wallets with documentation proving the owner had just donated money to charity.
The results?
Eighty-eight percent of the wallets with photos of the baby were mailed back, far ahead of any of the other ones:
- 53% of wallets with the puppy photo were returned
- 48% of wallets with the family photo were returned
- 28% of wallets with the elderly couple were returned
- 20% of wallets with the charity information were returned
- 15% of wallets with no photos were returned
So, what does this mean? Well, for starters, it's time to update your wallet by getting rid of that old and musty Blockbuster Video card. Second, you may want to think about adding some photos of kids -- even if they're not yours. It could save you some serious money.

3. Whatever issues you have with the Ravens' coaching staff, be thankful your team isn't coached by the Browns' Pat Shurmur and his crew.
The past two weeks aren't exactly the kind of games I would point to if I was going to sing the praises of John Harbaugh and his coordinators. Against the Chargers, Harbaugh admitted he screwed up by not using his timeouts at the end of the half, a decision that contributed to the Ravens' falling behind by two scores. Chuck Pagano looked like a first-year coordinator, not a candidate for the next NFL job opening, when he couldn't make an adjustment to slow down Philip Rivers. Even when Cam Cameron makes good calls, the Ravens still struggle at times because they have such awful tempo getting to the line of scrimmage. And Jerry Rosburg's special teams unit had yet another big letdown when Joshua Cribbs returned a punt for a touchdown. But the Browns made two crucial errors Saturday that could have been categorized as funny if they weren't so embarrassing. And even if both errors were ultimately committed by players, both can still be directly attributed to coaching. Seneca Wallace tried to blame himself for Cleveland's inability to come up with points near the end of the first half when the clock was ticking down. He said it was loud in the east end zone of M&T Bank Stadium, that Shurmur was barking, "Clock! Clock! Clock!" in his helmet and he called the wrong play, a handoff to Peyton Hillis. The Ravens tackled Hillis, and time ran out. It seemed, at the time, like it wouldn't matter. But then Cleveland outscored Baltimore 14-3 in the second half. "Its not the head coachs fault. I called 66T, a running play, and it didnt work," Wallace said. "It was a tough situation, but I should have handled it better." That doesn't really let Shurmur off the hook, though. He was the guy burning through his timeouts in the first half like someone was going to steal them if he didn't use them. And even if Wallace did panic and call a bad play, Shurmur still called the play before that one, a pass on which Evan Moore couldn't get out of bounds. The Ravens linebackers aren't exactly suffocating in coverage. Why not take two shots at the end zone and then kick a field goal if you don't cash them in? I realize Wallace is your backup quarterback, but he's also a 9-year veteran. He's not some rookie. Shurmur made an allusion to the headsets not working properly, for whatever that's worth, but when pressed by reporters, he backed away from it. "I need to communicate better, OK? Let's just leave it at that," Shurmur said after the game. Shurmur also couldn't drill it into the heads of his players that the Ravens were probably going to attempt to draw them offside when they came to the line of scrimmage on fourth-and-2 after the two-minute warning. Flacco acknowledged after the game the Ravens didn't have a play called. Ultimately, it was Phil Taylor who jumped offside, but a mental error like that, especially coming out of a timeout, falls on the shoulders of the coaching staff. "John [Harbaugh] was like, 'Theres no way they jump.' " Flacco said. "You never know. In that situation, we got fortunate. You [hope] it isnt going to come down to that. But, hey, it did come down to it. That's what we needed today, and thats what we got." Did the Ravens really not have a play called? "Come on, you guys can figure it out," Flacco said. "The play clock was at two seconds, and we hadn't snapped the ball yet."

OMAHA, Neb.—Warren Buffett's company has continued buying shares of DaVita Inc. throughout November and Berkshire Hathaway now owns nearly 13 percent of the kidney dialysis firm.
Berkshire said Monday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it now owns 12.29 million DaVita shares.
That's up significantly from the 2.7 million shares Berkshire held at the end of last year when it first disclosed the DaVita investment.
Berkshire has been buying DaVita shares regularly this fall. Since last Wednesday, Berkshire has bought 412,050 shares at prices between $109.29 and $112.56 per share.
Denver-based DaVita runs nearly 2,000 outpatient dialysis clinics.
Berkshire's regulatory filings don't say whether Buffett himself or one of his company's two other investment managers made the DaVita investment. Berkshire officials don't typically comment on these filings.

Neuhaus as Lead Investor
Fund: Neuhaus Partners
Posted by Stephan R. Boehm on 2007-09-08
Recently we closed a funding round with Neuhaus Partners as lead investor. The way they structured the deal from their site was professional and fair. Paul Jozefak as our responsible venture partner is straight forward and as a half american he adds value in terms of contacts and connections to our global expansion course beside the money. As our business is rather located in the States than in Europe, we looked at the beginning for an US VC, but pitching and meeting was quite difficult from Germany. With Neuhaus as a german VC company and Paul as Partner with US connections, we found a good solution on that. Our responsible Investment Manager Thomas Golinski is a great guy to talk to and we were never concerned to raise a topic if necessary. So all in all a perfect fit for Emporis and our expansion course.PRIVATE: Members Only
