Must Bethel Relocate? Final Decision Soon
Bethel's long-range planning must decide on expanding the present
location or moving to a new site.
As the year draws to a close,
final recommendations on Bethel's
long range planning are being for-mulated
for presentation to the
Baptist General Conference at its
annual meeting on campus from
June 24-28. President Lundquist
has stated that "converging agree-ment
on long range planning is
apparent" on a possible four point
expansion program:
1. Bethel should definitely plan
to move to a larger campus.
2. We should plan to temporize
on the present campus for the next
five years, but expand sufficiently
to enroll all qualified students who
wish to attend.
____3. During the first three years
a financial campaign be begun to
undergird an eleven million dollar
future development program, and
if successful, that during the last
two years the actual construction
of the buildings begun.
4. Occupancy of a new campus be
aimed for by September, 1966,
with an anticipated enrollment of
nine hundred students.
The final decisions will be made
at a faculty meeting this afternoon
and at a meeting of the Board of
Education on Saturday morning.
The recommendations will be bas-ed
on the findings of the Long
Range Planning Committee under
the chairmanship of Dr. David Mo-berg.
Last year the committee pub-lished
a 285 page report on their
three year survey.
In addition, the joint committee
of the faculty and the board will
consider the report of Dr. M. G.
Neale, special consultant on long
range planning, who has just re-cently
submitted his study. The ar-chitectural
firm of Hammel and
Green has also drawn tentative
plans for both the enlargement of
the present campus and also the
complete relocation at another

Editorials: Responsible, Purposeful Living
Forums, Banquet Praised Needed for a Christ-filled Life
by Jim Nelson
There are some basic prior considerations in un-derstanding
the guidance of God in our lives before
the specific instances are sought out and applied.
We find a few indications as to what these are in
Ephesians 5:15-17 where wisdom is contrasted with
waste and foolishness with fulness.
In verses 15 and 16 the first imperative laid
down by Paul is to walk carefully, making the most
of our time. The person who walks wisely is one
who does not misuse his time or abilities in waste-ful
It is prior considerations such as these that
should underly our sensitivity to the guidance of
God. The underlying "right relationship" to God as
set forth in these verses, namely, the shunning of
wasteful living, sets our inner course in the proper
direction even before we come to places in our lives
where the so-called "big decisions" are made. An-other
way of saying this is that important decisions
always have involved in them small decisions; or,
often it is impossible to make what we call import-ant
decisions without the every-day decisions, that
we often make without thinking, carried out in con-sidered
seriousness and with the intention to avoid
wasteful living.
Verse 17 gives another underlying disposition
that will help us see what God has for us. Foolish-ness
is contrasted with understanding the will of
God. This verse should speak sensitively to many
of us in our foolishness.
As we face the summer, and for some of us,
to places of responsibility which we came to Bethel
to prepare for, it will be important to walk in the
strength of God's will if we are to face the often
unpleasant responsibilities that call for sacrifice
and rigorously purposeful living. Thomas Merton
calls us back to responsible living, shows us the
superficiality of much of our activity, and sets us
into the demands that are basic to God's will in his
prayer: "Untie my hands and deliver my heart from
sloth. Let me be free from laziness that goes about
disguised as activity when activity is not required
to me, and from the cowardice that does what is
not demanded, in order to escape sacrifice."
Our mind and heart should be filled with God,
not the multifarious nonsense that goes with so
much of our teen and post-teen living. I say that
fulness is contrasted with foolishness because in the
very next verse, Paul sets down the imperative
statement, "be filled with the Spirit (v. 18)." Also,
in Cor. 1:9 Paul prays that they may be "filled
with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wis-dom
and understanding." All of life is a sacred dis-position
to God, filled with living that is not dis-sipated
or wasted, and with the knowledge of Hi
will. If our Christian lives are built in this fashion,
thoroughly filled with God, our lives will ever be
seeking to do God's will, for our total response to
Him will cause our every decision to reach out for
His decision for us.
U.S. Views on Cuba Unrealistic
Dalphy Fagerstrom ,flet-6
Most commentators agree that
the Cuban invasion incident was a
tragedy of errors. Criticism of the
CIA is especially bitter but high
American military officials and the
President have also been attacked
by responsible spokesmen. Mean-time,
the paradox of Americans de-nouncing
externally fomented re-volution
while the CIA fomentated
invasion of Cuba mortified many
Americans excruciatingly.
But the Cuban incident raises a
larger question. The United States
is late in recognizing the world's
distresses and has persistently
aligned itself against the pressures
for social and national develop-ment
that are everywhere evident
in underdeveloped areas. Do Cub-ans
respond to Cuba si Yanqui no
only because of Castro's charm?
Or do we find that American in-vestments
primarily for American
advantage persuaded few to ignore
communist propaganda? Forty per
cent of the Cuban sugar industry
was controlled by United States'
investors; the industry employed
one third of the Cuban labor force;
the field workers earned about $400
per year. But Cuba is a small is-land
country. Latin America has
200,000,000 people and one of the
highest birthrates in the world, and
its poor grow poorer. In Chile
three per cent of the landholders
hold 37 per cent of the cultivable
land. They grow richer but do not
raise wages or pay higher taxes.
The daily diet of Indians in Peru
contains about 1200 to 1500 calor-ies.
In Brazil two thirds of the
population lives at subsistence
levels and one child in five dies
before its first birthday. And
Latin America is not exceptional.
Americans have often announced
support for social improvements,
but adequate demonstrations of
this support are rare. Efforts to
aid underdeveloped areas have been
restricted by insistence that social
change be worked out in a clearly
anti-communist framework. Addi-tional
restrictions resulted from
American suspicions of social pro-grams
anywhere in the world that
did not reflect American concep-tions
of free and private enter-prise.
Groups or nations taking a
neutralist stand instead of some
equivalent of a "loyalty oath," or
those utilizing government plan-ning
and a large public sector in
their economies have been restrict-ed.
American aid to Batista on the
basis of his professed anti-com-munism
and the long standing
reservations about India's mixed
economy are cases in point. In no
descriptions of the CIA plans for
Cuba have I seen any indications

"Should Bethel eliminate or dra-stically
reduce its extra-curricular
activities on campus ?" This was
the question confronting the fresh-man
students in one of their Eng-lish
classes recently.
The negative debaters on this
question voiced the shop-worn ar-guments
that extra, time-consum-ing
programs "promote leadership,
healthy bodies and minds, a well-rounded
student, and a person that
is a responsible Christian." How-ever,._
the__ affirmative__ managed
combine original thinking and sta-tistics
to develop a program that
would revolutionize the character
of education at Bethel.
First of all, these proponents of
change contended that the present
system of extra-curriculum takes
too much time from study and that
the students do not merit the ex-tra
activities provided for them.
To cinch the argument the af-firmative
speakers advocated a
three point program to keep stu-dents
hovering over their books.
First, the administration should
set up restrictions of students by
relating their grade point average
to the number and kind of activi-ties
in which they could partici-pate.
Secondly, two weeks should
be set aside during the school year
for the special weeks that Bethel
has. To make up the lost time we
would cut three days from the
Christmas vacation and go an ex-tra
week in June. Third, Bethel
should withdraw from the Badger-
Gopher conference. To fulfill the
need for athletic participation, the
intramural program would be ex-panded
to include more students.
All trips, such as choir, male
chorus, and women's choir, would
be limited to 10 days.
While pessimistically prophesy-ing
doom for this revolutionary
philosophy, it would seem that its
adoption would minimize the need
for additional space for a new
In Senate Evaluation
In evaluating the senate program for this year, one would have to
admit that in general it has been one of varied scope and interest, and
that for the most part, it has been effective. The cultural council,
through fine arts week, its promotion of Twin Cities' cultural events,
and its soap box forums, has added much to the cultural and political
awareness of the college. The social council established well-planned
dressup nights, and the athletic council provided for a more democratic
selection of cheerleaders.
The most successful senate project of the year was the forum ser-ies
initiated by the executive cabinet, followed next by the first annual
all-school banquet. In addition, work was begun on senate reorganiza-tion
and worthwhile leadership retreats were sponsored. Mr. Leafblad
and his cabinet did a commendable job in supervising these activities.
One definite improvement was the establishment of a more efficient of-fice,
which not only facilitated matters this year, but will also show
its benefits in years to come.
Mr. Leafblad, in his "President's Report to the Senate," stated that
he felt that there had been a greater interest in the senate this year,
which he attributed partially to "the increased number of significant
and vital issues with which the senate has been dealing this year." He
then went on to state those which he felt to be especially important. Dur-ing
the course of the year, the senate dealt with such significant na-tional
problems as whether or not "College News Conference" should
be kept on the air, and "concerning matters of this state, the senate
discussed two important problems: racial discrimination in housing and
reduced funds for state mental hospitals."
In regard to the fair housing practices, at a special senate meeting,
the motion was made and carried that "the executive cabinet appoint
a committee to assist the corresponding secretary in sending out mater-ial
of a general educational nature to all pastors of the Minnesota Con-ference
churches; that the cabinet take action to inform and educate
the student body; that the cabinet inform the Minnesota State Legisla-ure
of our views and action."
The significance of this motion is not that it was never implement-ed
by those concerned, but that it reflects the general attitude of the
executive cabinet of trying to assume too many of the responsibilities
for senate work, seeking not only to initiate, but also to execute.
The senate did deal with the formation of campus policy on the
use of the fieldhouse and although it is not mentioned in the president's
report, the executive board was able to secure special permission for
off-campus upperclassmen to choose whether or not they wish to par-ticipate
in the budget meal plan.
However, during the year there was a definite lack of coordination
and a seeming lack of rapport between the council chairmen and the
executive cabinet. The religious council failed to accomplish all that had
been planned at the beginning of the year; the sponsoring of only two
special events hardly substitutes or compensates for an effective, well-rounded
In the future, the senate should define and follow a definite budget
policy. In two specific instances, one involving the social council, and
the other, the cultural council, the senate was challenged and forced
to deal with problems which never should have arisen. This either re-flects
an ineffectual budgeting process or else a poor communications
system between the councils and the executive cabinet.
In spite of these difficulties, it has been a progressive year. As the
newly elected senate assumes leadership in the fall, it can be hoped
that they will continue in the areas where this year's senate has made
definite accomplishments, that they will strengthen the weaker parts of
the program, and that they will develop newer areas of service.

After graduation — then what?
This question confronts every lib-eral
arts students, especially those
who are seniors this year. More
advanced studies in their fields of
concentration await many at grad-uate
school, while for most of the
men, time must be alloted to ful-fill
the military obligation.
Some of the seniors are still in
the process of selecting an area of
interest in which to specialize. In
the not-too-distant future, each
student will have to make import-ant
decisions, such as choosing a
life's partner. The future, with all
its prospects and uncertainties,
leave the graduate with many ap-prehensions
and, in many cases,
In order to present a cross-sec-tion
of the seniors' plans, we have
questioned them at random con-cerning
their futures. Following
are their replies.
Phil Peterson, a socioligy major-is
interested in the area of city
planning and management. He is
uncertain whether he will first
enter graduate school or enter the
U.S. Views
(cont'd. from p. 2)
of positive plans for social reform
rather than grudging acceptance of
some of Castro's social changes;
and the American approved anti-
Castro leader, Miro Cardona, as-serted
that "we emphatically as-sure
those who have been unjustly
dispossessed that all of their assets
will be returned."
The dreadful truth is that if we
are ever to find major social and
economic forces of the modern
world working with us instead of
against us, we must take our views
of what is acceptable social and
economic policy out of a strait-jacket.
We must recognize the dis-tresses
in the world and we must
recognize the fact that significant
improvement will inevitably in-volve
tax and land policies that
dissent radically from widely held
American concepts of property
rights and will involve government
planning, controls, and initiative
that many influential Americans
decry as socialism. Americans will
have to sanction and probably pro-mote
drastic redistribution of
wealth and extensive government
regulation in many areas in order
to foster gradual change instead
of violent revolution.
Adoption of such viewpoints re-quires
a considerable shift for
many Americans. After all, at this
very hour, a comparatively modest
plan of medical care for the aged
under social security is under
heavy fire as "socialistic."

Editor's note : We would like
to allay the fears of several
people on campus that the
CLARION was attempting a sci-entific
analysis of student opin-ion
in its recent poll question on
a projected move of the campus.
Such a survey would hardly be
within the capabilities of the
staff in either time, expense, or
thoroughness. The era of the
burlap mail sack ended long be- 1
fore Gallup and Roper instituted
their well-known analyses. The •
CLARION poll was intended to
have about the significance of a
straw vote.
The somewhat dazzling pros-pects
of a new "dream campus"
have been the topic of several
chapel addresses, written articles,
careful planning and investigation,
and casual discussion during this
year as well as on previous occas-ions.
Because this emphasis has
been made the CLARION thought
it would be interesting to see even
a rough outline of student opin-ion
on the matter.
Moving away from the present
site to a new location was the pre-ference
upheld by the majority of
the students who returned their
questionnaires. This opinion was
held with the following qualifica-tions:
"if it is reasonable from an
economic point of view" or "if
Bethel is adequately going to ful-fill
the needs of the Baptist Gen-eral
Conference, then it is neces-sary
that a new location is taken."
One student, marking his ballot
on the affirmative side remarked,
"We should expand where there is
room for further expansion when
necessary. Short foresight may
prove to be long-range disaster."
Someone felt that "The facilities
of the science and art laboratories
are seriously outmoded. The auto-mobile
parking problem would also
be alleviated."
Senate Council
Heads Chosen
On May 10 and 11, the student
senate met in special session to
nominate and elect the chairmen
for the four senate councils and
the publications' editors. After
general nomination by the sena-tors,
the voting was done by secret
Dick Larson was chosen to head
the athletic council, and Shirley
Stearns was elected as chairman
of the cultural council. Planning
the social events for the coming
year will be Carole Lundquist, and
Lee Eliason will be directing the
religious activities on campus.
Lois Bradshaw submitted the
name of Sharon Dickau for CLAR-ION
editor, and Miss Dickau was
accepted by unanimous consent.
Ann Friberg reported that the
SPIRE staff had no recommenda-tions
to make and left the selec-tion
of the yearbook editor to the
senate. After several nominations,
Liz Carlson and Karen Neslund
were chosen to serve as co-editors.
The value of a modern, well-organized
campus in a planned de-velopment
program was recogniz-ed
and "although a good campus
does not make a good college, it
draws good students and good fac-ulty."
Spiritual guidance was mention-ed
by several as a salient factor
no matter what plans were devel-oped
but particularly by those de-siring
the move. Someone lamented
that "too many Christians fail to
`step out' in faith." The predomin-ant
motif of this thinking was that
"This move can only justifiably be
accomplished by the leadership of
God Himself."
The small minority who wanted
to expand the present facilities of-fered
very few opinions to support
their decision. However, someone
felt that "we need mor emphasis
on quality, academically speaking,
before we need to expand our fac-ilities."
Someone departed completely
from the choices that were offer-ed
on the questionnaire and just
commented that "I would like to
see either the college or the sem-inary
move out. A separation of
the graduate school (seminary)
from the undergraduate will help
raise the academic standing of the
One "indifferent" student with
some anti-social tendencies said,
"I would rather have a room to
myself in a house. The dorm is too
noisy and it is hard to get much
studying done."
In the more "crack-pot" type of
commentary, someone (a girl?)
wanted "To get away from the
west,winds off the ag campus."
The existing state of conditions
was quite cogently stated, "In ten
years it will take an hour to get
to the CLARION mail sack."
Maybe the sentiments of many
were well expressed by one person
who thought that Bethel should
move out and then remarked, "Yes,
but I think this is stupid. We don't
know enough to make a valid deci-sion.
If the Long-range Planning
Committee has been meeting for
two years and are not sure, how
are we to be?"

Tennis Squad Wins
In Tournament Play
Milton Edges
Royals, 4-3
Bethel was defeated twice in
last Saturday's conference champ-ionship
playoffs, leaving a fourth
place finish for the squad. Milton
edged the Royals 4-3 in the first
game and Lakeland did the dam-age
in the night cap, 12-9.
Milton pulled a ninth inning, do-or-
die winning run rally to edge
the Royals. The Milton foes, who
went on to win the championship
were faced by Bethel hurler John
Jack McNaughton's smashing
single plated the walking Dave
Cox for Bethel's first tally. In the
second frame, Holmberg belted a
single to bring home the singling
Curt Hallstrom. Bethel's final run
came when back-to-back singles
by Don McKelvey and Hallstrom
were followed by a wild throw
Which enabled McKelvey to score.
Hallstrom and Holmberg both
had two hits to lead the Royals
near upset of a favored Milton
Lakeland overpowered Bethel 12-
9 in the second tilt of the day.
Each team clouted 13 hits as bat-ters
on both sides had a field day.
The sixth inning proved to be dis-astrous
for Bethel as Lakeland tal-lied
six times to overcome a pre-vious
7-4 Bethel lead as three
Royal pitchers were used. The
Royals hit singles in the seventh
and eighth frames, but the cata-strophic
sixth put the opponents
out of reach.
Don McKelvey had three hits in-cluding
a double and two runs bat-ted
in. Dave Cox, Bob Smith, and
Jack McNaughton had two hits

Hames continued his fine play
on the second nine and finished
with a 37 and Mattson finished
with a steady 39 for his 76 stroke
total. The pair of 76's was too
much for Milton as their top two
men could manage only a 77 and
an 81. Johnson finished with a re-spectable
78 while Malaise shot 86
to draw with his opponent from
Milton. Tom Foote shot 37-40 to
lead Milton, but the challengers
from Wisconsin finished 10 team
strokes behind the Royals, who
totaled 316 team strokes. Milton
finished with 326 while Lakeland
and Northland were far behind
with 351 and 369.

The depth of the Bethel tennis
team was the determining factor
as they clinched the Badger-Gopher
tennis championship held this year
on the Bethel College and Hamline
university courts. Entered in the
tournament from Bethel were Dick
Larson and Roger Jackson in sin-gles,
and Larry Peterson and Jerry
Dahlin in the doubles. These net-men
along with Gary Scull and Ed-die
Carlson have compiled a 6-2
record against small area colleges
earlier this spring.
Larson and Jackson, number one
and two men respectively, did an

Paced by another outstanding
performance from Fred Purcell,
Bethel finished second in the con-ference
meet held Saturday, May
20, at Alexander Ramsey high
school. Lakeland, paced by Kue-cherer
who won three events, the
high jump, broad and low hurdles,
was victorious.
Distance runner Purcell won the
half-mile (2.06.9), mile (4.45), two
mile (10.41.1) and anchored the
victorious sprint medley team. His
times for the mile and two mile
broke conference records.
Once again Paul Sloan af-forded
Purcell strong backing in
the mile and two mile events by
finishing second in each one. Ron
Swanson, the Royals number two
point-getter in the meet, tied for
second in the high jump and fin-ished
second in both the high and
low hurdles.
Other individuals who placed
were Stan Engstrom, second in the
shotput; Jan Kolbrek, a tie for
second in the pole vault, and Les
Weigum, third in the low hurdles.
The mile relay team composed of
Larry Bradshaw, Bruce Erickson,
Bob Baffa, and Jan Kolbrek fin-ished
admirable job in the sudden-death
singles tournament. Larson drew
a bye in the first round and col-lected
three points. He then went
on to blast his second round oppon-ent
6-2, 6-4, in a well-fought bat-tle.
Meanwhile Jackson was defeat-ing
Steve Sheldon of Northwestern,
Minneapolis, by a decisive, 6-1, 6-0
score. Jackson then met Tom
Spiegleberg of Northwestern, Wis-consin,
in an aggressive see-saw
battle that saw Spiegleberg win,
6-4, 2-6, 7-5. Larson met defeat
in the semi-finals when Lakeland's
Jim Bury out-lasted him, 6-0, 7-5.
Bury later went on to win the
singles championship by defeating
Milton's speed-merchant, Lew Lun,
6-2, 5-7, 6-1.
The doubles tournament was not
run on the sudden-death, bracket
basis. Each doubles team played
each of the other five teams once,
collecting three points for every
win plus an additional three points
for the team with the most wins.
Each win consisted of ten or more
games with the winner ahead of
the opponent by at least two
At this point, the experience and
depth of the Bethel team became
evident. Larry Peterson and Jerry
Dahlin, playing third and fourth
positions all season were teamed
in the doubles competition.
Dahlin and Peterson accepted
the challenge and went on to down
their first three opponents in order
before bowing to a powerful Lake-land
combination. They came back
in their fifth match, however,
sweeping honors by defeating
Northwestern, Wisconsin.
Thus, by virtue of two wins and
a bye in the singles plus four wins
and a three point bonus in the dou-bles
competition, Bethel emerged
triumphant with twenty - four
Northwestern, Wisconsin all tied
points, while Milton, Lakeland, and
for second place with twenty-one
points each.
A strong back nine turned a
close match into a near route Sat-urday
and brought an unprece-dented
third straight Badger-Go-pher
conference golf crown to
Bethel college. Don Mattson and
Bob Hames turned in co-medalist
scores of 76 to lead the way as the
Royals triumphed over Milton,
Lakeland, and Northland on a

International Studies Abroad ®est. 1987

Studying abroad in France provides students a unique look at the deep values of a nation united in cultural pride and tradition. While participating in French immersion, business or arts programs at different French colleges, ISA students encounter a picture-perfect landscape, important architectural and historical structures and world-renowned arts and entertainment.
The allure of France as a study abroad destination lies in its inspirational effect on curious minds, making it a non-stop learning environment and an academic threshold. Not surprisingly, France yields some of the largest, most progressive, prosperous, and high-tech cities in Europe, if not of the world.
Yet the country is also strewn with small towns and villages, rich in their own right and the destination of travelers time and time again. Exploring any combination of these urban and rural landscapes that are so integral to France's identity is sure to result in a meaningful, life-changing study abroad experience, fulfilling the academic goals of students, and then some.
ISA offers programs in two French Cities: Paris and Lille. In Paris, students may choose to study at one of three universities. The Institut Catholique de Paris hosts French summer programs, arts summer programs and semester/year programs. The Sorbonne hosts semester and year programs in French language and culture. ISA's business programs in Paris are offered through the American Business School Paris. Students seeking to study in Lille will have the opportunity to attend the Université Catholique de Lille, which offers courses in various disciplines during the summer.
France is a country in Western Europe, sharing borders with Spain and Andorra to the southwest and Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, and Belgium to the east.
It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the English Channel.
Generally speaking, France can be described as temperate. The peak travel season of April through October yields a range of temperatures.
While April and May visitors experience cool, rainy weather, visitors during the summer months enjoy warm days with occasional bouts of extreme heat that can make temperatures reach into the 90s and 100s during the day.
Summer evenings provide relief with temperatures scaling down to the 60s and 70s.
Fall brings cooler weather, and winters tend to be cold, drizzly, sometimes freezing and snowy, with temperatures occasionally dropping below zero.
Temperatures increase when traveling south in the country.
Since 1987, ISA has offered quality study abroad programs for undergraduate students. ISA has a wide variety of study abroad programs at accredited schools and universities throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and The Pacific.
We are proud to have joined the WorldStrides organization, the largest and most trusted educational travel company in the world. Founded in 1967, WorldStrides has grown to provide global educational programs for 400,000 students annually.

What's slow-moving, low-energy, a little bit tedious but 100 percent heart-warming? If you guessed a senior citizen flash mob in a Kansas Target, you're correct. It's in the running for the cutest thing you'll see this season (those kids in Alaska are up there, too) and if this doesn't make you smile, it's possible you're dead inside.
The fun-loving elders don't let those pesky walkers get in their way of a spontaneous-yet-well-planned dance party. They get down to Glee's cover of "Last Christmas" like it could be their, well, last Christmas, and they don't care who knows it. Prepare to (slowly) rock out!
And prepare to be inspired call your grandma after this because you'll want to let her know how awesome you think she is. And how you think she should quit the garden club and instead take up flash mobbing.
The woman in charge here seems to be the sexy lady in the gray-green top, black slacks, orthopedic shoes, and a heart around her neck -- she really takes the energy level up from a two to a solid three. There's a lot of hand-waving, an inordinate amount of hot pink walkers, and a ton of smiles. I wish God loved me enough to have let me be at that Target when this all went down because my goodness it looks like a barrel of fun.
I hope this is just the beginning of old folks flash mobs. Forget the knitting classes and water aerobics at the retirement homes; let's turn our respected geriatrics into flash mob fiends!
Watch and enjoy:
What do you think? Awesome, right?

What is the danger?
That a machine will have 'malware' loaded onto it. This will then allow criminals to use it to send spam (often promoting pornography), hack other computers, make it dial up premium rate numbers, or steal information from it, including bank account numbers and passwords. In bad cases bank accounts can be stolen, in extreme cases identity theft is possible. The risks are mainly financial, but if a machine is captured by pornographers, they may also be legal. In the UK, for example, the existence of some kinds of material on a computer is going to be a strict liability offence. The onus is going to be on the holder to prove he/she was not the agent/owner, and it may not be easy.
How bad is it?
Bad and worsening. Here is one example. USA Today, in November 2004, set up 6 machines on the net and observed the results. In two weeks they attracted 306,000 attacks, and an XP SP1 machine was broken into in four minutes. The Denver Post did the same thing in February 2005, and attracted 45,000 attacks in a week. This is the risk from simply being connected. To it, you have to add user actions - unwittingly visiting fraudulent and malicious sites, receiving malicious emails or attachments. There have been 100,000+ Windows viruses, 2,500 Windows spyware releases, and some studies show 80% of home PCs may be infected with spyware broadly defined. The latest thing is Windows rootkits - essentially undetectable infections.
Who is at risk, and from who?
Anyone connecting to the net with Windows 95, 98, ME, or XP with Service Pack 1 or lower. Broadband makes the risk much greater. Fully up to date versions of XP SP2 are much less at risk. People running Unix based systems (including MacOS and Linux flavours) are much less at risk. People running firewalls are also much less at risk.
Basically, connect Windows XP SP1, 98 or 95 to the net without a firewall, and the evidence is, you'll likely be hacked within an hour. You are almost certain to get infected if you (or your children) use music sharing software, or if you agree to download and install software as a condition for free access to some kinds of services. Downloading ring tones for mobiles is a common source of infection. Downloading bootleg software (so called warez) is another.
You can find out how secure your machine is to some kinds of attacks by going to Steve Gibson's Shields Up site: https://www.grc.com (go to the Shields Up section) to test the vulnerability of your firewall and system. Recommended. This tells you about liability to incoming attacks. Leak Test, from the same site, will tell you whether your firewall protects from outbound leakage.
The perpetrators are mostly criminals in it for profit. The days of the amateur teenage hacker in a suburban bedroom are over.
If I follow these recommendations am I safe?
No. You are safer. You are still running an Operating System with a proven record of security faults in a network environment. And this guide is not a complete account of the subject.
Are there alternatives to these recommendations?
Yes. Plan B is: go to a Unix based Operating System, like Linux or MacOS or one of the BSDs. Here are some thoughts on this one.
It helps because there's been far less malware. Probably under 50 real viruses for both MacOS and Linux, even less for Commercial Unix. Spyware is so far unknown (according to Webroot).
Linux or BSD will run on your existing machine side by side with Windows. It is also free, so this is the cheapest of the Plans B. However, don't try moving to Linux or a BSD without help. Your helper should agree to be available for support for six months after the installation. MacOS, which is similarly or maybe more secure, and also Unix based, one probably can do unaided. But you need a whole new computer for it, and new versions of your applications, so it gets expensive. The Mac Mini is worth considering if you are tempted.
The best bet in Linux/Unix for the end user is probably PCLinux, available free for download over the net as a single CD iso. Mepis is also very good. Either will come, free, with all the applications you are likely to need, including Office packages. Maybe fewer games than you would like. In BSDs, PCBSD and DesktopBSD are end-user oriented distributions. They are so far a lot less popular than the Linuxes.
How to safeguard Windows? Four rules go a long way.
Rule 1. Use a limited user account for normal work, and for connection to the net. Never connect from an account with administration privileges.
How to do this. Use the Users and Passwords control panel to create a new Administrator account. Reset your current account to limited user. Then only use the Administrator account to manage the system, install software etc, and then sign off. Never connect to the net when signed on as Administrator, except to do Windows Update. Enable privacy between user accounts, and have separate user accounts for everyone who uses the computer. Make a separate dedicated limited user account for shopping & banking.
Why this helps. Any attacks made on you while on the net will have the same privileges as the account you signed on with. (There have been some exceptions, but this is mostly true for up to date systems). Administrator accounts can do anything at all to the system. Limited user accounts can do relatively little. Signing on as a limited user restricts the attacker's options. Microsoft's default on this is for you to sign on as administrator. It is as if, in an hotel, every guest key opened all guest rooms and the main safe, kitchen and boiler room as well. Change it.
Note1: Windows 9x has only one account, so this won't work with 95 or 98 or ME. Either upgrade to XP, but its not simple, or consider buying Anti-Executable from www.faronics.com. Learn to use it to lock down your machine. Note that I have not used this package - the recommendation comes from the product specification, user guide, and testimonials. Also use ZoneAlarm (below) to disconnect from Broadband when not actively using it.
Note2: Some older software, and all CD burning software, will have problems running as a limited user. Use the 'run as' function (right click on the program icon) to run them as Administrator.
Rule 2. Connect to Broadband via an ADSL Router, never just an ADSL modem.
How to do this. Either ask your provider to supply Broadband with an ADSL Router, or buy a combined modem/router yourself (cheapest by mail order). Make sure you have the right PC ports to connect it up and that you get cables. If you have a choice, use an Ethernet connection, in preference to USB. Find out how to address the hardware firewall it will have in it, and set it to high protection if it isn't already.
Why this helps. If you just connect via a modem, your machine will be visible to hackers worldwide. If you use a Router, it will use a private address for your machine, and the only thing visible on the net will be the Router (a much harder target). If you set the hardware firewall to high, the router also will be invisible.

Hi Everyone,
I'm one of those moms who says, "I never thought I'd still be nursing....." I am happy that nursing has worked out so well for my soon-to-be 3 year-old daughter and me such that we are still nursing, and I have been able to commit to child-led weaning. (I am also, incidentally, thrilled for the information from LLLI that has supported me and helped me feel "normal" as we continue on this journey that seems so strange to so many people we know.)
But, I am now looking to experienced moms for some encouragement. My period has not yet returned, and I think I am in the camp of women who will not re-gain their fertility until they are done nursing altogether. I am anxious about this. I am almost 40, and I had hoped to have one more child after my daughter was born. I'm not sure it's in the cards at this point, but I still hope for the possibility. Yet, I want to be responsive to my daughter's needs, and the prospect of weaning seems really stressful. She is a very attached little girl, and nursing is still part of her nighttime, morning, and naptime. I am starting to despair that she'll never want to wean (!), and that I'll never be fertile again.
I guess my questions are (1) will children *really* wean on their own if we leave it to them? and (2) has anyone else experienced such a delayed onset of fertility related to nursing?
I know there will be some who say I have to get tough and just wean, but I'm not at that point right now. I'd really appreciate any other advice.

Please see MacBook Aluminum for newest 5,1 and 5,2 unibody Macbook Pros or MacBook for general Macbook information.
also see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation
Installing Arch Linux on MacbookPro
These instructions could work for the most part for the regular MacBook.
You will need Arch Linux 0.8 alpha3 or newer at least since GRUB and the kernel will work fine from this version.
Arch Only System
To install Arch and replace OSX you need to change the partition table type in Mac OS X from bootcamp. Download bootcamp, install and run. Change disk from GPT to MBR partition table.
Reboot, hold down the "C" key to boot from CD.
Install Arch as normal. Do not forget to set one partition as bootable.
After install you need to configure a couple of things...
Dual Boot (Arch & Mac OS X)
Another way
- Prepare:
- Arch Linux Install CD
- Begin to install
1. Resize the partition with Disk Utils in Mac OS X
2. Install REFI in Mac OS X.
3. Boot to Arch Linux Installation CD
1) pacman -S gpt-fdisk and install 'gptsync' package from AUR
2) gptsync /dev/sda4 # TODO is this required?
3) partition with gdisk. # type code must be 0700
4) gptsync /dev/sda4 # TODO is this required?
5) begin install with /arch/setup, but don't install bootloader
6) gptsync /dev/sda4
7) install bootloader to /dev/sda3 manually. # be careful, not /dev/sda
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda4 # edit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst
Other ways: Two possibilities:
- Install Bootcamp, resize the Mac OS X partition
When Mac OS X installation is finished. Go on http://refit.sourceforge.net and download rEFIT (Mac disk image)
To install rEFIT, mount the rEFIT.dmg file (it is normally automatic).
There is an other way (refer to rEFIT documentation) but you can open a terminal then you copy /Volumes/rEFIT/efi/ to /
# cp -r /Volumes/rEFIT/efi /
To install rEFIT :
# cd /efi/refit/ # ./enable.sh
Now we can synchronized MBR with GPT partition table thanks to rEFIT so you restart your computer. You can see rEFIT, you press down key to access to the Partitioning Tool. You press y to accept.
Put your Arch Linux CD in the CD-ROM drive first then restart the computer. You can press C to boot from the CD or you can choose it in the rEFIT menu.
Now it is the typical Arch Linux installation.
At the end of the installation DO NOT install the bootloader in the MBR, but in a partition (e.g. sda3). This may add complications; see below.
Macs are partitioned using the EFI system, which GRUBv1 is not compatible with. Some versions of GRUB2 are compatible - however, GRUB2 is not on the installation CD as of the 2011.08.19 release. In order to work around this, rEFIt creates a MBR (Master Boot Record), which must be updated every time the partitions are modified or reformatted. However, only the first 4 partitions are put into the MBR; if you are dual booting, those first two will belong to the regular macbook installation.
To install Arch Linux with GRUB as a dual-boot, follow these steps (tested on a Macbook Pro(6,2)):
- Use the Disk Utility to resize your Mac partition, and create new partitions for your Linux installation. These can be formatted to anything - the Arch installation can reformat them as ext3 or ext4. Make sure that the / partition AND the /boot partition are BOTH in the first four partitions - or simply do not have a separate /boot partition, it isn't necessary.
- Install rEFIt as above, reboot, and update the MBR (choose "Start Partitioning Tool" from the rEFIt menu on boot)
- Insert the Arch Linux installation CD, reboot, and boot from the CD.
- Install Arch Linux, choosing a GRUB bootloader installation, but being careful to hit CANCEL when asked to install it to the MBR. The installation will consider this section 'FAILED', which is true, but we will take care of this.
- Reboot, update the MBR (same as step 2), and boot from the CD.
- Now we install GRUB:
# cd / # mount -t ext3 /dev/sdaN /mnt # where sdaN is the location you installed to. # mount -t ext3 /dev/sdaM /mnt/boot # where sdaM is the location of the /boot partition, if you have a separate one # mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc # mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sys # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev # chroot /mnt /bin/bash # grub grub> root (hd0,M-1) grub> setup (hd0,M-1) grub> quit # reboot
- From the rEFIt menu on boot, choose "Boot Linux from Partition X"<\li>
Now you are at an Arch Linux command-line.
Make sure your rc.conf at least has the following modules:
MODULES=(sky2 fglrx speedstep_centrino)
For CPU scaling use the powernowd package.
pacman -S ati-fglrx-utils
A sample
xorg.conffollows (Outdated! See Xorg Input Hotplugging):

OR you can just make the necessary changes: (ADD these to your xorg.conf, do not replace)
Configure Xorg using xorgconfig. Once done edit your "xorg.conf" and change the driver type to "fglrx".

The airport card in the newest MacBook (PCI-ID 168c:0024) is not yet supported by Madwifi. In short: Madwifi does not yet have a version of the (binary-only) HAL (hardware-abstraction layer) for the new chipset and ETA is unknown. Workaround: If your kernel is 32-bit, you can use ndiswrapper in combination with the 32-bit windows driver for the D-Link DWA-645. It is ugly, but it works. Some ubuntu users report it working with 64-bit too, albeit some have issues with WPA1/2.
Madwifi drivers work on my second generation MBP following these instructions.
Pommed handles the hotkeys and is able to adjusts the LCD backlight, sound volume, keyboard backlight or to eject the CD-ROM drive.
Pommed is in [community], there is also a GUI built on GTK (gpomme)
Suspend works most of the time (occasionally it dose not wake up) with the latest version of pm-utils.
sudo pacman -S pm-utils
Run the following to test suspension. (Pressing the power button, plugging in a usb device, or closing/opening the lid will resume.)
sudo pm-suspend
To suspend on closing of laptop lid, make sure you have acpi, and acpid installed with pacman, and that the acpid daemon is running. Then edit /etc/acpi/handler.sh and change the "button/lid)" section to look like the following:
button/lid) #echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5 if grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state then pm-suspend fi ;;
Acpid calls the button/lid) section whenever the lid is opened or closed. If pm-suspend is just added to this section, it will suspend when the lid is opened, and when the lid is closed. Causing it to wake up, and then immediately suspend again when you open the lid. Checking to see if the lid is closed with grep and only running pm-suspend when the lid is closed fixes this issue.
I WILL get around to doing these! I promise! In the mean time I just put them here to remind me to do them.
- make package for refit (EDIT: refit is actually in [community])
- make section for isight

Taiwan-based makers together shipped 351.4 million small- to medium-size TFT-LCD panels in the second quarter of 2014, increasing 16.8% sequentially but decreasing 2.8% on year, according to Digitimes Research.
In particular, shipments of panels for handsets rose 17.9% sequentially and took up 75.3% of total shipments, up 0.7ppt from the previous quarter, Digitimes Research indicated. Shipments of car-use panels also grew on quarter due to increased orders from Japan-based automakers.
LTPS panels accounted for 11.5% of total shipments, up 0.5ppt on quarter.
As Taiwan-based makers have modified large-size panel manufacturing equipment for producing small- to medium-size applications and have not added LTPS production capacities, they may face issues in making in mid-range and high-end panels.
This article is an excerpt from a Digitimes Research Quarterly Data Report (Taiwan small- to mid-size LCD panels – 2Q 2014). Visit our latest Data reports.

We really focused on ways to make the equipment easier to maneuver, climb stairs, transport, and control
Mukilteo, WA (PRWEB) May 04, 2012
U.S. Products, a leading manufacturer of carpet and floor cleaning equipment, announces it is introducing its all-new HydraPort™ heated hot-water extractor series today at the Connections Tradeshow to be held in Clearwater Beach, Florida, May 2 through May 5, 2012.
The HydraPort series is made up of five models, including one system designed for cleaning carpet as well as concrete, stone, and tile floors.
According to Mark Baxter, product manager for U.S. Products, the HydraPort series is the "culmination of a major engineering and design initiative within the company. It all started with direct input from cleaning technicians who use portable extraction equipment every day."
Along with emphasizing better performance and enhanced worker productivity, Baxter adds that a number of significant, patent pending redesigns were incorporated, including:
- The solution tank filling site was relocated so that spills do not come in contact with any electrical components or switches. "[This is a] safety change that is long overdue with most portable extractors," says Baxter.
- The recovery tank has been designed for faster and more complete emptying, "something else cleaning technicians will be happy to hear about."
- All HydraPort models have a redesigned transport handle, side handle, front roller wheels, and oversized rubber grip rear wheels.
"Making the machine easier to transport and more ergonomic was a key concern," adds Baxter. "We really focused on ways to make the equipment easier to maneuver, climb stairs, transport, and control."
As with most U.S. Products extractors, all HydraPort systems have in-line heaters producing 212 degrees (F) at the wand tip.
This enhances cleaning power. Further, the machines also have a sealed vacuum system that muffles sound so they can be used in noise-sensitive settings.
"These machines are the result of hours and hours of interviews, thought, and planning," says Baxter. "We really believe they will be well received at the Connections show."

Biological Sciences
Research Highlights
March 2012
Digging Deeper in the Dirt
Targeted metagenomic analyses reveal underground microbes that may influence and alter contaminant fate and transport at Hanford Site
Results: Inherited from a legacy of nuclear production, the Hanford Site is very dynamic belowground where contaminants, such as uranium and nitrate, may react with microorganisms in ways that affect their movement through the subsurface. In a recent study of subsurface sediments at this southeastern Washington State site, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory characterized the vertical distribution of microbes over multiple geologic formations.
They found these organisms can influence groundwater geochemistry as a consequence of biogeochemical activities, such as the reduction of sulfate, iron, and nitrate. Based on their findings, the scientists identified transition zones in the sediment layers, including an active zone where they believe cycling between oxidized and reduced forms of chemicals is occurring.
Relative abundances of phylogenetic and functional microbial groups, normalized to total Bacteria and Archaea 16S rRNA gene copy numbers. Upper and lower dotted lines represent the Hanford-Ringold contact and Ringold oxic-anoxic interface, respectively (from Lin et al., 2012, Applied and Environmental Microbiology 78(3):759-767).
Why It Matters: These analyses will improve understanding of the site's subsurface microbial ecology and help clarify how microbial communities affect fate and transport of contaminants in the sediments and groundwater as well as the cycling of other naturally occurring elements.
Dr. Allan Konopka, PNNL Laboratory Fellow and head of the microbiology group at PNNL, explained: "To predict the extent to which the indigenous microbial community can affect the fate and transport of contaminants through groundwater, it's essential to determine how the distribution of specific microbes and geochemical conditions interact to create 'hot spots' of microbial activity."
In the past, the impact of microorganisms that transform contaminants in the subsurface was given relatively little consideration in environmental management of the Department of Energy's Hanford Site. Hence, little research exists on the site's underground microorganisms.
But during the last decade, scientists have realized the importance of microbial biogeochemical reactions on contaminants. These reactions can modify contaminant solubility, result in the precipitation or dissolution of mineral phases, and transform other elements in ways that can impact groundwater quality. This study not only fulfills a need to elucidate Hanford's subsurface microbial ecology, but it may support future efforts for understanding how microorganisms may impact subsurface contaminant plumes at Hanford as they migrate towards the Columbia River.
Methods: The scientists recovered subsurface sediments from a 52-m-deep borehole cored in the Hanford Site's 300. They performed microbial analyses on 17 sediment samples across multiple geologic formations: the oxygen-containing, or oxic, coarse-grained Hanford formation; the oxic, fine-grained upper Ringold formation; and the reduced Ringold formation.
The researchers extracted DNA from the cores and used quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to amplify fragments of genes that were diagnostic for particular biogeochemical processes, such as denitrification and sulfate reduction. They then were able to analyze the sequence of these amplified fragments and determine which specific microbes were most abundant in mediating these processes in the subsurface.
Their research showed that the most elevated biomass levels occur in the Hanford formation, while strata below 17.4 m (such as the Ringold formation) had significantly less biomass. Further, they were able to relate the heterogeneity in sediment properties that occurs vertically, such as contact between the Hanford and Ringold formations, as well as the boundary between oxidized and reduced Ringold sediments, to differences in the functional properties of the microbial community.
Analysis of groundwater geochemistry demonstrated a redox gradient in the 1.5-m region between the Hanford-Ringold contact and the Ringold oxic-anoxic interface. Analyses showed that the region just below the contact between the Hanford and Ringold formations is likely a zone of active biogeochemical redox cycling.
What's Next? Future work will determine the rates at which these bacteria drive biogeochemical reactions in the Hanford Site subsurface. In particular, it will be important to determine what compounds serve as natural energy sources for the native microbial populations that catalyze the biotransformation of natural compounds and environmental contaminants.

Aboriginal Presence in the Rouge Valley
Aboriginal Presence in the Rouge Valley
The Late Woodland period of 800 A.D. to 1650 A.D. spans the origins of various Iroquoian speaking tribal confederacies in southern Ontario, including the Huron, Petun, and Neutral.
Stone projectile points and tools, pottery fragments, and other artifacts have been found scattered across farmlands in the Rouge River floodplain over the past several decades. These artifacts date back to the Late Woodland Period. Concentrations of these artifacts and the discovery of ossuaries, or burial pits, point to the existence of semi-permanent aboriginal villages throughout what is now the City of Markham.
One of the more significant discoveries was made in the 1870s by Thomas A. Milne, a local mill owner, who collected artifacts found on his farm. The mainly "flint arrowheads, tomahawks, pipes, etc." were put on display in the office of the Markham Economist newspaper. The Milne family were still collecting artifacts from their property as late as 1921. Archaeologists believe they were from a village that once stood within what is today the Milne Conservation Area.
Another of the early archaeological discoveries was a large ossuary that was found in the 1950s on the west bank of the Rouge River, south of Highway 7. The many artifacts found prove that there was a year-round Aboriginal community in Markham long before the arrival of European settlers in the 1700s.

While talking cars only appear in the movies, your vehicle can still communicate using its own language. Sounds like squealing, thumping, hissing and grinding are all signs that your vehicle may be trying to tell you something, says the Car Care Council.
"It's important for car owners to listen and act accordingly when their vehicle speaks up," said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. "By checking out what your vehicle is saying, you can take care of the problem now and avoid a breakdown or more costly repairs later."
Many motorists are familiar with noises their vehicles make on a daily basis. However, any noise that is new, different or suspicious may indicate a problem. For example, a high-pitched squeal that stops when pressing on the brake pedal is a sign that a vehicle's brakes should be inspected. The same goes for grinding that could be the result of worn brake pads that should be replaced.
Thumping that increases and decreases with the speed of the vehicle could mean a trip to your local service center. The diagnosis may be a tire problem like a bubble in the sidewall or torn rubber that could lead to a blowout.
Sounds under the hood can also indicate that your vehicle is in need of attention. Hissing may be caused by a disconnected or cracked vacuum hose. A squealing noise while revving the engine could be due to a slipping drive belt. Inspection and repair will allow your vehicle to operate more safely and efficiently.
"The number of sounds a vehicle may make are endless, so when your car is trying to tell you something, it's important to be alert, listen carefully and take action," said White.
The Car Care Council is the source of information for the "Be Car Care Aware" consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers. For more information, visit www.carcare.org.

Truckin' Awesome: 50 Photos of Cool Trucks
Trucks have exploded in popularity over the last several years as a medium for cool hot rods, race vehicles, and restorations. My love of trucks is well documented here on the pages of BangShift with our Goliath and Brutus projects and my various slobbering over all different shapes and sizes of pickups, rigs, Jeeps, and even dump trucks. When I was putting this gallery together I tried to get as many eras and manufacturers in here as I could. We have thousands of truck photos so this could literally be the first of 100 truck galleries!
I think one of the reasons people are into trucks now more than ever is that they all have a distinct style of their own, despite the fact that they all have the same basic shape. A pickup truck is a cab and a bed, but there are hundreds, if not thousands of variations on that theme. It is a good indication of the nearly limitless creativity of the human brain that after 100 years of pickup construction, companies manage to roll out new and differed models every couple of years.
What are you waiting for? Head over to BangShift to check out this gallery of amazing trucks!

I have been considering entering this story into the bowels of etiquettehell.com for some time now, and as my husband and I's anniversary draws near, I am reminded of this story from those days of heady excitement and familial clinical insanity, ah, yes, those 'engagement days.'
My husband has a younger brother, whom I will call Jeremy. Jeremy, who is two years younger than my darling husband, had been living with a woman, whom I shall call Lara, for some time, about seven years. (They were not married, much to the disapproval and ire of both my husband's parents and her family, both being devout in a traditional faith and pining for a grandchild.) In any case, my husband and I had met shortly after New Year's, fell in love, and became engaged the following October. (My husband wishes to note that our courtship and engagement was atypically fast for this day and age, however, he wants me to note that we, being traditionalists, wished to follow that age old poem, "first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes living together, then comes the baby in the baby carriage.")
Originally, we had wanted to hold a very, very small wedding during a weekday at our church, however, being the eldest of his generation, my fiance's parents were eager to have the "whole shebang" wedding. We finally agreed and, after consulting both families, we chose a lovely day, away from any major holidays, birthdays, other anniversaries, church high holy days, etc., that was a little under a year away. This was, as I understood it, a typical amount of time between his perching on one knee and exchanging those knee-knocking vows in front of a packed congregation. Everyone invited to the wedding received (what has lately become de riguer) a printed card notifying them of the aforementioned date of the wedding, informing them to "save the date", thus giving our world-wide spread friends and family a good deal of notice to discuss the date, plan for travel, save for expenses, and the like.
We sailed along, joyfully planning our wedding, our heads in that hazy fog of love, and Christmas time arrived before we knew it. We gathered at his parents' house on Christmas Day, and of course we were enjoying the holiday with my husband's parents, Jeremy and his live-in girlfriend, the aforementioned Lara, and my husband's sister. We had just enjoyed a lovely Christmas dinner and the traditional present opening, and my husband's family and I were relaxing in front of the fireplace, sharing embarrassing childhood stories and fond Christmas memories, when, out of the blue, Lara announced that she and Jeremy were going to be married the Friday immediately before our Saturday wedding date, following with "since your fiance's family will be in town, we may as well get married then, too, and save them a trip."
I was absolutely gobsmacked and began to choke on a sip from my glass of wine. My husband and I exchanged looks that could best be described as shocked horror, as did his parents, whom had not even known that Jeremy was thinking of marriage, let alone actually asking Lara for her hand. After I managed to recover, I simply stated, "We have booked the church for our rehearsal that Friday, and we have already booked a (rather large, as we had many out of town/country guests, which, according to our beloved etiquette, should be invited to the rehearsal dinner) banquet room for the traditional rehearsal/thank you supper." Lara thought for a split second, then said, "It'll be great, and your rehearsal dinner can be our reception." Again, I protested at this, stating that we simply couldn't afford to pay for their (plethora) of friends and her family as well as our own. (We were paying for the wedding entirely on our own.) Lara then suggested they be married on the Sunday after our wedding. Again, I had to tell her that we had already planned to leave for our honeymoon in Mexico on that date and it simply could not be changed, as we had already purchased non-refundable airplane tickets and had arranged to stay at one of our friend's parents' beach home. Trying to appease her, I added, "And since we'll be family, we really would like to be present at your wedding, it's very important to us."
Lara's face began to turn red with anger (I had always assumed that rehearsal/rehearsal dinner was held the day before the wedding and the couple left for the honeymoon the day after the wedding, and that it was pretty clear that this is the way weddings tended to go…) Sensing that she was about to throw a fit and being the chronic people pleaser that I am, I even feebly suggested we have a double wedding, which she quickly and angrily refused, saying that "that was the stupidest idea I have ever heard. If you can't be at our wedding on that Friday, you'll just have to miss it!" At this, I retreated to the bathroom and started sobbing. My husband-to-be made a lame excuse and took me home, depressed and with a bloated, tear-stained face.
In the end, however, my future husband spoke with his mother, begging her to try to talk some sense into Jeremy, who, as it turned out, was as surprised as we were that he and Lara were marrying–he had never spoken to her about it and never proposed! My now mother-in-law finally spoke with Lara and convinced her to change the date–not by appealing to her sense of etiquette or sense of basic kindness–but by convincing her that she would get more/more expensive presents by marrying at a different time!
I know that nowadays many brides feel they "own" her wedding month, or even her wedding year–but seriously, the night before?! The day after?!
And having us pay for our rehearsal dinner as their reception? Uncouth doesn't begin to cover it! I truly shudder to think what will happen when we have children.
P.S. Jeremy and Lara did end up getting married–three years after our wedding! And holy cow, that's another entry for your site… (Oh, and just for the record, it was her second wedding–and, as can be expected, we are still waiting for a thank you note…two years later.) 0216-09
I would have guffawed laughing at the ridiculous suggestion and then deadpanned, "I cannot accommodate your request."

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force could soon recommend that HIV testing become routine in medical settings, according to health officials close to the panel, speaking on condition of anonymity. Under the 2010 federal health reform law, health insurers must fully cover preventive services that USPSTF recommends. The recommendation is expected to be open for public comment before the year ends.
"We did not find that evidence at that time compelling enough to say that we were confident that more people would benefit than the people who had HIV detected," said Dr. Michael LeFevre, USPSTF's co-chair. "Obviously that was seven years ago," and the new data will be taken into consideration, he said.

That's on the clamshell that's holding the card, and not the card itself.
These Premium/Vintage OTC (aka vOTC) are a thing of beauty.I am glad that the basic OTC sucks, because instead of buying all those repacks, I'll be saving up the cash to shell out for 2x each of these 12 masterpieces. I'd much rather spend $240 to get 24 of these figures than $240 on 48 recarded/rehashed figures.
