Simon Meredith felt fine, when he flew to Sydney two weeks ago to umpire the Swans' game against Port Adelaide. He slept well, ate breakfast, watched some soccer on television, headed to the ground and warmed up well. It wasn't until late in the first quarter that he was struck by a sudden, intense and horribly painful headache that made it hurt to run, bounce the ball or even blow his whistle. A few hours later he was in the emergency department at Prince of Wales hospital being told he might have an aneurysm and that if he did, he might not get to go home.
''I went from thinking, 'there's a chance I might not ever umpire again to, I might not ever see my family again','' said Meredith, who had to lie with that news until the next morning when an angiogram and MRI assured him and his doctors he was not going to die. ''It wasn't a very good night. I kept thinking, 'this isn't right, this can't be happening, how am I going to get out of here?''
The news wasn't as bad as it could have been, but nor was it a let-off. Meredith was diagnosed with bleeding on his brain, a subarachnoid hemorrhage that he has been told could not not have been prevented and has as much chance of happening to him again as it does to anyone else. He spent a week in Sydney, mostly in intensive or high care. It took more than 48 hours for the headache to start subsiding, he barely moved for a week and was so unwell that he couldn't even change out of his umpiring gear for two days. Flown back to Melbourne at the end of last week, he needed to spend another few days in hospital before he was allowed home.
He is on the mend and was able to drop by umpires training this week to say hello, sit for 20 minutes on an exercise bike and get some physio treatment: spending 11 days in bed has not been good for his back or leg muscles, and he has woken up with slight headaches this week. The grand final umpire is not certain when he will be back, but was told he could do what his body allowed him to and that he should be able to umpire again within a month of the haemorrhage. For now, he is taking things easy, ''building up slowly, doing some light exercise, seeing how I feel. I'm hoping to be back in the next few weeks, but I'll need some more checks before that.''
Having never suffered from headaches, Meredith felt like he had been whacked on the back of the head when the haemorrhage happened. It was an acute, sharp, unfamiliar pain. He kept umpiring, took some paracetamol at the quarter and half-time breaks and stayed at one end waiting for the drugs to kick in while fellow umpires Ben Ryan and Scott Jeffery took all the bounces and covered the busier middle part of the ground.
He can remember the whole game and was still able to think and see clearly. Watching it back in the last few days, he couldn't spot any mistakes, but his head hurt so much it was almost impossible to run, and the first time he blew his whistle there was so much pressure at the back of his head that it felt like it might explode. ''By that stage I was definitely starting to think, 'what the hell is this?'''
Still, it wasn't until five minutes into the last term that he had no choice but to stop, staggering across the boundary line and starting to throw up within 30 seconds. His place, incidentally, was taken by emergency umpire Brent Pawley, a rookie who hadn't worked a single AFL game when he stepped into one of the hottest ones of the year. Neither Meredith's predicament nor Pawley's debut were noticed by commentators, which Meredith considers a compliment to them both. ''I think everyone there was absorbed in the game, but it's good that no one noticed. That's what we're all about.''
He is grateful for the support of Ryan, Jeffery and the Sydney and Port Adelaide doctors who helped him out. His parents happened to be in town to watch the game, and were there when he had to ring his wife Leiza and let her know what had happened. He put, she said, ''a positive spin on it, like Simon always does, but it was frightening. That night it just felt like a big shock, but waking up the next morning it was, 'OK, what's going on? What are they going to do? Is he going to be all right?''
Meredith is still positive, happy to be back home with Leiza, daughter Darcy and son Hamish and looking forward to umpiring again as soon as he is ready. ''The doctors kept saying, you don't know how lucky you are, '' he said. ''The next time I have 10 days off, hopefully I'm in Fiji. With no headaches! It's been an interesting little adventure, but the worst is over now.''

"Life Story of the
Believer" Given
In Chapel Series
Messages Presented in
Three Chapels
Dr. Norman B. Harrison, pastor
of the Oliver Presbyterian Church,
Minneapolis, presented a series of
messages on the "Life Story of the
Believer," on December 13, 14, 15.
He spoke on "His Threefold Rela-tion
to Christ," "The Threefold Min-istry
of the Spirit," and "His Three-fold
Need Fully Met" in three con-secutive,
combined chapels.
Speaker Leaves Pastorate
For Evangelistic Work
Dr. Harrison has distinguished
himself as a thorough Bible student
and teacher. He intends to leave
his present charge for evangelistic
work, conducting Bible conferences
and evangelistic services.
This series is the second sponsored
by the Student Council. Last year,
special services were held with Rev.
L. L. Legters as speaker.
Special prayer meetings f o r
these services were held in the col-lege
chapel in the morning, in the
college prayer room and room 105
at noon. The regular evening prayer
meeting is being held at the Semin-ary
Chapel periods were lengthened
to fifty-five minutes to give the
speaker more time to present his
"New Baptist Hymnal" Is
Purchased for Chapels
New song books have been placed
in the College and Seminary Chap-els
recently. The hymnal, "New
Baptist Hymnal," replaces "Majestic
Hymns" in the Seminary chapel.
Additional copies were placed in the
College chapel to supplement the
hymn books already m use there.
The administration changed hym-nals
feeling that the old hymn book
was not representative enough and
that both chapels should have the
same hymnal. Also the number of
books in the Seminary chapel has
diminished to the extent that there
were not enough for use in services.
These books have been in use for
four years.
Seminary Middlemen Have
Fellowship Banquet
Seminary Middlemen known as
the "Hudor Ballo" and lady guests
sponsored a banquet at the "Trio-eat
shop" in Minneapolis, Tuesday
evening, Dec. 7.
After a three course dinner, an in-formal
program was carried out in
the banquet room which was thor-oughly
Swedish in atmosphere with
wall decorations in blue and yellow
and pictures of Swedish scenes.
"Duff" Wessman, president of the
class, acted as toastmaster. The guest
speaker, Andrew Sinkiewicz, Semin-ary
senior, addressed the group on

"Time Out" for
A shrill whistle blows and then,
"Time out"—the voice is that of
Bill Adam, Bethel's athletic coach.
Even though all athletic coaches
utter practically the same words on
the basketball floor, yet one can
say with certainty that very few of
them, if any, have experienced all
that Coach Adam has, previous° to
his career as a physical education
instructor and coach.
"Bill" was born in Danzig, Ger-many,
on the shores of the Baltic
Sea. When he was still a small
child, the Adam family went to
Russia for a business and pleasure
trip combined, but it proved to be
far from that, for the World War
broke out while they were in Russia.
The family was to be sent to Siberia
in captivity, but luckily, the Ger-
Clarion Staff "Dress Up"
For Profession Party
Bob Seline, as the busy "editor of
the Chicago Tribune," won the dol-lar
prize at the clarion "profession"
party held December 6. After an
interesting series of "concentration"
games, and an impromptu wedding,
the staff members were served re-freshments
in the Cafeteria.
The "U" shaped table was appro-priately
decorated in red and white
with toy telephones, typewriters,
files, editorial desk lamps and tiny
copies of the Wilson Herald.
Ruth Tegenfeldt Heads
New Girls' Club
The development of the body, the
training of the mind, the edification
of the spirit . . . this is the three-fold
purpose of the newly organized
Bethel girls' club. All the girls in
the school are considered members
of the organization, and are to meet
every three weeks on Monday even-ing
and Thursday afternoon alter-nately.
The officers of the club,
who were installed with an im-pressive
candle-lighting ceremony
at the club's first regular meeting
on December 9, are: president, Ruth
Tegenfeldt; vice president, Gladys
Peterson; secretary, Luetta Schmidt;
and treasurer, Ethel Ahlquist. Prior
to the installation the girls enjoyed
a social time and refreshments
served by Miss Nelson, the club's
faculty adviser.
First Swedish Baptist Church,
Minneapolis, Invites
The First Swedish Baptist Church
of Minneapolis, Rev. Anton E.
Sjolund, pastor, entertained Bethel
students on Sunday, December 5,
by inviting them to their church
for the services and then to their
homes for dinner.
Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, President
of Bethel, delivered the morning
message, and Prof. Adolf Olson, the
evening sermon. Three Bethel stu-dents,
Bob Perrin, Willard Ander-son,
and Bertil Friberg gave talks at
the Young People's session at 5:30.
Bill's Experiences
mans captured the town and set
them free.
On the train trip back to Ger-many,
the Coach said he saw more
than he ever expects to see again.
Soldiers were lying dead and
wounded on battlefields so thick
with blood that it could be scooped
up with a shovel. Men dug graves
and the soldiers were buried by the
dozens. Near Moscow, the train was
bombed by a French plane. Two
of Coach Adam's companions were
killed, and it resulted in the loss of
speech completely for Bill for a
period of two years.
The Coach says it is impossible to
describe all the hard times in Ger-many
during the War; he says one
can only experience and feel some

Olson Answers Call
To Service in
African Mission
To Work in Sudan
Interior Mission
Bethel's seventy-third student is
going out to the foreign field. Aleck
Olson '36, graduate of the Seminary,
will leave the United States in Feb-ruary
for Northern Africa. He will
become a missionary in the Sudan
Interior Mission of that region.
Coming from the Karlstad, Min-nesota,
region, Aleck became one of
the "Old Timers" of Bethel, spend-ing
nine years in
t h e Academy,
Junior College,
and Seminary.
He participated
widely in school
a c ti vities and
held several
class offices.
While a student
in the Seminary,
he was janitor
supervisor a n d
"handy m a n."
He served as student pastor of
Wheelock Parkway Chapel, St.
Paul, during his Seminary career,
and spent a summer at the church
in Clear Brook, Minnesota.
The past few months have been
spent in Klingberg's Orphanage at
New Britain, Conn., in the capacity
of supervisor.
Volunteers Look for New
Name; To Boost Missions
The desirability and necessity of
a missionary organization in Bethel
was discussed at a meeting of the
Student Volunteers held Monday
evening, Nov. 23. Floyd Richert led
the discussion and the entire group
joined him in a decision to estab-lish
an active missionary society. It
was decided to adopt a new name
for the organization and draw up a
list of rules and regulations.
The group will sponsor one Wed-nesday
evening missionary program
each month. In addition they plan
to go out as a gospel team group to
bring missionary programs at
churches in the vicinity of the Twin

Give Chapel Message
"Put yourself in my place and

leper according to Rev. Carl
J. Tanis, deputational secretary of
the Sudan Interior Mission. It was
through the missionary among these
lepers that concrete evidence was
displayed to the Mohammedans that
the Gospel is real; it proved an
effectual opening for missionary
work in northern Nigeria.

Saving and Losing
We are thrilled to hear that another Bethel
graduate is going out to the mission field. Mis-sionary
activity is one of the best examples of
"Losing one's life" as the Master expressed it.
Mission history contains numerous stories of
missionaries going into Christless expanses to
labor for years as unsung heroes with only a
few outside of his own denomination, friends,
and relatives knowing much about him and
his work.
However, "He that loseth his life shall find
it". He finds happiness in knowing that he is
going to do the Lord's work, and working not
only for the present but for Eternity.
Running Track or Bleachers?
The super-elevated curves of the running
track, no doubt, are an aid to runners practic-ing
for the spring track season, but do we ever
use them for that purpose?
During basketball games, when a group has
gathered around the rails, one either has to
walk warily around with one's hand on the
shoulder of the onlookers or take a run for it
in true track fashion. The "rises" are a cause
of much embarrassment especially for the
It is a problem that needs looking into and
corrected as soon as possible.
Student Volunteers
Commendation is due the Student Volunteers
for the renewed interest taken in missionary
activities this year. Only a live organization
can be a complement to the missionary tradi-tion
of our school. Seventy two Bethelites have
gone out to foreign lands in missionary service
and it places a responsibility on us that we
keep alive the missionary spirit prevelant in
the past. Now that Aleck Olson has answered
the call and made ready to go, may we renew
the spirit that funds may be secured and the
others may go to the distant climes with the
Gospel Message.
What Do You Think?
The recreation room no doubt serves its pur-pose
and that a good one, but for various
reasons, it includes a limited membership. A
more likely purpose of the recreation room,
in whose walls no one can be unless dues are
paid to the Recreation Club, would be to re-create
it into a full recreation room wherein
ALL fellows could use the different means of
relaxation provided.

Lest You Forget
We have just begun our basketball season,
and already we students have, I believe, been
sadly misusing one term in speaking of the
games. That word is the noun (and verb)
"s-t-a-r". If the term refers solely to players
making the most number of points, we have
used it correctly. However, we seem to forget
that to make a good shot, a player must re-ceive
a good pass, and to have those baskets
mean victory, there must be good guarding as
well. Since the team must be "one" in harmony,
and not be individual "stars" if Bethel is to
come out on top this year, let's be careful to
think of and discuss the team as one UNIT.
Let us commend then, not individual players,
but the whole team.
The Name of Jesus
Naturally, during the Christmas season
our thoughts are centered upon the name
of Jesus more than any other time of the
year. The glory of His Name brings renewed
joy and peace to our hearts. In that name
we find the power to save— " . . . and thou
shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall
save his people from their sins." Through
His name our sins are removed— " . . . that
through his name whatsoever believeth in
him shall receive remission of sins." Not only
are our sins removed, but also we have our
very life through His name— " . . . that be-lieving
ye might have life through his
name." Lastly, by gathering in His name
we are assured of His presence to comfort
and to strengthen—"For where two or three
are gathered together in my name, there
am I in the midst of them."
"Jesus", oh, how sweet the name!
"Jesus", every day the same;
"Jesus", let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever.
Maurice Wessman
Practical Faith
"The trouble with people," says
a swimming instructor, "is that they
do not have confidence in the water.
Instead of letting the water hold
them up, they struggle with it, and
get no place." Broadly speaking, the
better the swimmer the less the
One of the lessons of life, difficult
to learn, is to eliminate those ran-dom
movements which represent
wasted energy. While these move-ments
may lead to the appearance
of great activity and life, they are
really impediments handicapping
progress toward the goal which has
been set. Slow motion pictures illus-trate
very strikingly how numerous
and how serious these movements
are in the would-be athlete.
The working of the principle,
however, is not confined to physical
activity. Many a student, confront-ed
with a new and perhaps more
difficult type of work, has reacted
in the same way. Floors have been
paced and heads have been scratch-ed
with energy that should have
been used in appropriating and an-alyzing
data. Increasing inefficiency
has led to new outbursts. More mid-night
oil has been burned and more
hours spent tossing on a bed until
finally in utter desperation the stu-dent
storms his way back home
without ever having really tested
his scholastic abilities.
But more pathetic than the above
instances are the exertions often
made by the person who is not at-taining
to the desired inner victory
in this Christian life. Sensing an
inconsistency between profession
and reality, he bursts forth into a
great conflict. Christians are criti-cized
right and left; the beliefs of
others are denounced; and the
struggling Christian, with holy air,
storms his way from one defeat in
his spiritual life to another. In the
meantime he is unaware that the
waves of old obeyed the Master's
voice, "Peace, be still," and is for-getful
of His promise "My strength
is sufficient for thee."
The Christian ideal is an ener-getic
life in which every erg of
energy is expended upon our God-given
missions in life and in which
no part of our strength is dissipated
in meaningless, although vigorous,
activity. It is a life empowered by
that calm and that confidence which
grows out of the knowledge that the
condition of the spiritual life is
normal and healthy. The life thus
ruled and stabilized by the indwell-ing
Christ will express itself in a
more relaxed and efficient sports-manship,
in a more conscientious
and effective scholarship, and in a
more calm and magnetic confession
of Christ. C. Emmanuel Carlson.
Axel Anderson Challenges
Ministerial Students
In his challenging message to the
student body Rev. Axel Anderson
presented the current need of today.
The men for the hour to meet the
worldliness of today must have a
consecrated scholarship, and a prac-tical
ability coupled with common
sense; they must preach and teach
the word with the authority "Thus
saith the Lord"; they must make an
evangelistic appeal.

"Time Out" for Bill's Experiences
(Continued from page 1, col. 3)
of them. People on the streets
dropped dead from lack of food;
and people ate food not fit for ani-mals.
Bill said, "I was hungry only
once during the War and that was
for a period of about three years."
The family then decided to come
to America, and arrived here Oc-tober
12, 1920. They came directly
to Mountain Lake, Minnesota, where
Bill's uncle lived. It was necessary
for the Coach to start his schooling
in kindergarten, although he was
much older than the rest of his
class. Bill went through the eighth
grade, and then it was necessary
for him to quit school and work for
three years, after which he felt too
old to attend a city high school.
At the time he was a member of
the German Baptist Church in Min-neapolis.
One Sunday, in the ab-sence
of their pastor, Bethel's pres-ident,
Dr. G. A. Hagstrom, con-ducted
the service. He happened
to mention the Bethel Academy,
and being interested, Bill Adam in-quired
further after the service.
Thus, he came to Bethel.
It was in the Academy that he
began his sports career. Never be-fore
had he played basketball, but
during his third year he captained
the team and they went through the
season undefeated, winning the
State Academy League Champion-ship.
Students here get a big kick out
of being funny. They ring fire-alarms,
caption bulletin-board no-tices
(official and otherwise), and
imitate Charley McCarthy. Some of
them can say "Woo! Woo!" with
an umlaut!!!
But even more exciting than the
girl's basketball game with Bethel
leading 47 to 19, even funnier than
the thumb butterings given by
Boarding Club members, even more
vital to Bethel life than Harry Aron-son's
Swedish dialect are the three
—no, four—jokes that Bethelites
crack. F'rinstance take the one we
heard twice today:
Pipes one: I think I'm going crazy.
Pipes another: You don't have far
to go!!
Of course, for those who love
variety the lead and comeback may
be changed to:
First: I feel dizzy.
Second: Don't you always feel
that way?
If a bunch of vague mutterings
like this made McIntyre, who are we
to object to it in our colyum. . . .
We just can't resist this one from
Stoopnagle and the thing: Christ-mas
is stuff that when you meet
someone just before it, you wish
them a very merry. . . . One can
never tell, but it seems as though a
couple of brown eyes and a dimpled
chin have made Carl H. forget about
that old copy of Schopenhauer un-der
his mattress. . . . People who
read the newspapers and Esquire
would call it "umph," but that dark-eyed
"Y.W.C.A.-er" of last week's
basketball had something we-uns
can't forget. . . . A thing or two
should be done about men like
Herschel R. who frighten ladies like
Lorayne F. out of sound slumbers
in school libraries with alarm-clocks.
. . . We're curious: Why is it
that script writers for radio plays
insist on making dialogues—be-tween
two Germans in Germany,
or Frenchies in France—consist en-tirely
in broken English. . . .

Augsburg Freshmen
Downed in First
Practice Game
Richert and Sorley
Are High Scorers
On Friday, Dec. 3, the Bethel bas-ketball
team outclassed a highly
favored Augsburg Freshman team
to win its first pre-conference game
of the season 40-13. Paced by Rich-ert
and W. Sorley, who between
them scored 23 points, Bethel took
an early lead and except once were
never threatened.
The sound of the opening whistle
had hardly died away, before Rich-ert
had sunk two set shots to put
Bethel well on its road to victory.
Late in the first half, Augsburg
drew up to within 3 points of tying
the score; but again Richert came
through with two set shots in quick
succession to give Bethel a lead
which they never relinquished.
"U" Farm School Gets
Double Defeat
Led by W. Sorley, veteran for-ward
from last year's team, the
Bethel cagers swamped the Univer-sity
of Minnesota Farm school. At
the half, Bethel commanded a 21-4
lead. The Bethel team was out to
revenge the two smarting defeats it
received from the Farm school last
year and it drove in for buckets
from the opening whistle to the
closing one. The fine defensive work
of the Bethel team, holding the
Farm school to four field goals, was
the outstanding feature of the game.
"B" Team Takes Preliminary
Adding insult to injury, the
Bethel "B" team, in a preliminary
game walked away with a 31-18
victory. B. Carlson, of Bethel, with
his offensive and defensive drive
and fine ball handling, served no-tice
that he is ready for a varsity
position. A. Edblom with eleven
points was high scoring man.
Feminine Hoopsters Drub
Farm School Girls
In a preliminary game the Bethel
girls team trounced the Farm School
girl team 42-28. T. Catherine, of
the Farm School, grabbed high
scoring honors with 21 points edg-ing
out Ruth Tegenfeldt, of Bethel
who had 20.
Boy's Club Brings Defeat
In Third Game
The St. Paul Boy's Club edged out
a hard fought victory over the
Bethel basketball team on Wednes-day,
Dec. 8, on Bethel's home floor.
Sorley and Peterson teaming to-gether,
sent Bethel away to an early
lead. But inspired by their captain's
plead for victory, the Boy's Club
wouldn't stay beaten. Every mem-ber
of the team possessing a dead
eye for the basket, started pepping
things up, scoring 16 points to
Bethel's 8, tying the score at 18 all
at the half. In the second half, the
lead repeatedly changed hands. In
the closing minutes of play with the
score at 32 all, Michael, the Boy's
Club forward dropped in two buck-ets
that proved to be the two win-ning
baskets. The floor work of
Peterson and Richert made them
the two outstanding players on the
floor. Sorley was high point man
with 14 points to his credit.

Now that yule tide is approach-ing,
we should look for baskets.
Basketball was invented in 1892
by James Naismeth. As the game
was originally played, it was neces-sary
to use a ladder to get up and
remove the ball from the basket.
Nothing like the feminine "gener-ator"
to instill spirits in the fellows.
The team is "Sorley" in need of
more girl friends at the games.
The elimination of the center
jump makes the game faster, and
more interesting to watch. Every-one
should support the teams with
his presence.
What do you think of the first
conference gage?
And have you seen the girls play?
Boys, when you've practiced a few
more weeks, challenge them.
At the time of writing, there is a
shifting process going on by the
coach, trying to get the best starting
five. Don't be surprised at any
changes; we want a championship
this year.

His Hamptons hangover continues.
Newly minted Knicks point guard Jason Kidd yesterday broke a nearly weeklong silence with a series of tweets apologizing for his allegedly drunken SUV smashup in the Hamptons.
"I regret any disruption my accident last weekend may have caused members of the community, and want to thank the local authorities," Kidd tweeted yesterday. "I'd also like to thank my family and friends for their support."
After whooping it up at a benefit and the nightclub SL East early Sunday morning, Kidd allegedly got behind the wheel of his silver Cadillac Escalade and totaled the car on a winding Water Mill road less than a quarter-mile from his mansion.
The collision knocked out cable, telephone and Internet service to neighbors in the well-to-do area, and Kidd was eventually booked for DWI after emerging nearly unscathed from the wreckage. He's due back in court Sept. 12.

5 Smart Things To Do Before You Search For A Franchise
5 Smart Things To Do Before You Search For A Franchise
If you're thinking about becoming your own boss, and the business model of franchising sounds attractive, there are several things you need to do before you even look at a franchise business opportunity.
Even though you probably can't wait to jump in that nice, warm franchise opportunity pool, I want you to force yourself to hold back. Read my tips below first; they'll help you prepare for your jump.
1. Talk To Your Family
If you think for one minute that becoming the owner of a business will only affect you (because of the long hours you'll be putting in, etc.) you're going to be in for a big surprise. Do you have family support? Starting any business is a family decision, even if it doesn't involve any family members actually working in the business.*
Not only do family members need to understand that there will be huge demands on your time, they need to understand the big picture. A lot of things are going to change if you end up becoming an owner.
2. Talk To Yourself
This could be a good time for you to take up some form of meditation.*
Before you embark on what could end up being a life-changing event, you need to have a day or two to yourself. Please turn off all electronic devices. Take some walks. Go through the plusses and minuses of starting a business in your head. No outside interference allowed. See how you feel when you're done. Are you really ready to take on a major commitment like small business ownership?
3. Find Yourself
While you're still in self-discovery mode, I want you to think about a couple of things.
The first thing has to do with skills. Grab a sheet of paper and write down what you feel your top skills are as they relate to business. Are you good with numbers? Are you a great team leader? Are your sales skills top-notch?
Grab another sheet of paper and write down the traits that define you. Are you deliberate? Laid-back? Driven? Detail-oriented? Outgoing? Make sure you write down your most dominate traits.
Now, you have two lists that can help figure out what types of franchises to search for. Hint: franchise concepts that allow you to use your top skills, combined with your personal makeup in the operation of the business, are the opportunities to start investigating.
4. Grab A Calculator
Don't even think about exploring any franchises without knowing where you stand financially. Gather all of your financial information and plan on spending a few hours figuring out where you stand. Your goal is to come up with your net worth. You'll need to know your net worth before you go on to the next step.
Wouldn't it be upsetting to get really excited about a specific franchise only to learn that you're not financially qualified to own it?
5. Visit Your Bank
The best time to meet with a loan representative is when you don't need a loan. Think about how relaxed you'll be. There's no pressure. You're just gathering some information that you'll be able to use later.
It's also a great time to find out what the lending environment is like, and find out if your lender handles SBA loans. In addition, you can probably get a list of things you'll need to get the small business loan process started.
Just in case you end up buying a franchise. And, if you do, you'll have all of your ducks in a row.

I'm having a sex change to look like Harry Styles
Like many young girls, Catrina Best thinks Harry Styles is the perfect man. But unlike his many teenage fans, Catrina doesn't want to be with the One Direction star - she wants to look like him.
The 20-year-old, who has been diagnosed as transgender, has modelled her hair and spent thousands on clothing so she can look just like the pop singer.
'Dressing as Harry made me feel confident, so I copied his hair too,' Catrina told this week's Closer magazine. 'I spend 30 minutes every day perfecting the "Harry look."'
Catrina told the magazine she thinks Harry, 18, is the 'perfect boy' and having him as a role model has made it easier as she has struggled with her sexuality.
The law student, who was born in Northern Ireland, said she has felt different since the age of five when she hated looking at all feminine by having long hair or wearing dresses.
When she was 11 she moved to Lisbon, Portugal, with her parents and found she continued to struggle with her identity as a teenager. She often felt depressed and confused because she didn't fancy boys and was bullied because she made herself look different by binding her breasts and having short hair.
'I later realised I wanted to be with girls – but as the male in a straight relationship,' she said of her confusion over her sexual preference.
Catrina said it was a 'huge relief' to finally be diagnosed as transgender earlier this year.
She is now saving up to have an operation and plans to take hormones which will give her facial hair and deepen her voice.
In the meantime, she is modelling her look on Harry having been a fan of One Direction since they appeared on The X Factor.
As well as copying his clothes and hair, she's also learning to play the guitar. Her new image is so uncanny she has often been mistaken for the singer.
She said: 'People say my bone structure, eyes and lips are almost identical to Harry's, and I've been asked for autographs. I haven't started dating yet, but girls flirt with me and I even get chatted up by older women, like Harry does!'
Wasn't sure if I should post this or not but he's talking about it to a magazine so whatever.

When you want to create a line break (line feed) in a cell, you press Alt + Enter, to start a new line. You can put one or more line breaks in a cell, to make the contents easier to read. But how can you find and replace line breaks in Excel?
Find Line Breaks in Excel
Line breaks are easy to add, but a little trickier to remove.
To find specific text in Excel, you can use Ctrl + F to open the Find and Replace dialog box. However, if you try to type Alt + Enter in the Find What box, you'll just hear a beep from your computer. Excel won't let you put that shortcut into the Find What box.
Instead of using Alt + Enter, you can use a special shortcut to enter a line break in the Find What box: Ctrl + J
Why does that work? A line break is character 10 in the ASCII character set, and the Ctrl + J shortcut is the ASCII control code for character 10.
Find and Replace a Line Break
To find a line break, and replace it with a space character, follow these steps. There is a video below, that shows the steps.
- Select the cells that you want to search
- On the keyboard, press Ctrl + H to open the Find and Replace dialog box, with the Replace tab active
- Click in the Find What box
- On the keyboard, press Ctrl + J to enter the line break character -- NOTE: No text will appear in the Find What box -- just a small blinking dot
- Press the Tab key on the keyboard, to move to the Replace With box
- Type a space character
- Then, click Find Next or Find All, to find the cells with line breaks.
- OR, click Replace or Replace All, to replace the line breaks with space characters.
NOTE: If these steps don't work, try the tips and troubleshooting suggestions below.
Get more Excel data entry tips on my Contextures website.
Tips and Troubleshooting
Update: Here are a few tips and troubleshooting suggestions, to use while you find and replace line breaks in Excel. Thank you to everyone who commented, and added suggestions.
- If Ctrl + J does not work, press the Alt key, and type 0010 on the number keypad (do not use the numbers above the letters)
- If the Excel file has never been saved, try saving the file before doing this find and replace
- Try doing this find and replace when you first open Excel, before using the Find box for any other searches. Or, try the next tip -- you might have extra line breaks in the Find box.
- Be sure that you aren't inserting more than one line break in the Find box -- the Find box looks empty after you type Ctrl+J, so it is easy to accidentally type in there again. To avoid this problem:
- Click on the Replace tab -- you'll see a light border around the word.
- Press the Tab key -- that will select the Find What box, and anything that is entered there.
- Type Ctrl+J (that will replace anything that you previously typed in Find)

Some Myths about Informal Trade in Developing Countries
By definition, informal trade is difficult to measure because even if everyone has seen it, there is no evidence of it in official statistics. Thus, estimates are often difficult to arrive at and quite costly because they require the collection of data from several sources (customs data, data from border surveys, local economic and social statistics, interviews with actors and stakeholders in the sectors concerned).
However, such efforts appear to be bearing fruit: as information and data production improves, a number of assertions based on rumors or even beliefs are contradicted by actual figures. It is especially interesting to note that the phenomena and characteristics of informal trade are the same, whether in central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, or North Africa.
This subject is now even more important as informal trade appears to have taken on greater significance. It is important because, while it creates revenue losses for developing countries, it also contributes to local development, often in border regions far removed from major economic centers.
It is therefore time to shatter a number of myths about informal trade based on recent statistical studies done on Tunisia, Nigeria, and central Asia.
1. Informal trade is not profitable
One often has an image of the merchant who earns a living from informal trade by crossing the border by car or on foot with fruit and vegetables. It is true that in that case, the revenue generated for these smugglers is often barely above the poverty line.
But for those who own cargo, informal trade is extremely profitable. In Nigeria, billions of dollars enter the country through smuggling. With operating margins over 50 percent, billions of profits are shared among the networks' leaders, and this is also happening in North Africa and central Asia. This therefore allows persons financing informal trade to become politicians, such as A. Salymbekov in Kyrgyzstan, and to enjoy a degree of impunity.
2. Informal trade practices are similar
The authorities, customs in particular, often perceive informal trade as a whole. However, on detailed examination of informal trade practices, one notes that informal trade reproduces essentially the identical continuum of practices as formal trade (Benjamin and Mbaye 2012). Thus, some importers can be considered to be "professionals," that is, paying virtually all customs duties or being subject to the same levels of taxation as formal importers, while on the other end of the spectrum, there are importers who simply rely on personal relationships with customs officers and make "deals" by negotiating taxation levels that are very low or pay no taxes at all.
3. Informal trade yields little government revenue
It is true that given the relatively low volumes of informal imports, informal trade can hardly explain the problems associated with customs revenue in developing countries. Nevertheless, proportionately, as it is often subject to tariff peaks or excise taxes, this trade could potentially earn a sizeable share of revenue. Thus, in Tunisia, it is estimated that imports represent 5 to 8 percent of total imports, but at least 12 percent of customs revenue. Similarly, secondhand clothing in Cameroon, an important informal trade sector, is one of the main sources of customs revenue in the country.
4. Border technology helps contain informal trade
The authorities often explain that smuggling results from a lack of equipment and materials at the border, and therefore wish to have scanners and cameras, and even go as far as asking for the placement of landmines at the border or the installation of barbed-wire fences, as is the case in the Fergana Valley in central Asia. Although one scanner is installed at the Tuniso-Libyan border, informal trade is far from being contained. When prices differ by a factor of 3 to 4 at a minimum, the informal importer always finds obliging customs or security officials through the payment of bribes. Nick Megoran et al. (2005) have also shown that despite the existence of barbed-wire fences and cameras at the border between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, the flow continues to thrive as a result of the collaboration of a number of local oversight authorities.
5. Informal importers are responsible for poor practices
One often mistakenly believes that it is the importers who control informal trade, but this is not the case. It is, first and foremost, the customs agents who are responsible for customs clearance, who pull the strings, because they are the ones who know the procedures (or not) and carry out import procedures on behalf of the importer, as was demonstrated in Cameroon (Cantens et al. 2014).
So, if there is a better understanding of how informal trade functions and its scope, what can be done about it?
First, it is important to have an even better understanding of the practices and generate information about them, because there are practices that are specific to some business sectors, which are often explained by the level of profit and the level of taxation. It is important that customs and security services make a much greater distinction between the treatment of importers and agents. However, to accomplish that, it is crucial that these officials try to better understand and become more familiar with them. When possible, it is important to try to identify the networks' leaders who pose a threat to the integrity of the institutions and grow rich at the expense of consumers. Finally, it is necessary to strengthen hierarchical oversight within institutions such as customs. In conclusion, neither noninterference nor indiscriminate repression is in any way the solution. But in challenging political contexts, this is often easier said than done.
In case of medicines,
In case of medicines, cigarettes and liquor, this trade should do good and generate pretty good profit but I guess, these things would be illegal.
Imports of cigarettes,
Imports of cigarettes, medicines or even liquor are, in most countries, not illegal imports but are usually subject to high tariff duties and excise taxes (for cigarettes and liquor), which make them very profitable to trade (if you are able to be exempted from taxes or pay a minimal amount). Therefore, these goods are imported informally in many countries because they are really lucrative.
One question that comes to my
One question that comes to my mind is why is there such a high incidence of informal trade in Africa, central Asia and south Asia? Are formal institutions unable to absorb small entrepreneurs?
What is needed is a good
What is needed is a good definition of informal trade. My understanding is that informal trade is like the underground economy where there are few records on transactions, prices are not set in that the agreements are only between those doing the trade with no third party (such as governmental organizations) involvements or interference, there are no taxes involved, value is based on individual need and perceptions, and, deals are completed in a very efficient manner.The underground economy is big not only in third world countries but in all countries.
You are right that informal
You are right that informal/underground economy is present all over the world but when speaking at informal trade, the extent of it differs in the world. In some developing countries, official statistics may account for less than 10% or even 5% of informal estimates. In developed countries, this ratio is much higher. There is a correlation between the level of taxation and the extent of informal trade but also between the governance context and the extent of informal trade. Where corruption is pervasive, informal trade is likely to flourish, especially if you have a complicated tariff structure with numerous tariff peaks. In many developing countries, all these elements are present and contributes to explain the phenomenon.

"The Wild West"
About this painting:
My time spent living in the North Dakota badlands had a strong impact on my life. Before arriving for the first time, I had absolutely no clue that this place was so beautiful and inspiring. Being able to live and work among the bison herds was particularly a special treat for me. When the sun began to set the skies were always more colorful and more brilliant than I had experienced elsewhere. I wanted to capture that experience in a painting in such a way that could not be captured with a camera or even the naked eye. I guess the old saying is true. As long as the sun sets the West will always be wild.
18x24" oil/acrylic painting - canvas on board.
Allow 2-3 weeks if you choose to have it framed by myself. I will contact you if you choose this option. I work with each client to find the perfect frame to compliment the painting and their home!
This painting comes with a certificate of authenticity which is also documented in a hard copy catalog of original paintings. This catalog is in the possession of myself, the artist.
I personally guarantee that this painting will last for many years to come. I use nothing but the highest grade archival materials in creating and framing this artwork to ensure that this painting is ready to withstand the ages.

"Replica'' Layered with shimmering synthetic textures and flecked with fragments of long-shelved commercials, the latest effort from Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Sudbury native Daniel Lopatin manages to be touching without sentiment, wry without irony, and arresting without gimmickry. The brilliance of "Replica'' comes from its effortless transformation of the banal into the sublime; it's a whole new way to understand "ambient.''
"Underneath the Pine'' Chaz Bundick's second full-length as Toro Y Moi showcases the same facility with gauzy uptempo pop that was made apparent on his critic-tickling debut, 2010's "Causers of This.'' But where "Causers'' became chillwave's unwitting Exhibit A, "Underneath the Pine'' finds Bundick putting down the laptop and picking up every instrument he can lay hands on, creating a near-perfect pop record in the process. File under: Skillwave.
"Tomboy'' For those who find Noah Lennox's primary project (the amorphous psych-pop gang Animal Collective) too wild, woolly, and wailing, his solo material as Panda Bear offers a far more composed vehicle for his harmonic prowess. Like a hall of mirrors, Lennox's voice reflects, refracts, and splits into luminous multiples. "Tomboy'' is as tender as it is dizzying.
"James Blake'' Don't call UK dubstepper-turned-crooner James Blake's debut solo album "minimalist.'' Though barely sewn together with Blake's threadbare vocals and glitchy stitches of rhythm, "James Blake'' packs some serious emotional density; and his ear for microsonic details make each track uncannily rich. Is it a kinder, gentler dubstep? An elegant new template for slow jams? James Blake has only just started surprising us.
"We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves'' Lifting its title from Alain Badiou's "Fifteen Theses on Contemporary Art,'' the heady underpinning of John Maus's third proper full-length never weighs down its effervescent synth-pop. "Believer'' is as uplifting an anthem as 2011 is likely to bestow upon pop history, as Maus aims his nostalgic gaze skyward, sending his voice scattering through the cosmos in a wash of cathartic echoes.
"By the Hedge'' Sparkling new-wave meets burly '90s guitar rock on this Brooklyn band's debut, and the result isn't nearly as formulaic as that setup. Fans of the Drums may appreciate MINKS's slightly cloudier day at the beach, but anyone with a soft spot for lilting boy-girl vocals ("Cemetary Rain''), slack psychedelics ("Out of Tune''), or pure indie-pop perfection ("Kusmi'') has something to look forward to on "By the Hedge.''
"Badlands'' Transient Taiwan native Alex Zhang Hungtai conjured the eight songs of "Badlands'' as a way to reconnect with his father through the sounds he loved as a young man. And while the spirits of Elvis and Orbison loom over songs like "Sweet 17,'' there's enough David Lynch and Suicide lurking in the corners to ensure this doesn't come off as hammy homage. "Badlands'' is singularly weird, and difficult to let go of.
"Mind Bokeh'' British producer Stephen Wilkinson skillfully avoided the riptide of chillwave by tempering his time-warped tones and frayed electronics with syrupy lo-fi funk, glimmering embellishments, and one gnarly vintage synth cameo after another. More than a gear dork's dream come true, "Mind Bokeh'' is a fabulous cross-section of 2011's indie sensibilities, thrown beautifully out of focus.
"Idle Labor'' With "Party Talk,'' Californian whippersnapper Justin Vallesteros had the sunshiny stoner pop hit of the summer locked down in April; it was just an added bonus that his entire debut showcased the same rosy-cheeked bedroom-pop smarts. With its parade of addictive melodies, "Idle Labor'' catches a promising young talent at an endearingly modest moment.
"Wonder/Wander'' Young producer Alec Koone may still live with his folks in Pennsylvania, but his debut as Balam Acab sounds transmitted from some distant (and watery) planet. Stark yet immersive, "Wonder/Wander'' is like a divining rod pointed toward a post-dubstep future that still only exists as a dream.
"Far Side Virtual'' Originally conceived as a suite of ringtones, shape-shifting experimentalist James Ferraro's hypercommercial jingle-scapes are polished to an almost blinding gloss. Each meta-melodic track revels in its disposability, and the whole album conjures a vibe of catatonic consumer bliss. It's unsettlingly familiar.

A few years ago, in the pages of this newspaper, I compared Justin Timberlake to Frank Sinatra. Oh yeah, that went over well. But at the risk of incurring more wrath, what I was trying to say then holds up better now, especially in light of new album The 20/20 Experience, released Tuesday.
JT is a style-leading, ease-exuding five-tool showman who handles himself and his career with crisp, old-school class. He rarely makes a wrong move. I'm still right, gang, so bring on the hate!
Timberlake, 32, stokes the Ol' Blue Eyes comparison by opening his first record in seven years with lush Nelson Riddle-esque strings. But he's no crooner. Despite his Rat Pack wardrobe and ring-a-ding composure, Timberlake alternates between a soul-kissed falsetto — prevalent on '70s-funky Marvin Gaye homage Pusher Love Girl — and a street-savvy middle range that further separates him from his bad-perm boy-band start. (No offense, 'N Sync diehards!)
He follows his own instincts, and has little use for trends. For a long time JT was more interested in acting and spending time with wife Jessica Biel than making music. So when he finally came back to the studio on his own terms , at his own pace (something he kept secret, which is almost unheard of in these Kanye-bragging, tweet-now times), it was out of want and not need. The guy doesn't rush.
He also has the chutzpah to make an offbeat album. Sure, retro club shuffle Suit & Tie, which features a rap cameo by buddy Jay-Z, was a big hit. And blow-out-the-budget end-credits ballad Mirrors could be bigger. But seven of the 10 new tracks obtusely wander past the seven-minute mark, including the outer-spacey Don't Hold the Wall and the Princelike Strawberry Bubblegum, trippy mood music best enjoyed on satin sheets. (There's rumors of a "sequel" album ready to go, and you have to wonder if that one will be more straight-forward.)
A few times, like on the word-clunky Tunnel Vision and Spaceship Coupe, songs meander a bit too much and border on SNL spoofs of overheated bedroom R&B ("With the top up, you're wrapped up, in my space lover cocoon"). But most of the album is so smart and bold, you overlook its goofier moments. It reminds me of Frank Ocean's Channel Orange, more good Frank company to keep.
Timberlake isn't the only one letting his freaky flag fly. Producer Timbaland, who's also embarking on a comeback, is all over this album, too. He's the helmsman behind such hits as Missy Elliott's Get Ur Freak On, Nelly Furtado's Promiscuous and Timberlake's own SexyBack, which was a far more aggressive song than anything here.
"Timbs" 1 and 2 are both trying out fresh vibes, with the producer forgoing his rickety marching-band beats in lieu of otherworldly expanses, like the closing aquatic wonderland of Blue Ocean Floor. If the album is a little too mellow for some, the guys make up for the chill vibe with the rambunctious, if out of place, Latin-boosted Let the Groove Get In. That's a killer track, and suggests that for all the Sinatra nods, Timberlake has always had a thing for MJ, too. Even in picking his idols, JT can't go wrong.

I did have 'some' SATA support using 2.4.27-om1 from the ClusterKnoppix sources, but the drivers were very old. The 2.4 kernel *is* still supported at Kernel.org and the more recent SATA drivers worked a lot better. However, I don't want to invest a lot of time and effort keeping 2.4.xx-om1 alive without a critical mass of other openMosix users and developers. Sadly, whatever the virtues of openMosix, I think it is now becoming unsupportable for use on a 'production' Beowulf cluster. > I also search for LinuxPMI project information, but without any success. > So I share your feeling that > this projects is probably dead ...

Topic: Evolutionary Dead End
Deadline for the voting: Tuesday, 14 June 2005
Posting thread (closed):
concept: siadamahakavikiki turtle ("b- class movie/ mr. radar from the moon vs godzilla" style description
The siadamahakavikiki tutrles are very fragile animals in the first days of there life. they used to be eaten, by the bigger ines or mecha godzillas. There only way to survive, was to attack their opponents whith their horrible destructive voice(hdv)[ths is just so stupid]. Unfortunatelly the hdv of small siadamahakavikiki turtles was to weak to destroy big mecha- turtles. they could only destroy them by working in pairs. [br carefull- the best moment] So the formal leader of the turtles- Kasadahikuhiku- asked one of the gods, if he could fast forward the evolution. And so it happened- the siadamahakavikiki turtels gained two more heads instead of legs. Now, in their early years, their weak hdv was 3 times stronger. When the siadamahakavikiki got older, he was better in making the hdv, and didn't need his 2 brothers. Because they are used as legs, the die when they are about 3 years old. [this is getting more godzilla style the ever ]. The god while evolving the siadamahakavikiki turtles gived every head 1/3 of there old brain, so after leg- heads die, do dies 2/3 of the brain and the head-head gest really stupid (almost as stupid as this story). Usually it makes some syupid decision in his life and dies shortly, after the death of his 2 brothers.
young paddy1:
concept: 'Pennepotenti Procella Ire'
The Lightning Hawk as it was originally known by the gasminers of Accido used three specially modified groups of muscles to create giant static discharges, these were the birdlike creatures main means of catching prey. Thhe world of Accido is bisected around its equator by a ridge of extremely high mountains which completely separate the methan rich atmosphere of the south from the oxygen rich north, every year the Thunderbirds (as someone far more into suermarrionation than ancient Native American culture renamed them) would travel south to the ridge to dig nesting burrows into the ridge. Just before summer 2502 E.S. a skymine's fusion plant failed and crashed into the ridge smashing away the weakened top along a line of burrows. The methane and oxygen mixture was ignited two days later by a Thunderbird arriving early for mating season, the atmosphere ignited, killing all life on the planet as well as 400 gasminers in the resultant inferno.
concept: Sarssar
The Sarssars lived during the period of the Great Glacial Age, when the vast plains of their home planet were covered by a thick (up to 30ft.) layer of snow.
Spending most of their time below the snowy surface, they developed special gills through which they could suck in the adjacent snow and filter out the oxygen from the melting product. With their short but strong legs, and feet featuring a thick membrane between the fingers they could easily dig tunnels into the snow.
To hunt down prey, a Sarssar would lie right beneath the snow surface. Its headplate and turtle-like back, looking like some moss-covered rocks, lured small animals in search for food. As soon as its victim was close enough, a quick movement of the neck was all it took the Sarssar to bite and kill the unsuspecting animal.
400-years of constant heating-up of the their home planet caused the snowfields to melt away and led to the Sarssars' extinction.
concept: Bottom Feeders
These creatures have no known defesive mechanism as their bone structure has become so weak. Thier forearms are actually bending and curving over time as they become older since the weight of thier bodies is too much for thier malnutritioned structures. They only feed off of the ground since they are too slow to chase prey and lack any teeth other than a short suction-like mouth. They move about as quick as your average sloth and often can be found with toxic bulb spice ( a meat feeding plant) stuck to thier bodies. The bottom feeders will sometimes spend a day or two in one spot filtering through sand and loose dirt for nutrients, the problem is that they dont obtain enough food between thier size and the fact that the bulb spice suck the blood from thier sickly bodies similar to leeches. Thier eyes have evolved to face downward since most of thier time they spend looking at the ground through which thier filtering for food. This had made thier eye site Very poor.
Bottom feeders future: They evolve to become the slowest mammal every known, so slow that they cant even perform sex, thus their species dies out.
concept: The Fortress Bulls amazing armour configuration was the result of an evolutionary arms race between the local herbivores and carnivores. Practically invincible, it became the most successful mammal in the area and reproduced in great numbers.
However, as its habitat shifted towards a warmer climate the watering holes began to dry up. The bulls heavy armour made it impossible travel the distance, to seek out new places to drink. Slowly but surly the Fortress Bull was wiped out.
concept: The armored wolf became extinct because of one of its greatest assets. The bone growth that gave it its armored appearance was harder than most bone, became a luxury to the high class of the 1700s in Europe, and were hunted and poached to extinction. These amazing creatures were never recorded in documentation. The creature could not hope to protect itself against human weapons such as guns, which echo too much and distressed its hearing.
concept: Owen's gazelle (Gazelli oweni), also called the 'crown of thorns' gazelle is sadly now extinct. The elaborate horns of the male, apparently the target of female choice during mating displays, are a well-known example of a 'runaway' process of sexual selection gone awry. Male horns were grown continuously throughout the adult's life, often leading to severe limitations in the animal's ability to feed, bend the neck, and escape from predators. Researchers speculate that it was a combination of predation and premature death of males caused by excessive horn material that led to a precipitous population decline and, ultimately, extinction.
concept: This creature is called the Atlantic Ironshell. The shell is composed of Iron and Nickel, as well as calcium and the usual shell stuff. It used the magnetic field the metallic shell generated to sense the electrical signals generated by muscle contractions to sense prey and foes. The two factors that spelled the end for this fascinating creature are
1. Fluctuations in the planets magnetic field caused some major problems. They could have been over come except...
2. The shell was just too damn heavy. As you can see, it used claws on the main tentacles to drag itself. However, this requires a lot of energy, and they couldnt live just on the rocks used for the shell alone.
concept: Crannossa Skelpta
The Crannossa Skelpta is a reptilian-like creature that walked the earth thousands and thousands of years ago. An adult male stood about 12 feet tall when fully extended. It was almost completely blind, so it needed to use its excellent sense of smell to find its only source of foodthe berries of the kurja shrubs. After it caught wind of a freshly bloomed shrub, it used its 4 arms to tear at the berries2 held the branches, while the other two ripped the berries into it's mouth.
The one thing about this rare plant was its defense mechanism, which was completely unknown to the Crannossa Skelpta. The kurja flowers omit an odorless gas when plucked. This gas is extremely acidic and when inhaled can cause tissue to burn and die.
Over thousands of years of the Crannossa Skelpta nipping at their food the vapors eventually hardened the nasal passages of the creature to withstand the fumes. But over time this had an adverse effect as it continued to limit their keen sense of smell and finally blocked their scent glands all together. With their almost non-existent eyesight, they were unable to find food and shortly fell into extinction due to starvation.
The last remaining Crannossa Skelpta fossils have been dated back to roughly 8328 B.C. somewhere in the desert lands of Utah.
concept: Black Loodig Tree Sprout
Tree Sprouts are thought to be a near extinct species that live deep in forests and jungle type areas. Hard to spot, these creatures have evolved over time and adapted to life by growing plant material throughout their bodies. At first, it was used as camouflage but later became dependent on the plant, often being the Black Loodig Forest Vine, feeding from the nutrients it produced.
Once man evolved and started to clear forests, the tree sprout began to lose its cover. Spending more time out in the open exposed the vine to an abundance of sun which caused the vine to wither and eventually die. The Black Loodig Vine requires shade to be able to grow properly. With the death of its camouflage and lack of habitat, the tree sprouts have been rapidly dying off. The few that remain are considered prized trophies for skilled hunters who still believe they exist. Sightings have been reported but often debunked when it is realized what was seen was just a log.
concept: Rutilisolis africanus "Savannah Sunbird"
Likely the last of an ancient line of flightless birds, possibly related to the Dodo of Mauritius. This species was native to the savannahs and scrub of Africa. The Sunbird got its name from one of the most spectacular mating displays in the animal kingdom. Once it reached maturity the males feathers took on the color and sheen of solid gold. When trying to attract a mate, it pranced about in a small clearing among the dull dried grasses. This usually took place in the midday sun, dazzling the females with a brilliant lightshow. The native peoples were equally amazed and considered it a sign of good fortune. Unfortunately for the Sunbird, its display was like a beacon to every curious land and air predator for miles in every direction. They were not terribly smart or fast on their feet, so most did not survive their first dance.
concept: Papiomyrmecophaga tridactyla
Known as the Masters of Magnetism or the Papiots.
The Papiots would fish for organisms in murky cavern waterways using their specialized eye to bounce magnetic waves off the riverbed. Propped up on all four arms with their head in the river, they would comb their serrated snout along the bottom to catch their meals. These creatures originally boasted a balanced diet of many different river organisms. One plentiful plankton-like organism was their favorite seeing that they were magnetically charged making them extremely easy to spot and catch. Eventually they began to focus their attention solely on these magnetically charged organisms as they discovered a hearty diet of these organisms tremendously boosted their control over magnetic waves throughout their bodies. Their snout evolved to accommodate fishing for these organisms and lost the ability to feed on other organisms. This led to their demise.
