With rippling, coiled muscles, the sculptures of Masao Kinoshita stand skinned and erect. Working with materials ranging from wood to resin to bronze, the Japanese sculptor uses an aesthetic we normally associate with natural history museums to render athletic, flexing creatures of the sea and land. Save for their multiple heads and engorged limbs, these beasts could easily be ancestors of man.
Kinoshita draws much of his inspiration from diverse mythologies, religions and folklores from around the globe. Fusing narratives across space and time, the horned maenads of ancient Greece live alongside the Yoga Asura deities of Buddhism in a visceral, animalistic universe where fitness reigns supreme. The Hindu god Ganesh poses confidently while a human baby and a small teddy bear develop muscles of similar size and strength.
Given the artist's knowledge of folklore and spiritual histories, we might interpret his massive, hulking walrus as a nod to the beast mentioned in Alice in Wonderland, who is widely assumed to represent the Buddha. Built from wood, he would certainly seem at home in the story of "The Walrus and the Carpenter," but his soulful eyes maintain a divine dignity that eluded Lewis Carroll's infamous character.
Throughout Kinoshita's impressive body of work, the physical and the metaphysical are allowed to coexist. Where modern religions condemn the pleasures of the body and exalt in those of the spirit, these sculptures present a world wherein the gods themselves are proud—even arrogant, as the case may be with those thong-wearing bodybuilders—to live within mortal anatomies. Take a look. (via HiFructose)

Since last spring about fifteen
new books have been added to the
library. Five speech books contain-ing
after dinner and other speeches,
five zoology books, and five chem-istry
books have found places on
the library shelves.
Of all the new books added
"Magic in a Bottle" by Silverman,
which is "the true narrative of ten-wonder
working drugs of the
doughty men who, wittingly or un-wittingly,
discovered them," proved
to me the most fascinating.
This tells the story of the drugs
of morphine, quinine, cocaine, nov-ocaine,
digitalis, ,hormoes, the life
giving vitamins, and the wonder
drug, sulfanilamide. These weighty
discoveries are described with a
rare sence of humor and by a
method through which we gain a
keen appreciation of human beings
and their character.
Miss Nelson hopes to obtain
many more new books soon.

Homecoming Is
Called Oct. 77
Dahlquist, Banquet Speaker;
Sports, Dorm are Featured
October 17 has been announced
by Student Council president, Dury
Miller, as official "Homecoming"
day at Bethel.
The alumni classes as separate .
units have been challenged by the
publicity committee (Elving Ander-son,
chairman) to stage a reunion
of their entire class. An hour and
a half has been set aside (3:00-
4:00 p. m.) for the various classes
to reunite over coffee-cups in the
Coffee Shop.
Reverend Lloyd Dahlquist of
Waukegan, will be the principal
speaker at the evening banquet,
according to a statement by Grant
Samuelson, program chairman.
Special music will be provided
by the Bethel Male Quartet, Harry
Abrahamson, Francis McOlash,
Truman Halvorson, and Laurence
Nydegger, the Bethel Male Chorus,
and the Bethel Band.
An interesting note of the Male
Chorus number will be the fact that
Chorus alumni will be asked to
sing and the Chorus on that eve-ning
will be enlarged by graduated
The day's theme is "Measure
of Christ." This theme will prob-ably
be carried out in the decora-tions
for the banquet. Truman
Halvorson is the chairman of the
decorations committee.
Warren Johnson is supervisor of
banquet arrangements; Bob Dis-chinger
is chairman of the souvenir
Athletic contests, softball (Sem-inary
vs. College) and basketball
(Alumni vs. Varsity) and a double
tour of the Dormitories will fill
the heavy schedule planned for the
Twenty-five Piece Band
Practices Under McOlash
At the present time there are\
approximately twenty-five mem-bers
in the Bethel Band. The offi-cers
elected at a recent meeting
are Elving Anderson, president;
Ruth Nelson, secretary; Elwood
Anderson, librarian; and Ellwood
Norquist, assistant librarian. Fran-cis
McOlash is the student director.
In order that the band may grow
there is a need for larger instru-mentation.
If you play an instru-ment
you are urged to "come out
for band and help make it the best
in Bethel's history!"
There will be a "roll of bugles
and a ruffle of drums" every
Thursday at four o'clock when the
band meets for its regular, rehear-sal
in the college chapel.

What's What
In the Dorm
by E. W.
"Babies will play and fools will
look on." No; it was just the splash
of water-melon during a brawl of
some of our dignified seminary stu-dents
as the desire to play over-came
them, and a pugnacious in-stinct
got the better of them.
The telephone booth was the
scene of great excitment Saturday
nite. Many a fellow rolled out of
bed rubbing his eyes, and dashed
down to the telephone Just to hear
the voice of some gal who thought
it was great sport to entertain
preachers at midnight.
Saturday Morning—"Clean linen,
clean linen, every-body out for
clean linen." . .. "Any fool can go
to bed, but it takes a real man to
get up." . . . Mark Twain.
We understand that Glen Ander-son
drives four hundred miles to
his church. In order to meet all ex-penses
he has to really stress the
offering. Last Sunday Glen thought
he would put more stress on the
need. He told his good folk all
about the need of the church and
the poor in the community, and of
his heavy travelling expenses.
Then he asked that his deacon
come forward and take the offer-ing.
The deacon passed the hat up
and down the aisle and then came
back to the front to have the gift
blessed. Glen looked down into the
hat, and up into the blue, and said
"Thank Goodness, I got my hat
The only exercise that Kenny
Norquist gets is that from jumping
at conclusions. We wonder if Lor-raine
is included in that conclu-sion?
Paul Larson was found wander-ing
around the hall the other nite.
Some one asked him what he was
doing, and he replied that he was
in a fog. We find out that he was
studying German.
True Meaning
Of Education
The term education has been
summed up by Webster as, "The
sum of the qualities acquired
through individual instruction and
social training." In other words,
education really consists of laying
hold of those facts and that know-ledge
which we gain, in and out
of the classroom, which benefits
us as to our thinking, our ability
to get along with and understand
our fellow men, and, in general,
in the building of a desirable char-acter.
Every day, in most of our classes,
we are confronted with problems.
These particular matters may not
face us in our daily life, but the
primary advantage that we derive
is that through this thinking we
become more open minded and
broaden our outlook. Each time
we have solved some problem we
are better equipped to work out
the next one more carefully and
clearly. We are not prejudiced by
another's view or opinion, but we
will learn to compare and answer
through the faculty of our own
judgment. Life is made up of a
great many perplexing problems
which we will be better fit to
Education is not merely learning
to do a thing well. It is not storing
up knowledge in the memory.
Newman states, "Education is the
preparation for knowledge and it is
the imparting of knowledge in pro-portion
to that preparation." I
believe that a great many people
are under the general impression
that education is only the acquir-ing
of head knowledge. This serves
us to no avail whatsoever unless
we prepare our minds beforehand
to comprehend to the best of our
ability this learning and to put
it into practice in the best possible
Illuminating the Alumni
"Who pass through these por-tals,
pass forever" has been said
over and again. Contrary to what-ever
truth that may hold, Bethel
portals have been brightened once
more by returning alumni "just
peeping in."
Seen about our corridors have
been university students whom
Bethel claims as intimate acquaint-ences.
Among them are Jeanette
Peterson, Maurice Valine, Ruth
Elaine Lundquist, Joyce Nelson,
Archie Johnson, Betty Swanson and
Betty Danielson.
Bemoaning their self-imposed
exile from Bethel lads, I mean labs,
are the new nurses at Mounds, Lu-cille
Peterson, Betty Jo Anderson,
"Ginnie" Lundholm and Marion
Lindberg who have frequented old
haunts, recalling pleasant mem-ories
of days never to be lived
The familiar faces of Muriel Pet-ersen,
"Snuffy" Smith, Del Ray
Peterson, Elna Finstrom, Hazelle
Fossum, Arlene Johnson, Viola
Waihela, Stanley Paulson, Louise
Joonson, Ned Holmgren, Mary Ann
Liljenstrom, Ruth K. Olson, and
others have been welcome addi-tions
to the coffee shoppe tables
and crowded hallways.
Seeing friends from former
classes once again reminds us that
Homecoming is not far hence and
we shall see many more old school-mates
idling through the portals
of Bethel.

John which read : "Now are we the

How do you think of yourself?
As a child of the King? There are
people, it is true, who have a low
view of life. Judas selling out
Christ; men selling out virtues and
love for a mess of licentious pot-tage.
Citizens selling their votes

also to have a high view of life.

9Y 9k the Book!
Last Monday night on one of the dramatic radio programs, por.
tions of the Song of Solomon were very expressively read. A spellbound
listener, hearing these magnificent soul-stirring outpourings of love,
queried, "Is that in the Bible?"
Have you ever been in a position where you wished that the earth
would swallow you up? The earth really did open up and receive to its
bosom some unworthy souls. Did you know that or would you have said
"Is that in the Bible?
Could you trace the titles of some of today's best literature to the
Bible, such as GIANTS IN THE EARTH, MY SON, MY SON, GRAPES
OF WRATH, and THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S?
Every person has at fingertip disposal the opportunity of an un-limited
education. And the person who does avail himself of the Bible's
great truth and stories can make the declaration, "That IS in the Bible",
to the question, "Is that in the Bible?"
We search the world for truth. We cull
The good, the true, the beautiful,
From graven stone and written scroll,
And all old flower-fields of the soul;
And, weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from our quest,
To find that all the sages said
Is in the Book our mothers read.

Split Boarding Club
Creates Dissention
Reporter Marks Comments
Within about three weeks the
girls will begin eating in the dining
hall of the new dormitory instead
of at the Boarding Club. Many of
the students regret that the two
sexes will be separated. Your rov-ing
reporter could find no one who
was entirely in favor of the change.
Typical of the comments he heard
on the subject were the following:
Margaret Erickson — "I like it
the way it is, but I'd like to sleep
half an hour later in the morning
and come to breakfast in a house-coat."
Elving Anderson —"I don't think
it (the new ararngement) will be
so hot."
David Carlson — "I don't like the
idea; I think we have more fun
Helen Heitzman —"I like it just
the way it is."
Dana Larson — "I think the fel-lows
will let loose a little bit when
the girls are gone; I'm sure I will
Lois Nelson — "I like it the way
it is, but would be terrible in the
winter for us girls to walk a whole
block before breakfast."
Herbert McDonald — "There's no
place else you can get away from
them (the women), so why not eat
with them, too?"
Violet Carlson —"I'd like to try
it and see how it works out."
"Vernie" Johnson made a very
plausible suggestion, "I think it
would be a good idea to put half
the boys and half the girls in each
It would seem at the present time
the students are rallying for the
Boarding club. Innovation means
progress" and this change certainly
is an innovation. In several months
this arrangement will have had op-portunity
to prove its progression.
Let's each one of us give this proj-ect
our whole-hearted support until
it has proved its worth.

Fracas Preview
We are again approaching that
time of year when the thoughts of
all Bethel students, former stu-dents,
and friends return to Bethel.
Yes, we again are approaching
Homecoming, an annual event at
Bethel. October 17 has been set
aside as the date of this great occa-sion.
Among the things that are done
at Homecoming is the basketball
game between the varsity and the
alumni. Because of the shortness
of the time, a rule has had to be
made that only lettermen still in
school this year will be permitted
to play on the varsity squad. The
alumni have promised a strong
team with such stars as Bobby
Hovinen, Del Ray Peterson, Doll
Johnson, Stan Paulson, and several
others playing. Bobby Hovinen was
the litle man who tied up many of
his larger opponents during his
Bethel basketball playing days. Del
Ray and Don were all-conference
men for Bethel two years ago.
Stanley Paulson possesses one of
the best push shots that ever have
been shown at Bethel.
Perhaps ''Tex" Tedlund and Gor-die
Peterson will also play for the
alumni. Gordie was Bethel's cap-tain
last year.
The Varsity won the game last
year, so the strong Alumni Club
is out to avenge this defeat. It
should really be an excellent bas-ketball
game even if it is played so
early in the season. Be prepared
to come out and root your favorite
team on to victory.
Bethel Athletes Must Pass
All Carried Credit Hours
In the last issue of the Clarion,
it was stated that the conference
had passed a new rule on the eli-gibility
of players. This is right,
and the rule they passed was:
"Anyone who carries at least ten
credits and who passes in all ten
of these is eligible for conference
play in the Southern Minnesota
Conference. If a player carries fif-teen
and passes only ten he is yet
This is the rule carried by the
conference at the present time but
Bethel has a rule concerning this
and did not alter it after the change
in the Conference rule. According
to Bethel's eligibility rule, a player,
to be eligible to play on the Bethel
team, has to pass every credit hour
he is carrying whether it be ten
credits or more, and a player can
carry no less than ten credits.
Dr. Hagstrom has often said, "So
let's remember, fellows, that we
really want a team this year and
the one way we can have it is to
have every player eligible. Ineligi-bility
has ruined more than one
squad. Let's study now and not
later, so we won't ruin the team's
fate Release !
By secret ballot, during a meet-ing
held last Thursday by "B" bas-ketball
men, Gene Nyman and Tru-man
Halvorson were unanimously
elected co-captains of the basket-ball
team for the '41-'42 year.

Conference Schedule
Has Four Home Games
Incomplete as Yet
Although Coach Adam has not
yet completed the schedule for the
basketball year of '41-'42, many
strong teams have been scheduled.
Bethel is in the S. M. J. C. C. and
therefore meets the other teams in
this conference at least once, and
often twice. Coach Adam is trying
to procure games with Brainerd
Junior College and Sioux Falls Ju-nior
This Sioux Falls school has just
been changed from a four year col-lege
to a junior college and should
have a very strong club. The
schedule, although it is not yet
completed, includes:
December 5, Northwestern Home
December 6, Farm School Away
December 12, Open*
December 13, Open*
December 17, Concordia Home
January 10, Waldorf Home
January 17, Rochester Home
January 24, Open*
January 30, Tracy Away
January 31, Worthington Away
February 15, Albert Lea Away
February 18, Concordia Away
February 27, Bethany Away
February 28, Luther Away
*Coach Adam hopes to fill these
open dates soon.
Intra-Mural Competition
After a short delay in the intra-mural
competition, because of the
forced absence of Coach William
Adam, the gym teams are back in
full swing with each team fighting
to come out on top. Those who are
ahead are striving to stay there,
and those who are behind are of
course doing all they possibly can
and playing as if they were in the
lead and not behind at all.
At the present time, Al Walker
is leading his team, the Trojans, to
victory over Melvin Wyman's team
with a 4 to 0 lead. Although Mel's
team is behind they are still striv-ing
to break the ice and they hope
to slide in to victory. All of the
players on the Trojan's and the
Wolverines are Freshmen and play
Monday and Wednesday during the
fourth period.
During the sixth period, also on
Mondays and Wednesdays, there
is also another pairing of Fresh-men
teams which are battling back
and forth. The Gophers and the
Huskies. They are captained by
Bob Bergerud and Bernie Hammer-beck.
At the present time, it is a
real battle with each team having
two victories.
The Gophers started the season
by winning the first two, but be-cause
of the speed of Bernie's Hus-kies,
ithey have come back holding
the Gophers scoreless the last two
games and winning each by a score
of 12 to 0.
The Huskies have missed the
brilliant playing of Gene Johnson,
who was injured a short while ago,
but they are doing their best and
looking forward to having Gene
back cheering his team on to vic-tory
from the sidelines if not on
the field playing.
In the sixth period on Tuesday
and Thursday, the Sophomores
have their chance to battle it out.
At the present time the Jack-rab
bits are leading over the Badgers
by 2 wins and no losses. But both
of these games have been so close
that it looks as if either one could
be the winner at the end of the
tournament. The first game being
won 6 to 0 on a last minute pass
and the second also being won 24
to 18 with about thirty seconds to
go. Both teams have good passing
ability with Bob Dischinger on the
Jackrabbits and Gustafson and Bob
Norstrom on the Badgers.
Because of this passing activity
the games have been loaded with
thrills. Of course, each team is try-ing
to win because the winner will
be crowned Touch-football Cham-pion
of the school and will play the
flashy Seminary team to see who
will reign as all- school champs of
Nyman Sets Pace of
Re-vitalized Club
Having been elected unani-mously,
Gene Nyman took over the
presidency of the B Club last
Thursday. Others elected at this
initial meeting of Bethel lettermen
were: Warren Johnson, vice-presi-dent,
and Truman Halvorson, sec-retary-
The club then discussed the pos-sibility
of securing such attrac-tions
as Ted Williams, national bat-ting
champion of '41, Dick Wildung,
important tackle on the University
of Minnesota football team, and
several others, as guests at various
meetings during the coming year.
Securing the reel taken of the
University of Minnesota team in
action and running it off at a spe-cial
meeting was also discussed.
"Splash parties" were suggested
and the matter was referred to the
executive committee who are in-structed
to look into the subject—
use of a pool, cost, etc.
In an effort to include all the
men in school in an organized
extra-curricular sports activity pro-gram
a committee was named to
organize a set-up whereby Bethel
moil might meet together in the
evening and play hand-ball, volley-ball,
badminton, etc., and to secure
ne ,s: equipment for such a venture.
The ambitious program of the
"B" Club promises a vital and
worth while program for the school
year. Men are asked to be on the
alert for notices of future meetings
and parties they may attend and
grow socially active in the club,
as the club program gains num-bers
and impetus.
Aggies Challenge Bethel
Recently Coach "Bill" Adam was
challenged by the Farm School
coach to play them a touch-football
game. Confident that he could get
enough good material together for
the game, Coach Adam was glad to
accept the challenge and agreed on
the date.
Later he discovered that Bethel
did not have school on Armistice
Day, so the game had to be called
off. This was rather disappointing
as the players chosen were very
anxious to play.
If it is at all possible, however,
the game will be played later, and
if it proves to be worthwhile, the
game will be made an annual af-fair.

Kim Jong-Un Is a Dictator, According to His 'Hipster' Nephew
In a recent interview with Finnish journalist (and former United Nations undersecretary general) Elisabeth Rehn, Kim Han-sol, the grandson of deceased North Korean looker-at-things Kim Jong Il, called his Uncle Kim Jong-un a "dictator." Despite the obviousness of the statement, this is big news because, well, there probably aren't too many people in his family willing to say shit like that in public, if at all.
The interview, which took place in Bosnia, where the 17-year-old Han-sol is studying, was revelatory in other ways, too. For instance, the Washington Post notes Han Sol was wearing "hipster glasses," which means he was wearing glasses. (Plus, his granddad's glasses were way more "hipster"-ish.)
Also noteworthy: the young Korean expat never met his grandfather:
''I was actually waiting for him... till before he passed away, hoping he would come find me, because I really didn't know if he knew that I existed," he said.
That's almost sort of sad. He also talked about his dad, Kim Jong-nam, the elder son of Kim Jon Il and a notorious Disney World-loving fuck up who was passed over for leadership.
"My dad was definitely not really interested in politics," Kim Han-sol said, when asked why his father was passed over for succession.
Han-sol also seems like a decent enough kid. ''I would like to engage in more humanitarian projects, work to contribute to building world peace, especially back home because that is a really important part of me,'' he said in the interview.
Nevermind that would be waste of time, considering North Korea is all joyful dolphinariums and world class flowers.

KeyLimeTie needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 54 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Pop's Italian Beef & Sausage
Pop's Italian Beef & Sausage is a local fast food restaurant chain serving the greater Chicago area with various lunch and dinner menu items, specializing in fresh Italian beef & sausage sandwiches.
Any consumer interested in freshly-made Italian beef sandwiches and a variety of other lunch and dinner menu items.
Pop's Italian Beef & Sausage is interested in a complete redesign for their website located at popsbeef.com. Look and feel should be clean, organized and fun, primarily using the logo colors (reds, black/white) throughout the layout, with occasional accents of yellow. The homepage design is essential and should consist of the following elements:
• Logo (included in link below - please use circular version!)
• Tagline – "Our Beef is Cooked and Sliced Fresh Daily"
• Main Navigation – within header area or side navigation depending on your design:
• Home
• About Us
• Menus
• Locations
• In The News
• Contact Us
• "Find A Location" (Enter city & state or zip code, with a submission button) – likely built into header
• Large area for Flash animation – will animate through different menu items (use provided images in link below).
• The main body area should have a column or section for specific calls to action, see example sites (Al's Beef) below.
• An area for a testimonial – something that would carry through to subsequent pages, alternating through different testimonials. Feel free to create your own copy for placement.
• A brief footer for copyright information and navigation.
(continued below)
(continued from above)
Examples of competing restaurant's websites are buona.com, portillos.com, and alsbeef.com. We feel Portillo's website is too busy/generic and Buona's website is appealing in its simplicity but less refined in terms of design. Al's Beef is appealing in design and feel, the testimonials are excellent, and having call to action items along the side is appealing as well.
An optional element for addition is a illustrative cartoon (not animation) showing how fast Pop's "fast food" really is (i.e. The owner tossing beef sandwiches to happy customers), essentially saying "subs so fast you'll freak" in a fun cartoonish way.
Download of logo & primary imagery:
This link contains the vector logo files to use for the website, along with a selection of menu item images for use on the homepage and possibly throughout the website (depending on your design). If necessary, feel free to edit, mask backgrounds, enhance colors, etc., of these images to improve the appeal of the photography. Please note the roast beef sandwiches are most important and should be highlighted over the other menu items.
Please note: For the contest, please design the homepage only. Upon winning the contest, the winning designer is required to design two additional webpages (for example: location search, restaurant menu). We will script the HTML/CSS ourselves based on the chosen design and subsequent pages.
Updates and feedback will be provided daily. Thank you for your interest and participation!

Easy and Frugal Gluten-Free Cooking 1: Potato Latkes and Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Recipes
The last time I went grocery shopping, I have to admit, it was something of an unpleasant shock. I've noticed the price of certain things (dairy, produce, etc.) sneaking up, but this time I was shopping somewhere different than normal and I was so depressed when I found out that it really wasn't cheaper to shop there than anywhere else. Bummer. Despite the fact that pretty much everything is going up-up-up in price, there are still some ingredients out there that are almost reasonably priced, if you shop carefully. Here in the Bay Area, we have a great shop called the Milk Pail that sells inexpensive produce and imported cheese. We also have a ton of international grocery stores (Hispanic, Asian, etc.) where you can get great prices on produce. Not buying certain protein sources helps with maintaining a budget- and not going crazy with dairy helps too. I've also had another issue- mainly, the fact that I've been so darned busy with school I haven't had time to make the kind of elaborate, time consuming recipes that I love. So, I decided to start a new regular feature here at the book of yum called "Easy and Frugal Gluten-Free Cooking" to showcase recipes that are ideal for those on a budget and pressed for time. Like me, you've no doubt noticed the skyrocketing price of rice. It's so distressing when one of the staple grains of the gluten-free lifestyle is affected- and if it's hard for me, I can only imagine how tough many families are finding it right now. Both of these recipes don't use (much) rice at all, and one is even low-carb for those frugal AND busy gluten-free dieters out there! I hope you enjoy.
DH and I developed this recipe for spaghetti squash lasagna when we were dieting before our wedding, almost six years ago. (It's tough when two cooks get together- you always want to feed each other to show how much you care!) I'm picky about my squash, to say the least. Nothing I hate worse than mushy, overcooked yellow summer squash or zucchini. Yuck. But luckily, spaghetti squash is difficult to ruin. Its stringy, almost crispy noodle-like threads are pleasing texturally and have a lovely, fresh flavor to boot. Combined with italian seasonings and cheese, it's even better. According to Wikipedia, "Spaghetti squash contains many nutrients including folic acid, potassium, vitamin A, and beta carotene. It is also a food low in calories, averaging 75 calories in 8 cooked ounces." Sounds good to me! By the way, I included a dairy free option that is NOT particularly frugal- sorry about that. I just thought it would be yummy. If pine nuts are not in the budget, you could use your favorite processed dairy-free cheese or crumbled tofu ricotta. (Note: you can get a decent price on a large-ish bag of Pine Nuts at Costco- Sam's Club might carry them too, but I'm not entirely sure.) This recipe was developed from a Weight Watcher recipe so can be low in points. You can skip the oil and be skimpy with the cheese if you would like and it will still be a great simple meal!
And I've always had a soft spot for potato latkes. What's not to like about a hearty potato based pancake? I think this is the best potato latke I ever had, and I haveThe Complete Guide to Traditional Jewish Cookingto thank for providing the inspiration. Latkes are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. When I'm in a real rush, sometimes I mix up half a batch of Manischewitz Homestyle Potato Latke Mix and serve it with a little tin of applesauce and (optional) sour cream or yogurt. But, nothing can compete with freshly made latkes with real potatoes and onions. This dish contains eggs for protein, potato as the starchy vegetable base, and I added spinach for some extra vitamins. With the additions, it makes a great complete meal. And, happily, potatoes are still a reasonably priced ingredient that gives a lot of gluten-free bang for your buck.
I hope you enjoy these two recipes as much as I did- and they really are easy and satisfying. Note: hungry husbands may be disappointed if you make them grate cheese and they find out it wasn't for pizza but for low-carb veggie casserole. Ahem. And if said DH's are not dieting, they may want some starchy dish on the side or there are certain to be late night refrigerator raids! That being said, DH enjoyed both of these dishes and I will be making both again!

Gluten Free Potato Latkes Recipe with spinach variation
3 lg baking potatoes, peeled (1.5 lbs)
2 onions, grated
2 tbsp corn meal
2 tbsp rice flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
large handful spinach (optional)
olive oil
applesauce (i like the little individual serving cups)
Grate potatoes in your food processor and place in a strainer or in a clean kitchen towel. Press all the liquid out that you can. Put the grated potato in a large bowl. Put your onions through the food processor grater attachment and then put them in a strainer and let the liquid drain out. Try not to cry. Add the grated onion to the bowl with the grated potatoes and add the corn meal, rice flour, and all ingredients up to the black pepper. Don't add the spinach yet.
Heat your nonstick pan on a burner on medium-medium high. Add a little olive oil to your nonstick pan and let it heat up. Then drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan in pancake shapes. Or, if you like to cuddle your food, you can grab a small handful of the mixture and shape it on the surface of the pan. Fry on medium to medium high heat for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Add extra oil if it seems to dry. Turn and fry the other side until golden brown. You can store it on a baking rack with holes or put it in the oven on a baking sheet to keep warm until you finish making them all. *For spinach variation you can add the spinach to a dry portion of the pan until it wilts and add it to the remaining batter, combining before you fry it up. I made half plain and half with spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
Spaghetti Squash un-lasagna recipe
1 large spaghetti squash
olive oil
pasta seasonings (like Trader Joes)
High quality organic tomato marinara sauce
lowfat mozarella cheese, grated
Combine a little olive oil, pasta seasoning in a small dish and mix thoroughly. You can add a little pressed garlic if you like.
Slice your spaghetti squash in half horizontally and scoop out the inner seeds. Baste with your seasoned olive oil and bake on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan at 375 F for 45 minutes to an hour- until flesh gives slightly at touch. Turn over halfway through if you like. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and then scrape out your squash strands with a fork.
Take a cookie sheet or jelly roll dish and grease with nonstick cooking spray or a little olive oil. Mix with pressed garlic or any extra seasonings if you like. Spread your squash out in one flat surface- almost like pizza! Add a layer of the tomato marinara sauce, fresh spinach, and top with dairy or non-dairy cheese. Bake for 25-45 minutes or until top is golden brown (in case of cheese). Serve and enjoy!

Buying is, if nothing else, an expression of the self.
Clothes, gadgets, movies, furniture, books; each of these represent a tiny fragment of who you are as a person, and how you'd like to be perceived in the world.
When someone asks, "Hey, is that the new iPhone?" or comments "I really like that dress!" it makes us feel good - connected even - and if only for a fleeting moment, we feel anchored to the world around us. It is deeply satisfying knowing our decision to make that purchase made someone notice some part of who we are.
It should come as no surprise then that one of our three core psychological needs is to feel that the things we do matter to others, so that we may relate to them and better understand our place in the universe.
One of the definitive qualities of our era is the pervasiveness of social media in our daily lives. That Americans spend roughly 25% of their waking hours using social media is a testament that many of our "relatedness" needs can be satisfied in a virtual environment.
It's reasonable that sharing with our real life friends online can satisfy those needs, but what if some of those same needs could also be fulfilled by beings that exist solely in a virtual world?
As the final entry of my three part series on what we can learn from video games, we'll examine how developers create NPCs (non-playable characters) in which players can form real emotional bonds with, and how those lessons can be translated into the overall design of a customer's ecommerce experience.
Forming Emotional Bonds With Digital Entities
At first, the idea of developing an emotional connection with a "digital" being sounds crazy. These are programmed 1's and 0's that are incapable of ever feeling anything for you.
It's crazy, until you consider that people have been forming bonds with literary characters for hundreds of years.
Well written characters make you feel the entire spectrum of human emotion. You feel like you're there with them. You're scared when they're scared, you're surprised when their surprised, and you genuinely feel a deep sense of loss if they meet their demise (R.I.P Albus Dumbledore).
As you immerse yourself in their world, it doesn't even occur to you that the characters you've become so attached to are nothing more than text on a page.
In video games, this connection becomes even more real. You, the player, are there with these characters. You're not a passive observer, but an active participant in the story and unlike with the characters in books, it is your actions that determine the outcome for these characters.
In "The Last of Us" you play as single father Joel Miller, who during the prologue fails to protect his teenage daughter Sarah during the initial moments moments of a zombie-like outbreak.
20 years go by and we discover that the outbreak wiped out millions, leaving the U.S in a post-apocalyptic state, forcing survivors to live in militarized quarantine zones.
Joel is a smuggler, and after a series of unfortunate events, he is forced to smuggle Ellie - a headstrong 13 year old girl who may be the key to finding a cure - cross-country from Boston, Massachusetts to Salt Lake City Utah.
As the story unfolds, you and Ellie navigate this post-apocalyptic world, forming a father/daughter like bond, and struggling to keep each other alive.
The relationship with Ellie is visceral; as you play, you become genuinely invested in her well-being. It's because of relationship you form with Ellie that The Last Of Us has been described by critics as "poignant", "well-drawn", and "the most riveting, emotionally resonant story-driven epic" of the console generation. This game is considered by many critics as one of "the greatest video games of all time. "
To understand why players form such a powerful bond with Ellie, PBS's Game/Show explains the psychology behind our relationship with fictional characters.
One reason is because NPCs are functional. They're what sociologists call "Task Attractive" meaning they advance the story and provide you with direction.
In the real world, task attractiveness is causes us to pick the most athletic kid for our basketball team or top performers for a vital work project. We're attracted to these people because we know they can get the job done.
(This is also why we hate them when they're useless.)
Another reason we care about NPC's is because in plenty of games they're the only being in the world that isn't out to kill you.
But what about your feelings are deeper - you know, like when you actually care about Ellie, and you're not just protecting her because it helps you win the game?
The Parasocial Relationship - Why You Emotionally Connect With Beings That Aren't Really "There"
In the 1950's, researchers Donald Horton and Richard Wohl described the ways in which audience members develop one-sided relationships with the media being consumed as "Parasocial Interaction" or PSI.
"PSI is described as an illusionary experience, such that media audiences interact with personas (e.g., talk show host, celebrities, characters) as if they are engaged in a reciprocal relationship with them, and feeling as though a mediated other is talking directly to him or her."
Sometimes these interactions can be developed to the point where audiences begin to view the mediated others as "real friends."
Horton & Wohl found that people form the strongest parasocial relationships when three different conditions were met.
- Non-Verbal Communication
- Physically Attractive and/or Easy For The Audience To Relate To
- The Performer Addresses The Viewer Directly
Research later found that when these three conditions are met, PSI serves two essential functions for the viewer: companionship and personal identity.
For example, a Western Connecticut State University study found that the more time a female college student spent watching daytime dramas, the stronger they would have feelings of "friendship" or "relationship" with onscreen characters.
"Theorists have claimed that these relationships can in some cases be life changing and personality molding, but definately life impacting; More importantly it appears that they can occur and one may not even realize it."
Similar findings have occurred when studying online communities, video games, and of course e-commerce.
How Parasocial Relationships Work In User Experience Design
Let's pause for a moment and reflect on what we've learned about what makes a good NPC companion.
- Task Attractive
- Uses Non-Verbal Communication
- Attractive and/or Easy For The Audience To Relate To
- Addresses The Viewer Directly
If you wanted to buy something, aren't these the exact things you'd want from a site's user experience?
This screenshot for example, fulfills all four of these criteria.
- The copy gives you a task, and provides you with tools to guide you toward it.
- The layout, the "shop now" button and suit work together intuitively so you understand their function.
- The model and the suit are attractive, and the main headline is easy to relate to.
- The headline addresses you directly while the model is facing the viewer.
What I find even more fascinating about this image though, isn't just it's ability to guide you toward the task, but how the model is a projected vision of the viewer.
Look at the message, "Dress Better Than Your Boss" long enough, and you imagine yourself being like the guy in the picture. In your daydream, you imagine the promotions, cocktail parties, and admiration you'd get if you were dressed like that guy. At the same time, that guy also serves as a mentor to help you navigate your new world of success and prestige.
"To say that he is familiar and intimate is to use pale and feeble language for the pervasiveness and closeness with which multitudes feel his presence...They 'know' such a persona in somewhat the same way they know their chosen friends: through direct observation and interpretation of his appearance, his gestures and voice, his conversation and conduct in a variety of situations." Horton & Wohl 1956
This is reflected through many other areas of the site.
Different models embody the same persona, but are shown in different contexts and are guiding you to handle different tasks on the site.
Going deeper into any part of the experience, like when I clicked on the "Showrooms" link, the copy, images, and even quotations, make me feel like the people on the screen are personally invested in my success not just as a customer, but as a happy, healthy human being.
This is all parasocial interaction at work.
It's very difficult to put into words, but I think this is what we're really trying to get at when we discuss typography or product photography or copywriting strategies.
It's not about "taking photos" or "writing descriptions", so much as it about using these as tools to capture the soul of your brand, and make it one people can relate to.
Ongoing Relationship Means Being Consistent
Making a good first impression is the first step in making the first sale of course, but if we're looking about building an "ongoing relationship," we need to think about what it takes to keep people engaged for longer periods of time.
That means applying these relationship building type elements to every tiny detail of your online presence, from the calls to action, to microcopy, to 404 pages, and to each confirmation email.
That also means working these details into a long term follow-up strategy to keep people excited to see communications from your brand.
It is a lot to keep track of, but consistency is important in any relationship, right?
Free People, for example, invites new visitors to sign up for their email newsletter and teases a "treat" for new subscribers.
In their welcome email, you're presented with an offer for free shipping on your first order, a way to use their app on the iPhone, an invitation to their style community along with a few other ways to connect with their brand.
Related: How to Write An Effective Welcome Email
After this, their email strategy becomes a daily invitation to check out their latest collection and newest sale items.
A daily email might seem obtrusive if you're unfamiliar with the brand. But look at the level of detail that goes into each piece; it feels like they're investing in a relationship with you and making your day better.
The subtext of these emails isn't, "Hey, buy more stuff!"
Each email serves as an invitation for you to go back to the Free People world, a world where you are a muse and your fashion sense inspires the people around you, and where you regularly hear, "Oh. My. God. I LOVE your outfit."
It's not just that there are aesthetically pleasing images in these emails either. There's depth to the relationship and lots of things you can "do" together. For example, you could:
- Download their app for exclusive deals
- Read the blog for style tips
- Upload your photo on instagram and get featured on the product page
- Create collections and daydream
- Attend real life music festivals and discover cool music
- Connect with other "Free People" and get fashion tips
- and more
Communicating all of this adds so much more dimension to the brand's personality and the virtual world they create, giving you real reasons to stick around and become invested in their success as a business.
They don't just sell you products.
They sell you confidence, a reason to dream, a form of self expression, and those small fleeting moments of connectedness, where you matter so much in a moment, that another person can't help but remark, "hey, I really like that dress."
When you think about it, the goal of video game designers and ecommerce founders is nearly identical; to create an environment that immerses the player and keeps them wanting to come back for more.
Doing this is straightforward:
- Respect the player's intelligence, allow them to feel competent, and encourage their mastery.
- Provide them with meaningful options so they can choose the best way to accomplish their goal.
- Give them guidance and accompany them on their journey. Give them feedback that their choices make a difference in the world around them.
Build a world they'll have fun exploring. Let their imagination run wild. Give them better ways to buy as a form of self-expression.

Two and a half years after "Disney's The Lion King" roared into Las Vegas in March 2009, the herd at Pride Rock is dispersing to other grasslands. The Las Vegas run of Broadway's sweetheart showcased dancers and vocalists with talent and ferocity, but a smooth criminal named Michael Jackson is slated to reside at Mandalay Bay, the former pride lands.
Lion Kingers have been doing more than their eight-show schedule at Mandalay, though. In the years they've been in Vegas, cast members have organized and participated in benefits, concerts and showcases. This community focus means that they will be missed in more places than just a resort on the Strip.
John Przybys wrote about the show closing in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Check out the story here.
I wrote about "Lion King" showcases on several occasions. Click on the links below to read more.
Check out my original review of "The Lion King." Cast members performed "The Moment" at E Strings bar on Dec. 6 of 2010. "Vegas Vaudeville" and "Live. Love. Dance!" hit the stage at the Horn Theatre on Sept. 16 and April 22, respectively. On Sept. 11, some "Lion King" performers contributed to "God Lives in Glass" at the Judy Bayley Theatre.
"Lion King," in all its theatric splendor, is a production that will be sorely missed, even in an entertainment-saturated market. Whether Pride Rock residents are staying in the city or moving elsewhere, I wish them all the best. Hakuna matata!

Likely Stories
From a wonderful new interview with Brian Evenson by John Madera at Rain Taxi:
Brian Evenson: Some of the stories I always come back to, when I'm teaching full stories and trying to get students to understand how all the different elements of a story are working together, include William Trevor's "Miss Smith," which I think does amazing things with shifting the reader's sympathy; Franz Kafka's "A Country Doctor," which does something amazingly manic with doubling and which may be my favorite story ever; Isak Dinesen's "The Roads Round Pisa" or "The Monkey," both of which do things that I don't think I've ever seen anyone else do; Peter Straub's "Bunny Is Good Bread" and "Lapland," which do very important things in terms of questioning the relation of genre to literature; Denis Johnson's "Car Crash While Hitchhiking," which manages to collapse as a story while still establishing an incredible resonance; D. H. Lawrence's "The Prussian Officer," because it works even though it does all sorts of things that contemporary writers have been taught a story shouldn't do. I often teach Kafka's "A Fratricide"—it's far from his best story, but it's very rich in the things it can teach a writer; I can talk about it for hours. I love, too, to teach Muriel Spark's novellas, Ohle's Motorman, Dambudzo Marechera, Barbara Comyns, Leonard Sciascia, Ann Quin, Jean Echenoz, Eric Chevillard, certain Chekhov stories, Bruno Schulz, Heinrich Böll, Nabokov, Gary Lutz, Stanley Crawford, Kelly Link, etc., etc. There are a lot of writers I draw on and they're different every semester, which is probably why I find it difficult to stick to an anthology. I end up teaching stories that I think are likely to be helpful or important to particular students.

Author Notes: I experimented with incorporating ramps into my standby buttermilk biscuit recipe, boosted with a little yeast – inspired by the method Nancy Silverton uses for her sweet biscuits -- and some semolina for texture. Once baked, the ramps lose their bite and impart their lovely pungent flavor throughout the whole biscuit. —Midge
Food52 Review: Ramps in biscuits is a popular marriage, and Midge has found a way to give her fluffy biscuits a spring time kick. The buttermilk and yeast envelope the ramps' garlicly flavor, while the semolina gives them just enough heft. They make for a great side to fried chicken, and (if there are any left) a worthy pairing for scrambled eggs. —Pervaizistan
Makes: 20 biscuits
tablespoon active dry yeast
teaspoon granulated sugar
cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 3/4
cups AP flour, divided
cup semolina flour
teaspoons baking powder
teaspoon sea salt
teaspoon baking soda
bunch ramps (mine weighed not quite one-third of a pound)
tablespoons unsalted butter, 8 TBS very cold and cubed; 2 TBS melted
tablespoons all-vegetable shortening (like Spectrum)
- In a small bowl, place yeast, sugar, and 4 tablespoons of the AP flour. Add buttermilk and whisk to combine. Cover bowl with a dishtowel and let rest for about 30 minutes, at which point you should see some foaming on the surface.
- Wash and dry the ramps. Roughly chop white and light green parts and mince about 2 tablespoons of the leaves.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine remaining flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and chopped ramps. Add butter and shortening and mix on med-high until pebbly. (Alternatively you can do this with your hands, but move quickly).
- Form a well in the middle of the mixture and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix gently by hand until just combined. The dough will be pretty sticky and wet and seemingly unmanageable, but don't worry.
- Using your (floured) hands, turn the dough out onto floured surface and knead gently just until it starts to have a little spring. Form dough into a ball and squish into a disc about ¾-inch thick. Cut out circles using a biscuit cutter or, if you don't have one, a juice glass works too.
- Brush the biscuits with melted butter and let rest, uncovered, for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Place biscuits about an inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for about 18-20 minutes (or until the biscuits are browned on top), rotating the baking pans halfway through.

A more subdued tone marks this sprawling kingdom of a ranch now that the boss is dead, killed a couple of years ago when his car was demolished by a pickup in the hands of a 20-year-old who had put away way too much bourbon, or something. But the barbecues the boss and Mary Sue held after stock sales or to celebrate holidays with friends and family have become legends in a state where legends don't rise easily. His voice, unabashed and penetrating, can still be heard in his neighbors' memories, booming across the prairie as they celebrate the Fourth of July in Texas.
HK Ranch Barbecue: Fourth of July in Texas
I just love the Fourth of Joo-ly," blared Henry Clay Koontz, the boss. It was late in the evening on a hot and humid south Texas Fourth of July, and Henry was looking out from the upper deck of the HK Ranch pool house to the pasture, where two cowhands were setting off a 30-minute fireworks display that eclipsed the starry night itself. Just a few hours earlier, this same field had been filled with HK cattle, some of the most highly prized Brahman breeding stock in the country. A wind surfer on the pond had scared off a hundred or so. Now the endless prairie seemed deserted except for a lone trailer. Sitting with Henry Clay, guests could see the wide-open range on all sides. On the other side of the ranch house, Joe Padilla, the Mexican head cook, and the top ranch hands were still dishing out the barbecue vittles.
The annual HK Ranch Fourth of July in Texas was fun, Texas-size, orchestrated by Henry Clay and his wife, Mary Sue, for about 200 friends and family members. The ranch, a division of the 35,000-acre family-owned Keeran Ranch, was started in 1867 by Henry's great-grandfather, Captain John N. Keeran, a Texas pioneer. In 1878, Keeran imported the first humpbacked Brahman cattle from India into the Western Hemisphere. Henry Clay's mother was a well-known Brahman breeder and followed in the family tradition. "See those lights there. That's the Luaca Bay, and to the south is the old port of Indianola. That's where my great-grandfather, along with Shanghai Pierce, brought the Brahmans into Texas." Place-do, where the ranch is located, is dotted with gooseneck oil wells and rice and milo fields. It lies about 100 miles south of Houston and 14 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.
Guests approach the HK Ranch through a gate that's decked out in red, white and blue crepe paper flying from the top of a 15-foot centennial yucca plant. A few miles into the ranch on a din road, they pass the original Keeran family homestead, a large white building with 19 columns, now belonging to Emily Keeran Campbell, or Aunt Emma, as she is called.
At a second checkpoint, beyond another fence enclosing yet more prairie, a yes-sir-ee cowboy in Stetson hat and boots meets each guest with a red bandana wrapped around an icy Lone Star beer, while Sousa marches rouse it up in the background.
Mary Sue tells the story that when she and Henry Clay got married, she didn't want to live on the ranch. "We moved into my little house in Victoria, and he drove back and forth to the ranch every day. That lasted about two months, and then late one night he got a phone call. I could tell he was talking about buying and moving . . . something." Fed up with the commute, he was arranging to move a house 20 miles from Victoria to the HK Ranch.
As it happened, the house Henry Clay had bought—sight unseen—that evening was a church bedecked with JESUS SAVES in blue neon lights. Before Mary Sue would step into it, however, Henry Clay had to convert it into a home.
Today clumps of pampas grass lead up to the incongruous house. A swimming pool, bordered with palm trees, sits to its right, with a screened-in pool house containing a kitchen and a dumbwaiter that goes up to the roof terrace, Henry's favorite under-the-stars dining area. On the veranda, with its white wicker rockers and a seven-foot porch swing, a small engraved brass plaque reads: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED HERE IN 1897—a takeoff on the Texas Heritage markers scattered on historical landmarks throughout the state.
For the Fourth of July party, the front lawn—really the front prairie—was filled with burros decked out in straw hats softened with flowers, waiting for the races to begin. From 4:00 until dusk, Mary Sue steered her guests through old-fashioned fun and games: a sack race, croquet, volleyball, softball, horseshoe throwing, spin-the-bottle and water volleyball. Grilled beef sausage on tortillas with Joe Padilla's hot chilipetin sauce woke up the taste buds and got the assembled appetites in gear.
Then Mary Sue stood up on the bandstand, made from an old cattle trailer painted red, white and blue for the occasion and decorated with an HK banner that had hung over their champion Brahmans in recent cattle shows. The sun had gone down, and the bandstand was ablaze with colored lights and candles.
"Listen, you all! As most of you know, we wouldn't be enjoying ourselves so much tonight if it weren't for Joe Padilla and his men," Mary Sue thundered over the loudspeaker before presenting Joe with a trophy. After a short patriotic speech, she let out six doves of peace, rang the freedom bells and had the Mexican mariachi band play its cha-cha rendition of "God Bless America." Eight long picnic tables bordering the swimming pool, the steps of the veranda, the pool-house and pool-roof tables—all now lit with candles—awaited the hungry guests as they shuffled through the buffet line. The quantities of food showed that Joe had earned his award. When Texans say barbecue, they don't mean cooking on a hibachi or gas grill.
Actually the word barbecue comes from barbacoa, a Caribbean Indian word. To a Carib, a barbacoa was a grate of thin green sticks set on sticks upon which meat was grilled over an open fire. The meat was cut into thin strips and slowly cooked. To this method of curing and cooking meat, each immigrant settler added his own favorite spices. For the Indians, a barbecue became a particularly popular means of socializing. They would often go to a beach to bake fish encased in mud in the ashes of a fire or to barbecue pork or chicken (thus the New England clambake). The Indians may have started this custom, but the early Texans felt quite comfortable with it, used as they were to assembling around a cookfire at night after the work of the day was finished.
When Texans Say Barbecue They Mean It
Today Texans grill on 50-gallon oil drums, cut in half lengthwise, hinged and rigged with a rack and a little smokestack. Each device is set on a couple of wheels. The day before the party, ranch hands had gathered prickly mesquite wood. On this particular morning, they had started open fires and stoked barbecue pits with oak and cedar chips. Joe used three grills—two for sausages and a huge one for the chickens. A giant iron bean pot, holding pinto beans the color of terra cotta, was placed on a tripod over an open fire. "You'll find a pot of pinto beans sitting on the stove all day in most south Texas ranch kitchens," Mary Sue explained, "and coffee that's strong enough to walk!" Maria Padilla, Joe's wife, had made corn tamales in the coals of one of the grills. The same method produces hot tamales.
Joe makes up his hot sauce from the tiny, fiery chili pequins that grow all over the ranch. Seventy-one-year-old Annie Todd, the now-retired cook who took care of Mary Sue as a child, made potato salad for the occasion. She sat watching the goings-on, wearing a white apron embossed in red with the ranch's logo and an imposing Brahman.
Later on in the night, 20 or so older guests sat with Henry Clay in his favorite roost, all watching the fireworks display. As the fireworks—and the evening—wound down, Henry Clay decided to help intensify the finale by letting out a loud Texas holler: "Mary Sue, let's hear Kate Smith!" Mary Sue turned on a record. As the red, white and blue firecrackers lit up the sky; the HK Ranch was filled with Kate Smith blasting out "God Bless America." After the fireworks ended, the young people danced on the top deck until 2:00 a.m., while the out-of-towners headed back to their homes. As one guest who had lived for a while in Virginia explained, "You couldn't have this kind of Fourth of July barbecue in the East. You simply don't have the room."Joan Nathan is a freelance writer and a contributing editor to AMERICAN COUNTRY magazine.

DOT Fines United for Failing to Make Timely Refunds; Airline Also Filed Inaccurate and Late Reports
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) today fined United Airlines $350,000 for failing to make prompt refunds to consumers. The Department also cited the airline for filing inaccurate reports of its mishandled baggage and oversales, and failing to file timely reports of incidents involving animals in flight. DOT did not assess a fine for these violations because United disclosed the reporting errors to DOT and took corrective action.
"When passengers are owed a refund, they have the right to expect the airline to act promptly and give them their money back," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "We also expect airlines to file accurate and timely consumer reports so that passengers will have the information they need when choosing an airline."
Airlines are required to process refund requests within seven days of receipt of a complete request when the ticket is purchased by credit card. Refunds must be made within 20 days for tickets purchased by cash or check. United's customer service commitment, posted on its website, pledged to comply with these standards. However, the Department's Aviation Enforcement Office, during an on-site inspection at the airline's headquarters, found that between March and May of 2012, United failed to process over 9,000 refund requests in a timely manner.
In addition, United underreported the number of mishandled baggage reports it received from passengers between January and October 2011 and the number of passengers it bumped, both voluntarily and involuntarily, for each quarter of 2011 from flights on which it sold more tickets than the number of available seats. The underreporting made United's ranking in these categories seem better than it actually was. Also, during 2012 and 2013, United failed to file timely reports for a few incidents involving the death, injury or loss of animals on its flights.
Today's consent order is available at www.regulations.gov, docket DOT-OST-2013-0004.

Many activities. Water sports, cycling, golf, scuba diving, ...
Special to this Feast is the blessing of animals and in Sóller this is followed by games on horseback. Also traditional are the bonfires on the Eve, at which people eat grilled Sobresada and Botifarrones (sausages) and sing songs of St Antony and the Devil, accompanied by the Ximbomba.
Very similar to St Antony, with bonfires and sausages.
Processions of Sa Rua and Sa Rueta (children), Carnival Dances.
Processions for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, in the evening.
Easter Sunday morning procession.
The Feria and Firó are the most popular Fiestas in the town, celebrating the victory of the 'Sollerics' against Saracens who invaded on 11th of May 1561.
After months of preparation, these celebrations last four days, during which a number of sporting events and traditional ceremonies take place, notably a Proclamation of the Fiesta and the Investiture of the 'Valient Women', chosen to represent historical figures who had the courage to defend their honour against the Saracens, and the Offering of Flowers to the Virgin of the Victory.
The Fiesta has two distinct parts. The Fira is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, when local artisans display and sell their craftwork and the country fair displays local produce and animals.
The other part is the Firó, on the Monday after the Fira. This is the grand celebration, carefully organized, months ahead, by the groups taking part. There is an historical re-enactment of the Saracen invasion, from the landing on the beach in the Port to the feverish defence by the Sollerics who, after three battles finally defeat them in the Plaza of Sóller.
The Firó involves much noise, with explosions, gunshots and firecrackers and the enthusiasm of the Sollerics for their town and history is joyfully displayed.
On the Eve of this Fiesta bonfires are lit to celebrate the beginning of Summer.
The Fiesta of the Fishing Community of Sóller Port, remembering the Patron Saint of Fishermen with various ceremonies and sporting events.
In which this district honours the Virgin of the Victory with various sporting and commemorative cultural activities.
Celebrated with various activities for children and adults.
Celebrating the Mother of God with various festive and cultural activities.
Feast of the Patron Saint of Sóller.
These are more family based celebrations than the Fira and Firo. Being a local fiesta 'Sóllerics' can enjoy themselves and celebrate more intimately, having fewer visitors, as normally this is not a holiday elsewhere in the island. Apart from cultural activities, exhibitions, concerts and sports etc, the group 'Esclatabutzes' organize a firework display, which has established itself as one of the most important displays in the island.
In recent years much has been done by the authorities to improve the infrastructure, the marine facilities etc., and the opening of the Museum of the Sea in Santa Catalina, all assisted by the Plan for Touristic Excellence.
The transformation of our Port of Soller into a quality zone has had a positive influence in stimulating cultural activities. The ancient monastery Santa Catalina has become the Museum of the Sea and greatly to the benefit of classical music enthusiasts we now have the oratorio as a concert hall.
The Sóller Hoteliers Association decided, in 2005, to go further and to contribute to this raising of the quality of the area, proposed organizing a Festival of Classical music to bring a touch of class and distinction to the Port of Sóller.
The Festival is customarily held in October and artists of international repute take part in the concerts and give us unforgettable hours: Alexander Malter, Rainer Sonne, Dietmar Schwalke, Christian Stadelmann, Evelina Dobraceva, Dresdner Stringtrio, Chieko Yokoyama, Nikolay Borchev, etc.
This is a Festival started by 'Aires Sóllerics' which brings together groups from all over the world and has been held for over twenty years. During the eight day Festival the groups display their dancing to the public and at the same time enjoy cultural exchanges with one another with the aim of learning about other cultures.
The Season, 'Winter in Mallorca' takes place from November to April all over Mallorca.
In Sóller it usually takes the form of concerts, mainly classical music interpreted by distinguished artists, ensembles, choirs and orchestras from various countries. There are also demonstrations, folk dancing, excursions and cultural visits.

With his brother Jesse acting as his creative director, snowboarding superstar Shaun White worked closely with Oakley during the creation of Holbrook.
Together they went back to vintage styles like the original Oakley Frogskins® then set out to distill their own vision of American cool. Holbrook is a timeless classic that echoes the screen heroes from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, the icons who inspired youth with their own brand of defiance. Who was the legend? He was sometimes a loner and sometimes a leader, an everyman who lived by a code, stood up for what was right and did what needed to be done. You wouldn't call him a man's man because that macho crap meant nothing to him. What you saw was what you got, including dust from the open road and a look that said he might be gone tomorrow because nothing could hold him.
The name "Holbrook" came from a similar inspiration. Holbrook is a small town found along historic Route 66 in Arizona that sits on the outskirts of the painted desert and the petrified forest. It's a classic western badland that epitomizes a spirit of exploration and adventure found in those traveling along Highway 66 in the 50's and 60's.
Metal bolts and icons highlight the stress-resistant O Matter® frame, a comfortably lightweight design with pure Plutonite® lenses that filter out every ray of UV. Optical precision and impact resistance meet ANSI Z87.1 standards to give you superior clarity and protection. Multiple lens/frame combinations are available. Choose one with Oakley HDPolarized lenses for filtering that cuts more than 99% of reflected glare. The versions that come with Iridium® lens coating reduce even more glare while balancing light transmission. Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses are available with a full range of options.
For polarized version of the Oakley Holbrook, please visit: Oakley Holbrook Polarized Sunglasses
Inspired by Shaun White and reminescent of vintage Oakley eyewear, the Holbrook sunglasses bring style and sun protection to any activity.

I have owned these for 2 years and absolutely love them. They are light, fit great and have a snap on mechanism for the arms. I tried a million times to post a picture of the mechanism but I promise you they are reliable and detach at the right times. The only downside to these glasses is they are insanely popular and every person with 100 bucks looking for something other than ray bans ends up with these glasses. That's not by chance, its because they are a great pair of glasses.
I wanted the glossy black with polarized lenses so I ended up buying the Shaun Whites and replacing the yellow lenses for the polarized ones. I wear these for absolutely everything and they have held up great. I ski, backpack, and mtn bike with them. The polarized lenses do awesome for my fly fishing trips and I've even blown them apart after a volley ball spike to the face. Extremely durable and they fit my narrow cone head perfect. Love them.
Three years later, the Oakley Holbrook Sunglasses are still my favorite to wear around town, on the boat, or even on a climb. Fits great around the head. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a new style of trendy glasses. Many colors to choose from, as well as multiple variations of lenses that are interchangeable. Overall, these glasses are an absolute favorite of mine and will stay with me for many years to come.
So if you have a bigger head that requires bigger sunglasses, but you don't want to look like a bug-eyed college girl, these Oakleys are good for you.
A heads up, if you're not into bling, be careful with what color you get. I originally went with the Amber color, but the metallic gold Oakley symbol on the sides was awful. I returned them and went with the grey and black ones, and am quite satisfied.
I bought these sunglasses over the winter after I got tired of my Jupiters sliding off my face and was thrilled with the fit. They rarely ever slide around and look nice. I've also dropped them plenty of times and have yet to find a scratch on them. Oakley is the way to go. I have had nothing bad to say about any of their products and their eyewear is top notch.
I love the fit of these shades. They are perfect for any activity you throw at them. The super lightweight frame and perfect size lens fit best. The frame/lens color combos are killer as well. These are also super durable. I have dropped them on the boat before and they just bounce right back.
If you don't know..you should. I own multiple pairs. They are the only sunglasses I will wear. They combine the oldschool look of frogskins with a more refined and squared off design. They will fit just about any face.. they are PERFECT!
this is my second pair of holbrooks. the first pair i ordered directly from oakley. the first pair says "made in the u.s.a." on the right arm. the pair i ordered from backcountry says nothing about where they are made. i'm a bit shaken that backcountry sold me knock-off oakleys.
