kdesrc-build (formerly kdesvn-build) is a tool to allow users and developers to easily download and build the latest versions of the KDE Software Compilation (KDE SC) from the KDE source code repositories. It automates the following tasks and more:
It is not the end-all for your troubles building KDE, Troubleshooting still applies. Many errors that occur using other methods occur here too, you read the log files that are stored for you.
So why use kdesrc-build? There are several reasons you may like to use it:
kdesrc-build is fairly easy to install and setup, but you also need to have the right software installed to build KDE. The requirements to build KDE are available as follows:
kdesrc-build requires Perl 5.10 or higher. It is installed by default with most distributions, and is included in the link above. Check your version of Perl with:
perl -v
You will also need libwww (sometimes called LWP), a collection of Perl Internet-related modules, and XML::Parser to support the XML-based KDE Project database. Both of these modules are extremely common and should be available in your distribution's packager manager. For example for SUSE install them with
yast -i perl-libwww-perl
kdesrc-build itself may be packaged on your distribution, which allows you to easily install its dependencies as well. (Debian provides packages and a Fedora package is pending a fix to the kdesrc-build sources).
|kdesrc-build is developed on a Linux system, but it should work on the various BSD distributions as well (although GNU tools may be required).
Download kdesrc from git like this:
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kdesrc-build.git ~/kdesrc
Now you should setup your configuration. For the most part the defaults in the included kdesrc-buildrc-sample should be sufficient.
cp ~/kdesrc/kdesrc-buildrc-sample ~/.kdesrc-buildrc
Now you can start kdesrc-build using the commands
cd ./kdesrc/kdesrc-build
Now you can edit the configuration file ~/.kdesrc-buildrc
|Note that the config file's name begins with a leading ., making it a hidden file. You may need to show hidden files in Dolphin or Konqueror to find the configuration file to edit it. Or, you can edit the sample before copying it to ~/.kdesrc-buildrc.
Also, make sure that the modules you'll want to build are included. You'll want the following at the least:
Modules are built in the order they appear in your ~/.kdesrc-buildrc, so the first module should be qt-copy, kdelibs should be before any other KDE SC module, and so on.
|The sample configuration file does include these modules by default, you won't need to make many changes unless you'd like to add some modules to the build by uncommenting them.
You may want to enable the make-install-prefix option if you are installing KDE SC or Qt to a directory that is not in your home directory. make-install-prefix allows you to run su or sudo during the make install process so you can install files as root, or set certain programs to execute with higher permissions (This is required for certain programs to execute properly).
module kdelibs make-install-prefix sudo -S # sudo with no stdin end module module kdebase make-install-prefix sudo -S end module
If a module you'd like to build isn't already present, simply add
module <module-name> end moduleat the end of the ~/.kdesrc-buildrc. <module-name> would be whatever the module is called in the software repository (for instance, kdemultimedia).
Some KDE projects use the "git" source-control software instead of Subversion (as part of an ongoing migration to git). This includes software like Amarok and Konversation.
To build these modules in kdesrc-build, you just need to add a couple of lines to the module configuration. For example, konversation is developed in the Git repository at [1]. So you would just add a module (you can pick whatever name for the module you like, as long as it's not already used):
module konversation repository git://anongit.kde.org/konversation branch master end module
In this case I selected the "master" branch since that is the default git branch.
Now whenever you build konversation, kdesrc-build will use git instead of Subversion.
kdesrc-build is driven from the command line, so here's a guide to some of the more useful command line options:
|--pretend (Short form -p)
|This option is like a dry run. kdesrc-build will process the options and its configuration like normal, and run through the build as normal, but instead of downloading or running the build will instead output what kdesrc-build would have done. You should always run with -p before running kdesrc-build to make sure it is doing what you expect.
|--no-svn (Alt. form --no-src)
|This option skips the source code update step. This is useful if you're running kdesrc-build again soon after the last update and don't want to wait to find out there were no changes.
|This option causes kdesrc-build to delete the current build information for the given modules and start building them again from scratch. This option takes a lot of time but gives the best chance of a successful build.
Any other non-option arguments on the command line are assumed to be modules to build (and are built in the order provided on the command line). If no modules are specified, all of the modules listed in the ~/.kdesrc-buildrc are built in the order listed in the file.
We're almost there. If you're happy with your settings then it's time to test out kdesrc-build. In theory things are as simple as running kdesrc-build and then coming back later. ;)
cd ~/kdesrc
You may want to test by building qt-copy first however.
cd ~/kdesrc
./kdesrc-build qt-copy
|If you have the GNU screen program available then you should definitely use it to run kdesrc-build, as you can detach your kdesrc-build session and logout while kdesrc-build is still running.
If the build failed (kdesrc-build will error out with a nice bright red error message) then there are several possibilities:
How do you find out what the error was? The output of the failing command will be in the log directory. By default, all log output is in the log subdirectory of the KDE SC source directory. The log directory is laid out like this: log/date-run/module/output-file.log. To simplify finding the appropriate file, there are a couple of symlinks created:
log/latest always has the debugging output for the last time kdesrc-build was run (--pretend doesn't count toward this) log/latest/<module>/error.log has the debugging output for the command that caused a module build to fail.
For instance if qt-copy just failed to build you could read the output like this:
cd ~/kderc
kwrite log/latest/qt-copy/error.log
Replace kwrite with your preferred editor. Hopefully the output can guide you to resolving the problem. For instance, if the failure is a cmake output saying you're missing a library, install that library and try again. ;) For link errors you can try running a --refresh-build on the module (or if that doesn't work, required libraries like qt-copy and kdelibs).
If you're stumped by the error you may want to wait a day and try updating again, and hope that the reason for the error has been fixed. You can also try mailing the kde-devel mailing list to see if others know about the problem or have had similar issues.
Assuming you got enough of the modules to build and install to have a working KDE installation, you'll still need to setup your environment correctly to run it. kdesrc-build doesn't help you out here (yet), so you should follow the instructions here.
Make sure to use the same paths as the ones you defined in .kdesrc-buildrc: for the KDEDIRS and KDEDIR variable use the setting of the "prefix" option (in the global section). For the QTDIR variable use the setting of the "qtdir" option.
Keeping your KDE installation up to date is as simple as running kdesrc-build again. Every kdesrc-build has these phases:
Old build directories are not deleted by default, so the build after a small update will not normally take as long as the initial build of a module. This is called "incremental make". However it may be necessary at times to perform a full rebuild due to inconsistencies between the build directory configuation and changes to the source directory. You can use the --refresh-build option to force a full rebuild.
For more information on how to take advantage of kdesrc-build, see the online documentation for kdesrc-build, which describes all of the module options and command line options available for kdesrc-build and gives tips on how to perform various useful tasks.
If you have any questions that are not answered please feel free to add them under the Discussion entry for this page and hopefully someone will be able to get the answer.

Today, I wanted to share some pictures from the Renaissance Fair that came to the area. We have never been to one of these and since the boys are so into knights and swords, we thought it would be fun to take them.
We were a little disappointed with the lack of educational exhibitors they had there, but the kids still had lots of fun. We were hoping to see some jousting, however we found out once we got there that the jousting was held the weekend before. Maybe next year...
|Travis trying his hand at the bow.
|Andrew's turn!
|A sword bigger than them all.
I can't imagine doing battle with this thing. I'm sure I couldn't even lift it, let alone swing it!

Even if Jacksonville grabs a quarterback in May's NFL draft, Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch says it's far too early to write off Blaine Gabbert as a starting signal-caller.
Pro Bowl Draft on NFL Network
The first-ever Pro Bowl Draft will be televised during a live three-hour broadcast on NFL Network at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014. More ...

"I don't know how you can say that," Fisch told the Jaguars' official website. "There were guys who are in the Pro Bowl who never had taken a snap in the NFL at 24. You start giving names and now it sounds like you're comparing him to those guys. I'm not saying that."
Gabbert was benched against the Rams in Week 5 and never made another start in his third season in the league. Not a good sign for his fourth, but Fisch -- along with coach Gus Bradley and general manager David Caldwell -- saw growth from Gabbert down the stretch.
"I don't know if he ever had been able to sit back and watch as the No. 2 -- I mean really sit back as the backup quarterback," Fisch said.
"When you're the backup quarterback, you get certain responsibilities: 'Hey, watch this film for us and tell us what you think about their pressure package. Put this cut-up together and let's talk about their zone drops. You tell us about their defensive backs.' The pressure goes away and the study of the game can come in."
Fisch lauded Gabbert's "maturity level," saying that his "professional manner" helped keep the team free from a negative "storyline" about the quarterback switch.
In Fisch's defense, he's right: Over the years, legions of productive passers have emerged later in their pro careers, but that inherent patience is fleeting in today's game.
Henne was honest last week when asked about Jacksonville's chances of drafting or signing competition, saying: "Absolutely, there's no doubt about it."
Gabbert, under contract through next season, said there's "no question" he'll be back in 2014, per The Florida Times-Union, but a potential numbers game in Jacksonville makes that tough. Henne is expected to be brought back, and the Jaguars would shock onlookers if they don't go quarterback at No. 3. Assuming they do, an extra body would dip Gabbert into the fight of his life for a roster spot.

Bethel College, Arden Hills, Minnesota
Eunice and Gunnar Kronholm respond to questions posed by
National News Media.
Kronholm saga
related at Seminary
press conference
by Bill Trollinger
Bethel Seminary was the scene of a national press conference
March 20. The occasion was the safe return of Mrs.
Eunice Kronholm, former Bethel school nurse, who was
kidnapped the morning of March 15. Mrs. Kronholm was
accompanied at the conference by her husband, Gunnar, and
other members of her family. Gunnar Kronholm, president of
Drovers State Bank in South St. Paul, is also a part-time
teacher (business) here at Bethel and a member of the President's
Associates, an advisory committee to President
At the press conference Mrs. Kronholm related, for the
first time, the accurate details of her abduction. Briefly:
Friday morning (March 15), as Mrs. Kronholm was getting into
her car for a hair appointment, two men wearing snowmobile
masks grabbed and tied her, forcing her into the back seat of
her car. Following this came hours and hours of driving, part
of which she spent in the trunk. The kidnappers contacted Mr.
Kronholm at his bank, informing him that they had his wife,
and that they wanted $200,000 for her safe release.
Mrs. Kronholm was then transferred to a "room," which is
now believed to have been a vacant house at 1204 Echo Drive
in Burnsville. Sunday night Mr. Kronholm, after driving more
than a hundred miles through and around the Twin Cities,
Vol. 49 No. 22
Coeval Issue Friday, March 29, 1974
dropped off the $200,000, probably at an abandoned picnic
area near Burnsville.
At 10 a.m. Monday morning the abductors had promised
to notify Kronholm of his wife's whereabouts, but this did
not come to pass. Monday afternoon the FBI announced that
James William Johnson had been arrested and charged with
extortion in connection with the kidnapping of Mrs.
During all of this Mrs. Kronholm tried to talk her way
to freedom. She reasoned with the abductor, reminding him
that one suspect had been taken and that the FBI was sure
to be on his trail. He was mulling the possibility of freeing
her when she said "OK, I am going" and ran out the door. She
flagged down a car, which took her to a store, where she called
her husband. The next day was spent in seclusion, prior to her
Wednesday morning press conference.
The press conference was marked by her outstanding faith
in Christ Jesus. When asked what was going through her mind
while being held prisoner, she replied, "I kept continually
feeling the presence of God the whole." She also related how
she was able to listen to Bill Malam of First Baptist and Billy
Graham on Sunday, and through this share her faith with her
kidnappers. She also talked about the announcement that came
over the radio about the whole nation praying for her, and
how this uplifted her spirits. While Mrs. Kronholm related
these examples of His providence, she seemed to glow with
happiness. And Dean Virgil Olson commented, "It was outstanding
how the Jewish fellow from the Star went on and on
about the Kronholms' faith."
Although obviously weary, the Kronholms also displayed
a remarkable sense of humor. Mrs. Kronholm told of how she
gave the men names "Jerry" and "Bill" because "I didn't
want to talk to a wall." And uproarious laughter followed
this exchange:
Reporter: "Can you tell what you asked (the kidnappers
to ascertain if they really had his wife)?"
Kronholm: "I can tell you that. I said, 'Would you ask her
what we did after the opera a week ago in Rome' ...
I knew nobody else could answer that one." (Note:
they had pizza).
The faith and courage of the Kronholms was a beautiful
witness for Jesus Christ. We join others in thanking God for the
safe return of Mrs. Eunice Kronholm.
(At this writing a third and final suspect has been taken
into custody: Thomas Gary Hodgman. Nearly all of the
$200,000 ransom has been recovered.)

Thieves lurk
at break time
by Steve Harris
In a world of empty P.O. 's, mid-terms,
cafeteria food, and Minnesota "spring,"
perhaps there isn't all that much to smile
about. But then, spring break is coming
up and that's a guaranteed spirit-lifter.
In the rush to get done with classes,
get packed, and get home, there are a few
things you dorm-dwellers should remember.
Spring break is National Rip-Off
Week for all of those thief-types who
know that an almost-empty dorm is an
excellent place to find stereos, tape recorders,
radios, etc., at their kind of
prices. So before you sail through that
last test, bundle up those dirty clothes
you've been saving for mom, and hit the
road, here are a few tips:
- put your stereo equipment either
in storage or at least out of sight.
- make sure the window latches are
- don't leave things like radios,
recorders, and typewriters just
lying around.
Security in the dorms will be at an alltime
high this year so there shouldn't be
any problems. But take precautions.
When you roll back in here a couple
weeks from now, you'll be glad you did.
Shelley is
new president
by Curtis Kregness
Marshall Shelley, newly elected Student
Association president, acknowledges that
he will face a sizeable challenge beginning
April 1, as he attempts to fill the shoes
of the outgoing president, Dan Nelson.
"Dan has done a great job in improving
the image of student government at
Bethel," Marshall observed. "He gave the
job of president a sort of class, a kind of
prestige. I'm not going to try to be a Dan
Nelson, though," he said, "but simply a
Marshall Shelley."
Marshall's right-hand man, Randy
Landis, is the first freshman to be elected
Bethel Student Association Vice-President.
A native Minnesotan from Worthington,
Randy has been active in the Student
Senate in the short time he has been at
Bethel. Last fall he was elected a freshman
senator, and served on the Election
Board until he resigned to run for vicepresident
under Marshall. Both have
formulated a specific plan of action that
they are eager to implement as soon as
"Our greatest concern right now is the
dilemma of the Spire and Clarion," Marshall
said. Randy went on to explain that
the Communications Board of the Student
Senate has submitted a recommendation
which would consolidate the newspaper
and yearbook budgets under one enterprise.
The Clarion would continue in the
same format as at the present, but a type
of "photo-essay section" would be incl uded
possibly biweekly. Students would
combine these inserts into a binder, which
would collectively serve as the Bethel
yearbook at the year's end.
Marshall thought thaf the idea was an
"interesting" one, but declined to commit
himself either way on the issue. He said
that he wanted to remain uncommitted for
the present, because he wants to leave the
decision with the new Senate, which will
be formed April 1. "My first step will
be to determine student reaction to the
issue through a survey, then proceed from
there, " said Marshall.
In the area of Christian Service, Marshall
and Randy plan to establish an ad
hoc committee to "determine the needs of
the Christian Service Department and
organize its plea for more money" in order
to increase its effectiveness.
Although Marshall has not previously
been a member of the Student Senate, he
has been active in other facets of Bethel
life. The junior from Denver served as
editor of the Clarion last year, and also
participated in StUdent Missionary Project
and Campus Life.
Concerning KABY, Marshall and Randy
want to form a "long-range planning committee
to ensure continuity in its
(KABY's) management." This, they explain,
would help to-prevent a series of
segmented policies, changing from year
to year with each station manager.
Randy emphasized their mutual feeling
that KABY's general manager, at least,
"Your full service friendly bank"
Phone 4S 1-6822
633 S. Concord
South St. Paul, Minn.
should be a paid position. At present, all
radio station staff are volunteers. The two
also advocate the idea of an advertising
manager who would serve the radio
station, the newspaper, and the yearbook
at the same time. "A person in this
position could sell a three-sided ad package
to advertisers, one each for the three
media at Bethel. This would be a step
toward partial self-support for KABY,"
Randy concluded.
Pointing to the consensus of the
seniors responding to a recent poll about
graduation (see election results table), Marshall
said he is convinced that separate
commencements for the college and
seminary are necessary. "Graduation is
our sacrament," he said, "symbolic of
our entity and being." He said that he
would work toward the goal of separate
commencements in his capacity as president.
In order to promote better communication
between Student Association
members and senators, Marshall and
Randy have suggested a periodical series
of prayer breakfasts or similar meetings at
which certain issues could be discussed
and students could interact with senators.
"Our overall concern is simply to make
Bethel a better place of learning," Marshall

Student power
is illusionary
Every now and then an issue appears which serves to put
student wishes and opinion in perspective. For all the talk of
student input at Bethel College, it appears that when it comes
right down to an issue on which the administration disagrees,
that input is in effect null and void. Separate commencement
exercises for the College and Seminary seem to be now out of
the question for this year. Despite the trenchant force of
opinion of seven Bethel groups (the College senior class by a
vote of 136 to 6, the College Student Senate, the College faculty
f the Seminary seniors, the Seminary Senate, the Seminary
faculty, and the Joint Committee on Convocation and Commencement),
separate commencement exercises were, for lack
of positive action, in effect denied for this coming June at the
Regents' meeting last weekend.
The President, in a statement to the Board of Regents,
proposed the formation of a "task force" which would "take
a long-range look" at the "relationship of the College and Seminary."
He also related his objections to separate commencement
this year because he was "reluctant to do anything that
fragments us until we have a comprehensive overview." We will
not dispute the President's right to hold an opinion on this
issue different from that of all the above-mentioned campus
groups. Both sides of the issue are now public record. However,
there is cause for consternation over the present status of input
and policy-making: is it right for the administration's opinion to
hold sway over that of the combined and overpowering consensus
of students and faculty from both the College and Seminary?
It is little consolation that the matter is to be referred to a
proposed "task force." For in this case as well as in others,
bureaucracy is often the convenient friend of oscillation. The
fact remains that the students and faculties of both the College
and Seminary will not get what they want when they want
We are aware that the decision is not limited to internal
considerations. Yet not to honor the students' wishes on this
issue would be to commit a grevious error. Not only is it important
that students of both institutions are supported by
their faculties, but we must also recognize that students are the
very center of Bethel's future, not an insignificant facet consigned
to a tiny corner of the Bethel community. Those who
would assign student opinion to that box subscribe to the
most threadbare and regressive logic. If the bastion of progressive
opinion in the College and Seminary (the students and
faculty) carries so little weight with the administration, something
is out of kilter. Student opinion must effectively count
for something; on so clear an issue as this the administration
must bend if real "fragmenting" is· to be avoided.
Dan Nelson, outgoing Student Association president, said,
"I'm disappointed in the lack of responsiveness in the system
at Bethel. I still maintain that the best way to guarantee consideration
of student-generated issues is to provide for student
representation at decision-making levels. I urge the
administration to consider seriously student membership on
the administrative council." We agree with Nelson; the issue
lies at the very heart of the concept of student input.And we
would also like to see faculty membership on that council.
We hope genuine student interest will ignite over this
issue. For our part, we will continue to supply the student
body with information pertinent to its interests. Yet we fear
that in the absence of administrative concessions on substantial
issues such as separate commencements, we, as well as other
concerned students, will be doomed to the role of ineffective
gadflies. ****************
In passing we would like to commend the College faculty
for acting quickly and decisively at its March 21 meeting when
it suspended its normal rules of order to consider and subsequently
approve separate commencements. This allowed the
faculty's wishes to be made clear to the Regents in their
March 22 meeting.
By Dan Nelson
Student Association President
It's difficult to write this final column as Student Association
President because I still have goals that are not yet accomplished.
With this in mind, I offer a two-year overview of the
"Nelson Administration," followed by some suggestions for the
future that I hope will continue to be priorities of the Bethel
Student Association.
Student government has made constant progress over the
last two years. This is illustrated by the number of students
that are participating in elections, the number and quality of
students that are running for positions in the Association, and
an increase in the volume and quality of Student Senate legislation.
We started two years ago with a representative system
of Student/Faculty committees that worked fairly well. Although
some of these committees function only on rare occasions,
many have become a significant platform for the student
voice. Two new committees have been established recently, relating
to Business Affairs and Public Affairs. We hope that many
perennial problems can be solved througli student input and
vote at the decision making level in these committees.
A new Constitution was adopted last year, with a provision
for the Association officers running as a ticket. Coupled with
increased responsibilities for the Vice-President, this has served
to give added direction to the execution of Association affairs.
The Communications Board has become a responsible governing
board for the media, which have grown with the addition of the
radio station. I feel the Association officers have ably represented
their constituency to the school administration and to
all of Bethel's pUblics.
There is much to be done, however. Problems still arise on
campus that are a result of nothing more than poor communication.
Decisions are sometimes made affecting students when
insufficient consideration is given to the student's wishes and

Nelson, continued from page three
needs. Last year, I tried to get elected to the Board of Regents
through the Baptist General Conference, but it didn't work. I
feel the best approach now is in the report to the Regents that
will soon be coming from the Long Range Planning Committee.
This report will call for student voice and vote at many policymaking
levels of Bethel. I feel that the inStitution of these proposed
changes will greatly benefit the cause of communication
and understanding at Bethel. I urge the new president, Marshall
Shelley, to work toward this goal. I urge all of you to support
his efforts.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your president for
the past two years.
We need self-examination
Dear Editor,
It appears that the letter Paul Loth wrote two issues previously
needs to be explained. Although it may have seemed
harsh and interpreted by some to mean isolation, this was not
his main point. What we at Bethel need to do with more consistency,
is examine ourselves in light of our commitment to
Jesus Christ, and this includes our -life styles. We must realize
that our call to Jesus was a call to a new life. In II Cor, 5:17
it reads, "Therefore if any man is in Christ he is a new creature;
the old things passed away, behold, new things have come." How
true this was to the early believers!!! But here at school, many
times we tend to take our commitment and faith for granted.
This can cause spiritual laziness and conformity. We must
examine our lives and struggle as to what in our culture and
society is not in line with the life we are called to. Our life
styles, attitudes, and outlook on life are to be different than
the world's. This is the point emphasized. The old way of life
is to be left behind, as stressed in Luke 9:62, ce •••• No one,
after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for
the kingdom of God. "
Mr. Loth's statistics were of course an exaggeration to
arouse the emotions and bring out his points. OK, his method
may be questioned, but, let us not avoid the point. We at
Bethel must examine ourselves and look at our life styles, etc.,
in a Christian viewpoint. II Cor. 13:5 sums it up, "Test yourselves
to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do
you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in
you - unless you indeed fail the test?" In order to be in the
world and not of it, we need to have the vertical love and
reverence towards God, then the horizontal love towards others
in the world. We cannot take this for granted nor allow ourselves
to conform to the world, but surrender and freely let
the Holy Spirit cause us to become like Jesus Christ.

KA-BY "poster barrage" taken to task
Dear Editor:
Last Friday, when I entered the school buildings, I was
immediately hit with a barrage of posters proclaiming "KABY
56 is now in the townhouses" and "The KABY Friday Night
Giveaway is now greater than ever. " Everywhere I turned were
more posters. They were all over the walls of every building.
Now, I realize that it is a good step forward to be broadcasting
in the townhouses, but I do not think that it warrants
cluttering up our walls. Advertising is a good thing, but it can
be abused. It is my belief that this was the case with the KABY
I want to go to a school where the people respect the
buildings. Bethel has great facilities. Putting up that many
posters, in my mind, just turns the walls to trash. I walked
through the school over the weekend and counted all the
posters I could see. This is a rundown of that count:
Physical Education Center . . . . . . • . 58
Learning Resource Center ........ 153
Fine Arts Center .............. 102
Academic Center .. . . . . . . . . . . .. 78
KABY could have done their advertising with a lot less
posters. I think KABY can do a good service to the Bethel
community, but this is not the way to do it. The walls have
enough posters on them. Why put three times more than
necessary? This just makes it look a mess. What do visitors
think when they see it? What are we, a junior high? Do we
need that many, especially when only half the campus can
receive the station anyway?
I will welcome any replies to this letter. If you think you
can come up with an argument supporting what they did,
please let me know. My PO is 924.

Love and concern
need extension
by Charlie Cosgrove
The uniqueness of true Christian love is that it finds its
source in God, that it is a work of God in the heart. Therefore,
one of its characteristics is that it is unconditional; it does not
discriminate as to whom its objects will be.
I am deeply disturbed when I examine myself in this regard.
In a subtle way my love tends to be very conditional.
Though it may not depend upon a person's looks, habits, views,
or personal gain for myself, it is inevitably restricted to my
own sphere of existence and rather partial to the sensational.
For example, I prayed a great deal and waited anxiously for
the release of Eunice Kronholm, yet have hardly given a
thought to Patricia Hearst who has been missing for more than
a month. I know neither one of them, but the difference is
that Mrs. Kronholm is "close to home". I am moved to compassion
because her association with Bethel and my pastor at
Bethlehem have made me identify with the situation. Patricia
Hearst, however, is outside my circle. Then is it wrong to pray
out of identification with someone? Of course not! God
honored our prayers of identification for Mrs. Kronholm last
week. But if we are monopolized by Christ's love, why can't
we identify with every member of this fallen race? It was not
that my prayers were selfish, but that it took something sensational
and near at hand to awaken me to the need. There's
the rub. Something has to be very close and exciting before
I'll pray for it. I do not believe I am alone in this problem.
We are too wrapped up in our own needs here at Bethel.
Maybe the boundaries of our love and concern need extension.
Mine do. Therefore, I will ask God for a work in my heart that
will cause me to pray for those at school who are lonely and
depressed as I do for the cancer victims I hear about in Chapel.
May I pray as fervently for Patricia Hearst as I did for Mrs.
Kronholm. May God cast down the limits of our love that the
power we saw evidenced last week might become a reality ~n
lives beside our own.

Friday Night's All Right
Dave Moore bids us a hearty good night,
but the evening has just begun.
A bowl of popcorn, some pop, and soft lights,
the Marx boys arrive for some fun.
I n comes a three-ri ng ci rcus,
and Harpo plays with the band.
Oh, how Groucho does raise such a fuss
when he catches me holding your hand!
At last the brothers show their age
and tire of cavorting and fun.
A Marine band marches on the stage
to tell us the evening is done.
The Comedy for Big Kids is over again,
we turn to more serious things.
An hour or so, I'll really go then,
to return for our Saturday's fling.
So goes our Friday, for Friday is fine.
On Saturday night we try Channel Nine.

The Weather
Today my sky is bright and sunny
I am warm, bright blue
My clouds are few
I love you. .
Today my sky has changed a bit
The warm, bright blue is now dull gray
My breeze is a little chilling, you say
And I tell you maybe another day.
Today my sky is dark and threatening
The still, dull gray is an angry black
The warmness is something which I lack
I no longer care, I let go with a crack.
Today my sky has calmed quite a lot
A little warmness returned to glow
Small patches of blue are beginning to show
You see that I change, I'm the weather you know.
Teresa Hare
Static Snowflake
I wish I could be suspended in the sky;
so I could see, and watch the world go by.
As I look, I see change everywhere,
all I want is to sit in a chair.
Clouds above are only half of what I see,
what lies beyond is mystery.
Hidden from the melting sun,
I want to sit alone, and touch no one.
As I look down, people live and die;
I perceive, but I don't cry.
As the wind blows here and there;
I don't move, I only stare.
In the air I am frozen,
but this I have chosen.
When the sun comes I'll sye,
and at this point I'll cry.
I'll look back while I die,
and my question will be, why.
Love, written everywhere,
but I don't see why I should care.
by Larry Ivai
A dangerous proposition this:
To believe that sketchy improbabilities
will hold you up
when the waves are high
and you've got your I ife to lose.
To leave the boat
for cold water chances
when behind you
they call out, "Save yourself!"
What strange burning is it
that beckons you from beyond the waves
to leave stability behind,
to knowi ngly step out
into a maelstrom of whirling insecurities?
It is faith that something promised
will hold you up amis the storm,
and a profound belief
that all boats will someday sink

Dimmer is
boon to drama
by Doug Horst
One of the projects to come out of the
Physics Department this year has proven
a boon for the Drama Department.
project that was produced from this curious
conglomeration is a lighting control
device to be used in the school drama
productions. In fact it was used in the
recent performance of "Billy Budd. "
The inventor of the device is a sopho- .
more, math-physics major, Dave Bowman.
Dave produced the device in the bistrumentation
course. Fred Gaalswyk provided
the technical help in this project.
The dimmer is completely portable in
two separate units, a control unit and an
operation unit. The device can be moved
easily from the experimental theatre to
the fieldhouse and is adaptable to both
lighting systems. It has a capacity of 40
kilowatts power operating over 20 channels;
in other words it can control 20 different
series of lights.

African relief
funds continue
to pour in
by Steve Harris
When the Bethel Student Senate first
began work on the African Relief Project,
perhaps no one was sure if its goals would
be met. But with the pancake brea~kfasts
yet to come, many of those questions have
already been answered. The response has
been extraordinary.
A Twin Cities couple contributed
$1500 in the past week to the project,
according to Craig Brenneise, Activities
Committee chairman. And in another
development, the final figures for the
March 12 fast reveal $100 more in donations
than previously reported.
Added to the proceeds of the Noel Paul
Stookey concert, the total for the Project
so far is $8,224. This money, except
for $200 which will be used for any
expenses in connection with the pancake
breakfasts, has already been sent to
Food for the Hungry to be used in its
famine relief work.
Students are reminded that if they
wish to help out at the pancake breakfasts
(which will be held after Spring Vacation
in various Twin Cities churches), they
should contact either Randy Landis or
Paul Lentz, or any other member of the
Student Senate.

Senate is lIaloof from student body"
Dear Editor:
They have done it again. The Student Senate has managed
to remain aloof from the student body judging by the way
they handled a bill proposed on March 19th at the Senate
meeting. The bill reads as follows: XV-21 "All names, places
of residence, telephone and post office box numbers of all officers
and Senators be compiled and posted in prominent locations
around campus.
1. To be listed according to the constituancy of each representative.
2. To be located on the Association bulletin board, post office
area, dormitory bulletin boards, and other areas to be specified.
3. To be kept up to date by the Secretary of the Association.
"The purpose is to aid any Association member seeking
contact with any or all members of the Senate."
Now is it hard to understand the intent of that bill? The
purpose of the authors was to develop a greater awareness and
visibility of the Student Senate working for the students. However,
the following Senators moved to amend (and by so doing
emasculate) the bill by leaving out point No.2 and striking "in
prominent places around campus" replacing it with only on the
Association bulletin board.
These Senators voted yes for the amendment rendering the
bill meaningless: Lynda Hill, Pat Raleigh, Mike Stevens, Paul
Lentz, Fred OgimachI, Larry Brandes, Sue Swanson, Bob Norton,
Fred Gaalswyk, Phil McLain, Dave Bjork, Dan Leafblad,
Craig Brenneise.
These Senators supported the bill in its original form:
Dave Johnson, Dean Johnson, Randy Landis, Nancy Moulton,
Lynn Peterson, Blair Oklobzija, Tim Martens, Phil Carlson,
Gary Wright. Those Senators absent and not representing their
constituancy were: Terry Olson, Jim Bjork, Julie Blomquist.
Why? Why? Why? What is the matter with giving the benefit
to the student of direct access to their Senator? One of the
reasons for the amendment to the bill was because one Senator
was "tired of spoonfeeding the students. If they want to find
out who their Senators are they should go to the office and ask.
If they are too lazy to ask then they really don't want to
know." We strongly disagree. Maybe you have little concern
when it comes to representing the students but we want our
position very clear. We care. We want the students we represent
to know what is going on and will continue to take their
side in the struggle to inform them.

Our right to a will is only free
when lived in wisdom of God
To the Editor,
I may will to do many things
This is a God granted freedom and right
But much of what I will
leads to the subjection and
overriding of another
Here is the bust which all men must experience
To yield the will the temptations
Before it
This is to mean that
I have now forfeited
My right to my will
And its free expression
No longer is it my will, nay it is now the will
Of Him who reigns below
For he now controls at all points temptable
And my life is wasted
Its usefulness ruined
And its dignity lost
This is the contrast that exist
This is the evidence of freedom through submission
For su bmission to God's will means
A continual challenge
Of decision
For though a choice be made once
Still we are not completely free
And in this light opportunities appear
To our minds
Disguised as trials and testing
Continually providing through God's grace
A chance to learn the true meaning of a free will
And when each choice is properly made
A light within evidences its rightness
Freely learned and freely given
Calmly then learn the free will expression of life
For our right to a will and its expression
Is only free when lived in the wisdom of God

Records fall but
Royals take third
by Stephen Butler
Bethel competed last Saturday in its final indoor meet, at
Mankato, with Westmar, Northwestern, and Concordia, St. Paul,
all conference schools. The final score was 105, 72, and 13
points respectively. Bethel accumulated 59 points. Highlights
of the meet for Bethel were when Steve Whittaker broke the
school record (2:01.0), good for second place, and John Cox
the freshmen record (2:01.4), good for third place, in the 880-
yard run. Also, Gary Hipp led the thin clads with 14 points, by
taking a first in the 60 high hurdles (8.1) and seconds in the
176 intermediate hurdles (22.5) and the 60 low hurdles (7.6).
Craig Oslin leaped to a first place in the high jump (6'4"),
which ties his and the school's record. Dave Grinn vaulted
12 '6" to a first. Dave Asp and Harley Turner tied the school
record in the 176-yard dash (19.3).
The next meet of the track team will be the first of its
spring trip, April 6 in Marshall, Minnesota. April 8 it will
compete in Tarkio, Missouri, April 10 in Newton, Kansas, and
April 12 in Ottawa, Kansas.

Baseball season will
soon be in full
swing; opener April 8
by Bill Trollinger
It's baseball season again, and the Bethel Royals are in
preparation for their April 8 opener at Greenville College.
The Royal nine, coming off a disappointing season (3-7 in the
Tri-State conference), look for better things this year. Coach
Jack Trager asserts that the '74 Royals are a good fielding
and a potentially good hitting team, but "it all hinges on our
pitching - if they come through, we could have a really good
The starting lineup is set, except for second base. The infield
is as follows: at first base, Harv Lindgren; at second
base, probably either Kevin Hallstrom or Cam Johnson; at
shortstop, Terry Karlsgodt; at third base, Dale Witherington;
and at catcher, the duties will be shared by Larry Rocholl and
Roger Madison. The outfield: Dean Erickson in left, Marshall
Shelley in center, and Terry Jenson in right. Utility men are
Brent Lundgren and Brian Johnson.
Two veteran pitchers return from last year: Don Patterson
and Mark Lindgren. Promising newcomers are Dave Peterson
and Craig Oslin (pitchers), and Greg Wilcox (first base).
The first home game is April 20 against Yankton. Be There!
Bethel Drive potholes
won't receive first-aid
until late April
by John Greenwood
To those poor souls who have lost tires, axles, front ends
and back ends, and Volkswagons to the humongous pot holes
of Bethel's roads, have no fear, relief may be coming soon. Two
weeks ago Glen Hayne called the asphalt companies to see if
any of them could come and administer some first-aid to our
poor roads. Believe it or not, each company stated that they
could not do anything until late in April when the weather
improves. Mr. Hayne said that he has been worried about
Bethel's road situation for quite some time. The only relief
that can be given and afforded at this time is patching and
lifting the roads in some spots. "The road was never finished
because of future construction. Until Bethel finishes its main
construction and all the trucks are gone we will have to suffer
and have patience with the present conditions," he explained.
Mr. Hayne gave several reasons for the existing conditions:
1) Roads were designed to have a 15 mph speed limit because
of the curves. Bethel wanted to keep the contour of the hillsides
when it designed the road and the 15 mph speed limit
would allow the drivers and passengers to enjoy the scenery;
2) people simply drive too fast and this tends to cause excessive
wear and tear on the roads; 3) winters are exceptionally
bad here in Minnesota and it requires a full time job to keep the
roads in good shape; and 4) MONEY IS THE BIGGEST
PROBLEM!!! Until Bethel can possibly sell the old campus and
come up with the cash it needs, we will have to cope with
this problem. So here is another reason to pray for the selling
of the old campus.
So Bethelites, SLOW DOWN, PLEASE!!!

Have you ever wondered whether your kids would be better off if you pulled them out of school and taught them yourself? Well, other parents have too—they're homeschoolers! Today on Home School Heartbeat with your host Mike Smith, hear from an attorney who talks to parents making that decision every day.
Mike Smith: Our guest today is one of our attorneys at Home School Legal Defense Association, Tj Schmidt. Tj, welcome!
Tj Schmidt: Thanks, Mike!
Mike: This week, we're going to talk about some practical considerations for parents who want to withdraw their child from public school in the middle of the year. But Tj, would you tell us first, what are some of the most common reasons you hear why parents are withdrawing their children midyear?
Tj: Well, Mike, we do hear from a lot of parents who decide to pull their children out of public school in the middle of the school year. These parents often tell us that they're frustrated with their local school system not meeting the educational or unique needs of their children. Many times, we speak to families whose children are not being challenged, they're falling behind because they don't learn exactly the same way as everyone else, or they have a special educational disability. When you teach your children at home, you have the flexibility to develop an individualized program with the curriculum that you want. Some parents are also discouraged by the unsafe environment of their local school system, where bullying, drugs, and violence may be present. Other parents are simply fed up with the public school system undermining their values and actively opposing their biblical worldview. At home, parents have the freedom to share their faith and build a moral foundation for their children.
Mike: Very good, Tj! As we'll see throughout this week, HSLDA is committed to helping parents homeschool, no matter when they start. So until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: Tj, last time you mentioned several reasons why parents might chose to begin homeschooling their children in the middle of the school year. Once they've made that decision, what steps do they need to take to legally withdraw their child from a public school and avoid any truancy issues?
Tj Schmidt: Well, the first thing that I would suggest is that they contact HSLDA for help. We can walk them through their individual situation and help make a smooth transition from public school to home. Because each state is different, I would strongly encourage a parent to become familiar with their state's legal requirements to teach their children at home. If they're required to notify either local or state officials of their decision, HSLDA has forms which a parent can use to satisfy all of those requirements. One of the most important things to do is ensure that your child is officially withdrawn from the public school system, so you don't receive a truancy notice from local school officials when the child doesn't show up at school. Some states begin these proceedings when a child has only three unexcused absences. Finally, HSLDA has several consultants available to help parents to decide what curriculum might fit their child and family.
Mike: Well, thanks, Tj, that's essential information. And we encourage any parents considering homeschooling to contact us and learn about the legal support that HSLDA can provide for your homeschool. And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: Today, HSLDA's Toddlers to Tweens consultant Vicki Bentley joins us with more help for parents who are thinking about starting to homeschool midyear. Vicki, welcome to the program!
Vicki Bentley: Thanks, Mike!
Mike: Vicki, when a parent decides to withdraw a child from public school midyear, what's the first thing they need to know, in terms of practical teaching?
Vicki: Well, Mike, think of homeschooling as a journey, and your curriculum—your course of study—is the road map, or the directions. If I called you and asked for directions, you'd probably want to know where I am, and where I wanted to go, and it's the same with homeschooling! If you need help figuring out where your child is, our site has information on placement tests, skills checklists, and other evaluative tools. If you're not sure where you're headed, you can check out our article "What Should I Be Teaching?"
Besides curriculum, establishing a workable routine will give your children security. You can be somewhat flexible, but don't compromise on basic skill subjects and Bible or character.
Also, be prepared to hear, "That's not how my teacher did it!" and be patient with your child, and remember that this is new for him, too. Parents, when we start out, sometimes we only know to do what we experienced, so we tend to recreate school at home. But home education is more than just school at home—it's a lifestyle choice, a relationship of mentoring and discipling our children—a lifestyle of learning.
Mike: Thanks, Vicki! That's a great place to start! We'll talk more about making a midyear transition to homeschooling in our very next program. And until then, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: Vicki Bentley, HSLDA's Toddlers to Tweens consultant, is with us again today with tips for parents beginning to homeschool midyear. Vicki, how important is it to have a really formal school program if you start homeschooling in the middle of the school year?
Vicki Bentley: Well, some children coming out of a conventional school, midyear or not, may feel more secure in the familiar, structured class setting—especially at first—so you can do the desk thing, or you can relax a bit and sit at the kitchen table. But if by formal, you mean having an outlined plan, many moms feel more comfortable having some specific goals, and we all feel more secure with a routine of sorts.
Mike: Now, does that vary depending upon the age of the student, Vicki?
Vicki: Well, regardless of your kids' ages or your homeschooling style, it's important to have a plan—set some goals, and then select materials or activities to help meet those goals. We want to have age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate expectations. With primary students, our main goals are to give them lots of physical and creative play, experiences, discovery learning—think of it as "hooks" on which to hang their future learning. Remember, what looks like play to us is work to them! As they get older, our expectations are going to increase with their maturity. We want to continue to nurture academic excellence (along with faith and character, of course) to encourage self-motivated learners!
Mike: Well, thanks again, Vicki! This is really helpful for our listeners who may be considering homeschooling. And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.
Mike Smith: Vicki Bentley is with us again to wrap up our week on how to start homeschooling in the middle of the school year. Now, Vicki, do you have any good tips for helping a child deal with the transition from public school to homeschool in the middle of the year?
Vicki Bentley: Well, Mike, the transition is not only academic, but also emotional and spiritual. His familiar routine, his security, has changed. He may miss his friends, or activities, or even his teachers. So invest some time to become reacquainted with your child. Pay attention to his passions, his interests, his areas of strength, areas of need. You want to have a plan, but hold it loosely and make adjustments along the way. On the social front, local support groups are a big help in that area, but don't get overwhelmed with extracurricular activities.
And by the way, not all kids are thrilled to be homeschooled—whether it's a midyear decision or not. One of our girls, at age 14, became unhappy with our decision. She went on and graduated as a homeschooler, sent us a thank-you note for sticking with it, and now writes curriculum and homeschool blogs, and she homeschools their three little girls.
Mike: Thanks so much for your good advice, Vicki! And until next time, I'm Mike Smith.

BEIJING (Reuters) - An uproar over the U.S. Olympic team's made-in-China uniforms is a blasphemy on the Olympic spirit which is supposed to separate sports from politics and a show of pure ignorance to boot, China's official Xinhua news agency said on Monday.
With U.S. unemployment hovering just above 8 percent, U.S. politicians have spoken out against the uniforms for the London Games, which start later this month, and six Democratic senators said they plan to introduce legislation requiring the ceremonial uniforms be produced in the United States.
But Chinese government-run Xinhua said in a commentary that it was hard to believe such hysteria over the matter could come from the mouths of such senior U.S. politicians.
"The Olympics spirit is all about separating sports from politics, but these U.S. politicians are going too far and trying to force a political tag onto the uniforms," it said in the Chinese-language commentary.
"This is a parochial nationalistic attitude, a blasphemy on the Olympic spirit and a show of ignorance," Xinhua added.
There can be little doubt that U.S. election year politics are to blame for this spat, as in the previous years the U.S. Olympic team's uniforms have also be made abroad, it said.
"The reason this issue has stirred people up is because the words 'made-in-China' touch upon the most sensitive topic of the U.S. election - 'outsourcing'," Xinhua added.
Democrats have attacked Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney who, while at private equity firm Bain Capital, was involved in firing workers and outsourcing U.S. jobs to foreign countries.
Romney, for his part, has repeatedly pledged to get tougher with China on its trade and currency practices, including pledging to quickly declare China a currency manipulator if elected.
The U.S. Olympic Committee has defended its decision to have Ralph Lauren Corp design the outfits and oversee the manufacturing process.
Xinhua said the United States would do well to remember how many of its people benefit from the cheap goods China provides.
"The unjustified criticisms of U.S. politicians about 'made-in-China' is incredibly politically hypocritical," it added.
While such commentaries do not necessarily constitute official statements, they may be read as a reflection of Chinese government thinking on important issues of the day.

Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, added the spending limit as an amendment to House Bill 7, which, along with HB 6, seeks to tamp down on the practice of collecting fees or taxes for certain purposes and instead leaving them unspent to help balance the budget.
The bill requires a final House vote before going to the Senate for consideration.
The state constitution requires certain spending to be limited by economic growth, currently set by the Legislative Budget Board based on growth in personal income. The cap applies to state tax revenues that aren't constitutionally dedicated to other purposes.
King's amendment would require the board to base the cap on the lower of three things: revenue, growth in personal income or growth in population and inflation.
It was unclear whether the entire House was aware that it was adopting the spending cap because during the discussion of the amendment with King, GOP Reps. Drew Darby of San Angelo and John Otto of Dayton indicated that the cap would apply only to the growth of the general-revenue dedicated funds, which are the subject of the bill.
King afterward acknowledged the potential for confusion but said his amendment would put a new cap on the overall budget.
Gov. Rick Perry has called for a new spending cap to be placed in the state constitution that would limit spending to growth in population and inflation. A constitutional amendment would require approval by two-thirds of the Legislature to be placed on a statewide ballot for voter approval. HB7, as amended, would simply put the new cap into state law.

Announced last night at a NYC gathering, mobile ticketing for baseball games is expanding and will be available for 13 ballparks this season. As reported by GigaOm, you will able to buy and present your e-tickets by using Apple's ( AAPL - Get Report) Passbook app on your smartphone. In addition to the four teams that began the service late last season (New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals), the new teams signing on will include the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics and Pittsburgh Pirates. No Yankees on this list - yet. Last week, MLB introduced its 2013 At Bat application, popular with both iOS and Google's ( GOOG - Get Report) Android users. The free version of the software is increasingly preferred by Android fans while iPhone baseball lovers are much more willing to shell out the $20 per season for premium content. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Raiders tied up one loose end heading into training camp by agreeing to terms with franchise free agent strong safety Tyvon Branch to a reported four-year deal worth $17.6 million in guaranteed money and a maximum value of $28 million.
The Raiders confirmed the deal Saturday evening, without referring to terms of the contract, after it had been reported earlier by CBS Sports and the NFL Network.
Had Branch not received a multi-year deal by Monday, he would have played for the approximately $6.2 million figure as a franchise free agent and then faced free agency again next year.
According to Scout.com, citing league sources, Branch gets a $5.6 million signing bonus and will be paid $16.1 million over the first two years of the deal.
Branch's signing will free up money under a tight salary cap for the Raiders to bring in an additional player or players if desired.
They have yet to announce deals with third-round draft pick Tony Bergstrom, a guard out of Utah, or wide receiver Juron Criner, a wide receiver from Arizona, although the Raiders had room to bring in both players whether Branch signed a multi-year deal or not.
With Branch's deal netting as much as $4 million in cap savings, speculation will immediately turn to veteran running back Cedric Benson. Although unconfirmed by the club, Benson has been speculated as a heavy-legged successor to the departed Michael Bush.
Benson, 29, has gained 3,429 yards over the last three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, although he has averaged under 4 yards per carry in each of the last two years.
Entering his fifth season out UConn, Branch, who has at team-high 337 tackles over the past three seasons, was much improved in coverage in 2011 after being occasionally victimized in 2009 and 2010.
Should Branch, 25, blossom in the new defensive system as installed by coach Dennis Allen and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver, Branch will come at a bargain rate considering what he would have been worth a year from now.

how could the photos be taken?
Never heard of Photoshop?
Stock photo companies have got a lot to answer for. For most people, the phrase 'server environment' generally conjures images of sleek racks of equipment, all glistening chrome and black with just the suggestion that the equipment requires no management at all, or if it does, it will be conducted in some place far away like the …
when we went from 5 rows of HP K and N classes to 2 x partitioned PA-RISC Systems about 6 years ago. Freed up an awful lot of floor space, but it still took us 4 years to get rid of the old hardware offsite. (Even now I still have a dead K class occupying 2 floor tiles.) Phase II of virtualisation is for Windows and is now the corporate standard for new builds.
Also, we are moving everything to one end of the Data Centre (Known affectionately as "Operation Budge-Up"). Apparently we can get a tax break on the large amount (2/3rds) of contiguous unused floor space (though personally I think the accountant has been sniffing too much correcting fluid).
right-thinking companies bring in the proper contractors / vendors to do the installs. You ever want a real cabling job done properly, bring in the guys who put the racks together in the factory.
I used to work for a services division and we regularly brought along the "grunts" to do the job well and they never failed to satisfy the architects' exacting standards.
Most other datacentres, the kit is just thrown in racks mindless of weight distribution, cooling and power requirements with any cables they have lying round.
Lack of discipline in a datacentre is just asking for trouble.
Oh and BTW, Sun also produce x86 boxes - obviously you meant SPARC.
the datacenter used to look pretty -- 8 years ago when we built it. But datacenters evolve over time. New stuff comes in and needs a hole to be installed into. Old stuff eventually dies and gets removed. Admins get in a hurry some days and don't route cables in a totally anal-retentive fashion, instead just sling them from point A to point B with the FULL intention of coming back later and running the cable properly. Yeah, right. Then the other admins retire or get fired, and you're left with one poor sap who has to know ALL of the systems and do ALL of the work in the server room because, well, he's a sap and keeps letting the higher-ups pile more and more things on his plate, and since it saves them a few salaries they think the world is beautiful, nevermind that the poor sap can't GUARANTEE anything anymore because he's stretched so thin. So the server room gradually gets messier and messier until it becomes the Lair of Death, Dismemberment and Disconnection that it is today.
Virtualization helps some with consolidation, but isn't yet the be-all/end-all that some think it is. Since there's usually somebody or some project out there who needs their own special server, even with consolidation, the old servers just get repurposed as special servers, so the racks don't change much. Although I have been ripping out the really old servers that I built from parts years ago. There's not much need for an old 400 MHz Pentium-II box anymore, since whatever workload its been doing for 10 years will hardly make a dent in a VMWare host with two quad-core Xeons, so that's an easy migration choice.
The idea is (and what we are working on at my company) is consolidation to the fewest number of physical servers at the branch offices for branch office specific applications and services, and centralizing company wide applications and services at a central data center, which is built much like you'd expect: raised floor with cooling, power, and data run under the floor to each rack. the branch offices utilize a telco-style server room- concrete floor with racks (both two and four post) installed properly, with power and data cabling fed from the top.
As far as virtualization; the infrastructure at each branch office (domain controllers, print servers, etc) are virtual machines running on a single physical host, whereas mission critical apps that can't be virtualized run on their own hardware.
Yes, we have a pristine, camera friendly "data center" with latest and greatest racking, overhead cabling, and environmental controls chock full of high density blades. And then there's the rest of the data center, which occupies the other 2 thirds of the building; a hodgepodge of Fuji, Solaris, Z-series, ATLs, SAN arrays, under-tile mish-mash of cables , Wintel farm, P690 AIX boxes, tape devices and networking equipment, all of which handle the lions share of the processing that occurs.
Ah yes, the "pretty" datacenter. We had one, once. Cobbled together from various different racks, all white box servers, cables run but our in-house handyman, but we took the time to do it pretty. It lasted about a week. Then the first round of server upgrades were needed. A new system or two had to go in. Then UPS overhauls, etc. etc. etc.
The datacenter, at least in an SME is an organic thing. Constantly changing and evolving. If there is s challenge faced, it is how to manage that evolution. Don't try to forestall it, or reject it, but embrace it, and find the best way to deal with it.
For us, this turned into "Maintenance Tuesday." The second Tuesday of every month we stay after work a few hours, and do physical maintenance on some part of the datacenter. We reboot or patch Virtual Machines, we swap out aging disks or systems, test the UPSes, you name it. Sometimes we take an entire "Maintenance Tuesday" just to re-wire the datacenter because it got too messy. Our customers know about, they expect it, and we do our best to ensure that no services are interrupted. (Or if they will be, that it is posted on our site well beforehand.)
Oh, and the other challenge is dead systems. Since our Server Empire is a collection of White box 2 socket servers running ESXi, from time to time one of them explodes a component. Have to keep spare systems around, and have disaster plans in place. (What are the 15 ways you can move the VMs to the other systems effectively? Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you have the spare capacity to suffer the loss of a virtual server on any site? Is DFSR working on both the primary and backup file servers? Are they in Sync? etc. etc.etc.)
It's all grunt work, it's all not sexy, and because it's all about "spares" and "backups" you have to fight tooth and nail for every cent of your budget. (That, and I honestly thing that the quality of computer components has dropped significantly over the past ten years. Seriously, failure rates on some of these components are abysmal. You hear that Freeform Dynamics folks? There's a whole other series of articles for you! What impression to us folks have of component failure rates from different vendors. Not system failure rates from the Tier 1s, but component failure rates from manufacturers.)
So the moral of the story is: backup, backup, backup. And have a plan for absolutely everything. If it can die, it will, and you had better be ready for it.
We have a photogenic data center. Its 7 by 4 floor tiles so it could hold 5 racks but currently has 2 and it stays neat and clean The floor is even rated to take the load of a ton per rack. Our big problem is the original design was for vertical cooling from the bottom of the racks when 1 RU servers where getting shorter so our cabinets are only 900 mm deep. The result is we can't run most new 1 RU servers without messing up the cool air flow for other computers. We are building a second site soon and it will have much deeper racks with front to back cooling.
If I was going to do it again, I would have like to put in more -48V DC and a heat exchanger. 50% of the time a simple heat exchanger would be more efficient to cool the room than the split systems we use today.

Depends if you consider this a lathe... many don't!
Pekka, 1/rev indexing worked fine under T-CNC. Since I swapped to LinuxCNC (EMC2) I only have the index signal set up to provide RPM indication and havent done any threading.
On a CNC lathe, you can cut the thread with dozens of light cuts, and at much higher spindle speeds than you would comfortably do manually, so the spindle doesn't really load up or slow down enough to make a significant effect on thread accuracy (obvious it depends on the desired accuracy). I have cut two M40x1.5 (er32 collet nut) threads on 7x12. It was just on the wrong side of the machines capacity, and turned out ugly on one, and worked on the other.
I think you only need a Px oiling system if you use the mchine for hours each day. I just squirt oil on the ways and screws regularly (like every time I use it). Given the cost of 7x replacement parts, it is probably easier just to replacing things if they start getting worn.
This spindle is based on a right angle reduction gearbox I picked up from the scrap dealer.
There are cover plates which bolt on both ends came with a bunch of nice shim. Doing the bearings this way seemed like I could use the shims to easily set preload.

Accomplish your dream of becoming the best bet online agent you can be. The opportunity you were looking for is here. It is time to stop fooling around and maximize your bet online business. With over 20 years of experience, Booking Per Head understands perfectly how fast and demanding is the bet online industry in Long Beach and worldwide. Therefore, we have proudly developed the most efficient, flexible, and functional software in the market, providing in one place all the tools you need to offer your customers the best cutting-edge technology and services.
Keep your bet online clients happy
Your customers are the most important thing in your bet online business. You need to take care of them and make and keep them happy so they come back and play some more. A rule of thumb for any bet online in Long Beach is to pay on time and to pay in full. Otherwise, you will be discouraging them.
Another common mistake is over-controlling them. It is vital for any bet online to have control of their customers and their behaviors, but sometimes limiting their actions too much can do more harm than good.
Understanding bet online customers
It is important to know when to or not to cap or limit a game or type of game. For instance, some bookmakers are afraid of parlays because of the large return, but if you think about it, hitting a regular straight bet is already hard enough, and parlays force you to be perfect.
Parlays are appealing bets for gamblers because they pay way better than a regular straight bet. Nonetheless, the odds of hitting a parlay are very low, which makes it a pretty safe bet for a bet online. In fact, a wise guy will virtually never play on a parlay.
It is better to put limits on other bets, such as future bets, special props, and overnight lines. Straight bets usually have pretty solid lines, but it is always good to pay attention to any sudden movement. You need professional handicappers and flexible bet online software to have control of your customers' behavior and development. Booking Per Head has the best solutions in the bet online market.
Experience true excellence in your bookmaking business. Booking Per Head provides the best player/agent management software and services in Long Beach and all over the world. Our staff is constantly upgrading and developing new custom features to provide the best solutions in the industry. Keep control of your players and agents and boost your bet online business profit.

Demonstrating Competence
You don't complete a degree at Prescott College by ticking off a list of courses that someone else selected for you. You complete it by demonstrating Competence in the field of study you identified in your degree plan.
Competence can be attained in a variety of ways. Coursework at the college, service learning, specialized training taken elsewhere, and experience from jobs, independent studies, and internships can all support your acquisition of the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed.
Each course you take contributes, as both you and your professor complete Narrative Evaluations, providing feedback on knowledge and skills acquired, opportunities for growth, and directions for future learning, in a way a letter grade never could.
And you demonstrate your competence by completing a Senior Project (or thesis at the graduate level). Your project can not be strictly theoretical, but must have some application in the world. For many undergraduate students, the Senior Project serves as a bridge between school and what's next – graduate school or a career – as it proves your ability to be successful in your chosen field.

Hollywood FotoFix Digital Studios is proud to sponsor the AngelPics Project. The AngelPics Project has been created to donate photo retouching resources to the parents and families of a stillborn baby.
Photographs of stillborns and newborns who don't make it home from the hospital are usually very difficult to look at, and are usually the only image that the parents have of their child. Through this free service, our skilled digital artists work with a digital copy of your original, eliminating medical equipment, removing marks and bruising, even replacing the background if desired.
There are two ways in which to submit your picture to be digitally retouched:
