But once you get locked into a serious perfume collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

Oh, dear.
I wanted to buy Nars Mekong, a brown shadow from the fall collection. It wasn't available locally, so I went shopping over in Jax and they had it in the Blue Mercury store. The SA was terribly distracted by recommending peach blushes to a customer, so I had some time to look around. I decided--much against type--that I liked the Silk Road duo and that I also liked Damage lipstick, even though it is a sheer.
When the SA finally had time to help me, I ordered up all three of these items. When I got home I noticed that she had given my Mykonos, a cream shadow, instead ot the Mekong. Jax is too far for me to go to return and the gas would cost me as much as a lipstick, so I had no choice but to try the Mykonos, which looked like a bronze/rose with gold shimmer. It applied as lilac. Did nothing for me. Layered the darker side of the Silk Road over the top (Silk Road is very sparkly) and then lined with brown shadow. Looked great. Went to Sephora on line and ordered the Mekong.
This is how I spent $110.00 on a single brown eyeshadow.
Today I went to replenish my Prescriptives False Eyelashes mascara, and the SA said she'd heard a rumor of the line being discontinued. I'm thinking I may have to stockpile it.
I also wanted a new tube of Shiseido Salmon Rose lipstick, but it appears to have been discontinued, as well. The SA was very patient, helping me find a reasonable match. I ended up with Estee Lauder Mocha Pink. I used EL cosmetics about ten years ago and due to associations with that time I tend to steer clear of that counter. But I put on this Mocha Pink and remembered why I kinda liked their lipsticks-- the waxy, slightly sweet lipstick smell. So this one will work!
The way out is a way in-- NEP
just so you know, Lauder is shutting down Prescriptives as of the new year. They're gonna keep selling stuff online until supplies run out so if you regularly use anything i'd get it. I think they've already stopped production on everything but Calyx.
Let's see.....I purchased NYX Doll Eyes Mascara in the Volume formula for the second time.
I'm going to get some M.A.C. Studio Fix foundation in the very near future.
Also purchased my third shade of Cover Girl Lip stain marker. I forget this one's name but it's a nice, not too bright red. I have another one in a mauve tint and one in Plum. I LOVE these!
YSL Rouge Pur in 131 Rouge Opium
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
MAC Dazzelglass lipgloss in Baby Sparks for my daughter who had a long week of tests and aced all of them.
Not exactly a cosmetic, but I bought 1,000 disposable eyeliner brushes to use as applicators for Bimatoprost (Generic Latisse).

I bought Magnascopic mascara by Estee Lauder which I have always loved and used ( apart from Dior Show mascara ) and some EL lipstick .
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
I just bought a mascara from the Hard Candy line at Walmart, which I assume is a new line they're carrying? I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping for ginormous lashes and I will report back after I test run it.
I just got this By Terry palette. The eyeshadows are Amethyst and Champagne and the gloss is in Black Orchid. I really like the brushes that come with By Terry palettes. The case has a magnetic closure that is nice too.
Bourjois has launched another set of limited edition jars...
This time I couldn't resist the violet eye shadow with the pic of Place Vendôme and the Tour d'Eiffel blusher...

"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Lipstick Queen's Rose Sinner lipstick, and waiting impatiently for it to arrive in the mail like a little girl!
I bought some L'Oreal mascara at the drugstore yesterday. No big whoop there, but I've been really getting into nail polish lately. I think I'm becoming addicted. I've bought around nine or ten new ones in the past few weeks. I'm going to Sephora today to look for Illamasqua's Rampage, a deep dark forest green. It's calling me.
For anyone who's interested: Illamasqua's colors.
Sniff and let sniff.
The way out is a way in-- NEP
Arrrgh! Our local Sephora doesn't carry Illamasqua! I went to Ulta instead and tried a couple of dark greens (very nice SA there let me try them on a piece of clear tape over my nail), but I didn't like the dark colors on my hands. I LOVE those dark greens & teals...just not on me. So I bought a pale lime sherbet green by OPI called Gargantuan Green Grape...
(not my nails - this is from somebody's blog),
and a little Essie holiday set with Mint Candy Apple (pale mint green) and a couple of other colors...
These just make my eyes happy. I'll be in Florida over Christmas, so they actually are sorta seasonal.
Tang, Muse is beautiful!
P.S. I also checked out their fragrances, but nothing caught my fancy. I thought I might like Idole, but meh.
Last edited by Guest 3; 1st December 2009 at 05:34 PM.
That Green Grape is pretty, too! The Essie set looks perfect for a Florida Christmas.
MILF is an acronym for a vulgar phrase (Wikipedia page)... I had to roll my eyes at some of Illamasqua's naming choices. They're like the ELDO of nail polish.
Illamasqua's names made me think of Urban Decay's nail polish, and now I'm eyeing their Apocalyptic Nail Kit. I wish more companies offered mini bottles.
Sniff and let sniff.
Thanks, Tang! I'm so uninformed. It might be just as well.
That Essie set makes my eyes happy too!! I think the dark green may be too much for me too but Muse and Milf are sooo nice. I don't think I have seen the llamasqua line at my Sephora.
Well I bought Nars Multiple in Portofino today after much testing with a sweet & helpful Nars SA. I have South Beach which is more of a bronzer, so I "needed" something of a blush. Portofino is lovely and I think I have found the PERFECT pink/coral blush.
I have Nars powder blush in Orgasm (speaking of ridiculous names lol) but I love the sticks- they last longer on my skin. The shimmer/frost is actually barely noticeable in natural light on my skin.

Ooooooh...preeeetty, 3xasif! More happy eyes!
Well, I'm *kind of* kicking myself for getting the Nars as now I want this. Organic AND the two products are less $$$ than the Nars. I have already bought one for my older daughter. Awesome!

I bought some sheer lipstick by Cover Girl.
I ordered a couple Kevyn Aucoin eyeliners w/brushes today from the HauteLook sale: http://www.hautelook.com/product/711965
It's the first time for me to try his eyeliners - I usually use Bobbi Brown gel liners, but at this price, I figure they're worth a try. I'm getting them in green and blue.

With so many problems with the Goddess I think she needs retooled, not just reissued especially since Toyguru stated that the caucasian goddess is NOT the sorceress or Teela in a different outfit. They could use the existing Teela/Evil-Lyn mold OR use the mold of the retooled Evil-Lyn. New tooling should include:
New head (so it's not a teela repaint.)
new armor (the armor and headpiece should be seperate like in the minicomics.)
NON-translucent plastic!
Non-green version?
Here is what I mean by the armor and headpice being seperate:

I have had the privilege to get to know the one and only model/actress Barbara Carrera and have discovered her talent as an artist recently. Although many of us know her for her exotic beauty, she has many more talents and her artistic one speaks for itself.
Nicaraguan born and convent educated, Barbara Carrera has traveled the world over, mastering five languages. She was one of the few top models to successfully make the transition from the fashion pages to the silver screen. Barbara started modeling as a teenager and has graced the covers of more than 300 fashion magazines, including: Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan & Elle.
She has received several Golden Globe nominations and awards for her work in film, as well as being the only actor to ever receive a nomination for her work in a James Bond movie.
In 2003 Barbara Carrera's Hollywood Legends series was the subject of a two month solo exhibition at the Hollywood entertainment museum in Hollywood, California. These bold, larger than life sized portraits of film icons and Hollywood legends were inspired by Miss Carrera's personal association with some of the great actors of our time. Her Hollywood legend portraits strike a balance between the subjects outer star quality and their inner humanity.
Some of the legendary actors she painted were actors with whom she has worked. When she started in the film business, she vowed to work with some of the old time greats. Some of the ones she did manage to work with are, Sean Connery (with whom she co-starred in the James Bond film, Never Say Never Again), Bette Davis (whom she starred with in the black comedy, Wicked Stepmother) and Paul Newman, (When Time Ran Out). Some of the other great actors that Miss Carrera also worked with include Laurence Olivier in Wild Geese, Burt Lancaster and Michael York in The Island of Dr. Moreau, and Peter O'Toole in Masada.
Barbara also painted past legends such as : Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin, Anthony Quinn, James Dean, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Vivien Leigh (As Scarlet O'Hara) and Clark Gable(As Rhett Butler). In addition to portraits, Barbara Carrera paints visionary landscapes with insightful images.
Dedicated to daily meditation, Miss Carrera draws inspiration for her art from hours of introspection. She becomes intensely involved with her subjects and seeks to capture their inner essence.
Her works are in the collections of , to mention a few:

By Yogi Bhajan
1. The theory of love and hate is a simple theory. Everybody wants to love. But when you can't keep the flow of love it can turn into embarrassment, frustration, and finally hate. From hate to vengeance, then it becomes destruction. Everything starts with love. Love is the basic law. Hate is the other side of the coin.
2. Hook and Hooker is a common game of two individuals, or group of individuals. The basic habit is for a game to be played for security. It is a security that is only an illusion; a dating game where the pit is hidden in the date, to be swallowed later.
3. Emotional Love is when you see the cause of fulfillment in another person and reject your own personal reality and make it inferior to the other personality.
4. Commotional Love is an interlock with emotional fantasy and the push of ego and creates and lives with the habit of insecurity, and attitudes of bad manners. Outcomes of commotional love are pain, shallowness, hollowness, unfulfillment, inferiority complex, anger, fear, tears, trauma, impotency, and sleepless nights.
5. Circumstantial Love is environmentally produced by the pressures of time and space and changes with time and space.
6. Real Love gives a chance to serve, promote, invest for another's excellence. It is a state of existence in which soul is felt, lived, and understood.
7. Self Love is understanding your existence and the love in one's self. It is the root of all selfless acts, sacrifice, martyrdom, and sainthood.
8. Infinite Love is the creative center of Infinity, one's basic source of wisdom and reality of excellence from beginning to end.

Bergfalk Quits Minn.
Conf.; Joins Foreign
Mission Department
Albert Bergfalk, executive sec-retary
of the Minnesota Baptist
Conference, has resigned his posit-ion
to take,up new duties in Chic-ago
on May 1. His reason for leav-ing
is, "Foreign missions have al-ways
been close to my heart. We
may not have much time left before
our Lord returns, and so both the
directness and urgency of this new
work constrain and challenge me."
He will work in the Foreign Mis-sions
Department of the Baptist
General Conference with Rev. Wal-fred
Danielson. Mr. Bergfalk's
resignation was accepted in Feb-ruary
at a Board meeting of the
Minnesota Conference.
A committee to select a succes-sor
has been appointed by the Min-nesota
Board, but as yet, a man to
fill the position has not been

"Turn Unto God" is the
theme, the thought taken from

The Wednesday evening film on
March 31 was a March of Time
film on India showing the predica-ment

of television which is coming
into practical use today.
Chapel Organ Due For
Early Installation
A late report from Mr. Malm-sten's
office brings notice to the
fast that the Baldwin -Electric
Organ which was ordered last fall
is soon to be installed.
The new organ, which is a two
manual model, is equipped with
foot pedals.
This organ is to be installed
shortly after Easter. It has been
long awaited by all and will add
much to the dignity of our chapel
The cost of the organ was un-derwritten
by people who were in-terested
in seeing to it that Bethel
was equipped with an organ.
Student Council Briefs
Realizing its limited knowledge
of the leadership to be found on
the campus, the Student Council
will soon approach students for
suggestions as to possible candi-dates
for offices of next year's stu-dent

the Council believes it can thereby
present the best possible slate of
candidates when the primary elec-tions

days of the schol year, the Coun-cil
selected a committee consis-ting
of Allan Johnson, Dick Turn-wall,
and Myrtle Rhenberg to begin

of the committee.

articles published at the request of the Religious
At times, there has been the tendency to
think that God does not reveal Himself to
man as keenly as He did in past history; but
from the spirit of revival that has come to
our campus, we have a reminder not to doubt
even today. the working power of God or the
fact that "the effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much." A revival at
Bethel, we know, has been prayed for diligent-ly,
and yet it is surprising how we were mom-entarily
set at awe when we first witnessed
the Holy Spirit in our midst. Perhaps, therin
we can understand more easily why the Apostle
John was inclined often to use the term "little
This article, at its conception, had a
purpose of bringing to attention the un-
Christian-like attitude of fault-finding,
slander, and sinful judging that has been
prevalent on the campus from time to
time. After the conviction of this fault
in the hearts of many and the asking for
forgiveness brought on by the revival, it
seems difficult, now, to publish such an
article. Yet, the subject is of such great
importance to daily Christian living that
it does warrant being called to our attent-ion.
We must face the fact that there is
still room for more Christian love towards
one another among the student body.
Defending our own failures and lack in
Christian zeal by pointing out the shortcomings
in another Christian is of the very basest of
comparisons and means of self-justification.
Don't we as professing Christians ever con-sider
Christ's question : "And why beholdest
thou the mite that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in thine eye?"
And if we justify our actions by another's, why
is it that we generally look where we can
find weakness instead of where we see victory?
The answer lies in the fact that we allow the
old or Adamic nature to hold dominance over
the divine nature received through the new
birth. How far can we expect to grow spiritual.
ly under such a condition?
The Word admonishes us, "If a man be
overtaken in a fault, ye which are spirit-ual,
restore such an one in the spirit of
meekness." If we prayed for one another
more and criticized less, our campus
fellowship would be a lot cheerier.
"By this shall all men know that ye are
my disciples, if ye have love one toward an-other."
John 3:35.
Grief comes to all of us sooner or later.
Last week I witnessed the greatest cloud of
gloom that had hung over Bethel in a good
many days. I never realized how tough it must
be on the "male chorus widows" to have their
men gone until a group of them came to our
apartment to make some candy. Such moaning
and groaning I have never heard before. It
took five pounds of sugar to sweeten them up.
.(The fellows got one pound.)
The other day while holding down my
post in the mess hall I heard two young
ladies discussing the man shortage around
Bethel. Now time may be tough around
Bethel but its nothing compared to what
it could be. Take in Germany for instance.
In most urban areas the ratio is ten women
to one man, and I might add that this one
man may not be the best specimen, that
ever walked. So cheer up girls, take heart

The Wednesday evening candle light meals
received an excellent , reception generally
speaking, and more and better programs are
being planned. In the not too distant future
a public address system will be installed which
will aid considerable in the programming. It
is planned that on Wednesday night the music
will be semi-classical and classical and on Sun-day
it will be a sacred concert during the
dinner hour. Those of us who work in the
dining hall appreciate the cooperation in the
past and it is our intention to attempt to
make these dinner occasions just as nice as

Individual Obligations
One of the favorite pastimes of some of
the so-called "good, moral, Christian people"
of the United States is decrying the contemp-tible
baseness, the vulgarity, the rotteness of
American politics and politicians.
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, there
certainly are elements of the American
system that are reprehensible, but—and
pointing this out is one of my favorite pas-times—
the existence of these disgraces is
too often perpetuated solely because of
an attitude of exclusiveness, of aloofness
on the part of these "good people". When
a Christian says to me that politics is
corrupt and that he wants nothing to do
with it, I say to him that politics is corrupt
BECAUSE he wants nothing to do with It.
It is precisely the same as when the house-wife
sits in her living-room and moans
about how filthy her kitchen is. It is her
job to get out in that kitchen and clean it!
Equally obvious is our Job. When a situat
ion is sometimes admittedly bad, the sensi-ble
solution is not to ignore it—the solut-ion
is to recognize it and to work for its
As Christian, college-educated citizens of this
democracy, we owe a SPECIAL obligation to
the functioning of our government. Constantly
conscious of the tremendous social implications
in the teachings of Jesus, it is one of our
highest sacred duties to work always for
justice and righteousness in this human soc-iety.
And only by showing' an interest in and
studying to objectively know the issues of our
day, can we make our necessary contribution
to our government. We must know the pro-
Education with Power
Before me is a newspaper published back in

educational status of the United
States: 234 colleges enrolling a total of 27,159
students; 6,032 secondary schools enrolling a
total of 261,362 students. That is, less than a
century ago the number of college students in
the United States equalled the enrollment of
the University of Minnesota in 1947-48.
Because of the wonderful educational
achievement of that day the "American
Messenger" predicted in 1854, "We are
rapidly approaching the time when our in-fluence
will powerfully affect the Old
World's political and religious institut-ions."

Campus Opinion
Is there a lack of "campus court-esy"
at Bethel and if so, what can
be done to improve it?
Bob Hagen: One definition of
courtesy is "politeness originating
in kindliness and exercised habit-ually."
Generally speaking, the
students at Bethel are courteous,
but it seems that as yet this trait
has not been cultivated to the ex-tent
that courtesy has become in-terwoven
in our personalities.
Theory is one thing—but practice
of courtesy on the part of each per-son
on the campus until it becomes
a habit is a stepping stone in the
right direction
Marceline Nelson: There is
"Campus courtesy" but not enough
of it. Little acts of courtesy become
so common that we sometimes for-get
them. We, as individual Christ-ians,
can by our own acts of court-esy
remind those about us of the
importance of courtesy on our cam-pus.
Roy Dalton: The most noticeable
lack of courtesy, I believe, occurs
in our inattentiveness to classroom
lectures, and even on occasion to
Chapel speakers. This discourtesy
includes private tete a tetes, letter
writing, snoozing, "doodling," and
a host of other things. Regardless
of the private exactions we may
have for a teacher or speaker to
fulfill, I feel that we, as a matter of
Christian courtesy, should listen
attentively and not make it neces-sary
for one who is speaking to
pause while the noise of private
conversation subsides sufficiently
for him to continue.
Naomi Nesterud: As Christians
we have more courtesy than the
average campus but there is still
a need for improvement. I think
a courtesy week at Bethel would
help — stressing courtesy among
girls as well as fellows.
Jim Schubring: There is a slight
lack of Christian ethic and it could
'stand improvement. The applicat-ion
of a little consideration for
others will do a lot of good.
Grace Bylund: Because students
read and reread the articles on the
Bulletin board, why not put up
something that will be of aid to
them socially.
Gordon Platt: No, I do not be-lieve
there is a lack of campus
courtesy at Bethel. From what I
have seen of other schools. I be-lieve
Bethel as a whole should be
complimented on its courtesy.
That's how it should be at a Christ-ian
college. Xn the words of Peter:
"Finally be ye all of one mind,
having compassion one of another,
love as brethren, be pitiful, be
courteous." I Peter 3:8.
Hazel Bondeson: I think a weekly
item in etiquette would be a good
feature for the Clarion. For ex-ample,
a timely item would be:
"There is no reason why a girl
should not give her boy friend her
picture when he goes away to coll-ege,
but it is better taste not to
write on the picture."
Yours Truly: I think that the
person who "gripes" is not exercis-

Sports Sketch.
Our sports personality for this
week is James C. Rentz of Mora,
Minnesota. Jim is now twenty years
of age and is a junior in the Semin-ary.
This is his third year at Bet-hel.
Jim Is a graduate of Mora
High school. While he •attended
there he participated in basket-ball
and baseball, playing sev-eral
years of each. In his senior
year he was made captain of
the basketball team. Upon leav-ing
high school Jim entered the
service of the U. S. Navy, and
served as a corpsman.
Coming to Bethel in 1945, he
played on the basketball team as a
freshman. This year he again made
the squad and played guard. His
fine play helped keep the Indians
up near the top of the league
throughout the season.
Jim is now studying for the
ministry. He is quite active in sev-eral
musical groups around Bethel,
singing both in the Male Quartet
and the Male Chorus. His home
church at the present time is the
Emmanuel Baptist church of Mora.

Entries for the annual Spring
Table-Tennis Tourney must be in
by the 19th of April. This tourney
is open to all Bethel students re-gardless
of age, sex, creed, or color.
Registration sheets have been
placed on the College and Semin-ary
bulletin boards for all those
who are interested. The twenty-five
cent registration fee is payable
to either Lewis Schultz or Bob

Quite a bit of enthusiasm
was aroused in last year's
tourney and this year's looks
Just as good. The tourney is
open to both fellows and girls.
Individual sets of men's and
women's singles and doubles.
Prizes will be given for first,
second, and third places in
each division. Winners will be
determined by the process of
elimination. Pairings are to be
posted on the bulletin board in
the Men's Dorm.
Lewis and Bob urge everyone
with any playing ability whatsoever
to enter the tourney and show the
school how good they really are.
Competition should be quite stiff
and both player and spectator in-terest
may be aroused much more
if everyone gets behind this spring
activity and helps make it a suc-cess.
Bishop sISponsors
Tournament Team
Although basketball at Bethel is
officially over for this year, Bethel
students are still playing on several
teams. One of these teams, sponsor-ed

the evening of April 13, in the
college chapel.
Believing that many of the col-lege
students will be interested in
attending a discussion on such a
current controversial issue, t h e
society is moving from the semin-ary

meeting. This shift will allow for
accommodation of the expected

Sem Seniors
Writing Theses
Returning from ate vacation,
Seminary students devoted their
first chapel period last week to
recounting their Easter blessings.
Student-pastors and others told of
the work and progress in their
churches that they "might rejoice
together." Prof. Edwin Omark was
in charge of the service.
Thus the Seminary starts on the
final half-quarter of the year's
work. Particularly busy are the
graduating students now complet-ing
the first draft of their theses.
"Did Christ Offer a Liberal King-dom
to Israel at His First Advent?"
This is the theme of Lawrence
Wagstrom's thesis.
His three main topics in the
development of the thesis are,,
"Did the Old Testament Pro-phets
Predict a Literal King-dom?
If so, Did Christ Offer a
Literal Kingdom to Israel at
His First Advent? and Did Is-rael
Reject this Offer."
Lawrence is also pastor of the
Immanuel Baptist Church in St.
Paul. After graduation he plans to
devote all his time to the work
in that church. His plans for the
immediate future are indefinite,
but he is giving his life to fulltime
Christian service as a minister.
Leona Larm, a senior in the Sem-inary,
is a resident of St. Paul.
Besides going to school, Leona is
teaching a Sunday School class and
doing private duty nursing occas-sionally.
She is also working on her
graduation thesis.
The subject she chose, is
"Evangelism through Nursing
on the Mission Field." The
three main points in the de-velopement
of the thesis are
"The Great Physician, The
Needs on the Mission. Field to-day,
and The Needs Fulfilled
in Evangelism. through Nursing.
As yet Leona is uncertain about
her plans for next year, but her
life work is to be a missionary.

Selections from the pearls of wis-dom

halls of the Seminary are given
Carl Olson: "The church was
full, and people were packed
right up to the platform. So
much so that the folks in the
front row had no need to say
"Amen." Instead they said,
"You can spray that again."
Dr. Anton Pearson : "Have y_QU
ever stopped to wonder what kind
of people those Elizabethans must
have been?" We have to consult
glossaries, but they sat right down
and listened to Shakespeare. Or
what kind of Christians were the
Ephesians? The Epistle was read
to them and they apparently had
some understanding of it. We need
commentaries and the rest. Modern
magazines show the kind of pre-digested
stuff we enjoy. Some
even indicate that the articles will
need only ten minutes of reading
time, and by the look of them that
was all the writing time they took."
Dean Karlson: "Kindness
does not always work. Some-times
you have to take the big
stick. A bunch of he-goats have
to be driven."
Roy Nelson: "The one ex-ceptional
Hebrew who loved
and knew the sea was Jonah.
He had good first-hand experi-ence."

Paul Jones liked his chances going into the $25,000 Denim N Diamonds Handicap on Saturday at Los Alamitos. The AQHA champion trainer had a pair of top notch runners that included Grade 2 Charger Bar Handicap winner Native Tea Rose racing in the 350-yard event for 4-year-old mares.
"I thought I had a good chance to win it with Native Tea Rose, but she was in dancing in the gate and just didn't leave," Jones said after the race. "Good thing that my other nice mare came through."
Racing for Veronica Gail Worth, Splendiferous Diva has a slight bump at the start and was perfect from there on the way to winning the Denim N Diamonds by a head over Tom Atwood's stakes winner Curlie Cue. Ridden by Ramon Sanchez from post five at odds of 7-2, Splendiferous Diva covered the distance in a solid clocking of :17.629. Sanchez has proven to be a perfect match for the dashing mare, as the two have ended up in the winner's circle the last three times that they've joined forces.
"I've just been lucky with her," Sanchez said. "She got a good break and she was great at the end."
"She runs pretty good for Ramon," Jones added.
Native Tea Rose, the 2-5 favorite in this race, was looking for her third stakes victory in as many starts, but the 4-year-old mare broke slowly and never threatened the leaders. She ended up in fifth place.
"Splendiferous Diva outbroke her," Jones continued. "Native Tea Rose got behind and then (Beautiful Fire) got in front of her and probably kicked dirt in her face. It's hard to make up ground after that. It's nice to have two runners in a race, just in case one makes a mistake. Native Tea Rose couldn't win this one, but we had a nice back up plan."
Worth and Native Tea Rose's owner, Abigail Kawananakoa, were in Hawaii watching the running of the Denim N Diamonds according to the trainer.
"Veronica and Abigail are pretty competitive when their horses are running against each other," he said. "I'm sure Abigail wanted to beat her in this race, but it was (Veronica's) turn. It's nice to get a stakes win for this mare. We'll probably keep running in these types of handicap and will look for filly and mare races for her."
A finalist in last year's PCQHRA Breeders Derby, Splendiferous Diva earned $13,750 for the win. Bred by Sharon Brandsness, Splendiferous Diva is out of the 2001 Golden State Derby winner Royal Dip. The Denim N Diamonds winner has now won four of 12 starts while earning $42,225.
Saddled by Jose Hernandez, Jr. and ridden by Eduardo Nicasio, Curlie Cue earned $5,625 for running second. The First Down Dash mare has hit the board in seven of her last 10 starts. She won the 2012 Junos Request Handicap.
Trained by John Cooper, Ron Hartley's Forgotten Dynasty earned $3,125 for running third with Cesar De Alba aboard. Beautiful Fire, Native Tea Rose and Zesty completed the field.

China, Chinese (Pinyin) Zhonghua or (Wade-Giles romanization) Chung-hua, also spelled (Pinyin) Zhongguo or (Wade-Giles romanization) Chung-kuo, officially People's Republic of China, Chinese (Pinyin) Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo or (Wade-Giles romanization) Chung-hua Jen-min Kung-ho-kuo, country of East Asia. It is the largest of all Asian countries and has the largest population of any country in the world. Occupying nearly the entire East Asian landmass, it occupies approximately one-fourteenth of the land area of Earth. Among the major countries of the world, China is surpassed in area by only Russia and Canada, and it is almost as large as the whole of Europe.
China has 33 administrative units directly under the central government; these consist of 22 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities (Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), and 2 special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau). The island province of Taiwan, which has been under separate administration since 1949, is discussed in the article Taiwan. Beijing (Peking), the capital of the People's Republic, is also the cultural, economic, and communications centre of the country. Shanghai is the main industrial city; Hong Kong is the leading commercial centre and port.
Within China's boundaries exists a highly diverse and complex country. Its topography encompasses the highest and one of the lowest places on Earth, and its relief varies from nearly impenetrable mountainous terrain to vast coastal lowlands. Its climate ranges from extremely dry, desertlike conditions in the northwest to tropical monsoon in the southeast, and China has the greatest contrast in temperature between its northern and southern borders of any country in the world.
The diversity of both China's relief and its climate has resulted in one of the world's widest arrays of ecological niches, and these niches have been filled by a vast number of plant and animal species. Indeed, practically all types of Northern Hemisphere plants, except those of the polar tundra, are found in China, and, despite the continuous inroads of humans over the millennia, China still is home to some of the world's most exotic animals.
Probably the single most identifiable characteristic of China to the people of the rest of the world is the size of its population. Some one-fifth of humanity is of Chinese nationality. The great majority of the population is Chinese (Han), and thus China is often characterized as an ethnically homogeneous country, but few countries have as wide a variety of indigenous peoples as does China. Even among the Han there are cultural and linguistic differences between regions; for example, the only point of linguistic commonality between two individuals from different parts of China may be the written Chinese language. Because China's population is so enormous, the population density of the country is also often thought to be uniformly high, but vast areas of China are either uninhabited or sparsely populated.
With more than 4,000 years of recorded history, China is one of the few existing countries that also flourished economically and culturally in the earliest stages of world civilization. Indeed, despite the political and social upheavals that frequently have ravaged the country, China is unique among nations in its longevity and resilience as a discrete politico-cultural unit. Much of China's cultural development has been accomplished with relatively little outside influence, the introduction of Buddhism from India constituting a major exception. Even when the country was penetrated by such "barbarian" peoples as the Manchu, these groups soon became largely absorbed into the fabric of Han Chinese culture.
This relative isolation from the outside world made possible over the centuries the flowering and refinement of the Chinese culture, but it also left China ill prepared to cope with that world when, from the mid-19th century, it was confronted by technologically superior foreign nations. There followed a century of decline and decrepitude, as China found itself relatively helpless in the face of a foreign onslaught. The trauma of this external challenge became the catalyst for a revolution that began in the early 20th century against the old regime and culminated in the establishment of a communist government in 1949. This event reshaped global political geography, and China has since come to rank among the most influential countries in the world.
Central to China's long-enduring identity as a unitary country is the province, or sheng ("secretariat"). The provinces are traceable in their current form to the Tang dynasty (ad 618–907). Over the centuries, provinces gained in importance as centres of political and economic authority and increasingly became the focus of regional identification and loyalty. Provincial power reached its peak in the first two decades of the 20th century, but, since the establishment of the People's Republic, that power has been curtailed by a strong central leadership in Beijing. Nonetheless, while the Chinese state has remained unitary in form, the vast size and population of China's provinces—which are comparable to large and midsize nations—dictate their continuing importance as a level of subnational administration.
China stretches for about 3,250 miles (5,250 km) from east to west and 3,400 miles (5,500 km) from north to south. Its land frontier is about 12,400 miles (20,000 km) in length, and its coastline extends for some 8,700 miles (14,000 km). The country is bounded by Mongolia to the north; Russia and North Korea to the northeast; the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea to the east; the South China Sea to the southeast; Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), India, Bhutan, and Nepal to the south; Pakistan to the southwest; and Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan to the west. In addition to the 14 countries that border directly on it, China also faces South Korea and Japan, across the Yellow Sea, and the Philippines, which lie beyond the South China Sea.

Final Exam A Reenactment of the Boston Tea Party
"These students in their script and performance really showed the political tension in Boston in 1773 ... and why this dramatic event had such profound consequences."—Professor Robert Allison
It's a cold December morning as a group of Suffolk students stand outside the Old State House Museum, the men wearing black, tricorn hats and the women in ruffled white bonnets.
They are about to reenact the Boston Tea Party as an alternative to taking a traditional final exam in "The American Revolution" history course.
"I gave them a choice of writing two papers or reenacting the Boston Tea Party," says History Professor Robert Allison. "They all jumped at the opportunity to do the latter because it was a unique way to learn outside of the classroom."
Beginning at the Old State House Museum, the dozen students followed in the footsteps of the original Boston revolutionaries, traveling to the Old South Meeting House then to Griffin's Wharf on the Boston Harbor, site of the 1773 Tea Party, playing out historical scenes at all three venues.
Shipowner's dilemma
At the Old State House Museum, Sally Thomas played Francis Rotch, who owned the ship, Dartmouth. She explained the shipowner's dilemma: that it would cost him a fortune to leave Boston without unloading the tea, much as he would like to do so.
The class then moved on to the Old South Meeting House, where a series of tumultuous meetings had demonstrated public opposition to landing the tea. There Rotch met with customs collector Richard Harrison—played by Taylor Miranda—and Governor Thomas Hutchinson—Dennis Rodriguez— who refused Rotch's request for a pass to sail the Dartmouth out of port.
Revolutionary spark
When Rotch told the Old South meeting that his request for a pass was denied, Samuel Adams announced: "This Meeting can do nothing more to save the country!"
Freshman Israel Peter Sanchez, playing the leader of the rebels, shouted, "Hurray! For Griffin's Wharf!" and led the class to the waterfront, following the route of the patriots of 1773.
At the wharf, the class staged a confrontation with Dartmouth Captain James Hall—Jonathan Walker—and reenacted the storming of the ship. In a concluding note, narrator Erik Doldt read from John Adams's diary for Dec. 17, 1773, calling the "Destruction of the Tea," the "most magnificent Movement of all."
Political tension
"The class really got at the political movement behind the destruction of the tea – why it was such an important event," said Allison. "Most reenactments focus on the dramatic and theatrical dumping of the tea.
"But these students in their script and performance really showed the political tension in Boston in 1773, and the tension between Adams and Hutchinson, with Rotch caught in the middle, and showed why this dramatic event had such profound consequences. Their script captured this perfectly. This was the moment at which revolution became inevitable."
Historical journey
"I feel so lucky because I get to experience the American Revolution in the place where it was born–Boston," says Thomas, a European history major and Iraq war veteran. "It's pretty awesome to learn this way, following the path of so many historical places."
Students involved in the group project took responsibility for tasks ranging from researching the history of the Tea Party, to writing the script, to learning about the characters involved to properly play their roles.
"By working together and using everyone's talents, they reenacted the Boston Tea Party in dramatic form and brought it to life," says Allison.
Rodriguez and senior Francesca Famosi, with help from Walker and sophomore Patrick Flynn, co-wrote the script, compiling much of their information from the book, The Boston Tea Party, by Allison.
"When you're writing something like this, you really delve into the details about the Tea Party to learn more than you ever knew before," says Famosi.
Added Rodriguez, "As a group, we were all very passionate about making the most of this alternative final exam. It was one of the best learning experiences I've had in college.
