Vol. XXI No. 11 BETHEL INSTITUTE (St. Paul, Minn.) February 24, 1942
Chapel Hour Offers
Moslem Authority Speaks
Bethel's location in the Twin
Cities gives it the opportunity of
hearing many of the outstanding
Christian leaders of America at
daily chapel services.
Tuesday, February 17, Dr. Arthur
I. Brown, a surgeon who gave up
his lucrative practice in Vancou-ver,
B. C., to write books and lec-ture
about the Bible and its Author,
presented some thoughts about the
fallacies of the evolutionary theo-iries
so prevalent in colleges and
universities today.
Wednesday, Rev. Roy L. Laurin,
a California pastor formerly Vice-
President of the Bible Institute of
Los Angeles who is now a radio
broadcaster on the Bible in North
and South America, spoke.
Friday, February 20, Chief White-feather
who is conducting services
at the Simpson Memorial Church
was here. Chief Whitefeather is
a full-blooded Dakota Indian who
has been a screen star, radio fea-ture
artist at Music Hall, New
York, and grand opera singer in
Europe and America. Since his
conversion in 1933, he has devoted
his time to evangelistic work
among the Indians.
Yesterday, Rev. D. R. Aikenhead,
Superintendent of Child Evangel-ism
work of Canada, gave the ad-dress,
and this morning Dr. Bob
Jones, founder and President of
Bob Jones College in Cleveland,
Tennessee spoke.
Wednesday, February 25, Samuel
M. Zwemer, a former professor
from Princeton University will
speak. He is THE authority on
the Moslem religion and the author
of many books.
Gordon Johnson Heads
Curtis Hotel Program
Actively making plans for the
big event of Bethel's social calen-dar,
the annual JunionSenior Ban-quet,
May 8, are various Freshman
committees. It has been decided
that the banquet will be held at the
Curtis Hotel, Minneapolis: It is
hoped that Governor Harold Stas-sen
can be the programme speaker.
A room with indirect lighting, an
organ, and a loud speaking system
has been secured.
The banquet program committee
is headed by Gordon Johnson;
transportation facilities are under
the direction of Harold Helsing;
head of the decoration committee
is June Hedman, while Sidney
Wyma is chairman in charge of
corsage arrangements.
One committee which is not a
part of the banquet proper is a
dating bureau. This bureau is
headed by Rune Mentzer. He re-quests
that all students who desire
to make a request of the bureau
do so at least three weeks before
the eighth of May.
With six colleges, Bible train-ing,
and medical training schools
already actively participating in
the Student's Twin City Missionary
Retreat, and other colleges such as
Macalaster voicing eager interest,
the meetings to be held at Medi-cine
Lake, May 1-3, promise to be
enthusiastic affairs.
Ruth and Harold McClure of
French Equatorial Africa will be
the missionaries representing Be-thel.
Ruth is the daughter of Rev.
Jacob Peterson of Worchester,
Mass., and sister of Gordon Peter-son,
who was graduated from Be-thel
last Spring.
Rev. Reuben Nelson has been
charged to secure a missionary
from this area to give the main
address of the series.
The six schools who are formally
engaged in this organization are
Augsburg, Bethel, Gustavus Adol-phus,
Mounds Midway Training
School, St. Olaf and St. Paul Bible
Institute. William Hagstrom of
Bethel Seminary is president of the
Representatives met at St. Olaf
last Wednesday to lag plans for
the event.
"Us On a Bus"
Is Trip Theme
So that you may hear an un-biased
account of the all-school
trip to Albert Lea, the editorial
division of the CLARION has taken
over the assignment.
The Greyhound Chartered left
Bethel nearly on schedule. They
packed us all in. Al Walker had
a newspaper which he read and
passed around. Dick Braun and
Nelt Friesenberg harmonized ter-ribly
far apart and at last someone
resorted to a comb in an effort to
drown them out. Ben Anderson
won all honors with his introduc-tion
of the first ten verses of "A
Boy's Best Friend is His Mother,
His Mother!"
Margaret Erickson suffered from
exhaust gas which crept up into
the back row; and everyone else
suffered chills from the window it
was necessary to open.
The game was a bit of all right—
see the back page for details. Any-way
we won. Rev. Bloom dashed in-to
our midst as the final buzz sound-ed
and invited the whole crowd a-cross
the street to the First Baptist
Church for an hour of fellowship.
Pat Malone Demonstrates
Marvels of the Universe
By merely turning adapted light
rays upon his rocks, Pat Malone,
nation famous geologist and Christ-ian
lecturer on the marvels of the
universe, will demonstrate the
Maker's great workmanship to the
College Club aggregation Friday
night, February 27.
Mr. Malone's lecture is reported
to be one of great interest, beauty,
and informative value.
Many churches in the Twin
Cities have already had the pri-vilege
of witnessing this program.
At the Bethel meeting a collection
will be taken for the club, Re-freshments
will be served for a
minimum price.
Assam Mission
Pleads For Aid
Called home by death Jonas Ahl-quist
was stopped in a work dear
to his heart . . . and uncompleted.
That work was the building of a
mission school in Kangpokpi, Mani-pur
State, Assam.
Rev. Ahlquist was to have been
ealIoted one thousand rupees for the
edifice. By careful planning and
by undertaking to do the work
personally, Jonas Ahlquist wrote
he could do the job for eight
hundred rupees.
The Master called and Jonas Ahl-quist,
a year ago, answered the
summons to go home. The school
was uncompleted. His successor
is unable to complete the building
for less than the original estimate.
The .plea has come back: Send the
two hundred rupees of the original
In answer to this plea the Mis-sionary
Band has set as one if its
goals $75 (the equivalent of two
hundred rupees.) for the Manipur
school. So far $50 of the $125 goal
has been turned in.
Neill Hauk, executive secretary
of the Foreign Missions Fellowship
will speak to the Missionary Band,
ted by "plugging" his summer as-semblies.)
Miss Platts was prevailed upon
to stop at Faribault on the way
home; we all applied ice packs to
fevered brows and called it a day.
From there on in almost every-to
Nine City Recitals;
March 12 to Be First
With six weeks remaining before
their annual concert tour, the Male
Chorus, under the direction of Nels
Stjernstrom, is rapidly perfecting
its proposed repertoire.
April 6 has been set as the be-ginning
date of the trek and the
proposed itinerary includes approx-imately
fifteen churches in upper
Wisconsin, northern and southern
Michigan and Chicago.
According to tentative plans, the
25 chorus members will travel by
bus unless priority transportation
of soldiers is heavy at this time, in
which case the whole trip may be
cancelled. -
Although all numbers have not
been rehearsed, the well-known
"Lord's Prayer" by Millat will be
offered with other new selections
and some faithful stand-bys such
as "Studenten Sang" and "Rain".
One of the highlights of the con-certs
will be a medley of Negro
spirituals and "I Have A House
Not Made With Hands" by Robert
Harkness, for which –Mr. Stjern-strom
has written the harmony.
A number of Twin City churches
will be given a chance to preview
the chorus during the month of
March. Among the churches to be
visited are Temple, Central, Lake
Harriet, Fourth, Elim, and First.
Swedish Baptist churches. The
first of these concerts is to be held
at Temple Baptist church on
March 12.
Final arrangements and details
are being handled very ably by Mr.
Stjernstrom, director, and Carl
Lundquist, chorus president.
Mentzer Will
"Fix it up!"
Not that most Bethelites need
one, but to oblige a few backward
rascals and bashful maids, Rune
Mentzer has announced his inten-tion
of opening a dating bureau
under the auspices of the Fresh-man
class. The object will be to
procure dates for the "J. S." Ban-quet
to be held May 8.
Featuring all the super advan-tages
of "Available Jones" estab-lishment;
a laconical proprietor
with a will to please, judicious and
tactful arrangements, cut - rate
prices, secrecy, and what have you,
the undertaking promises to be a
real student boon.
The class is especially worried
about some bashful Seminary fel-lows
who "Al" Walker says are
willing to go but who are uncertain
of "who will go with . .".
All applicants must sign up three
weeks before the happy event.
May Retreat Held Male Chorus
At Medicine Lake
Great Lakes
Here's where we got the surprise
of our lives. Miss Platts, when
called upon for a reading, was
tongue-tied! (Almost). Also Coach
declined to sing his much-publici-zed
seven verses! (He recapitula- one slept.

Escape of a World War I pilot
from Russia disclosed only recent-ly
the discovery in 1915 of a
strange and curious ark beached
high and dry on the crest of Mount
On a low reconnaissance flight
over the mountain the young pilot
noted a strange vessel stranded by
a lake cached high on the summit's
top. He reported to his comman-der
who ordered ground troops to
scale the mountain from either
The ark was discovered. It's
length was estimated to be a city
block long. It's structure was very
plain, only a narrow passage
around the entire ship and a door
twenty feet square adorned the
massive ship.
The boat which was frozen ten
months of the year was almost per-fectly
preserved. It was noted
that the ship's timber consisted of
Wonder what Glenn Anderson's
hair would look like if that wave of
his were deflated and combed as
other people comb their hairs . . .
Why hasn't someone with an in-ventive
mind created a felt-cush-ioned
affair that would deaden the
piercing sound of the wall-banging
telephone receiver on second floor
at the girl's dorm? . . .
Guess that editorial several
weeks ago must have missed its
mark? We're still wondering why
the United States flag isn't flying
from Bethel's flag pole . . .
The student body sympathizes
with Dorothy Nelson over the stiff
neck she got while simply sleeping
in bed, she said. . . .
Is it indicative of the residents'
rate of speed that the clocks in
a peculiarly hard, durable wood.
Over a hundred compartments
had been built in the ark, some of
such size that they could have
housed animals larger than ele-phants.
Some compartments were
smaller and contained perches or
roosts—as if prepared for birds.
Pictures were taken of the ark
and all the information filed in the
Royal Russian achives. Upon the
intrusion of the revolutionary gov-ernment
in 1915 the archive re-cords
were destroyed. Until now
this astonishing discovery has not
been made known.
A shrine near the ark brought
to mind the tradition that in 600
B. C. devotees pligrimaged to Ara-rat
to worship. These pilgrimages
were gradually discouraged be-cause
of the intense hardship.
Can it be that God has withheld
this revelation as a reawakening
for a very skeptical age?
the Seminary are lagging quite a
bit behind Central War Time? . .
From the likes and looks of
things, Gordy Johnson, Bethel's
orator, is getting in a few practice
licks before spring blooms forth in
all its glories and possibilities . . .
A thing to marvel at is the fac-ulty's
amiability in still laughing
at jokes the chapel speakers bring
in. Just think how many times
we've heard those jokes in the few
years that we've been here, and
then think what it must be for
them. Must be a sympathetic na-ture,
no less, for the jokes aren't
funny . . .anymore.
Students ! Now is your big
chance to see the CLARION office
since its recent house-cleaning
ecidmial Co.inoneal
The Human Equation
Many scathing, yet good-humor-ed
remarks have been lipped the
past week. I've been handling
them and puzzling over both sides
of the question.
You've voiced a situation and I'm
admitting it . .I'm also defending
it. You see, just tonight I happen-ed
upon the answer,
The object of your ire is one who
formerly was one of your darlings.
That's why you are taking the dis-illusionment
so harshly. You are
one part of my human equation.
The second part of my problem
in social-relations geometry is a
blue-eyed livewire who a few
weeks ago was hailed as the re-awakened
Bethel school spirit. To-day
he's in a bit of a mess . . feel-ing
a bit blue about it. It is a
little hard to cheer.
Remember the old adage; "He
ain't heavy, mister, he's my bro-ther!"
This lad started our new enthu-siasm
and we've got him to thank
for that. Let's tide him over now.
He's our brother!
splurge. Hurry while this free
offer remains open to all. . . .
I've reached the conclusion that
it's impossible to walk into the
library at any period of any of the
five schools days and not find the
Westmo's studying . . .
Cutest trick of the month . . .
After one of the Seminary stu-dents
who lives in the Twin Cities
mentioned that it would be im-perative
to get home and reach
those grades before father got
them, Walter Julien said, "Guess
I'll have to hurry home before
the children get my grades." . . .
The students also extend their
sympathy to Gordon Larson over
his three-fold loss, his girl, his
church and his solo in the Male
Chorus. . .
Let your speech be always with
grace. Col. 4:6.
But let your- communication be;
"Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatso-ever
is more than these cometh of
evil." Matt. 5:37. What gift is so
valuable and such a source of plea-sure
as that of speech, conversa-tion,—
the expression of thought
between man and man! And yet
what gift so liable to abuse! The
Teacher who "spake as never man
spake" here, in his Sermon on the
Mount, shows us how to beware of
this evil. He warns us to let our
words be few.
Careless speech tends to frivo-lity.
He who utters may words
will speak many ill-advised, foolish
things. We should be on our
guard against rash, hasty speech.
This is the frequent source of un-kindness,
of uttering angry, heart-aching
words. "A soft answer tur-neth
away wrathk: but grievous
words stir up anger." Prov. 15:1.
Heeding this precept will, too,
keep us from impiety. It was be-cause
he reflected before he spoke
that Job "charged not God fool-ishly"
with unjust providential
dealings, and "in all this did not
sin with his lips." Job 2:10. Few
words, again, are the more likely
to be resolute, decisive words. A
positive "Nay" to the tempter;
how often it has rescued youth
from vice, or saved a soul to hea-ven
where compromising speech
would have lost both!
Let us then remember, each day,
this council of Jesus and begin it
with the Psalmist's prayer: "Set a
watch, 0 Lord, before my mouth;
keep the door of my lips." Psalm
141 : 3.

Sinks $6000 In Bonds
May it never be said that Bethel
is not a patriotic school, loyal to
the last of her Swedish Baptist
blood to the United States.
Did you know that the school has
$6,000 invested in Defense Bonds.
That several of the faculty mem-bers
have bought one $500 bond
apiece. That presents a pretty
fair picture. doesn't it? But the
students' record doesn't bear such
close scrutiny. An average of $25
a week for ice cream and candy,
not counting coffee and rolls and a
very slim $5 a week is spent for
defense stamps.
May we suggest that the Coffee
Shoppe for the convenience of its
patrons purchase defense stamps
and give them a prominent place
of display. We love America for
the privileges it has given us as
young people. This is not a goose-stepping
command, merely an ex-

THE BETHEL CLARION Page 3
Dear Editor:
It was indeed a privilege to visit
Bethel last fall and again meet so
many of my old friends, at Bethel
and at the Minnesota churches I
visited. Last month I visited our
churches in South Dakota, and
there again I met many Bethelites,
with whom I had gone to school.
It is indeed a privilege to go a-round
telling folks about my dear
Congo friends and presenting their
needs. I am now in Pennsylvania
and was in Ohio last week.
But I am asking my many
friends to pray with me that I may
soon return to' the Congo, if that
be the Lord's will. The way things
are now, I cannot get a passport.
I enjoy the Alumni paper, the
last was forwarded to me here at

A Hair-raising Tale
by a Sleuth
This is just a short story. It's
about Gene Johnson and Bob Be•
gerud—and some stubble that
grows on top. It's slick—because
it's so short that slicking it pat is
the only way to keep it down.
But then who can keep those
two down long? They-re not super
tall anyway. But last Thursday
over the phone Bergie confided to
the press that he and Johnson
would wear a "part" the next day.
In vain did the press beg them
to postpone the fateful moment—
until say Tuesday morning when
the CLARION could scoop the sit-uation.
But no, pride conquered all
and the poor reporter was left in
the lurch.
I sit gazing proudly at them.
Two who have defied the raging
elements for months. At last they
have rejoined the popular fold.
Again they modestly display a crop
of hair—almost long enough to

the two teams on the Bethel
court Feb. lb.
The Indians started fast by tak-ing
a 21-11 lead at the quarter and
were never headed as the game
developed into the highest scoring
contest in Bethel basketball his-tory.
The outstanding feature of the
game was the scoring mark set by
Glen Swanson as he dropped eigh-teen
field goals through the hemp
for 36 of his teams 79 points before
he retired midway in the fourth
quarter because of four fouls.
The game was exceedingly rough
with 25 fouls being called against
the Bethelites and 13 against the
Aggies. Swanson, Nyman, Gene
Johnson, Bergerud, and Halvorsen
all left the game via the personal
foul route.

The entire second half was play-ed
with the Bethelites far out in

Bombers Dump
"B" Squad, 43-38
In an earler issue of the CLAR-ION
we ran an article on an in-dependently
organized club which
had adopted the title "Bombers,"
signifying their intent of straight
Their activity has been some-what
eclipsed since then by high
interest varsity games. However,
during the latter part of the past
week the Bombers again gained
our admiring eye.
A game with the "B" squad on
Thursday netted the quintet a 43-
38 victory. Perhaps the most in-teresting
and unusual feature of
the game, as far as Bethel fans are
concerned, is the fact that no one
went out on fouls.
The contest was a tight affair;
both teams showed good defense
activity. The passing of the "B"
squad displayed more polish than

The Bucknell University Rooke Chapel Ringers were organized in 1983. The choir consists of 14 members who are selected by audition and who represent diverse major fields of study at Bucknell University, including the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, business administration, education and engineering. The choir plays regularly for Protestant worship services on campus and participates in the traditional ringing-in-of-Christmas at Candlelight services in Rooke Chapel each December. This popular performance, taped and repeatedly televised by PBS for national distribution, was nominated for an Emmy in 1996 and 2004. A Christmas compact disc, which also includes the Rooke Chapel Choir, was released by Albany Records in November 1995.
Since its founding, the choir has participated in two festivals at the Riverside Church in New York City and was chosen to play for the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association Conference in the spring of 1985. In January, 1986, the choir embarked on its first two-week European concert tour of Switzerland and Austria. Twelve concerts included performances in Lucerne, Montreux, Salzburg, and Goetzens. The Rooke Chapel Ringers were honored to have been invited to perform at the Tenth-anniversary celebration of Handbell Exploration in Tempe, Arizona, in 1995, and the Hershey Handbell Exploration at the Hershey Hotel Syracuse Symphony for three holiday concerts. They returned to Syracuse for the 2006 holiday concerts, and were featured again with the symphony in December 2009.
The ringers participated in Bronzefest 2008 in Ohio, and completed the annual Senior Winter Tour, visiting Rochester, N.Y., Syracuse, N.Y., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Stroudsburg, Pa.. Following the tour, the ringers played for a four-day masterclass in conducting at Bucknell, with Dr. Payn serving as clinician. The group performed with the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble in February 2009.

Apple loses right to use iPhone trademark in Brazil: WSJ
(Reuters) - Brazil's copyright regulator on Wednesday stripped Apple Inc of the right to use its iPhone trademark in that country, the Wall Street Journal reported on its website on Wednesday.
The agency that oversees patents in Brazil said Gradiente Electronica SA, a Brazilian consumer electronics maker, already owned the rights to the iPhone name, according to the report.
Apple will be able to challenge the ruling in the Brazilian courts.
Earlier this month, sources told Reuters that the regulator, the Brazilian Institute of Intellectual Property, was likely to make the decision that Apple did not have the rights to the trademark.
Gradiente Electronica registered the "iphone" name in 2000, seven years before Apple launched its popular smartphone.
A spokesperson for Apple in the United States was not immediately available to comment.

Mamma Mia – The Movie
Mamma mia was certainly a musical i've really enjoyed watching since in a long while. It was very entertaining and i was certainly surprised that Meryl Streep could sing so well. It was refreshing to see her play a role that's fun and free spirited since the last i watched her in Devil Wears Prada. The cast was great excapt for Pierce Brosnans singing or croaking as i would like to think so.. no offence but i think it certainly added charachter to the movie.
Besides the cast, the songs are the main higlight of the movie or rather musical and it is much better in my opinion when compared to the original ABBA version. Meryl Streep again was great. Not only a great actress but a talented singer as well. I can't seem to stop complementing her.
Tough there were part's of the movie which i tought were not completely well tought out, for instance if she really was that much in love with Pierce Brosans characther how could she date not just one but two guys in such a short time. And i didn't quite understand why it took Colin Firths charachter this long to figure out his true sexual identity? He had to come all the way to a remote island to meet another guy and falls in love to only realise it? Were there no cute guys back where he came from? The wedding ceremony was another part of the movie i tought was a bit weird. After all it's just a movie i guess. And there was a happy ending to for all of them. So what the heck, i still wouldnt mind going to watch it again.
This is my absolute favourite of all the songs. It's sang with a lot of passion and emotion. It certainly brings a tear in my eye everytime i hear it. (Darmin you were the one sobbing in the cinema not me OK!!)

You are here
The very best of British luxury
A decent crowd has gathered around the Wraith as I approach it for the first time. The crowd is well lubricated and has decided, maybe fairly, that the scruffy man-child brandishing the key to a two-tone, houseboat-sized coupe is a fair target for abuse. A phrase rhyming closely with 'dosh banker' rings loud.
It is important in these situations to remain calm and confident. I stride to the driver's door and extend my hand to discover someone has moved the doorhandle. A couple of seconds too late, I remember the Wraith has rear-hinged suicide doors. Casually, I wander to the other end of the Wraith's enormodoor and heave it open… only to find the steering wheel is on the opposite side of the car. Bloody left-hookers. Pretending I knew that all along and was, y'know, just checking the passenger footwell, I saunter round to the left-hand side of the Wraith. "Where's your butler?" enquires one wag. I'm wondering much the same.
I manage to open the correct door in the correct direction - get me! - but then discover a problem. I don't know how to get in. At least, how to get in elegantly. I know this sounds daft, but as you open the door to a normal car, your feet are more or less pointing towards the bonnet, right? So locating your arse on the driver's seat is simply a case of inserting said feet into the footwell and ensuring the rest of your body follows in roughly the right direction. I have, over the years, become reasonably proficient at this. But as you open the door in the Wraith, your feet are facing towards the car's boot, your right hand on the left door. Clearly a 180-degree spin is necessary, but which way? Bum towards steering wheel or chest towards steering wheel? Honestly, if you're not reading this on, say, a crowded bus, try miming the movement. Not so easy, is it?
I hover in the Wraith's open door, trying to figure out which direction of pirouette makes me look less like I'm attempting an intimate ballroom dance with a 2.5-tonne, 5.3-metre partner. The heckling grows. Deep breath and… OK, I'm not sure how this happens, but I somehow overshoot the spin, execute a full clockwise rotation and topple into the Wraith knees-first. The crowd gives a short - and I fear ironic - round of applause.
TopGear's most glamorous, sophisticated test of the year has not started in very glamorous, sophisticated fashion. I scramble from the footwell and sheepishly nose the Wraith out of the pub car park, tailed closely by the Bentley Continental GT Speed and Range Rover SDV8. We pick up the road towards Torhole Bottom, and things quickly improve. It is early autumn, the air is mild, Somerset is empty, and our green and pleasant land is in its element.
I think: if you ignore its pub louts and its stupid doors that open the wrong way, isn't Britain ace? We may be a small, damp island on the edge of the Atlantic. Our days of global political influence may be fading fast. We may have rubbish weather and an obsession with talking about it. But we do opulence better than anyone else in the world. Think about it: if your remit was ultimate poshness and your budget unlimited, is there a car you'd take over any one of these three? Lexus LS? Too clinical. Cadillac? Lincoln? Too… American. Mercedes-Benz S-Class? Undoubtedly the tech leader, but more office suite than leather library.
Truth is, if you want luxury, you're best buying British. And luxury doesn't come more luxurious - not to mention tricky to enter - than the Wraith. This car is all in the detail. Loosely based on the BMW 7-Series it may be, but the Wraith is simply unlike any other car out there, save its Rolls brethren. The door cards are a single, immaculate slab of wood, four foot across by two foot high. The clock is a miniature Art Deco masterpiece; the dash vents, works of sculpture in their own right (not to mention capable of blasting out air with enough violence to sever hand from wrist). The indicator is the slenderest of spindles, daftly delicate within the gargantuan proportions of the car. The Wraith's shagpile floor mats are deep enough to permanently devour feet; its paint is hypnotic, somehow more… painty than that of normal cars. The Starlight headlining, which sees 1,300 LED lights hand-woven into the roof, might sound like an add-on too garish for even the most taste-deficient Premiership reprobate, but in reality is entirely soothing and lovely.
And the leather. In not just one flavour, but two: around the centre console is wrapped a soft, mysteriously mottled skin. I spend several hours trying to work out from what animal this has been harvested and conclude it must be midget giraffes. It's official: Rolls is breeding micro-giraffes for the purpose of upholstering its cabins. Inhumane perhaps, but it contributes to a calming cocoon, the sort of place to lower your heart rate by 20 beats a minute. But what if you want to drive rather than simply lounge? The Wraith, after all, is the first Rolls in a generation in which you're more likely to find the owner behind the steering wheel than languishing in the back. Some 18cm shorter in the wheelbase than the Ghost saloon, with a wider track, weightier steering, beefed-up suspension and a twin-turbo 6.0-litre V12 now putting out 624bhp - 61 more than in the Ghost - Rolls describes the Wraith as the most powerful and dynamic car in its history.
And yes, out in the hills behind Cheddar Gorge, the Wraith does feel more dynamic than the Ghost, or indeed any other Rolls. However, by any conventional metric, the Rolls is still vast and lightly terrifying. Oh, it's fast, but the Wraith seems to regard hands-on driving as rather… uncouth. There's no faddish Sport button here, no paddles to override the gearchanges from the excellent seven-speed ZF auto, which analyses GPS and satnav data to determine the most appropriate gear for the next corner. You don't notice the genius gearbox doing its thing, which means either a) it is superbly engineered or b) not working. Either way, the message is clear: don't concern yourself with such menial tasks as changing gear, sir. The Rolls will do that for you.
The engine keeps you at arm's length, too. This might be the only car in the world to make 600bhp feel comfortable rather than obscene. Yes, it's mighty fast, but never uncivilly so: an elegant sufficiency of power, more than sir should ever need to deploy. Which isn't to say you can't make progress, certainly more so than in any other Rolls. Once you get that enormous, schooner-like nose pointed at the exit of the corner, you can call up all the power and surf your way out on a wave of imperial British torque. But try to drive it like an Elise, chuck the big girl around, and you'll find the Wraith gives a polite cough and mutters, "I think not, old chap." Smoothly does it - that's the way.
Because the Wraith still floats with superlative… Rollsishness, silent and serene at even silly speeds, with a shagpile ride to match its carpets. True, it's a mite firmer than the Ghost on which it's based: occasionally you get the slightest hint, through the seat and steering wheel, that you might have bumped over something fairly significant: a rhino, perhaps. Or the Bentley Conti GT Speed, which, beside the herculean Wraith, looks almost slimline.
One might imagine the GT Speed - the fastest production Bentley in history - as a cut-price Wraith (only against a £215,000 Rolls can a £150,000 Bentley look like the budget option). After all, both are four-seat, two-door, go-faster coupes. Both spring from the British arms of German behemoths. But they're quite contrary, these two, as similar as lawn bowls and, um, no-holds-barred bare-knuckle lawn bowls. While the Wraith's engine hovers discreetly in the wings, the Bentley is all about its powerplant. For Speed duty, output from the venerable W12 stands at 616bhp, which is proper supercar territory.
It feels it, too: the Wraith, though officially a few horsepowers more potent than the Bentley, never seems truly vicious in its acceleration. The way the Continental launches away from a junction, however, is borderline barbaric, a savagery of force almost comically at odds with the palatial leatheriness of your surroundings.
It's like being punched in the gut by a particularly expensive Edwardian chaise longue. Bentley claims the Speed will do 0-60mph in four seconds and 205mph flat out. I have no reason to doubt this. Where the Wraith politely suggests that sir might wish to back off just a little, the Bentley offers no such moderation. If you've got the bottle, this thing just keeps serving up power and grip.
It sounds devastating, too. Click the central gearlever into Sport mode, and something dark, terrible and brilliant occurs deep in the Bentley's bowels, a bassy wow-wow-wow that penetrates deep into your skull. The optional carbon-ceramic brakes are equally brain-warping, though if we're being fussy we'd appreciate just a touch more confidence-boosting feel in the first couple of inches of pedal travel. And, while we're being fussy, the Conti's big gearshift paddles are a trifle primitive and plasticky in comparison with the rest of the near-flawless cabin. Because, while the Speed's interior is less Great Gatsby caddish than the Wraith's, it is executed with every bit as much conviction and class. This is a cockpit to give nervous cows recurrent nightmares for years to come: a bovine massacre, albeit a beautifully executed one. Perhaps the greatest compliment we can pay the GT Speed is that it doesn't, on any level, resemble a beauty-salon VW. The Bentley feels entirely idiosyncratic and very, very British.
Despite the Speed's lowered and stiffened suspension, the Conti hasn't forgotten its prime billing: as a see-you-in-Prague-for-tea-and-cake-old-boy grand tourer. Yes, it's firm, but never uncomfortably so. A car designed for the M1, not Monza. That said, if we're talking effortless waft, it's tough to top the latest Range Rover. This SUV - this huge, go-anywhere SUV - will spirit you from Arbroath to Zennor, or Alaska to Zimbabwe, as effortlessly as anything on the road.
That said, if any car removes the 'sport' from 'sport utility vehicle', it's this one. Any attempt to get Stiggish on country lanes results in a) impressive tilt angles and b) many looks of terror from drivers coming the other way. But it's a superlative wafter, dispatching motorway miles as dismissively as the Wraith. If money were no object, of course the supercharged 5.0-litre V8 petrol would be tempting. But, deliciously deranged as that engine is, we'd take this V8 diesel for its limitless torque and the convenience of covering 700 miles or so between refuels.
If the Wraith's essence is in its detailing and the Bentley's its engine, the Rangie's is all about its seating. Front or rear, this is a truly tranquillising place to sit, a throne from which to gaze down upon the world. Especially with the £2,550 Executive Seating in the back - which trades the Rangie's standard three-seat bench for a pair of grand, individual chairs, each equipped with massage function: I can't think of many happier places to pass a cross-continent cruise: there's limitless room for legs, heads and arms - and, with the optional full-length panoramic sunroof and a clear night, an au naturel interpretation of the Wraith's starry headlining. So convincing is the Range Rover at playing high-riding limo, you could easily forget it's a top-tier off-roader, too, one that'll attack jungle and swamp like a woodlouse-addled Bear Grylls. And that's why, with this diesel especially, the Range Rover stakes a strong claim to the title of greatest do-everything car. Sure, it might be the cheapest, most practical car here, but it doesn't feel a poor, dumpy relation beside the Conti and Wraith. In fact, as night falls, it's the Range Rover's keys that provoke the biggest fight for the traipse back to London.
Even so, we didn't bring these cars together to declare a winner - how, anyway, could you pick between a £100,000 SUV-limo, a £150,000 super-GT and a £215,000 luxo-fastback? We brought them together to celebrate British lux, and what a celebration they offer. I'm not sure I've ever been part of a test of three such utterly convincing cars, with barely the hint of a wrong note between them. They are very different, the Wraith, Conti Speed and Range Rover, but they share one trait: the uncanny ability to compress vast distances into an airy, easy breath, to smother the hustle of everyday driving with layer upon layer of leather and burnished wood and cushioning. All will deliver you, the driver, to your destination hundreds of miles distant feeling fresh as a steam-cleaned daisy. And, most of all, these three prove that when it comes to old-school opulence, Britannia still rules the waves. Our doors may be backwards, but our posh cars sure ain't.

Emmenagogues :
Of the many plants that can stimulate the menstrual process, some have a
tonic effect on the system as well. Simply triggering menstruation does
not imply anything other than that. Of the emmenagogues listed some work
through bitter stimulation, others through localized irritation etc.. The
herbs mentioned here will also nourish the system to some degree:
Hormonal Normalizers :
A number of plants have a direct impact upon hormonal levels in the body.
Of course there are many human hormones and only a few impact reproductive
function. Many claims can be made about plants that effect hormonal balance,
but here we should limit the plants to those that have an observable influence.
Little endocrinological research has been undertaken on these herbs so it
is impossible to be specific, thus the herbalist tends to talk in terms
of hormonal modulators or normalizers. The most important
one in European Phytotherapy is Chasteberry, which it is fair to describe
as a normalizer as it will tend to move the body back to normal function
regardless of which female sex hormone is deficient or in excess. How this
works is a matter of conjecture. The uterine tonics and bitters may have
a similar effect because of some more generalized toning influence, but
this is not as predictable as with Chasteberry.
Uterine Astringents :
Herbs abound that reduce blood loss from the uterus, wether in excessive
periods (menorrhagia), bleeding between periods (metrorrhagia), or that
associated with organic disease such as fibroids. An important but unanswered
question is how they work because no astringent tannin will reach the tissue
from the gut. It is possible that an hormonal process is involved with some
of the plants but all. Of the many valuable remedies list as astringents
at the beginning of this chapter, the most toning are:
Uterine Demulcents :
Similar comments can be said about the important demulcent remedies for
this system. There is no way that mucopolysaccharide will find its way there
from the digestive process, but still there is no question that these remedies
will soothe inflamed tissue. The most toning is:
Nervines & Anti-spasmodics :
There are also a number of valuable remedies that impact the autonomic innervation
of this complex system. By using the appropriate nervine or antispasmodic
much can be achieved in terms of correcting functional tone. Here we can

Kountze ISD takes action on Scripture banner case
The Kountze school board took action this week that, if a judge approves, could end a seven-month long battle on the use of Scripture signs at football games before it goes to a June court hearing.
The board voted to clarify the district's policy on banners used by cheerleaders during sporting events, said Interim Superintendent Reese Briggs.
Briggs said the policy change requires administrators to approve all signs before games.
The school district's attorney, Thomas Brandt, said the new policy is "middle ground" and rejects the two positions currently before Judge Steven Thomas.
Those positions include assertions from an atheist group, Freedom From Religion Foundation, that the district isn't upholding the separation of church and state and the other viewpoint that students should be entitled to free speech.
Beaumont attorney David Starnes, who is representing 15 cheerleaders in their fight to keep the Bible banners, said he's still reviewing the district's new policy because it's "convoluted" and unclear.
It appears, Starnes said, the policy is not lifting the ban on the signs, which was put into place last fall by former Superintendent Kevin Wheldon after Freedom From Religion complained. Instead, the policy is trying to turn private student speech into government speech, he said.
Judge Thomas has been made aware of the district's action to approve banners, Briggs said, adding the new policy could affect whether the summer court date is necessary.
Thomas granted a temporary injunction in the case during an October 2012 hearing, allowing the girls to display the banners until a June 17 court hearing.

text: Breadcrumb Home News July 03, 2014 12:00 PM U.S. employers add robust 288,000 jobs in June Associated Press Tweet Share Share Email More Print WASHINGTON — U.S. employers accelerated their hiring last month, adding a robust 288,000 jobs and helping drive the national unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since September 2008. Meanwhile, the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget said last week that the state labor force expended by 3,000 to 4.743 million in May, and the number of people working grew by 1,000 to 4.389 million. It said 354,000 people were unemployed but actively seeking work, 2,000 higher than in April. Michigan's unemployment rate held steady at 7.3 percent in May, down from 8.6 percent at the same time last year. For the nation, it was the fifth straight monthly job gain above 200,000 — the best such stretch since the late 1990s tech boom. Over the past 12 months, the U.S. economy has added nearly 2.5 million jobs — 208,000 a month, the fastest year-over-year pace since May 2006. However, five years after the Great Recession officially ended, most states — including Michigan — still haven't regained all the jobs they lost, even though the nation as a whole has. In May, the overall economy finally recovered all 9 million jobs that vanished in the worst downturn since the 1930s. Yet 32 states still have fewer jobs than when the recession began in December 2007 — evidence of the unevenness and persistently slow pace of the recovery. Michigan is down 2.8 percent, from 4.25 million jobs in December 2007 to 4.12 million in May 2014. Factories have added 105,000 jobs over the past year, but manufacturing payrolls remain down 1.6 million, or 12 percent, since the start of the recession. Manufacturing jobs in Michigan hit bottom in June 2009, but the state still has 45,000, or 7 percent, fewer factory workers than it did in December 2007. Today's jobs report from the Labor Department made clear that the U.S. economy is moving steadily closer to full health after having shrunk at the start of the year. June's job gain followed additions of 217,000 jobs in May and 304,000 in April, figures that were revised upward. Monthly job gains so far this year have averaged 230,833, up from 194,250 in 2013. The unemployment rate dipped last month from 6.3 percent to its lowest level since the financial crisis struck at full force in the fall of 2008 with the bankruptcy of the Wall Street firm Lehman Brothers. "Since February, this has now become a textbook jobs expansion," said Patrick O'Keefe, director of economic research at the consultancy CohnReznick. "It is both broad and accelerating." The job gains in June were widespread. Factories added 16,000 workers, retailers 40,200. Financial and insurance firms increased their payrolls by 17,000. Restaurants and bars employed 32,800 more people last month. Only construction, which gained a scant 6,000, appeared to reflect the slow recovery of previous years. Job growth has averaged 272,000 over the past three months. In May, the economy surpassed its jobs total in December 2007, when the Great Recession officially began. The number of long-term unemployed has dropped by 1.2 million over the past year to just less than 3.1 million. That's half what it was three years ago. Still, researchers at the liberal Economic Policy Institute estimate 6.7 million more jobs would have been needed to keep up with population growth. The challenge is whether the job gains will pull more Americans back into employment and lift wages that have barely budged. Many people who lost jobs during the recession and were never rehired have stopped looking for work. Just 62.8 percent of adult Americans are working or are looking for a job, compared with 66 percent before the recession. And average wages have grown just 2 percent a year during the recovery, below the long-run average annual growth of about 3.5 percent. The economy actually shrank in the first three months of this year at an annual rate of 2.9 percent. It was the sharpest quarterly contraction since the recession. Ferocious winter storms and freezing temperatures caused factories to close and prevented consumers from visiting shopping malls and auto dealers. Still, the winter failed to freeze hiring and job growth has continued with little to no interruption. This should help to speed economic growth because more jobs lead to more paychecks to spend. Most economists say annualized growth is tracking a solid 3 percent to 3.5 percent in the current second quarter. Growth over the course of the entire year should be closer to 2 percent for the entire year, roughly similar to the 1.9 percent increase in gross domestic product achieved last year. Other than the weak growth at the start of the year, some other signs point to the improving health of the economy. Auto sales rose at the fastest pace in eight years in June. Dealers unloaded vehicles at an annual pace of 16.98 million last month. Factory orders picked up last month as well, according to a report this week by the Institute for Supply Management. Home sales also strengthened in May, after having sputtered in the middle of last year when higher mortgage rates and rising prices hurt affordability. AP Economics Writers Josh Boak and Paul Wiseman contributed to this report. Recommended for You View the discussion thread.

It seemed a good idea to name the Saturday that Freesia's friends brought an eclectic blend of national delicacies to the small table in our flat as World Food Day… Dishes from Sri Lanka, Tanzania and India combined together with British and Argentine tidbits to create a wonderful spread for all to enjoy. Looking back and writing this it's not that I feel that the name was a bad idea but I'm hoping that I don't interrupt a philanthropist's search to help people of the world less fortunate than ourselves eat. It does sound in hindsight like a charity set on reducing the world's hunger. I apologise if I have held you up on your quest.
Well, to make matters worse there was a LOT of food. Far more than 5 people could hope to eat. But I am grateful for a week of ready-to-go packed lunches as we head towards Easter. It was gluttonous-maximus in our flat that day and safe to say it's a wonder how everyone managed to squeeze their heaving frames through the narrow corridors to the snowy outside world. Well, here're some pictures of what went on!
The recipes for more of the dishes will appear shortly!

England test captain Andrew strauss resigned and announced his retirement from professional cricket with immediate effect on Wednesday.
"After much thought over the last few weeks, I have decided to step down as England Test captain"
"It has clearly been a tough decision to make, but I believe that it is both in the best interests of the England cricket team and myself to step down at this stage," the 35-year-old, who played exactly 100 Tests, added.
Strauss insisted his retirement had nothing to do with the ongoing England exile of star batsman Kevin Pietersen.His last Test was a 51-run defeat by South Africa at Lord's, his Middlesex home ground where he made his Test debut in 2004, earlier this month that saw England surrender their number one Test ranking to the Proteas.
Strauss has enjoyed modest returns with the bat in recent years and his 122 against the West Indies in May was his first Test century since November 2010.
He followed up with another century, at Trent Bridge, but averaged just 17.83 in six innings against the South Africans.

An acquaintance of mine recently left his job in sales for a mid-sized cluster.
He was sitting at his desk at his new job the Monday after the Friday when he left,
when his iPhone prompted him to take an update.
He did. The phone rebooted. When it came back up it had been completely wiped of all
data and put back to its original factory settings!
In addition to email, contacts, chat discussions, and other items, this wiped out over
1000 photographs from the first three years of his child's life.
Incensed, he went to the Apple Store, where one of the Apple Geniuses diagnosed his problem.
"Your former employer has wiped the phone. We see this all the time."
He contacted a couple of ex-colleagues back at the cluster, who were not surprised.
"Oh, yeah. They do that to everybody who leaves. When you came onboard you signed an
Electronic Communications Policy that gives them the right to do this if you leave."
He was also told that this practice is VERY widespread in the radio business.
Apparently if you set up your work email on the phone through Microsoft Exchange there are ways for the admin to go in and remotely wipe your phone. I can understand them not wanting you to walk away with proprietary company data....but did they have to trash all of his baby pictures?
Be forewarned, and regularly backup your data onto some platform that is NOT connected to Microsoft Exchange. And speak with an Apple Genius about pre-empting any remote wiping attempts BEFORE you resign from your radio sales job.

The best role-playing video games of 2012, all in one tidy list.
What makes a game a role-playing game?
That's actually not a terribly easy question to answer, primarily because nobody really agrees on the criteria.
Is it a system of leveling and character customization? Or is it about meaningful choices that impact you and the world around you? Or is it something else entirely?
In the world of video games, there are all sorts of RPGs.
There is the action-RPG, for instance, which can itself be divided into multiple sub-genres from the click-and-loot variety to more story-driven affairs.
Then you have the turn-based titles, which have multiple sub-genres as well. There's JRPGs, CRPGs, and Western RPGs. There are science fiction role-playing games, fantasy role-playing games, and even some that transport us to more mundane worlds.
For the purposes of this list, I am only including games that I've played personally. I didn't play all the role-playing games that came out or were re-released in 2012. I definitely missed some important ones such as The Secret World, a game I plan on playing soon but will not be considered for this list.
As a reader and a gamer, you may disagree with these choices---you may even disagree that any given game actually qualifies as an RPG to begin with. That's fine. I take a "big tent" approach to the criteria, personally.
I do leave out some games that I think are better described as simply "Strategy" rather than RPG. For instance, you won't find XCOM: Enemy Unknown on this list or Crusader Kings II. Nor do I think a game like Darksiders II quite qualifies as an RPG, even though it has elements of loot-hunting and leveling.
Similarly, I am not including betas. No Path of Exile or any other beta-only RPG. Hopefully we'll see some of those in the 2013 list.
And now, without further ado...
First off, several games came out in 2012 that were re-releases of older games. I didn't play all of the re-releases---for instance, the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition did not make it into my busy schedule---but I played three that were brought to new platforms with some enhancements and extra content. These three were among my top games of the year, and in some ways beat out just about every new release of 2012.
Persona 4 Golden is the handheld re-release of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, originally launched on the PlayStation 2.
The game pits you and your student friends against a shadowy world of demons. It also requires you to make choices and commit to a hectic schedule revolving around your school, work, and personal life. Somehow this more mundane side of the game is every bit as fascinating and addictive as the combat in the fog-drenched, mysterious TV world.
The game is massive and the story a mystery. It's one of the first Japanese RPGs I've played in a long time, and it's absolutely one of the best games to date on Sony's PS Vita.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings originally launched on PC exclusively in 2011. CD Projekt RED released an Xbox 360 port of the game last year. This "Enhanced Edition" was, in my estimation, the best port of 2012. It isn't as pretty as the enhanced PC version, but it is remarkably well-crafted and well-suited to the Xbox 360.
Beyond the quality of the port itself, The Witcher 2 is a truly jaw-dropping role-playing game. Its story is deep and its world rich and believable. The combat isn't perfect, but the overall experience is simply breathtaking whether you play on Xbox 360 or PC. The story of Geralt of Rivia, a monster-hunting Witcher, and the tangled politics of sorceresses, kings, and elven rebels, makes The Witcher 2 one of the finest RPGs I've ever played.
No game was more powerful and no game influenced how I think about video games more than Dark Souls, a game I didn't play until 2012. The game was ported, rather badly, to the PC by From Software last year after its 2011 release. With a few quick mods installed and a controller plugged into your computer, the game plays and looks better than it ever did on consoles.
The Prepare To Die edition also includes an entire new chapter---Artorias of the Abyss---which not only adds new areas, monsters, and bosses, but a great deal of rich game lore. I spent more time with Dark Souls than with any other game in 2012, not merely because of its challenge or its outstanding combat, but because of the way the game immerses you in its dark, enigmatic world.
Many RPGs that came out in 2012 were new IPs or sequels and spiritual successors to older games (though I include games that were only released in North America for the very first time in this category.) Sometimes these games were improvements on their predecessors; sometimes they were a decided step back. But mostly, 2012 was a year of mixed-bag RPGs. A lot of good ideas were not fully executed, and a lot of bad ideas made customers angry.
Still, beyond all that 2012 did have an impressive suite of role-playing games across many different systems.
I'm not a fan of MMORPGs---massively multiplayer online role-playing games---but I want to be. And Guild Wars 2 has done more than almost any other MMO to try to appeal to gamers like me.
That being said, as quality as Guild Wars 2 may be, I still have a hard time caring about its story, or feeling involved in the events of the world. It's one of the best MMOs I've ever played, but at the end of the day it sits at the bottom of a list comprised of mostly single-player experiences.
Maybe Borderlands 2 isn't really an RPG, but it's one of the closest things we have to a first-person-shooter in the genre. It's basically a loot-grind in the spirit of games like Diablo, but it replaces click-click-click with bang-bang-bang.
The cell-shaded graphics are wonderful, and the game's humor, while grating to some, left me with the hint of a grin at all times. All in all, Borderlands 2 may not sink you very deep into your character, but between its quests, its endless supply of guns and loot, and its skill-tree system, the game is a lot of fun, especially in small doses.
I know the ending soured this one for many people. For me, I felt the game drifted too far into cut-scene land. But it's still a really top-notch game, and easily the best-looking of the series.
While the story suffers compared to the first two games, the combat itself was one of the better cover-shooter experiences I've played. And for all its flaws, Mass Effect 3 does pack an emotional punch in a way that few other RPGs did in 2012.
Diablo III is yet another controversial game that I had a lot of fun with, right up until the disappointing end and lack of end-game. The linearity of Blizzard's latest Diablo title is its biggest flaw.
Still, I had a lot of fun hack-and-slashing my way through it. I had my gripes along the way, but there's a lot to like about Diablo III even if it's not exactly the game we had hoped for. Hopefully an expansion and some decent PvP come sooner than later, as there's only so long we can keep clicking through the same motions.
Talk about old-school. Legend of Grimrock is a game that hails back to the old first-person dungeon crawlers. It has everything from challenging puzzles to, well, a whole lot of challenging everything.
It may be a low-cost, low-budget indie game, but it feels a lot bigger and is sure to tap into that well of nostalgia old-school RPG gamers carry around with them.
For my part, I felt like I was playing Eye of the Beholder again, only in high-definition.
A compelling story and unique cover-based party action combat make The Last Story one of the better RPGs of the year. I can't help but feel a pang of disappointment that this game didn't launch on the Wii U instead, as the lower-definition of the Wii does make it a bit clunkier looking than it deserves to be.
Still, as far as JRPGs go, the game feels fresh and is both fun and thought-provoking, with elements of both action and strategy to keep it humming along. I also like the fact that the Wii's controls are incidental to the game experience, avoiding any motion gimmicks.
Click-and-loot can get old fast, but Torchlight 2 manages to be fun all the way through. The story is every bit as vapid as the story in Diablo III, but the game itself feels much more unique and less linear than Blizzard's much larger and better-selling game.
Torchlight 2 allows for a reasonable amount of character customization, and provides players with a loot system that actually affects gameplay beyond damage-per-second. Each piece of armor, each shield, and each weapon change the way you look and the way the game is played. It's not a perfect game, but it's one of the best action-RPGs to hit digital shelves in a long time.
Xenoblade Chronicles is an enormous game and one of the most complex and difficult RPGs of 2012. Between a day and night cycle, moving NPCs, a complicated questing and crafting system, and some of the most challenging combat in any RPG out there, Xenoblade takes just about everything from the JRPG genre and turns it on its head.
Interesting, likable characters help bulwark the story which takes place on a world comprised of two massive giants. The big, open world itself is said to be about the size of Japan.
While the game at times feels a bit too much like a single-player MMO with its bevy of fetch-quests, it also manages to be far more interesting than any MMO I've played. And the music is absolutely gorgeous.
I probably critiqued Dragon's Dogma more harshly, or at least more thoroughly, than any other RPG I liked in 2012 save for maybe Diablo III (there were others I disliked so much I had to stop critiquing them entirely, if only for my sanity's sake.)
That being said, I also believe that Dragon's Dogma was among the most ambitious and promising titles of 2012.
The scope of the game is not so huge as Xenoblade. The graphics are not on a par with many of the other games in this list.
The game itself takes many good ideas from other games---like Dark Souls---and then layers them into its own suite of innovations. A wide assortment of weapons, armor, and giant beasts keeps the action fast-paced and exciting at all times.
The story is weird and confusing, as are many of the quests, but that only adds to the game's charm. Climbing the back of a cyclops, or gripping tightly to a griffin as you fly up into the air, or changing your character class midway through the game to learn new skills and a new playstyle entirely, all make the game one of the most interesting, deep action-RPGs to come out in a long time---though I will admit, it's a close call between this and Xenoblade.
Now that the title has a Hard Mode it's even better, though Hard Mode really is hard. With the Dark Arisen expansion coming out in a couple months, the exploration of Gransys will continue.
So what was your favorite RPG of 2012? Were there any games I missed?

Your Baby's First Year - Weeks 3 and 4
Every week of your baby's life, he will seem a bit more alert and awake. You will see that you are having a bit more fun with him, and will find him doing and learning new things, as little as they may seem. While your baby will still spend much of his time sleeping and eating, you will notice that he is awake a little bit more during this time, and definitely focusing more on his surroundings.
At this point he may startle even while sleeping, and he will jump at loud noises, but not wake up. These noises could range from the phone ringing, to a dog barking, to the vacuum cleaner running. This reflex helps protect newborns and helps them sleep through noise and is the reason why many newborns can sleep in a room that has a loud radio playing or vacuuming.

Week 3 Milestones
By the end of the month your baby will most definitely be able to lift and hold his head off the floor slightly, for a small period of time during tummy time. By this point some babies can lift their heads to about a 45 degree angle, and there are a few that can even lift their heads to a 90 degree angle. You might notice your baby making noises other than cries, perhaps even like dove coos! If you are lucky, you might see your baby's beautiful smile for the first time during the first month.
Baby's First Doctors Visit
Sometime between 2 weeks and one month old, your pediatrician will have you come in for a well-check with your baby. Most well-checks are relatively the same. There are a number of things that the doctor will be looking at to make sure your baby is progressing normally. Some of the things your doctor will look at include:
What Might Concern You at 3 Weeks
Colic! A word known by the world to make any parent shutter in the fear of the possibility, or sigh in the relief that it didn't happen to them. How do you know what is normal in terms of your baby's tears?
Colic is defined as a baby crying non-stop at least three hours a day, three days a week, and for at least three weeks. Some might think this doesn't sound too bad, but in reality most colicky babies cry more than three hours a day, non-stop, and 6-7 days of the week. Colic can show its' ugly head as early as three weeks old (although some babies get colicky later) and can last up until 4 months old.
If your baby has colic, there will be no consoling him. If he won't nap, he is dry, fed, and burped, but still crying all you can really do is try to comfort him. Rock him, hold him, but don't get discouraged if nothing you do makes him stop crying. Remember to take breaks yourself so that you don't break down and start crying too. It is perfectly acceptable to lay your baby down in his crib, bassinet, or other safe place, and let him cry for a while so you can take a shower, talk to a friend on the phone, or eat dinner.

If you visited the park in our first couple of weeks, you may have been told to enter using the Gansevoort access point. This early limited access was part of our strategy to handle the anticipated heavy crowds on the park initially.
You can now enter and exit the park at all access points (Gansevoort stairs, 14th Street stairs, 16th street stairs and elevator, 18th street stairs, and 20th street stairs).
However, in the event that we reach capacity, we will once again limit entrance to the Gansevoort access point (or 16th Street if you require an elevator). This is most likely to happen on the weekends, during peak hours of 1:00 to 4:00. So far, this has only occurred on two occasions on the weekends, and has resulted in lines of 10 to 30 minutes.
Most visitors who encountered the lines still had a wonderful experience in the park, and recognized that the brief wait was necessary in order to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all visitors and to prevent damage to the park's delicate landscape.
We hope that you will take the opportunity to visit the High Line, as more than 100,000 visitors have already!
