The signs of the end are upon us. The bursting buds on trees and
plants, the newly polished cars, the budding of new campus friendships,
the appearance of formals, the announcement of elections, and the de-parture
of musical groups for trips remind us that the end of the school
year is here. Speech activities are also displaying the end of these
More than being just a vacation

take the two to visit the literary
centers of England and France,
observing historical landmarks and
attending Shakespearean and other
In keeping with Miss Bisgrove's
keen interest in the Renaissance
culture they will make an exten-sive
tour in Italy. Music concerts
and plays will occupy their inter-est

Among the comments they make
about their summer plans are such
statements as, "to think there is a
month left of having to teach stu-dents
English", or "we don't think
we'll get sea sick", or "our dreams
come true—we've always wanted to
go to Europe.'
Twenty-five male voices, corn-prising
the Bethel Male Chorus, un-der
the direction of Nels Sjern-strom,
instructor of music, will
leave tomorrow, May 3 via Colum-bia
bus service for an eight day
concert tour around Lake Michigan.
Their program consists of songs
by the chorus, such as "Song of
Joy"—Gretchaninoff, "Lost in the
Night" — Christianson, "Brother,
Sing on"—Grieg, "Praises Sing to
Thee", "Who'll be a Witness", and
"Ride the Chariot", special num-bers
by the Courier Quartette, a
brass quartette composed of Don
Peterson, Dan Seagren, Pete Un-ruh
and Bob Franzen, and vocal
and piano solos by Dick Anthony
who is also the accompanist for
the group.
Singing at Ashland, Wisconsin
Saturday night, May 3, they plan
to travel to Ironwood, Michigan for
a Sunday morning concert, Iron
Mountain Sunday afternoon, and
Iron River, Sunday night. The
Chorus will be in Manistique on
Monday, for an afternoon concert
in the high school and the evening
concert in the church, Escanaba on
Tuesday, Ludington on Wednesday,
Muskegon on Thursday, and Wau-sau,
Wisconsin on Friday.
In addition to singing, the men
have organized a softball team
which has challenged the church
teams in the various towns in
which they will be singing.

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends he will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.
Robert Frost
To Date or Not to Date
The question is: "How often should
Bethel students date?" The answer: "Al-though
no definite rule can be set, it is
safe to say that every student ought to
date at least once a week."
There are several reasons for this answer
—first of all, there is the matter of social
development. Our time spent in college
should serve the threefold purpose of men-tal
development, spiritual development, and
social development. Developing our mind
and our spiritual faculties is of little value
in the Lord's service if we do not also learn
how to get along with people. "Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself", is the Scrip-tural
One of the best ways of becoming social-ly
adjusted is through dating. Through dat-ing,
double dating, parties, and other social
functions one meets many young people,
and learns how to talk, how to think, and
how to act with them. By getting to know
others and by becoming interested in them
and in their activities one becomes more
extroverted, more unselfish, more under-standing.
In short, it helps to develop one's
personality, which is one of the chief as-sets
in getting along with people.
A second reason for dating is for the
purpose of intelligent mate selection, with
emphasis on the word intelligent. Unfor-tunately,
many people use more intelligence
in selecting their clothes than they do in
selecting a mate. When a girl looks for a
new dress she does not buy the first one
she sees, but shops around and looks at
several, comparing their merits. Then on
the basis of intelligent selection she choos-es
the one best suited to her needs. A fel-low
does the same when he buys a suit.
Now the same process ought to apply when
selecting a life partner. We ought to get
to know a lot of fellows, a lot of girls, and
by comparing them and their merits, make
our final choice on the basis of an intelli-gent
This does not by any means conflict with
God's part in the matter. Many young peo-ple
feel that "leaving it up to God to make
the choice" means that they should "sit
around and do nothing and wait for God
to drop a partner in their laps." Quite on
the contrary, God expects us to do our
part; He cannot "steer us unless we are
moving". Therefore, as young people we
ought to date many girls, many fellows, all
the while praying constantly for guidance,
obeying His will, and then believing sin-cerely
that He will guide us aright in the
The conclusion of the matter is: "Come
on, Bethelities, let's have a lot more dates!
Get on the phone, John, and call her up.
And when he asks you, Mary, say, 'Sure,
I'd love to.' "
(Editor's note: More articles coming. Next
issue: "Should a couple have prayer to-gether
on dates?"
High over the girls' dormitory, a flock
of birds slowly made their way southward
through the dull-cloud-streaked sky. A chil-ly
wind, strong and invigorating, brought
from a distance the faint and delicious
smell of burning leaves.
On the football field, the Bethel team did
their exercises. Coach Fischer's loud voice
called out, "One—two—three—four . . .,"
while onlookers laughed at those who were
unable to keep up.
A fat gray squirrel, frightened by a pass-ing
student, scampered up a tree trunk
and disappeared into the thick orange and
brown foilage above.
As the evening sun moved slowly behind
a low, gray cloud, a group of freshman
girls, their arms laden with books, walked
hurriedly through the cool night air, across
campus to the library.

What things are interesting? Is it not
those things that we know something about?
We certainly cannot be interested in a per-son
whom we have never had any contact
with. Whether it be persons or things, is it
not true that the interest will tend to in-crease
in proportion as knowledge increas-es.
And in the realm of college subjects, is
it not true that the same subject which
might be fascinating to one student might
seem dull to another? But even after mak-ing
allowance for the difference in taste
and inclination, is not this difference in
appreciation often due to lack of applica-tion
which then results in a lack of know-ledge
and consequent interest?
We may have heard of the student who
went to the College Dean and asked permis-sion
to drop chemistry. Questioning the stu-dent
as to the reason for his dislike of
the subject, there was no more definite ex-planation
than that he did not like it.
On being questioned as to the amount of
time he put in on the subject, he confessed
that it was very little because he did not
like it.
The Dean promised him that he would
consider his request on one condition,
namely, that he would put in at least one
and one half hours each day on chemistry
for two weeks. The student promised.
A number of weeks went by and the Dean
did not hear from the student. Meeting
him in the hall, he stopped to chat with him
and inquired how he was coming along in
his work. The answer was: "Fine".
"How about chemistry? Do you still want
to drop it?"
"Drop it, Dean! Why no; It is the most
interesting subject I have. I did not realize
that chemistry could be so interesting."
So, how true it is that prejudice often
comes out of ignorance. Lack of interest
is often the result of lack of knowledge.
liVe sing in the grand old song: "Oh how
you will love Him when you know Him."
That is true of many things that God, in
His infinite grace, has provided for us
here on this earth.
I believe that it is Longfellow who goes
so far as to say that if we could really get
to know the problems and the burdens and
the cares and the heartaches that beset our
worst enemy, our aversion and hatred
would eventually change to interest and
sympathy and even love—when we really
know Him.
Coming back again to the realm of col-lege
studies, is it not then largely true that
the most interesting field of study is that
to which we have given most time and
thought. That will be true, not only during
college days but also during the long years
that lie ahead. Again, we enter into posses-sion
only when we surrender ourselves.
Lowell Likes It
by "Doc"
Now that you mention it, I do have some
thoughts about Bethel, after eight months
I like it here because I believe in what
Bethel College is doing. And I enjoy help-ing
do it.
In the last century some devout people
felt that secular education was not for
Christians. Some still feel that way. Every
year they can point to youth who go to
college warm in their faith and return
with bright, new ideas of relative stan-dards
in morality and truth, of living for
pleasure, of agnosticism. Rather an unlearn-ed
boy than an unbeliving one, they say.
And I think they are right. Bethel College
is in business to show that this dilemma
is not necessary. Young people trained to
see the relationship of Christian tenets to
history, chemistry, philosophy, mathematics
and the various literatures need not sit
mute in the presence of intelligent, trained
worldlings. Understanding of the problems
that face all men of our day and solid
faith in Jesus Christ as Lord combined with
a clear perception of the relationship of the
two—these should, in my opinion, best pre-pare
young Christians for their job of glori-fying
God and spreading His good news.
And this is the job Bethel is attempting. I
like it.
while crawling around a desk behind a door marked mr bloom's office i saw the
following paper stuk in the typewriter. guess it'll take a psych major to grasp this.
it sounds like code to me.
"The paramount question on the campus is 'Why did the faculty team have its
season's record of no defeats marred at the hands of the Pan Dandies?' Some may
attribute the loss to such a factor as that of the running too long in the same place
on the part of the faculty members. Others may suggest that it was the upsetting
music of the supporters of the opposition that unerved the team. When a careful
analysis of the game is made, however, these subjective explanations appear to be
very superficial. The cause of the defeat was nothing less than STATISTICS. This
interpretation is based on the ASSUMPTION of NORMALITY of team members. As
there was little EXTREME PILING UP, this ASSUMPTION seems fairly adequately
In the first place, FACTORAL ANALYSIS of OBJECTIVE DATA indicate that
VARIABILITY was, if not the principal FACTOR, of STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
If the faculty could have ROTATED as readily as the FACTORS can be, any PRE-DICTION
of a dandy victory would have been at VARIANCE with the final result.
If the faculty team had the ability to find the RANGE, the outcome surely would
have been different. In any game which is NORMAL, PROBABLE ERRORS are cer-tain
to be committed but they must be kept within certain LIMITS. Any extreme
DEVIATIONS from usual TENDENCIES will prove to be catastrophic. The ERROR
PROBABLY most often committed by the faculty was that of permitting the opposi-tion
to SCORE. This does not imply, however, necessarily, that there was something
RAW about the SCORE. Large STANDARD ERRORS were also in evidence. As a
general rule, the PROBABILITY of winning is high if 68 per cent of the time the
defensive player is within three feet of the proper MEAN position. A study of the
STATISTICAL DATA reveals that the STANDARD ERROR was considerably greater
than three feet in that in more 32 PER CENT of the CASES the faculty defensive
player was beyond three feet from the MEAN player shooting for the opposition.
In the second place, CORRELATIONS were PARTIAL to the opposition. PERFECT
POSITIVE CORRELATIONS appeared in terms of MULTIPLES. In too many CASES,
the 'r' between the number of shots taken by the faculty member and the number
of misses was either PLUS ONE or close to PERFECT.
Some MEAN results between the teams would have eventuated had TEA been
used, as recommended by FISHER. This is his usual prescription when sizing-up of
GROUPS reveals that only small stuff is involved. This MODE of attack was REJECT-ED
because (1) no faculty member had a TEA TABLE fine enough for the occasion,
(2) no one wanted to be responsible for the DEGREES OF FREEDOM permitted in
the use of the TABLE, and (3) everyone was certain that the final outcome would
have been of a CRITICAL nature.
The significant question which resolves is whether or not there is a STATISTI-CALLY
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE between the Pan Dandies and the faculty team.
If one states as the NULL HYPOTHESIS that the difference in SCORE for the two
teams was due to CHANCE, then the conclusion would be that one would REJECT
the HYPOTHESIS at the 49 PER CENT LEVEL and ACCEPT it at any LEVEL below
that FIGURE. Is there anyone so BIASED as to insist that there is a DIFFERENCE
between the teams when he must ACCEPT as a LEVEL OF STATISTICAL SIGNIFI-CANCE
one which would allow him to be wrong 49 PER CENT of the time?"

Botany Experiment Proves
Value of Enriched Soils
by Bill Slivka
The experiment pictured above was undertaken to show the Botany
and Biology students the effect that various fertilizers have on plant
life. On January 15, Dwarf Champion tomato seeds were planted. When
the seedlings were about two inches high, twenty-two seedlings were
taken and planted in containers of sterile sand. The experiment involv-ed
two sets of plants; eleven plants in a set. The reasons for a dupli-cate
set of plants were: for replacement of a plant in case of damage
or death, and to check the results of plants treated exactly alike. The
experiment procedure was as follows: in each set, plant number one was
a control plant and received water only; plant number two received
Nitrogen; plant number 3 Potassium; and on us respectively receiving
Phosphorus; Phosphors and Potassium; Nitrogen and Pottassium; Nit-
Nitrogen; plant number 3 Potassium; and on up respectively receiving
Phosphorus; Phosphorus and Potassium; Nitrogen and Potassium; Nit-rogen
and Phosphorus; acid fertilizer; Nitrogen; Phosphorus and Potas-sium;
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, and minor elements; and the
last plant receiving rich loam.
The fertilizers were applied in solution form. One gram of fertil-izer
was disolved in a quart of tap water and two ounces were applied
to the plants once a week. The plants were kept in a south window.
The experiment has been running for 13 weeks and very definite dif-ferentiations
can be observed.
The plants range in appearance from a control plant, which is
anemic and has only three small sickly leaves, to two healthy looking
plants which received Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus. Naturally,
the plant growing on rich loam did the best and is a beautiful, sturdy,
well developed tomato plant with flowers
We would conclude that plants do best in sterile sand when given
the three essential fertilizers—Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus,
and that they flourish in a rich loam possessing the same essential
After garden soil is used over and over again, it is very likely
that the soil is depleted in one or more fertilizing elements. Therefore
it is important to add fertilizers as needed. A soil sample sent to the
University soil testing lab will reveal the soil content of your garden
and necessary instruction can be had.

Dear Student:
Again we have a letter that
seems to reflect a viewpoint that
is not without support on campus.
We have talked with the dean
about this matter. We have been
told that a committee composed
of the Faculty Committee on Stu-dent
Activities, plus a committee
from the Student Council, is hand-ling
this matter entirely. They in-tend
to poll the campus for sug-gestions
on other combinations for
school colors. The opinions of the
students will influence the commit.
tee, however, final decision, on
what colors to choose will rest en-tirely
with the committee. We ap-preciate
your opinion. We, as well
as the administration of the school,
are encouraging more expression of
student opinion in this matter.

This is an official "thank you"-
to the faculty members who took
part in the coffee cup game. We,
of the dining hall staff, appreciate
a faculty and an administration
that will help to plan and carry
through an evening of good enter-tainment.
Delmar Dahl
Dear Mr. Dahl:
We join you in expressing our
appreciation to the faculty for
their splendid cooperation in help-ing
to make the Coffee Cup game
a big success. Since such an event
originated five years ago there has
not been one game that hasn't real-ly
gone over hig. Much credit for
this goes to the faculty. We also
want to thank you for promoting
the game from the student's side.
The dining-hall gang provided a
good team and good "extra" en-tertainment.
Getting somewhat away from
your letter we will give you and
the other students and faculty
members the financial results of
the game. The game is a Clarion
sponsored affair, profits of which
go soley to the Clarion to help
meet their yearly budget and to
help put out a better paper. After
some minor expenses were taken
out, the net profit was $30.00. This
will help the Clarion meet its bud-get.

Bethel's participation in the Uni-versity
of. Minnesota Debate Tour-nament
April 17 and 18 was the
last forensic activity of the sea-son.
This year the debate teams of
Ralph Carlson and Ronald Palosa-ari,
Roger Bergeson and Don Rich-ardson
have made out of town trips
to Sioux Falls, Moorhead and Eau
Claire. In addition two tourna-ments
were held in the Twin Cities.
Next year's opportunities will take
the teams to Iowa City, Iowa, River
Falls, Wisconsin and possibly Madi-son,
Wisconsin. A new Twin City
Debate League has been organized
which will provide six additional
tournaments next year for people
having little or no forensic exper-ience.
We have come to the end
but we look ahead to a new be-ginning,
September 1952.

With only the softball schedule
remaining on the Intramural ledger
for this year, Iowa and Illinois ap-pear
headed for the All Sports In-tramural
Trophy. These two teams
lead in total points going into soft-ball
play. Unless several upsets oc-cur,
one of these two teams ap-pears
to be headed for the trophy.
Only two games have been play-ed
so far in league competition,
and two more on schedule for this
weekend. Of the six teams in the
IM league, only the Michigan - Wis-consin
team will not have played
at least one game by Saturday.
In the two games played, Illin-ois
downed West 12-9, and Minne-sota
swamped Iowa 16-0. In the
Ilinois-West encounter, Bud Pierce
and Bob Bennett engaged in a
pitchers duel for a time, but the
contest turned into a hitting con-test

Bethel vs. N W
Here on May 8
Bethel girl's softball team open
their 1952 season by playing host
to the Northwestern girl's softball
team here Thursday, May 8 at 6:15
Seeking their second successive
victory over the Northwestern team
here in two years, the girls appear
to have the makings of a strong
team this season. According to
Ruth Martinson, acting captain,
there are some positions which
are adequately filled, but the call
is out for more girls who wish to
participate — even for those who
just wish to play softball without
participation in games.
After several practice sessions,
the pitching staff has been nar-rowed
down to Bev Shade, Marilyn
Dahlquist, Jean Frykenburg, and
Marilyn Bittner. Handling the back-stop
duties will probably be Fern
Mattson and Jan McKinney.
No future games have been an-nounced
yet except a return game
with the Northwestern rivals.
Pan Dandies Win
Trying for their second win in
five years, the Faculty basketball
team failed in the annual Coffee
Cup Game April 21 in the gym.
The college Pan Dandies defeated
them 4741. In the Preliminary
game, the Intramural All-Stars
were defeated in the final four
seconds, 44-42.
The faculty team led by Del
Peterson, athletic director, and
Gene Johnson, professor, stayed
in the game all the way. They
challenged the lead of the Pan
Dandies in the late stages of the
game but were unable to overcome
the early lead of the victors. Nor-ris
Magnuson and Gene Messenger
were largely responsible for the
victory for the Pan Dandies.
In the preliminary game, the
fans were treated to a real hair-raising
finish by the Intramural
All-Stars and the Edgewater Men's
team. Leading with only 10 sec-onds
to go by 4241, the All-Stars
saw their apparent victory escape
as the Edgewater center, having
been fouled, scored on a free throw
to tie the game up, then after in-tercepting
a pass, scored a bucket
to take the game.

Bethel Mystery Sport
Baseball—the great mystery on
the sports scene this spring con-tinues
to remain the "up in the
air" sport that it is. Coach Del
Peterson at latest word had several
games scheduled for what he dimly
describes as the squad.
Two games with Northwestern
Schools were reportedly on the
docket as well as a contest at New
Ulm with Luther. Last year, Nor-thwestern
knocked Bethel over
twice on the diamond, and Luther
scored a one-sided victory over the
Indians. Rain was the chief op-ponent
last year however, defeat-ing
the Bethel nine at regular in-tervals.
Interest in the usually major
spring sport of baseball here on
the campus has been small this
year. A small number have been
practicing daily, however. Coach
Peterson has been holding off
schedules until last possible mom-ents
to see what further develop-ments
will arise. Indeed, baseball
is the mystery sport on the cam-pus
this season.

only entered in several events and
the competition was rough. St.
Thomas, with 68 points won the
meet. Other schools in the meet
were: Carleton, Gustavus Adolphus,
St. Olaf, Macalester, Hamline, St.
Thomas, Mankato State, and St.
John's as well as Bethel.
In a five way meet at Macalester
College, Macalester clearly out-classed
its opponents, scoring 106
points. Bethel tied Hamline for
second with 38 points. Northwest-ern
Schools and Augsburg College
also were entered in the meet.
No firsts were gained by Bethel,
but Skip Beard took second in the
220 and 440, and Chuck Lindgren
took a high jump second. Al Chris-tenson
tied for second in the pole
vault. The mile relay team also
finished second. Third places were
registered by Christenson in the
100, Berg in the 220, Lindgren in
the discus, and Berg in the broad
Don Barnhill took fourth in the
low hurdles event; Lindgren was
fourth in the shot put, and Fred

Fifth places: Al Malmstrom in the
mile and half mile, and Gene Ris-tow
in the broad jump.
Twelve members of the squad
traveled to the Aberdeen Relays
at Aberdeen, South Dakota on Ap-ril

top teams were entered, in-cluding
University of North Dako-ta,

South Dakota State, North Dakota

Augustana, Macalester, and Carle-ton.
Bethel scored only a half point
on Lindgren's tie for fifth place in
the high jump. However, in the 880
yard relay event, Berg, Beard,
Christenson, and Larson qualified
for the finals although losing there.
The team also took part in the
440 yard relay and 100 yard dash.

"The church on the campus."
Most sports-minded persons on the campus, and many not sports-minded
are eagerly awaiting the day that the new gym will be com-pleted
finally and fully. That day is not too far off, as those of us
who have been making daily inspection tours know. The gym is rapidly
being completed, and even now looks like a modern college gymnasium
ought to look. When one first steps into the building and looks about,
he is at once impressed by the sight of the expansive bleachers. Oc-cupying
both sides of the huge building, they appear to be indeed tre-mendous.
We hope that at the very first home game next year, the
gym is filled and that all doubts that "this gym will never be filled
with spectators" will end at once.
What will the new nickname be? Many have expressed the opinion
to me that the name "Indians" was plenty good, so why change it?
Well, as far as the opinion of this writer goes, I personally believe
Indians sounds just as good as some of the names mentioned for the
new nickname sound. These include such as Falcons, Pioneers, Vikings,
Ambassadors, and a hundred and one other such titles. To me, Indians
stands up very well along side of these. At any rate, it will be inter-esting
to note the new choice, and its reception by the school.
To be highly praised and commended are the track team members
this year. A group like this are actually and truly pioneers. Yet, they
have been favorably carrying the school name into meets throughout
the spring season and scoring some upsets. Hats off to the track
team in your activities!

Elsevier Continues Its Efforts To Stifle The Sharing Of Knowledge To Pump Up Its Own Profits
from the anti-science dept
And then there's just the general concept of the way Elsevier and a number of academic journals work in general. They don't pay their writers, the academics who submit articles (for some journals in some fields, academics actually have to pay significant sums to submit articles), they don't have to pay the peer reviewers who do such reviews for free. So they get content and a certain type of editing entirely for free. Then, they charge obscene sums of money to universities for subscriptions and try to block off all kinds of other access to research if people don't pay up -- which is especially troubling when the research is federally funded. Oh yeah, they also claim the copyright on any research submitted. A professor I know, who was trying to do followup research on some initially published research, actually had to recreate the original results, because the journal that published the original work wouldn't let him reuse the results of his original study, claiming that it was covered by copyright. In other words, they use copyright to make it that much harder to share knowledge and build on the works of others.
The one "crack" in this kind of academic publishing is that many academic journals would "look the other way" if an academic decided to post a pdf of their own research. At least some journals were even willing to put into their contracts that the authors can post a pdf to their own website, or to public collections of journal articles like SSRN.
However, it appears that Elsevier has started cracking down on this practice as well. Bijan Sabet alerts us to the news that Elsevier has suddenly started demanding that copies of research posted to Academia.edu get taken down. Here's one example from bioinformatician Guy Leonard, who posted a copy of his letter from Academia.edu, who clearly isn't happy about this turn of events either:
Mike Taylor's writeup of this situation (linked above) notes that many academics are pissed off about this and are complaining about it on Twitter. He also notes that there are some good folks at Elsevier who seem to recognize the importance of access to information and who, themselves, are probably pissed off about this. But, really, it seems that it's in Elsevier's general DNA to try to privatize knowledge, research and understanding. What a shameful company.
Hi Guy
Unfortunately, we had to remove your paper, Resolving the question of trypanosome monophyly: a comparative genomics approach using whole genome data sets with low taxon sampling, due to a take-down notice from Elsevier.
Academia.edu is committed to enabling the transition to a world where there is open access to academic literature. Elsevier takes a different view, and is currently upping the ante in its opposition to academics sharing their own papers online.
Over the last year, more than 13,000 professors have signed a petition voicing displeasure at Elsevier's business practices at www.thecostofknowledge.com. If you have any comments or thoughts, we would be glad to hear them.

which albums of ALL TIME would you give 10/10?
the last thread about this thread got me to thinking about this. i'm not sure how much time you need to decide whether an album is a 10/10, and it seemed there was some disagreement on what a decade actually is. i'm going to avoid the big lads (Radiohead, The Beatles etc) here, and using 10/10 to mean albums in the upper 10ish% bracket, as close to perfection as can be:
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Motoro Faam - And Watercycles
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
Roscoe Holcomb - Untamed Sense Of Control
GY!BE - Moya (EP)
Dalek - Absence
Subtle - For Hero, For Fool
Saul Williams - S/T
Paul Simon - Graceland
ISIS - Oceanic
Antlers - Hospice
MBV - Loveless
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
think Motoro Faam and Paul Simon that come closest to being perfect.
really wanted to put Scott Walker, Nina Simone and REM there but couldn't pick an album and didnt want to use Greatest Hits, so i didn't.
i've probably forgotten loads.
London CallingJaguarPirate this'd this

Wire - Pink Flag
Wire - Chairs Missing
Future Of The Left - Curses
Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
Why is it so difficult to buy Cardiacs stuff on CD?
(doesn't do MP3s)
They're all out of print, I think :(
Get the mp3 and burn a CD?
this post contains my favourite 2 albums
it also contains wire's 3rd and 4th best albums, and some decent shouty stuff from wales, but that's ok
Which would you say were Wire's best two albums?
The FOTL album isn't anywhere near the league of the other stuff in the list, but as far as shouty stuff from Wales is concerned it's 10/10.
That sounded a bit condescending towards the Welsh...
I meant that Curses is pretty much perfect for what it does.
SEND and 154
Send is fucking next-level
ummmmmm...Falko is brilliant, don't get me wrong, so
154 above Chairs Missing?
I love 154 but I've always found it a bit incoherent.
chairs missing is VERY close behind
154 has I Should Have Known Better on it though. and it's a weirder, stranger, more psychedelic and otherworldly thing. dunno tho. choosing between genius and genius
forgot to refresh
well I agree with Louie.
This is another one of those threads where we list our favourite albums isn't it?
You can't fool me.
Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Hatful of Hollow and The Queen is Dead - The Smiths
Hex Enduction Hour and Slates - The Fall
California - American Music Club
Treasure - Cocteau Twins
Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs - Tom Waits
Scott 3 and Scott 4 - Scott Walker
Selected Ambient Works Vol 1 - Aphex Twin
Low and Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie
Untrue - Burial
Vespertine - Bjork
Closer - Joy Division
Curtis - Curtis Mayfield
Hejira - Joni Mitchell
A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
The Man Machine - Kraftwerk
Things We Lost in the Fire and Drums and Guns - Low
and probably a fair few others. Quite a few records are 10 out of 10s in that they perfectly achieve what they set out to do. I do find it hard to give that level of approval to a record that I haven't lived with for a few years though (hence why all mine are pretty old)
DIIV - Oshin
having quickly listened to some of the records in the OP...
i can now see that this was a parody of the other thread.

this isn't a trap ffs!
and it isn't a favourite albums thread, although i guess it is kinda.
like Mew's Half The World is Watching Me and Hidden Cameras' Smell Of Our Own are two of my favourite albums but start-to-finish i don't think they have the consistency to be called 10/10 albums
Some people are using it as a favourite albums thread.
I personally didn't.
That was a smug post. Sorry.
I don't actually know if anyone is just using it as a favourite albums thread.
I am
but only because I think an album has to be pretty much flawless 10/10 material for it to be one of my favourites anyway.
- Comaboy this'd this
as above
i might enjoy Mew's Half The World more than Slowdive's Souvlaki, but i think the latter is a better album consistency wise and that it sounds special, different.
I guess it's like your favorite FAVORITE albums then?
because i like the mew album more.
i think you're being erudite, but i don't know what that means.Oissin_ this'd this
maybe, not sure why I'm acting like I care either way tbf.
Nothing wrong with listing albums you like/consider a 10s.
I agree with this. I put Chairs Missing by Wire as one of my 10/10 albums
And I think it may well be perfect. There are plenty of albums that I enjoy more it though.

I don't think I have a favourite album
but The Ballasted Orchestra by Stars Of The Lid gets 10/10 for being one of the better albums i like a lot.
wolfetones - rifles of the IRA
anyone who wants to start looking into rebel music,this albums as good a place as any to start
thread was smashed
ignoreEl_Goodo this'd this
its not smashed
they're widely considered to have recorded the finest celtic folk album of all time and their main body of work is in traditional ballads and celtic nationalisim rather than modern republicanisim(there's a huge difference).
i wouldn't listen to them for a long time because like you i'd taken them to be a very different proposition to what they actually are.
its an area of music worth looking into,even if it is just to help you question some preconceived notions.
i dont imagine you'll reply to this.
Jesse, mate - you're new...
A threadsmash is where the thread gets a bit broken and replies start appearing all over the place. He thought that my reply to you was a reply to him and it all got confusing. He wasn't commenting on your post at all. :-)
i'd had a drink!
just listen to it,you're missing out.
most of its traditional celtic ballads(some not far off 150 hundred years old) and the songs that are based on the troubles focus on the era at the turn of the 19th century prior to mass bombings and the modern IRA.and at times they look from the perspective of both sides politically.
it has some of the most gorgeous mandolin and tin whistle ever put to tape.if i remember rightly the album makes incredible use of some of brendan behan's poetry(one of ireland's finest writers ever).so its not doing very much that the pogues or the dubliners have done to much wider fanfare....or a hundred other indie "OK'd" bands such as the clash,rage against the machine etc etc etc.
so next time you decide to write something off at least make sure you know something about the subject.
beyond all that its easily one of the strongest albums ITT.

i'm actually not sure if i can think of a real 10/10

there are greatest hits albums that are 10s, but actual studio albums, i dunno. maybe. can't think of one, though.
I have very few albums that I consider every song completely perfect

"and using 10/10 to mean albums in the upper 10ish% bracket"
We're rounding up, right?
I have a sweet little 90.05%-er that should be in the list.
For unquestionable, unfuckable 10/10 albums
I can only really think of obvious ones like Loveless, Kid A, Hex Enduction Hour, Trout Mask Replica and The Holy Bible. I reckon Music Has The Right to Children, Tender Buttons by Broadcast and I See a Darkness could fit in there as well. Maybe ( ), Emperor Tomato Ketchup and Two Dancers at a push as well?
Sure, doubtless I'll get shot for this...
... but I'd go with the Kanye and Jay-Z collaboration. Love it.
As you're dragging me to the ditch I'll also give a shoutout to Wild Beasts' Smother, Efterklang's Parades and Radiohead's In Rainbows, although I doubt that'll be enough to save me.
Oh, it's for ALL TIME?
Somehow I read that as the last decade. Well, in that case:
Tool - Aenema
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Pearl Jam - Vs
Mogwai - Happy Songs
Four Tet - Rounds
But I still stand by the above.
Whenever I write a review, these are what I think of as perfect tens
Weezer - Pinkerton
David Bowie - Low
PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
Prince - Purple Rain
Carol King - Tapestry
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Phil Collins - No Jacket Required
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
Max Richter - memoryhouse
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
Deftones - White Pony
Elliott Smith - either/or OR xo
Gwen Stefani - Love. Angle. Music. Baby.
Tom Waits - Closing Time OR Mule Variations
You prefer Genesis?
I find Phil Collins' solo career to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying in a narrower sense.
I've been a big Genesis fan
ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I didn't really understand any of their work. It was too artsy. Too intellectual.
Phil is undeniably brilliant
You can't tell me you like Postal Service but you don't like No Jacket Required? </patrick bateman voice>
I thought The Ideal Crash might have made your list
It would make mine, but I can see this thread for the best album trap that it is! ;)
The The - Infected
Rattlesnakes - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions
Only definite permanent 10? Paper Route - Absence
My opinions on these albums change by the day, but they're pretty much 10.
Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die, but You Will
Anchor & Braille - Felt
The New Frontiers - Mending
Balmorhea - All Is Wild, All Is Silent
Radiohead - OK Computer
Broken Bells - s/t
Radiohead - The Bends (I can't compare it to OK Computer or Kid A, but at the same time I just can't fault it)
Barcelona - Absolutes
I'd add everything by The National but I can't quite decide what I think of their albums. Brilliant songs, but I can't quite grasp them as albums
good point on The National though, exactly the kind of differential i'm talking about.
What's the story with
I guess it's a mood thing
AIWAIS is just one of those albums that seems to flow perfectly because it's so gentle and unspectacular, and it's on the list for the same reason The Bends is and Kid A isn't - because that's how I was feeling at the time.
Marvin Gaye - What's going on

A Net Negative
Since I was away, my impressions were confined to newscasts and publications, which meant little exposure to the partisan rationalizations and mostly marginal "details" of the final resolution. What I saw, a Liberal Party that boxed itself in on probably the least advantageous issue available. Ignatieff came out guns a blazing, with ultimatums on a few issues. The stance was such, it unnecessarily raised expectations on what would be required for a final resolution. Harper's reaction was steadfast, and although Ignatieff secured a face to face, which ultimately left a few scraps, the climbdown from the initial position to the conclusion was striking.
For the first time, the characterization of "weak" was applicable. What's worse, the Liberal strategy lent itself to self inflicted damage. The problem was the Liberals never had the stomach for an election, and the maneouvers after the initial "tough" stance proved it in spades. If one has that knowledge beforehand, it's pure folly to over reach, because you know a backtrack could transpire. What the Liberals did, is firmly put the ball in Harper's court, but in such a way that he had the leverage. For all intent and purposes, the Liberals were a paper tiger. Posturing without conviction to see it through, all unnecessary and risky.
The "concessions" the Liberals received where really nothing of the sort. Our main tenet on EI reform, the qualification number is off the table, it's dead and to be truthful we've already lost the PR battle on "45 days". What's left, Ignatieff now parroting Harper on EI- the Conservatives already had the self employed inclusion in their platform and Harper is on record saying the different regional standards are a problem. Harper was right to shrug in his post-resolution presser, that really he's agreed to nothing he already didn't want. Ignatieff was left to champion part of the Conservative platform as though his own, hardly a compelling talking point. There won't be a fall showdown over EI, because Harper will give enough to make an election over an impasse look ridiculous. The kicker, what the Conservatives end up "compromising" on will be on ground they already largely own. Harper agreed to this discussion over the summer because he effectively will get a Afghanistan redux, wherein he neutralizes the Liberals by presenting a non-partisan approach to Canadians.
As it relates to the opposition day in the fall, that's a strategic point and I'm glad we have it. However, to Canadians, a big whatever, so it's hard to argue this is a feather in Ignatieff's cap. The Liberals extracted another chance to force an election nobody wanted anyways- hardly something that resonates or matters in the grand scheme.
It's fair to beat up on the Liberals for their game plan the past week, but it sure as hell shouldn't be coming from NDP or Bloc partisans. Once again, knee jerk rejection that really looks more foolish with each successive example. The NDP are broke, their fundraising sucks at the moment, their polling is particularly bad where it matters most- an election now almost rationally absurd. And yet, there we see the toothless lion roaring, chest glistening, all a by-product of marginalization. The simple fact of the matter, the NDP have absolved themselves of all reasonable responsibility to make Parliament work, instead they effectively endorse the concept of 4 or 5 elections a year. That's the NDP stance in a nutshell, using the Liberals for cover, letting them be the adults, while they operate in theoretical land in a misguided attempt to look "strong". If there is one piece of advice I would offer to the Liberals, rather than ignoring the NDP, strategy wise I would make a point of highlighting their voluntary irrelevance to the proceedings.
Harper extracted what he wanted- time and a modest agenda moving forward. Harper actually addressed his chief weakness, he looked stately rather than petty. EI is now the fall benchmark, and I see little difficulty in manoeuvring enough to effectively neuter the issue as a trigger. Meanwhile, the Liberals have exhausted a certain amount of political capital, Ignatieff is left with his first truly below par performance and the media frame is adjusting. I see the wisdom in wanting a fall election, rather than plunging us into a campaign nobody wanted, the threat of voter backlash probably more likely than any recent example. However, if the Liberals had that knowledge in the first place, it's hard to justify the unnecessary posturing, because the conviction was forever lacking and subsequent events revealed that for all to see.

You seem to forget the fact that the NDP did propose a stable 2 year government where your boy Iggy would have been PM (too bad the Liberals didn't think they could do a better job than Harper). Also, the NDP polling numbers are not much lower than the election result and they're picking up in Quebec now at the expense of Iggy. Also, NDP is not working well in parliment? What about the auto bill, the airline bill, the EI and environment bills they have in the works right now? They just had a bill pass with support from all parties 2 weeks back. What have the Liberals done besides cave in and get a blue ribbon panel that won't get any results for a year?

yeah i'm with anonymous on this. The liberal illusion of power has played well for the NDP. Also the bill introduce last week to repay bonuses played out to social security trustees was a move supported across the board. They are still relevant, like a neutered dog, you still enjoy its company but realize that it can't do anything without your support.

And of course, the NDP supporter trumpeting nothing as though substantial. It's always full bloom for the NDP. Yawn.
BTW, if you take the average polling from the last offering of all the main firms, the NDP is averaging 11% in Quebec, which is 1% lower than the meger showing in the last election. Yes, clearly on a roll, maybe they'll hold onto their one seat.
Like I said, polling badly where it actually matters, like Ontario, but spin how you wish. Hardly persuasive, nor particularly relevant to reality.

The peculiar part, this posturing was all done in the name of appearing strong, but it was so miscalibrated it made us look weak. If our thinking was no election, I would rather we just came out and said Canadians don't want a summer election, so we won't bring them down. Succinct, clear and everyone just sighs relief and we move on. Have your own working group on EI over the summer, if you want to look productive.

Obviously the idea that returning to the same well as the budget was too enticing; but as you rightly assign, this time we entered with no hand to speak of.
You can't play poker if you don't have a stake -- when everyone knows that you're position is ultimately not to risk anything, you shouldn't be at the big boy's table.
Chalk it up as a lesson learned. While the media and chattering pol classes were all over Ignatieff's misstep, the rest of Canada put on the sun hat and slathered on the sunscreen, then shrugged.

There was another misstep in how Iggy played this out. He told the media he would give them a straight up or down on Monday. But instead, the media got a jumbled list of requests for more reports, consultations, compromises and what-not.
Basically, Iggy has to learn how to make his actions match his promises/rhetoric. This requires him to think things through well in advance.
It would also help if he had ONE game plan, and stuck to it. Early this year, his rhetoric was "Harper is going to wear this recession". That was a dangerous and tricky narrative to take into a campaign.
But it was also a powerful one, that frankly had me worried, and, IMHO, he should have stuck with it. Which means he should have timed his actions to bring Harper down as unemployment was rising, people were angry, and ready to punish the sitting gov't.
I think Chretien, David Herle and Kinsella were right in their judgement to take Harper down now.

The good news, if there's a sense that this past week has caused us to lose momentum and/or some fear of negative impressions of Ignatieff forming, it may cause a rethink on the policy front. When everything is going your way, it's easy to play safe.

I suggest instead of thinking of ways the Liberals can win an election you tell to do some work. The NDP are responsible for over half the private members bills. They have asked more then half the questions during question period. One NDP MP does the same amount of work as 5 Liberals according to those numbers. Yah go into an election with those stats and run against the NDP I would love to see it.

All the strikes going on when others are losing their jobs, no jazz festival or gay pride parade in Toronto - the NDP will plummet big time.
I watched a bio on Tommy Douglas last night - what a disaster in general. May have had some ideas 0 but too, too far left on the border of communism. In fact one of his people was a secret communist who was being watched by the RCMP - she left to join up in Maoist China.

In the next election, the ballot question will be "do you want a continuation of the Harper/Ignatieff coalition?" if the answer is yes, you can split your vote between the Liberals and Tories. If your answer is NO then you can vote NDP. Its quite apparent that there are no issues at all where Ignatieff and Harper diverge. Look at today's vote where the Liberals supported these draconian new drug laws. Are you proud of that Steve??? At some point point Ignatieff is going to have to actually propose a policy - its going to be tough for him.

If those arguments make you and other Liberals so uncomfortable then it tells me that they are very effective!
Its not exactly news that big "L" Liberals will take whatever the NDP does and try to cast in the most negative possible light. That's politics. If the NDP sticks to its principles and consistently votes non-confidence in the Tories - then you say that the NDP is "irrelevant" and is missing on out on the great opportunity of being able to wheel and deal with Harper. Of course of the NDP actually did wheel and deal with Harper, Liberals would denounce it as propping up Harper and the Liberals would jump at the chance to start doing what the NDP is doing right now and start voting NO to everything the Harper government proposes. Back in the winter the NDP was very willing to compromise and make parliament work and was even willing to put the Liberals in power - the Liberals refused to work with them. We'll see how quick the Liberals are to reject any deals with the NDP after the next election.
- 3:24 PM, June 23, 2009

"and was even willing to put the Liberals in power "
Oh, give me a break. Layton was willing to put himself into power, so don't frame it as a sign of his accomodation. The stuff you come up with is laughable, it really is.
The good news, apart from hardcore NDP supporters, not many buy the spin. In fact, the general consensus is this has been a terrible session for the NDP, and the word "irrelevant" a common refrain from people who don't have a vested interest. The latest, shoot before your READ just reaffirms how nonsensical the NDP has become. Keep introducing stuff in Parliament, that never goes anywhere, is never binding to anybody, but allows you guys to claim it all actually matters. It's just a game, played within some esoteric reality that has no bearing on real progress. Jack Layton, 79 elections proposed, quite an achievement.
- 3:29 PM, June 23, 2009
- DL said...
Meanwhile the Liberals keep propping up Harper while getting NOTHING in return (unless you count some impotent "blue ribbon" panel). The Liberals even supported these draconian drug laws etc... What could be more irrelevant than an official opposition that refuses to oppose and instead just props up the government and has nothing to show for it.
- 3:49 PM, June 23, 2009
- Steve V said...
As opposed to bi-weekly elections, and not getting ANYTHING. Gee, I wonder which one Canadians would prefer. Face it, the NDP have voluntarily put themselves on the parliamentary sidelines. From a partisan perspective, I'm glad you guys keep misreading the public mood... You're now not even part of the discussion on an issue you've championed longer than anyone else. And, when we see some sort of compromise, the issue will disappear and your irrelevance will be there for everyone to see. Great strategy!
- 4:29 PM, June 23, 2009
- DL said...
Any "compromise" on EI will consist of the Liberal caving in to Harper and the unemployed will continue to suffer. Ignatieff could have made demands for better EI back in January - but he didn't - obviously the issue just isn't important enough to him.
Seriously though, you know as well as i do that if the NDP gave the SLIGHTEST inkling that it was willing to negotiate with Harper - you would instantly denounce them as "propping up Harper" and the Liberals would be only too happy to switch places with the NDP and start voting non-confidence at every opportunity. Instead the NDP gets to vote against Harper every time while the Liberals are stuck with a bad case of penis envy!

Sorry DL, Steve is right about the NDP irrelevance. Look no further than your own leader talking about compromise on EI in today's papers.
Layton knows he's been put out of the conversation and a) it kills him, b) it kills his party.
Course, it could be argued that the first is overdue and the latter has been announced very late.
Course, there's nothing better than the Libs picking up an NDP idea and running with it.
Witness Green Shift, witness EI. Dead and buried and now we won't have to worry about them.
Way to go Libs!
- 5:44 PM, June 23, 2009

I'm surprised that Liberals are even mentioning the GREEN SHIFT. I thought there were strict orders from on high never to utter those words again in public. It was a fiasco and set the cause of fighting against global warming back by about a generation.
From an NDP perspective, I hope the Liberals put it in their platform again!!
- 6:18 PM, June 23, 2009
- Steve V said...
"set the cause of fighting against global warming back by about a generation."
How is that possible, what with the NDP's beloved cap and trade still very much on the table. Is that an admission that this policy by itself isn't enough, or not as comprehensive as the green shift idea?
On of the main reasons the policy is being abandoned was the complete hypocrisy of the so called environmental "left", the NDP using outright fabrications to discredit an idea for political gain. And, don't think it hasn't hurt you guys, I know of many real environmentalists who will never vote NDP again because of that despicable partisanship.

"I know of many real environmentalists who will never vote NDP again because of that despicable partisanship."
Good riddance. I guess the won't vote Liberal either now that Ignatieff has renounced the Green Shift as well. BTW: I followed the election campaign very closely last fall and I frankly don't recall Layton ever saying a word about the Green Shift. It was clear that the NDP plan was different, but there was virtually no actual attacks on the Liberal plan at all. As you may recall, he spent the entire campaign only attacking Harper and ignoring the Liberals. Why bother attacking the opposition when we want to replace the government. I'm sure it drove the Liberals nuts to be ignore and not to get any attention.

What are you complaining about? I would have thought that from a Liberal perspective the ideal role of the NDP is to only attack the Tories and to say as little as possible about the Liberals. That's what the NDP did in the last election - why no gratitude???

I think I'd rather argue with a potted plant.

For the first month of the Burda Challenge 2018, I made a 60's style cocoon coat and advertising print dress. I used Burda's "Sixties Shift Dress" (#106, 7/2016) and a novelty print silk-cotton fabric for the dress, which is fully lined and accented with faux leather 'necklace' and piping along the seams. The cocoon coat is baby blue fleece, lined in matching blue flannel backed satin, and made using the "Long Coat" pattern (#104B, 12/2015). I absolutely love the fit and design lines of both of these pieces! They were time consuming to make but turned out very well. To see and read more, especially about the history behind it and the things I changed to the garments, please visit my blog page – https://seamracer.wordpress.com/2018/01/31/retro-forward-burda-style-hot-stuff-cocoon-coat-and-poster-dress/

She works hard for the viewers — harder than most cable dramas.
But Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) doesn't get the love lavished on hot new things or the most-talked-about series. Even so, her "Good Wife" remains TV's best drama, delivering 22 first-rate episodes each season.
The latest airs at 9 p.m. Sunday on CBS. Alicia's campaign for state attorney may rest on an interview given by her husband, Peter (Chris Noth), and how he affects turnout.
On most other series, it would be a given that the main character would win. But in a trailer, Alicia comes to the realization that her husband doesn't want her to win. (She did win, but there's...

Our friends at Skratch Labs are obsessed with creating the best nutrition products – ones that taste great, that are made from real all-natural ingredients, and that are designed to optimize performance and health on the bike or off. Their famous Skratch Labs hydration drink mix can be found in our stores and on Performancebike.com, including their classic Exercise Hydration Drink Mix and their new Everyday Hydration Drink Mix (formulated with fewer calories). But Skratch Labs is also known for their real food recipes that you can make at home, collected in the aptly named "The Feed Zone Cookbook".
The Feed Zone Cookbook provides 150 delicious recipes that even the busiest athletes can prepare in less time than it takes to warm-up for a workout (110 of them are or can easily be made vegetarian). With simple recipes requiring just a handful of ingredients, Biju Thomas & Allen Lim show how easy it is for athletes to prepare their own food, whether at home or on the go. To get a taste of what's inside, the folks at Skratch Labs let us share 2 of their most well-known recipes below – Allen's Rice Cakes and Biju's Oatmeal. Give them a try and you'll be hooked.
Allen's Rice Cakes
Allen Lim started making these rice cakes at training camps and races to give riders something savory and fresh to eat while on the bike. They became a huge hit since almost everything the riders ate was pre-packaged and sweet. Not only are these rice cakes delicious, they also provide a consistent energy source that doesn't upset the stomach.
TIME> 30 minutes
- 2 cups uncooked calrose or other medium-grain "sticky" rice [TIP: We always use calrose rice, a strain of medium-grain rice common in Asian cooking. This variety cooks fast (in 20 minutes or less), retains a nutty flavor, and is just sticky enough to hold our cakes together. If you can't find it, use another medium-grain rice or any kind marked "sushi rice."]
- 1½ cups water
- 8 ounces bacon
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons liquid amino acids or low-sodium soy sauce
- brown sugar
- salt and grated parmesan (optional)
- Combine rice and water in a rice cooker.
- While rice is cooking, chop up bacon before frying, then fry in a medium sauté pan. When crispy, drain off fat and soak up excess fat with paper towels.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl and then scramble on high heat in the sauté pan. Don't worry about overcooking the eggs as they'll break up easily when mixed with the rice.
- In a large bowl or in the rice cooker bowl, combine the cooked rice, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Add liquid amino acids or soy sauce and sugar to taste. After mixing, press into an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan to about 1½-inch thickness. Top with more brown sugar, salt to taste, and grated parmesan, if desired.
- Cut and wrap individual cakes. Makes about 10 rice cakes.

Biju's Oatmeal
Rice or pasta are common pre-race breakfast staples for professional cyclists, but at the 2011 Tour of California Chris Horner and the RadioShack team proved that oatmeal can be the breakfast of champions. Many cyclists have mastered this recipe, and it will become your favorite standby food too.
TIME> 10–15 minutes
- 1 cup water
- dash of salt
- 1 cup "old-fashioned"
- rolled oats
- 1–2 cups milk, depending on desired thickness [TIP: Use any kind of milk—dairy, soy, almond. Start with 1 cup and add more to achieve your desired consistency]
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 banana, chopped
- ¼ cup raisins
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a low boil. Add oats and cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
- Add milk and brown sugar, and return the mixture to a low boil. Add molasses, banana, and raisins, continuing to stir until oatmeal reaches desired thickness. Remove pan from heat. Let rest for 10–15 minutes if you have the time.
- Finish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and a splash of milk.

My father passed away when I was young. He served in both WWII and the Korean War as a doctor in the Army Reserves. I didn't get to hear many stories from him personally, and I continue to be amazed by what I find through my research.
Earlier this year, while searching for my surname online, I discovered the book The World of Surgery 1945-1985 — Memoirs of One Participant by James D. Hardy had several mentions of my dad's name in it. I was even more surprised to learn that the book was in the stacks of the University of Maryland, College Park, main library (I work on this campus).
A portion of the book covers the author's time with the Army during World War II and that's where my dad's name appears — my dad was the author's unit commander at Camp Lee Regional Hospital (p. 85). I was delighted to find passages mentioning my dad, such as:
"7 Apr 45. Miraculously, we were ready today to recieve flocks of patients. Headquarters (Lt. Hurand), registrar (Lt. Elliott), and Maj. Corley have done a bang-up job…" (p. 98).
And this amazing excerpt:
"11 Jul 45. Lt. Col. Banks, CO, was wounded seriously… by a bullet accidentally discharged by a Luger being cleaned some distance away. Struck and dazed while sitting on his bunk, he staggered out of his tent calling for Major Corley. The bullet itself had passed through the tent wall and lodged in Corley's bedroll." (p. 110).
My father was on the medical team that helped to treat surviving concentration camp prisoners from Dachau and surrounding locations after the Germans surrendered in the spring of 1945. I have a copy of "The History of the 81st Field Hospital," which spares no detail in describing some of the horrors witnessed there.
Dad also served in a M*A*S*H unit in Korea. I have fond memories of watching the TV show of the same name while sitting on his lap when I was about five years old. He absolutely loved that show.
After Dad retired from the Army (rank: Lieutenant Colonel), he went on to become chief of radiology at Kimbrough Army Hospital at Fort Meade, Md.

U.S. health officials announced early in December that this year's influenza season had started early and they predicted it would hit hard. Unfortunately, as reports from around the country make clear, they were right.
The flu began spreading on the East Coast by early November and soon worked its way west across the country. On January 9, New York City Health Commissioner Thomas A. Farley asked residents with flu symptoms to call their primary doctor first before traveling to the city's already crowded emergency rooms. Then Boston declared a public health emergency because physicians there were reporting a ten-fold increase in the number of flu cases, compared to last year's much milder flu season.
Public health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasized that the outbreak has not yet peaked and that anyone who was not yet vaccinated could still benefit from getting this season's flu shot. Although it takes two weeks for a person to get the full benefits, the vaccine offers some degree of protection long before then. The flu vaccine is about 60 percent effective, but even people who come down with the flu after having been vaccinated are less likely to need to be hospitalized.
This year's vaccine is considered well-matched against the flu because it contains both the H3N2 strain that is predominant this year, as well as the H1N1 strain that has been circulating in smaller numbers.
The last time the flu season started this early was in the winter of 2003-2004.
Interestingly, the type of flu that predominated then as now was the H3N2 strain. Health officials estimate that this strain causes more severe illness because young people in particular have had less exposure to it. They also note that the flu hit before many people had a chance to get vaccinated.
Other than vaccination, the best defense against catching the flu is to wash your hands regularly (or use a hand sanitizer), cover your cough and stay home if you get sick to avoid spreading the highly contagious virus to co-workers or people in hospitals and nursing homes.
