The V-Drums® name has been carrying a LOT of weight in the electronic instrument industry for many years now, and now we at Sonic Electronix can help you see why. The Roland TD-4K2 electronic drum kit pictured above is great for beginners and experts alike; especially if you're on a tighter budget and/or if you live in an apartment where an acoustic drum set is rather impractical due to potential noise violations (I certainly know about those, trust me!). This kit has a module that boasts a wonderful, built-in Rhythm Coach feature that's packed with a broad variety of functions that will help you warm up, tighten up your timing and improve your technique.
"Sounds Great! Tell Me More!"
The TD-4K2 kit comes packed with 5 V-Drum pads, 3 V-Cymbals, 1 Hi-Hat Control Pedal, the MDS-4 Drum Stand and the TD-4 Drum Sound Module – pretty much everything you need to get rockin' right away!
Let's talk for a bit about the brains of this operation: The TD-4 Module. With this, you get 125 instruments and 25 unique kits, you get the ability to tune and muffle the kick, snare and toms individually from the front panel and a convenient Quick Record function that (you guessed it!) quickly records your performance. If you're not particularly into solo drum music, you can always plug in an external media player to the Mix In jack and record yourself playing along with your favorite songs. You know, see how well you can match up with Neil Peart, Joey Jordison, or whomever your favorite drummer(s) may be!
And Speaking Of Matching Up…
Roland has this awesome, new (and FREE!) social networking software for V-Drums owners called Friend Jam. V-Drums Friend Jam was made for drummers, by drummers, and it lets users connect with each other while beefing up their drumming skills with play-along MP3s and performance evaluation features. The software is available here for free and is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. Once you have installed the software, Friend Jam automatically downloads a diverse collection of practice songs onto your computer including rock, pop, jazz, metal and more. They also have full-band arrangements without the drums, so you can throw in your unique style to the song. For more information, see this PDF. Need some lessons first? Check out the boatload of videos on V-Drums Lessons.

The Greek politicians are all pro-choice.
Here is another celebrity to add to the list: Kennedy, the former vee-jay from MTV, is Eastern Orthodox.
Paul Weyrich - powerful conservative American activist; founder of the Heritage Foundation
Michael Huffington - U.S. Representative from California
Isn't Jennifer Aniston Orthodox? I know that her family is Greek, so ergo . .
I would most certainly add these Orthodox to that list:Jesus of NazarethSt. JamesSt. PeterSt. AndrewSt. John TheologianSt. PhillipSt. ThomasSt. Juda the brother of JesusSt. BartholomewSt. MatthewSt. ThaddeusSt. SimonSt. MathiasSt. PaulSt. MarkSt. Lukeand all the others..
I would most certainly add these Orthodox to that list: Jesus of Nazareth
Quite honestly, about people changing their last names when they came to America... I know quite a few people who have done it, Russians, Greeks, Poles... During the Cold War it was definitely better for Russians to have "un-Russian" names in some cases. Greek names... well, I could think of several insulting ways to rearrange "Anastassakis." I have a bunch of Greek friends (and currently a Greek roommate) who's names are very easy to twist around. One of my brother's best friends gets called "Prophylactics" at school, and it's only 2 letters changed and 1 letter added. Kids can be cruel and some people would rather their kids not be teased. So, in defense of Jennifer Aniston's parents... perhaps they were doing what they thought best for their kid(s).
I was saddled with a very long Serbian maiden name until I got married, that I was teased endlessly about. However, I think it's a pock mark on one's identity to change your name. It's being something you're really not. White-afying a name doesn't remove the ethnicty. Jennifer Aniston is STILL Greek. People changed thier names or in some cases had thier names changed FOR them by the wonderful staff people at Ellis Island.ÂÂ
Topic Summary Posted on: Yesterday at 07:42:37 PMPosted by: Elisha A parishoner from my parish told me that his dad said, when they arrived on Ellis island that they were changing their name from Paniotokopolous to Panages since it was too long. He's one of the few Greeks who actually speaks some.
Really? An admitted homosexual?You can't be gay and Orthodox. Or so I've heard.
That's like saying you can't be a sinner and be Orthodox.The truth is, you can't be practicing a homosexual lifestyle and still receive communion. But admitting that you are homosexual is like admitting any other sin, and you are accepted into the Orthodox community with love and open arms.
Cat Stevens was originally Greek Orthodox.
Sorry I am Canadian. Well I'm not really apologizing for being Canadian...but anyhow..what is Ellis Island and why did the people on this island mess up your names??!Now I've heard of Long Island which I think is in New York. So back to the question. What or where is this Ellis Island and why do they change your names? Sheesh thats so rude.
Y'know, because my family are converts that 'fit in' with a Greek community, I have been asked the reverse:'Xristo, what was your family's name before Ellis Island messed it up?'
Anyway, his music is still great!
The workers would often either completely make up new names for the incoming immigrants, or Americanize the originals.
Jack Palance is Ukrainian, but I'm not sure if he's Uniate or Orthodox.
Yea, even tho Cat Stevens made a big mistake, in my opinion, his music still is on my favorite list. Especially, "Morning Has Broken".
I must agree that this entire thread is weird. Who really cares which worldy actors and polititions are Orthodox? The more important questions is which living Orthodox are grace filled and saintly.ÂÂ

Some aspects of the immigration debate are almost as complicated and sprawling as the larger issue itself: what to do with the estimated 11 million undocumented workers already living in the U.S., for example.
Continue Reading Below
Other aspects don't seem quite so difficult.
"The goals of U.S. immigration policy should be rebalanced to give priority to immigrants who have the education and talent to enhance America's economic vitality, by stimulating innovation, job creation and global competitiveness," wrote Darrell M. West in a 2011 policy briefing for the Brookings Institution.
West describes this category of immigrants as providing a "brain gain" for the U.S.
West offers a sweeping mandate but one efficiently addressed in a remarkably concise piece of legislation proposed last month by a bipartisan group of four U.S. Senators. The bill, called the Immigration Innovation Act of 2013, would dramatically increase the number of non-U.S. citizens who could legally find work or obtain education in high-tech careers inside the U.S.
It's practically impossible to find opposition to the goals set forth by the bill.
More Visas and Green Cards for High-Skilled Workers
Broadly, the bill would make it easier for highly skilled immigrants to obtain visas and green cards to stay and work in the U.S. at high-tech jobs. Fees generated by the increased number of work permits would be used to train Americans in the same high-tech jobs.
"If we don't get this right we're really at risk of sending these high-tech jobs overseas."
"I think given all the parties involved it's an excellent bill that takes some of the biggest problems and fixes them. It addresses some of the things that actually hurt our economy," said Deborah Notkin, a lawyer and immigration expert with the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "It's a great starting piece that makes some wise choices so we don't continue to lose our best and brightest to (other high-tech job markets)."
Specifically, the bill addresses three areas: H-1B visas, green cards and science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) funding for U.S. students.
The bill would increase the limit on H-1B visas to 115,000 from 65,000 and place an eventual cap at 300,000 if necessary. The visas allow foreign workers employed in specialty fields to remain in the U.S. for a period of at least three years and up to six years. The bill would also make it easier for H-1B visa holders to switch jobs and move around the U.S.
The number of employment-based green cards allotted annually would be increased by adding applications not used in previous years and by exempting whole categories of applicants, such as holders of advanced degrees in the STEM fields. Also eliminated would be numerical caps based on country-of-origin.
Sponsors of the bill have predicted that higher fees and increased numbers of approvals for H-1B visas and green cards could generate $300 million a year, a portion of which would be set aside for STEM-related educational grants for U.S. students. Under the bill, the standard fee for an H-1B visa would rise to $2,500 for a company with more than 25 workers. A green card would cost $1,000 for each employee.
Notkin said raising the caps on the number of H-1B visas and green cards was long overdue. "Static caps never work," she said. "Eventually they'll come back to haunt you. The economy grows. You don't know what life is going to look like 10 years from now or 20 years from now."
Common-Sense Legislation
But while the three primary components of the Immigration Innovation Act are widely viewed as common-sense legislation that would benefit everyone involved – U.S. employers, highly skilled foreign workers and the broader U.S. economy – the proposal is going nowhere unless lawmakers can agree on what to do with the 11 million undocumented workers already in the U.S.
"Republicans and Democrats understand how the business part of immigration is broken," Notkin explained "But immigration is a very complicated issue and this legislation has to be tied to the 11 million. It can't be done piecemeal."
Broader immigration reform will apparently be a top priority of President Obama's second term and Congress, undoubtedly realizing the huge role the immigrant vote played in Obama's re-election, have signaled their willingness to negotiate.
A look at some statistics show why politicians may finally be ready for broad immigration reform: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2050 the Hispanic population in the U.S. will increase by 167%; the Asian population by 142%.
Obama's second term was barely a week old when six Senators – three Democrats and three Republicans – proposed a bipartisan blueprint that would make it easier for the 11 million undocumented workers to become legal while at the same time tightening the U.S. border from illegal immigration.
In Sympathy With Broader Goals
The Immigration Innovation Act is a separate bill from that wider reform proposal but clearly in sympathy with the broader goal of clarifying the immigration issue to the benefit of U.S. businesses and the U.S. economy.
An array of tech companies and organizations were quick to jump out in support of the fine-tuned Immigration Innovation Act, which was sponsored by Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Chris Coons (D-Del.).
Silicon Valley icon Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ), for instance, issued a statement saying in part: "The 'Immigration Innovation Act,' or 'I-Squared,' is a significant step forward in ensuring that the U.S. economy has the workforce and intellectual capacity it needs to enhance innovation, spur job creation and improve our economy."
The statement continued: "I-Squared is a common-sense solution that meets the needs of our high-tech economy without harming domestic employment. It also provides needed funding for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education programs targeted at helping American residents get the skills companies need to be more innovative and globally competitive."
Other companies, tech groups and immigration activists issued similar platitudes.
David LeDuc, senior director of public policy at the Software and Information Industry Association (SIAA), a high-tech trade group, praised the bill for making the high-tech element of the immigration debate part of the discussion of broader reform.
"If we don't get this right we're really at risk of sending these high-tech jobs overseas," he said.

Economist Edmond J. Seifried, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Lafayette College in Easton, PA, told attendees at the 113th USA Rice Millers' Association (RMA) Convention that the U.S. economy can once again be the growth engine for the world with energy independence obtained through American natural gas exploration and extraction. Seifried said American dependence on imported oil slows U.S. economic growth, with oil price increases negatively affecting U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).
U.S. reliance on imported oil is down 5 percent since 2010, but Seifried believes the discovery of the largest natural gas find in the history of the world, the Marcellus Shale, spanning from Marcellus, N.Y. through the Appalachian Basin, will be the key to American energy independence.
The extraction of natural gas provides energy and economic benefits for the nation, but Seifried noted that the process of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is not without controversy, as critics claim the chemicals used can contaminate groundwater supplies. Despite the criticism, Seifried said the process can be done safely and that exploration for American natural gas offers the best opportunity to put America on top again in economic development, reducing unemployment and growing GDP by more than 2 percent annually as oil imports decline and more jobs are created at home.

What are they?
A playhouse is similar to a shed but designed for children. They tend to have less head room than sheds.
(Image from www.thewoodengarden.com)
What are the advantages?
Like sheds they provide a large area, tend to be cheaper and available secondhand. They are pretty looking as well so reduce the unsightliness of a large building. They are taller than hutches so give plenty of height for toys and levels.
What are the disadvantages?
As with sheds they don't work so well for smaller gardens. They also tend to have less head height than sheds so can be a bit awkward for human visitors!
OK, so I want to go for a playhouse, what do I do now?
As with sheds look for something that will last. You might want to insulate to help keep it cool in summer and warm in winter. Boarding the inside stops the rabbits from chewing the edges. Many of our members have made second levels with shelves or a hutch. A low hutch with a flat roof can easily be used by putting a smaller stool next to it for a jump up or a ramp to the top. A hutch on legs can also be used by building a ramp up to the smaller doorway.
It's also a good idea to have some space outside so the rabbits can have some fresh air, runs and aviaries can be connected with a cat flap or tunnel. If there are windows in the playhouse it can be a good idea to mesh these, especially if there are a lot as the playhouse may get quite hot. You may also want to make a low down barrier that you can step over when you open the door otherwise they may run out!!
Please note that plastic and metal playhouses are not suitable as they get too hot in summer and too cold in winter.

What are they?
A run is an enclosed meshed area for rabbits. They usually have four sides and a top. Usually they are made from panels that have a wood frame with mesh inside. There are also metal runs with metal tops and metal runs without tops.
(Image from www.gardencentreonline.co.uk)
(Image from www.trixie.de)
(Image from www.trixie.de)
What are the advantages?
Runs offer a ready made extension to a hutch, shed or playhouse. They are usually easy to find.
What are the disadvantages?
Runs often need extra protection added such as mesh underneath to stop a rabbit from digging out. They also don't offer shelter. They don't usually allow the owner to be able to get in with the rabbits.
Please be aware of a safety hazard with some kinds of runs as detailed in this link.
OK, so I want to go for a run, what do I do now?
Runs should be at least 8 foot long, 4 foot deep and 2 foot high. Taller runs are preferred as rabbits can easily reach 2 foot in the air binkying, some can reach 3 foot plus.
Runs should be meshed underneath, either to the bottom of the run or under turf. It is advisable to connect them to a hutch or similar so that the rabbit has a place of shelter in case of inclement weather or predators which can scare the rabbit to death. Cat flaps and runaround tunnels can be used for this. If making a run make sure to use galvanised mesh and NOT chicken wire as chicken wire can be easily bitten through by rabbits and predators alike.
If using a run without a secure lid make sure the rabbits are supervised at all times in case of a predator knocking the lid off and being able to get to the rabbits.
THIS LINK shows one method of building a run (Please note that in the photos chicken wire is used, please use galvanised mesh instead of chicken wire!)
And another step-by-step of how to make a run by snaisby
What are they?
A aviary is like a tall run. They are mainly designed for birds. You can buy them ready made or buy pre-made panels and put them together.
(Image from www.aviaries4u.co.uk)
(Image from www.manorfarmwoodcraft.co.uk)
What are the advantages?
Aviaries have an advantage over runs as they are taller which means they have more head height for owners. This also gives scope for adding in levels and taller toys. As they also come in panels they can be quite flexible. The panels can also be used for building a run.
What are the disadvantages?
In a small garden an aviary may feel imposing and take up space. Aviaries also cannot be moved around like runs can.
OK, so I want to go for a aviary, what do I do now?
Decide whether you want to buy a ready made aviary or panels. There are some sellers on Ebay as well as websites that sell both the panels and the built aviaries. As with runs make sure the panels are built using galvanised mesh and NOT chicken wire. The best runs use 19G mesh or better.
As with runs aviaries should be meshed underneath, either to the bottom of the run or under turf. It is advisable to connect them to a hutch or similar so that the rabbit has a place of shelter in case of inclement weather or predators which can scare the rabbit to death. Cat flaps and runaround tunnels can be used for this. It can be a good idea to create a roof over the aviary with corrugated plastic slightly raised one side to drain water away so that it does not become flooded.

Matt Bishop's Mania Moments will take a look at the top 28 moments in WrestleMania history as we lead up to WrestleMania 28 on April 1 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
No. 25 - McMahon amazingly has good matches
The event: WrestleMania X-7, WrestleMania XIX, WrestleMania XXII
Where: Reliant Astrodome (Houston), Safeco Field (Seattle), Allstate Arena (Chicago)
The moment: Vince McMahon gets beat up, never wins at Mania
WWE chairman Vince McMahon never trained to be a professional wrestler. But as the owner of the World Wrestling Federation, he often found himself involved in the storylines, most notably his long feud with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. McMahon's involvement in things often ended up with him in the ring (in 1999 alone, he won the Royal Rumble and became WWF Champion). As he got older, though, he saved his matches for the big stage -- and boy did they deliver.
By all rights, no Vince McMahon match should ever be good. Yet, on the "Grandest Stage of Them All," his matches have more often than not been very good.
He started at WrestleMania X-7 with a match against his son Shane McMahon. This came a week after Shane had snuck in and purchased WCW, adding even more to an already anticipated match.
With Mick Foley as the special guest referee, the two brawled all around the ringside area. Shane loaded his father up on the Spanish announce table and went to the top rope for his signature elbow drop, but his sister Stephanie pulled their father out of the way, leaving Shane to crash and burn through the table.
After a brief catfight between Stephanie and Trish Stratus, McMahon put his "sedated" wife Linda into the ring and sat her on a chair in the corner so she could watch the beating he was going to put on Shane. McMahon threw multiple trash cans in the ring, beating Shane with them. He went for one more shot, but Linda rose from her chair and kicked McMahon low. Then Foley, who McMahon had hit with a chair, beat McMahon down in the corner, leading Shane to go coast-to-coast, drop kicking a trash can into his father's face and picking up the win.
Two years later, it was "20 Years in the Making" as McMahon battled Hulk Hogan with Hogan's career on the line.
This one, as Jim Ross would say, was definitely bowling shoe ugly. But somehow, someway, it was entertaining. It was an all-out brawl that saw both men bleed and even saw McMahon go to the top of a ladder and leg drop Hogan through an announce table.
Back in the ring, with both men down, a man in a black hat and black coat entered the ring. He stripped those off and was revealed to be none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper, making his return to WWE for the first time in seven years. Piper bad mouthed both men, spit at Hogan and kicked McMahon in the rear. He picked up the steel pipe in the ring and decided to level Hogan with it. McMahon would rise, land some more pipe shots and hit the leg drop, but of course, Hogan kicked out and started to Hulk Up.
Hogan would hit his punches, the big boot and then not one, not two, but three leg drops to put McMahon away. A match so much better than it had any right to be.
Three years later at WrestleMania 22, McMahon had been tormenting Shawn Michaels for months, leading to their, you guessed it, no holds barred match in Chicago.
As crazy as ever, the 60-year-old McMahon came to the ring and posed with his Muscle and Fitness cover. This was too much for Michaels to take, as he left the ring and the brawl was on. Michaels would beat McMahon up some and throw him in the ring while grabbing the magazine cover and busting it over McMahon's head.
This, though, brought the Spirit Squad out and the numbers game quickly caught up to Michaels. He would fight them off, but it allowed McMahon to recover and take over the match. Michaels would rally until Shane McMahon came down and started beating HBK with a kendo stick. Shane would try to help Michaels join the "Kiss My Ass" club, but instead, it was Shane who took a big trip into his father's backside.
After dispatching of Shane, Michaels grabbed the biggest possible ladder, set McMahon up on a table and put a trash can over his head. He climbed to the top of the ladder, flashed the DX sign and came down with a hellacious elbow drop. The medics would come down for McMahon, but Michaels would run them off and level McMahon with Sweet Chin Music, winning the match.
Why it was important: To be honest, of all the moments on this list, this one is probably here because I really enjoyed it. I can't say anyone else has the love for these matches that I do (in fact, his match with Michaels is one of my all-time favorites), but there's no doubt they exceeded expectations all the way around. With the use of a lot of smoke and mirrors, Vince McMahon was able to have three spectacular WrestleMania matches. The one with Michaels, the best of the three, also goes to show you how great Michaels was.
Just before WM26, McMahon addressed his match with Hart, and the complications it brought to his dual role as wrestler and promoter. "It makes things more difficult," Mr. McMahon admitted to the Connecticut-based Arts & Leisure. "I really much more prefer working behind the scenes as a director and a producer than being part of the action. I do hope this will be my last time in the ring, but I say that after every match I'm in. I'm 64 years old and while I�m in great physical condition and I never want to say never, I really don't want to do this again."

Looking for CULLINA/BUTLER of Irishtown, County Mayo
I am looking for my family in Irishtown, CO Mayo. The last name is CULLINA. I know there are no more living there, the last one married into the FREELY family, but I need the history. My gg grandparents came the United States about 1869 ish. They had one son, John, whom they left behind. I have no idea who raised him but he came over in 1889. He never spoke to his parents so we (his family) have no information beyond his parents. His father was Pat Cullina b March 1844, his mother was Bridget Quinn b August 1842. These dates may not be correct as they were given by children at their death. If anyone can help, I'd be most grateful!

Individual vs. Business Facebook Accounts
Facebook has "accounts" (which can be "friended") for individuals and "pages" for businesses, products and other entities which can be "liked".
It is getting more and more complicated, for me anyway, as genealogists are using individual accounts for their business.
If you are going to use an account for your business please put some information on your INFO tab page that identifies who you are.
Here's why I say this, I get lots of queries about genealogy. Most of them are NOT in my area of expertise. So I am constantly referring people to other genealogists.
This morning I saw a post from a Facebook friend with a "business" account. This Facebook friend looked very knowledgeable about New York. I would like to contact this person but there is no name anywhere in the posts or on the info page.
I know, you are saying "just send the person an email." Unfortunately I'm a bit of an old fuddy duddy. I like to know who I am contacting first. When I friended this person originally maybe I knew they were, but since then I have lost the connection between the real person and the company name. So many genealogists are known better by their real name rather than their company.
So just a thought for those of you using Facebook individual accounts for your business instead of a business page - put your name(s) on your page. Thanks!

You're right Marian. It is getting so complicated as everyone gets introduced to new forms of social media. We're at the beginning of a long process, and while we all adapt to it, it's best to state outright who you are or you are going to garner suspicion and lose potential clients.ReplyDelete
My quick thoughts on Facebook for genealogists:ReplyDelete
- use only one account. Each account must be email based and it gets too difficult to manage logging in and out.
- create Friends lists. This way you can target messages to specific groups like genealogists
- create a Facebook page for your genealogy business. You can have as many Facebook pages as you'd like.
Genealogy is a very "one-on-one, people-oriented" activity, while the series of tubes that are the internets (and even some kinds of social media) encourage people to create opaque user names, aliases and avatars in order to participate. This seems to create a kind of cognitive dissonance in some folks who equate being online with being anonymous, even though the activity they're engaging in is intensely personal. IMHO, it just makes good business sense for those of us who work in the field and who use social media to identify ourselves (with real names) to colleagues, customers and clients. Sure, I wear my "Jonathan Sheppard Books" hat a good part of the day, but when I'm answering questions sent to the JSB site, writing articles, lecturing, Facebooking, and now blogging, I'm plain ol' Mel Wolfgang (who…because of his name… is pretty easy to track down, anyway.)ReplyDelete
I agree with you completely. Thank you for pointing out the shift we are experiencing on the internet. Originally people thought the internet was an anonymous destination. But that has changed and more and more it is an open public arena where business is conducted. Also, I believe anyone who thinks they are having an anonymous experience on the internet is mistaken. Everything is traceable when it really comes down to it.
This is timely because I too have noticed several gen businesses creating individual profiles in addition to their already established Pages. Evidently instead of doing the work to promote their pages, the people behind these businesses have decided it's easier to do one-on-one "friend" requests. My new policy is to decline being "friends" with anyone who isn't an individual.

Following consistently increasing demand for design services throughout most of 2013, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) has posted its first consecutive months of contraction since May and June of 2012.
As a leading economic indicator of construction activity, the ABI reflects the approximate nine to twelve month lead time between architecture billings and construction spending.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported the December ABI score was 48.5, down from a mark of 49.8 in November. This score reflects a decrease in design services (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings).
The new projects inquiry index was 59.2, up from the reading of 57.8 the previous month.
"What we thought last month was an isolated dip now bears closer examination to see what is causing the slowdown in demand for architectural services," said AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker, Hon. AIA, PhD. "It is possible that some of this can be attributed to the anxiety in the marketplace caused by the shutdown of the federal government, but it will be important to see how business conditions fare through the first quarter of the new year when we no longer have end of the year issues to deal with."
Key December ABI highlights:
• Regional averages: West (53.2), South (51.2), Midwest (47.0), Northeast (42.8)
• Sector index breakdown: multi-family residential (53.8), mixed practice 51.0), commercial / industrial (47.1), institutional (44.8)
• Project inquiries index: 59.2
Note: The regional and sector categories are calculated as a 3-month moving average, whereas the index and inquiries are monthly numbers.
About the AIA Architecture Billings Index
The Architecture Billings Index (ABI), produced by the AIA Economics & Market Research Group, is a leading economic indicator that provides an approximately nine to twelve month glimpse into the future of nonresidential construction spending activity. The diffusion indexes contained in the full report are derived from a monthly "Work-on-the-Boards" survey that is sent to a panel of AIA member-owned firms.
Participants are asked whether their billings increased, decreased, or stayed the same in the month that just ended as compared to the prior month, and the results are then compiled into the ABI. These monthly results are also seasonally adjusted to allow for comparison to prior months. The monthly ABI index scores are centered around 50, with scores above 50 indicating an aggregate increase in billings, and scores below 50 indicating a decline. The regional and sector data are formulated using a three-month moving average.
More information on the ABI and the analysis of its relationship to construction activity can be found in the White Paper Architecture Billings as a Leading Indicator of Construction: Analysis of the Relationship Between a Billings Index and Construction Spending on the AIA website.

Install an NFS server
Installing an NFS server is as simple as
# apt-get install nfs-user-server
# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
Next you have to make sure that your share is being exported and available to other machine. This can be done by change the /etc/exports file. This should look something like:

Adam And Kassian Do The I-90 Swap
Spending Friday night in the pressbox following a 20 game scoreless streak, Luke Adam has been assigned to Rochester by Lindy Ruff. In his place, Zack Kassian has been recalled for tonight's game versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. Fans have been calling for something to happen for a while and, while the team isn't in the business of appeasing fans' whims, the move should benefit both youngsters greatly.
Luke Adam looked lost out there for the Sabres, having his production and ice time plummet since the hot start to his rookie season. The bottom of the barrel took the shape of centering the fourth line until he sat out of his team's 2-1 shootout win against the Stars. So after starting the season with 20 points in his first 32 games, he found himself pointless in the next 20. He would have made it to 21 if not for his being a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. Yesterday morning, much to no one's surprise, Ruff said that demoting the young man to Rochester was something he'd been considering.
A number of theories were bandied about on the Sabres twittosphere, ranging from poor conditioning to crumbling under the pressure of being the top center to just losing confidence. Whatever the reason his production evaporated, he has a chance to find his groove again in the mellower confines of the Rochester Community War Memorial. The Amerks are arguably worse off at the center position than their parent club, so Adam will likely get top six minutes right off the bat. He'll be facing lesser competition than he's used to, and he'll have a coach who specializes in development guiding his hand. He'll also probably get a lot of power play time, giving him more work on his special teams play.
Taking the injured Cody McCormick's place in the lineup on the fourth line instead of Adam is big, would-be bruiser Zack Kassian. Kassian is a player who, while offensively capable, has the temperament and size to play the grinder role much better than Adam would. Playing on a fourth line with a coach who demands intensity will help improve Kassian's consistency and tempo, while giving him a chance to play against increased competition. He'll likely be counted on for limited offensive contribution while playing on a line with Matt Ellis and Patrick Kaleta, unless coach Ruff tinkers with the lines like he's wont to do and slides some players down to accommodate the new call-up.
While not really important given the position Ruff will probably have Kassian inhabiting, the big winger has been productive for Rochester where it matters – on the scoresheet. The former Windsor Spitfire scored twice during last night's 9-4 firewagon win over the Texas Stars and has 15 goals and 26 points in 30 games in the AHL. Drafted for his talent and his temper, Kassian's scoring has come naturally in the minors but his edge has seemed lacking. It could be an attempt to distance himself from his junior hockey reputation as a pug, but both the Amerks and Sabres need him to walk that line on a regular basis.
The circumstances of Adam and Kassian swapping positions are obvious, as are the probable circumstances of their return – the health of Cody McCormick. The Sabres' resident heavyweight is officially listed day-to-day and his return would likely predicate the two rookies switching places again. There are, however, scenarios to the contrary. McCormick could return and send Kassian down to Rochester to play with Adam, which seems very unlikely. There's also the possibility that McCormick could return and knock Matt Ellis out of the lineup, which also seems unlikely. It seems like the Sabres merely are waiting on McCormick getting healthy and/or Adam getting his groove back before doing anything.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Luke Adam will makes his Amerks debut tonight versus the San Antonio Rampage. Game is at 7:35PM at the War Memorial. Zack Kassian will be in the Sabres' lineup versus the Lightning at First Niagara Center. Game is at 7PM and will be shown tonight on WGRZ with full pregame (at 6:30PM) and postgame shows.
Here is the Sabres' press release:
BUFFALO, N.Y. (February 11, 2012) — Buffalo Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier today announced that forward Zack Kassian has been recalled from the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.
Kassian (6'3", 228 lbs., 1/24/91) will join the Sabres for his third recall of the season. In his first full professional season, has appeared in 19 games for the Sabres, recording six points (3+3) and 13 penalty minutes. Kassian has played in 30 games for the Americans this season, tallying 26 points (15+11) and appearing in the 2012 AHL All-Star Game.
The Windsor, Ontario native was selected by Buffalo in the first round (13th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He played in three games during the 2010-11 season for the Portland Pirates as they advanced to the Division Finals of the Calder Cup Playoffs.
The Sabres also announced that forward Luke Adam and defenseman TJ Brennan have both been loaned to Rochester.
Great article! I hope it benefits both players.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has a nice Monday morning surprise, a "soft launch" of the new consumer product safety complaint database, SaferProducts.gov, which the National Association of Manufacturers believes is ripe for abuse.
Alston and Bird reported the news in a client advisory last Thursday, "Consumer Product Safety Commission Database to Become Operational on January 24, 2011, Weeks Earlier than Expected":
This early "soft launch" was announced during a CPSC presentation on January 20, 2011. Manufacturers and others affected by the database now effectively have one full business day to prepare for the database's launch….
Although the CPSC indicated that consumer reports of harm submitted during the soft launch would not be publicly viewable during the launch period, clients should still be prepared to respond promptly to reports of harm. Today's unexpected announcement also suggests that clients should be prepared for other unexpected actions by the CPSC with regard to the database.
UPDATE (10:25 a.m.): To be fair, we should repeat the CPSC's important note about the "soft launch": "Reports and manufacturer comments collected during Soft Launch will not be published and searchable in the Database, even after the official launch in March 2011." Rest of the post continues below …
The NAM detailed manufacturers' objections in a Jan. 13 Capital Briefing, "CPSC to Roll out Product Safety Database":
This database has alarmed manufacturers, who fear that it will become a poorly monitored site that encourages reputation-harming complaints. Unfortunately, the new rule invites the gaming of the database to the detriment of manufacturers of safe products, even to the point of expanding the definition of "consumer" and "public safety entities" those who can register an online complaint to include trial lawyers and activist groups.
Advertising Age' latest report also spots the problems. From "Marketers, Meet the Feds' Very Own Yelp": Read More


text: President Obama is facing a critical opportunity to take the country beyond its century-and-a-half reliance on oil. Earth Day on Monday, and this weekend's third anniversary of the BP Gulf of Mexico disaster, offer stark reminders of the stakes and mistakes inherent in crude. To paraphrase Charles Dickens, the president made the best of decisions last summer when he dramatically improved mileage-and-emissions standards for US cars and light trucks. Now, he could make the worst of decisions – approving the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The pipeline would carry some of the world's most-polluting and expensive oil from Canada to Texas. It would threaten America's rivers, water supplies and the atmosphere. And we won't even get the benefit of these new supplies. Much of the fuel the pipeline delivers would be exported. There is no question that we are burning too much oil – too much for our economic security and our environmental security.The president recognises the risk that oil poses. He took the biggest single step of any nation to cut oil use and global warming pollution when he set the United States last summer on course to nearly double the gas mileage of our new car fleet, and halve the autos' greenhouse gas emissions, by 2025. The tar sands oil that the Keystone pipeline would transport is among the dirtiest there is. Burning it would release at least 19 per cent more carbon dioxide, the main global warming pollutant, than conventional crude oil. And it threatens other pollution as well: when a pipeline operated by Exxon Mobil Corp. sprung a leak near Mayflower, Arkansas, on March 29, it wasn't just tar sand oil that came out. Benzene, toluene and hydrogen sulphide leaked, too. The dizziness and nausea that afflicted local residents were similar to the complaints voiced by people living along the Kalamazoo River in Michigan, where Canada's Enbridge Inc. pipeline spilled tar sands oil in 2010. The consequences of our thirst for oil abound. Three years ago this weekend, the BP explosion killed 11 oil rig workers, polluted the Gulf of Mexico with 210 million gallons of crude oil, decimated sea life, and fouled four states' beaches. Have we not learned its lessons? Yet Keystone XL's proponents present it as too good to pass up — Canadian oil that would substantially increase US supplies. That's not true. With much of it destined for overseas buyers, it would barely add a drop to US tanks. And wherever it ends up, it is likely to raise, not lower, the price of gasoline. That is because extracting, transporting and refining it requires more energy — and dollars — than more conventionally produced gasoline. The pipeline's supporters argue that it will create jobs. But the vast majority will be temporary, disappearing once construction is done. Only 127 permanent workers will remain to run the pipeline, according to Lara Skinner, a Cornell University researcher. Rather than importing the Canadian tar sands, only to refine and then ship its oil overseas, we should use our best technology to cut our oil use in half. We can start by expanding our fleet of hybrid and electric vehicles, improving home heating and industrial efficiency, and accelerating the development of cleaner alternatives to oil. That same American know-how, sent abroad, can help other nations cut their use of fossil fuels, too. We can export the world's best technology rather than import its worst oil. MCT

The thing that intrigues me is Dante's new design is it's extremely unconventional. Usually most male Western video game protagonists seem to all be muscle-bound (sometimes bearded) action heroes ranging from ages 20-50 seen in so many action games and FPSs:
Spoiler for Examples:
While most male protagonists in Japanese video games all seem to be the stereotypical pretty boy bishonens and most aren't even out of their teens seen in so many of their JRPGs. As for the new Dante, he ain't exactly a muscular old man nor is he a bishonen.

Im not the only one who's said so, and I've seen the same unhappiness and thoughts about the new look elsewhere, so even if you don't draw that from the new look, I, and a lot of other people do.

He tries to act Dante-ish in the trailer, the only part where he breaks character is his psychotic jail-flashback breakdown...so yeah the story is bound to suck, that much I admit, but I really don't think there's any other game of this kind that can best the DMC3 story and character development.

The new look as we've seen it so far, doesn't suit the well established character that is Dante (he's popular enough he's made it out of the DMC games into cameos elsewhere, he's become pretty recognisable amongst gamers). That'd be fine if its a new series, but it's not, it's DMC, and that isn't the Dante and doesn't convey the Dante we've come to know and like.
What's so hard to understand about that? We don't like the new look and don't think it suits Dante, it doesn't convey what the character is about.
I've already said I'm going to wait with an open mind on the game itself, I'm specifically talking the artstyle and character design as we've seen it so far!

I'll go with what shiroth said about them pulling a MGS2
then in next DMC the original dante will be the main character and then the other dante will turn into badass you want him to be like Raiden in MGS4 LOL
jokes aside
If the game is as action packed as the rest I don't mind the new dante
I just really hope there will be a boss fight like mundus, honestly the first game puts a fight like that and they don't do something like that for the others

Disregarding Dante's awful new look, Ninja Theory is a developer that has yet to make a game even remotely in the same league as Devil May Cry gameplay wise.
Kung Fu Chaos - outright sucked
Heavenly Sword - Good cinematography but clunky gameplay that often struggled to keep things at 30 fps
Enslaved (based on the demo so far) - see Heavenly Sword (I'll be back on this after I rent the full version but that demo left me less than impressed)
They've yet to make a 30 fps action game that runs smoothly. Devil May Cry needs to stay at 60 fps to be the same beast. So far, Ninja Theory's action games have been more like God of War. While I also like God of War it fulfills a different niche in the action genre . While it excels at set pieces, spectacle, and easy satisfaction, it's combat system lacks the speed, fluidity, and depth that makes game like DMC (sans 2) and Bayonetta great. NT's games haven't even been as good as GOW, which further increases my skepticism.
I have more confidence in their ability to tell a story as to how the thing in that trailer becomes like the Dante from previous games. However, I have little confidence in their gameplay prowess

The guy on the right is chief of design/art for this game
It should also be noted the head of Ninja Theory said the following
"In Heavenly Sword I thought, "Actually, let's try and do a story." Working with Andy and everyone else, working with Weta and having people talk about story as something serious – not something throwaway like we do in games – was quite eye-opening to me," he explained.
"I still see a prejudice, actually. I still come across a lot of people who say, "it's a game and it doesn't need a story." You're trying to make a particular point of storytelling, trying to refine it, and somebody says "it's just a game, it doesn't matter." What's more important – the gameplay or the story? If you're doing a game, it's got to be the story, actually."
Honestly, I can't see why Capcom chose this developer. Like I said, nothing in their portfolio paints them as the ideal people for such a game.

Tons of power with a feature set that leaves little to be desired.
The BH500 bass amp head is the latest addition to TC Electronic's Bass Amp 2.0 lineup! Combined with the BC cabs of your choice, it stacks up to become any rig you need for small bar gigs, indoor rock clubs, outdoor stadium concerts"you name it!
The BH500 boasts razor-sharp tone-shaping tools like TubeTone emulator for tube-like sound and response, SpectraComp compression, and bass-tuned tone controls. Also, its three user memories let you change your tone at any given time. An integrated tuner lets you tune up in silence before you rock.
A conventional compressor is often dominated by the lower string, but with SpectraComp you get per-string multi-band compression that evens out across all strings. You get an even, rock-solid tone that cuts through any mix whether you play fingerstyle, with a heavy pick, or slap the strings hard.
The TubeTone effect was originally introduced on RH450. Most transistor designs try to replicate tube sound using one small preamp tube, but why not take the crucial characteristics of a full preamp and power amp into account? Both are essential to the sound when you want that classic tube warmth as well as when you go for a full-on overdriven rock sound with a massive punch!
BH500 can store three of your favorite tones. For instance, if you need a nice chunk of overdrive on specific passages, presets are king. Not to mention, with great sounding bass tones and seamless switching between them, you will be able to focus on the important thing, rocking out!
Built-in bass tuner
Every once in a while you need to tune up, and whenever that happens, just let the built-in tuner guide you. It's simple, it lets you tune silently, and it gets you back to rocking in no time.
Tone Controls and TweeterTone
EQ is always a bass essential, so the BH500 is equipped with a great-sounding 4-band EQ which is perfect for shaping your fundamental tone. Further, with two contour filters you can scoop the mid frequencies, which creates an amazing low-end punch on demand.
The tweeter control is usually located on the rear of the cabinet, but on the BH500 you can conveniently adjust the tweeter level right from the front panel. Further, the sound also gets modified slightly with filters giving you a much more intelligent control over the high frequencies that are critical for giving your sound that razor-sharp edge.
For rehearsing or jamming, you can connect your portable music player to the front-panel aux input. If you don't want to disturb the neighbors, plug in your headphones and the drivers will be muted automatically. Finally, you can send a signal to a sound engineer via the balanced XLR output (also on the front panel), or to an audio interface when you are recording.
- 4-band tone controls
- TubeTone tube emulation
- SpectraComp per-string compression
- Front-panel tweeter level control, balanced XLR out, and RCA aux in
- 3 user preset slots
- Built-in tuner
It's time to step up to Bass 2.0 with the BH500! Order now.

New Webinar: Using 'Free' As A Part Of Your Business
from the join-us! dept
Time for another webinar! This coming Wednesday, July 28th at 11am PT/2pm ET we're going to be running a webinar, sponsored by Verizon, about using "free" as a part of your business -- a topic that we obviously discuss quite a bit around here. I'm going to kick off the webinar with a brief talk about the economics of "free" and how to use it proactively for a variety of businesses (not just "entertainment" or "content"), and then we'll have two guests talking about some real world examples. First up will be Simon Morris, VP of marketing and product for BitTorrent Inc., who will talk about various business models that use "free" as a component, highlighting examples of what works and what doesn't. Then we'll have Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote, who will share a detailed case study of how Evernote does "Freemium," and what lessons they've learned in implementing a Freemium type of solution to make money. And, of course, we'll have some discussion and Q&A from attendees as well. Please note, we're using a different technology for this webinar than our past webinars. The link above may take you to a "preferences" page before the signup page. Unfortunately, I'm told there's no way we can avoid this, so click through to get to the actual signup, and we look forward to having you join us next week!

Volunteers Conduct Service
On the afternoon of Sunday, Feb-ruary
28, a joint meeting of Bethel
and Macalester Student Volunteers
was held at the Macalester Presby-terian
Church. After a program
presented by Bethel's group, lunch
was served and a period of fellow-ship
The program of the afternoon con-sisted
of a missionary message by
Floyd Richert, musical numbers by
Samuel Schultz, and devotions led
by Florence Lindstrom. Leonard
Turnquist led the meeting.
The girls of Bethel were the
guests Thursday afternoon, March
4, at the Mounds Park Nurses' home.
They were entertained in the earlier
part of the afternoon by a short,
beautifully rendered musical pro-gram,
after which they were served
refreshments. Later the girls were
divided into groups of six and seven,
and taken on an inspection tour of
the hospital.
Sophia Parfin's name was omitted
on the Junior College honor roll
printed in the last issue.

Edward Nelson and Carl Lund-quist,
Bethel debate team, won top
honors for Bethel March 13 in the
fourth annual debate tournament of
River Falls State Teachers' College,
River Falls, Wisconsin, by winning
all four debates in which they par-ticipated.
During the one-day event
Bethel debated Hamline, Macalester,
and two teams from Eau Claire State
Teachers' College, upholding the
affirmative twice and the negative
twice of the national question con-cerning
hours and wages in indus-try.
Out of the twenty teams from
the nine schools competing only
Bethel emerged with a perfect score
in all debates won. The president
of the local Pi Kappa Delta chapter
also stated that this was the first
time in the history of the tourna-ment
that any school had won its
entire four debates. Bethel and Con-cordia
were the only two junior
colleges entered in the event, the
rest being senior colleges of Minne-sota
and Wisconsin. Students who
participated in the recent North-west
Tournament at the College of
St. Thomas were excluded from
competition, thus limiting the event
to students who had not had much
tournament experience this season.
The results were announced at the
closing debate banquet in the college
dining hall Saturday evening. Lund-quist
represented the winning team
with a short after dinner speech dur-ing
the program.
Successful Season Concluded
This tournament victory conclud-ed
one of the most successful de-bate
seasons Bethel has had. The
same team won an upper rating for
Bethel in the February Red River
Valley Tournament at Moorehead,
Minn. They also defeated Concordia
and Waldorf in local conference de-bates,
although losing once to each
school on previous occasions. Aside
from these decision meets, Bethel
also competed against Hamline,
Macalester, and St. Thomas repre-sentatives.
During the year Nelson
and Lundquist won twelve debates.
and lost only three. Burnis Rogness,
Luther Seminary student, is the
coach of the squad.
Debaters Argue Question
Before College Club
Carl Lundquist and Edward Nel-son,
defending the negative side of
the national debate question, won a
victory at College Club Wednesday
evening, March 10, defeating Con-cordia
College of this city by the
decision of the single judge and
critic Mr. Osterhus, coach of debate
at Roosevelt High School, Minneap-olis.
Concordia, defending the affir-mative,
was represented by Messrs.
Brandt and Frey.

Have You Written Yours?
One of Bethel's needs is a school song. "Bethel,
Bethel, Alma Mater" no longer suffices. We desire
a song that is a true and meaningful expression of
the spirit of our school.
There has been a decided lack of interest in the
supplying of the need. Contributions have been few.
Many who have sentiments to express have not
formed them into poetry and submitted them.
Recent publicity has created enthusiasm. We hope
that a large number will be entered in the contest.
What constitutes a worthwhile school song? We
are not the judges but we believe that in the first
place it should reflect the whole school, from the
point of view of athletic, scholastic, religious, and so-cial
activity. It should have pep but not be a pep song;
it should be informal but not without dignity; it
should contain sentiment without being oversenti-mental.
To write a song that will ascribe to these con-ditions
will be difficult. However, the honor of hav-ing
one's poetry adopted as the official school song
is tempting. The same can be said of the prizes
offered by the administration.
Where Is Bethel's 'Stagline'?
Where is Bethel's Stag line? In previous years
tradition has decreed that the greater number of
the masculine members of the student body stand in
line, unmoved by the side glances of the fair sex
as they leave the building after College Club and
Alexis. Can such well grounded tradition be broken?
The observant have noticed that it is true.
It seems that either the young man slips away
hurriedly to his room to gaze at her picture in ec-stasy
or he puts on overcoat and offers his arm to
some fair coed.
It is a quite amazing yet welcome change in the
social life of Bethel.
Presenting a Need
A good course in journalism would be a very
worthwhile addition to Bethel's curriculum. In the
first :place such a course would result in a better
Clarion. Its news stories would be better written;
the entire make-up would be improved because the
staff would gain an enlarged vision of what consti-tutes
newspaper editing.
Secondly, we would learn to be more critical
readers of the daily newspapers. We would acquire
a criterion by which good journalism might be dis-tinguished
from bad. Then there are vocational val-ues.
Every College student ought to have a know-ledge
of the fundamentals of journalism. A know-ledge
of such is valuable in all fields of endeavor.
Every pastor needs journalism. It would aid him in
putting out a more attractive and accurate church
bulletin and other church literature; his reports in
the denominational papers would be more acceptable.
On the whole it would be a valuable asset to our
school program.
The Meaning of Easter
Apparently Calvary meant defeat. The Son of
God was taken by the hands of evil men and nailed
to a cross. A few weeping friends of the Master de-spaired,
and we can well imagine that the prince of
darkness rejoiced in his apparent victory.
But Calvary was followed by a glorious Easter
morning. And Easter means complete and eternal
victory for the good in the universe. The Son of
God stepped out of the grave triumphantly, a victor
over death and hades. "Behold the Lion that is of
the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath over-come,"
Rev. 5:5. All power was given to all them
that obey Him.
His discouraged disciples had left the cross with
no ray of hope in their heart. The Messiah in whom
they had hoped had died. But oh, how quickly the
scene changed when the good news flashed, "He is
not here; for He is risen, even as He said." They
could hardly believe their senses. Yet it was true.
Glorious fact of a risen Lord! This truth turned de-feat
into victory, and gloom and despair into the
joy and sunshine of heaven. After His ascension
they returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And after
the fulfillment of the Father's promise they went out
to tell a sin-sick world the good news of a crucified
and risen Lord and Savior. Unto us, too, has his
grace been given, and that is the meaning of Easter
to us, to go and tell the story of redemption to lost
men and sing the song of joy and victory to lonely
and sad hearts. Therefore, we are always of a good
courage. For He shall present us before the presence
of His glory without blemish in exceeding joy.
Prof. Adolph Olson
"With the cross of Jesus Going on Before"
"Then Jesus turned and saw them follow-ing,"
John 1:38a.
Over the door that leads from the dressing
room to the playing field of one of the country's
largest universities, a placard with the follow-ing
words is noticed—"Follow the Ball".
Winning football teams have been produced
of late at this university because these athletes
were taught a very simple rule.—"Follow the
They have fumbled many times in champ-ionship
games. They followed the ball—they
Their predecessors also fumbled as many
times. They did not realize the important mean-ing
of following the ball—they lost.
We are to be followers of the King.
"Andrew and John heard Him speak and they
followed Jesus"—it is the necessary rule for
abundant life—keep your eyes upon Jesus.
"Jesus found Philip and said—Follow me."
Where was Peter during the dark morning
hours when the Lamb of God was being led to
be tried in the palace of Caiaphas the high
priest? "Peter followed Him afar off."
Here are two fumblers in the game of life.
—Judas never did learn to keep his eyes fixed
upon Jesus. Peter later learned.
How natural it is to fumble. How victorious
it is to—Follow Christ!
Lead on, Oh King Eternal,
We follow not with fears;
The gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, 0 God of might.
John D. Lundberg
"We are not in a Monastery"
I have been challenged by several
persons to explain what I meant by
saying that here we are not in a
monastery and that to us the World-
Spirit reaches.
In the Middle Ages a man could
escape the turbulence of war and
marriage by going to a monastery.
The real problems of getting along
with men, with daily life, with
women never reached him. He could
brood and escape real humanity. A
system of externally imposed disci-pline
would assure him of the right
kind of pious exercise to save his
own soul.
Women could escape to a nunnery.
Many of them did.
But are we in a monastery? We
say "No!"
Our young men do not deny
partisanship. They wish to see
Democracy saved from either Fas-cism
or Communism. As with the
men outside, there is complete di-vision
as to Roosevelt. Some are all
for and some are all against. This
bitter and extreme attitude is sim-ilar
to the bitter and extreme atti-tude
outside. Is that like a monas-tery?
We have a few apologists for the
so-called scientific attitude. We have
others who see faith as the best
basis for life. Others are indiffer-entists.
It is the same with the
world outside.
On some occasions race hatred
rears its ugly head. Does it outside?
I know there is race prejudice here
for I have heard it expressed.
Conversations and activity indi-cate
that even here young men and
young women have very human
hopes and plans.
We are not in a monastery! The
World-Spirit reaches us.
And we are going out into a world
that has a prevailing World-Spirit.
As we grapple with the problems
of the modern world and modern
life we are in peril of losing all bal-ance
and becoming violently "pro"
or "anti". Extremeness is in keeping
with present World-Spirit. Balance
is not a part of that Spirit. We easily
drift into an attitude of taking either
the New Masses or the Saturday
Evening Post as being the genuine
torch-bearers for the real truth.
Some of us can be just as opin-ionated
without reading anything.
We can be just as bitter.
We cannot afford to have a leader-ship
that is so lazy and careless.
This is a plea to grapple with the
problems of the modern world in an
intelligent manner. We cannot help
being biased but we can combat
bias with intelligence. We offer our-selves
for leadership, but if our
leadership is prejudice, untelligent,
unreasoning, unreasonable, bigoted,
unwilling-to-see-the-other-side pre-judice,
then we are real enemies of
the truth and when intelligent lead-ership
is required it is best to hold
our peace.
We are not in a monastery, we are
here preparing to go out into a real
world with real problems and as
individuals we have to face the
World-Spirit and we are not going
to overcome if we permit to be
overcome by all that the World-
Spirit means.

A new, modern church
biulding in Isle, Minnesota, is
nearing completion; the cor-nerstone
was laid February
14. The united support of the
local church and the fellow
Swedish Baptist churches
throughout Minnesota has been
"above expectations", accord-ing
to the pastor, Maurice Law-son.
Mr. Lawson of Meridan, Con-necticut
was asked to assume
pastoral responsibilities at Isle
in January, 1936, following an
evangelistic campaign that he
with his co-worker, Clifford
Dickau, conducted there dur-ing
the Thanksgiving vacation.
Having worked for the Gen-eral
Motors Corporation a number
of years, and having supplemented
his high school education with one
year's training at the Atlantic Un-ion
College at Lancaster, Massa-chusetts,
Mr. Lawson enrolled in
Bethel Junior College a year ago
last fall. He considers pastoral du-ties
as a "very valuable and blessed
experience" while attending school.
With an average attendance of
seventy-five or more the pressing
need for a new building culminated
in the formulation of definite plans
for the erection of a new struc-ture
on the adjoining lot last fall.
The construction of a new modern
church building, adapted for the
Sunday School, is nearing comple-tion
under the supervision of John
Lindgren of the Elim Baptist
Church of Minneapolis. The esti-mated
cost is fifty two hundred
dollars. Since February 14 the
services have been held in the new
building; Rev. Axel Anderson,
state missionary, conducted an
evangelistic campaign the week
following. Plans are being made
for the dedication of the new
church in June.

Her roommate: No, I didn't, but
that is certainly thoughtful of you.
Patron: Look here! I ordered
chicken salad and there isn't a piece
of chicken in it.
Applequist: That's being consist-ent,
sir; we have cottage cheese but
as far as I know there isn't a cottage
in it.
Prof. Wingblade was assigning
topics for extemporaneous talks:—
and will you please take "Poison",
Miss McMillan?
Little girl: Mother, when I grow
up will I have a husband like
I don't know, dear; very probably.
And if I don't get married will I
be an old maid like Aunt Mary?
Mother, it's a pretty tough world
for us women, isn't it?
Which reminds me—Elsie J. says:
"No, I'm not an old maid, just an
unclaimed blessing."
A young couple was talking things
over a short time before the wed-ding:
"There's one thing I've never told
you" said the young lady, "and that
is that I'm a somnambulist".
"Oh, that's all right," he said,
"after we're married you can go to
your church and I'll go to mine."

Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, and State Sen. George Maziarz, R-C-I-Newfane, met this week with Gil Quiniones, president and CEO of the New York Power Authority. Ceretto, Maziarz and Quiniones discussed ways NYPA can better serve Western New York, including keeping NYPA revenues generated at the Robert Moses hydroelectric power station local; providing greater, low-cost electric services to the region; and improving tourism to the power station.
"Today's meeting with Gil Quiniones and Sen. Maziarz was very productive. They are valuable partners for improving Western New York's economy. NYPA is critical to the people of our region, so it is very important that we look for ways to maximize its benefits for Western New Yorkers," Ceretto said. "We are always looking for ways to improve the lives of the people that we serve. I am very thankful to have Gil Quiniones and Sen. Maziarz as allies in that mission."
NYPA was commissioned to build the Robert Moses hydroelectric power station in 1957 after the collapse of the Schoellkopf Power Station the previous year. Upon completion in 1961, the Robert Moses hydroelectric power station has provided low-cost power to New York and been a major economic force in Western New York.
Ceretto and Maziarz helped bring low-cost power back to Western New York by passing the Power Proceeds Bill in 2011. They said there has been some progress in the past three years with NYPA, but there is still work to be done. Ceretto will continue to meet with Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Quiniones, and other leaders to create jobs and bolster economic development in Western New York.

For those who don't know, Mr. California is the most ultraviolent superstar in Southern California today(he has the scars on his back to prove it) who takes no shit from no one. The Hardcore Enforcer is not afraid of anyone, not even PWG! For anyone who remembers, Mr California was on the Pimpin' In High Places DVD as a guest along with New Jack. Well, not really, it was just Excalibur. Although Mr California does exist!

At this point, my hair is as blonde as it can go. I've bleached it to the point of no return a few months ago and it's been maintenance, maintenance, maintenance since then. I'd love to show you some recent, hot pics of my hair, but for the most part, the only documentation of my current look is a large collection of drunk bathroom selfies.
Basic maintenance = bleach virgin hair before the roots get "ugly" (personal preference I personally like to let mine grow a bit). sometimes I have to bleach twice. then tone all over (wella t-18 or t-14 for me)
I've actually been experimenting with a bleach bath and I basically add shampoo to my bleach and developer and just rub it on my head like shampoo until everything is covered followed by a rinse and normal toner process. I know I'm not supposed to bleach the roots AND the already bleached hair, but the bath was faster. I mean way faster. But I do think overlapping causes some breakage, so I'll only do that again if I really need a quick hair fix.
Bonus: My light hair is fantastic for chalking. Totally late to the chalking game, but I can have purple hair for one day and blue the next so it's swell.
