Medically Approved Models for Healthcare Professionals:
Essential for assessing the risk of developing obesity-related medical conditions, Tanita Body Composition Analysers can also be used preventatively, educating patients about the importance of maintaining healthy fat levels for life-long good health.
Tanita Body Composition Analysers help patients to understand what is going on inside their bodies by categorising weight into muscle mass, water and body fat. This knowledge can help patients with weight-related problems make better-informed decisions about their behaviour. It helps them to see the effectiveness of their treatment programme - especially relevant if obesity-related medication is part of the programme. Tanita's detailed results and accurate reporting will also improve patient compliance, improving health outcomes.
Non medically approved versions:
These are ideal for use by fitness instructors, private dieticians , gyms and health clubs. Also all areas unrelated to the national and private heathcare sectors. Offer client sthe oppotunity to measure their success by many other results rather than just weight, adding the GMON software shows clients improvements and results, this helps in client happiness and more importantly client retention.

Why is Tanita bio technology the most accurate and reliable?
Prediction equations - The original prediction equations built into Tanitas software were derived by Professor research team at St Lukes/Roosevelt Hospital, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York.
Extensive research has shown that the accurate prediction of an individuals body composition can only be determined if a range of additional parameters are included in the algorithm, such as gender, age and height, along with weight and impedance data.
Tanita uses these additional parameters to sub-divide overall populations into smaller groups so that individuals can be compared with a high degree of accuracy to the results obtained with the gold standards - Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and Under Water Weighing (UWW).
Scientific Excellence - Tanita BIA Monitors have been more extensively validated against alternative body composition techniques than any other company. The results are in the published international medical journals. In addition, our monitors have been used in hundreds of independent research studies worldwide, highlighting Tanita as the BIA gold standard within the scientific community. The Tanita Medical Advisory Board members ensure Tanita remains at the forefront of scientific advances.
Proactive in Preventative Healthcare - Tanita has continually invested in research projects that focus on preventing obesity in children. Together with Prof McCarthy et al, the world's first child centiles for body fat and muscle mass were developed. This data is now available for healthcare professionals to use in their daily assessments.
Precision Weighing mechanism - precision weight measurements are essential to the accuracy of body composition measurements. Tanita prides itself on manufacturing highly accurate weighing mechanisms in both home use and professional models. All Medically Approved professional monitors have been awarded NAWI Certification, MDD III and CE Approval ensuring the highest standards are met.
Robust Construction - Tanita has grown through continuous product innovation and a strong commitment to high manufacturing quality standards. We operate award-winning manufacturing facilities in Japan and China and guarantee the highest quality products. All of our medical products meet strict international quality standards and are independently quality-controlled. Tanita professional scales and analysers are calibrated for up to 300,000 uses.

A letter in the May 15 Tomahawk Leader
I would like to thank the City Council for their consideration and foresight in allowing a provision in the Junk Car Ordinance that will let the serious car restorer utilize a parts car in their process. A special thank you to Rejeana (Ebert) for the concern and effort she invested in the process.
The parts car is to the restorer what paints are to the artist, sheet music to the musician, and so forth. There are no parts stores that supply a large number of the parts for 30's, 40's and 50's automobiles that are needed to give you the results that are seen on our Main Street Memories weekend. As car shows have proved to be very popular and well received throughout the state and across the country, I believe that being collector-car friendly will only enhance our Memorial Day show and our standing with the dedicated individuals that invest their time and money in creating these show pieces.
A little bit over-the-hill car buff,
Victor H. Cottrell
Kept car buff in mind …

AC synchronous motor
At the heart of the DriveIT Direct Drive Solution is a low-base-speed permanent magnet AC motor designed for industrial applications that require high torque at low speeds. The AC synchronous permanent magnet motor won't experience rotor slip; the elimination of slip losses can increase efficiency from 1% to 3%. The permanent magnets in the motor create a constant flux in the air gap that eliminates the need for rotor windings or brushes normally used for excitation in synchronous motors. The motor has a power range from 22 hp to 670 hp and base speeds from 220 rpm to 600 rpm.

Adjustable speed generator
The onboard power electronics in the OptiGen adjustable speed generator automatically adjusts the engine speed up or down while monitoring the electrical power consumed and maintains constant voltage and frequency output during all load conditions. If the load requirement is less than the rated output of the generator, it automatically reduces the engine RPM while still maintaining the desired output frequency. The adjustable speed generator is designed to provide as much as 250% rated power for electric motor starting. An optional UPS module allows for instantaneous switchover when power transfer time is critical.

Choosing a Food Utility Cart Guide: Utility Cart With Drawers
When it comes to utility carts, every manufacturer has something new to offer with a sweet story to it. But don't get carried away by all the sweet talk since some of these products don't perform as advertised.
What you need is a utility cart that has the right storage components, weight capacity, construction material, and comfort level; without forgetting durability and ease of movement. Still stuck on your search? Feel free to explore our list of the best utility carts and maybe you can get what you're looking for.1) Winsome Wood Utility Cart | 2) Mind Reader ' Charm' 3 Tier Wood Metal Utility/ Bar Cart | 3) Seville Classics Utility Cart | 4) Luxor Multipurpose Three Shelves Utility Cart | 5) Finnhomy 3Drawer Rolling Cart | 6) Folding Shopping Cart | 7) Finnhomy 6Drawer Rolling Cart Organizer | 8) Vollrath (97121) 30-7/8" Utility Cart | 9) Gorilla Carts Steel Utility Cart | 10) Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Steel Utility Cart | 11) Mac Sports Collapsible Folding Outdoor Utility Wagon | 12) Erie Tools Steel Flatbed Garden Cart | 13) Luxor 32" x 18" Tub Storage Cart | 14) Finnhomy Garden Service Cart | 15) Tyke Supply Stair Climber Aluminum Hand Truck | 16) Luxor 3 Shelf Utility Cart | 17) Luxor 32" x 18" Tub Storage Cart | 18) U.S. General 16" x 30" Service Cart | 19) Whitmor Deluxe Utility Cart | 20) Finnhomy 3 Tier Heavy Duty Utility Cart | 21) LCL Beauty White All Purpose Roller Trolley | 22) Altra Marshall Rolling Utility Cart | 23) YIMU 3 Tier Mesh Wire Rolling File Cart | 24) Honey-Can-Do CRT-04050 Rolling Media Cart | 25) Mac Sports Folding Green Wagon | 26) Polar Trailer 8233 HD 1500 Heavy Duty Utility | 27) Sandusky FSC3012 Folding Shopping Cart |
- Brakes: Some service carts come with casters that have brakes, some don't. If you won't be using your cart in a place where brakes are necessary, then this isn't something you will need to consider. If, however, you are planning to use a cart in areas where floors are not flat, where securing the cart is necessary, consider a cart with one or more locking casters.
- Swivel vs. Fixed: Depending on your application, one or the other (or a combination of both) might be best. If you will use the cart for bussing tables in the dining room and need maximum maneuverability, swivel casters may be best. If you will use it for transporting products up and down straight aisles, two or four fixed casters will help keep the cart steady.
- Non-Marking: Also called non-marring, or no-mark, non-marking cart casters won't leave tracks on your hard floors. If your establishment is mainly carpet or industrial space, you may not need to worry about non-marking casters, but if you have hard tile, wood, or linoleum floors, non-marking casters will help prevent damage.
- Bumpers: Though they look like small rubber donuts, bumpers come with some carts—mounted on the uprights just above the casters—to help protect walls, doors, and furniture. If you use swing doors in your kitchen or walk-in refrigeration, or use your cart in public areas where scuffs would be unsightly, bumpers help to prevent surfaces from coming into contact with the casters or corners of the cart.
Utility and bussing carts take up a lot of valuable space to store—space that you could be using for storing consumables, disposable supplies, restaurant high chairs, or other essentials. If you want to free up some storage space, we offer standard-duty folding utility carts that offer many of the same features as our regular carts but also have folding frames for convenient storage.
These carts also fold up small enough that they can be transported with ease to and from catering events to help you transport heavy chafers, insulated food carriers, and loaded food pans.
Assembly Required?
The two words "assembly required" may bring up traumatic memories for some, but our utility carts that come knocked down are actually quite easy to put together. When you consider the benefits of purchasing unassembled food service carts, it may alleviate your fears.
Shipping unassembled saves money in the long run by reducing the cost of shipping, so if your business is on a tight budget, that may be the way for you to go. Be sure to check out our helpful assembly video below to see how simple it can be to put together a brand new Regency utility cart!
If you don't want to put in the extra effort to assemble a cart, we also offer many carts that come fully assembled, with the exception of the casters, which will need to be installed before use. Shipping assembled saves effort and provides maximum convenience. Though assembled carts may cost more originally and definitely come with higher shipping costs, it may be worth it if you want to start using your cart right out of the box.

Planetwalker: How to Change Your World One Step at a Time by John Francis
Earthlight: Spiritual Wisdom for an Ecological Age by Cindy Spring and Anthony Manousos, Eds.
Our Bodies, Ourselves: Menopause by The Boston Women's Health Book Collective
Black Gold filmed, directed, and produced by Marc and Nick Francis
I would see him almost every day, a large man with a long rolling gait, pushing a jogging stroller along the road near our home. It was a stride that you noticed for some reason, a kind of purposeful amble, the walk of a man who knew where he was going–or perhaps, why he was going–and in his own sweet time, thank you.
We had just moved out here to the Northern California coast. I didn't know that this was John Francis, and that these daily walks to town with his new son Sam were the latest leg of something that had begun more than three decades before. John had witnessed a massive oil spill in San Francisco Bay. Sea birds had died in his hands when he tried to rescue them from the ooze.
He decided then to forsake motorized transportation. Not long after that, to quiet the contentious voices inside and out, he had sworn off talking too.
John kept his silence for 17 years. During that time he walked across the U.S. and much of South America; along the way he managed to get undergraduate and graduate degrees in environmental science. The Coast Guard hired him to write new oil spill regulations in the wake of the Exxon Valdez. One thing led to another, and he ended up back here in West Marin, where it all had started back in the late 1960s.
John is a friend now. Our sons are friends too. We chat often when we pick them up at pre-school, and at other times around town. I think that's part of why I did not get around to reading John's memoir, Planetwalker, until now. I knew John, and I had heard the story. Or so I thought.
What I didn't know—one of many things, it turns out—is that John can write like this. Planetwalker has a limpid grace that is as quiet as the watercolors (his) that accompany the text. The voice is honest and without guile. There is a rightness to almost every word, a just-so quality. The images are not contrived, but seem to grow up out of the story itself.
"In the early years, when my silence was new, I seemed to have a palpable need to revisit my decision. It was virgin territory, this silent landscape, a narrow path through a ragged bramble. It twisted and turned uneasily up, down, and around in surprise and loneliness. I ached with old muscles unused and the growth of new ones. Words piled onto me. The later years have become more comforting, and silence more familiar, with watercolor views to everywhere. Meaning is rooted in action and lives, movement, the passing of clouds, the clarity of eyes."
Planetwalker has been described as a social statement, which it is. But it is something more basic first—a journal of experience, told in a voice that has broken free to a remarkable degree from the noise and self-talk that besets us all.
I often have wondered what would happen to a mind that forsook the outlet (indulgence?) of spoken expression. Like John, I once harbored thoughts of joining a religious order to cleanse myself and still the anger that was running riot in my head. I imagined that the self-talk would increase, like repressed sexual energy in the Freudian model.
Instead, it seems that the opposite occurred. Knowing that he was not going to respond verbally, John gradually ceased to stew over his own verbal responses. Instead of listening out of half of one ear the way most of us do while we formulate our brilliant rejoinders, John learned to listen.
Planetwalker is a listener's journal. The "I" is minimal; the interest more on the unfolding scene than on the "me" who is engaged in it. At one point, early on, John is stopped by two men in a pick-up truck. They do not appreciate his presence in their parts, and their form of address–"Boy"–tells us why.
"I am thinking that maybe these guys are lost, and the thought is amusing. In fact I know that they are not lost. We all are where we are meant to be. I know this from the very core of my being as the driver's right hand comes from beneath his seat, revealing the dark gunmetal of a .44 revolver, the barrel of which he places against my head. In this moment of crystal clarity I recognize the face of death. He is like an old friend I had forgotten, but who is always there."
We know already how it's going to come out. John is here to tell the story. Still the scene is chilling, all the more because the account is so spare. John's silence gives it a dreamlike quality and makes him more vulnerable, like a man with no arms. The episode bristles with racial tension. But John doesn't name it. He conveys instead of saying, and in doing so, he reaches a place in us that speeches can't.
John is not given to speeches. He has strong views, but is chary with opinions. He tends rather to deflect them and turn the conversation in an unexpected direction. This is partly I think from a mischievous streak. He likes to keep people just a little bit off balance. But more, he feels instinctively uncomfortable with a comfortable opinion. And he likes to keep his options open. Who knows what might turn up at the next turn of the road?
I asked John once what his walking and silence had accomplished. He said that, among other things, other people had to make changes in order to accommodate him. If someone invited John for dinner, for example, they probably would have to invite him to spend the night as well. That one night might turn into two or three. Meetings had to be arranged far in advance; it would take a couple of days just to get to San Francisco. When you dealt with John, your time slowed down to his.
To communicate was not a casual matter. There were mime, notes scribbled on scraps of paper, the banjo John played as he walked for hours on end. Telephones were not much use. I didn't ask about this specifically, but I suspect that letters loomed large. That is not the worst thing.
John did not leave people where he found them. Even the paramedic in the ambulance that picked him up after a bicycle accident in Washington, D.C., had to deal with his insistence on walking to the hospital. "Well, honey," she said, "if you would just suspend your principles for five minutes, we can drive your butt to the hospital." She was mocking, but she will remember that encounter. Who knows where that memory might lead?
This is John's theory of social change. Don't lecture people. Change yourself and you will start to change the world. He himself is not a joiner. The one organization he is active in out here to my knowledge is not environmental. It is the local Lion's Club. His starting point for saving the environment—this is the one thing he says over and over—is to treat other people well.
John talks now, in a soft and gentle way, an echo perhaps of his father's native Antigua by way of West Philadelphia. There is still the quiet that surrounds him, the listening, the offbeat and unexpected response. John does not so much tell you when you are wrong as enable you to hear it for yourself. You find your voice slowing down a bit, your mental stride getting into synch with his.
Planetwalker has this same effect. It is the antidote to the smarmy self-dramatization that has defined the memoir in recent years. The story is going to reach a wide audience, it appears. A Hollywood producer has optioned the movie rights. Variety reported recently that a prominent scriptwriter is on the job. The names of well-known actors have come up.
This leaves me conflicted to say the least. I am happy for John and the platform this will give him. But Hollywood? The story is all minor notes where the big screen wants major ones. It is about small things made big by the eyes that see them—the spaces between, where the silence is. Can someone in that land of brag and pitch —or anywhere else—write a screenplay about not talking?
John is not concerned. He'll be walking regardless. In the end, Planetwalker is a book of trust. We trust John's voice, and he trusts the road to take him where he needs to go. "Something will come up," he likes to say. "It always does."

Excerpt from Planetwalker ::
I am surprised at the arguments that my giving up driving and riding in cars has caused in the community. Even though many people talk about wanting not to ride in cars because of the oil spill, everyone still does. ... In some instances I am told, "The reason you're doing this is just to make the rest of us feel bad." Granted, there is some truth to this. I naively expect at least part of the community to park their cars and pickups and, like the Pied Piper's children, walk off with me into an environmental utopia. This does not happen. However, the chief criticism the community has is put in the words of a close friend. "John," she says. "You are just crazy. One person walking is not going to make a difference in reducing air pollution or oil spills. In fact, it's just going to mean more gasoline for everyone else." The comment gives me pause. Maybe I am crazy. How can one person make a difference?
"How shall the heart be reconciled to its feast of losses?" K. Lauren DeBoer invokes this question by Stanley Kunitz to introduce this beautiful collection of essays, interviews, and poems about spiritual ecology, all originally published in the Quaker magazine, Earthlight.
How shall the heart be reconciled to the loss of the giant sequoias? DeBoer asks. The buffalo? Our 20,000 fellow species that are gone for good?
How, indeed. The authors featured here have all plumbed the deep sorrow of our "ecological age," as well as the joyful abundance and mystery of our world. Each guides readers down a different path to a tender, if bittersweet, spiritual relationship with the Earth.
Susan Tweit writes of "Picking Up Roadkill" as a spiritual practice. Joanna Macy describes the process she calls "The Great Turning," through which "we begin to see the world as our body, and (whether we say the word or not) as sacred." In discussing the Great Work that humans must undertake to live in harmony with the earth, Thomas Berry writes, "Humans, more than any other living form, invent themselves." The unspoken question of this anthology is this: can we reinvent ourselves in time?

The Boston Women's Health Book Collective has had an incredible influence on the lives of women throughout the world. I still vividly remember, as a young feminist coming of age in the 1960s, how exciting it was to have information about our bodies that we could finally trust. Our Bodies, Ourselves was written by women for women and, for those patriarchal times, this was truly revolutionary.
Now, we baby-boomer women are encountering another life stage, and with it, new questions and health needs. We want to be healthy, sexy,
This well-researched and well-organized book debunks the endless myths of menopause and aging by providing the medical, emotional, psychological, and societal context of the menopause journey. In our youth-obsessed society, menopause is still far too frequently viewed negatively. This book challenges that view by demonstrating that menopause is a normal and positive part of a woman's life, a catalyst for a new source of female power, and a healthy transition that leads to the emergence of a completely evolved and unique woman with a treasure of accumulated wisdom.
While keeping the focus on the positive, the book does not overlook women's concerns about aging and our vulnerabilities—will we become invisible and devalued "old bags" with aging skin, weak muscles, sagging breasts, dry vaginas, facial hair, constant hot flashes, decreased sexual desire and desirability, and limited mental capacity? These concerns are tackled openly with up-to-date and concise information.
With a friendly and empathetic tone, the book includes a diverse array of candid first-person menopause stories. The varied cultural and spiritual beliefs of menopause are addressed. For example, while white women tend to perceive menopause as more of a medical problem, "African-American women are more likely to view the cessation of menstruation as a relief.
By openly and positively addressing women's concerns about menopause, this book prepares us to become better advocates for our lives and our health during this life-changing transition.
Beyond simply empowering individual women, Our Bodies, Ourselves: Menopause adheres to the feminist adage that "the personal is political." The book's final chapter, "Knowledge is Power," is a call to action that documents the growing number of women in the United States who are experiencing or about to enter menopause. As our numbers continue to grow, we can become a powerful force to advocate for political and societal changes that will support women's natural evolution through all stages of life.

In the opening scene of Black Gold, a documentary by British brothers Marc and Nick Francis, the camera pans a cavernous warehouse, where row upon row of burlap sacks of coffee beans are piled on palettes receding into an indefinite gloom. The sacks have accumulated in the Coffee Export Processing Center in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, because the price of coffee on the international market has fallen to a 30-year low, the result of the 1989 collapse of the International Coffee Agreement that once regulated price.
The Francis brothers explore the complex impacts and dynamics of this problem by oscillating between a close-up story of the plight of individual farmers, who receive just a few cents of profit from each pound of coffee sold, to an overview of the international coffee trade and culture.
The constant that unites these two disparate worlds is Tedesse Meskela, an Ethiopian businessman who moves skillfully between the coffee farmers' cooperative union and the international trade shows where he peddles their Fair Trade product. His passion for his country's high-quality coffee is rivaled only by his deep concern for the well-being of impoverished farmers who grow it.
By following these diverse aspects of the coffee trade, the web of global economics that binds us becomes indelible. Memorable images include the contrast between the New Yorker poised in a doorway to slurp an expensive Starbucks concoction and the painfully thin child turned away from an Ethiopian feeding clinic because stretched resources necessitate a heart-rending triage: the child is malnourished, but not severely enough to receive help.
While the Francis brothers present a stark contrast between the conditions of coffee producers and Western consumers, they do so without overt editorializing. However, viewers should not mistake the filmmakers' restraint for lack of passion. It is through the patient accretion of detail that the grotesque imbalance of the coffee trade, as well as the possibility for change, comes home.

andmore importantlyof the fact that there are no 'good' or 'bad'
people; there are just causes and conditions that, in certain circumstances,
lead us to do horrible things to others and ourselves, and in other
instances, enable us to awaken to our true nature of interbeing
and oneness with all life, our capacity for loving kindness, wisdom,
and compassion.
You have my
undivided support and encouragement in your valiant efforts to seek
justice and mercy for this noble and inspiring Dharma practitioner
and teacher who, if freed from bondage, could bring great healing
to those who, raised amid deprivation, violence, and abuse, have
internalized that violence in themselves.
May our benighted
country awaken to its true self, abolish the death penalty, and
free Jarvis Masters!
Hampton, VA
Recently I picked
up 'Finding Freedom' at a local bookshop, and I found it to be possibly
the most profoundly moving and inspirational book I have ever read.
Having spent the majority of my life drifting with no clear direction,
since reading Jarvis's book I have decided to return to study. After
all, if Jarvis can achieve peace, balance and harmony in the Hell
of San Quentin, surely I can earn a University degree!
The compassion and sensitivity that Jarvis has developed far outstrips
that of many people from more 'privileged' backgrounds. I am in
awe of this man who has been able to make such positive and life-affirming
changes. The fact that these changes have taken place in such an
inhospitable environment as Death Row is testament to the incredible
intelligence, strength and will that Jarvis possesses.
I have always had mixed feelings with regards to the death penalty,
but 'Finding Freedom' has certainly provided me food for thought.
What on earth could possibly be gained by killing Jarvis Jay Masters?
This is a well read, well spoken individual who, against odds incomprehensible
to most of us, has completely altered his actions, thoughts and
I wish to add my voice to all the others who support and encourage
Melbourne, Australia
just discovered the web page for Jarvis and am relieved and grateful
for his advocates. I am a teacher in Chicago who is using "Finding
Freedom" in my English classes and have seen the lives of my students
transformed because of his powerful message. I was looking for a
way to contribute money to Jarvis's appeal campaign and have found
it. Thank you.
Teacher in
It's a shame
that a country like the USA has still the death penalty. Many Americans
think that their country is the home of freedom and justice, but
if you know the situation in American prisons, it seems absolutely
It's a shame that a man wants to become president of the USA who
is responsible for the most executions in his country. For me, as
European, I can't believe that a so called civilized" people like
the Americans agree with the death penalty.
Death penalty
is murder!

Upgrade proposed for stork's status
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to upgrade the status of the country's breeding population of wood storks from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The proposal follows a comprehensive review, conducted by Service biologists, of the best available scientific and commercial information about the species' status.
"The proposed reclassification of the wood stork demonstrates that the Endangered Species Act works," said Dan Ashe, Director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "This is a good day for the wood stork, and a good day for conservation. Thanks to great efforts from our conservation partners, the species is making real progress toward recovery."
The wood stork is the only true species of stork nesting in the United States. Since its original ESA listing as endangered in 1984, the breeding population has shown substantial improvement in the numbers of nesting pairs as a whole and the expansion of its breeding range.

Pizza Obsessives: David M. Cavanagh (aka 'dmcavanagh')
Slice interviews with folks who are mad about pizza.
Name: David M. Cavanagh
Location: Voorheesville, New York (suburb of Albany)
You're all over the comments here on Slice and in SE Talk, talking about making pizza at home. What recipes do you use? What types of pizzas do you make?
I make a thin, light pizza, a bit thinner than New York–style and a bit crisper. I have pretty much gone to sourdough crust exclusively, so any recipe I include can only be made with a sourdough starter. My starter has the consistency of a loose batter, so it is easy to work with. This won't be for everyone, but it's worth the effort.
Ah. I sense you're about to share the recipe, David. I'm going to politely divert you for now and come back to it at the end of this Q&A. First, we'd like to know .... did you trick out your oven at all? What's your rig like?
I have a Williams-Somona pizza stone, which I always preheat to 500°F for at least an hour before cooking. I will sometimes use a pizza screen, especially on my 18-inch pies.
How do your family and friends react?
My kids are pizza lovers; daughter Michelle is a white pizza lover, and my son, A. J., likes a plain cheese or an occasional buffalo chicken pizza with pepper jack cheese. Sometimes when friends come over I'll change it up and make calzones.
What type of pizza do you prefer?
I like a thin, crispy crust and traditional sauce and mozzarella finished with fresh basil as soon as it comes out of the oven. If I want a change of pace I'll usually go with smoked mozz (I smoke my own), roasted red peppers and sweet sausage or sopressata.
The Pizza Cognition Theory states that "the first slice of pizza a child sees and tastes ... becomes, for him, pizza." Do you remember your first slice? Where was it from, is the place still around, and if so, does it hold up? On that note, has your taste in pizza evolved over time?
The first pizza I can remember was New York–style from a place called Molly's in downtown Albany. It's long gone, but I still consider it the best pizza I ever ate.
What's your favorite topping or topping combination?
Favorite is probably just simple sauce, mozz and fresh basil. Roasted red peppers and sausage would be next favorite. I don't stray far from these.
Where do you go for pizza in your area? ... That is, if you go out for it at all.
Most of my pizza-eating is done at home, but if I go out, I like the Orchard Tavern in Albany, New York (68 N. Manning Boulevard, Albany NY 12206; map). They make a small square bready pizza, completely unlike my own, so it's a nice change of pace.
What's most important to you: crust, sauce, or cheese?
Crust is the foundation. If the crust isn't good, the pizza won't be good.
Anything you'd like to get off your chest?
Well, you already know how I feel about "char," so the only other thing I'll say is that people should get over the hang-up about making their own dough. It's easy—flour, water, salt, and yeast. Learn what to do with them and anyone can make a great dough and enjoy pizza at home whenever the mood strikes.
What one thing should NEVER go on a pizza?
A salad. @dhorst, are you listening? :-)
Weirdest pizza you've ever eaten?
I don't eat weird pizzas, so I really can't think of one.
What's the farthest you've traveled for pizza?
Well, whenever I'm in NYC, I eat pizza, so I guess I'll say 150 miles because that's the distance to NYC.
Now is the time I get lazy and ask you to self-interrogate. So, if you have anything else you'd like to include, feel free to make up a question or questions to ask yourself. Or just riff ...
A note about starting a sourdough culture: Look up Debra Wink's "pineapple solution." [I'll look it up for the folks playing along at home: The Pineapple Juice Solution, Part 1 —The Mgmt.] All you need to know to easily start your own sourdough. I promise it's simple. Two great pizza resources are Peter Reinhart's books American Pie and The Bread Baker's Appretice and Jeff Varasano's NYC pizza dough recipe.
Thanks for being such a good sport, David. It's been fun. Now, what about that recipe you were going to give us?
dmcavanagh's Sourdough Pizza Dough Recipe
- makes dough for 2 extra-large, thin-crust pizzas -
- 1/2 cup (125 grams) sourdough starter
- 1 1/4 cup (285 grams) cool water (I use bottled spring water of tap water which has been filtered in a Brita pitcher)
- 4 cups (480 grams) flour (bread or high gluten such as KA Sir Lancelot)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (12 grams) sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon instant yeast (optional but very helpfull)
1. Bring all of ingredients together to form a rough dough, cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
2. Knead well. I use a KA mixer with dough hook and knead for 8-10 minutes. Be sure that the dough is being worked around the bowl, not stuck to hook. Dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but not wet.
3. Divide into 2 equal balls (app. 460 grams @)
4. Place in lightly oiled plastic containers, cover and leave at room temp for 30 minutes
5. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 3 to 4 days. Take out about 2 hours before you plan to make pizza.

Lawn mower racing picks up speed in SE Missouri
The sight of competitive driving on a dirt track is something that can be found in many locations nationwide on a summer Saturday night. Stock cars, sprints and open-wheeled modifieds are routinely put to the test by drivers who thrill the crowd in their quest for the checkered flag.
In Patton, Mo., races are presented by the local Lions Club every other Saturday on a track at the Patton Saddle Club, but don't expect to find stock cars or sprints. The races involve souped-up riding lawn mowers sanctioned by the Southeast Missouri Lawnmower Racing Association, The Southeast Missourian reports.
"I've got about $500 invested in my lawn mower," said Justin Franks, a racer from Fredericktown, Mo. "I've been racing for about a year. I've been able to place, but I haven't come in first yet."
Franks and nearly 25 other competitors from places including Jackson, Delta and Perryville, Mo., raced their lawn mowers at the club on recent Saturday. Some drivers, like Franks, rode atop a lawn mower with a 12.5 horsepower engine, while others were a bit more powerful.
"I've got a 16 horsepower motor," said Eric Hoxworth, who in the early races won a heat in his class. "I've got at least $900 invested in my lawn mower."
Spending money on a lawn mower is a given if a driver wants it to be competitive. To give the local drivers something to aim for, the L and M Racing Team from Clay County, Ark., made an appearance at the club to drive in exhibition races.
"My lawn mower is between 85 to 90 horsepower," said John Loveless, a member of L and M Racing. "It can also reach between 80 to 90 miles per hour."
The racers drove their lawn mowers in an adult class, divided into three speed categories based on performance in time trials, and a youth class. The racers competed not for prize money, but for simple plaques given to first- through fourth-place finishers.
Kenny Hoxworth, an official with the Southeast Missouri Lawn mower Racing Association, said the association is looking for a permanent place to race in Patton.
"This is our first season here," Kenny Hoxworth said, "and we'd like to make the Saddle Club our home. The Patton Lions Club is treating us real good, and we like it that we're giving people something to come out and see."
John Preston, president of the Patton Lions Club, said he likes having the lawn mower races in his hometown.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for the people of Bollinger County to come out on a Saturday night," Preston said. "People love it, and it's a perfect place to bring their kids."
Preston also said he believes lawn mower racing will continue in Patton for the long run.
"I believe this is home for lawn mower racing," he said. "The Lions Club is happy and so is the racing association. The community is excited, too."
The next lawn mower races at the Patton Saddle Club are scheduled for July 20. The racing season is expected to run through Oct. 26.

Last week, the public heard the voice of Elizabeth Smart for the first time. She spoke to reporters after the guilty verdict in the case of the man who abducted and raped her daily when she was just 14 years old, holding her for nine months. And the special meaning of being able to speak to a wider audience was not lost on the 23-year-old, who said:
I'm so thrilled to stand before the people of America today and give hope to other victims, who have not spoken out about their crimes, about what's happened to them...We can speak out, and we will be heard.The guilty verdict was credited in large part to Smart's willingness to take the stand and testify in court, a highly specialized form of public speech, and a high-pressure situation. There's no video of her testimony, but the Salt Lake Tribune produced its own transcript of Elizabeth Smart's testimony so you can read her spoken words, which contain a great deal of graphic language and description.
Her story's being told as one of redemption, and as an empowering example to others who've been abused. Her father told CNN Elizabeth is thinking of a career as a prosecutor -- certainly one that will involve speaking--so she can help other victims. The difficulty of telling her story, and the high contrasts between her long periods of silence, her testimony and last week's public statements, make this young woman already experienced in some of public speaking's greatest challenges. The NBC News video above gives you a taste of her poise and confident style. What are your reactions? Share them in the comments

Red Cross Pleads for Blood;
Asian Flu Decreases Donors
"We are in urgent need of blood" is the latest announcement from
the St. Paul Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Asian flu has greatly reduced the number of blood donors and
caused cancellations of bloodmobile visits at Bethel, St. Thomas, Ham-line,
and Macalester.
DR. VERNON SOMMERDORF, school physician, said that he does
not feel that the donation of one pint of blood will weaken resistance
to Asian flu. Those who have had the flu and have fully recovered
will be accepted as donors.
STUDENTS and faculty members are urged to make appoint-ments
at the Blood Center, 107 East Kellogg. The Blood Center is
open Mondays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Fridays from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Signed parental releases must be submitted by students between
the ages of 18 and 21.
Tenor soloist Virgil Hale, public relations representative for
Bethel, will present a concert tomorrow evening at 8:30 in the college
chapel. No admission will be charged.
Accompanying him will be Mrs. Ruth Fardig, part-time instructor
in piano.
THE FIRST SELECTIONS on the program will be Italian oper-atic
arias including two art songs of the eighteenth century and one
of the seventeenth century and the tenor aria from Don Giovonni by
Mozart. In musical circles, this tenor aria has been called the "sup-reme
test" for the tenor voice.
Nineteenth century German "lieder" by Schubert, Richard Strauss,
and Wolf will compose another section of the program.
CIELO E MAR, an aria expressing the beauty of the sky and
the sea, from the opera La Gioconda by Ponchelle will follow the Ger-man
After the intermission, Mrs. Fardig will play three piano numbers,
one by Scarlatti and two by Debussy.
Mr. Hale will then sing five Biblical songs by Dvorak which are
paraphrased from the Psalms.

Budget Brings Problems
A good administrator will use all the funds at his disposal for the
greatest benefit to the organization he is serving. To use the money
in the best possible way involves planning and foresight. In many eases
with such organizations as Bethel lack of sufficient funds to carry on
the adequate programs that are planned, is one of the problems we
constantly face.
A quick breakdown of the $50 inclusive fee that will be paid by
most of the college students runs like this: athletics, $9; awards, $1;
Royal Roster, $.70; the CLARION, $4; the Spire, $5; forensics, $1.50; the
music organization, $2; the Student Senate, $3; health care and accident
policy, $6.50; debt on the student center, $6; chapels and special pro-grams,
$2.50; and for miscellaneous extras, $1.80.
ALTHOUGH SOMEONE might object to paying so much for some
of these items, as it stands now some of them are in drastic need for
more money. For instance, your senate is trying to operate on only $3
from every student. With this they must run all the social, cultural,
religious, and athletic activities they sponsor, besides covering the gen-eral
operating expenses of the senate.
An administrative-student committee is working on this budget, but
it is hard to see how they can improve the situation with only reorgan-izing
it. To take even the slightest amount away from some of these
funds would severely handicap that group's efforts. Perhaps the school
itself could assume some of the expense that might fall within their
budget, such as some of the student center debt or more of the athletic
budget. But most of the money for these will eventually come from the
students through tuition.
ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE that we feel is justifiable is to raise
the fee at least one dollar per semester. This will provide about a thou-sand
dollars more a year. Such an addition, with possible reorganiza-tion
of the fee in some areas should give the student organizations at
least a minimum amount with which to work.
When the Pilgrims Came
by Ian Paterson
Once again it's Thanksgiving—and don't you once more envision
the courageous Pilgrims as they left their homeland, their England,
to come to this unknown part of the world?
Doesn't your mind drift back sentimentally to that first Thanks-giving
in November, 1620 in Plymouth when the brave Pilgrims bowed
their heads in humble reverence at their tables, before warm fires;
tables laid with turkey, corn and cranberries ? Don't you just imagine
yourself right there with them?
IF YOU DO then you should bone up on history!
You see, these valiant Pilgrims left Holland, not England, to come
to this unknown part of the world. And they came to avoid persecu-tions.
This was sensible, yes, but would you call deserting the Father-land
"brave and courageous"?
Furthermore, they sailed for Virginia, which was certainly not an
unknown part—it had been settled for more than a dozen years. Even
Plymouth, where they landed was not unknown—there were Indians
who knew their way around.
THE PILGRIMS, moreover, did not eat corn on that first day as
they had not yet met the Indians who gave them that vegetable. Neither
did they eat before warm fires, for they were on the ship as yet. Had
there been warm fires, the "Mayflower" would have certainly sunk.
On this first Thanksgiving the Pilgrims were still on the ship
because they were not yet near Plymouth—they were out across the
bay at Provincetown. Plymouth was not founded until December 11.
NOW WHAT IS WRONG with an educational system that gives
people such a distorted view of this national holiday? Just this—
teachers' wages are too low. There is, therefore, a lack of teachers.
So this Thanksgiving be thankful for the teachers we do have. Be
thankful for their ability and courage . . . and their patience (think
how long it takes to make up a test.)
Week Is
by Warren Nelson
President Foreign Missions Fellow-ship
Planning for some big event in
the future is very enjoyable.
Watching God work out His plan
in our lives is especially so. To
be more specific, accepting God's
call and allowing Him to prepare
us for Christian service is really
thrilling no matter what profes-sion
we will be in.
The comments of many were
that Missions Week 1957 had made
a difference in their insight into
foreign missions. A personal chal-lenge
for Christ was given. Perti-nent
and practical information con-cerning
all the six mission fields
of the Conference was shared.
NONE OF THIS would have
been possible without much hard
work in the planning which began
during the early summer, when
Rev. Andrew Nelson began fitting
the schedules of the returned mis-sionaries
with those of the Con-ference
churches in this area and
our own Mission Week.
A special weeks committee, com-posed
of Miss Lillian Ryberg, Mr.
Eugene Johnson, Miss Esther Sa-bel,
Dr. Alphin Conrad, and Ed
Tegenfeldt, FMF cabinet repre-sentative,
completed plans for the
SEVERAL STUDENTS were al-so
especially helpful as committee
chairmen: Ed Erickson, missionary
appointments; Roger Erickson, Joe

Milt Holmquist, program; Sue
Starkey, publicity; and John Reed,

these, worked hard on these corn-miittees.

Something To Think On
by Lawrence Van Heerden
The entire thirteenth chaper of First Corinthians is written to
emphasize the importance of motivation. Paul maintains that though
we may preach, or teach, or give or have faith, none of these is of
any value aside from the motivation of love. Just why we engage in
any activity, good in itself, is the important factor.
IN THIS CONNECTION it should be said that we all have more
than one motive for almost anything we do. This is legitimate for the
simple reason that we are complicated beings with a variety of alleg-iances—
to God, to ourselves, to our families, and our fellow-man. To
have "Christ and him crucified" as our sole motivation is an idealistic
goal for some, but is actually achieved by only a few.
RATHER, SHOULD we not feel that the order of importance
which we give to our motives is the essential matter ? Granted that
I have four or five motives for wanting to be a missionary or a bus-sinessman,
just what is the value I give to each motive involved? Is
the supreme motive simply that I want to love God fully and to serve
mankind. Or is a desire for adventure or fame or prestige the motive
which looms highest? Such motives should be forced down to their
correct level of importance.
"It is not what a man does that determines whether his
work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it. THE MOTIVE

Student Interest
Sought on Issues
by Bob
A college may be said to consist
of a faculty, an administration, and
a student body. Most students will
accept this rather simplified defini-tion,
but how many consider that
the first two constituent groups
exist solely for the benefit of the
EDUCATIONALLY, teachers
and staff members are only means
by which the students benefit. The
student must be viewed as the end
in the educational process. The col-lege
exists only for the students.
If the students comprise such an
important element in the college
constituency, should there not be
a greater concern on their part for
the operation of the institution
in which care they place their edu-cational
welfare ? Should they not
be concerned about the quality of
education proffered at their col-lege?
SHOULD THEY not be aware
of deficiencies inherent in academic
departments, or even in particular
teachers ? Should they not desire
a voice in shaping the academic
policies which, in turn, temper
their outlook, opinions, and values
through the educational process ?
Should they not become keenly
aware of the impending flood of
students onto their campus in just
a few years, and should they not
be desirous of aiding to meet this
Athletic Council Interviewed enrollment situation?
This is the first in a series of articles to intro-duce
the senate councils, their work, and their
problems. This interview is with Robert Johnson,
athletic council chairman.
Question: Who are your committee members,
Answer: Marilyn Junker, Judy Hegstrom, Joel
Stolte, Stu Luckman, and Les Borms.
Q: And your advisor?
A: Coach Lynn Lundin.
Q: What are your main functions?
A: MAINLY WHAT is stated in the constitu-tion.
That is, we sponsor an intramural program,
we try to promote school spirit, we provide trans-portation
to the athletic contest, and we are res-ponsible
for the cheerleaders. We have a "com-mittee
on pep" working in cooperation with us
headed by Wes Young and Bob Pommerenke.
Q: One of your jobs, as outlined in the constitu-tion,
is to "work with the faculty committee on
athletics in discussing athletic policies." Do you do
A: No. We have requested this but have not
met with them as yet.
Q: Where do you receive your financial support?
A: From the senate budget only. The smallest
amount of any of the councils, 10%; which is not
Q: How is the money used?
A: RENTAL OF buses for the games and for
referees at the intramural games. We buy trophies
and awards for intramural competittion and plan
to provide programs, posters, and a more colorful
atmosphere at the basketball games.
Q: Are you succeeding in your plans?
A: We have been successful only in being un-successful,
except in so far as we have initiated
the woman's intramural program.
THE APATHY of the student body is over-whelming.
We realize it is impossible to have full
participation in our programs with most of the stu-dents
working or studying all of the time, but we
fail to see why more life can't be shown at times.
Q: What are your major problems then?
A: We lack ideas and finances. We need eager
cooperation from the students and if necessary
some artificial stimulus to promote a better spirit.
We need a voice in determining athletic policy. We
need a positive attitude toward athletics. The value
of sports must be appreciated not only for its
benefit to our bodies, but for the social and per-sonal
attitudes they engender.
Q: What is your value to the campus?
A: THE COUNCIL can be of ineffiable value
if some of its needs are satisfied and there is more
interest in it shown on the part of the important
people. Perhaps the whole sports program needs
reorganization and its facilities expanded. There
is a need for student determination or sug-gestion
in the program. We might be able to pro-duce
better teams with better facilities, such as a
football field.
Q: What do you think of dropping one or
more of our sports?
A: No. There is more of a need for accentuating
them for a change. We need a positive outlook to-ward
them with, as I said, adequate facilities
and planning.

A game a week until Christmas vacation is scheduled for all
eight competing teams.
Two games have already been played, and of the eight teams, the
Squires and Dukes have come out ahead with two victories each. The
Barons, defending champions, are in a four way tie for second place.
THE ATHLETIC council has ex-pressed
deep regrets for the lack
of cooperation in the past of the
student body in failing to help
their individual teams. They would
like to see as many men as pos-sible
out to help in tonight's

`Better Over-all'
Claims Coach
Bethel basketball hopes for
1957-58 are centered on 16 cagers
who represent a "better over-all
group" according to head coach
DelRay Peterson.
Peterson points out that inex-perience
could hurt the team due
to the fact that there are no
juniors or seniors on the squad.
However, he comments, "We should
have more depth, more over-all
height, and a better shooting club
than last year." Last year's Royals
won 14 games while dropping 12.
LETTERMEN and returning re-serves
on the team are Don Becker,
Les Borms, Terry Bottenfield, Dick
Graham, Byron Lindaman, and Bob
Pommerenke. Newcomers include
Conrad Lundberg, Edward Ander-son,
Bill Humphries, Lester John-son,
Dennis Kroner, Skip Kulle,
Dan Nelson, Wally Shold, Truman
Turnquist, and Wes Young.
League Begins
Bethel's basketball Royals will
participate in a newly formed,
eight team league this season. The
league, the Badger-Gopher con-ference,
was officially organized
last March and will include six
Wisconsin schools and Bethel and
Northwestern of Minnesota.
The league is divided into two
divisions, Northern and Southern.
Bethel, Northwestern of Mpls.,
Northland, and Lakeland comprise
the northern section; Northwest-ern
of Wisconsin, Milton, Milwau-kee
institute of technology, and
Wisconsin institute of technology
are in the southern.
EACH TEAM is required to play
each of the other three schools in
its division twice, and each of the
teams in the other division at least
once. Eleven league games are re-quired
of each team. The cham-pionship
will be awarded on a
strictly percentage basis.
Bethel's 1957-58 schedule in-cludes
twelve league games, five
of which are home games. DelRay
Peterson, Bethel coach, is secre-tary
of the conference.
Women's Sports
Organize, Start
With Volleyball
Women's Intramurals got under
way last Monday, Nov. 18 with
an organizational meeting and
volleyball games.
The 50 girls who signed up for
intramurals have now been placed
on teams which as yet have no
names. Freshman team captains
are Jean Miller, Judy Hegstrom,
and Ruth Randall.
Annette Burgess and Patti San-ders
will be sophomore captains.
The juniors and seniors have com-bined
into one team with Priscilla
Knapp as captain. Sheila Compton
and Terry Brown are in charge of
this program.
Sheila added, "These games will
be held every Monday night and
they are open to the public."

Basketball Starts Nov. 23
Creation of the Badger-Gopher conference should help much to
produce more interest in the basketball program and in school spirit
generally. Since the erection of Bethel's fieldhouse, basketball has
been generally considered as the number one sport on Royalty Square.
Even though the Royals have faced teams from larger schools and
their schedules have been comparatively heavy, their efforts in the
last two years have won them successful seasons.
THANKS TO THE formation of the new league, it will now be
possible to rank Bethel with other schools of the same size. Moreover,
league competition should be a stimulus to the team.
MISSING FROM last year's starting five are Howie Rekstad, Bill
Conrad, and Glen Westin. Pommerenke, Borms, Becker, and Botten-field—
all returning regulars—should see a lot of action this season
as well as several outstanding newcomers including Wes Young and
Truman Turnquist.
THE BETHEL "B" TEAM, coached by Gerald Healy, will again be
in the junior varsity conference this season. Last year they captured
first place . . . Skip Kulle is confident that Seattle will have the na-tion's
best college basketball five. Anybody agree ? . . . Marshall Smith's
controversial article in Life, November 11, "Nobody Loves the Foot-ball
Hero", presents an interesting view of today's gridders. He says
the old time gridiron hero is but a "faceless employee" due to com-mercialism
of the sport. He maintains that today's star, pictured as an
ape, is the object of antogonism and ostracism on university campuses.
Smith's views seem to be a little extreme and exaggerated we think.
The following is by Bob Johnson, athletic council chairman:
WITH 1957 FOOTBALL now history, and basketball just around
the corner, let us pause for a moment and ponder the fate of next
year's grid squad. As the campus undergoes a face-lifting, the Bethel
football Royals undergoes a place-lifting. They lose their old practice-field-
campus. This poses a problem.
ACROSS THE STREET from our soon-to-be-fair campus, is a
field which the school uses, courtesy of the State Fair. If the gophers
were transplanted, and the field leveled and marked off, football for '58
would have great possibilities. But let us not in our elation forget that
orphan of the athletic department, the track team. If properly done
the periphery of the proposed football field would make an excellent
And if you are still listening friends, just a word about intramurals.
Men, much volleyball every Thursday night in the fieldhouse—when in
doubt, come on out. And girls, forget not your own little program every
Monday eve. It's all designed with you in mind.

unlimited opportunity for actual
experience in radio engineering,
announcing, and performance.
The problem at this time is
finding someone to determine how
the requirements for erecting such
a station may best be met.

KIRKLAND – Nancy Grant has mixed emotions about closing the Five Star Dollar Store.
On the one hand, Grant, who has owned the store in downtown Kirkland for more than 10 years, is looking forward to retirement. She will be 75 years old in March, and she said retirement is her birthday gift to herself.
On the other hand, the 3,000-square-foot store has been much more than a place to work for her.
"My customers are not customers. They're friends," she said. "I've had so many good times and so many laughs. I really feel bad for the people because there really won't be any place left to shop."
The store carries an array of general necessities – toiletries, DVDs, school supplies, tools, kitchen utensils, toys and holiday items, just to name a few.
"It started as a dollar store, but there's no way a mom-and-pop operation can keep a dollar store," she said. "It's a nice village. The community tries to help you. They try to support you however they can."
Store regular Doug Shroyer said he will miss the little store when it closes.
"It's just nice to have someplace in town," he said as he filled water cooler jugs at a bottled water station in the back of the store. "I hate paying $4 for a loaf of bread at the gas station, but it's not worth driving to Genoa or Belvidere just for a loaf of bread."
The village has bought the vacant building across the street, which used to be a grocery store, in hopes of attracting a buyer who will revive the business, but Shroyer is worried that will become "just another convenience store."
"[Five Star] is nice," he said. "You can get what you need and it's reasonably priced."
The Five Star building and lot are for sale, and Grant remains hopeful someone will come along with an interest in keeping the store open.
"It's been challenging, but it was fun," she said. "I can't regret it."

Fernando Torres rescued Chelsea and Rafael Benitez from FA Cup humiliation as the holders denied Brentford arguably the biggest scalp of all in this season of shocks by securing a 2-2 draw.
Torres broke his latest miserable run in front of goal with his first of 2013, and one of the most important of his Blues career, to prevent the European champions crashing out of their second competition in five days and sixth in just six months.
The npower League One high-fliers were one in a line of sides to completely outmuscle Chelsea since Benitez took charge, Marcello Trotta firing them in front moments before half-time and Harry Forrester restoring their lead with a penalty after Oscar had equalised. They might even have clung on had Ross Turnbull been sent off instead of cautioned for conceding the spot-kick.
