On 7th December of 2009, Google launched real-time search results into search pages but what do these real-time results look like? Google search page results update currently discussed topics from social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca just as they are happening.
How Google chooses the real-time results or finds out which posted messages are true is yet unknown. However, there are some things one can do. Google analyzes the content from blog posts, tweets etc. to verify the value and the quality of the posted message to place the real-time results and avoid anything that looks like spam. Later on the collected text will be used to update page rankings for every contributing user. Google's real-time results are a nice addition but on the other hand real-time results do not appear with all search terms and if they do other immediate results quickly replace them. So how can high authority posters sell links in their tweets? This is yet another problematic side.
So should you invest your time to get into Google's real-time results? Well that of course that depends on you but your real-time results won't stay up for long. Therefore the number one priority is still to be listed in Google's top results – these are the long lasting results that will truly bring targeted visitors to your website.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- A recently signed law gives official veteran status to National Guard members who served 20 years or more. Previously, Guard members were considered veterans only if they served 180 days or more in a federal status outside of training.
"As long as you were deployed on active duty for at least 180 days and you didn't get a dishonorable discharge or a bad conduct discharge coming off those orders, then you could be considered a veteran," said Army Sgt. Maj. Matthew Krenz, a legislative liaison at the National Guard Bureau who provided background information to Congressional members working on the bill.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- For 60 years, North American Aerospace Defense Command, otherwise known as NORAD, and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa's flight.
The tradition began in 1955 after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roebuck & Co. advertisement misprinted the telephone number for children to call Santa. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone number put children through to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief's operations "hotline." The director of operations at the time, Col. Harry Shoup, had his staff check the radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole. Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born.
December 20, 2016
In December, families often take time to come together and celebrate the holidays. Whether you are taking part in traditions that have been in your family for generations or creating new ones with your own kids, the holiday season is a perfect time to reinforce the values of charity and generosity. It's easy for kids to become wrapped up in getting presents, but during the holidays, you can show them that spending time giving back to others can be just as fun and much more rewarding!
Depending on the age of your kids, you may want to talk to them about what it means to give back to the community and why it is so important. Remind them that it is not the amount you give or even giving money at all. Time and effort can make all the difference. PBS Parents recommends framing this conversation around how your kids' actions will affect others, since children often operate from a center of self. Similarly, the Family Dinner Project (link is external) suggests starting out by asking kids, "What can you give or do for someone that doesn't cost any money?" Or, for older kids, "Invent a superhero who protects something you care about. What is s/he fighting for? How does s/he create change?"
WASHINGTON- The Department of Veteran Affairs cut the ribbon today for its new Veteran Crisis Line (VCL) satellite office in Atlanta allowing the life-saving hotline to expand capacity by nearly 600 Veterans each day essentially doubling VA's ability to help Veterans in need.
As a part of the MyVA initiative, the largest restructuring in the Department's history, improvements of the VCL are a key priority, with the goal of providing 24/7, world-class suicide prevention and crisis intervention services to Veterans, servicemembers and their family members across the globe.

Earthquakes, oppression, floods and famine are just some of the targets of the Jesuit Universities Humanitarian Action Network, an initiative to educate undergraduates at Jesuit-run universities about the humanitarian crises such disasters cause and how best to respond to them. The initiative was formed as a result of discussions among Jesuits about students' enthusiasm for humanitarian efforts and the fact that such enthusiasm needs direction. "We felt that young people's passion for helping people wasn't being well-channeled. They would raise money to buy blankets or something and send them down to a crisis center, but it was an unsophisticated approach," said Rick Ryscavage, S.J., director of Fairfield University's Center for Faith and Public Life. The network intends to create an integrated curriculum in Jesuit schools world-wide to prepare undergraduates for careers in humanitarian work.

Miami-Dade faces $50-million-plus budget shortfall
Miami-Dade County faces a $50 million-plus budget shortfall under current projections, Mayor Carlos Gimenez warned commissioners this week after informing employee unions that the county will ask for a continuation of significant benefit concessions.
Gimenez's administration is requesting that, for another year, workers continue to contribute 5 percent of their base pay toward the cost of health insurance, among other concessions particular to each union.
Extending the contribution requires the county to return to the bargaining table with most of its bargaining units. The mayor had said he would try to eliminate the contribution this year, and the contracts, negotiated for a three-year period, provide for reopening certain agreement provisions if the contribution is to continue past Jan. 1, 2014.
"I have directed staff to being scheduling negotiation sessions with all of [the] unions in order to come to a consensus on the terms of the agreements as soon as possible since, as per the existing contract language, there is a time window of time allotted for negotiations," Gimenez wrote commissioners Wednesday.

Mobile Only Domain: Too Little, Too Late?
from the way,-way-too-late dept
For years, we've been pointing out many of the reasons why a separate domain for the "mobile internet" isn't needed. Simply stated, it's a bad idea designed to force companies to part with more money, but provides little real value. As networks get faster, mobile phones get increasingly "smarter," and mobile browsers (Opera still leading the pack) get better, there's little real reason to move mobile-optimized pages to an entirely separate domain. Many devices can handle the full internet browsing experience without having to revert to some alternate internet world -- and it's increasingly simple to optimize a site to recognize what kind of device is accessing the content and present the content appropriately. Yet, the .mobi domain keeps moving forward. The latest is that it's finally set a date to start taking applications. The thing now is that beyond just being pointless, it seems like this offering is really late to the game. .mobi was approved over a year ago, when you could still make an argument for why it was needed. However, by the time .mobi domains really start showing up (not for almost another year), it's hard to see any remaining need.

KnowledgeBase 00069: Cataloguing
Before a QMBasic subroutine, function or class module can be used in an application, it must be placed in the system catalogue. This can be thought of as a library of subroutines available to the application. Programs can also be catalogued but this is not always needed.
The CATALOGUE verb (also available with its US spelling, CATALOG) creates a catalogue entry.
CATALOGUE {filename {catalogue.name}} program.name {options}The filename defaults to BP if omitted. Note that the .OUT suffix to the filename to address the object code file is supplied automatically. The catalogue name (the name used in CALLs, etc) defaults to be the same as the program name.
QM provides three distinct ways to catalogue a program. They are described below in the order in which the library search takes place at run time.
Local Cataloguing
Using the LOCAL option to the CATALOGUE verb creates a VOC record that points to the compiled object code in its original location.
It is not necessary to recatalogue the program if it is recompiled because the pointer will still be in place. If the compilation fails, the object code will be deleted and users of the application may get run time errors.
Private Cataloguing
Using the CATALOGUE verb with no mode options copies the program to the private catalogue which is normally a subdirectory named cat under the account directory. There is no VOC record associated with the catalogued program.
If the program is modified, the CATALOGUE verb must be repeated to copy the new version. If the compilation fails, the previous catalogued version is still in place.
Global Cataloguing
Using the GLOBAL option to the CATALOGUE verb copies the program to the global catalogue which is a subdirectory named gcat under the QMSYS account directory. As described in the QM Reference Manual, global cataloguing can also be forced by use of certain reserved prefix characters on the program name. There is no VOC record associated with a globally catalogued program.
Again, if the program is modified, the CATALOGUE verb must be repeated to copy the new version. If the compilation fails, the previous catalogued version is still in place.
Sharing the Private Catalogue
Sometimes it is useful for two or more accounts to share a single private catalogue. This can be done by creating a VOC record named $PRIVATE.CATALOGUE that points to an alternative location. See the QM Reference Manual for more details.
Catalogue Mapping
The MAP command produces a report of the items in the private and global catalogues. Locally catalogued items can be located with a simple query against the VOC file.
Automatic Cataloguing
The QMBasic compiler supports a $CATALOGUE directive to catalogue a program automatically after successful compilation. This can also be enabled for all programs via the $BASIC.OPTIONS record.

Video: 6 Tips for Furnace Troubleshooting
Solution 1: Check the thermostat to make sure it's on
Thermostat controls
Move the thermostat setting to "heat."
A furnace can be intimidating—especially when the heat won't turn on. However, there is good news from furnace repair pros. Roughly a quarter of all service calls could be avoided with easy furnace fixes that cost little or nothing. In this article, we'll focus on the common furnace troubleshooting culprits and show you what to do about furnace problems.
Before you assume you have a furnace problem, do some furnace troubleshooting and check the thermostat to make sure it's actually telling the furnace to come on. Thermostats, especially programmable ones, can be complicated, and the more options a thermostat has, the more that can go wrong.
- Make sure the switch is on "Heat" rather than on "Cool."
- Check the temperature setting.
- Compare the temperature setting to the room temperature. Set the temperature five degrees higher than the room temperature and see if the furnace kicks on.
- Make sure the program is displaying the right day and time, as well as a.m. and p.m. settings.
- Trace the thermostat wires back to the furnace to check for breaks, especially if you've done any remodeling recently. If you find a break in one of the thin wires, splice the line back together and wrap it with electrical tape.
- Replace the battery. If you have a power outage with a dead battery, you'll lose your settings and the thermostat will revert to the default program.
- Open the thermostat and gently blow out any dust or debris. Make sure it's level and firmly attached on the wall, and that none of the wires coming into it are loose.
- If you can't make the program settings work, you can bypass them altogether. Simply punch in the temperature you want with the up/down control and then press the hold button. That will switch on the furnace if the thermostat programming is the problem.
Tip: Lost your owner's manual? Most major-brand manuals are on the Web—just go to the manufacturer's website.
Figure A Furnace Troubleshooting: 8 Things to Check Before You Call a Repair Service
You can check and correct all eight items in just a few minutes. We show a gas-fired, forced-air furnace here, but most of the same checks apply to electric systems and hot water boilers.
Note: You can download Figure A and enlarge it in Additional Information below.
Solution 2: Check shutoff switches and breakers
It sounds unbelievable, but furnace technicians often find that the only 'repair" a furnace needs is to be turned on. Look for a standard wall switch on or near the furnace—all furnaces, no matter what age or type, have one somewhere. Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the furnace as well. Make sure the front panel covering the blower motor is securely fastened—there's a push-in switch under it that must be fully depressed for the furnace to operate.
Solution 3: Change filters
Furnace filters
A clogged furnace filter can cause a furnace to shut off.
Dirty filters are the most common cause of furnace problems. Dust and dirt restrict airflow—and if the filter gets too clogged, the heat exchanger will overheat and shut off too quickly, and your house won't warm up. If the blower is running but no heat is coming out, replace the filter. A dirty filter also causes soot buildup on the heat exchanger, reducing the efficiency of the furnace and shortening its life.
The owner's manual shows where the filter is and how to remove it. Change inexpensive flat filters at least once a month. Make sure that the arrow points toward the furnace. Inspect pleated filters once a month. Hold them up to the light and if you can't see the light clearly through them, replace them. Manufacturers say pleated filters are good for three months, but change them more frequently if you have pets, kids or generate lots of dust.
Always turn off the shutoff switch (see Solution 2) and turn the thermostat off or all the way down before changing the filter or working on the thermostat or furnace.
Solution 4: Make sure the gas is on
Just as with switches, someone may have turned off a gas valve and then forgotten to turn it back on. Trace the gas line back from the furnace to the meter, and if you see a handle that's perpendicular to the gas pipe, turn it so it's parallel. Gas furnace repair is depends on how old your furnace is. If you have an old furnace or boiler, you may have a pilot light. Remove the front panel and the burner cover and check to make sure it's lit.
Solution 5: Make sure the chimney exhaust flue is clear
Drawn by the warmth, birds sometimes fall into the chimney exhaust flue. Turn the furnace off and the thermostat all the way down, then dismantle the duct where it exits the furnace and check for debris. Be sure to reassemble the sections in the same order and direction that you took them out.
Solution 6: Flush out drain lines
High-efficiency furnaces can drain off several gallons of water a day in heating season. If the drain lines become restricted by sediment or mold growth, the furnace will shut down. If the drain hose looks dirty, remove the hose, fill it with a mixture of bleach and water (25 percent bleach), then flush it after several minutes.
Solution 7: Look for blocked or leaky ducts that can restrict airflow
If your furnace comes on but one or two rooms are cold, first make sure all the room registers are open. Then examine any ductwork you can get access to and look for gaps between sections or branching points. Seal any gaps between sections of duct with special metal duct tape. Don't use standard cloth duct tape—it quickly deteriorates, and it may also cause ducts to leak if it was used to seal sections in the past.
Also check for handles protruding from the ductwork. These are dampers or air conditioner bypasses—make sure they're open.
Solution 8: Clean away leaves and debris from heat pumps or intake and exhaust vents.
If you have a furnace that vents out the side of the house, make sure nothing is blocking the intake or exhaust. If either of the pipes is covered with screen mesh (like window screen), replace it with 1/2-in.-mesh hardware cloth. If ice is clogging one of the pipes, you have a bigger problem somewhere in the system. Clear it off and call a technician to find out why it's happening.
If you have a heat pump, clear away grass and leaves from the fins of the outdoor compressor unit. Before heating season starts, hose it down gently from the top to rinse dirt and debris out of the housing.

Hello Everyone !
Iam new in summitpost and is seeking advices from the experts in this web.
Iam planning to visit Nepal this May and is planning to do the Everest Base Camp trek. Also Iam planning to include Island Peak on my trip.
The plan was to trek from Lukla to the EBC then Island Peak for 20 days. My main concern is that since this is my first time to the Himalayan and will be my first ice and altitude climbing ever, will this be recomended ? How hard and technical is the climb to the summit of Island Peak.
Considering that I have no experience on ice climbing and technical climbing and also that I am quite new to mountaineering, My highest climb was Mount Kinabalu (around 4000m), and since I am based in Indonesia my climbing experience is only limited to tropical mountains in Indonesia (all below 4000m). Iam in a great shape ( I guess) but considering the altitude of Island Peak will it be wise for me to climb it during my first trip to the Himalayan ?
What other easy and cheap himalayan peaks will you recommend ?
Any suggestion and positive comments are warmly welcomed..!

Hey y'all, many of you already know that I have recently started my little business – Enchanté, but some of you may not know that I'm also going to be teaching some classes at a cooking school in Singapore called Palate Sensations. It's a really cool place set up like a large home-kitchen in a historical black and white house (you'll need to have visited Singapore to know it). Owner Lynette is an amazing lady who's so friendly that you'll feel right at home the minute you step inside the kitchen studio.
After a "practice run"of cooking a sushi dinner for some of Palate Sensations' sponsors and friends, my firsts lessons at the school are going to be on chocolates! Chocolates are tricky, even under the best of circumstances, so needless to say, I'm a little nervous to be teaching in unfamiliar territory, but hey, people want to learn how to make chocolate candies and somebody's gotta teach it.
To introduce the novice student to the art of artisan chocolates, my début workshop will consist three easy to make yet delicious chocolates:
- Pictured in the photo are easy orange flavored bonbons in three different coatings for flavor variations. They are your fail-proof recipes whenever you need to whip up a quick batch to give out as gifts.
- Now that you've gained some confidence making the bonbons, you will then tackle the classic ganache truffle. After seeing how easy it is to add flavors to the ganache, the only limitation to the variety of truffles you'll be churning out is your imagination.
- Finally, tempered milk chocolate will be used to make a delightful little candy called "mendiant": a chocolate disc studded with dried fruits and nuts. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, with Amedei's rich milky chocolate, you will have a hard time stopping yourself from eating another one of these little treats.
I hope your interest is piqued. I assure you that chocolate-making is addictive and once you start, you simply won't want to stop. So what are you waiting for? Give Lynette a call and sign up for the class!
Classes are held on May 12th and 16th, from 11am to 2pm. See schedule.

Wall Street Journal: Student No-Shows
Student indifference is easy to spot at matchups they expect to be lopsided: 45% of the student seats went unused at Georgia's non-SEC games. In the Big Ten, Michigan's student section had wide swaths of empty rows before kickoff Sept. 14 against Akron, the week after a stirring home win over rival Notre Dame. At Ohio State, the student no-show rate hit 26% for a game last season against lowly UAB.

Knicks' London trip just what the doctor ordered!!
By Ian Begley | ESPNNewYork.com
The Knicks must have a friend in the NBA scheduling department, because their upcoming London trip couldn't come at a better time.
Don't let Sunday's win over lowly New Orleans fool you, these Knicks are far from the team you watched get off to an 18-5 start.
They don't defend for long stretches, they get off to too many slow starts and they have several veterans sorely in need of a day off.
It's a good thing London's calling.
"No better time than right now," Carmelo Anthony said of the Knicks' trip to London this week to play the Pistons. "Give us three, four days [to] get some rest, get guys back. … Get the guys who've been playing major minutes to rest their bodies and heal. See what happens from there. This couldn't have come at a better time."
The Knicks will head to London to play the Pistons on Thursday, which means they will play just one game in the next seven days.
Any break in the schedule is beneficial when you're the oldest team in the league, especially when you've played 37 games in the season's first 72 days.
"This one game is great for us at this point," Mike Woodson said on Sunday, before his team beat the lowly Hornets to snap a three-game losing streak. "We can use some of these days [off]."
The Knicks will practice Monday in New York and then fly to London on Monday night. Woodson hopes to practice once in London before they play the Pistons, winners of seven of their past 10, on Thursday.
In between, the Knicks may have to participate in a couple of events scheduled by the NBA. But other than that, they will have a chance to rest. For a team with five players over 35, it will be a welcome respite.
"It's no secret we have the oldest team and we definitely need as much time off as we can [get] to recover," J.R. Smith said.
Plenty of guys could use a day off, but you can make a strong argument that Jason Kidd will benefit the most from a few days off across the pond.
Woodson said on Saturday that it wasn't "healthy" for Kidd to play as much as he has recently. Kidd has played more than 30 minutes in 10 of the Knicks' past 14 games.
Woodson held Kidd (5 points, 8 assists) to just 23 minutes against New Orleans on Sunday.
"It's a tough [challenge] because we need Kidd on the floor," Woodson said.
The Knicks hope to get Iman Shumpert back on Thursday against Detroit.
Ray Felton (broken right pinky) is also getting closer to a return. Rasheed Wallace, who has missed nearly a month with a stress reaction in his left foot, may start running when the Knicks are in London.

Comparisons of medicine to veterinary medicine are often made cautiously. Nonetheless, I compared pediatrics to veterinary medicine and thus, ruled it out as a medical specialty. As an animal lover, I avoided veterinary medicine and the prospect of euthanizing someone's beloved pet. And since I love kids, I never really considered pediatrics until this Princeternship! I spent part of reading period shadowing Dr. Debra Palazzi (attending) and Dr. Chase McNeil (fellow) who are part of the pediatric infectious disease team at Baylor College of Medicine.
The first day began early. The other Princetern Tola, and I, were out of the house before 8:00 am in order to beat Houston's morning traffic and arrive at Texas Children's Hospital early (we're all about a good first impression!). Dr. Palazzi met us in the lobby and then we went to her office in order to discuss her plans for the week. In addition, Dr. Palazzi gave us the opportunity to ask her questions about her work in pediatric infectious diseases, her life at Princeton, our shared dislike of organic chemistry, and medical rotations in medical school.
Then, the fun really began: rounds! We had the opportunity to see really interesting yet sad cases:
- a teenage boy with chronic osteomyelitis—bone infectious—and pseudomonas
- a teenage girl with endocarditis, kidney failure, and a myriad of other related health problems
- a male sixth month child with congenital heart failure (a hypoplastic L-heart) and bacteremia
- a male teenager with leukemia and a fungal disease
- a female teenager with a Baclofen instrumentation infection
(Yet, not all the cases we saw were sad. We also had a new consult who was not sick.)
We got a chance to attend an Osteomyelitis Conference where radiologists, orthepedic surgeons, and members of the infectious disease team discussed three of the patients. The conference was extremely interesting because I got a chance to see how different medical specialists process the same information.
On the second day, we revisited a majority of the first-day patients during rounds. Our visits this day were focused on updating or confirming the drug regimen depending upon the results of previously ordered cultures and blood tests. The second day also differed from the first because we changed locations! We conducted our outpatient visitation in the Children's Critical Center. The patient we visited had chronic osteomyelitis but appeared to be recovering well—this was certainly good news after a slew of melancholy cases before.
Afterwards, we made our way down to the labs for micro-rounds. During micro-rounds, we were able to see our patients' fungal and bacterial cultures and discuss ways of treating the infections. During our discussion I was really glad to be taking EEB 211 (Chaos and Clockwork of Biological Design) this semester.
Tola and I attended a conference called Fashioning Parasitic Antigensinto Recombinant Protein Vaccines. The conference was focused upon global health (an interest of mine) and discovery and allocation of affordable vaccines for tropical diseases which are generally found in less developed nations. We also got a chance to sit in on a meeting to discuss the plan of action for a ten-year old boy who had quite progressive osteomyelitis. The meeting including his oncology team, the infectious disease team, and orthopedic surgeons. The discussion was obviously serious as the options for the boy were (1) immediate amputation or (2) an attempt to get rid of the infectious and subsequent amputation, only if necessary.
On the third day, we continued with rounds and I think the most striking case of the day was a two month old who may (or may not) have inherited syphilis from his mother. After seeing tons of cases in which infection was unpreventable, it was odd to see a case where infection was entirely preventable. Luckily, penicillin will help.
Overall, I got to shadow two amazing doctors who had extremely interesting cases, but what else did I learn?
- The world of medicine may not be as glamorous as it is portrayed in Grey's Anatomy, but it is certainly just as exciting.
- I am extremely, extremely interested in pediatrics.
- I shouldn't stress out about organic chemistry. It has little to nothing to do with actual medicine.
- Medicine is an extremely collaborative field. So, the competitive pre-med lifestyle definitely does more harm than good.
I definitely enjoyed my Princeternship and I strongly recommend Princeton students apply for a Princeternship yourself. Who knows, you may discover your career path.

Bit beside myself. I bought a block of land. Deceased estate. Signed the contract the day before yesterday.... with the agent's lucky pen. I could feel it in my waters that it was going to be mine.... but I still used the pen... so as not to offend the nice agent. He was very nice. Nice manners.
So, I am going to try my hand at a subdivision and build 2 beautiful houses side by side. There is a house on the block at the moment. I think I am going to polarise my blog readers when I eventually publish a photo of it as, despite it being post war, it is sort of really lovely.... in it's own way. It's not timber, it's stucco and brick.... so it's going to have to be a noisy, scary demolition.....no warm and fuzzy recycling story this time around I'm afraid. I will make a promise to the neighbours that I will replace it with something much much better.
At this stage, I am not going to get ahead of myself.... which is extremely easy to do when you have a blank canvas sitting there in all it's beauty! Step by step. I'm in discussions with a town planner at the moment, during the contract due diligence stage, as I wish to reconfigure the current subdivision to enable the best street elevations and city views for both houses. So I am changing a 2 lot, into a 2 lot, if that makes sense.... from long and skinny blocks to square blocks... with wider frontages. I'll get the terminology right eventually. I built the last place on 'thingys' and 'whatsits' so I know that people do eventually get what I am talking about.
I'm really, really going to need your help. Lots of advice. Just like last time. Remember? You helped me build that place. I can't do it on my own. So how about it? Are you in?
Might have to change the name of my bloggy?
PS And in other exciting news, I had the most delightful day yesterday! Taubmans flew me to Sydney so I could take part in the Taubmans Great Colour Debate. I will tell you all about it tomorrow as I have to rush out the door this morning. Lots to do! Kid's to deliver at school, town planner meeting and filthy shed chores. The glamour.

May 30 Podcast
Peter Steinfels talks about how the leaders of the church make themselves heard.
Is there an inverse relationship between effective leadership of the bishops' conference and that of individual bishops? Or is it possible the stronger the voice of the bishops collectively, the stronger the voice of most bishops individually and locally? Peter Steinfels explores these questions in the May 30 issue of America, and here on our podcast. Steinfels' inquiry grew from his reading of George Weigel's recent article in First Things on the workings of the bishops' conference under the leadership of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. You can read Steinfels' formal response to Weigel in Commonweal (subscriber only). Peter Steinfels is the co-director of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University and the author of A People Adrift: The Crisis of the Roman Catholic Church in America.

UHHHHHHHHHHHH I think I'd rather give him antibiotics than DIP him...
(((((((((oooohhhh doesn't THAT sound FUN,,,))))))))))))))))
The dipping really wasn't too bad. Degan did get used to taking baths! We just had to mix this liquid (I think it was amitraz) in with water in a milk jug and after washing him with medicated shampoo we had to put that on him, and usually sat for about ten minutes before he got out. It wasn't fun but he didn't fight us much. We just made sure to give him a few treats during and after...and luckily we were done after just a few days.
(Okay so I guess it was kind of a pain in the a**. haha)

- Forty per cent of Canadians likely to start their own business in retirement - Top reasons to start a business in retirement include additional income, staying mentally sharp and using it as a hobby - Retirement savings identified as top funding source for starting new businesses
- Forty per cent of Canadians likely to start their own business in retirement
- Top reasons to start a business in retirement include additional income, staying mentally sharp and using it as a hobby
- Retirement savings identified as top funding source for starting new businesses
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 29, 2013) - According to a study released today by BMO Financial Group, many Canadians envision becoming entrepreneurs during their retirement years; 39 per cent say that it is likely they will start their own business after they reach retirement age (65 years old). More generally, 81 per cent plan on working in some capacity during their retirement.
The top reasons identified by Canadians for starting their own business in retirement are:
"It's clear that many Canadians are looking to generate additional income during their retirement years," said Marlena Pospiech, Senior Manager, BMO Wealth Planning Group, BMO Financial Group. "People are living longer than ever before so, for an increasing number of Canadians, retirement savings may need to last more than 25 years. Additionally, with the decline in employer-sponsored defined registered pension plans and reforms to government pension plans, there's now a greater need for people to supplement their income during retirement to compensate for that income gap. This is particularly true for those who haven't been saving aggressively for retirement through retirement savings vehicles such as RRSPs and TFSAs."
Other key study findings:
Ms. Pospiech added that Canadians are getting creative in how they picture their retirement; many view a gradual transition from work to full-time retirement as the optimal choice. She noted that not only does working longer benefit your bank account by generating additional income, it also helps keep retirees mentally active, involved in the community and contributing to the larger economy.
Funding a small business in retirement
The study also found that, when asked about how they plan to fund their business, almost half (47 per cent) of Canadians responded that they would use a portion of their retirement savings. Other funding sources pre-retirees said they would consider include:
"While it may be tempting to draw on retirement savings to fund your post-retirement business, there are other options available," said Steve Murphy, Head of Commercial Banking for BMO Bank of Montreal. "It's important that those looking to start a business have personal retirement savings, as well as savings set aside to fund their retirement business along with a business plan. A financial professional can help you develop a strategy that incorporates saving for retirement, as well as a post-retirement business."
For those who are considering starting a business when they retire, BMO offers the following tips:

The results cited in this release are from a Pollara survey with a sample of 1,000 Canadians 18 years of age and over, fielded online between January 17th and January 22nd, 2013. A probability sample of this size would yield results accurate to ± 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

How Much Does Color Impact Taste?
from the more-than-you-would-think dept
In an experiment with "uncolored" Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Flavored snacks, apparently, the bland color matched people's feelings about the taste:
Their fingers did not turn orange. And their brains did not register much cheese flavor, even though the Cheetos tasted just as they did with food coloring.Tests in the other direction also had a similar impact. Seeing a different color than is actually the flavor can make that flavor seem apparent:
"People ranked the taste as bland and said that they weren't much fun to eat," said Brian Wansink, a professor at Cornell University and director of the university's Food and Brand Lab.
When tasteless yellow coloring is added to vanilla pudding, consumers say it tastes like banana or lemon pudding. And when mango or lemon flavoring is added to white pudding, most consumers say that it tastes like vanilla pudding.Of course, this may be tempting me to start adding more food coloring to various things, rather than less...

Who's ready for more Courtney Stodden's preaching about how she's an anti-bullying spokesperson and a dresses like a prostitute so others feel embowered?!
The former teen bride has separated from Doug Hutchison, moved out, and is now getting her own solo show to go with it! "She moved into the studio apartment next door to the house she and Doug rented together. But Doug still lives in the main house," a source dished to Celebuzz. "They're not divorced yet, so she'll stay there until they figure out how they want to proceed with things."
In the meantime, Courtney is busy revitalizing her "career" – and that includes more music! "She has a development deal with World of Wonder Productions," says a source and is in the "beginning stages" of creating her own reality show. "Courtney's working on multiple on-camera projects, one of which is her own show. And she's being pitched to networks." WoW Productions is also behind Million Dollar Listing, Tori & Dean: Inn Love and RuPaul's Drag Race.

Tuesday Volley Flew Above Airliner's Route Just Minutes Ahead of Plane
SEOUL—North Korea defended on Wednesday its recent missile firings as "ordinary military practice," as South Korea said Tuesday's volley passed above a Chinese passenger jet's route just minutes ahead of the airliner.
In its first public comment on the launches, North Korea's state media said the missiles' accuracy ensured they wouldn't affect neighboring countries. The firings began on Feb. 21 and ended on Tuesday, state media said....

Cold World: 80yr Old Man Called "The Geezer Bandit" Is Robbing Banks In California! (7th Bank He Robbed & He Can't Be Stopped)
"After lying low for months, a robber known as the "Geezer Bandit" robbed a bank in Vista Tuesday, the FBI reported. The robber walked into the California Bank and Trust at 140 Escondido Ave. just after 9 a.m. and waited quietly at a customer kiosk until a teller was free. The man handed the teller a demand note and opened a portfolio to show the teller that he had a snub-nosed revolver pointed at her. The teller gave the bandit the contents of her cash drawer, which he put in the portfolio. He walked out of the bank and disappeared, investigators said.' - 5 News

How Swedes Celebrate It
The day of Lucia—December 13—begins the month-long Christ-mas
festivities in Sweden. In certain parts of the country it is the
custom for the young girls of the house to rise early that morning—
perhaps 4 A. M., make breakfast, and serve it to the rest of the mem-bers
of the household who remain in bed. The young lady who does
the actual serving wears a crown of leaves and lighted candles, signi-fying
the observance of the festival of lights.
From this day until Christmas the feminine constituent of the
Swedish household spends the time baking cakes, cookies, bread and
other goodies for the forthcoming holidays. The men, in turn, finish
all their outside chores, including the cutting and the piling of the
Christmas wood.
Christmas morning the families leave their beds very early again
and proceed to church for the 5:00 o'clock matin services or "Julotta."
Each family, as they travel to the church in their sleigh, carries a
lighted torch and upon entering the church yard, the torches are cast
into one huge fire. Christmas Day itself is strictly a family gathering,
but after that, and until January 13, there are continual parties anti
On "tjugondag Knut" —January 13— a practice known as robbing
the Christmas tree is affected. Since the trees are decorated with
candy, popcorn, and apples, these are now removed and eaten by the
children—This officially concludes the Christmas holidays.

Christmas Party Features Cantata
On Friday, December 17, at 3:30 P. M. the annual Christmas party
will be held in the Bethel College Chapel.
At this time the Chapel Choir, under the direction of Mr. Lloyd
Sprecher, will present "The Chorus in the Skies," a publication of the
Lorenz Publishing Co., of Dayton, Ohio.
The presentation is a Choral Choir Cantata which combines many
of the familiar Christmas hymns with original music written by Fred
B. Holt. The text of the Cantata was written by Edith Sanford Tillotson.
It begins with the setting of the scene for the Christmas story in
the opening chorus, "0 Hills and Vales of Bethlehem." Entering then
into the plot of the Cantata, it presents the shepherds in their night
watch, the message of the angel to the shepherds, the call to worship
the new-born King, and the guiding of the star. Finally it gives, in the
closing selection, "The Chorus of the Skies," the message that as the
men of old followed the guiding star to where the Christ child lay, we,
too, may be led to Him. It concludes with:
Male Chorus
Opens Season
The Bethel Male Chorus pre-sented
their annual fall concert at
Central Baptist Church, Tuesday,
December 7, under the direction of
Professor Nels Stjernstrom, and
accompanied by Wilbur Ericson.
The program was divided into
three groups of three numbers
each and included "When Morning
Guilds the Skies," "In the Storm,"
"Joshue Fit de Battle," "Bird in
the Linden Tree," "Brother Sing
On," "Jolly Fellows," "Friend-ship,"
"Home Sweet Home," and
closed with "The Lord's Prayer."
The Male Quartet, David Daniel-son,
Lloyd Nordstrom, Gunnar
Hoglund, and Roger Youngquist,
sang two groups of selected num-bers,
and Miss Priscilla Grege
played a medley of hymns on the

given by Dr. Henry Wingblade,
president, and Rev. Eric Ander-son,
pastor, made a few remarks.
"The house was filled to capac-ity,
and there was a substantial

the Male Chorus trip next
spring," said Gunnar Hoglund,
president of the chorus. He also
stated that the members are now

This is another in a series of in-terviews
of interesting students
attending Bethel.
A striking personality at school
this year is Leroy Gardner, negro
athlete, pre-ministerial student,
and gifted artist.
Born in Wichita, Kansas, Leroy
has lived seventeen years in St.
Paul. While he was very young
he lost his mother, and living in a
tough section of town he soon be-came
a victim of circumstance and
environment. Being a juvenile de-linquent,
he was sentenced for six
years to the Redwing Reformatory
for his misdemeanors.
Leroy made his confession for
the Lord during his twelfth year,
but it was during his confinement
at Redwing that he called upon
God to help him better his con-dition
and promised that his fut-ure
work would be dedicated to
His service. Being exceptionally
well-behaved and diligent in his
studies, the authorities made ar-rangements
for Leroy's release
within a year. Then a second ter-rible
blow was struck. His father
passed away. Fortunately a friend,
Mrs. Hagan, decided to care for
Under her care Leroy began his
readjustment to a world he had
left a year ago. He worked at the
Armour Meat Packing Company in
South Saint Paul as a butcher.
Last summer while working as a
life guard at the Union Gospel
Mission Camp at Snail Lake, he
was persuaded by Mrs. Hagan,
who is a member of the Baptist
church, to come to Bethel.
When he was asked what he
thought of Bethel and what his
future plans were Leroy answered,
"The spiritual insight is wonder-ful.
Daily I attain a more personal
conception of Christianity. The

The members of the B. W. A.
gathered at 2:30 on the afternoon
of Thursday, December 9, for
their annual Christmas program.
It was held in the girl's dormitory
reception room which was espec-ially
festive with the big Christ-mas
tree and other holiday de-corations.
Refreshments were
served and included the special
treat of Scandinavion "spritz"
cookies made by Miss Johnson.
The meeting was in charge of
Esther Ingebretson, cabinet leader
for the month of December. She
led the group in singing "Joy to
the World," after which Eunice
Anderson read from the 98th
Psalm and led in prayer.
A Christmas reading was given
by Lois Thomas in expositidn of
some old carols which were pre-sented
in trios by Gloria Ander-sonT
Miriam Nelson, and Mildred
Engberg, and in solos by Gloria
Anderson and Joan Ludke (the
latter is a member of Gloria Mit-chell's
Sunday school class.) A
violin solo was played by June
Andergon. Jane Larson and Ruth
Rask were the pianists.
A timely poem, "Christmas, 19-
43" was read by Lorene Janssen.

From Our President ..
Sharing the Christmas Spirit
Merry Christmas to all the Bethel Family! When we say Merry
Christmas and really mean it, we put into those words our hearts's deep
desire that others shall enjoy to the full the Christ of Christmas. And
if we really do mean it that way, then the fact will be that the more
those others have joy—the greater will be our joy.
We recall the business man who felt himself growing sour, and upon
self-analysis he discovered that he was jealous of other men's success.
At once he made a two-fold resolution, namely, that when another man
had a promotion or accomplished something unusual he would do two
things within twenty-four hours: he would congratulate that man on his
attainment and tell at least two others about it.
The result was that he entered into the success and joy of others
and consequently his own joy was made full. We read of- the Christ
that—"For joy that was set before him he endured the cross." There
we have the joy of sharing—to an infinite degree.
The Christ that is not shared is the Christ that is lost. God never
gave us anything to keep for ourselves—only to pass on. And then the
miracle and the paradox—the more we pass on of Christ, the more we
have left.
Yes, Christ intended all of us to live fountain lives—not stagnant
pools; rivers of living waters, not dead seas. For our Christ is too in-finitely
great to hold or to withhold. He just must overflow.
Editorial Comment .. .
"Glorified High School"?
We have heard that there have been some reverberations about
the comment in the last issue of the Clarion which said, "Bethel is
a glorified high school." The wisdom of printing such a statement
was doubted, and this is written in defense of our action.
I am sure that the most serious-minded students of Bethel are in
hearty agreement with what was said, and feel that criticism such
as that should not be suppressed but rather be encouraged.
It is not Bethel's reputation that is being put in an unfavorable
light. That is inviolable. Her standards, ideals, fine scholastic records
of the past, and the outstanding men that she has graduated are above
the level of critical comment. All these things are the real Bethel—the
House of God.
Shall we say rather that she has taken on the semblance of a high
school because of those who have assumed the name of Bethelites
this year, her students: Isn't that true? How many of us act as if we
were of college age? Perhaps it is the lack of seriousness and of
application, and the absence of a desire for learning that suggests im-maturity
and high-schoolishness.
Fellow students, what is your attitude towards this subject? Do
you agree or disagree with this editorial comment? We will be glad
to print your arguments. C.E.R.

A little boy gazed longingly at
a picture of his absent father. He
turned to his mother and said "I

What we want more than the
picture is the person. We look
at the picture of God in nature
and are grateful and admiring, but
our hearts are not satisfied.
Mother Nature is not a mother but
a picture of God. If God would
only step out of the impersonal
picture and meet us as a person!
"Why must we have a personal
God? Won't principles do?" A-baby
is crying! We approach to
comfort, "I'm giving you the prin-ciple
of motherhood. I'm giving
you a picture in words of mother
with her love and care." But the
tears are not dried and the broken
heart is not comforted. But the
mother comes and the tears are
wiped away. The principle be-comes
a person.
But the Father has stepped out
of the picture. He did on Christ-mas
Eve many years ago. "And
the Word became flesh and dwelt
among us." The Idea of God be-came
personal and thinkable be-cause
Jesus came to show us the
Father. "Immanuel-God with us"
was His name. Surely the mystery
of godliness was great; God was
manifest in the flesh. He satis-fied
the yearning of the human
heart by becoming a Person who
loves, who feels, who understands.
As scientists can analyze a tiny
sunbeam and find in it the exact
chemical makeup of the vast sun,
so we look at the life and char-acter
of Jesus and know what
God's character is like.
God is Christlike. We have the
advantage that all the ideas of

No one has decided yet whether

got the best of the deal, though,

Now that Thanksgiving vacation
is over, and I have stretched my
flu vacation out as long as pos-sible,
I have practically nothing to
do but attend classes. This to
you may seem horrible, but as
Christmas vacation is almost here,
I will bear up under the strain.
I have heard it said at Christ-mas,
"It is more blessed to give
than to receive." If any' person
knew my financial status, he
would reverse the decision. In
fact, the last time I opened my
billfold, it sneered and said, "Are
you kidding?"
But I never let Christmas bother
me. I just return to my relatives
the multi-colored ties that I got
last year. I was pretty mad when
I got a tie with an NRA code on
it, but I laughed when I saw my
brothers'. His has a sticker which

The flu "bugs" have made a
very noticeable invasion of the
men's dormitory. There were as
many as 13 of the residents down
at one time but all have recovered
or are getting better now.
Yeah, the flu epidemic has sure-ly
hit the men's dorm. To see
some of the fellows try to walk
you'd think this was an Old
People's Home.
We discovered that if a fellow
has a temperature, don't try to
cool him off by giving him ice
cream—ask Gen e Johnson—but,
once, or rather the relation had
one. I got to play with it when
it was so old it had to be pushed
around the track.
My BB gun worked the same
way, but is didn't matter so much,
because Robin season doesn't Open
until June, and Uncle Oscar had
given it back by then.
Well, I still like Christmas, even
if I did- rind out there was no San-ta
Claus last year. I guess I've ex-hausted
my topic—Christmas. So,
I'll sign off by saying. HAPPY

"A Son Is Given"
Minnesota makes many claims • for itself and I don't believe there
is a person that has seen the recent sunrises who will dispute their
beauty here in this state. The students in classroom 109 in the Sem-inary
during the first hour get a beautiful view of this event.
But to me it became more of a sunrise on Dec. 1. All was dark at
8:00 when we entered, but blazing bright at 8:55, and what happened
between was glorious both to the natural and spiritual vision. •
Dark, cold fingers of cloud drifted eastward with seemingly no
beauty at all; when, suddenly, as though kindled by fire, the black,
ominous fingers of doom became brilliant livid fingers of hope. They
were definite indications of something great, but soon the light dis-peared
and all became drab and a note or feeling of expectancy
prevailed as the cloud fingers passed on.
But behold! another event is transpiring. More clouds have come
into position but not fingers this time—rather whole bodies and, more
suddenly than before, they shine forth. The color is not red and pink
now but a brilliant white as if it were the formal announcement. Sus-pense
grows and every eye awaits the sun's emergence. Gradually it
appears, very humbly at first but how majestic it becomes, and how
glorious as it rises in the heavens. So bright that none can see it.
With this picture before our eyes and a lecture on Old Testament
prophecy on our ears, how can the narrative help but complete the
On the dark scene of world civilization comes the light of prophetic
messages. They are few at first but how rapidly the number grows and
soon the entire backdrop of the past blazes forth with the undeniable
story of Him.
But then, as on this morning of Dec. 1, the scene changes and there
is no direct reflection, only the fathomless aqua and blue of the bright-ening
sky. The 400 silent years are on with no prophet to proclaim
the event—only the continuing Light of those gone before.
Suddenly as the light appeared again, so came the heavenly host
with the message of hope that man sought for. The Messiah has come
and man asks 'Where is He?" No sooner is it asked than it is answered
as all eyes turn to the horizon and see the actuality. There in the
East, in Bethlehem, lay the humble, yet divine Son of God.
But here He did not remain. See, now, as He is lifted up and the
glory of His majesty shines forth. Who, now, can look on His glorious
face and, turing to the world see any pleasure in low things. No, He
is up there now and so let us fix our eyes on things above, not on things
