Dramatic Chipmunk
Dramatic Chipmunk (a.k.a "Dramatic Prairie Dog") is a short video clip featuring a sharp-eyed prairie dog from the Japanese TV Show Hello! Morning. Since its upload via YouTube in June 2007, the animal became most notable for its dramatic expression and theatrical demeanors, in similar vein to OMG cat and Inception cat.
Techno Viking
The Technoviking was made famous due to a video that included a blue-haired girl dancing, then being crashed into by some unruly man during the Fuckparade 2000 (a techno street-parade in Berlin Germany). This caused Technoviking to forcefully grab the offending man by his arms and shove him back into the crowd. Technoviking then pointed at the man and gave him an extremely fierce gaze. An aura of dominance emanated from Technoviking, causing the man to step down from confrontation. Technoviking then started dancing wildly through the streets after being handed a water from one of his many dancing minions.
Miss USA
Lauren Caitlin Upton is a beauty queen from South Carolina, US, who is best known for her incoherent response to a question asked during the Miss Teen USA 2007 pageant.
I Like Turtles
I Like Turtles is a popular catchphrase uttered by Jonathan Ware, a ten-year-old boy who was visiting the Rose Festival in Portland, Oregon on May 31st, 2007. While at the fair, Jonathan had his face painted to look like a zombie and soon caught the attention of Nancy Francis, a local news correspondent for KGW NewsChannel 8. But when Nancy approached the boy for comments, Jonathan's face-paint was the last thing on his mind--because Jonathan likes turtles.

Insect bites and stings can cause an immediate skin reaction. The bite from fire ants and the sting from bees, wasps, and hornets are usually painful. Bites caused by mosquitoes, fleas, and mites are more likely to cause itching than pain.
Insect and spider bites cause more deaths from poisoning than bites from snakes.
Bee sting; Bites - insects, bees, and spiders; Black widow spider bite; Brown recluse bite; Flea bite; Honey bee or hornet sting; Lice bites; Mite bite; Scorpion bite; Spider bite; Wasp sting; Yellow jacket sting
In most cases, bites and stings can be easily treated at home.
Some people have extreme reactions that require immediate medical treatment to prevent death.
Certain spider bites, such as the black widow or brown recluse, can be serious and life-threatening. Most spider bites, however, are harmless. If bitten by an insect or spider, bring it for identification if this can be done quickly and safely.
Symptoms depend on the type of bite or sting. They may include:
Some people have severe, life-threatening reactions to bee stings or insect bites. This is called anaphylactic shock. This condition can occur very quickly and lead to rapid death if not treated quickly.
Symptoms of anaphylaxis can occur quickly and affect the whole body. They include:
For severe reactions:
General steps for most bites and stings:
Remove the stinger by scraping the back of a credit card or other straight-edged object across the stinger. Do not use tweezers -- these may squeeze the venom sac and increase the amount of venom released.
Call 911 of your local emergency number if someone with a sting has the following symptoms:
If you had a severe, body-wide reactions to a bee sting, your doctor should send you to an allergist for skin testing and therapy. You should receive an emergency kit to carry with you wherever you go.

We evaluated 28 travel mugs* for temperature retention, leak- and spill-resistance, stability, comfort while drinking, ease of opening with one hand, ease of washing, and durability. Fill your mug up with delicious brew with one of these top GHRI-tested coffeemakers.
*Note: Two mugs are no longer available in stores and therefore not included below.
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
Thermos Nissan Tea Tumbler with Infuser, 14 ounces ($23)
Pros: The Thermos Nissan Tea Tumbler with Infuser has excellent insulation, which keeps coffee or tea piping hot for hours and iced drinks chilled. The mug comes with a removable mesh infuser for steeping hot tea on the go.
Con: A screw-on plastic cap must be removed in order to sip, which requires two hands.
(In smoke, stainless steel, and espresso; thermos.com)
Oxo Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug, 12 ounces ($22)

Con: The wide shape of the mug can make it slightly awkward to hold. (In stainless steel; oxo.com)
Contigo Autoseal Stainless Steel Travel Mug, 16 ounces ($20)
Pro: The Contigo Autoseal Stainless Steel Travel Mug has a feature that opens the sipping mechanism with the press of a button; when the button is released the mechanism closes, providing a leak-proof seal.

Pros: A large plastic handle makes it easy to grasp the Starbucks Stainless Miller Tumbler in the car. A flap on the lid lifts up for sipping and latches back into place to prevent leaks and spills.

(In black, chrome, mocha, green tea, paprika, and lavender; liquidplanet.com)
Zak Stainless Steel Coffee Tumbler, 16 ounces ($16)

This series of documents introduces Joomla! to people who have not previously used it. This introduction aims to help you make the best use of the series.
There are two versions in common use:-
There are many similarities between the versions. They are presented separately to newcomers to Joomla! in order to present 'hands-on' material with clarity. This is the introduction to version 1.5. There is a separate series for version 1.6, as yet incomplete.
The series is for anyone who wants to use Joomla! at a number of levels. Its main focus is:-
At the start of each article there is an indication of who it is aimed at and, on occasions, about the pitfalls for the inexperienced or unwary.
Some more detail about the intended readership
Joomla! is introduced using detailed 'hands-on' instructions about adding, altering and manipulating content. At the same time, general points about Joomla! are made which are intended to help people to learn more and do more. As the tasks require more background knowledge, so there are fewer hands-on instructions and more general pointers to the extensive documentation available for Joomla!
The series divides into four parts:-
You must have the use of a Joomla! Web site to use 'hands-on' instructions. There are three possibilites:-
Start here no matter what your previous experience. Articles are the building blocks of any Joomla! Web site and everyone needs to know the basics of how to edit and create them. And doing this helps you to understand the inner workings of Joomla!
These are aimed at helping everyone who wants to learn more about articles and managing them from the main Site, also called the Front-end.
There is a distinction between the mechanics of setting up a new site and the things you need to know before you set up a site. There is often a trial and error process involved in doing this, with muddle and frustration as a result. The problem is that you cannot design a site without knowing some background: and it is often easiest to learn the background by using a site. So this series presents the background to understanding how Joomla! sites work separately from the mechanics of creating a site. It emphasises that some initial thought can save hassle later.
These are hands-on documents to familiarise you with designing a new site. The background is separate so that the flow of creating the site is not interrupted by asides. The background is aimed at helping you to understand what is going on, whether you have a large or a small site.
This covers the mechanics of creating new content and appearance of a simple site, using core Joomla! facilities.
The work is not done even when a site is set up and there are people adding and altering the content. There are some day-to-day tasks that need attention, as well as minor alterations to the site.
There is more to learn about Joomla.

Located on 32 acres just west of the downtown campus, Haymarket Park is a one-of-a-kind facility. Bowlin Stadium, the 2004 SportsTurf Managers Association Field of the Year, is part of the complex that was built for nearly $30 million in 2001.
Bowlin Stadium can accommodate up to 2,500 fans. It features 750 chairback seats with an up-close view of the action, as well as berm seating behind both dugouts and in the outfield and bleacher seating on the first base concourse. The complex also includes a newly redesigned locker room and players' lounge, coaches' offices and workout facility, medical and laundry facilities and a spacious, two-level press box. A new videoboard was added during the 2012 season.
The Huskers have won more than 70 percent of their games at Bowlin Stadium thanks to support from the home fans. Nebraska has ranked in the top 10 nationally in attendance in six of the 11 seasons since Bowlin Stadium opened. In 2004, the Big 12 champion Huskers ranked fourth nationally with an average attendance of 955 fans per game.
Bowlin Stadium has allowed Nebraska to serve as an NCAA Regional host in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2013. The largest crowd in school history was 1,960 against Texas on April 9, 2011.
Located down the right-field line with private access to the field is the Bowlin Stadium Clubhouse. Inside the clubhouse is the Huskers' locker room, a players' lounge, coaches' offices and medical and laundry facilities.
Each player has her own locker in the spacious locker room. Individual privacy
doors were added in the summer of 2010, along with photos of each player above
her locker. The locker room also features a surround-sound music system and
private shower stalls.
The players' lounge features a flat-screen television and comfortable, leather
seating for players to relax in before and after practices or games. The
players' lounge also includes displays highlighting Nebraska's All-Americans,
along with the Huskers' seven Women's College World Series teams.
The Alex Gordon Training Complex was completed in the fall of 2011 at a cost of $4.75 million. The facility was specifically designed for baseball and softball and has 18,000 square feet of climate-controlled practice space that allows for working on all phases of the game. The space can be configured to utilize as many as six spacious batting cages.
The cages can also be retracted to open up all of the 120-foot by 150-foot space for live game simulation. The entire facility is netted, allowing for the Huskers to take live batting practice. The field turf surface looks and feels like real grass, and the field includes anchors to lock down bases for use during practices.
It was renamed the Alex Gordon Training Complex following a $1 million donation from the Alex Gordon Family.

Mentor Graphics Announces New Bit-Accurate C++ Datatypes that Accelerate Algorithm Validation by 10x
WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 27, 2006 – Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced the availability of Algorithmic C™ datatypes, new high-speed datatypes based on ANSI C++. These arbitrary-bit-width datatypes enable algorithm, system and hardware designers to precisely model bit-true behavior in C++ specifications while accelerating simulation speeds by 10-200x. Mentor Graphics{reg} is making the new C++ datatypes immediately available to the electronics designers and electronic design automation (EDA) tool vendors free of charge at http://www.mentor.com/products/c-based_design/download/ac_datatypes.cfm.
Arbitrary Bit Widths and Fast Simulation
Algorithm and system designers need to specify bit widths to create bit-accurate models used for system and algorithm validation. Previous bit-width specifications require one of two compromises: designers must either use native processor precision (64-bits for integer), requiring them to truncate the results and thus introduce artificial corner cases; or they must create a model using an arbitrary bit width resulting in much slower simulation speeds.
Based on universal standard ANSI C++, the new integer and fixed-point Algorithmic C datatypes offer the best of both worlds, allowing algorithm and system designers to specify arbitrary bit widths while improving simulation performance by 10-200x versus other datatypes such as SystemC. Arbitrary bit widths are also critical for high-level synthesis, as they allow hardware designers to make tradeoffs between hardware size and numerical precision. For example, a hardware designer would use arbitrary bit widths to explore tradeoffs in area, performance, or power versus image quality in a video application.
"By offering efficient fixed-point C++ datatypes, Mentor is adding a valuable link in the C-to-RTL design chain. Mentor's open standard enables Catalytic's hardware synthesis users to conduct faster algorithm validation as they convert their floating-point MATLAB descriptions to fixed-point ANSI C++ models, and ensure bit-width precision throughout the entire implementation flow," said Dave Burow, president and CEO of Catalytic.
Consistent, Intuitive Semantics Ensure Ease of Use
The new Algorithmic C datatypes also solve problems of semantic consistency inherent in previous datatypes. The semantics of Algorithmic C datatypes are intuitive for users familiar with ANSI C++, enabling designers to become proficient in just one day. In contrast, there is a semantic divide in SystemC between the limited precision datatypes (sc_int or sc_fixed_fast), and the arbitrary precision datatypes (sc_bigint or sc_fixed). Proficiency in one datatype does not ensure familiarity with the others, making it error prone to adjust bit-width in a given design. Consequently, one must invest significant effort to master the coding style of both datatypes in order to employ them in an optimal design implementation.
"The Algorithmic C data types improve the ability of designers to move between different levels of abstraction, while minimizing inconsistencies and ambiguities when a design is transformed from algorithm to implementation," said Venkat Krishnaswamy, vice president of Applications Engineering & Services, Calypto Design Systems. "Calypto's customers are interested in bridging the gap between System and RTL for verification as well as implementation. This is a welcome technology to reduce that gap, making ESL design and verification more viable."
Mentor Graphics will offer a suite seminar on the new AC Datatypes at the 43rd Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, July 24-27. To register, please go to www.mentor.com .

2 Not sure....janet67 | 17/05/2008 | See all janet67's reviews (18)I began reading this in School yesterday and I didn't like it. I know I have only read a chapter but its scary! I cheated and read the end chapter and din't like the ending at all. I won't give it away! I would recommend this book to older people and I don't think we should be studying this book so early on in School. I will probably get used to it though.
5 BeautifulSophocles | 04/03/2009 | See all Sophocles's reviews (3)This book is such a beautiful, moving novel. Wow. Its written so carefully. Steinbeck has created literary perfection here. This is definately a book worth reading.
4 Great...!GadgetGeek87 | 07/08/2008 | See all GadgetGeek87's reviews (5)I read this book during my school years, great story line and the characters are well thought out - film is good to :) I've recently ordered this book and can't wait to read it again.

CIGARETTES will be sold in plain packages from January 2012 as Australia's prime - minister,
Kevin Rudd introduces the world's most draconian anti-smoking laws in a move likely to spark a legal challenge from big multi-national tobacco companies.
The new laws will prohibit the use of tobacco industry logos, colours, brand imagery or promotional text of tobacco product packaging.
Brand names and product names will have to be displayed in a standard colour, font style and position under the new laws.
The government is planning the measure to cut the attractiveness of the packaging to young people to further cut smoking rates.
The measure has been strongly opposed by tobacco companies who have forshadowed legal action, arguing plain packaging breaches trademark law and amounts to confiscation of property.
The move is part of a Rudd government plan to cut smoking rates to 10 per cent or less of the adult population by 2018.

quote:I do believe relationships win out when in doubt. People buy from people. If you work well and trust each other, then business runs much smoother and you get repeat business.
quote:There is a point here that I think some in sales miss. Building a personal relationship with customers as described by a few in the thread is great, but I've found that it's more important to build a business relationship and professional trust. I've seen plenty of "superstar" reps with one vendor make bold claims about how many customers they would bring with them when they move to another vendor, but then fail because those personal relationships do not translate to business.
quote:Like it or not, the Internet & other forms of mass media has changed the way business is being done. Customers can instantly find a comparable product or service very easily, sometimes at a lower price. Service is going to be your trump card.
quote: Solid post, what market are you in currently?
quote:Oh and Don't take vacation, I have 80% market penetration and still pick up business hand over fist in July and August.
quote:Does anyone use 'social media' like Facebook or something else to promote their products/services? If so, how have you gone about doing it? TIA
quote:Also I enrolled in a personality analysis seminar where the DISC method of recognizing the personality traits of a prospective customer and how best to sell to each personality (or how to manage employees within their basic personality) was a paradigm shift for me in my personal development. Once you know the personality of a prospect, you use that knowledge to allow the prospect to sell himself.

The inspiration for the design of this logo came from a personal feeling of what documentaries should be. The focus of the documentaries at this film festival are to affect us emotionally into how we feel about the happenings in the world around us.
Therefore, the logo should also draw us in via the same emotions.
From the view of the documentary makers, although the aim of their bodies of work is get a message across, or reveal details on a pressing issue to the world, they are very much a personal product. They are projects that the filmmakers will hold very dear to their heart, and feel very strongly about the subject being documented. They are often rough, grainy and gritty final products, but throughout it all, the message is delivered firmly and to the point.
The logo therefore must in a way get across the feel of a documentary. This design is both gritty and rough, yet reveal that behind it all there is a clear message. That what is revealed within these films is a message we should, and hopefully will care very strongly about.

OK kids - I am still trying to get gallery remote to work on my mac - I am getting this error message when I try to log in (after setting up the blufftontoday url)....
Invalid username/password. If your Gallery is embedded inside a CMS like PostNuke, you need to use the "native" (non-embedded) Gallery URL to log in, as well as the native GAllery user and password. You can test these by trying to go the native URL and trying to log in.
Any suggestions as to how to work this out?

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Testers liked the styling of this coat, which comes with a patterned lining and detachable hood. Some did, however, think that the sizing was a bit big. The fabric didn't do the best job of repelling water, though, and once wet, the coat took 20 minutes to dry.

Il barbiere di Siviglia
Act One
Count Almaviva has fallen in love with Rosina, Doctor Bartolo's ward, a girl of no rank - so much so that he would even risk mésalliance. What he does not know yet is how to win her heart.
We find him wandering outside Bartolo's well-guarded residence, but all he can achieve with his serenade given with an occasional band is to awaken the whole household. It is at this moment when Figaro appears. The profession of a barber is hardly more than an excuse for him to go in and out of houses, deliver messages from ladies to gentlemen, solve problems, make business, complicate lives and loves… and collect coins given as a tip. Figaro is a frequent visitor in Bartolo's house, so only a little trick is needed to assist the Count closer to his aim. Disguised as a poor student called Lindoro, the Count declares his love to Rosina, but does not have the chance to hear the long-awaited answer because the serenade arranged by Figaro is disturbed.
Bartolo hears the news that Count Almaviva is in the city; and has the feeling that something is wrong around the house. He decides to marry Rosina - and her dowry - the very same day, and hurries to Basilio. Figaro also sets to work and makes new plans: he is about to disguise Count Almaviva as a drunken soldier and get him inside the house with the help of a faked billet.
The enamoured Rosina is determined to do anything she can to rid herself of Bartolo and his house. She writes a letter to Lindoro offering her love and asking to be saved. But how could she deliver the message to a young man she does not know? Figaro appears and hides in the room where he overhears a conversation between Basilio and Bartolo. Calling himself a 'maestro', Basilio is willing to do anything for money, including slander and swindle. He and Bartolo decide to construct the marriage certificate at once, and contract the marriage that very day. Figaro informs Rosina about all this, and departs to deliver the letter to the Count.
Bartolo discovers that the girl has been carrying on a secret correspondence; he lists undeniable evidence one after the other, but Rosina, scared of nothing, perseveres and is unwilling to admit it - Bartolo bursts with anger.
Almaviva, disguised as an intoxicated soldier, rushes into Bartolo's house demanding to be quartered. However tricky the girl is, and however determined Almaviva may be, Bartolo will not give in. Passions flare, the Count loses temper and makes a rush at Bartolo - even Figaro cannot calm him down. Hearing the wrangle, patrolling policemen turn up unexpectedly. They arrest the Count and are about to take him to prison. There is no way out: Almaviva reveals his identity to the officer. He is astonished, shocked, then scared - the Count is set free. No one understands the situation, and confusion explodes.
Almaviva, who is dressed as a music teacher, turns up in the doctor's house insisting that he has come to give a music lesson to Rosina instead of the ailing Basilio. To dispel Bartolo's suspicion, the Count hands the girl's letter over to him. He claims to have come across it by chance, and suggests that it should be a most suitable means for discrediting Almaviva. In spite of all this, Bartolo decides to be present at the singing lesson. He is not deterred even by the fact that the only time when Figaro can shave him is that very moment. The clever barber takes advantage of the situation by filching the key of Rosina's balcony. Less comforting is the fact that Basilio enters unexpectedly. Only arguments as heavy as the Count's purse can make him leave. In spite of this, Bartolo exposes the careless lovers, and drives them out of the room.
The doctor, who is afraid of another trick, sends Basilio for the notary so that the marriage could soon be carried through. Bartolo shows Rosina the ominous letter to convince her that Lindoro is a false-hearted and deceitful man who wants to hand her over to Count Almaviva. Rosina is so distressed that he agrees to marry her guardian, and reveals to him Figaro's plans concerning her elopement. While Bartolo runs away for the police in the stormy night, the Count and the barber climb through the window to confront a desperate and exasperated Rosina.
The misunderstandings are immediately cleared up when 'Lindoro' exposes himself - and the guardian's intrigue; he convinces the girl that the poor student and the powerful Count Almaviva are the same person. The happy lovers now manage to take advantage of Bartolo's trap.The notary, arriving in the decisive moment, soon marries them, and Basilio's corruptness also proves to be beneficial - only the threat of a pistol is needed. The singing tutor thus becomes a witness who verifies the signing of Almaviva and Rosina's marriage contract. Naturally it is his employer, arriving too late with the policemen, who has to be disappointed.

A Charrette for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works
In August 2000, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works announced the creation of a new Watershed Management Division, among whose goals are the promotion of progressive watershed policies, the encouragement of research and the dissemination of information. Shortly afterward, interest developed in transforming the department's own Alhambra headquarters parking lot from an urban heat island into a demonstration of watershed best management practices (BMPs).
The department turned to TreePeople to organize and lead an ad hoc team to generate designs and enthusiasm for the parking lot retrofit. At two intensive sessions, teams of department engineers, landscape architects and TreePeople consultants set criteria for the parking lot retrofit, then produced a series of designs to meet them. At a public presentation of the work, then DPW Assistant Director Don Wolfe praised the teams' efforts and wholeheartedly endorsed the retrofit project.
A necessary earthquake retrofit of the department's headquarters caused implementation delays and the project has yet to be realized. But, when it is, it will bring the lot into compliance with Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) regulations, which require the retention and treatment of a storm's first 3/4" of precipitation. More importantly, it will be a testing ground for new watershed management techniques and a classroom for potential implementers. It will also be a much nicer place to park.

V The College News VOL. XIX, No. 2 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1932 PRICE 10 CENTS Socialist Platform Opposes Capitalism Change in Economic System is Proposed to Alleviate Overproduction ADVOCATES LOW TARIFF (Especially Contributed by Elizabeth Kindleberger, Chairman of the Socialist Committee) Most people approach the question of the November elections as if the choice were one between men only. The really significant choice, I think, is between the three or four parties and the two economic systems which they represent. A vote for the Democratic or Re- publican parties is a vote for the status quo, for a system or a lack of it, under which tremendous waste, graft, profits and poverty, overpro- duction and underconsumption, crime, insanity, ugliness and starvation are all taken for granted. If the misery and ugliness of such a situation can- not make one weep, the inefficiency of it should. The trouble with the Democrats and the Republicans is that they have never stopped to ask themselves the vi- tal question, "What is an economic system for?" The answer is simple; to provide its members with adequate Food, shelter and clothing, and with leisuin 111 "which to search for beauty and truth and fun. The two con- servative parties see no community responsibility for providing for all. They accept it as axiomatic that the strong should take of the country's wealth more than they can use and enjoy, while the weak exist in second- hand houses (slums), wear second- hand clothing and, happily, by as- siduous attendance at bread lines, eat enough to keep from starving. But this is merely heartless. What is unforgivable in the con- servative is his untidy thinking. He believes, sincerely I think, that it is possible for an owning class to or- ganize its factories for mass produc- tion, sit on all the available money, and then sell goods. He believes it is possible for thousands of greedy little capitalists, each looking only to his own profit, somehow to provide the country with just what it needs, in just the proper quantity and at a fair price. He believes it is possible to have the economic power of the country under the dual control of busi- ne-" men and politicians without their mutual corruption. He believes it is possible to keep at peace amidst an anarchy of nations economically in- terdependent. He believes, our con- servative, or pretends to believe, that it is possible to collect war debts from a penniless nation from which it will buy nothing. Worse still, he has the effrontery to pretend that his crazy ideas are the axioms of all so- ber, "right-thinking" citizens, that capitalism, as we know it, is some- thing more than a mere upstart less than a century and a half old, and that man never does anything except for his own money profit. It is enough to make one lose one's temper. I "But what," you have been trying to interrupt me all this time to say, "what will the Socialists do about all this if they get into power, which they won't. Why should I 'waste my vote' voting the Socialist ticket when Hoover (or Roosevelt) seems to me a_ Httle _ more fit for the job than Roosevelt (or Hoover) ?" The answer is that America needs a third party, to which those like you who do not believe in the status quo can turn, and you must "waste your vote" for a number of years if it is to be built. The British labor party was not built in a day. The Social- ist pfcrty in America is a fit nucleus for such a party because it starts its reasoning from a sensible point of view; it asks, "What is an economic system for?" And its answer is, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap- piness, peace and economic security." It insists that gooda^ahoqliLbe pro_ (Continued on flh --- .

Merion Cricket Club Scores 3-2 Victory Varsity's Offensive Game Bet- ter Than Usual, But For- ward Line Weak PROSPECTS ARE BETTER Varsity again went down to defeat in the second game of the season with the Merion Cricket Club by the close score, 3-2. -A perfect autumn day; hlue, crisp, and riotous with color, made the game a pleasure to watch, and, although the team did not func- tion as well as might be expected, the future prospects seem brighter. The shadow of the French Oral cast its effect on several of the play- ers �� but, on the whole, the game evinced greater prospects for the fu- ture than that of last week. One no- tices, however, that the lack of unity, which has been characteristic of Var- sity playing for the last few years, is still with us. This is due, perhaps, to the raggedness of the offense which through lack of practice, has not yet begun to co-ordinate fully. In the first half, Varsity played a much better offensive game than usual, but practice in shooting goals is badly needed. Many times the ball was run the length of the field, only to be lost in the circle because of poor or hasty aim. , The forward line, though faster than last week, is still weak in passing and receiving. Their atickwork is lamentable and the dodg- ing rarely successful. Considering the sources from which much of our pres- ent material has come, we are slight- ly surprised. In the second half, Townsend, an All-American, went in. for Tuttle at left inner. Her entrance encouraged the Merion forwards to put the of- fense. As a result, Varsity was again forced back to her usual defensive Kame and the brunt of the work fell on Bishop and Collier. Merion's goal in the later part of the half made the score 3-2 in their favor, and, until the final whistle blew, the playing merely see-sawed back and forth, neither team getting a real chance at a goal. The steady efficiency of Longacre and Bishop, the competent cage de- fense of Jackson, and the forcible passing and dribbling of Collier, ap- peared to be the best points of the Bryn Mawr team. We are not en- tirely without hope that, with fur- ther practice (providing the cloud- hurst has ceased) and more time to develop a forceful line, Bryn Mawr may yet become a winner.

With an announced intention of devoting but one week to preparation, the players have, in their first performance, accomplished much. Perhaps the highest praise should be given to the director, Miss Janet Mar- shall, for the choice of play, which in spots all but carried the actors with it by clever dialogue. On the other hand, the criticism might be made that more than a week was necessary to its preparation. The ��ast performed well only in spots and oach individual evidently had incipient paralysis of the arms*Jki4�h�n('s '� moments of great stress. The parts of Menelaus and Tsumu, the slave, gave the impression of greater acting ex- perience on the part of their portray- ers. Helena was well shown to be of the "baby vamp type" and more than beautiful but dumb. Perhaps the players should be reminded that when they are facing the rear of the stage their words must be much more dis- tinct for the audience to hear them. Then, too, when the production of "laughs" is the first aim of the play the actors must give the audience time to rise. The simplicity of stage-set was most effective and the costumes were excellently done. The whole, setting (Continued on Page Five) Second Varsity Plays Tie With Phila. Country Club Amid clashing sticks and feet stumbling over a scarcely visible ball, the Second Varsity tied the Phila- delphia Country Club, 3-3. Although the game was played mainly around the opponents' cage, Wetherill, center half for Philadel- phia, managed to keep the ball from going in. In the first half, Bennet, Bryn Mawr center forward, made a goal- in a rush following several un- successful attempts on the part of Camaday. Faeth also made a goal in a field run by Taggart, but it was cancelled because of off sides.

Michels comes to Bryn Mawr as Associate-Elect in the Physics Department with a back- ground of extensive work, both as a lecturer and as a research worker in his field. During the years 1927-1930 lie acted first as Teaching Assistant in Physics, later as Teaching Fellow in Physics at the California Institute of Technology, at Pasadena. For the past two years Dr. Michels has been National Research Fellow in Physics at Princeton University. His research is mainly in the field of electricity, and is particularly con- cerned with the problem of atomic ex- citation, relevant to the transfer of energy between electrons and atoms. His coming tp Bryn Mawr this par- ticular year helps in part to make up for the loss caused last spring by the retirement of Dr. Huff, physics pro- fessor here for thirty-three years. More than that, his addition to the faculty marks a valuable gain to the physics department, and to the college as a whole. "The greatest artist belongs to his � iwn country as the humblest singer," declared Dr. Ralph Vaughan Wil- liams, in Goodhart Hall, October 19, in the introductory address with which he began his Flexner lecture on "Nationalism in Music." Since mu- sic springs from something innate in human nature, perfection of form is as possible to primitive as to elab- orate musiofand folk song is a true, vital art." Many people agree with Whistler, Dr; Williams asserted, in considering a national art as absurd as a national chemistry. But art is a means of evoking personal experi- ence in terms which are intelligible to others and capable of arousing sym- pathy. Those artists who are most closely linked to their audiences by race, tradition, and cultural experi- ence�who are of the same national- ity�will arouse most sympathy. It is a mistake to call music a uni- versal language, for, although music does have a universal alphabet, it is the use of the vocabulary which counts, and this differs greatly from one people to another. As Sir Hu- bert Parry says, "True style comes not from the individual but from proud fellow workers," and hence, "Style is ultimately national," even though its appeal may be world-wide. For example, John Sebastian Bach, one of the world's three greatest com- posers, was inspired chiefly by the or- gan music of his predecessors and by the hymn tunes of his own people. A commonly held fallacy is the be- lief that an artist lives for himself alone. If the chief motive of an art- ist is the desire to make himself in- telligible to others, then he must clothe his music in whatever forms time and circumstances permit. An- other fallacy is the idea that genius springs from nowhere. On the con- trary, great men come at the end of a period, not at the beginning, when smaller men are finding new paths; Bach was a great composer because Germany had the "habit of music" and generations of lesser craftsmen had preceded him. Musical history repeats itself; the twentieth century is probably an experimental period like the seventeenth, in which the ground is being prepared for a great composer who will appear about 1985, in a country with the appropriate mu- sical atmosphere; for genius is a com- bination of the right man in the right place at the right time. Each generation wants something different and even the greatest music is not eternal; Bach is only now ap- preciated after a century and a half of neglect. The objection that na- tionalism limits the scope of music and prevents the use of the best from whatever source possible, is based on the assumption that there is an abso- lute good and bad. On the contrary, the idea of good and bad varies with hearer, period, and nationality, and no composer can be universally pop- ular who has not first appealed to his own countrymen. Although there are few great composers, there may be many sincere ones, who should emu late the great masters' surcness of purpose by first finding the message they have to tell, and then, if neces- (Contlnued -in Page Three) Straw Vote The News will conduct a straw vote on the Presidential election this week. Ballots will be placed on everyone's door on Thursday and collected on Friday, and the results an- nounced in next week's News. The editors would greatly ap- preciate it if all undergradu- ates would vote, so that the statistics may be complete.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KaleeJ Perfect for the every day run-around
I really love this bag because its a great size to take with you on a trip or to and from the gym/yoga studio… its fits right into your other bigger bag (gym bag, yoga bag, travel tote) but then easily becomes your purse when you are out and about and don't want to lug around a huge bag. The tassel gives it a bit of edge and character and it will hold all your necessities for a day of shopping or a night out.
The only thing I do wish it had is a little zipper pocket inside just for a tad bit of compartmentalizing - but other than that I love it.

I absolutely love this bag!! I made a 2014 resolution to try and go from not carrying such a big bag during the work week, and just try and carry essentials. So far this has helped!!!! The quality of the leather is soft and very classic looking. I carry a tote bag for work everyday with all my papers and products so this helped to eliminate having to TOTE both bags. It's a great run out the door bag. The tassel is adore alb and I get compliments everyday on this bag. I own it in black, but I may repurchase the pink one for spring/summer.

Choosing a Processor
The CPU (Central Processing Unit), or processor, is the nerve center of your computer, so it should be among your first purchases when building or updating your system. Key factors to consider when buying a CPU include speed and cost, so take into account how youll be using your computer. Are you just building or upgrading a basic system? Or maybe youre a computer enthusiast who plays games and loves outstanding multimedia entertainment?
Whether you need a powerful 64-bit processor, a mighty Pentium 4 or a games-crunching AMD Athlon 64FX-60, TigerDirect has the processor to meet your needs, with one of the worlds largest and most complete selections of both AMD and Intel CPUs of every type.
Because both AMD and Intel are constantly upgrading their products, you should select the fastest, most powerful processor for your budget, so it wont become obsolete as applications become more complicated and graphics-intensive. If youre only using your computer for things like web-surfing, email and word processing, though, you can get by with a less expensive yet highly efficient processor such as AMDs Sempron or Intels Celeron.
Youll want to make sure that the processor you get is compatible with the motherboard youll be using in your system. CPU-motherboard compatibility is determined by the type of socket the processor fits into. For example, Socket 754, Socket 939 and Socket 940 are designed to work with AMD processors, while Socket 478 and LGA Socket 775 are for Intel processors.
With its wide selection of CPUs, TigerDirect has the processor thats right for your system and budget. Youll also find a complete line of cooling fans to fit every type of processor.

In 1979 LifeWay began a camp that resulted in a movement. Centrifuge debuted that summer and a summer tradition began for many churches. The idea of a full-time staff who planned and led Bible study, team-building recreation, track times, worship and other camp elements proved to be wildly popular. Within just a few years Centrifuge would branch out from two original locations to places all around the country. In 1986, on the heels of Centrifuge's success a children's camp was begun. Crosspoint ministered to the needs of children through building sports skills.
By 1995 Centrifuge had become such a part of so many churches' summer plans that a new type of Centrifuge camp was needed. MFuge was born combining the most popular elements of Centrifuge with a missions focus. As MFuge grew to locations around the country the opportunity to go overseas presented itself and in 1998, MFuge International first began to carry MFuge campers to other countries. In 2000 CentriKid made its debut taking many of the popular elements of Centrifuge to create a camp experience for children.
In 2005 the FUGE family of camps continued to grow with the additions of XFuge and Combo Camp.
For 30+ years, over a million people have had the FUGE experience. FUGE campers through the years have raised millions of dollars for missions and thousands of lives have been changed. Your group can also be a part of the FUGE family of camps this summer. Call 1-877-CAMP-123 to learn more or to register for this summer!

OMG By Captain on 11/27/2013
Captain would recommend this product to a friendLove this pump! So quite and work so well. Was able to take two of my submersible pumps out of my sump and use this one pump to feed two reactors and return to my tank and still had to dial it down. When I first turned it on didn't know it was running if I didn't see the water moving. Any time I'm back in the market for a pump I know where I'm going first. -
Well designed pump By Joe on 6/19/2013
Joe would recommend this product to a friendThis pump is a little noisy (not a problem for my installation), but seems very efficient in moving water. However, after almost 4 years, the ceramic bearing in the pump seized up. Granted, I never once opened it up to clean, but it did not seem particularly dirty when I did. With some difficulty, I was able to push the ceramic spindle out of the impeller, but this resulted in damage to the rear casing, which I was able to find a replacement for for about $40 from Custom Aquatics (and others).
I did purchase a second one of these pumps at BRS, so I can use the repaired pump as backup now. I think they are well designed in build despite the only 4 years of service on the original. Just make sure to take them apart once a year and clean (gently) the ceramic bearing. -
