Wild Hibiscus Grommet Curtain
Love love love these curtains. They are beautiful!
Was very hesitant to make this purchase online but between the good reviews and option to return to store, I felt little risk. Bought 10 panels for a dining room and loved them so much decided to use 4 panels for the living room window where I can see them almost all day long. Yes they are not lined, but offer absolute privacy. Will be ordering cushions soon.

Great Quality and Beautifully made!
Great curtains! I love the pattern and the nice touch it gives my room! It's not thick enough to block the sunlight entirely, but if you get a second layer you will have no problem snoozing through the weekends. :)

Beautiful print, good quality and even nicer in person. I saw these in store and they were out of stock. Came home and ordered online. They'll bring a lot of character/ color to the room and I know I'll get a lot of wonderful compliments on them!

Great sale/great curtain
The curtains are substantial, but not too heavy or stiff. The pattern and colors are pleasing. Great purchase.

LOVE LOVE these curtains!
I would not have purchased these curtains from the online pictures because they look too busy. However, I bought them in the store and I LOVE them. I get a lot of compliments on them. They are not busy and they are a thick, linen type fabric but still let the light in when closed.

Beautiful curtains!
These curtains are beautifully made, and are of a great quality. I would recommend them to anyone!

Good, but product description not accurate
I was looking for a very ethnic indian looking curtain to add to my otherwise contemporary / modern bedroom; and I have been looking across the board at stores such as Bed Bath and Beyond and JCP's Martha Stewart collection. I found very similar looking prints in those stores as well; but the quality of the one sold at World Market is by far very superior and especially for the price.
However, I was expecting the curtains to come with lining (per the description) which it did not have. I would have returned it for that reason; but on putting it up - it still blocked out much of the sunlight and let the right amount of light to wake you up to a pleasantly lit bedroom scene. Our bedroom balcony faces east and can get very warm and sunny on a good day. This curtain did an amazing job. The set comes with a curtain tie which is a pleasant add on. Definitely recommend it.

Wish they were bigger but love the pattern!
The pattern on these curtains are beautiful. I realized because of the grommets, I needed them to be longer (You loose a couple inches to the grommets) so I ended up adding a stripe of fabric towards the bottom of the panel. It turned out very nice.
I wish the curtains were a little wider as well. I ended up ordering two more panels (4 total) so that they didn't have to be pulled so straight when the curtains are closed.
It would be nice if the curtains were lined but they do have a good weight to them as they are.

The controversy began Tuesday in Australia, when a very precise customer, identified as Matt Corby of Perth, ordered a footlong sub and then pulled out a tape measure. Corby found the sub measured only 11 inches long and took his outrage to Facebook, where he posted a photo of his sub alongside the tape measure on the company's page with the caption, "subway pls respond."
The page with Corby's photo appears to be no longer available on Facebook. Screengrabs taken of his image and reposted online show the photo quickly received more than 131,000 likes and thousands of comments.

Interior walls were eliminated and storage areas were recessed into the walls so that views from all living spaces would remain unobstructed and open.
The street-level entry was pared down and simplified, both inside and out, in order to emphasize its angular architecture.
The stair down to the lower level was also reorganized so that skyline views could be seen from the front door.

Architect Paul Mankins relished having carte blanche to renovate his twin brother's newly purchased home. The house enjoys a spectacular hilltop vista of San Francisco's skyline, but four decades of unfortunate remodels made it difficult to get past the bad taste to the great view. Hidden by haphazard changes were remnants of an original design by noted Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice Aaron Greene. Mankins says, "A lot of the solution was mainly getting rid of the bad stuff to get back to a more stylistic version of Greene's underlying order of strict 4-foot grids."
Two basic organizing boxes—one encased in brick and the other in yellow stucco—flank a glass entry zone. Mankins opened up the 44-foot-long interior along the rear of the building to create one continuous living area overlooking the view. Aluminum ceiling panels and pale area rugs atop the monolithic slate floor define zones within the large space. He also reoriented the stair and recessed upper kitchen cabinets into the walls to expose views from every corner. The jury felt the design strongly addressed renovation issues, saying, "It's an update different from, but in the spirit of, the original," and that the architect, "carried that idea all the way through—didn't miss a thing."

We are using this in our kitchen cabinet for our dinner dishes. It's really great and makes the cabinet look very organized. We happen to have very heavy expensive high quality William Sanoma dishes and this is so sturdy. Just wonderful!
This item is as it says it was. I was unable to use it for my original intended purpose as it would not hold as many pieces as I had envisioned. However, I placed it on a different shelf and my wife was thrilled with the additional space it created to allow for better organization of a cupboard.
I can now comfortably stack 8 dinner plates and 8 salad plates per shelf of the organizer. They are easy to put in and out, eliminating the problem of having to take something out just to get what I want. It is a great organizer and even looks good behind the glass windows of the cabinet doors.
Just spent $85K remodeling our kitchen so we wanted a quality cabinet organizing product - we purchases many of these and are very happy with them.
Wasn't that impressed. very flimsy. it's not even level. It's okay but would not purchase this again.
Great product.Especially because I have OCD that is off the charts
I used two of these racks in my kitchen corner cabinet, and put another shelf across both. The space is better utilized.
A very good product to save space on a kitchen shelf. I have my french bowls and two serving bowls in mine and it all works well. Since I'm only 5 foot, it is helpful to have easy assess to as many items on the first shelf as possible.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuela's military chief says President Hugo Chavez is experiencing "his best moment" following cancer-related surgery in December.
Chavez hasn't appeared or spoken publicly since before his Dec. 11 operation in Cuba for an unspecified type of pelvic cancer.
The government has said recently that Chavez's condition has been improving and that he has overcome a severe respiratory infection.
Defense Minister Diego Molero commented on the president's health on Sunday, following a prayer meeting for the socialist leader.

Coffee filter 'coloring' is something I really enjoy doing. The kids always have to beat me off so they get a chance to color the filters too *blushes*.
This is one of those crafts that's really simple for little kids (toddlers and preschool) but remains fun as you get older.
Note: You can complete this project using food colouring instead of washable markers. However! I find this option to
be very messy so would not do it with young children (if they get food colouring on their clothing you won't be able to get it out). I
would only use this option with children over age 10 and even then would want a good amount of supervision and old clothes to be worn.

Monday, July 1, 2013
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Andrew Ade, Westminster College associate professor of English, has written a play that will be staged July 25, 27 and 28 at the Midtown International Theater Festival in New York City.
Ade's play, A Question of Taste, follows the story of two African men of different generations who, although fighting the same cause of removing a ruthless dictator, engage in an ideological struggle that comes to tragic ends for themselves and for their people.
The hour-long, one-act play premiered at the Pittsburgh Playwrights Theater Company's 2007 Theater Festival in Black & White, where it won four awards, including Best Play. It later won the 2009 Arts & Letters Prize in Drama and was published in the spring 2010 issue of Arts & Letters: Journal of Contemporary Culture. It now heads to the Midtown International Theater Festival, a self-producing festival in which invited participants produce the shows while the festival provides the venues. Participants are also responsible for their own promotion and fundraising campaign.
"It has been wonderful to see it published," Ade said. "And now to have it done in New York is going to be quite a thrill."
Ade's script was inspired by figures and events in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country formally known as Zaïre, run by the notorious despot Mobutu Sese Seko. Ade was a firsthand witness to the oppression maintained by the dictatorship. He lived and worked there as a Peace Corps volunteer teacher after college, and closely followed the nation's subsequent turmoil of civil war after his return.
"The combination of the experiences I had while living there of the abuses of the system of the dictator made me very conscious of how despotic politics work. Leaving that country and having it fall into even greater chaos was very sad for me," Ade said. "I knew I wanted to write somehow about my experience, and because I was leaning toward the theater in terms of creative writing, I thought I could reach more people, and in a more profound way, by doing it on stage."
Ade continued, "I also wanted to create roles that African-American actors could play, because American theater doesn't have enough in terms of the canon of work for African Americans. I desperately wanted to do something to bring more roles to that community, because they are fantastic and I knew they would do tremendous work with it. So my desire was to do something for the theater community, but also to raise the issue to the audience about the chaos that comes from political overthrow in Africa and maybe give them an understanding of why it happens."
Participating in the New York festival is only one of Ade's many honors. Ade's one-act play, Language Barrier, also earned Best Play honors in the PPTC's Theatre Festival in Black and White in 2010, making him that festival's only two-time winner. For the 2011 Pittsburgh New Works Festival, his play Off-Color Remarks was one of 12 new scripts chosen for production from a field of more than 100 national submissions, and was ultimately one of three finalists for the festival's Outstanding Playwright Award. That honor went to Westminster graduate F.J. Hartland '80 for his play Funeral in the Rain.
Ade also recently received the "Spotlight Award" for his latest play Reports of a Home Invasion, produced at the Old Opera House during the 2013 New Voice Play Festival in Charles Town, W. Va. It was selected, along with only three other works, from 85 plays submitted across the country.
Ade, who has been with Westminster since 2003, earned an undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
Contact Ade at (724) 946-7349 or email for additional information.

Prothrombin time (PT) is a blood test that measures the time it takes for the liquid portion (plasma) of your blood to clot.
A related blood test is partial thromboplastin time (PTT) .
PT; Pro-time; Anticoagulant-prothrombin time; Clotting time: protime
The health care provider uses a needle to take blood from one of your veins. The blood collects into an airtight container. You may be given a bandage to stop any bleeding. If you are taking a medicine called heparin, you will be watched for signs of bleeding.
The lab specialist will add chemicals to the blood sample and see how long it takes for the plasma to clot.
Make sure your doctor knows about all the medicines you are taking. This including things you buy without a prescription such as over-the-counter medicines, herbs, and supplements. Your doctor may tell you to stop taking certain drugs before the test. For example, blood thinners can affect the results of this test.
Do not stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
The most common reason to perform this test is to monitor your levels when you are taking a blood-thinning medicine called warfarin.
You are likely taking this medicine to prevent blood clots
Your health care provider will check your PT, or prothrombin time, regularly.
You may also need this test to:
Prothrombin time is measured in seconds. Most of the time, results are given as what is called INR (or international normalized ratio).
If you are not taking blood thinning medicines such as warfarin, the normal range for your PT results is
If you are taking warfarin to prevent blood clots, your doctor will most likely choose to keep your INR between 2.0 and 3.0.
Ask your doctor what result is right for you.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results
If you are not taking blood thinning medicines such as warfarin, an INR result above 1.1 means your blood is clotting more slowly than desired. This may be due to:
If you are taking warfarin to prevent clots your doctor will most likely choose to keep your INR between 2.0 and 3.0.
A PT result that is too high or too low in someone who is taking warfarin (Coumadin) may be due to:
Your healthcare provider will teach you about taking warfarin (Coumadin) the proper way.
This test is often done on people who may have bleeding problems. The risks of bleeding and hematoma in these patients are slightly greater than for people without bleeding problems.

BERWICK, Maine — A group of young Excel students have decided to make the air they breathe a little better. Hussey Elementary School in Berwick now has two new "No Idling" signs due to the work and research of the Science Excel class. The program is Maine School Administrative District 60's gifted education program. After learning about idling from Peter Zack of the Maine Energy Education Program, they decided to spread the word about the dangers of idling. They discovered that cars that idle for more than 5 minutes produce toxins that affect air quality. They produced a newsletter tackling idling myths and presented the newsletter and a play written by the students to the Berwick Parent-Teachers Organization at one of their meetings. They also presented their research to the principal and received approval to put up two signs in the school's drop off and bus area that asks drivers to stop idling.

Winter gloves are full finger garments covering the full hand. They are designed with cycling in mind and have many great benefits.
A good pair of winter gloves will keep your hands warm, allowing you to cycle for longer. Your hands do not move very much whilst cycling so investing in a good pair of gloves suitable for a cold winter is well advised. Winter gloves have a longer cuff to prevent the cold touching your wrist.
There are different types of gloves, made from different materials. Many brands advise on the temperature range they are suited for. The gloves should be snug but not tight, a glove that is too tight will restrict the blood to the fingers. Wiggle customer reviews are also well worth reading.

Why conservative Evangelicals should not become Catholic
Bishops should read stuff like this. Unfortunately, they probably don't.
Bishops should read stuff like this. Unfortunately, they probably don't.
Bishops should read stuff like this. Unfortunately, they probably don't.
Bishops should read stuff like this. Unfortunately, they probably don't.
I was a conservative Evangelical that converted and remain quite happy as a Catholic. I found this article to be the usual Evangelical tripe--every time one of them attends a church, they eventually find out it doesn't live up to what they've built in their mind, they have a hissy fit and move on to a "real" church that does everything right..well, until the moment they don't. But anyway, I have my doubts he was ever a Catholic in the first place based on various verbage I read in the article.
I actually attended mass with a doctrinal bookworm understanding of why Catholicism was right as the author describes. But then I went back to the evangelical churches because of many of the reasons he stated, lack of fellowship, etc...but then four years later I'm back in the Catholic church with a more fuller understanding after having church shopped a bit more in the protestant hinterlands.
I understand where the author is coming from his post is exactly where I was years ago God doesn't always draw with straight lines.
I just read and commented on the article(it's awaiting approval I guess)....this is what I said...
one should convert to Catholicism because, despite its "issues", you believe it to be the true Church established by Christ…and for no other reason….So ask yourself that?…After reading this article…one wonders if you could find the good in anything…."Have you ever seen the practical impact of good sacraments?" No wonder you have such a negative outlook….Sounds like you had little faith….Eucharist…Confession…Established by Christ Himself!!!….revealed by the Spirit in scripture!!!…Believing in those alone are a greater experience than preaching any day…If what the Catholic Church claims is true(such as the true presence of Christ)…it is no small matter to regard His Church as simply another option….it requires serious consideration…Are you so sure in yourself that you would risk possibly misleading souls in such a serious matter?
This guy has made telling people not to convert his mission....then he argues nothing that matters most
Bishops should read stuff like this. Unfortunately, they probably don't.
A lot of his observations and complaints are true. The problem is that it is all superficial. It is also obvious that the reality of what he was learning in RCIA never really penetrated into him.
Bishops should read stuff like this. Unfortunately, they probably don't.
Jesus never told us to put a "Keep Out" sign on the door of his Church. How is this sentiment in line with the Gospels? And what error are the bishops committing (this time) by welcoming converts?
Many converts to Catholicism are very happy; others leave or revert to their former denomination. It's up to them. God stands before us with open arms, desperate for us to accept and return the love he so badly wants to give us. Sometimes it takes hold but often enough it does not. Are we, as a Church to start drawing lines or creating eligibility requirements?
Not content merely to draft an ENORMOUS syllabus of your own grievences with the Church, you're now compiling the dissatisfactions of others as well? How are you advancing the work of Christ by doing these things? HOW???
They have cultural and ethnic bonds to unite them. Traditionally, Roman Catholics (in the USA at least) don't socialize much at Church.
What does Jesus say about this?
Jesus again in reply spoke to them in parables, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. A second time he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast."' Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.' The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.' Many are invited, but few are chosen."
Mt 22:1-14
Sounds very harsh. (Jesus was talking to the very men, who, days later would falsely accuse him of crimes and bring about his crucifixion.) But this parable also illustrates the extent to which God is willing to go to gather in people who ARE WILLING to serve him. We also see what happens to those who those who rejected this great grace: i.e. those who refused his invitations and the man without the wedding garment.
Do we really want to say and do things designed to exclude people from this great feast?
Why not do whatever we can to promote the integration and retention of souls in the Church?

TONY SERRA and PAULETTE FRANKL
"Lust For Justice: The Radical Life & Law of J. Tony Serra"
Hosted by: Brian Edwards-Tiekert
Wednesday, March 6, 7:30 PM
Hillside Club, 2286 Cedar Street, Berkeley
$12 at the door or at Brown Paper Tickets
Tony Serra is a living embodiment of the anti-establishment hero. After graduating from UC Berkeley's Boalt School of Law in 1961, he began his career as a deputy district attorney for Alameda County. Rapidly disillusioned with the justice system, he became a private defense lawyer and has since become notorious for representing - and winning - cases on behalf of the downtrodden: drug dealers, Hell's Angels, Black Panthers, even the Symbionese Liberation Army. His defense of a Korean man wrongfully convicted in a Chinatown gang murder inspired the film 'True Believer.' Ever the bohemian, Serra owns no property and doesn't have a checking account. He takes most cases for free.
Serra has spent his life defending society's outcasts, including among many others: Huey Newton (Black Panthers), the White Panthers, Russell Little & Kathleen Soliah (SLA), the Hell's Angels, Chol Soo Lee, Hooty Croy, Ellie Nesler, Bear Lincoln, Judi Bari and Daryl Cherney.
Author/artist Paulette Frankl followed Serra in and out of the courtroom for more than a decade to capture in words and images this unique legal warrior.
"I am a creation of the Sixties. The greatest influence on me was the ideology of the Sixties: anti-materialism, brotherhood, nonracism, love. Those are things I still believe in." — J. Tony Serra

Introducing Andrea from Falmouth. I have a hypothesis that all girls from the Cape are smokeshows. All of them. Like there are no ugly girls who live in Cape Cod. Am I right about this? They all look like Andrea. Pure flames. I'm 98% sure this is true.
Do you know any smokes? Send them our way. firstname.lastname@example.com

Yesterday was also Grandparents' Day. I have a soft spot for that day because when I was in the third grade, I guess there had been some sort of grade-wide or school-wide announcement that to recognize the holiday, your grandparents were welcome to come sit in on class on a particular afternoon; mine were the only ones who showed up to Ms. Nichols' classroom. These were my mother's parents, who were really the only grandparents I ever had.
As my mother tells it, as seniors her parents came to swap the personalities each had embodied during their child-raising years. My Grandpa had been the fearmongering disciplinarian of my Mom's childhood (imposingly tall, his carriage had borne the obscure menace of a Hitchcock villain) while Grandma was the good cop, the parent you'd go to after the other one had said no, or the parent you'd run and hide behind when the other was chasing you down for a spanking. As I knew them, though, Grandpa was a peaceable, lovable giant and Grandma was a rusty, old broad who could turn on you in an ashy-tipped flick of one of her Vantages.
When I was around nine, we were at my grandparents' for my Grandpa's birthday. In the kitchen helping to get the cake ready with Grandma, my overzealousness had somehow rubbed her the wrong way, and she irascibly blurted out that I should go suck an egg. I thought it was the meanest thing anyone had ever said to me. I retreated to the living room couch, refusing to return to the kitchen for dessert, even though listening to everyone else sing "Happy Birthday" made me feel excruciatingly alone. A little while later, Grandpa came into the living room by himself with a piece of cake for me. That still makes me cry.
As you might have guessed by now, Grandma was the drinker of the two. Put a Scotch and soda in one of her hands, a lit Vantage in the other, sit her bony ass down in front of a Mets game and you'd witness a 75-year-old completely in her cups. I don't think the fact that she drank Scotch and sodas had anything to do with the fact that I went through a yearlong Scotch-and-soda phase in my early 20s; for that, you could thank the tech crew at The Bottom Line in the West Village, where I waited tables. Likewise, the fact that I never really liked the taste of Scotch and sodas really was just a tastebud thing, not some psychological harbinger of what-have-you.
So I guess, Grandma, if you're reading this from that big, old Citi Field game box in the sky, you may consider Grandma's Gussied-up Scotch and Soda my olive branch to your egg suck. True, I didn't make this drink in one of your old cruise-ship highballs (btw, you swiped those, didn't you?), but I did make it big, so you'll never need get up in the middle of an inning to refresh your glass.
Grandma's Gussied-up Scotch and Soda
2 ounces The Arran Malt Single Malt Scotch Whisky
3/4 ounce Otima 10 Year Tawny Port
2 dashes orange blosssom water
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
Club soda, to fill
Lemon twist, to garnish
Combine Scotch, port, orange blossom water and bitters in a tall, ice-filled Collins glass. Stir briskly. Top with club soda and garnish with lemon twist.
Tasting Notes
I'll talk about this more some other time, but The Arran Malt: This is a Scotch that we received from one of Sean's cousins as a wedding gift (albeit late enough to qualify as a first-anniversary gift; thanks, Chris!). Chris' father's family stems from the Isle of Arran where it's distilled. Sean and I have become big, big fans of this Scotch whisky… because it tastes so much like bourbon whiskey! Low on the peaty and high on the caramelly. Yum.

XXVI, No. 3 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1939 PRICE 10 CENTS Dr. Geiringer Soon to'Sail For^America Declaration of War Delays Visiting Math Lecturer � In Portugal The appointment of Dr. Hilda Geiringer, distinguished scholar and ex-professor of mathematics at Istanbul University, as visiting lecturer for the year 1940, has just been announced. Dr. Geiringer received her Ph.D. degree in Vi- enna in 1918, was chosen Priva'nt DozenJ at Berlin in 1927, and in traordinary Professor there. Dr. Geiringer is the author of many books and articles on applied mathematics, among them Me- chanik isotroper Korpcr im plas- tischen Zustand, published in Ber- lin in 1934, and an article Uber die Wahr8cheinlichkeit von Hypothe- Contlnued on Page Six FACULTY, ALUMNAE CONSIDER PROBLEMS OF 4 DEPARTMENTS Professors Explain Place of Philosophy In College Courses The place of philosophy in the curriculum was the subject of an alumnae conference conducted by Mr. Weiss of the Philosophy De- partment, Miss Dorothy Walsh of Wells College, and Miss Edna Shearer of Smith College. 'Two opposing opinions were presented by the speakers, one that philoso- phy should embrace education as 1935 accepted the position of .Ex-, a whole and integrate all depart- Smith Memorial Fund Sets Up 'Workshops in Living History" (Specially contributed by Helen Cobb, '40) The William Roy Smith Memo- rial Fund, given last winter by Mrs. Smith to "fulfil one of the wishes that he had not had time to realize," set up experimental "Workshops" in five communities to serve the educational needs of local workers' groups�both white collar and industrial�under a com- mittee headed by Elizabeth D. Lyle, Bryn Mawr European Fel- low of the class of 1937. It is not attempting formal classes, but projects like Living Newspaper dramatics, or charts, maps, and graphs to express such subjects as unemployment figures and the union budget in pictorial form and thereby to induce more concrete thinking about facts and their relation to opinion. These "Workshops in Living History" should offer practical information and therefore prove thought-pro- voking to people unused to aca- demic theorizing. Continued on Page Three ments of study, the other that members of the Philosophy Depart- ment should stay in close contact with one another and not attempt to "patch things together." "The meaning of philosophy is destroyed if it is merely placed among other subjects," declared Mr. Weiss. "Such a process is equivalent to placing the body on equal terms with its organs. Col- leges should have a unifying prin- ciple, but this is lost when phi- losophy is set off at one side." Ethics are properly related to the social sciences, aesthetics to history of art, and logic to science. Mr. Weiss/ advocated, however, a Continued on Page Three Methods of French Teaching Debated Graduates Offer Proposals for Coordinating Major and Allied Work Assembly to Define Background of Play An assembly will be held in Good- hart on Friday morning, October 27, at ten o'clock to discuss Educa- tion In Democracy. Miss Park will speak for the1 college side of the question, Miss McBride for the school side-gnd Miss Carter, Direc- tor of the *Hudson Shore Labor School, will discuss workers' edu- cation. It is hoped that the assembly will provide some background for the better understanding of the Living Newspaper which the Play- ers Club is presenting in conjunc- ion with the Industrial Group and the A. S. U. on Friday night, since the production will represent some >f the theories brought up in the discussion. Extra! Extra! Extra! Read All About It; How What You Read by Us Gets Writ By Elizabeth Crozier Death and taxes we have always with us, remarked a Frenchman some time ago. To these, we add the News, which stretches from week to week. The News week for the editorial board starts on Monday at 5.30. At this time, the editor-in-chief makes the assignments for the coming week. Her assignment is each re- porter's job for the week, and it must be handed in on the following Monday. The reporter has two functions� not only that of writing up an as- signment, but also that of actually putting the News out in its finished form. This wqrk is done on Mon- day and Tuesday nights. Part of the editorial board works the first night and part the second, while the three editors are there both nights. Maybe the best way to describe this work is to say that it is all a lesson in how to say the thing in the best possible way. It is grubby work indeed. Corrections are made, articles are rewritten and retyped, t rules of punctuation are enforced. and manuals of good printing form are constantly quoted (for instance, numbers from one to ten are to be spelled out a/id those thereafter to be rendered as figures). For many of us, writing head- lines is the toughest job of all. Read in a newspaper, they seem easy and simple. But they are not. There are several demands laid down in writing a headline, and all of them must be fulfilled. A head should contain the essence of the article; it should be pure statement of fact�there should be no edito- rial or interpretive suggestion in itt nor should it be misleading; and it should contain a certain number of letters�a certain, number and no more. When all the copy has been head- lined and corrected, it is picked up on Tuesday morning by Philip, publisher and general contact man between the printers and the News, who takes it to the plant in Wayne. Here the compositor sets up the type on a linotype machine. (Most of the printing in America is lino- Continued on Par* Five Wyndham, October 21. � Miss Margaret Gilman, presiding at the French Conference and discussion held for the alumnae, gave a brief iccounlf of the work of the French Department. She described the re- quirements of the major and the aims of the department, outlining the course work and explaining the present reorganization of material. Dr. Helen Patch, Bryn Mawr Ph.D., and professor of French at Mt. Holyoke College, spoke on the work of the French Department there, stressing the "cooperation of departments." Mt. Holyoke students relate their courses, taking, for instance, Renaissance History and French with a joint bibliography. The freshmen, taking both French and English, write source themes on work in both fields. Interrelation of science and French has been suggested, but not yet carried out. Miss Patch also explained the two-unit system at Mt. Holyoke. About 15 students, who lived to- gether in one house under a di- rector of studies, take two subjects a year instead of five, and "go deeply" into them. The students are under close guidance of the de- partments and are sent to attend different classes for any length of Continued on Page Six DIEZ SUMMARIZES GERMAN COURSES Value of Politics Reviewed; Problems Of Teaching Cited Taylov Hall, October 21.�Mr. Wells and Miss Staerk, Politics .eader during 1938-39, sketched the History and prohjems of the Poli- tics department. Miss Harriet More and Miss Eleanor Fabyan discussed the Politics major and its value in post-college life. Mr. Wells stated the three major problems confronting the depart- ment today: coordinating Politics Miss Enters Will Present Pantomines Tragic and Comic Roles Included in Range Of Characters On Thursday evening, October 26, the College Entertainment Com- mittee will present Angna Enters, the first performer on the Enter- tainment Series. Miss Enters is known as "America's greatest dance mime" a title which only feebly expresses the variety and ^cope of her dramatic talents. All over Europe and America audiences have flocked to see Miss Enters' performances because she with Economics and other subjects; j offers a unique type "of entertain- giving enough graduate courses, and evaluating the final examina- tion in the major subject. Coor- dination is attained through allied subjects, through discussion clubs, and through joint courses given by professors of Politics and Eco- nomics. The examination system, however, is still faulty because it handicaps the better students, puts pressure on the weaker students, and makes honors work suffer. The Swarthmore system of first, second, third, and pass degrees works bet- ter for all students. Miss Staerk outlined and dis- cussed the first year Politics course. "In such a survey course," she aid, "the chief problem is to avoid superficiality and bias." Continued on Page Two Need for Conversation Especially Emphasized In a symposium on the place of German in the Bryn Mawr curricu- lum, Mr. Max Diez presented three topics for discussion. These were: the German "oral" examination, the revision of the major course, and the opportunities for German conversation. The last topic proved most interesting, especially in its connection with the necessity for concentration on reading German, provided by the examination re- quirement. The ability to read German has been considered essential for the A. B. degree, especially as a "tool" in graduate work. Spoken German, though not so important in this re- spect was thought extremely desir- able by many of the group,. Mr. Diez advocated training in conver- sation in the preparatory schools, but if this proves impossible there is still opportunity here through the German Club, German House, and the junior year abroad. (Even a summer in Germany was helpful to this year's group.) In college there is not enough time for ele- mentary conversation courses, but the Wagner course, which has been added this year, provides some oral training and bridges the gap be- tween the elementary reading course and more advanced work.

The transla- tion and lyrics are by Louise Allen and Betty Frazier, both '42. The music, according to,tradition, is by Arthur Sullivan. The authors, when interviewed, confessed to a certain freedom of translation. Beyond that they would give no information except' to promise that the play will speak for itself. A furtive visit to a re- hearsal revealed a generous amount of ribaldry, allusions to the Duke of Windsor and the Lone Ranger, and accompanying motifs played on a recorder offstage. The Ludiones regret that, con- trary to the tradition of the Latin Play, they are forced to charge ad- mission to the performance.

Some three weeks ago college opened and Rhoads I was supposed to have a fire drill. I, being fire captain, went around and drafted the requisite number of lieuten- ants and heelers, and the gong was scheduled to sound early on a Thursday morning. The only trouble with that was that the key to the bell was lost. Time passed, and on the after- noon of Wednesday; October 17, I found the new key, which Miss Hait had had made, in my mail box. Betty Crozier, second lieutenant, will support mf in this. She was there. Without a moment's hesita- tion, I realized that it was my duty to call a fire drill next morning. But, simply as a matter of rou- tine, the bell had to be tested first. I inserted the key in the firebox, but nothing happened and, as I am naturally timid about electrical ap- pliances, I told my lieutenant to do it. Miss Crozier threw home the switch, the glass fell on the floor (this fact was not noticed until later) and the bell rang. Self- satisfied, Miss Crozier returned the key to me, evidently under the impression that she was only re- sponsible for turning the bell on. The bell kept ringing, and dur- ing the first minute of this bedlam I felt strongly that something should be done. At the end of the second minute I knew that I was not the girl to do it. And since no one else had any suggestions to make, we all went on being alarmed until finally Miss Hait stuffed cardboard into the mechan- ism, which did the trick. This is absolutely all I know about the Rhoads fire bell. I admit that since the first crisis, at least four similar eruptions have taken place, but I was not present at any -of them. Furthermore,�and I put this in just to keep the record straight�when I and my two lieutenants, Betty Crozier and Kristi Putnam, tried to have a real fire drill a few days later, none of the bells worked at all. r\

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- There were fewer meth lab incidents in Kansas last year compared to 2011, but demand for the drug remains high, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
The KBI reported 143 meth lab incidents statewide in 2012, down from 214 a year earlier, The Wichita Eagle reported (http://bit.ly/1bmMBtx ). Such incidents are listed under three categories: seizures of meth chemicals, equipment and labs.
"The numbers have decreased in terms of manufacturing, but we're still seeing arrests for possession and distribution of methamphetamine in all parts of the state," said Kelly Ralston, KBI special agent in charge.
The drop in Kansas follows an apparent nationwide trend. The Drug Enforcement Administration said there were about 12,700 meth lab incidents nationwide in 2012, down 5.5 percent from the 13,390 such incidents in 2011.
Of Kansas' 143 meth lab incidents reported last year, about half were in five counties in southeast Kansas. Crawford County reported 25 meth lab incidents, which is the highest number in Kansas, according to the KBI. Of the other four, Montgomery County reported 17 meth lab incidents, while Cherokee County had 11. Labette and Neosho counties each had nine.
In 2011, Crawford County also had the highest number of meth lab incidents reported in the state, with 45. Montgomery County was second with 36, followed by Labette County with 35 and Cherokee County with 27.
Crawford County Sheriff Dan Peak attributed the numbers to the region's poverty, limited drug treatment resources and location.
"I think a lot of it has to do with our proximity to Missouri and Oklahoma," he said. "We are here bordering the Ozarks. ... And it does make for a clandestine-type situation for a lot of people."

In 1984 Palermo, Angela Parlagreco, a tough beauty dressed to the nines, navigates the nooks and crannies of the market district, expertly running drugs for her husband's "shoe business." Fulfilling her illegal duties as matter-of-factly as if they were the laundry, she watches and observes as the men conduct their shady dealings among mountains of shoe boxes. Silently craving new horizons, Angela gradually and willfully gives in to her desire for her husband's assistant, Masino, even though such a betrayal could lead to tragedy.
