Grande is …
The concept of a "grande dame," with an extravagant, passionate, even theatrical personal style, may be somewhat antiquated, displaced in contemporary society by the image of a powerful female executive. It was, nonetheless, vividly recalled by the recent centennial of a Sarasota icon, philanthropist and arts-lover Ulla Searing.
Searing wanted to celebrate her 100th birthday and came darn close to doing it. She died of old age June 28, at her home at Tessera. The co-trustees and executors of her estate, Jennie Famiglio and John Mason, decided to have a party, anyhow, on her actual birthday, Oct. 21.
As observed in the "Black Tie & Tales" column last week, the reception was just as Searing would have wanted it: the "correct" place, people, music and food. Guests went home with a prettily packaged souvenir of her favorite marzipan fruits.
One treat was, somewhat inexplicably, missing; East Hampton friend Mark Fabry spoke of "the profound silence that would manifest when she had … chocolate. She was that simple."
It is unlikely that Sarasota would have used that adjective but Fabry is a credible authority; he "inherited" Searing 30 years ago from an uncle who was her close friend. Fabry describes their time together as mostly "one on one" and said, "Simplicity, elegance, strength and gentleness concurrent with a fierce Viking nature. She set such a standard for me and I hope I can be that for others."
That Viking nature was also recalled by Searing's long-time friend, Tana Sandefur, who told her favorite Ulla story: "Ulla told me, 'I just caned somebody in the elevator because I didn't like him and I'm a Viking and I can get away with it.'"
Searing wrote her autobiography at age 97. Famiglio and Mason and their respective partners, Mark Famiglio and Scott George, read it at the reception. Along with several photo albums, it reveals much about Sarasota's "grande dame" that is less well-known than her impressive philanthropy.
Searing's standards of manners and social correctness rather belie her somewhat surprising beginnings. She was the illegitimate daughter of a Swedish aristocrat who became pregnant by her fiancé. And this was not the first scandal in the family, which was related to the famed Liljevalchs clan. Searing writes that her grandmother was the first divorced woman in Stockholm, so embarrassing her mother (Searing's great-grandmother) that "she drove around in her carriage with the blinds drawn."
Dr. Herman Rosengren, who tended her mother, adopted Searing, who noted, "I always wondered who was my mother … the servants and other people gossiped, too, and, eventually, I figured out who my mother was. When I was 12, my adoptive father told her she had to tell me. I knew it all along, but never said anything."
According to her first cousin once removed, Jeremy Ingpen, who spoke at her reception, when others observed a resemblance between mother and daughter, Searing's mother actually denied any relationship.
As painful, though, this clearly was, Searing relished her summer visits to the family she did have — cousins in the south of Sweden.
After the crash of 1929 and the death of Dr. Rosengren in 1932, Searing left Sweden for the care of her wealthy grandmother in Surrey, England. She came to the United States in 1946, according to a naturalization certificate, and became a career girl.
"I worked at the consulate for a while and I worked for a Swedish importer," she wrote. "Also, at that time, I was teaching Swedish in the Berlitz School of International Languages in New York. I was very fortunate to get a very good apartment (a walk-up) in a very desirable area on Madison Avenue and 55th Street."
Searing met Arthur Searing, the finance vice president of AIG, who had an invalid wife, in 1956, and they wed in 1963. She writes, "We were married in the Searing Church in Searingtown on Long Island. We had a house in Southampton and belonged to clubs there. We played a lot of golf, and on one lucky day I won a ladies golf tournament. We traveled an awful lot abroad, once around the world on the QEII."
When Arthur Searing retired in 1973, they began spending winters on Longboat Key, and when he died in 1983, she moved into Sarasota. According to the autobiography: "I had two marriages after Arthur, one to a Dane who had Alzheimer's. That was a very short marriage … Then, I married a very interesting French-Canadian man who was very smart." That marriage to Claude DuPont was in 1998. Searing came to fear that DuPont would hurt her and at one point decamped with one of her helpers to The Colony, registering under an assumed name; she divorced him in 2004.
Throughout her colorful-to-say-the-least life, Searing was a passionate lover of the arts and it is this for which she is most remembered in Sarasota. She was also a fiercely loyal friend. Note this excerpt from a letter she wrote to The Observer about her 2006 donation to New College: "I want to emphasize the fact that the reason I gave the donation to New College was that my late husband, Arthur Searing, and I always wanted to honor Gen. Rolland Heiser for the extraordinary work he has done for the college."
How well that fits with Jennie Famiglio's comment at Searing's posthumous party: "Despite a 60-year age difference, she was a great girlfriend: strong, formal, playful, refined and focused."

It Always Comes Back to Baseball
By Jim Gates
As our curators often say, "It always comes back to baseball."
This is their way of explaining that no matter what topic you want to discuss, they can find a way to include baseball as a relevant element of the conversation. We see this everyday at work, but this motto became especially relevant while I was on a fossil dig in the middle of the Wyoming high plateau this past August.
I have a friend who is a partner in the Green River Stone Company, which owns a quarry in the fossil-rich Green River Formation near Kemmerer, Wyoming. At his invitation, a group of Cooperstonians ventured out to the quarry site during the second week of August to try our hand searching for 50-million year old (Eocene Epoch) bug, fish and plant fossils. We experienced 90+ degree days, night temperatures in the 30s, a wonderful meteor shower, and lots of hours on the rock pile. It was an educational experience for everyone involved, and we all want to make a return trip.
One would think that baseball is the last thing you would come across while digging through rocks at 8,000 feet of elevation with the nearest town being many miles away. However, while relaxing after lunch on our last day at the site, I overheard some of the full-time staff calling out baseball terms while playing a game of horseshoes. Not being able to leave this alone, I walked over and asked what they were up to.
Well, having achieved complete boredom with the standard game of horseshoes as part of their after-lunch activity, they had invented a new game – horseshoe baseball. As explained to me by Jerome Montgomery, the quarry's Director of Paleontology, they use a variety of targets for different base hits, and outs occur on any misses. After a few minutes, any baseball fan would be able to quickly understand the complete game. Scorekeeping is also an important part of the game as the back of the work shed door is used to track wins and losses. It should be noted that Jerome is the reigning world champion.
I quickly snapped some photos and enjoyed watching them play for awhile. Not having seen a game for almost a week, it certainly helped fill the baseball void. I made some notes of this game and have added this to my files of how our baseball has worked its way into our shared psyche.
So, if you are ever driving down US Highway 30, west of Kemmerer, look off to the south as you pass the Fossil Butte National Monument, as their may be a number of horseshoe players up on the hill who found a way to keep "baseball" alive in a most unusual way.
Jim Gates is the librarian of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library.

I am glad you enjoyed your trip to our quarry. We try to not only work hard but play hard as well. The story was great. It's true you can find a good game of baseball in almost any location. Sometimes you just have to look a little harder. I have to give credit to Matt Helm my friend and co-founder of the game of baseball horseshoes. Without him fossil digging and horseshoes just wouldn't be as fun.
Thanks, Jerome Montgomery

A dragon rock supposedly fell from the sky in the year 1420. The Roman governor Pontius Pilatus might have been buried in Lake Pilatus. Legend has it that a petrified man stands guard in front of a cave. The mountain massif of Pilatus, which towers above the region with its 2,132 meters in height, indubitably captures the imagination. Even today Pilatus is a source of mystical discoveries and is home to places of natural beauty that are steeped in legend and lore. The mountain can be reached from Lucerne by gondola lift and aerial cable car and from Alpnachstad with the world's steepest rack-railroad. Thus a special roundtrip tour is possible, involving journeys by paddle steamer, rack-railroad, aerial cable car and bus. The trip can be combined with various types of sports, hiking tours, or a visit to the summer toboggan run.
The best way to become acquainted with the dragon mountain is with the steepest railway of the world (ascent 48%), or the spectacular aerial tramway and modern soundless panoramic gondolas.
For those people who like boatrides and mountains, the Golden Roundtrip is a wonderful journey. To Alpnachstad by boat or train, then to Pilatus Kulm on the world's steepest railway. Descent by the cable car and gondolas to Kriens, Lucerne or the whole tour vice versa.
The variety of hiking tracks lets every enthusiastic hiker's heart beat faster. In the region of Pilatus, you will find tracks not only for hikers, but for mountaineers and alpinists as well.
Another very particular attraction is the longest summer-toboggan run of Switzerland - a funny and sportive experience one should not miss.
At Krienseregg you find a large children's playground, a recreation area with waymarked hiking trails and picnic areas with tables and benches and open barbecue.

Hit the Pandora button, scroll to "internet", then "wicd" and hit enter (or use mouse to navigate and click)... just that simple.
glad you're up and running, quartercast... I'm tweaking this thing as much as I can... if you're interested in using AUR:
- use pacman to install your fav browser as well as the package 'git'
- navigate to the Arch Linux AUR page
- search for 'packer' (granted yaort probably works too, but not really a fan of it)
- download the PKGBUILD to a custom folder
- open a terminal and navigate to the folder you downloaded the PKGBUILD to
- enter [ makepkg ] without brackets and hit enter
- check that the arch= line in the PKGBUILD either has 'any' or 'arm' as a parameter
- build package
- install with [ pacman -U *xz ] as root (or install sudo and edit /etc/sudoers according to the Arch Linux wiki page for sudo) and from that point on, use packer to install from the standard repos AND the AUR!
NOTE: When installing from AUR, make sure to check all PKGBUILDs to see if they have 'any' as a parameter in arch=... if they don't, add 'arm' to that list then continue the build. I prefer nano as my editor, vi is the standard. Check the sudo archwiki page for instructions on how to switch to your fav terminal-based editor.
Posted 07 June 2011 - 07:59 AM
1) OK now I can connect to my wifi but can't update pacman database. On ethernet it updates and installs packages fine.
2) What browser are you using? I tried installing firefox but it fails to download xulrunner dependency from plugapps. I successfully installed Epiphany but it doesn't run due to a missing lib (missing libicui18n.so). Midori gives me the same error.
Edit: seems libwebkit was built with libicu version 4.6, but icu 4.8 is installed. Tried to solve the problem by symlinking but that didn't work.
Edited by quartercast, 07 June 2011 - 08:21 AM.
Posted 07 June 2011 - 08:45 AM
You may be able to grab a newer webkit by going to the plugapps repo directly and downloading via your laptop/desktop then copying it over to the SD card that Arch is on for your Pandora, popping it back in the Pandora and installing it directly ( with 'sudo pacman -U *xz' or su followed by 'pacman -U *xz')... let us know what happens...
As far as issues go that I have run into... battery is not properly detected (I have a battery screenlet running and it's telling me there is no batter) and bluetooth is not detected (ran gnome-bluetooth-applet and got the same response... no bluetooth detected).... Wifi works, but indicator light doesn't... wondering who we should contact @ OPT to find out what modules/libs are missing or whatever...

Negative effects felt from CHINS changes
Sunday, December 9, 2012
ROCHESTER — Since the last budget cycle, officials throughout the state have been feeling the negative effects of the modified Child in Need of Services (CHINS) program and say perhaps the worst of it is yet to come.
"Once we had pursued every available avenue that we had available to us, the CHINS petition for truancy was like … the last straw, basically," she said. "When we were able to file CHINS petitions for truancy, we had certain guidelines to follow. Once we developed all of those, we could follow a petition from the court. Without having that, it just gives us less teeth."
The law, which went into effect on Sept. 30, 2011, reads services may only be applied to "a child under the age of 18 with a diagnosis of severe emotional, cognitive, or other mental health issues who engages in aggressive, fire setting, or sexualized behaviors that pose a danger to the child or others and who is otherwise unable or ineligible to receive services."
"Parents who are struggling look to the court for help, but now you'd have to be so severe to really get in to the top 50 students … you're going to have problems with students before they ever even get to court," Hopkins explained. "I think that's the difficulty, is a child in need of services really means we're hoping to give them services so we can get them better, not that they're so bad off that you can't turn it around."
"The problem we run into was essentially the legalization of certain behaviors by removing the statutory wording about violation level offenses from the CHINS statute," Willey said. "When you look at it from the perspective of intervening with problems, chances are with a young child the first illicit substance they're going to experience is alcohol. And the thought that we would not be able to address this issue at the earliest possible opportunity is really something to me that really is a travesty."
"The first time a kid has an alcohol problem, we shouldn't be waiting on the second and third time where he's drunk to pick him up," he said.
In Rochester, Superintendent Hopkins described the scenario as one where now municipalities must take on far more to help local youth.
As another added consequence to the revised CHINS parameters, Bishop explained residential organizations that provide local services are struggling now, too. She said before the Legislature considered changing the CHINS program around, DCYF was working to have more children placed with relatives, rather than stay at community houses, like Our House for Girls in Dover, for example. When the CHINS program changed, and lowered the number of children who qualify for such services, local programs began to close. Our House for Girls closed this summer and reports say the Hannah House, a home for pregnant teenagers in Lebanon, will close at the end of the year.
"It's sort of like that old expression 'penny wise and pound foolish,'" she said.
DeJoie said he is optimistic for the future, for local partnerships to work with the Legislature to work together. |

Camp Chef Emergency Preparedness GearWhen disaster strikes you may have only a few minutes to get to safety. Those few minutes are critical to get your family and yourself to safety. In the wake of a disaster it can be hours, days, or even weeks before you can return back to your normal way of life. A good 72-hour kit has many essential items. One of those items needs to be a way to boil water and prepared food among others.

Honorable Mention
In this logo I represent different culture with different color lines. Each line overlaps with others and connected as well. Some lines are prominent and some colors dissolved with the background. It seems like a incomplete form. It will give a feeling that other lines are missing like lots of culture we have forgotten.
The lines are going different direction. It is representing the 'diversity'. All colorful lines together celebrating the diversity.
I think culture is a vast thing. It's a combination of lots of stories, experience, memories. If we see the zoom version, we can see lots of combination of different colors, compositions, stories.

All returning players who register prior to the deadline, will return to their previous team unless they elect to be placed into the draft or the team is disbanded due to a lack of returning players.
All registrations received after this date will result in the player being assigned to the player pool to await assignment to a team. There will be no exceptions to this deadline.
Why are we doing this? In previous seasons, players who registered at the last minute created a great deal of difficulty with team assignments, fair and equitable placements, and controversy regarding the method of assignments. By creating a 'line in the sand', the Director of Player Personnel will have ample time to structure and implement a fair and reasonable method along with the ability for the league to better prepare schedules, field assignments, etc.

I just received an unmarked 10" chef with a killer profile - just gorgeous. Only caveat is it's convex on the LEFT side and concave on the RIGHT side . . . Go figure - it's perfect for Lefties . . . so lefties stay tuned
Hey Lefty, I meant to tell you that the slicer I ordered from you arrived safely and I enjoyed it so much I started looking for more forgecraft to play with. Got this bullnose and a cleaver is on the way.
Thanks a lot,

My family is once again watching The Biggest Loser on NBC this season. One idea that the trainers try to instill in the contestants is, you've got to want this for you. It's not about your wife or kids or job it's about getting fit for your own health and well being. Those other motivations may get you started but they will not carry you through to your goal.
Some of the contestants try to push their success off on their team or on the trainers and blame them if they don't succeed. It's natural for us to blame our situations, our parents, our upbringing, our families our disabilities or schedules when things don't work out. It takes the pressure off us. It makes us feel a little better about ourselves.
Jesus came into Jerusalem and went down to the pool called Bethesda to see what was happening. While He was walking through the crowds He came to a man who had been at the pool for 38 years. Jesus stopped and asked him, "do you want to be healed?" Interesting question since it was believed that at times an angel came and stirred the water and the first person in the water was healed. So, of course the man wanted to be healed! He stayed at the pool for 38 years trying to be the first person in the pool. Talk about determination. Trying and failing for that long might have gotten a lesser man to give up.
So it seems a little cold-hearted that Jesus would ask this man if he wanted to be healed. At least, that is what it seems like.
Imagine if you wanted to loose weight and went to the gym every day. But when you got there you just sat in the lobby and ate a box of Krispy Kreme donuts. Then one day a trainer came in and saw you sitting there with the empty box and asked, "do you want to get fit?" It's kind of the same situation.
Here's the reality. Jumping in to a pool of water isn't going to heal you any more than sitting in the lobby of the YMCA is going to make you fit. They don't equal. It's misplaced hope. So Jesus question is entirely acceptable based on the reality of the situation.
But the man was so sure that his only hope was the pool that he immediately began to make excuses.

Just received my quilted mini ella today in blush, the color is darker than the picture but it's still beautiful and versatile. I like that the material is nylon which is low maintenance. The size is perfect for petite like me. The handle is a bit stiff but i'm sure will loosen up with wear. Some reviewers mentioned that the bottom is curved therefore won't stand on it's own but I solved it by putting a bag organizer which I always use on all my pocketbooks anyway. What's even better is I got it on sale, definitely a good buy that I will definitely enjoy for more summers to come.

I found this to be a lovely bag; however, it is certainly a mini-tote. It is difficult to fit as much into this bag as you might expect with a larger bag and still get the bag to close. Otherwise, it is a great value and gorgeous handbag.

-' T The College News VOL. XVII, NO. 1 BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1930 PRICE. 10 CENTS Variety of Activities Mark Freshman Week; President's Reception Culminates Events 1934 Triumphs Over 1933 in Annual Parade Night Competition; Sophomores Fail to Retaliate With Parody. Third Time in Five Years. ------------------------ # SELF-GOVERNMENT RULES AROUSE STRANGE QUERY (Specially contributed by Helen, BtU, '31) "The work of the forty-sixth aca- demic year begins at 8:45 A. M. Sep- tember 30." This appears in the col- lege calendar and evokes images of a college suddenly bursting into activity and life at 8:45 A. M. on Tuesday morning. But, although this activity was very great, it was preceded by six days which were not noteworthy for being idle ones. Freshman Week, in short, was the beginning of the col- lege year for a large and important fraction of the undergraduates. It was a well-filled week for the upperclassmen who had come back, and a spasmodically active one for the newcomers. Many varieties of occupa- tion were proffered (and required): One could pay an academic visit to the Dean, or an introductory one to the President. The gym was open to visitors�on the principle of the spider and the fly�from 9 until 6 and one's secrets about poundage and fallen arches and number of cigarettes per day were discovered. Then there was the lure of advanced standing examina- tions in French, and the English Place- ment Test, to say nothing of the Self- Government exam, to inveigle one to the classrooms of Taylor, while in- formative tours through the stacks and seminaries drew one to the Library. And all this was merely the executive side of life. ________ The social side was equally replete with opportunities for the interested young woman with ambition and fore- ght. Wednesday night, ginger ale and pretzels were issued in each hall, and the functions gradually took on the air of friendly get-togethers where gen- ealogies, schools, and "my dear, do you know's" echoed from ceiling to floor. On Thursday night, the question of Self-Government was explained, on Friday, that of the Athletic Associa- tion, on Saturday, the Undergraduate Association; and at Sunday Night Chapel, the Bryn Mawr League�with the result that the Freshmen are now completely conversant, naturally, with each and every phase of our college life. There were also Commons Room teas on. a number of days, and an al fresco supper on Wyndham's porch where a large number of potato chips bit the dust, and even more people found joy and comfort in the fact that someone else used to know that Janet Jones who was fired from Miss Wil- son's two years ago. The President's Reception was the true culmination of the social events, as the elegance of the young women's dress as they left for Miss Park's house most eloquently testified. Monday was the day of retrospection and reckoning. Upper classmen were beginning to arrive surrounded with suitcases and old friends. Freshmen were beginning to feel less and less jords of theNsituation. And a few oc- togenarians w�re still pondering over a question, that one of the Freshmen had asked after hearing an explanation of the Self-Government rules: "Is it true that Princeton men are the only approved escorts for Bryn Mawr girls?" What puzzles us is: who does the approving? ing under Pern Arch by all classes fol- lowed the prarade and bonfire. Freshman Song Stop, look, listen, watch! Every sad Sophomore. Parade Night's come and you've been left By 1934. Self-Government On Saturday evening, October 4, the Freshman class was formally welcomed at the Self-Government reception, with President Park, Dean Schenck of "the Graduate School, Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, and Lois Thurston, '31, President of the Self-Government Association, receiving. Although entertainments of this sort are becoming less necessary and seem less apt to fulfill the purposes for which they were originally intended, neverthe- less this one had its bright spots. Among these was a talk by President Park ad- dressed to the incoming class. She stressed the point that Freshmen enter- ing Bryn Mawr would not find their path too easy but leading toward inde- pendence and responsibility and the fuller development of the individual. Some- thing of the history and significance of the Graduate School was explained in an address by Dean Schenck, with the final announcement, accompanied by an invi- tation, that the Graduate School would be "at Home" in Radnor on Thursday afternoons. Following these instructive and enter- tainingly informal speeches the orchestra struck up a lively tune for the dancers and an opportunity thereby for the '34s to make acquaintances among the upper- classmen. " Gertrude Chisholm, '33. and Beulah Parker, '33, won the competition dance, with K. Coleman, '32, and her partner victors in the "Lucky Number" feature. These frivolities were inter- rupted by a prolonged, but eventually well worthwhile struggle for refresh- ment, "Home, Sweet Home" concluding the evening and this annual entertain- ment of long-standing importance in the traditional activities of Bryn Mawr. Goodhart Stage Charred in Post-JM'dnight Fire On Monday night the college was roused by the ringing of Taylor bell and the shriek of the power house siren, followed by the clatter of fire engines to Goodhart Hall, where si Ue was rolling up in thick clouds. T fire was discovered by the night w. hman, Mr. Graham, and it was al- re* well under way beneath the plat- fon.. of the stage when the alarm was sounded. Mr. Graham's only key was to the service entrance, where the smoke was thickest, making entry im- possible. A side door of the audito- rium was forced to make a passage for one of the hose lines, which was dragged at great risk across the stage and played through a hole in the floor (on the flames). A second, Jine was led through the window at the service entrance. The firemen were mate- rially aided by Mr. Willoughby, who made his way, through smoke so thick that lanterns were extinguished, to open the doors of the auditorium and investigate the switchboard back stage. Owing to the splendid efforts of the Bryn Mawr Fire Department the fire was under control within a half hour. I The cause of the fire is not known. The last person left Goodhart at 10:30 as usual. Damage by the flames was limited to the back and under stage regions, the curtains of the main auditorium being but slightly singed. Chemicals and a preventive baptism of water blackened and streaked floors, walls, and ceilings of the office rooms. The| Common Room was untouched, and the Music Room escaped serious de- facement, though it was completely filled with smoke and inundated by the hose play above. The dangerous section of the stage, where the foun- dations had been charred, was roped off by morning, and the debris was to a large extent removed by Chapel time, when President Park spoke of the fire as already in the past tense. President Park Gives Address at Official Opening of Forty-sixth Academic Year Freshman Class Enters With High Average; #10,000 Given For Scholarships. Marion Edwards Park Freshmen to Receive Lanterns Friday Night Interview With Nightwatchman The career of Mr. Joseph Graham, the familiar figure who for many years has patroled the Bryn Mawr campus ip the watches of the night, suddenly reached its climax on Monday morn- ing, October 7, at 1 A. M. .with his discovery of what might have been a serious fire in Goodhart Hall. Mr. Graham has described this event, which he considers the most exciting Continued on Pace Six In the Library cloisters this Friday night the class of 1934 will receive from the Sophomores its blue lanterns. This year's Freshman class will be the forty- fourth to be thus initiated into the ranks of Bryn Mawr scholars: the institution of L�tntern Might is almost as old as the college itself. Its origin was in 1886 when the class of 1890, the second class in college, received its "lamps of learn- ing." The ceremony as we know it now, however, is quite dissimilar to that. from which it has been evolved. To quote a 1919 College News: Lantern giving was originally only an incident in the impromptu outdoor en- tertainment which the Sophomores gaz'e the l:rcshmcn. The earlier classes re- ceived their lanterns in broad daylight after an outdoor play and had first to undergo a sereve oral quizz at the hands of the Sophomores. Later the ceremony was transferred to the night when the Freshmen received their caps and gowns and was moved from the campus to the cloisters. Originally new Lantern Songs were composed by the Freshmen and Sopho- mores every year. Since the class of 1901 first sang it, however, 1893's class song, Pallas Athena Then, has been thej Continued on Pace Six Though I have not outstripped the rest of you by much I have at least been here long enough already to wel- come the faculty and students, grad- uate and undergraduate, on this final day of September which begins the forty-sixth year of Bryn Mawr�to welcome you with warmth. For the Bryn Mawr which I have thought of in these nine months of absence has not been the silent buildings disposed picturesquely on empty greensward to which I actually came back two weeks ago, but the livelier, noisier, and more gayly-colored place which half woke when the freshman class arrived on Wednesday and came to itself entirely this morning. To this Bryn Mawr I rejoice to return. In the folder of one of the Zermatt hotels appears a sentence, "In the Alpine heights of Miss Thurston and Miss Nichols Give Impression of Freshman Week As 1931 Sees It Parade Night Parade Night last Wednesday was successful for the third class in the ' past five years. The Freshmen kept their song a secret "and marched to the Lower Field exultantly singing to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," to the great discomfort of '33. Sing- (Specially contributed by Lois M. Thurston. '31) The chief criticism of Freshman week in the past has been that there was not enough for the Freshmen to do. This year, I think, was an im- provement in that respect, because of the tennis and hockey tryouts, the ten- nis tournament, and the teas in Good- hart. Nevertheless, I am afraid that there w\tre a fairly large number of Freshmen who felt themselves in a strange place surrounded by strangers. Once classes start one slips easily into the routine and the passage of time is much less slow; but in the first days with little or nothing to do, after or before the various interviews or exam- inations have taken place, it is difficult to make adjustments, as the conditions to which Freshmen must adjust them- selves are to them more or less un- known quantities. Before Freshmen week was inaugurated the difficulty was that of having too many adjust- ments to make at once. The present system certainly has many advantages over the former, but it might be better -if - freshmen �eelr were -made a~ little shorter. This probably would be hard to manage since even now it is difficult for the President and Dean to have in- terviews with all the Freshmen before college starts. Another possibility is that, often-suggested before, of starting Lantern Night practices. This could be done if, with the help of the Junior song-mistress, the voice tryouts could >e finished sooner. However, although some of the Freshmen may find the � week rather tedious, it is on the whole a valuable institution. It gives them an oppor- tunity to orient themselves, and to the upperclassmen who return for it a chance to meet and become acquainted to a certain extent with the entering class. As 1934 Sees It (Specially contributed hy M. Xichols. '34) Was it only two weeks ago that we boarded the Paoli Local f�r me nrst tune, hoping, whispering, and speculat- ing on the possibilities of the girl across the aisle? And then the taxi dumped us into the seething confusion of our partners in adventure, who smiled, shrieked, or wondered until ginger ale," pretzels and an'upperclass man launched us on our erratic course through Freshman Week. - FresftmerMearn lots of astonishing things those first few days: that one really does have to be vaccinated, that there's a Self-Government exam to be passed, and that infirmary services are free: but hardest of all to believe is the fact that a short while ago there was no Freshman Week. When. Miss Park told us this, we smiled a smile of pity for those poor unfortunates who used to find themselves at Required English class, tortured by a mental picture of a frenzied dean plotting re- venge on the missing victims of inter- views, who were so pressed for time that we're surprised some didn't drink the H2S04 when they finally did ar- rive at Chemistry Lab. Fortunately, that tarly fog has swiftly- and smoothly lifted, cleared under the various guidance of the Bryn Mawr League, the Undergraduate Asso- ciation and Self-Government. Any one of us will tell you that silence must be observed in the Library and which are the Senior steps in IfflBt 01 lUylW. C� tain well known college figures begin to stand out. The Chairman of the Executive Board, President of the Ath- letic Association and President of Var- sity Dramatics, Freshman week did so much for us that we can tell�But wait, here comes- the editor of the News!--------:----------------t------------�;� Zermatt the weary and the pessimist may assuage their moral lassitude." And here to Bryn Mawr I h,ave come to assuage mine. But it is the only lassitude I need to cure! That "dying lady lean and pale" who tottered forth among you last year has gone forever. A good part of the light-hearted pleasure which filled all my holiday to overflowing is due to the combined kindness and competence of many people, faculty, staff and students, above all to the Acting President and Dean of last year who not only at- tended to all college affairs to iny com- plete satisfaction but who were gen- erous enough to carry through the business of the. year with hardly a cable to disturb my peace. It was not until I came back to my desk that I realized with what complicated and long pieces of business they had dealt. My only alarm is that having been necessarily away from the elementary instruction on the schedule which was administered. I hear, to the faculty and the students I shall never understand it! I thought of them with insufficient but still deep gratitude through the year and that gratitude is more in- structed and deeper now. Fewer Undergraduates The college opens formally this morning with 397 undergraduate stu- dents as contrasted with the four hun- dred and nine of last year's opening day. Every ro.om again is filled, but happily there are fewer non-residents awaiting residence and watching for a vacant room. The freshman class numbers one hunTrred and seven as contrasted with one hundred and twenty last year and onc^hundred and twenty-seven the year before. This^. twice repeated decrease in the fresh- man class is due.to a healthy and re- assuring fact: namely, that in the last two years there are fewer rooms left vacant by the upperclass students, de- spite the fact that this year in June an unusually large senior class was grad- uated. It is a more profitable piece of work for the college to carry its students through four years of train- ing, of which the last two are the most interesting to both parties concerned, than to accept a large number ^f first- year students each autumn and find a considerable fraction leaving after one year or two with no experience of or pn.lii from advanced work. The small number of vacant rooms, however, made the problem of admissions diffi- ettk and *g�m � Urg�r number of girU who had completed all requirements of entrance had to be refused admission.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Pledge Multi Surface II Antibacterial Cleaner
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
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.
Pledge Multi Surface II boasts antibacterial power (rare among combination glass multi-surface cleaners), but you'll pay for that added benefit. While the most inexpensive cleaners in our test run as little as nine cents per ounce, Pledge will set you back 41 cents per ounce. You'll see the results though; the cleaner did a good job getting tough stains off of all of our test surfaces, from laminate countertop to stainless steel. It also claims to clean a wide array of materials ranging from chrome to plastics and electronics to wood. Our biggest gripe: Pledge left some of the worst streaks on glass of any cleaner in our test.

Addison Gallery of American Art
From Andover Answers
Built in 1931 on the campus of Phillips Academy, the Addison Gallery of American Art was the first gallery devoted entirely to American Art. The museum owns approximately 1500 paintings. In 2007, plans are underway to increase the size of the gallery by 60%. More museum space, storage and a library will be added from part of a $5 million donation by former student Thomas Israel.

Just got rearended at a stop light by a girl using a cell phone. Police officer came, told me it was silly for wanting a police report, after I insisted twice more that I get a report, he walked away saying he would make a report but it was silly.
He didn't talk to me after that except to hand me back my information. He did talk to the girl that hit me. I haven't seen the police report but I doubt there is any information about the girl using her cell phone when she hit me, and while he did talk to her after giving he back her information, I didn't see him hand her a ticket for using her cell phone while driving. As I said, he said it was pretty silly for him to make a report. Obviously, he wanted her to face the least amount of "trouble" for hitting me. There shouldn't be a law against using a cell phone while driving if people who break that law don't face consequences. He asked me no questions about the accident. He was really, really, really bothered that I wanted him to take the time to make a report.
I have no confidence in the impartiality of the police in enforcing the laws.

More flag blocks + Olympic fever
37 comments:
You know, I wanted to cross stitch blocks for my sister who moved a lot as a Navy wife, then put them into a quilt -- but this is a fantastic idea for my brother in the State Department who has lived all over the place with his wife and kids. He's thinking of retiring after his next posting, which is a four year post so I could get a HUGE head start on this! You are a genius and I'm thrilled I found some quilting blogs! I hope you laugh -- I saw Notre Dame and I looked at the flag and I thought to myself, "our colors are blue and gold -- what the heck is she talking about and what do Monet and French pancakes have to do with my alma mater?" A genius I am not! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sleep deprived from watching the Olympics this week! Love your flag blocks & the flag quilt showcased on Generation Q Magazine today.
I laughed so hard at Mr. Bean playing with the Symphony & running with the 'guys' of Chariots of Fire!! And I was so happy to see that Voldemort was vanquished by the Mary Poppinses!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Of course not, since the 90s babies are the ones that are having kids now and holding jobs that bring in the monies. And I know if they're screwing around and don't follow through cartoon network will never air in my house ever again I'll cave and watch the epic crap pile that is disney first.

SamMan wrote:Q: When is Toonami coming back?!
A: Saturday, May 26th - starting at midnight.
Q: Is Steve Blum going to voice TOM?
A: Yes.
Q: What shows are going to be on?
A: Here is the schedule for launch night, taken from AS's official schedule page.
12:00 AM - Bleach
12:30 AM - TBA (To Be Announced)
1:00 AM - TBA (To Be Announced)
1:30 AM - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
2:00 AM - TBA (To Be Announced)
2:30 AM - Cowboy Bebop
3:00-6:00 AM - Block Rerun
Q: TBA? What shows are going to be there?
A: According to co-creator of Toonami, Jason DeMarco, those 3 shows are going to be kept a surprise until launch night.
Q: Are we getting a new TOM?
A: Probably not with how lightning fast we were able to get Toonami back on the air. The teaser pic with TOM looks exactly like TOM 3.0 with subtle differences (silver paint not being present). It doesn't matter though!
Q: The adultswim press release said that "Adult Swim is also developing new original anime programming for fans" for Toonami, what does that mean?
A: Exactly what it says. Those might fill in the unknown spots for the schedule.
Q: But doesn't that cost lots of money? Isn't it cheaper to just get airing rights to classics/new anime?
A: Who knows!
Q: How can I show my appreciation to AS for bringing back Toonami?
A: Tweet them (@adultswim), use any toonami hashtag, post about it on your favorite forums, and lastly watch it every Saturday to make sure it never gets cancelled again!
Q: If the Toonami schedule ends up having shows I don't like, can I complain about it everywhere?
A: No. Let them try new things. It's the least we can do since they're giving us Toonami this fast! If it doesn't do so swell in terms of ratings, they will adjust it themselves, just don't pester them about the schedule and lastly, take Toonami for granted.
Q: Are there any Toonami promos out?
A: Keep an eye out on this thread.
Q: I have more questions, when can I get the answers to them before Toonami launches?
A: Co-creator of Toonami, Jason DeMarco, is going to be tweeting more info about Toonami this Monday, May 21st on twitter. This is an opportunity to ask questions, he does respond!

Make sure you guys tune in for yourselves at Saturday. DO NOT TRUST ANY SCHEDULE AT ALL.

el dorado forges ahead with hands-on design.

The firm added a rainscreen-clad vertical circulation area and rooftop sunroom to this adaptive reuse home with a ground-floor restaurant.
Kenny Johnson
The five principals at el dorado—David Dowell, Douglas Stockman, Jamie Darnell, Dan Maginn, and Josh Shelton—gather in the doorway of their steel workshop in Kansas City, Mo.
The concrete structure of 5 Delaware Lofts, a 2005 condo project with 12 residential units and one retail unit in Kansas City, Mo., conveys an impression of solidity and permanence. Pared-down detailing – a favorite el dorado strategy – provides an elegan
Work by el dorado often uses translucent surfaces, such as the channel glass at this custom house in Kansas City, Mo., to diffuse and soften natural light.

Green roofs top an unbuilt courtyard housing project designed for a competition. "We're doing more competitions as a way to get outside ourselves a little bit," says principal David Dowell.
The Holbrook Loft features exposed wood ceilings and an el dorado-made staircase of glass and steel.
Deep overhangs shelter outdoor spaces during sudden Midwestern rainstorms.
It's housed inside the W Lofts, a Kansas City, Mo., adaptive reuse project also designed by the firm.
It's not easy for an outsider to catch the folks at el dorado in an entirely serious moment. The Kansas City, Mo., firm's five partners recently used the 1980s hair band Def Leppard as a reference point in an architectural lecture. Clicking on "Mission" on their Web site takes you to a screen that says, "We don't have a mission statement." The group's offbeat, deadpan sense of humor harmonizes with their pronounced aversion to the idea of the heroic, Howard Roark-style architect.
But when it comes to designing buildings and running a business, no one approaches a project or goal with more intensity than el dorado. Take, for example, the firm's longtime focus on in-house fabrication. The three original principals—Dan Maginn, AIA, LEED AP; Jamie Darnell, AIA, LEED AP; and Douglas Stockman, who met while working together at BNIM Architects in Kansas City during the 1990s—decided they wanted to learn more about working with steel. "We can't learn everything, so let's pick one thing and learn it well," Darnell recalls thinking. He convinced Maginn, Stockman, and a couple other designer friends to take welding classes with him at a vocational school 45 minutes away. And after leaving BNIM he spent six weeks working at FACE, a New York City design and fabrication firm. In 1996, the five friends opened up a steel workshop, architecture studio, and art gallery in the Crossroads, a burgeoning arts district of Kansas City. Developer Brad Nicholson, with whom the firm still works from time to time, sublet a 10,000-square-foot industrial space to them for $600 per month. They invested countless hours experimenting with steel, getting to know its properties inside and out.
Around 1998, Darnell, Maginn, and Stockman felt ready to turn their casual operation into a full-fledged company. The other two designers left, and David Dowell, another BNIM alum, joined as a principal. At his suggestion the four of them took a 12-week business class at Kansas City's Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, a nonprofit that encourages entrepreneurship. "It was one of the best things we did," Maginn says. Nothing they learned in class discouraged them from pursuing the steel fabrication component of the business, so the workshop remained a fundamental part of el dorado.
The firm continues to create steel furniture, staircases, railings, and other details. Much of that work is for its own projects, but it also takes on outside commissions, such as the design and fabrication of the reception desks at Steven Holl, AIA's 2007 addition to the nearby Nelson–Atkins Museum of Art. Through four moves, the shop has always stayed in the same building as the architectural office. In el dorado's current location, another old warehouse in the Crossroads that the partners bought and transformed in 2005, it occupies the ground floor. An interior window in the lobby provides a glimpse of the shop before a galvanized steel stair leads visitors to the more polished studio. There, faint sounds of metalworking from downstairs blend with the ambient rumble of trucks and trains passing through the neighborhood.
The workshop helps differentiate el dorado from other firms. And it gives the company more control over the cost of a project. But its most essential role is to direct the way the partners (and the office's eight additional designers) think about design. "You need to really understand materials before you do something to them," Maginn says. "Steel is in every project we do. Our understanding of it on an intuitive level helps us find the clearest way to solve something using steel, in a way that works for steel. Then we tweak it just a little bit—about 5 percent. It's part of our shared language of details." He, Darnell, Stockman, Dowell, and Josh Shelton, who became a principal in 2002, always put materials first when thinking about a design, no matter what those materials are. "We would never say, Here's my design, now what should we build it out of?" says Darnell, who is finishing up work on his own corrugated copper-clad, SIPs-framed house in the city's Westside neighborhood. "For us, the form and material work together. That's why my house is boxy—it's because of the SIPs, not the other way around."

A documentary that examines the complex relationship people have with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It's a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It's about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It's about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
