Here is another link.
My brain! What did you do to my brain? +1 from me, although I wish you'd put them in a bookcase, so it would be clear that they really are rectilinear.
Thank you both for your feedback and comments. As for the bookcase that was also my idea, but since I didn´t have much time to work on this and try different approaches, I ended up using a safe one that would guarantee the optical illusion worked.

For anyone not familiar with this optical illusion - Cafe Wall Illusion
I think the illusion is great but I don't like the title - it states reading is detrimental.

I understand your point, but I think you´re "reading too much" into that title. It´s just a simple play on words, between the damaged vision and the fact that our brain trick us into seeing something different from what is really there.

If that is what you meant the title to mean, that our brains can trick us into seeing something different from what is really there (the damaged vision), then there is no correlation with reading, unless reading is in fact the cause.
How about "Stories can blur the lines of reality."
Still, I'd vote for it because the shirt doesn't have the title on it. The illusion is baffling. I clicked on the link to wiki and then back to your shirt and actually followed the horizontal lines with my finger. It's like an Escher.
Thanks again for the comments and support! And thank you, Robert!!

Evening Music Presents Exclusive Broadcast Premiere of Anonymous 4 CD
Commissioned by the combined forces of Anonymous 4 and the London-based Chilingirian String Quartet, The Bridegroom is an ecstatic, mystical work imbued with slow-moving harmonies and radiant vocal textures. The work is based on the biblical parable of the wise and foolish virgins, in which ten virgins await a wedding feast. As the story goes, five virgins are prepared with enough oil for their lamps to greet the bridegroom's sudden arrival at midnight. The other five are not prepared and, without light, are barred from the wedding feast and cast out into darkness. In Tavener's own words, "The quartet of strings represents the Bridegroom and the female voices represents us, full of longing...The music should be almost unbearable in its ecstatic light, its endless melodic arch".
The Bridegroom had its world premiere in the Queen Elizabeth Hall in October 2000 as part of the South Bank Centre's Tavener Festival, Ikons of Light. Following concerts in Norway, the octet crossed the Atlantic to give the North American premiere in California, followed by several performances including the New York premiere at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in March 2001.
Anonymous 4's long-standing association with WNYC dates to 1999 when the station commissioned two works for the ensemble: Steve Reich's Know What is Above You, and Richard Einhorn's A Carnival of Miracles. Both were premiered in a New Sounds Live presentation at The Arts At St. Ann's in Brooklyn. Since then, the ensemble has given several live performances, including recent appearances on Soundcheck.
More about Anonymous 4 and the Chilingirian Quartet
Anonymous 4--Marsha Genensky, Susan Hellauer, Jacqueline Horner and Johanna Maria Rose--came together in 1986 as an experiment with the sounds of medieval chant and the polyphony of higher voices. The group's initial performance was a surprise success, and since then, Anonymous 4 has recorded extensively and has toured throughout the world. The bulk of the quartet's sound comes from published music stored in monastaries and abbeys from the Middle Ages. Anonymous 4 gets its name from an unknown 13th-century Englishman who, as a student in Paris, wrote about the vocal polyphony then being performed in Notre Dame's cathedral.
The Chilingirian Quartet formed in London in 1971 and gave its first concert in 1972. The quartet -- Levon Chilingirian, Charles Sewart, Asdis Valdimarsdottir and Philip De Groote -- has also toured the world and recorded many albums. The four players are now the quartet-in-residence at the Royal College of Music in London. The Chilingirian has a strong association with several contemporary British composers, Tavener in particular. Tavener wrote both his 2nd and 3rd string quartet compositions specifically for the group, and had them in mind for The Bridegroom.

Debut Cruise
M.S. Mount Washington makes its first cruise of the season

"It's a little chilly, but it's good to be out here again," said Smith.
"We actually thought ice-out was going to be even later because it was such a long winter," Smith said. "But Mother Nature decided to fool us. We can just hope the weather keeps getting better."
"It was so cold so late, we have to watch for ice pieces as we cross the lake, as well as other debris, sometimes bob houses are left out and we find them, or pieces of them, floating along our way," Smith said.
The Mount Washington operates May through October, offering daytime and evening cruises, as well as special "theme" cruises. It is a popular venue for school proms, college gatherings, and large corporate celebrations.

4alpha2 DVD i586 with default LXDE installation
Shutdown, Reboot, Suspend or Hibernate are offered but do nothing.
Steps to Reproduce:
I remember when testing for mageia 3 isos we had an issue with these options not being offered which was due to policykit not starting. It isn't currently starting either (see bug 11159) but the options are offered now and once policykit is started they still do nothing.
Created attachment 4323 [details]
journal.txt showing before and after enabling policykit & reboot
Attaching journal.txt showing boots with and without policykit enabled
valid 4alpha3
*** Bug 10953 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
same on Mageia 4 Alpha 3 x64
Valid 4beta1 still.
rpm -qa | grep polkit shows..
report.bug.xz is attachment 4479 [details]
OK, so this is really just about logind. In lxsession, it starts by asking logind via dbus whether it can shutdown and invokes the appropriate code thereafter.
Looking at the source, I can see obvious errors. The GError structure is passed around uninitialised and even the function prototypes do not match their implementation. This is horrible code :( Just running the lxsession-logout binary manually clearly shows the assertions in the glib dbus code which checks the error structure.
Seems it was broken in https://github.com/lxde/lxsession/commit/2b9a246046eea0bb5130a63f7476b81ceaafd1fd which was clearly not tested.
It's since been reworked at lot and I don't have time to poke at this, so just wrote a very quick patch to make things work with the current setup.
Should be resolved in next build. Ugg.
Thanks for sorting this one out Colin, it's been problematic for a while now.
I had this problem and I solved it as follows:
apt-get purge systemd
then your system will revert to using consolekit which apparently the buttons need. It had me stumped for a while because the buttons worked on 3 of 4 boxes that I installed LXDE but not on the 4th box.
(In reply to mike marmer from comment #11)
> I had this problem and I solved it as follows:
> apt-get purge systemd
> ---------------------------------
Erm, this is just so wrong it's not even funny!
1. apt-get is not a native Mageia command.
2. If you remove systemd, you can no longer boot on Mageia as it's the only supported init system.
> then your system will revert to using consolekit which apparently the
> buttons need.
ConsoleKit is legacy and is not even shipped on Mageia any longer so this is doubly wrong.
> It had me stumped for a while because the buttons worked on 3
> of 4 boxes that I installed LXDE but not on the 4th box.
It's still the wrong solution. Instead of burying your head in the sand, try fixing things *properly*. I fixed the problem in Mageia by actually understanding the problem and fixing it at the code level. It needs further fixes to properly adapt to logind, but your "fix" is anything but! It's a totally unsupported and invalid fix!
For reference the fix is here:
It's also not a "Works For Me" resolution but a "Fixed" one. Please do not mess about with already resolved bugs and change the status and meaning of the resolution.

Charlotte hotels map
View mapCharlotte intro. Nestled in the central southern part of North Carolina, Charlotte is a rapidly expanding city that also caters for tourists thanks to its ever expanding wide range of attractions, sports events and cheap discounted hotels. Rather conveniently, most of the hotels in Charlotte are located either uptown or near the University and there are many places to stay located near the city's bustling and eventful International airport. Sports are the main attraction in town and because of this, Charlotte hotels offer packages and transport to and from the NASCAR track in nearby Concord. If sports aren't your thing however, you can also find some of the best museums in the country such as the Mint Museum of Art and Discovery that are also well worth a visit. Hotels in Charlotte are always busy due to the fact that the city has an eventful sports calendar. In terms of climate, Charlotte is at its hottest from July to August and cools down from October onwards.

{module ad_left_body}The nation-wide search begins today with the launch of an audition website where Berry Gordy tells you what he is looking for in the young man who will get to play these iconic characters on the Broadway stage.
Easy as One, Two, Three
To qualify, the right actor/singer/dancer will need a phenomenal high tenor singing voice and be able to move and sound like Michael Jackson in his Jackson 5 days.
Full details are on the MOTOWN The Musical website casting page: www.MotownTheMusical.com/Casting
n Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, was discovered in 1968 by Berry Gordy as part the pop phenomenon The Jackson 5, when he was 10 years old.
n Superstar Stevie Wonder was 11 years old when he first recorded for Motown in 1961.
n Berry Gordy, mischievous youngster from a middle-class family in '30s Detroit, a bit of a hustler and bit of a dreamer
What's Going On?
Producers Kevin McCollum (Rent, Avenue Q, In the Heights, The Drowsy Chaperone), Doug Morris (Chairman and CEO of SONY Music Entertainment) and Berry Gordy are proud to announce that MOTOWN The Musical, based on the life of iconic Motown founder Berry Gordy,will open in the Spring of 2013 on Broadway at a Nederlander Theatre to be announced.

Obamas take on problem of obese children
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Alarmed that nearly a third of U.S. children are obese or overweight -- and likely to stay that way all their lives -- President Barack Obama launched an initiative on Tuesday to roll back the numbers and put his wife in charge of promoting it.
Obama signed an executive order setting up a task force to include Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and other cabinet officials.
"I have set a goal to solve the problem of childhood obesity within a generation so that children born today will reach adulthood at a healthy weight," Obama said in signing the order on Tuesday at the White House.
He asked first lady Michelle Obama to head up a national public awareness effort.
"She will encourage involvement by actors from every sector -- the public, nonprofit, and private sectors, as well as parents and youth -- to help support and amplify the work of the federal government in improving the health of our children," Obama said.
"Obesity has been recognized as a problem for decades, but efforts to address this crisis to date have been insufficient."
He assigned his cabinet officers to meet within three months and come up with "a comprehensive interagency plan."
Reports on the U.S. obesity epidemic have recommended such an approach.
The independent Institute of Medicine has found in several studies that Americans will have to exercise more, eat less fatty and sugary food and eat more fruits and vegetables to overcome obesity and the heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other health problems it brings. Continued...

KODO: DADAN 2017 North American Tour
Kodo will present their program DADAN in North America for the first time, visiting 22 U.S. cities between January and March 2017.
DADAN was created by artistic director and Japanese "Living National Treasure" Tamasaburo Bando. Simply meaning "Drumming Men", DADAN features only the company's young male members and is unique among Kodo's programs in its absence of singing, dancing, flutes and female performers. Instead, this production exclusively uses taiko drums of all shapes and sizes, as well as other forms of percussion.
The climax of DADAN features a succession of compelling solos, and with each new drummer's relentless and rhythmic pounding of the hirado o-daiko (big low drum), the reverberations build to soul-stirring heights. DADAN simultaneously challenges the limits of the player's physical, technical, psychological and spiritual talents. For a preview of DADAN, click HERE.

May 15, 2012
Phillip Fulmer is the newest member of the Tennessee Volunteers family to reach the College Football Hall of Fame. He was named to the 2012 class during a Tuesday ceremony in New York City by the National Football Foundation and becomes the 22nd former UT player or coach to earn enshrinement. Fulmer is the first Vol gaining entry into the College Football Hall of Fame since offensive guard Chip Kell in 2006.
Fulmer led the Vols to the very first BCS National Championship after the 1998 season, finishing 13-0 with a 23-16 victory over Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl. The 1997 and 1998 Vols remain the last teams to repeat as SEC champions, and Fulmer coached Tennessee to seven SEC Eastern Division titles in 16 seasons.
"I am honored to be joining such an elite group of coaches selected to The National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame," said Fulmer. "There are so many people to thank , but it must start with my wife Vicky and my children. It was never a job for us, but very much a lifestyle. They certainly sacrificed a lot for me to live my passion."
"I am grateful to my wonderful staff who worked so hard and stayed so loyal to UT for many years. They did their jobs well, and were great mentors and examples for our young men.
"I am proud of the many outstanding young men that played for us. They trusted us to come to Tennessee, worked really hard for us, and were rewarded with the best era in modern Tennessee football. There are hundreds of special relationships that will be there forever.
"I appreciate so much Joe Johnson and Doug Dickey, who gave me the opportunity and guided and supported me so well thru the years.
"There are countless loyal Tennessee fans, wonderful friends and administrators, who helped us when we needed help to build and maintain our program. I am certainly proud of our record, but I am just as proud of how we accomplished or goals."
Fulmer's won-lost record of 152-52 figures to a .744 winning percentage, and he left UT as the winningest coach in major college football with at least 10 years' experience. Joining Nebraska's Tom Osborne as the only two coaches to lead a team to a bowl game in each of their first 13 years of coaching, Fulmer led the Vols to a 98-41 record during his final 11 seasons, including four conference title games and one SEC championship, the 1998 BCS Championship, and eight January bowls.
Tennessee's four-year stretch from 1995-98 under Fulmer was one of the best in college football history - a 45-5 record from 1995-98 that culminated in the BCS title game win. For his efforts in that 1998 season, Fulmer was a near-unanimous pick as national coach of the year.
Fulmer led the Vols to 10 or more wins nine times and finished his career 44-37 against ranked teams. Tennessee won six consecutive overtime games from 2002-07, and the Vols became masters of the come-from-behind method of victory, rallying from 18 down against Arkansas in 1998, 21 at Kentucky in 2001, 24 at Notre Dame in 1991 (when Fulmer was offensive coordinator), 17 at Georgia in 2006 and 15 to Vanderbilt in the fourth quarter of 2007 with a trip to the SEC Championship Game on the line.
Fulmer went 11-5 against his biggest rival, Alabama, and led the Vols to the SEC title game five times. Tennessee won two of those nail-biters and lost three heartbreakers, but over the final decade of Fulmer's coaching career, UT never went more than three years without taking a team to Atlanta.
Induction for this year's hall of fame takes place Dec. 4 at the 55th National Football Foundation Annual Awards Dinner in New York's historic Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Tennessee Vols already in the College Football Hall of Fame (and their induction years) are Gene McEver (1954), Beattie Feathers (1955), Gen. Robert R. Neyland (1956), Herman Hickman (1959), Bobby Dodd (player, 1959), Bob Suffridge (1961), Nathan Dougherty (1967), George Cafego (1969), Bowden Wyatt (player, 1972; coach 1997), Hank Lauricella (1981), Doug Atkins (1985), Johnny Majors (1987), Bob Johnson (1989), Ed Molinski (1990), Steve DeLong (1993), John Michels (1996), Steve Kiner (1999), Reggie White (2002), Doug Dickey (2003), Frank Emanuel (2004) and Chip Kell (2006).
Here is the official class from the National Football Foundation:

- R.C. SLOCUM - 123-47-2 (72.1%); Texas A&M (1989-02)
"We are extremely proud to announce the 2012 College Football Hall of
Fame Class," said Manning, a 1989 College Football Hall of Famer from
Ole Miss. "Each year the selection process becomes increasingly more
difficult, but Gene Corrigan and the Honors Court do an amazing
job of selecting a diverse group of the most amazing players and coaches
in our sport's rich history. This class is certainly no exception, and
we look forward to honoring them and celebrating their achievements
throughout the year ahead."
The 2012 College Football Hall of Fame Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Class will be inducted at the 55th NFF Annual Awards Dinner on December 4, 2012, at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York City. They will be honored guests at the National Hall of Fame Salute at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on January 2, 2013 and officially enshrined in the summer of 2013.
Today's announcement was made from The NASDAQ OMX MarketSite in Times Square, which has hosted the event for the past four consecutive years.

Heat pump ice up
We just got a heat pump this fall so we are new to this. We have the York Affinity 3 ton unit and a variable speed air handler. There are 4 (5kw) heat strips in the air handler. I used to have an oil furnace but this has replaced this. I also have a woodburner which I plan on using but have put off to see how this heat pump is working. A few weeks ago the outside unit froze up...it was a cold snap and the temp had been in the teens. The guy told me this was normal but I had him come out..he checked the refrigerant (added a little) and set a jumper on the board. But the temp went back up (into the 30's) and things seemd fine. The unit does run almost continuosly and I see the AUX lite on from time to time. I notice that the ice forms in bands around the heat pump but the defrost cycle seems to melt them off (until now). Now this morning the temp is about 17 and there is ice all over the unit. The weather side looks the worse but it did snow. I have the thermostat set at a continuos 68 and it is only 64 in here. The AUX lite is on but only two of the four strips are being used (checked with amp meter).
So my question is.....could I possibly have a heat pump that is too small for my house? I have a 175 year old house in Ohio and it is pretty well insulated with thermopane windows. It is about 2200 square feet. It does sit on a hill and gets wind. I need to add another one or two cold air returns (I do not have enough volume) and am planning on adding bigger heat run to the kitchen (farthest from the unit). The Manual J called for about a 3.5 ton but York does not have that size. I don't think my guy know all the ins and outs about York either. I am concerned about the ice build up on the unit....my neighbors don't have this.
Any advice would be appreciated... I could post pictures if you want.
Now, if the defrost sensor is not faulty the defrost control board has a 30, 60, and 90 minutes option for defrost cycle. I'm suspecting maybe it was set to 90 minutes instead of 30 minutes defrost cycle. Try switching the defrost cycle to 30.
Sorry, but the York Affinity defrost system doesn't work that way.
It has an on demand defrost system. It uses a NTC thermocouple to determine outdoor temp, another one to determine liquid line temp, and then decides if the coil is frosted enough to need to go into defrost.
There is no timer to set.
Your contractor could have use the 4 ton 2 stage for your house, if your house called for 3.5 tons, and probably should have.
Because now you have an undersized heat pump.
The 4 ton, can be set to move the same air volume as a 3.5 ton.
What thermostat did he install.
I have a Robertshaw 9700i programmable thermostat. I had it on a program similar to the one I had with my oil furnace. I would like to bring the temp down (way down) at night but after the first freeze up., I set it at a constant 68 to see how much the AUX come on. It is only 64 in here though.
Any other advice?
Can you post the entire model number.
Because you said the contractor said teh Affinity doesn't come in a 3.5 ton.
I'm guessing you have a 8T series.
If you can post its mod number, as in is it a YZE, YZB, or YZH outdoor unit.
The Robershaw 9700, is not compatible with the YZE, or YZH model heat pumps.
It is a York Affinity 5t series Model number YZE03611C and the Robertshaw thermostat is 9720i not the one I said before. I posted a picture of the freeze up in MY PHOTO right below my screen name.
You have a multistage system.
And a 2 stage thermostat.
I'm not overly familar with Robertshaw thermostats.
But, the 9725i2 would have been a better thermostat for it.
Its probably your thermostat causing the most trouble of not maintaining temp.
The frost is a bit heavey.
Low air flow at the indoor unit can cause some of that.
Low indoor air flow, causes the outdoor coil temp not to drop like it should as the outdoor temp drops, and the unit won't always go into defrost as soon as it should.
Just an update...our guy came today and manually (with water)defrosted the outside unit. He changed another jumper which is supposed to make a warmer defrost. He did check the refrigerant level (was fine). After he left the heat pump ran for an hour and the AUX lite was on. The temp did not come above 60. We checked and there are no AUX heat strips running. Poor guy has been here in the coldest of weather...wind chill 7 degrees. He said he will check about the thermostat but that is the one the supply house sold with the unit. I am at my wits end...it is going to be a long winter.
Another question. Could these problems be because this unit is too small or it this just related to something else. If my unit is too small...should I get a bigger one or can I improve the heating of this unit with some insulation added, having proper air flow ducts, and possibly insulating the duct work. The basement is an unconditioned space....kinda like an old dungeon. I am worried.....will be out splitting wood tomorrow I guess.
Thanks for any advice
He should check to see if the OD unit is flashing any fault codes.
He should also, measure the readings of the outdoor sensors.
If the OD temp sensor has an open or shorted circuit, it will NOT go into defrost. And should flash a code.
Next, would be a check that the defrost program jumper is on the right pins.
I he moved that to another program. It won't defrost correctly, or at all. As not all boards installed in new units have the program loaded in all the settings for other sizes.(Yours should be set to #3)
Another thing that can cause it, is if the defrost board isn't receiving a constant 24 volts.
It MUST have constant power, even when it isn't runniig, in order for the timer to know how long the compressor has run, since the last defrost.
Another thing for him to check, is that the compresor is in second stage. If the pilot valve on the compressor isn't working, then when its attemps to defrost in first stage, it won't defrost right either.
If he has Hot Heat Pump enabled. Might want to disable it, and see if it defrost better.
Ask him what temp he has the balance point set for.
Should be set about 5° higher then when it really need to come on.
If its wired correctly, and that stat was compatible with your system. And the BP is set correctly, then you should have atleast 1 set of aux heat on, if you have your stat set to 64 and its only 60 in the house.
Call him and ask to set up to have a factory rep come out and check the system also.
The rep will schedule a day to come out.
And will check the system with him.
Adding insulation will help both in heating and cooling. And if the load calc said you need 3.5 tons. Your going to have to lower your cooling needs in order for that unit to cool your house right.
You might want to seal any receps and switches that are on outside walls. And replace or repair any door seals that are worn or leaking air in or out.
Plus caulk around your windows to stop any drafts from them.
This may be his first 2 stage unit. And he may not have had any training on them.
i need a wiring diagram for a york heat pump model no.E1RAO3OSO6D, not going into defrost mode i noticed the hi volt red wire and a low vol red wire looked at one time they were connected but came loose from each other dont no if this has anything to do with it or not.thanks

May 17th through May 23rd. I took my 14 and 18 year old daughters and we stayed in unit 1540. From the moment we walked through the door and hit the lanai we were in love with the place. The view is even better then pictures can provide.
The Condo has everything you need from towels, hand soap, toilet paper, iron, hair dryer, to a fully stocked kitchen, which was gorgeous. The bed was a King size with nice linens and lots of pillows, the couch was comfy and the décor was really cute. We also had pool towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear and beach chairs
The unit is located in a fabulous location so close to everything we needed. Plus it's very Quiet inside, we were not bothered by anyone. Waikiki Beach is just right outside and after walking down Waikiki, believe its the nicest part of the beach. We did not rent a car and found many things were in walking distance and the convenience of shuttles, and bus's and trolleys right out front was great. The aBC stores are right there for a quick pick up of things, but there is a Wal-Mart behind the Mall as well as a Foodland where you can get groceries. They also have a Costco and a Safeway all within a short distance from the Ilikai all huge cost savers. It was so worth the trip out to the flea market held at the aloha Bowl. There is a Trolley that will take you to and from; it has really great deals on trinkets and treasures, clothes, jewelry and even local fruits and vegetables.
The birds eye view from the lanai gives you access to a rooftop luau at the Hilton and a amazing view of the fireworks held right on the beach in front of you on Fridays.
I will come back and book this condo again. Everything was clean, Kat and Hans were super to work with and things couldn't have gone smoother.
Thanks for the great time and helping me give my senior a graduation present she will always remember!

Your Unofficial Urbana Packing List
The most important thing to know about packing for a trip is that you are attempting to outsmart the future version of you.
For example, as you pack, Future You is in your head, feeding Present You ridiculous deception like, "There is no way you will need more than one yo-yo!" and "The conference will probably provide you with free soaps and deodorant."
Trust me on this one: Future You has no idea what he is talking about. It is your job to outwit him so that, when Future You (three weeks from now) decides that he could totally go for some trail mix, he will reach in his bag and actually find some—at which point, thanks to the miracle of quantum physics, he will high-five Present You (now Past You) and thank him for being so smart. This is called "using the space-time continuum," and it is what Stephen Hawking does when he needs a turkey sandwich. (Are you experiencing an uncontrollable urge to watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure right now? That's perfectly normal.)
The Urbana 12 Student Missions Conference is happening in the city of St. Louis, Missouri, in seven days. If you don't know, St. Louis is great town. It's the home of the St. Louis Arch, a place I have fond memories of visiting during my fifth grade class trip. Our teachers told us that the sides of the tram that carries people to the top were lined with mercury, and if we touched them the tram would stop, stranding us high above the ground forever. At the time, I believed them. Looking back, this was the most scandalous and effective lie ever told to get fifth graders to sit still.
Some of us at InterVarsity are already in St. Louis starting the set-up for Urbana. Many more of us will head down on Christmas Day to continue preparations. We are highly confident that at least some of the 16,000 people coming to Urbana will, like most of us, arrive from outside the St. Louis metropolitan area. The English word for this is traveling, and unless you have secured one of the teleporters from Star Trek or are Nightcrawler from the X-Men, this means only one thing: road trip.
What you decide to pack will make or break both your travel and your Urbana 12 experiences. In the interest of not leaving anything up to chance, we offer you the following short list of suggested necessities.
Another person. There is, of course, something to be said for the solo road trip. But bring a friend or two along with you for the ride (and for the conference—they can still register!).
Clothes. To quote the late Mark Twain, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society." This goes for Urbana as well. (Also, St. Louis can be really cold.)
Notebook. Not sure if you've heard, but Urbana will be awesome—five days of wall-to-wall great teaching, incredible worship, and missions insights from global leaders. It might be wise to have something to write down thoughts, ideas, contact info, etc., as you go. Is Future You saying, "Come on, there won't be anything that important to remember"? Clock that fool in the mouth. And bring a pen too. A notebook with no pen is like a Death Star with no exploitable weakness.
Camouflage Bible. There are no plans currently for any wilderness component to Urbana 12. However, it's always better to be prepared. Leave the crossbow at home, though. We do promise that you will not have to hunt for your food.
Ugly Sweater. For the World's Largest Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, of course!
Iron/Alarm Clock. It's an alarm clock! It's a clothing iron! It's an AM/FM radio! It's probably dangerous!
Ultimate Road Trip Playlist. Everyone knows that the best part of a road trip is putting together the soundtrack for it. In the olden days, you were limited to 20 songs per a CD, which is like asking Van Gogh to paint with just primary colors. Thanks to modern inventions like Grooveshark, your Road Trip Playlist is as big as your imagination, or your music collection. The one requirement is that it must contain either "I Would Do Anything for Love" by Meat Loaf, or a song that sounds similar. Non-negotiable. You will be asked about this when you check in at Urbana.
Earplugs. 80 percent of people have some kind of deviated septum. 6.6 percent of Americans have sleep apnea. 47 percent of your friends want to sing in the car while you're trying to sleep. 100 percent of you want to bring earplugs, just in case.
Those are a few of our suggestions, but a more official Urbana 12 packing list is available for those of you who want a little more direction.
What else would you bring?

President Obama Looking Forward to 2014
President Barack Obama held a news conference today in which he put a big emphasis on looking ahead to 2014.
The past year has been marked by a botched rollout of the HealthCare.Gov website and the Affordable Care Act, concerns over the surveillance practices of the NSA and drooping poll numbers for the president. Immigration reform and gun laws were also topics that Obama hoped to overhaul, but failed to do.
Despite all of the ups and downs of the past year, the president said he is looking forward to the new year and a fresh start.
Obama kicked off the year-end news conference speaking about the economy, how it is growing and how it is the strongest it has been in about two years.
But the president took a bit of the beating from the White House Press Corps. They asked him tough questions including if this had been the worst year of his presidency. He replied, "that's not how I think about it."
He also shrugged off questions about poll numbers, saying that if they were the only thing that mattered then he never would have run for president in the first place.
He added, "I knew and will continue to know that there are going to be ups and downs."
The president is expected to sign the compromise deal before heading to Hawaii for the holidays this evening.
On reflecting on the past year he said, "You know, the end of the year is always a good time to reflect and see, what can you do better next year -- that's how I intend to approach it. I'm sure that I will have even better ideas after a couple days of sleep and sun."
