"HOK's distinctive building upholds and continues the Canary Wharf commitment to quality but also provides Barclays with a modern, flexible and functional occupancy which fulfills their business needs."
The move to this new building created the opportunity for an open design to bring about a culture change that would encourage more interaction among Barclays' staff members who had previously been scattered across multiple locations.
Five vertically stacked, south-facing atria maximize natural light in the office areas and provide space for a relaxed, informal working environment. The U-shaped floor plates create visual connections among occupants.
In the event of an emergency, the internal stair cores can accommodate the entire population of the building. This "invacuation" strategy has influenced post-9/11 building design in many major cities.
Below street level, the building provides connections to major retail facilities and to the Canary Wharf Underground Station.

When to visit: Making the most of Christchurch's climate
Visitors always ask – what's the best time to visit Christchurch and Canterbury in New Zealand?
1 / 4
Our answer – tomorrow. Our distinct seasons here in Canterbury, New Zealand, mean you can choose the harvest of autumn, the powder of winter, the blossoms of spring or the beaches of summer.
There aren't many cities in the world where you can ski today and surf tomorrow - all within an hour of the city centre.
There are weather highlights in every season – here's a few insider tips on Christchurch weather, from Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism:
From June to August, Christchurch cools off. Canadian residents wouldn't call it "cold" – but North Islanders beg to differ. Regardless, it's a true winter wonderland.
There's no better base for winter in the southern hemisphere, with 13 fantastic ski areas and a wide range of après activities – from whale watching to alpine spa villages and soaking in natural thermal pools.
Winter attire turns to beanies and boots, and our "Ocean to Alps" view goes snow-capped. Whether from central city hotels or the city's Port Hills, views are panoramic and dramatic, stretching from the Kaikouras toward Arthur's Pass.
Winter rainfall may be less than other times of the year, and the dry conditions make it easy to get out and enjoy the slopes – or at least the spectacular views.
Like most regions in New Zealand, Christchurch and Canterbury has a relatively high proportion of sunlight during the winter months.
Average Winter High Temperature – 12
Average Winter Low Temperature – 3
Our picks on "where to make the best of winter"
- Mt Hutt – Canterbury's largest ski area
- Porters – The closest ski area to Christchurch
- Kaikoura – New Zealand's leading eco-tourism destination, for whale watching and wildlife cruises
From December to February, sunshine and high temperatures come to Christchurch and Canterbury. Within an hour of Christchurch city, there are over 40 safe swimming beaches, from hidden bays to dramatic coastline, surf clubs and sandy peninsulas.
Most places in New Zealand receive over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year. During summer, daylight can last until up to 9:30pm.
Compared to many other countries, New Zealand experiences relatively little air pollution, which makes the UV rays in our sunlight very strong during the summer months.
Average Summer High Temperature – 22
Average Summer Low Temperature – 12
Our picks on "where to make the most of summer"
- Akaroa – A French-inspired village with spectacular harbour views
- Aoraki Mount Cook National Park – summer's special iceberg cruises
- Arthur's Pass National Park – countless day walks and overnight hikes
From March to May, brilliant autumn colours can be accompanied by excellent, settled weather conditions, making it a fantastic time to visit Christchurch and Canterbury.
Colourful changing leaves line the streets in Christchurch's historic districts including Fendalton and the University suburbs.
Autumn and spring in Christchurch are particularly pleasant with average daytime temperatures ranging between 17°C to 23°C, with night temperatures dropping to around 13°C.
Average Autumn High Temperature – 18
Average Autumn Low Temperature – 8
Our picks on "where to make the most of autumn"
- Waipara Wine Valley – including the Mud House Winery and Pegasus Bay
- Selwyn District – including Melton Estate
- Central South Island – from Caroline Bay to Waimate
From September to November, New Zealand's spring weather brings blossoms, festivals and new beginnings – signalled by the bleating of wee lambs in the hills and ducklings on the local Avon River.
Known as "The Garden City," Christchurch turns on an amazing medley of colours in springtime.
Spring in Christchurch is as beautiful as anywhere in the world – and "Daffodil Day" at Otahuna Lodge is a "don't miss."
Average Spring High Temperature – 17
Average Spring Low Temperature – 7
Our picks on "where to make the most of spring"
- Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa
- Terrace Downs Resort
- Rangitata Rafting
So come, enjoy our varied seasons, any time of the year!

Rustichella dAbruzzo Organic Corn Spaghetti specifically addresses the issue of gluten since so many consumers must deal with dietary restrictions due to gluten intolerance. Staying away from wheat-based products including pasta is essential, but not very easy, and often not very tasty. Our Rustichella corn spaghetti makes life just a bit easier and your pasta more than just a bit tastier. It is made only with ground organic corn from Northern Italy and spring water. It pairs well with spinach, peppers, tomatoes, as well as a variety of sauces.
Our corn spaghetti is a wonderful change of pace for all pasta lovers. We find it has a bit nuttier, sweeter taste than wheat pasta and particularly enjoy it with a simple fresh tomato sauce. You will absolutely not miss the gluten!
Each package of Rustichella dAbruzzo Organic Corn Spaghetti contains 8.8oz. or 250g.

Aurora in the News
Homesteaders and Aurora Affirm Support for Casket Protection Program
Des Moines, IA -- Top executives with Homesteaders and Aurora met recently to affirm their joint commitment to the industry-leading Casket Price Protection program. Michael Quinn, Aurora President & CEO and George DeHuff, Chairman of the Board met with the Homesteaders senior management team on August 29.
Following the meeting Quinn said, "There can be no doubt that our companies are completely aligned in supporting the Casket Price Protection program as a way for our customers to create value for their funeral homes and their clients."
Graham J. Cook, Homesteaders President & CEO adds, "We see many opportunities to leverage what each company offers to funeral home owners to help them succeed. Our discussions focused on working together to better communicate the unmatched value of our casket price protection program to our customers, while also increasing the number of participating firms."
The program is now going on its 14th year of existence. Funeral homes that specify an Aurora casket or urn on an eligible Homesteaders policy pay less for the casket or urn at-need than the day that they wrote the pre-need policy.
Aurora and Homesteaders share a long-term commitment to funeral service and each brings greater than 100 years of expertise to the table. With innovations such as Aurora's Advisor customer service system, Aurora provides tools to help funeral homes better reach and serve families.
Homesteaders is focused solely on funeral home success and provides a wide variety of marketing and expertise in support of its customers' business goals along with the safe, secure funding consumers demand.
Homesteaders COO Steve Lang points out that the greatest challenge to any business is helping prospects and customers get the most out of the company's offerings. He says, "That's something we agree we want to work on. Funeral homes can maximize the benefits of this program by specifying Aurora caskets on as many Homesteaders contracts as possible and also ensuring that every eligible claim receives the benefits of price protection."
Aurora Casket is the largest privately-owned funeral service supplier in America. Founded in 1890, the company operates five manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Canada, and provides a full range of burial, cremation, memorial and technology products to funeral home clients. For more information, visit www.auroraadvantage.com.
Homesteaders Life Company (founded 1906) is the pre-need market leader focusing solely on funeral insurance funding and support. It is associated with more than 3,000 funeral homes and 8,000 licensed agents across the United States. Online at www.homesteaderslife.com.

The firm doing PR for Saturday night's Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Robert Guerrero fight emailed us the quotes from yesterday's pre-fight press conference in Vegas. That helpful little guide said the fighters' fathers had "nearly come to blows," but it left out all the fun stuff.
Manufacturing conflict has been a part of boxing's hype machine for as long as we've had boxing. But as you can see in the video above, when Guerrero's father and trainer, Ruben, flipped his shit and repeatedly ranted about Mayweather being a "woman beater," it killed everyone's buzz.
Some background: Mayweather served two months in prison last year after pleading guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery charges stemming from a 2010 assault on his ex-girlfriend, Jodie Harris. He copped the plea only to avoid a trial during which he would have faced felony charges and the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence. Showtime, in a recent hour-long documentary previewing the fight, repeatedly showed Mayweather and his handlers downplaying the severity of the incident, which happened in front of two of Mayweather's and Harris's three children. That prompted Harris this week to provide Yahoo with graphic details of what Mayweather did to her. Harris did this even though she and Mayweather are again friendly and have even been intimate on one occasion since Mayweather got out of prison.
Now watch how Oscar De La Hoya nervously wipes his brow as Ruben Guerrero continues to shout "woman beater" after ceding the podium. Boxing's hype machine has never been known for being scrupulous, but even it has its limits, apparently. Ruben Guerrero might have done more to draw attention to the fight than any of the self-congratulation the fight's promoters and sponsors have been shoveling at everyone for weeks. It just isn't the kind of attention Floyd Mayweather Jr. wanted.

Author Notes: If lemon curd bars are the mafia of citrus bars then grapefruit curd bars are more of a distant second cousin named Vincent. These bars will not sucker punch you in the mouth with citrus. Instead the grapefruit is a more mellow, subtle flavor. The walnut rosemary crust compliments the grapefruit without overpowering it, and the candied rosemary on top gives it that "Oo la la" sparkly look that will make everyone curious to try a piece.
This recipe was adapted from Epicurious (from their candied lemon peel recipe) and The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (from Ina Garten's lemon bars recipe). —Dabblings
Food52 Review: Dabblings Grapefruit Curd Squares come together so easily, before I knew it my entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of these delectable treats. I was amazed at how the grapefruit and rosemary go so well together -- really a deicious combination and one I never would have thought of using. The woodsy flavor of the rosemary with the tart grapefruit with the walnuts and a hint of lemon are a marriage made in heaven. The candied rosemary is beautiful and so easy to make. I will definitely be making these again! —sdebrango
Makes: 20 squares
Candied Rosemary
cup of rosemary leaves (removed from the woody stem)
2 1/2
cups of sugar
Grapefruit Curd Squares
pound of unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2
cups of sugar, divided
cups of flour, divided
cup of ground walnuts
tablespoons of fresh rosemary; chopped finely
teaspoon kosher salt
extra-large eggs, at room temperature
tablespoons of grated grapefruit zest (2 large grapefruit)
cup of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
Confectioner's sugar, for dusting (optional)
Candied Rosemary
- In a small sauce pan, combine the rosemary with 2 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling drain the rosemary through a sieve. Repeat this process two more times.
- Measure 2 cups of the sugar into the pan and add 1 cup of water, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar is dissolved add the rosemary leaves and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low ans simmer, uncovered, until the rosemary leaves are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the rosemary leaves and let them cool.
- Measure the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into a medium bowl and add the rosemary leaves. Toss to coat. It helps to use a fork to help separate the rosemary leaves while tossing them in the sugar. Once all the rosemary leaves are coated remove them from the sugar one at a time with a fork, gently shaking them to remove any excess sugar. Store in an airtight container.
Grapefruit Curd Squares
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- For the crust, cream the butter with 1/2 a cup of sugar until light and fluffy in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of ground walnuts, rosemary, and salt in a bowl. With the mixer running on low, add the flour mixture to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball using extra flour as needed. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking pan, building up a 1/2 inch edge on all sides. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes, until it is lightly browned. Let the crust cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
- For the filling, whisk together the eggs, remaining 2 cups of sugar, grapefruit zest, grapefruit juice, and remaining 1 cup of flour. Pour over crust and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
- To serve, cut into squares and dust with confectioner's sugar, if using, then top each square with some of the candied rosemary.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Eggs Sardou (New Orleans-Style Poached Eggs With Artichoke Hearts, Spinach, and Hollandaise) Recipe
How to make the best meal of the week even better.
Creamed spinach topped with artichoke hearts, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce is a hearty alternative to eggs Benedict, and a New Orleans classic.
Why This Recipe Works:
- We let our creamed spinach slowly simmer and tenderize while working on the artichoke hearts, poached eggs, and Hollandaise, streamlining the process.
- We've taken the most difficult parts of eggs sardou—the poached eggs and Hollandaise—and found foolproof solutions that anyone following our videos can accomplish.
Read more: Sunday Brunch: Eggs Sardou (New Orleans-Style Poached Eggs With Creamed Spinach, Artichokes, and Hollandaise)
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:1 hour
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped (about 1 teaspoon)
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 10 ounces fresh spinach leaves (about 5 cups), roughly chopped
- Dash hot sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 whole canned artichoke bottoms (from one 14-ounce can)
- 8 eggs
- 1 recipe Foolproof 2-Minute Hollandaise (seasoned with a dash of hot sauce, such as Tabasco or Frank's)
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, until just softened, about 3 minutes. Add flour and cook stirring constantly until mixture just begins to brown and flour smells toasted, about 4 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly stir in milk until no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Allow mixture to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and creamy 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in hot sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep warm until ready to use.
While spinach mixture simmers, melt the remaining tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add artichoke bottoms and cook, stirring, until heated but not browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm until ready to serve.
Poach eggs according to this video until whites are set but yolks are still runny. Poached eggs can be transferred to a bowl of warm water with a slotted spoon as they cook to hold until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, divide creamed spinach between 4 plates, place 2 warmed artichoke bottoms on top of each portion of spinach, then place one poached in each artichoke. Top with Hollandaise and serve immediately.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dale Regan, the head of Episcopal School of Jacksonville, was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon by a teacher who had been fired, according to police. That teacher then turned the gun on himself.
"We have full confidence that Dale Regan is already with God and in heaven with our Lord and savior Jesus, but we ask for your prayers as we mourn this great leader," said the Rev. Kathryn Moorehead, dean of Episcopal Cathedral.
Police said Spanish teacher Shane Schumerth, 28, went on campus with an AK-47 in a guitar case, went to the administrative office, shot Regan several times, then killed himself.
Police and firefighters called to reports of gunfire on campus found the bodies about 1:30 p.m.
"No children were involved, we believe, and no one is in danger," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Melissa Bujeda announced within 30 minutes of the shooting.
"First we heard a gunshot, then we heard like eight more. Another teacher came in and said, 'Go to the small office on the side and hide,'" said 11th-grader Maria Boyance. "A lot of people were crying and freaking out, but the teachers stayed calm the whole time."
Teacher Carolyn Cooper said she heard five gunshots.
"I think our headmaster was killed today, and I think it was an unhappy teacher that was fired this morning (that shot her)," Cooper said.
"My heart immediately started racing," Dave Steel said after getting a text from his son. "All I could think of was the worst and come and get my son immediately to make sure he was safe."
Another parent, Shoran Williams, rushed to the school after getting a call from her husband.
"All we knew was there was a shooting and the school was on lockdown," Williams said. "My concern, initially, was for my daughter because I didn't know."
The campus was put on lockdown with multiple police units responding, but parents were allowed to pick up their children on their normal schedule.
"It's a very safe school, wonderful school," parent Lauren Baxter said. "If something can happen here, it can happen anywhere."
Episcopal School sent a message to parents assuring them that all students are safe and that pickup would proceed normally, and that the school will remain closed for the rest of the week and will reopen on March 19, after spring break.
Regan had worked at the school for 34 years and had been head of school for seven years.
"When I was given the news of the tragic death of Dale Regan today, I joined the entire Jacksonville community in being both shocked and saddened," Gov. Rick Scott said in a statement. "My thoughts and prayers are with the Regan family and all who were affected by this awful act. I join with the entire state of Florida this evening in mourning the loss of such a wonderful teacher and leader."
This was Schumerth's second year teaching at Episcopal. The Purdue University graduate previously taught at John E. Ford, a Duval County K-8 public school, where he resigned in 2010.
On his last Duval County Public Schools evaluation in 2009, his overall evaluation was satisfactory, but he was given several "needs improvement" notations, including for classroom management techniques. It said, "Teacher lacks student motivation skills" and "curriculum delivery lacks enthusiasm."

Dean Dahlquist, Carole Lund-quist,
Karen Neslund, Dave Sor-ley
and Bob Sorley.
Nominations for this honor were
first made by a student-faculty
committee containing members
appointed by the student senate
and members from the student
personnel committee.
Their list of qualified candidates
was then approved by the faculty
and submitted to the junior and
senior classes, who chose the final
representatives in a ballot vote.
To qualify for this listing, a
student had to be enrolled in the
college in the fall of 1962 with
plans to graduate between Sept.,
1962, and June, 1964. A cumu-lative
grade point average of
2.0 was another requirement.
Other considerations of the
nominating committee included the
student's contribution or leader-ship
in academic and extra-curri-cular
activities, his citizenship in
college life and his promise of
future usefulness.
Students recognized by Who's
Who each year are nominated
from approximately 775 colleges
and universities. The organization
awards each member a certificate
of recognition and also provides a
placement or reference service to
assist members seeking employ-ment,
scholarships or fellowships.
Direct student election was a
change in method from that which
was used for selection last year,
and the student affairs office is
currently studying the best man-ner
in which future nominations
should be made.
Student affairs office announ-ces
that students interested in
national defense loans should
submit applications to the office
by Friday, Dec. 14.
Potential candidates for the
freshman merit scholarship or
Baptist leadership scholarship
should apply in the admissions
or student affairs office before
Christmas vacation.

Attempting to activate a spirit-ual
reawakening in the church,
the Royal Players will produce
two one-act plays, Conquest of
Burma and Church Militant on
Jan. 10 and 11 at 8 p.m. in the
college auditorium.
Church Militant is a satire on
secularization, written by Dale
Rott of the speech department. Mr.
Rott places in a contemporary
situation the problems of the seven
churches in Revelation and un-folds
the deterioration that de-velops
when the physical takes
precedence over the spiritual.
THE AUTHOR gives us the
church with all its gimics, over-organization
and materialistic in-clination,
pointing out what hap-pens

emphasis of Biblical faith and its
belief in the miracle of the Holy

through satire, Mr. Rott develops
his theme through the use of
such characters as an old-fash-ioned
janitor (Dave Swedberg),
a returned-saint Paul (Don Fore-man)
and the boisterous mem-bership
recruiter (Larry Han-sen).
T. Harrison Bryant will
direct "Church Militant."
Conquest of Burma is the story
of Adonieram Judson—his conver-sion,
his decision to become a mis-sionary,
his endurance of hard-ships
to fulfill God's call and his
continued consecration on the mis-sion
field. Jerry Oas will play
CAROLE LUNDQUIST, as Ann
Judson, will depict the missionary
wife who supports her husband's
endeavors with love and care.
Larry Hansen plays Mr. Hasseltine.
Production of the plays will
involve a minimum use of flats,
lighting, props and costumes.
Mr. Rott cites the following rea-sons
for this concentration on
the acting instead of the techni-cal
aspect of drama:
1. In anticipation of tours—to
facilitate easy travel and setup.
2. To demonstrate to ministers
and other Christian education
workers that drama can be put on
in the church.
3. TO ILLUSTRATE that the
church does not have to go to a
great deal of expense in producing
a play.

Spotlights illumine a manger, a cross and an empty tomb,
as massed choirs proclaim, "The king shall come, and the
giory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it
together, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." And the
voices and brass exalt, "Gloria in Excelsis Deo, Alleluia!"
On a crowded streetcorner in downtown Tokyo, a grin-ning
Santa stands holding a sign whose Japanese characters
announce, "Coffee Shop — One Block!" and across the world

This past summer the Minnesota-
Dakotas region of the National
Student association conducted its
"Project Awareness" at three In-dian
reservations in Minnesota.
Consisting of five-and six-mem-ber
recreation teams, the project
was designed to make area college
students aware of problems facing
the Indians of our state.
ALTHOUGH THE PROJECT last-ed
only six weeks, the Indians
were impressed with the sincerity
of the teams; and the sixteen par-ticipating
students returned with
new perspectives into the prob-lems
of American Indians.
First, the Indians must adjust
to a new "Indian policy" every
four to eight years, and conse-quently
most Indians have ceas-ed
trying to keep up with fed-eral
policy. The Indian bureau
might be placed entirely under
Civil Service, but who is to say
even then an ultimately correct
Indian policy could be establish-ed?
Secondly, all or almost all edu-cation
of Minnesota Indians in pri-mary
and secondary schools is con-trolled
by county school boards.
However, attending school on the
reservation through the sixth
grade, Indian children must then
attend seventh grade in towns
forty to fifty miles from home.
BUS TRIPS daily are time-con-suming,
but the real problem
comes in the Indian's adjustment
to a new and hostile environment.
Indian children, well-adjusted
while attending school at home,
and showing no differences in
ability compared to white chil-dren,
suddenly have more than
the average junior high student's
difficulty in school.
Part of the reason for this dif-ficulty
is that white children have
been indoctrinated at home that
all Indians are "drunken good-for-
nothings" and thus refuse to
accept Indian children. Only an
exceptional Indian will stick with
school when half his friends drop
out before graduation.
PROFICIENT ATHLETES have
a good chance for acceptance, but
the child of average intelligence
and personality is lucky to gradu-ate.
Part of "Project Awareness"
was helping prepare sixth grad-ers
for seventh with a summer
reading program and individual
help in arithmetic and science.
A third Indian problem is work
opportunity. On the reservation, in
wilderness which Indians love,
work is limted to cutting pulp and
working road construction, not
consistent income for a man with
a large family. His family won't
starve, for many Indians live by
hunting and gathering.
TO "WORK" for a living, he
must become one of few Indian
forest rangers or leave the reser-vation.
Coming to the city, he faces
greater competition for any job
he can do; he will be discrimin-ated
against, and eventually re-turn
to the reservation, convinc-by

Dear Editor:
Bethel's policy of closing the
dining hall on Sunday evening in-directly
casts doubt on the sin-cerity
of our view of the Sabbath
as a day of worship and should
be revaluated.
Whether or not Bethel business
provides the stimulus for local
business to remain open Sundays,
we must see our embarrassing
position as fence straddlers; we
stand firmly on a practice that
motivates businessmen to work
on Sunday, while we give intel-lectual
assent to the Sabbath as
a day for rest and worship.
No perfect solution presents it-self

FOLLOWING CLOSELY to this
single text Barth brings us a much

is the glory and meaning of Christ-mas
and that the message is re-vealed
in God's word written to
"The word is," writes Barth, "a
factual and concrete message. It
is an event which happened and
which is still happening."
How is it that we can know the
Word? "He 'came to be flesh,' not
a transformation but an incom-prehensible
WHY DID he come? "Only man
can really confront man."
And how flesh? "Not human na-ture
generally and ideally" but an
ignoble association with the na-ture
of "Adam" man possesses un-der

darkness, an ordinary man to or-dinary
men, is the revelation that

The ideals, ambitions, successes
and failures which have character-ized
the land of Israel issued from
Zionism, that doctrine which de-manded
the land of Israel for the
Jewish people.
For nineteen hundred years the
Jews were dispersed throughout
the world, fighting against preju-dice,
persecution and the curse
of non-identity, all the while
dreaming of glorious Zion. "If I
forget thee, 0 Jerusalem, let my
right hand forget her cunning,"
rang in the hearts of these people.
Out of the chaos of the cen-turies,
a light came forth to
make order and to establish a
goal. Dr. Theodor Herzl, a
Viennese journalist, had a vision
of the Promised Land returned
to the Jews. As the "father of
Zionism," he sacrificed the last
eight years of his brief life to
spreading his idea.
Herzl himself did not see the
day when the Jews received the
land, but he spoke of their des-tiny.

dormitory kitchens, expansion of

give serious consideration to less

attained unto us.
Barth mentions two things fur-ther
about "word was made flesh."
This first is that as flesh the Word
speaks, acts and reveals, but "al-ways
the Word, not the flesh as
And second that "word was made
flesh" is an "equation of unequals
that cannot be solved . . . a unity
not synthetical but dialectic—al-ways
a question, always the an-swer."
OR "REVELATION remains re-velation
by which the veil of di-vine
mystery has been rent. Ex-cept
we see the Cross we can not
hear the gospel at Bethlehem."
Further in the text, "the Word
dwelt among us"—the historical
fact. But the esoteric revelation—
"We beheld his glory!"
And the glory is not of the in-carnation,
for the incarnation is
lowliness, but it is the glory of
the Word visible in flesh.

of "grace and truth," seen as
a parallel to Life and Light (or
Salvation and Revelation). It is
the life which is light beheld in

"To Decide on a Seminary,:
that the amateur is either provok-e•
to search for further meaning
in the art or convinced that the
painting and the world of modern
art is all a rather bad joke.
ABSTRACT ART, however, be-ing
subjective as it is, invites the
amateur to equate his own person-ality
and experience to the paint-ing.
With surprising little effort,
aspects of color, balance and sym-metry
begin to appear and hope-fully
a worthwhile appreciation
for an experience in art becomes
a reality.
The current display by Phyllis
Downs Ames in the student cen-ter
is an especially attractive one.
And it shows a respect for the
problem mentioned above, for the
artist has attempted to integrate
some of the traditional factors of
art with some of the innovations
of recent years.
Typical is the large painting on
the left side of the wall next to
Beatei Bodatevie
the exit, which obviously lacks a
title. In composition, there is a
dominating green giving the feel-ing
of life, and this is set into a
haze of mystery, perhaps because
the artist wanted to illustrate the
shroud of vagueness which hides
the secrets of life.
REGARDLESS of Mrs. Ames'
motives, there is this aura of syn-tillating
mystery contrasted a-gainst
sweeping strokes of bold
green. But the feeling of move-ment
is there, and thus we under-stand
that this stands as an ex-pression
of feeling and should not
be judged by the "traditional" cri-teria.
In "Yellow Sky Dark Hill," more
definite forms appear, as the emo-tion
of gloom can be seen chased
through the apparent countryside
by the omnipotent promises of
sunlight. The theme can be said
to be intense and it is easy to get
enthused about the drama involved
in this painting.
MOST STRIKING is the painting
which hangs immediately to the
right of "Yellow Sky Dark Hill."
It is a magnificent composition
stressing both color and shape.
The moods in a city skyline are
perhaps most accurately portrayed
in this semi-abstract manner be-cause
it captures the realities we
know by experience.
Thus modern art is commonly
employed to communicate in a
subjective way a feeling for the
experience of the artist. He may
then be judged in accordance with
his ability to convey his feeling.

What led Michael Cassidy — born
and raised in So. Africa, educated
at Cambridge in England—to enroll
at Fuller Theological Seminary in
Pasadena, California?
"Circumstances played a part," says
Cassidy, who was welcomed to the
U. S. by a Fuller graduate who read
a letter Cassidy wrote to Billy
Graham while attending the Billy
Graham New York Crusade in 1957.
"But more important," Cassidy
explains, "was the combination I
saw in Fuller graduates of a real
love for Christ with a scholarly
commitment to Holy Scripture."
"At Fuller I have found conviction
on essentials, liberty on nonessen-tials,
and love over all. This has
changed my initial interest in teach-ing
to a greater and greater inter-est
in evangelism. I now intend to
devote my life to evangelical work in
the cities of Africa."

24 and 22 points respectively,
outhustled the Royals to a 37-29
halftime lead. They held an
eight-point lead until a late surge
widened the margin to their
final fourteen point edge.
Rebounding was Bethel's chief
defect as Northwestern held a 38-
14 edge. The game was marked by
many fast breaks and a wide open
offense as both teams scored many
of their points with layups and
close jumpshots.
Bethel suffered their second
straight loss with a 68-63 setback
to Sioux Falls. Bolinder and Baj-uniemi,
with 21 and 20 points re-spectively,
lead a Royal surge
which was unable to overcome
Sioux Falls' early 20-point lead.
Bethel's B team suffered their
first defeat of the season last Tues-day,
Dec. 4, against a tough Mac-alester

points, George Harvey with 11 and
Ed Peterman with 10 led the
scoring for Bethel in their losing
The first half was a see-saw
battle, as the lead changed hands

Foul trouble and a tight Mac

Bethel team in the second half.
The Royals hit only 7 of 13 from

What can you say when a basketball team has lost five of their
first six games? The first three games, all losses, wouldn't have been
quite as hard to take had they not been marked by late-period letdowns
and generally poor play. None of the three opponents were particu-larly
outstanding, and Bethel should have won at least one of those
Even the Morris victory included Bethel's characteristic letdown
before halftime. But the big difference in that game was that the Royals
were able to come on strong in the last period to win. Instead of col-lapsing,
they displayed good team spirit and aggressive play; they
showed that they can play basketball.
Bright spots in the Bethel lineup include Lee Bajuniemi's ball
handling and defensive play, as well as his scoring potential, Phil
Bolinder, improving from game to game, is beginning to find the mark,
scoring 15 points in the Northwestern game and 21 against Sioux Falls.
Freshman Jerry Moulton has been impressive so far, and should im-prove.
Whether or not the Royals will win more games depends a lot
on how much support these three will get from the other two positions.
But even with five outstanding players the team must demonstrate a
willingness to play basketball, marked by aggressive play and some
real fight. Losses are not easy to take, but there is no excuse for let-downs
and sloppy mistakes.
If we're going to play basketball, let's play basketball.

I am not a fan of Clinique but I noticed this rather nice GWP from Harvery Nichols, from now untill 21st June.
Buy 2 things and get:
Buy a third and get:
Yes you get a paw.
A friend on mine who works on an adjacent counter says that the Clinique girls are the worst for gossiping, for generally being lazy (they don't have to try too hard when they have these generous GWP's) and for wiping down counters with Clarifying No. 2. Hmm doesn't Clariyfing lotion go up to number 4 or 5? And 2 is astringent enough to clean table tops with…great.
Nevertheless, their spot the blemish gel is great and only £10, and I want to try out their new creamy eyeshadows so let's see if I have the energy to walk there after work.
In other random purchases, I want to take up baking so I got some pretty sprinkles:
You know one night I will get hungry and just eat them all as a snack.
I got this suspious giftcard from Staples – spend £10 get £10 off? Doesn't that make it a FREE £10 for just being alive?! Ok I am going to try and get some bits of stationary on my break and see if they accept it or if I will be left red faced at the till, whilst the checkout boy rings the alarm and shouts to the manager,' SUSANNN! WE HAVE A FAKE VOUCHER USER HERE!!!'
I got this Chantecaille Les Pass-something palette:
Oh, it is beauty itself. I don't want to use is – shall I keep it pristine or use it? I did set a rule, seeing as I have 2 boxes full on brand new unused cosmetics that I would start using everything – if I get run over by a bus, the Boyfriend will only sell it all in one lot at the car boot sale for £2.50 anyway.
I got American Beauty palette from NARS (now discontined) for £30 from ebay-
Its so BLAH! And, the case doesn't seem to open properly – do you think I can get a refund from my seller? It is wayyy stiff, the kind of still that makes u open it in a fit of rage, only for your finger to slip and chip out a big wedge South Beach Multiple. Isn't Ebay all about Buyers rights these days?!
Finally – I spotted this at my nanas –
I'm a soap maker – I know that Lye water can burn holes in the floor and through your stomach, no problems.
Me: Yo! What are you using this stuff for?
Nan: What?
Me: It's poisonous
Nan: Are you hungry?
Me: This is LYE water it is poisonous
Nan: Don't be silly
Me: It can poison you *reading label* – (Says add to vegetables to tenderize)
Nan: What?
Me: I am going to throw it away
Nan: What?
Me: I am going to throw it –
Nan: Don't be silly I can drink it too. Tastes good
Me: It is very very poisonous!
Nan: Are you hungry
Me: For gods sake
Nan: Who are you?
Anyway – I have been researching this very popular Asian food ingredient, contains Potassium Carbonate rather than Sodium Hydroxide (used in soap) but it is still caustic and highly alkaline. Madness! This stuff can not be used without being dilluted a LOT and it has already been dilluted when it is sold to the consumer.
What was my point?
Don't eat anything your Asian Nan cooks for you!

I am a researcher for the owner of this stained glass like painting. I have found one other but they said they were made on the late 80's early 90's and the owner got this in the early 80's. When it is held up to the light it looks like stained glass. On the back it says Walt Disney Productions and on the front corner is is 1787/20,000. We were thinking it was done in the 40's when the movie released. But after finding the other one I am wondering if the owner may have his dates confused the is was released for the 50th Anniversary of Bambi. It measured right about 12 x 9 including the metal frame. I am hoping the owner of the other one has the wrong info as it sold for about $20. I have contacted Disney and they told me it would take 6 weeks to get back to me. They are in the middle of a huge display installation. So I wait, until then I will share it-Thanks for any info you can offer-

More Stay-At-Home Dads Finding Jobs
Stay-at-home dads are going back to work.
The number of married couples where a mother is employed but the father isn't slipped to just over 1.45 million in 2013, the Labor Department said Friday, down from about 1.5 million the prior year and a peak of nearly 1.79 million in 2009.
The annual report analyzed the employment status of husbands and wives living in the same household with children under 18.
At the high point in 2009, 7.4% of that group had a mom who worked and a dad who didn't. The surge in stay-at-home dads drew media coverage, created a new culture of dad groups and engendered dad-style parenting.
But last year, 6.3% of couples fell into the category of a mom who was employed and a dad who wasn't. While still above pre-recession levels, the figures suggest rising employment in male-dominated industries has lured some dads out of child care and back into the workforce.
Meanwhile, the number of married couples where the father was employed but the mother wasn't rose to 7.21 million last year—or about 31% of such couples—from 7.19 million in 2013. In 2007, there were 7.6 million such families.
Some stay-at-home dads say the latest data may not capture broader societal trends. "More and more dads are in the role of an at-home dad," said Lance Somerfeld, co-founder of the NYC Dads Group. "What's changing the most are the lines of what truly make someone a stay-at-home dad. That's where things are getting blurry."
In the New York City group, for example, many fathers work part-time but remain primary-care givers for children, said Mr. Somerfeld, who takes care of his 5-year-old son. "Dads are being more creative in the work that they do," he said.
It's a particularly viable choice as married moms are increasingly earning more than fathers. A Pew Research Center study last year found that "among married couples with children, the proportion in which the wife's income tops her husband's has increased from about 4% in 1960 to 23% in 2011."
But the job market for male workers has been improving. During the downturn, job losses among men outnumbered those among women by 2.6 to 1. That's because men dominate employment in goods-producing industries like construction and manufacturing that were particularly hard-hit during the recession. Health-care and education jobs were relatively more stable.
Since the labor market bottomed out, men's employment has outpaced women's. While still not back to pre-recession levels, construction has added more than a half-million jobs from its recent low point, and manufacturing has recovered 626,000 since factory payrolls cratered.
Overall employment for males peaked at 70.9 million in 2007, bottomed out at 64.7 million in December 2009 and rebounded to 69.8 million last month, according to the latest payroll data.
Still, stay-at home dads say the statistics don't capture modern American family life. "Mothers and fathers are finding all kinds of unique ways to take care of their families," said Al Watts, president of National at Home Dad Network and a stay-at-home dad for his four children. "Men are stepping up to the plate."

Department of healthy (Ex-) sense
Did you know a "wrong" IP class may withdraw the explosion-proof character of an Ex-certified device?
Frequently it is assumed an Ex certified component is suitable for any hazardous areas. However applying the correct IP class is as important as a gas group or temperature class to use it safely.
A (Ex) certified device usually has a minimum IP class of IP54. Nowadays many devices have a much "higher" IP rating of IP65 or more. First let's have a look at what IP coding actually means:
IP class according to IEC 60529 describes protection against dust and water.
We are naturally inclined to consider the "highest number" as a better IP class.
However, this is not always correct. Firstly, it is important to know what we are looking for: dustresistace or waterresistance.
The IP class describes two very different aspects, for example IP54:
Protection against objects and dust resistance.
When we look at dust resistance for the environment, the first number is important to read:
Up to IP4X we speak of "protection against objects" and gives this type of protection no protection against dust.
IP5X and higher provides protection against dust.
IP6X is compatible with lower classification 0X up to 5X.
Protection against ingress of water
The second number describes the waterproofing. Lets start with the classes to X6:
The first class is afforded protection against water. A device with IPX6 meets the lower classes X0 to X5.
However, we consider the "higher" classes for waterproofing X7, X8 and X9, they should otherwise be noted:
IPX7 / X8 or X9 should be subject to a fundamentally different kind of test than the lower IP classes for water resistance and they cannot be seen as "compatible" for the classes X6 and lower.
Dust- and waterproof classes must be separately evaluated. The use of an improperly selected IP class may endanger the safe operation of a device in an explosive atmosphere. Healthy (Ex) common sense can prevent this.
Higher classifications IP6X for dust resistance meet the requirements of the lower classifications. Up to IPX6 the same applies to water resistance.
A device with IPX7, X8, or X9 class, for water resistance, isn't by definition suitable for environments that require a lower IP classification.
Of course it is still possible that a IPX8 classified device can meet "lower" IP ratings, provided it is tested by the manufacturer or a Notified Body. Manufacturers should advise their customers and also inform them correctly.
If a certain water resistance class is required, it is imperative to select equipment that is specifically tested for this purpose, as specified by the manufacturer. Therefore it is not obvious that "higher" classes are always better.

Hickey's Bar
First off the donation bell has rung from a donor who prefers to remain anonymous. This person sent in a more than generous donation of fifty bucks and it's not the first time he's donated. I thank you very much, this bar crawl isn't cheap and I appreciate you picking up the tab for tonight!
Okay, onto night number two with the BBC. I just got an email and they're coming out of their 379th bar of the trip. They're taking it light tonight and have only had 379 beers and 139 mixed drinks between the three of them. Hey, time moves on and you slow down a little, it happens to the best of us. Gene picked another bar tonight that I think will be a winner because Fat Al from the Half Empty Glass chose this bar as a backup joint in case we got tossed from the OTB bar last Sunday for taking pictures. And that bar is Hickey's, which looks to be a perfect Friday night spot. It's an old dive bar and from what I've read it's an older cliental, so maybe it won't be packed and crazy. There's only one way to find out...
Is to walk over. Here we are outside the well-worn walls of Hickey's. So far this place looks like a winner, nice pick, Gene!
Nice and divey inside and check it out, a whole corner of the bar is free on a Friday night!
James the bartender is quick with a bottle of Bud.
Some of the crates of empties are stacked up in the front room.
Here's a shot out the front window looking out at 33rd Street.
Obligatory bar room mirror shot!
There's a long wooden railing opposite the bar.
The paneled walls feature vintage boxing photos and sports mirrors.
You got two choices of drafts here: Budweiser and Budweiser Light. If you don't like it, go to some fancy-pants joint.
A long shot of the interior of the bar. Potato chips and booze, a perfect picture if ever there was one.
Some kids were whooping it up down at the end of the bar, let's go and say hi.
They were happy to have their photo taken and to be part of the 365 bar crawl. From left: Andrew, Toika and Chris.
Meanwhile back at the bar, James is taking care of business.
Hey, some people have taken over my spot at the bar!
And of course it's the BBC ready for night number two on the bar crawl. From left: Gene, Smoopy and Terry, flashing the 365 colors on his shirt that he bought at the 365 Bar Store. Speaking of the store, "Boris" is working on a new "Crawlapalooza" design that we'll be unveiling soon. I'll show a sneak peek of it in a day or two.
The BBC show off their Rockette-like dance moves.
Gene suggested we try the old-school thumb to nose salute as an alternative to the one-fingered flip that's been so popular on the crawl.
But in the end, James proves that half a finger is better than none. Well done, James, best one-fingered salute yet! Goodnight, everybody!
It's easy to walk by Hickey's bar and not even notice it. There's a well-worn exterior, with a modest sign saying, "Hickey's For Delicious Food and Large Drinks." Well, to be honest, the drinks are about average size and the delicious food consists of potato chips and peanuts, but this place is a classic. It's a narrow joint with a long wooden bar taking up most of the space. There's tables in the back and the brown paneled walls with boxing photos and sports mirrors give the place a 1970's rec room feel. There's hardly ever a crowd in here and the bartenders are old school and gentlemanly and sometimes known to crack the wise on patrons.
Don't expect a big drink selection here. If you order a bottle of Budweiser you're safe, same for a draft. Mixed drink? I'd stick to something neat or a gin and tonic. Don't even think about ordering a Cosmopolitan in this joint, the odds are the bartender has never heard of the magazine Cosmopolitan, much less the cocktail.
Hickey's is one of the last great dive bars in Manhattan. Stop by for a drink or four and let's keep this joint in existence!

Untitled: photo by James Wainwright, 10 June 2010
I'm having that cold November dream nightly and thinking that it would be nice to have a warm November tropical dream instead. It's been quite a while, but I think that way lies longer life and happier-ness. It's always amazing to me how over one month in the northeast things go from warm to wintry. James Wainwright is really, really talented. These and other images I've seen (especially one featuring a sihouetted balloon) are haunting.
Lovely... as if from an old back porch... biting wind and quick-passing clouds.
Thanks, guys.
About the top image, here's what the photographer says:
"All the right conditions came together without very much effort on my part. For me there is a lot of symbolism in this image. On an outer level it represents a place called Isipatana. This is a Pali word which means 'the place where holy men fell to earth' -- and is also the Pali Canon name for the place where the Buddha first gave his teachings. This is known more widely as Deer Park, which is in Sarnath, India."
The full moon proved to be the harbinger of the first big storm of the season, here. Wet and wild and a bit of a challenge for the ancient and unenlightened pilgrim.
I love the humanness of that moon, the pouty cheek.
The word suspension always takes me back to high school chemistry class. Like sea salt or soot in the air.
It is amazing how November is its own beast, completely distinct from golden harvesty autumn and full-on wintry winter. Out on the water, we're plugging leaks we thought we'd fixed and enjoying the sound of the rain on the windows.
I keep coming back to this and am fascinated by the story behind the photos. Last night's moon here and the light was a lot like the Deer Park moon. It was so bright, though, that it showed the colors of the trees and surroundings, which made it different. I always think of India "in color," but I guess that is just a result of conditioning, of always seeing the same kinds of things included in photos of India. Curtis
Well, Duncan, I suppose it's my own poutiness made the moon have a pouty cheek... and these few notebook jottings into something like a poem.
Nora,"...enjoying the sound of the rain on the windows" made me think of one of my favorite rain songs:
Ann Peebles: I Can't Stand the Rain (1974)
Curtis, know what you mean... on the other hand, I always think of India in black and white when I've been watching Satyajit Ray movies.
And before that rain lets up...
Ann Peebles: I Can't Stand the Rain (Rare unplugged)
That is a fantastic rain song.

Crystal Methodist 'lost so much'
Disgraced former Co-operative Bank boss Paul Flowers took cocaine to cope with stress and looking after his terminally ill mother, a court was told after the church minister admitted drug possession.
Flowers, dubbed the Crystal Methodist, appeared before Leeds Magistrates' Court today where he pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of class A drugs - cocaine and crystal meth - and one count of possession of the class C drug ketamine.
The charges flowed from secret video footage of him which showed him handing over £300 in cash for the drugs in the West Yorkshire city in November last year.
District Judge David Kitson was told how Flowers had used cocaine for about 18 months but had little previous experience of the other two drugs.
Mr Kitson fined the 63-year-old minister £400 and ordered him to pay £125 in costs.
Flowers said nothing as he left court and angrily fought his way through a barrage of cameras with the help of three minders.
Earlier, he arrived before the court building opened and had to endure five minutes of flash photography as he waited on the pavement, repeating his claim that waiting reporters were "vultures".
Flowers, who stepped down as the Co-op Bank's chairman last year, later became embroiled in claims of illegal drug use and inappropriate expenses payments.
He was also suspended by the Methodist Church and the Labour Party.
The Co-op confirmed last year that it was seeking to recover contractual payments totalling £31,000 made to Flowers amid reports that he was also the subject of an inquiry into ''lavish'' expense claims.
Flowers stood in front of the dock in court this morning for the 10 minute long hearing and answered clearly as the clerk asked him if he understood the charges and then confirmed his personal details.
Asked to plead, he just said "guilty" once.
Claire Stevens, prosecuting, said the footage obtained by The Mail on Sunday showed the defendant counting out £300 in £20 notes as he sat in the car. He then handed this cash to another person in the car.
The prosecutor explained to the district judge how Flowers was interviewed three times by police and he admitted to the officers it was him in the video footage.
Ms Stevens said: "He said he had been a cocaine user for the past 18 months. He cited stress and the care of his terminally ill mother as reasons for his drug use.
"As a former chairman of Lifeline, the national drugs charity, he said he was aware of the effects of cocaine and this was a drug used to keep himself going."
She said Flowers told officers that another man he thought was a friend "sold his story to The Mail on Sunday for greed".
The court heard how Flowers left his home in Bradford on November 9 and picked up a man called Stuart Davies before heading for Leeds.
Ms Stevens said: "They drove to Leeds and collected a third man. £300 was handed to him and the defendant was given five grammes of cocaine, a small amount of crystal meth and a small amount of ketamine."
She said: "He said he had very little previous experience of crystal meth or ketamine."
The prosecutor said no drugs were found in Flowers's possession by investigating police. She said he was prosecuted on the basis of the admissions he made to officers.
Richard Wright QC, defending, said his client was "of exemplary character".
He said the prosecution was only possible because of Flowers's admissions to the police.
Mr Wright said: "He's not working. He's drawing income in terms of pensions."
He said this income was currently £510 a month but added that his client was also in possession of assets following the recent death of his mother.
"He is a man who's remorseful," the barrister said. "He has no relevant previous convictions, he's a man of exemplary character."
Mr Wright said Flowers was continuing to take steps to "deal with this issue".
He said his client shows "a determination to resolve this issue permanently".
And he added: "He has lost so much by the fact of his conviction."
District Judge Kitson fined Flowers's £200 for each of the offences relating to the Class A drugs but ordered no separate penalty for the charge involving the Class C ketamine.
He ordered him to pay £125 in prosecution costs and a victim surcharge.
Ms Stevens said Mr Davies was interviewed by police but was not charged with any offence.
Another man arrested as part of the inquiry, Gavin Woroniuk, also appeared at Leeds Magistrates' Court this morning in a separate hearing.
Woroniuk, 33, of Mitford Road, Leeds, is charged with four counts of offering to supply controlled drugs and another of possessing criminal property - £1,000 in cash.
He did not indicate a plea and Mr Kitson transferred his case to Leeds Crown Court. He was bailed to appear again on May 21.
