The 201 mph Ferrari F40 is unlike all other supercars : every year that passes, its stunning exterior design and brutal turbocharged power delivery seem even more appealing. In the new-is-best world of supercar ownership, the lasting and growing influence of this 30-year-old exotic is quite unique.
The F40 legend started with a bang as the final car to be presented by Enzo himself on the year of his death. Rows and rows of the matching Rosso Corsa red F40's lined the Fiorano pit area with another key figure in Ferrari lore: a young Luca Di Montezemolo smiling in his 1980s power suit next to this line of exotica.
As much a story about the passionate men and women behind the scenes, there is almost nothing boring about the F40 in any way. Originally set for a 399-unit production run, the total swelled to more than 1,200 over the car's lifetime from 1987 to 1992.
The F40's shocking looks and speed are appreciating in value steadily, and may one day even overtake the Ferrari NART Sypder's $27 million dollar auction record from this past weekend.
Until then, this Ferrari is already one for the ages. It is as much a joy to drive as it is to admire, almost like a fine painting — new details emerge and captivate the mind. Collectors are notoriously fastidious when it comes to flogging their prized investment, but the F40 is no show queen.
The F40 can dance. The mid-mounted V-8 engine's then-state-of-the-art twin turbochargers power just the rear wheels through an 8-ball billiard gear knob and the classic polished H-gate pattern.
Weighing more than 500 pounds less than its arch rival — the Porsche 959 — the Ferrari F40 slams its driver toward any horizon at light speed (once those parallel IHI turbochargers spool up).
Updated 08/10/2015: A 1992 Ferrari F40 was auctioned this past weekend for a record €1.12 million ($1.22 million) at Coys auction at the 43rd AVD Oldtimer Grand Prix in Nurburgring, Germany. This amount represents a record for the F40, but it may not come at such a big surprise, considering it was the last model signed by Enzo Ferrari.
Click past the jump for the full review of the 1987 - 1992 Ferrari F40, arguably the absolute pinnacle of supercar design and influence.
The F40's style is purpose-driven with few of the busy fender flares and sharp creases from the Lamborghini Countach . Already quite old at that point, the Countach was still the benchmark bedroom poster of the time. The extreme wedge profile and mid-engined V-12 of the Countach made it a formidable style adversary for Ferrari and its lead F40 designer, Leonardo Fioravanti of Pinifarina.
The 288 GTO platform and styling buck spent almost a year in Pinifarina's then-modern wind tunnel, with Fioravanti and his team continually refining the shape for optimum aero performance. The result as a deep nose cone with as little front surface area as possible, NACA ducts to handle the airflow and cooling without drag-inducing standard vents, and a groundbreaking carbon-Kevlar tub and all panels.
The continuous aerodynamic refinement left almost no 288 GTO themes in place, but was still unmistakeably Ferrari with similarities to the 365 GTB/4 Daytona and 365 Berlinetta Boxer that Fioravanti also designed. The basis for the F40's proportions and mechanical package were inherited from the 288 GTO Evoluzione racecar.
Many of the 1980s styling exaggerations fell by the wayside, including the louvered side scoops from the 512 Testarossa and the economy-car performance from the lame 408 Mondial.
A pure, lean and simple aesthetics were born, and the result helped the Ferrari F40 to trump the 959 's looks from nearly every angle. Unlike the tall glasshouse of the 959 and its 911-inspired styling cues, the F40 was clearly a purebred exotic with a low roof and yes, that spoiler.
The F40's giant wing may or may not be technically beneficial at high speeds - its horizontal plane is barely angled at all, unlike a GT3 car's nearly 20-degree tilt to push the back of the car down. What the spoiler did provide was dual vertical stabilizers at the far corners of the car. This concept keeps the car pointed arrow-straight when at super-high speeds.
The concept is finally being adopted in FIA endurance racing, as seen by the giant vane on the back of the latest Audi R18 Ultra. A tall vertical spoiler like the F40's helps tracking and stability, but also limits the high-speed potential for a spin-out.
In LeMans (and NASCAR), the use of vertical stabilizers is to control a potential crash force - and making sure the car comes in nose-first to a wall instead of sideways, which is much more lethal.
The embossed F40 logos in the spoiler uprights are a delicious treat, as is the touchable weave of the carbon-Kevlar body panel material under the lightweight red paint.

The interior of the F40 is a throwback to a simpler time of racecar construction. The NASA-spec green industrial glue that holds the carbon tub together is visible in the corners of the un-carpeted carbon-fiber floor. A felt-like cloth dashboard wraps what is basically just a crash cage and rally-car flat dash.
Little crash testing experience means the F40's pillars are tiny and easy to see around, and the windshield glass is less than two feet head of the driver's head with a very un-supercar-like vertical windshield angle.
This again speaks to the Group B mission when initially modifying a 288 GTO to win rally races. As quick as the Lancia Stratos and Ford RS200 were, their limited visibility is a real disadvantage when racing through the woods at 100-plus mph. Bringing a Lamborghini Countach on a rally course would be about 30 seconds of fun, until you hit a tree you never even saw coming.
Air vents pop out from below the F40's cloth dash wrap, and the aluminum, three-spoke steering wheel certainly reminds you that crashing a car like this will be painful for both the car and the driver.
Drivetrain, Engine and Brakes
The F40 runs a 2.9-liter V-8 with a parallel twin-turbocharged design, which was a first when the F40 launched in 1987. This design sees two IHI turbos operating simultaneously, with each providing boost for each 90-degree engine bank. A Japanese company, IHI was instantly the go-to supplier for the new breed of Japanese turbocharged sports cars - including the reborn Nissan Slyline GT-R (R32) of the late 1980s. Of course, Mitsubishi and Subaru also leaned — still do — heavily on IHI for their highest-performing turbos.
The parallel turbo design is important because it partially defines the F40's driving style. This was far before any variable-vane turbochargers or sequential turbocharging came on the scene in the 1990s. Along with the F40's heavy and imprecise shift linkage, drivers had a few pre-flight checks before nailing the F40's throttle: get in gear, hang on tight, and brace yourself.
The launch is marked by slight turbo lag, which is actually helpful to get the Pirelli P-Zero tires to hook up to the asphalt before the real power arrives in a frenzied blur. The result of the 471 horsepower is a 60 mph sprint in 3.8 seconds and a record-breaking 201 mph top speed.
The small-capacity V-8 is still a departure for Ferrari's most premium models, as the subsequent F50, Enzo and now LaFerrari are all naturally-aspirated V-12's. For anyone skeptical of the turbo V-8 at the time, one quick test ride was proof enough.
The Plexiglas engine cover was vented to allow the high-strung V-8 to sing, while the lack of insulation makes the whole F40 cockpit like one big resonance chamber.
Delightful noises and vibrations tingle through the body even after the engine is off.

The F40 was priced at $400,000 when new, and the U.S. and European cars differ slightly in the maintenance required. The Euro cars have a rubber bladder racing gas tank, while the U.S. models have an aluminum tank. The U.S. spec is much nicer for maintenance, as the Euro bladder tank needs replacing every ten years. The repair requires almost full dis-assembly of the car (engine out) - so labor and parts will be in the tens of thousands for this critical service.
The two car's featured here are 1990 and 1991 examples, each sold by RM Auctionssince 2012. A total of 213 American specification F40's were imported - with the sale price on the 1990 F40 at $1.15 million.
The 1991 F40 model seems like quite the bargain at just $781,000 - and that is for an unregistered, perfect example with only 300 original miles (total).
The F40 competed with the Porsche 959 and Lamborghini Countach, as well as the Jaguar XJ220 and Bugatti EB110 toward the close of production in 1992.
As Ferrari selectively used technology in the F40 to maintain a very analog driving experience, Porsche went all in with computerized all-wheel-drive, active dampers and four-wheel-steering. A precursor to the GT-R that would eventually spank the 911 at Nurburgring, the 959 was criticized by some for its weighty controls and luxury-car dynamics. Stepping from the F40 into the 959 is unusual - the 959 is much more upright and comfortable like a normal car.
The F40's biggest advantage over the 959 was therefore its purity of driving experience and super-exotic style that could never be mistaken for a lesser model.

The F40 is already one of the most admired cars in history, and certainly the defining Ferrari for anyone born in the 1980s. The F40 solidified Ferrari's performance credentials in a disjointed period of sloppy models like the Mondial and Testarossa.
For all their cool image and Magnum P.I. associations, most of the Ferrari's from the late 1970s to late 1980s were a mess of sloppy styling, shocking mid-corner spins on demand, and lacking much of the performance the Prancing Horse should deliver.
If you look at the F40 as coming from this disorganized and panicky company — in flux during Enzo's last years — it is even more important. For the next generation of Ferrari engineers carrying on Enzo's legacy, the F40 is the touchstone of what makes a fun and world-beating supercar.
Ever since this defining achievement, Ferrari performance cars have improved and evolved the concept of being fun to drive by mortals as well as racing drivers. The F40 will always be fastest with a fearless Italian at the wheel, and is more than capable of scaring you half to death.
It is this razor-edged balance of fun and lethality that makes the F40 such a masterpiece - and such a lovable and entertaining supercar ideal for all future Ferrari's to emulate. The next chapter starts next year with the LaFerrari range-topper.

TMZ broke the story ... Maria has been having second thoughts about pulling the plug on the marriage -- despite Arnie knocking up the family maid -- because of her deeply held religious views.
Arnold hadn't been photographed in his wedding band in months, but over the past few days -- Arnold dusted off the ol' ring and reminded the world he's STILL a married man.
We're told Arnold was vacationing with his sons -- but it's unclear if Maria was there too.

Scott Weiland Wants 'Easy Money' Velvet Revolver Reunion
Former Velvet Revolver vocalist Scott Weiland is looking to reunite with his acclaimed band but not for the reasons you might expect or necessarily want to hear.
"Velvet Revolver, there is no problem," Weiland told Canadian newspaper La Presse. "I even called the guys to propose the idea of doing some shows together in a few months. We are on good terms, but I do not want to be a member of Velvet Revolver full-time. If possible, I would like to only play at festivals. You know, to make easy money."
However, Weiland acknowledged that getting the members of Velvet Revolver back together might not be as easy as it may seem. The reason? None of his former band mates need the funds as badly as he does.
"Dave [Kushner, guitarist] made music for TV," he continued. "He made the theme of the series 'Sons of Anarchy'. Duff [McKagan, bass] has a lot of money in the stock market. As for Slash, he put aside the money he did in the days of Guns N' Roses. Finally, Matt [Sorum, drummer] has embarked on a package of stuff."
A few weeks ago, Duff McKagan mused (but then quickly shot down) the idea of taking over vocal duties for Velvet Revolver, which has been inactive since Weiland's dismissal in 2008. Scott Weiland is currently on tour with his new band the Wildabouts.

The elusive Luongo-Bozak trade
Canucks pitch goalie as remedy for Leafs' issues, but does GM Nonis like the price?
On the most basic level, the melodrama over Roberto Luongo and the trade that dare not speak its name comes down to a simple matter. The Vancouver Canucks have to fill their gaping hole at centre ice, and the most efficient way to do that is to trade their $5.3-million backup goalie to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
That means Tyler Bozak, who's a pretty hot commodity for someone who's never produced more than 47 points in an NHL season, has to be part of the deal. If he isn't, there's no deal with Toronto.
That, at least, is the simple explanation, but as you might be aware, this situation is about as simple as family day at a bigamists' colony. There are so many layers to this drama, so much intrigue and behind-the-scenes manoeuvring, that it's become appointment viewing around the NHL. Maybe it will reach a conclusion at Wednesday's trade deadline, and maybe it won't.
But either way, there's a big part of you that wants it to go on forever, because you can't pay for this kind of entertainment.
By now, the 3,456 pundits and opinion-makers who are following this story agree on the basic elements of the trade discussions.
The Maple Leafs and their general manager Dave Nonis would like to acquire Luongo, and when you look at their goaltending, that isn't exactly a blinding revelation.
Before Saturday night's game, the Leafs had worked their way to sixth in the Eastern Conference, seven points ahead of ninth, with what could charitably be described as average 'keeping.
Leafs' No. 1 James Reimer was 26th in the league in goals-against average and 22nd in save percentage. His partner, Ben Scrivens, sat 25th and 18th in the same categories.
This, of course, was before Reimer shut out Ottawa on Saturday night. You could set your watch by it.
But one game doesn't change the situation. Luongo would solidify the Leafs' keeping for the next three-to-five seasons and improve their chances in this season's playoffs.
That, at least, is what the Canucks are trying to sell to Nonis. He just doesn't seem to be buying it.
The Leafs' GM is unconvinced there's a market for Luongo that stretches beyond the GTA. As such, he hasn't felt compelled to offer Bozak, who becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, or someone comparable to make the deal.
That, in Nonis's mind, leaves he and Canucks GM Mike Gillis as the only two players at the table.
Now, if you're familiar with the history of the two men, that alone is pretty juicy. Gillis, of course, succeeded Nonis as the Canucks' GM, and Nonis has issues with the way that occurred.
That doesn't mean he'd hold up this deal to stick it to Gillis. But let's just say the relationship between the two GMs is part of this story.
Gillis, for his part, has to come out of the deadline with some help for his team. The Canucks' six-game winning streak - which ended last night with a 4-0 loss in Edmonton - did ease the pressure to some degree, but Gillis has to offer something in the way of help to his beleaguered troops.
The organization can't expect Cory Schneider to play like Superman every night and the team to keep grinding out 2-1 wins when they're missing so many pieces.
The plain fact is, after the Sedins and Alex Burrows, the Canucks' forward lines resemble an expansion team's more than a playoff team's, and Gillis owes it to his core players to bring in reinforcements.
So, is Bozak the answer? Well, he never has been. But you put him on a Canucks team with Ryan Kesler and, all of a sudden, things change. You've got a speed line with something like Kesler, Jannik Hansen and Mason Raymond. You've got a strong two-way line with something like Bozak, Zack Kassian and Chris Higgins. You've still got the twins and Alex Burrows.
You've also got the makings of a team that could do some damage in the playoffs.
That's why Gillis has to come out of this deadline with something. Nonis, for his part, has to ask himself what Luongo could provide the Leafs for the next four seasons versus what Bozak could provide the Leafs for the next 12 games and the playoffs.
That might seem like an easy question to answer. But there's nothing easy about any of this.

Sleep-Stage Dynamics in Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with or without Fibromyalgia
– Source: Sleep, Nov 2011
By A Kishi, BH Natelson, et al.
Study Objectives: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) are medically unexplained conditions that often have overlapping symptoms, including sleep-related complaints.
However, differences between the 2 conditions have been reported, and we hypothesized that dynamic aspects of sleep would be different in the 2 groups of patients.
Participants: Subjects were:
• 26 healthy control subjects,
• 14 patients with CFS but without FM (CFS alone),
• And 12 patients with CFS and FM (CFS+FM) – all women.
Measurements and Results: We studied transition probabilities and rates between sleep stages (waking, rapid eye movement [REM] sleep, stage 1 [S1], stage 2 [S2], and slow-wave sleep [SWS]) and duration distributions of each sleep stage.
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
We found that:
• The probability of transition from REM sleep to waking was significantly greater in subjects with CFS alone than in control subjects, which may be the specific sleep problem for people with CFS alone.
• Probabilities of (a) transitions from waking, REM sleep, and S1 to S2, and (b) those from SWS to waking and S1 were significantly greater in subjects with CFS+FM than in control subjects;
• In addition, rates of these transitions were also significantly increased in subjects with CFS+FM.
• Result (a) might indicate increased sleep pressure in subjects with CFS+FM, whereas result (b) may be the specific sleep problem of subjects with CFS+FM.
• We also found that shorter durations of S2 sleep are specific to patients with CFS+FM, not to CFS alone.
Conclusion: These results suggest that CFS and FM may be different illnesses associated with different problems of sleep regulation.

MEMS Solutions Overview
Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are fabricated with techniques similar to integrated circuits (ICs) and therefore leverage existing semiconductor industry infrastructure and economies of scale. These tiny sensors and actuators have enabled new functionality in smart phones, tablets and cars, and are critical to the Internet of Things (IoT). MEMS, however, present specialized engineering challenges, including non-standard fabrication processes, multi-physics interactions, integration with ICs, and custom packaging requirements. Off-the -shelf EDA tools and general purpose mechanical CAD/CAE tools do not adequately address these challenges, so MEMS developers have traditionally relied heavily on the time-consuming and costly build-and-test approach. Without a MEMS-specific design platform, it often takes years to bring a MEMS product to market.
A Unique, Predictive Platform for MEMS Development
Coventor offers a unique and powerful platform for MEMS design, simulation, verification and process modeling. Our platform addresses MEMS-specific engineering challenges such as multi-physics interactions, process variations, MEMS+IC integration, and MEMS+package interaction. Using our platform, engineers are able to model and simulate device behavior and interactions before committing to actual fabrication. In a few hours or days, they can model or simulate effects that would have taken months of building and testing in the fab. Leading MEMS R&D organizations around the world have been experiencing the benefits of our MEMS design and simulation platform for well over a decade. Our tools are used to develop a wide range of MEMS devices, from motion sensors to microphones to optical displays. In addition to the platform itself, our outstanding support organization brings years of expertise in modeling and simulating MEMS to each customer engagement.
Serving the Fast-Growing MEMS Industry
The uses of micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) span a wide range of applications and markets. Starting from early applications for pressure sensing, commercially successful MEMS now include motion sensors, microphones, digital projection systems, scanning mirrors, quartz-clock replacements, RF components, energy harvesting and many more types of devices. MEMS have become ubiquitous in the consumer electronics, automotive, sports equipment, health care, industrial and aerospace market segments. Whatever the application or market, MEMS are winning because of smaller size, reduced power consumption, higher sensitivity, higher accuracy or lower cost.

We have investigated the effect of three potential scar-reducing agents applied at a sciatic nerve repair site in C57-black-6 mice. Under anaesthesia the nerve was transected, repaired using four epineurial sutures, and 100 mu l of either triamcinolone acetonide (1 mg/100 mu l), an interleukin-10 peptide fragment: (125 ng/100 mu l or 500 ng/100 mu l) or mannose-6phosphate (M6P, 200 mM or 600 mM) was injected into and around the nerve. After 6 weeks the extent of regeneration was assessed electrophysiologically by determining the ratio of the compound action potential (CAP) modulus evoked by electrical stimulation of the nerve 2 mm distal or proximal to the repair site. The conduction velocity of the fastest components in the CAP was also calculated. The percentage area of collagen staining (PAS) at the repair site was analysed using Picrosirius Red and image analysis. Comparisons were made with a placebo group (100 mu l of phosphate buffered saline) and sham-operated controls. The median CAP modulus ratio in the 600 mM M6P group was 0.44, which was significantly higher than in the placebo group (0.24, P=0.012: Kruskal-Wallis test). Conduction velocities were also faster in the 600 mM M6P group (median 30 m s(-1)) than in the placebo group (median 27.8 m s(-1); P=0.0197: Kruskal-Wallis test). None of the other treated groups were significantly different from the placebo, and all had significantly lower CAP ratios than the sham controls (P<0.05). All repair groups had a significantly higher PAS for collagen than sham controls. We conclude that the administration of 600 mM mannose-6-phosphate to a nerve repair site enhances; axonal regeneration. (C) 2011 IBRO. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AP made unsupported claim about expected benefits under Bush Social Security proposal
In a January 5 Associated Press article [1], AP writer Leigh Strope made the unsupported claim that, under the Bush administration proposal to reduce promised Social Security benefits and supplement the system with private investment accounts, the combined retirement income of the two "would be expected" to equal or exceed benefits promised to retirees under the current system.
Strope wrote:
For example, a person retiring in 2012 with an annual income of $35,277 is promised $1,194 in monthly benefits, in 2001 dollars. If the formula is changed, the monthly benefit would be reduced by 0.9 percent to about $1,183 per month.
The younger the worker, the more dramatic the cuts. For a person retiring in 2075, the monthly promised benefit of $2,032 would be cut by 45.9 percent to $1,099 a month.
In each case, income from the worker's private account, funded with a portion of their Social Security tax, would be expected to at least make up the difference.
The Bush administration has not yet released a fully detailed proposal or offered concrete estimates of the proposal's expected effect on future retirement income. But The Washington Post paraphrased chief Social Security actuary Stephen Goss, who based his comments on a plan that "Republicans close to the White House" outlined [2] for the Post, as saying that if such a plan is enacted, total expected retirement income -- including guaranteed Social Security benefits and income from the new private accounts -- "would not match the benefits currently being promised." The Post reported the example of a middle-income worker retiring in 2052 whose expected combined income would be 6 percent less than that promised under the current system.
Under any private account proposal, a portion of this income would depend on the performance of individual workers' investments. The numbers cited reflect expectations about average investment returns and would not apply equally to all workers. The average retiree would receive less retirement income than promised under current law, while others would potentially receive even less.
As Media Matters for America has previously noted [3], some economists believe that the assumptions about future equity returns -- on which the provided numbers are based -- are overly optimistic.

N'Guessan keeps Addicks ahead
Dany N'Guessan's first-half winner strengthened Charlton's grip on the League One title with a 1-0 home victory over Walsall.
Last Updated: 09/04/12 6:11pm
Dany N'Guessan's first-half winner strengthened Charlton's grip on the League One title with a 1-0 home victory over Walsall.
N'Guessan has scored in all three of his appearances at The Valley since completing a loan switch from Millwall and further endeared himself to the home fans with the only goal 10 minutes before the break.
The hosts started brightly and might have gone in front inside the opening minute when N'Guessan's shot produced a good save from visiting goalkeeper David Grof.
Johnnie Jackson headed just wide, while Ben Hamer did well to tip over Alex Nicholls' effort at the other end, but Charlton broke the deadlock in the 35th minute as N'Guessan beat Grof to the ball to head home from Jackson's free-kick.
Walsall were almost back on terms early in the second half after Addicks goalkeeper Ben Hamer made a complete hash of Emmanuel Ledesma's delivery, only for Jon Macken to place the loose ball off target.
Bradley Wright-Phillips' 54th-minute effort lacked power and sailed harmlessly behind after Jackson's clever pass had put the Charlton top scorer through, while N'Guessan was only denied a second by Grof's smart in the 82nd minute.

Best Martin Freeman Roles Before The Hobbit
How Martin Freeman Got His Geek Cred
How Martin Freeman Got His Geek Cred
Oh, Martin Freeman, I wish I knew how to quit you! Just kidding — the not-so-self-deprecating Brit is one of our favorite geeks, and not just because he's playing the title role of Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The actor is something of an Internet and geek sensation, due in no small part to his hilariously dry portrayal of Dr. Watson in BBC's Sherlock, which we love (obviously).
Find out why Martin Freeman earns the honor of this year's geek prince, and go see his anything-but-pint-sized hobbit performance, now that it's in theaters.

Following the launch of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010, Microsoft has now announced the upcoming release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2. The next iteration of this ERP and CRM software is aimed at providing midsize customers with contextual business intelligence (BI) capabilities and additional features that make actionable information more accessible.
Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2 will expand into role-specific information through an improved UI and personalized dashboards. The company is aiming to create information channels where users can benefit from improved approval workflow and electronic signature capabilities, both of which will be designed to help people save time while managing compliance and helping to reduce fraud.
The new product will also feature extended connections through what Microsoft calls "Fact Boxes and Action Shortcuts," which are now connected with Microsoft Lync 2010 instant messaging windows — developments intended to bring information about the people who are chatting and their companies directly to the user.
"We have seen unprecedented momentum for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010, having recently added more new customers in one quarter than any previous quarter in the history of the solution," said Crispin Read, general manager, Microsoft Dynamics ERP product management group.
"Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 is delivering opportunity for our business by providing the ability to drill down into details from the home page using configurable dashboard metrics," said George Mackiewicz, president, CAL Business Solutions Inc.

EoC, you are the bane of my existence.
EoC doesn't make creepy.EoC makes creepy worse.
the afflicted persons get hold of and consume carrots even in socially quite unacceptable situations.
It's hirley!
Hey N0p! How's it going?
My building is infested. A tent isn't a bad idea, but a bit beyond my means for now. I sleep in my clothes and still get a bunch on my hands and around the tops of my socks. No amount of spraying helps for long as the other tenants in my building include a couple hoarders and at least 1 dumpster diver.... my circumstances since March have been bad. Got to talk to the housing authority to see about a new place. But FUCK bed bugs. That species needs to go.
Why not throw in some Call of Cthulhu? Really get the CoC train rolling.

Keselowski Wins Nationwide Race At Kentucky
SPARTA, Ky. -- Brad Keselowski took his final lead on the 156th lap and went on to a rain-shortened victory Friday night in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway.
Showers halted the race at lap 170 in the scheduled 200-lap, 300-mile event, but drivers were expecting it to resume before another pocket of rain forced officials to call it off. Keselowski settled for doing victory spinouts, being careful to avoid sliding into the wall on a night mostly spent on firm footing.
After Keselowski finished second Thursday night in the Truck Series race, the Sprint Cup champion led four times for 59 laps en route to his second victory of the year and second at the track in three years. Elliott Sadler was second, followed by Truck Series points leader Matt Crafton, Brian Vickers and Kyle Busch.
Series points leader Regan Smith saw his 28-point advantage over Justin Allgaier coming in whacked to an eight-point edge over Sam Hornish Jr. after an engine problem that forced him behind the wall and left him 30th, 17 laps down.
The night mostly belonged to Busch and eventually Keselowski, who has a chance to add another trophy if he can win Saturday night's 400-mile Cup race. If his first two races and Friday night in particular are any indication, he's certainly the driver to beat.
Starting 19th, Keselowski quickly moved the No. 22 Ford into contention to make it a battle between him and Busch on a tripleheader weekend for both. Running in the top five on lap 150, Keselowski eventually got by Sadler for the lead before the sky opened up.
"You know, I didn't want it to end this way but we had a great car and we were able to drive to the front," said Keselowski, who set a track record with his fifth top-five Nationwide finish. "We didn't qualify like we wanted to but (crew chief) Jeremy Bullins and this team did a great job.
"It was just a great car tonight. This is the type of car you get once a year if you are lucky. Driving this car I feel like Jimmie Johnson, this is a rocket."
Busch led three times for a race-high 74 laps, mostly before the halfway point. The race featured 12 lead changes among seven drivers.
One of the team was defending race winner Austin Dillon, whose quest was keeping the family name in victory lane for the third straight time at Kentucky. The grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress dominated here a year ago, leading 192 laps while averaging a race-record 151.643 in a Chevy sporting RCR's iconic No. 3 made famous by seven-time Cup champion Dale Earnhardt.
Dillon led 65 last September to complete a season sweep here. If that wasn't enough motivation for him to stay hot -- not to mention, cutting into his 45-point deficit to first-place Smith -- there was the opportunity to one-up his brother, Ty, who won Thursday night's Truck race.
Dillon's bid started well as he won the pole with a speed of 175.758 mph and he led the first 18 laps before yielding to Busch and eventually finishing sixth. As for the two Cup heavyweights, they seemed intent on a strong follow-up to their 2-3 finish in the Truck race.
Sadler and Crafton had their turns up front as well, but Keselowski carefully threaded his way back into the lead just before showers arrived, turning into a downpour soon after the race was called.
"As a racer, you always want to see a restart to get the opportunity to win the race," Sadler said. "But Brad and those guys definitely had a strong car. He got me loose when he was behind me and made a good pass."

Redpepper's journey
I have been on here for about 15 months and written many many posts and threads and have never written a blog about what my journey has been. I am finding lately that I am in need of a place to vent, get things out and enjoy the fruits that occur when one journals...
I will take the time to post links to things that are most important to me that I have written, but for now this is a start.
Playing the Game of Life with Monopoly rules.
Monogamy might just be in my genes
Poly Events All Over
where I began in a nut shell.
I always had a lot of lovers and friends with benefits growing up and I just thought that was dating. I didn't tell each of them about each other because I didn't see a need to. At some point I realized that my not telling everyone about each other was hurting them, and I was surprised. I kept at it, but would just make sure everyone knew I was a free spirit... well, a slut really.
I decided to settle into several long term relationships with men and even agreed to marry one of them. I didn't in the end, he dumped me. I became a serial monogamist. That didn't work out as I feel in love with a woman and realized that perhaps I was a lesbian.
I left men for good at age 21 and decided that my time and energy was better spent in the women's community. For about 10 years I loved and dated women; two women in particular, one of which I committed to in a marriage arrangement and I now call her my ex-wife.
Me and the ex-wife decided to be non-monogamous as I was involved with queer women in the BDSM scene and we thought perhaps it would make our relationship better. Turns out it meant that I would invite a man into our life and bed. This arrangement was exciting but when it came down to it she decided that she was monogamous and that she wanted to travel and continue school and I wanted to settle into parenthood and buying a house. she is still a big part of my life and that of my child's.
Me and the man married and he is now my husband, Poly Nerdist. We have one boy child, a house, jobs and have been married in a poly relationship for 9 years. He identifies as bisexual and I identify as pansexual. Together we have journeyed together through many poly/swinging/open situations and dynamics and have ended up so far with identifying as poly exclusively after a long journey... this may change, but for now this is where we are at.
My husband has two lovers that are very distant in his life at the moment... one man and one woman (rolypoly). He seeks someone more committed to him and available, but it just hasn't happened yet.
I have a boyfriend primary of 18 months, who is MonoVCPHG on this forum. He identifies as monogamous, straight and vanilla in all things BDSM (although the latter is not so true anymore ). I also have a girlfriend secondary, who is Derbyliscious on this site. She is married and has two kids... we have been together for about three of four months now and are slowly working on how our lives might fit together. I have a non-sexual boyfriend (NSB) that I see once a month and a tersiary that I see as often as I can these days as he is going through a divorce and has a mono girlfriend to negotiate with.
Lastly I have a D/s life that I am getting more and more connected to and identify more and more with. I consider myself a Mistress and take that role in Mono's life as well as with an on-line man I have acquired and a woman in my poly community who I am just beginning to negotiate with. This identity is more and more attractive to me but it interrupts my daily life at this point and I find myself kept at bay from living it 24/7.
So this is me so far..... more to come. thanks for reading... (actually I am thankful for writing really... feels good! )
So, this is where I am at today...
I feel very raw today. I have had a rough week that feels like Nerdist and I have gone backwards. He is struggling with the possible and seeming end of one of his relationships and is angry, sad, depressed and unable to cope lately.
Everything seems to be on hold again towards something that works better for me. I am trying to keep calm, patient and in check where my emotions and needs are, but I have blown. I threw a box of band-aids and stormed out this weekend saying that I couldn't stand it any more,,,, or something.
Mono has a hard time watching us fight... he takes it on and gets concerned that our primary relationship is not doing well and therefore his place within our lives is not safe. I feel for him, but get quite concerned and upset when he then gets angry and frustrated at me about it. I need support and sometimes I just get more arguments. Luckily I remember from past experiences that this is what is going on for him and am patient and wait for him to tell me that he is just concerned for me and Nerdist. Apologies follow and then we are able to talk about what is going on.
I honestly thought I was done this week.
I really thought there was nothing left for me to give and hold onto with Nerdist. He has not been available to me for awhile now and when that happens I am unable to hold my connection and then don't see the point in staying.
Nerdist thought also that we are disconnected and blamed it all on me... this was entirely unfair as I make myself available... but it isn't enough for him. He has been considering the fact that he prefers monogamy because then his partner would be around more... the fact is I have never been the stay at home type he is and reminded him that I have always been busy and actively pursuing my life the whole time I have been with him... what's changed now?
I see our lives as trampolines. We each have springs that are held by certain people. Each person holds a spring to several springs to tens of springs and so on. When we bounce to much on one side of the trampoline the springs on the other side can come out. If the person who holds those springs is unable to hang on that is. If they hold many springs then there are others that hold them onto the trampoline. Once those springs are gone, then others around them move in to take their place, or they are replaced by another person.
So using this idea of a trampoline, I have felt for some time that Nerdist has been bouncing on the other side of his trampoline and I have been left straining to hang on to my end. It makes me resentful and I eventually have let go of some springs. In turn, I have been bouncing on the other end of my trampoline from Nerdist as a result and he has let go of some of mine due to similar factors. We were bouncing off in different directions essentially.
Now this weekend we have gotten to the bottom of some of what is holding us back. I had a hard time with his NRE over roly and he is unable to accept that the next step in my relationship with Mono is that he move into our basement suite and we open the house up for all of us to use... I would have my own room down there.
The longer I wait for this move to happen or not, depending on Nerdists feelings, the more trapped and angry I feel. I am asking a lot, I know that, he has given so much already. I have given also in terms of patience. I have waited while the whole idea has been on hold during his NRE... this was the last wait. Now our current tenants are completely out of hand with cops showing up every night and loudness... I am losing my patience and my mind at this point, yet I wait.
I know I ask a lot, I know he has also given in terms of time to get to know Mono and be his friend. He doesn't see how he will benefit from this kind of move at all. I have explained that he will benefit because I will be happier. I have never liked living two lives; one with Mono and one with my family. I spend two nights a week at my Other Home (OH) and numerous afternoons after work every week. I don't like being away from my boy (especially with the uproar from down stairs right now) and I don't like being at home knowing Mono is at the OH alone. I don't like any of it! I like having them all together. This is when I feel complete. This is what makes everyone happy, but Nerdist; who apparently doesn't feel anything when we are all together. Even my boy is on the Mono living with us band wagon now. After all, we have changed our will for him to be the boys caregiver if we die... he gets the house to raise him in.
Sigh.... this is where I am at tonight.
Sounds like you're shoveling a lot of shit right now. I know it takes a lot of fertilizer to grow a beautiful garden, but DAM!
I realize these posts are mostly a journal for you, and I hope I'm not offending by chiming in, I just wanted you to know you are being heard. And cared about. Thanks for sharing who you are and where you're at.
Thank you for sharing RP. Just going to chime in with fidelia and send support ...
Oh! One more thing: the cops show up every night because of the downstairs tenants? AWW HELL NO!
If you have a lease with them, they're breaking it by making it impossible for you to enjoy peaceful possession of your home. Get 'em out! And regaining the peace on the property might go a long way toward helping your family gain some peace of mind. Really.
I know those feelings RP.
They hurt.
I feel that pain.
"Love As Thou Wilt"
Thanks for sharing, RP, I hope it helps you.

U.S. Diplomats Reviewing Terrorism Allegations Against Miami Cuban Exiles Detained
HAVANA (AP) – U.S. diplomats confirmed on Saturday that Cuban officials have given them some information about four Florida residents who were arrested on suspicion of preparing attacks against military installations on the island.
The U.S. Interests Section issued a statement confirming the May 8 meeting with representatives of the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It said, "The Cubans provided some information about the allegations which we are now reviewing."
Cuba's Interior Ministry has identified the men as Jose Ortega Amador, Obdulio Rodriguez Gonzalez, Raibel Pacheco Santos and Felix Monzon Alvarez. It said they were detained in late April for planning "terrorist actions" masterminded from Florida.
The Interior Ministry said the men were detained on April 26 for plotting to attack military installations, but released few specific details.
None of the four are well-known within the exile community in South Florida, but Cuba claimed they were acting on orders from others with a history of militancy, singling out Santiago Alvarez Fernandez Magrina, Osvaldo Mitat and Manuel Alzugaray in Miami.
Santiago Alvarez and Mitat pleaded guilty in 2006 in the United States to conspiracy after an informant tipped the FBI that a large cache of weapons, including machine guns and a grenade launcher, was being moved from apartments Alvarez owned.
Alvarez, however, denied involvement in any plot and said he did not know the detained men.

He walked past me and cut into
the breakfast line in front of me.
On the way to class, I coyly drop-ped
my handkerchief. He auto-graphed
it with a black footprint.
At lunch he asked me to get him
a glass of water, noisily gobbled
his food, and left his tray for me
to carry. That night in the library
he tripped over my feet and
scowled at me as if it had been
his fault.
Nov. 8: One week before Nik Dag
He nodded casually as he hand-ed
me a tray and took his place
behind me in the breakfast line.
He opened the door of the college
building as we went to class. In
class, some papers fell out of my
notebook. Smiling, he gathered
them up. At lunch he got me a
glass of water, made a few re-marks
about his "slick" car, and
told me to stack my dishes on his
tray. On our way out of the lib-rary
that night, he gave me a
stick of gum.
Nov. 15: One day before Nik Dag
He waited for me at the foot of
the stairs, said good morning, and
offered to help me with my Eng-lish
during breakfast. He carried
my books to the college building.
At lunch he pulled my chair out,
went back to get water, asked
questions about my home town,
and stacked our dishes. In the lib-rary
that evening he sat at my
table, and as we left he asked me
for the third time that day to go
to the coffee shop.

With Cadillac, Chev, or Merc V-eight,

Girls just won't refuse a date.
Briefly, lad, you'll percolate.
If these words apply to you,
May we drop a hint or two ?
Life will take a darker hue
When books, not dates, you must

Surely you can see the light:
You can't do, and do it right,

THE CLARION Friday, November 12, 1954
Let's Put Bethel on the Map
Off the beaten path, out in the sticks, resting in one Of . St.. Paul's
northerly fields, lies a little Bible school, Bethel. At least, that's all
that a great number of people think of us! Bethel, to a lot of people
living in the city of St. Paul, is nothing more than an academy, a Bible
school, or a junior college. Why, Bethel's not even on their map.
Of course, all of the previously mentioned types of schools have
their place in the field of education; but Bethel's more than those.
Bethel is a regular liberal arts college with a regular denominational
To officials in this city, and other cities too, Bethel is not Bethel
College and Seminary, it's 1480 No. Snelling Ave. Bethel's official
mailing address is 1480 No. Snelling Ave. Yet, it's no secret that mail
is still delivered even when only addressed to Bethel College and
Seminary, St. Paul, Minn.
Newspapers of other colleges in the Twin Cities don't even refer
to us correctly. We're not on their map either, except as 1480 No.
Snelling Ave. That's our return address. That's the way we get it.
Bethel is not so small that it needs to be recognized with a street
address. If we continue with a number address rather than a name
address, we will continue to defeat ourselves with respect to any public
relations program. When we say "Bethel" we at least want the people
in St. Paul to know who we mean and where it is.
Let's put Bethel on the map! For some reason 1480 No. Snelling
Ave. just doesn't seem as significant as Bethel College' and Seminary.
You'll still get your mail!
Keep Your Sights High
"Keep your sights high," is a command often heard on the rifle
range. And it's a command that Christians, too, should observe.
In His Steps, by Charles Sheldon, portrays the parishioners of a
fictitious church asking themselves the questipn, "What would Jesus
do in a situation like this ?" What if we applied that test to ourselves ?
Each individual would have the same personality as usual, the same
talents, the same intelligence, and the same abilities, but not the
frivolity displayed in modern living.
Life would be filled with an optimism such as inspires a polio
victim in Illinois who has been paralyzed and bed-ridden for three
years. Life is not dark to her because she feels that every conversation
is a learning experience and an opportunity to impart cheer and en-couragement
to others.
Ideals would be kept high when this simple but practical thought
indwelt our minds. Our lives would be ennobled and others would be
--influenced because people would be seeing true Christianity illustrated.
Man With A Vision by Paul Schlueter
"I'm not handicapped, just slightly inconvenienced," declares Joe
Schintz. And it must be true, because this remarkable young fellow, al-though
totally blind, is a full-time Bethel student.
Joe had no eye trouble in his childhood except nearsightedness.
But in February, 1951, the retina of his left eye became detached,
causing blindness. Then in December of the same year, the right retina
became detached. But blindness didn't keep him from being graduated
from high school last June and entering Bethel College this September.
Now eighteen years old, he has ambitions of becoming a physics teacher,
and he intends to study in that subject here.
Joe attends the Johnson Parkway Baptist church, and has been a
Christian two and a half years. He credits his salvation to hearing the
Gospel over the radio. Interested, he started to attend the Johnson
Parkway church and later accepted Christ as his own Savior there.
He finds homework no particular problem, even while carrying a
schedule of 14 1/2 credits. He types accurately at the rate of 54 w.p.m.,
and has special tools for writing Braille, including a Braille wrist-watch.
To help him in studying, other Bethelites read his textbooks to
Joe has learned to live without self-pity. He has a ready smile
for anyone who speaks to him. When you sit next to him in class
he may lean over and whisper, "What's that on the blackboard ?—my
vision's a little cloudy today." Joe says of himself, "I trust the Lord to
provide inner strength." .

From the Southwest's warm sun to the Northwest's crisp snow,
tweed's the thing this winter, girls! This and other winter fabrics in
portrait-collared princess coats and princess style dresses create that
long torso look of grandma's day. Grandma also contributes rope
beads that blend so beautifully with our French heels.
Maybe you would prefer a cardigan-cut suit in deep charcoal grey
flannel, lit with a pale rose scarf. Or how about a corduroy or wool
shirt dress with your favorite cuff links ?
For those after-five ensembles, who could want more than crisp
taffeta, faille, or lush velvet ? The covered-up look is in for the season.
We can be chic, fashion-wise, on that score. .
Remember, it's that carefully chosen scarf, the just right earrings,
the moderate use of jewelry, and the well cared for clothing that dis-tinguish
the well dressed woman. And let's be reminded that it's not
primarily the clothes that make the difference, but how you wear them.
Gramps' Grabbag
I sensed that there was something afoot when I first stepped into
the CLARION office one day last week. I was hardly through the door
when something grabbed me by my lounging pajamas (overalls) and
hauled me over to a desk where I saw the bristly faces of our honorable
feature editors, Rip Moore and Phil Caldeen. They propped me up in
a swivel chair, and gave out with the glorious news that I, meek lowly
Gramps, was to prepare a column bearing the somewhat doubtful
cognomen of "Gramps' Grabbag." Well, here goes.
Happy birthday, Carol.
It is reliably reported that Gordon Sension and Irving Landstrom
have been dabbling in the ancient and mysterious art of HYPNOTISM.
I have a couple of teachers that I would like them to hypnotize into
giving me an A for this quarter . . . Oh well, I can dream, can't I .. .
Happy birthday, Carol.
And what about these dues for the fellows in the sem dorm—is it
true that they will be used to purchase game equipment for the guys
over in the Edgren residence ? This is "TAXATION WITHOUT REP-RESENTATION."
We sem dormers feel that a pingpong table, at least,
should be set up in our humble quarters. If there is no other space for
it, it could be set up in Cliff Anderson's room. Never seems to be much
movement or studying in there anyway.
Happy birthday, Carol.
Furthermore, I want to "moan" for a fellow-roomer about the
heat over here. The quality of heat is fine; it's the quantity we feel
the lack of. In fact, a mouse just ran by my desk wearing earmuffs.
Happy birthday, Carol. By the time that this is printed, everyone
in the school will have wished Carol Engholm a happy birthday. There
was quite a campaign going on last week to assure her that she was
not forgotten.
SHORT CUT — "Doc" Virginia Grabill was giving a spelling test
the other day in Advanced Comopsition. "February," she intoned.
Alden Moberg looked up from his paper. "May we abbreviate?"
he asked.

Midquarters are over finally, and the only thing left to do is sit
back and wait for the D and F slips to begin overflowing our P.O.
Teachers certainly must love this week. For weeks ahead of exams
they've been smiling complacently at us (saying how easy their tests
are going to be,) assuring us that it will be nothing more than a
"quiz" to let us know how we've been doing in their course. Then the
day arrives, and whammo! If that's a quiz, I'm a kid! Surely they
borrow each others' books, and use information straight from the
Encyclopedia Brittanica in making out the test questions. Of course,
it's easy for them—they can use their books!
I don't know how you feel about it, but I have a terrible time
keeping awake during exams. Of course, it could be the long nights of
study that every industrious college student puts in before exams!
But in the girls' dorm, there's always the problem of dodging the moni-tor,
as she makes her stealthy midnight trips through the "dark"
halls; and it seems to me that the fellows would have a little trouble
avoiding those wastebaskets full of H2O that seem to fly through the
air with the greatest of ease.
So from now until finals, my books are going to be a little dustier
than they have been. I'm through cramming (for a while); and I'm
back with my own private root beer mug in the Coffee Shop!
yak. 7,ca

Is it not a peculiar fact, that when one thinks back into the past
it is almost positive that he will dwell the greatest length of time on
those aspects of life which were most pleasing to him ? Some of my
fondest memories occur when recollecting the simple pleasures afforded
me while contemplating those hours in India when day was ended and
night was being ushered in—dusk, when lanterns were lit and on the
dusty roads one could hear the scraning of sandal upon gravel—men
returning from their back-breaking toils in the fields.
As I sit on the porch of our bungalow I become aware of a slight
evening breeze, cool after the scorching wind of the day, that is rustling
through the broad leaves of a palm tree near me. Already the sun
has set and the rich, magnificent colors which had once paraded the
sky are rapidly fading—for twilight in India does not linger long. In
the heavens stars can already be seen—jewels for the sparkling crown
which arcs above the enchanting spectacle taking place before me.
The shouting, the cursing, and the laughter which had reached me
continually throughout the day fade into low whispers and mutterings.
Crows rasp in high pitched strains as they retire for the night in the
grove of cork trees which stands before me, and finally they too re-lapse
into an almost unnatural silence. A cricket begins his cheerful
song from somewhere to my left and soon several others join in the
chorus with high pitched chants, as though conducted by the swaying
vines which hang from a wooden trellis in the garden.
By now I am able only to discern the outlines of objects which are
near me. In the distance two stray dogs begin barking furiously, and
close by, maybe in the small but just on the other side of the compound
wall, the wails of a hungry child penetrate the stillness.
The blackness of an Indian night has pervaded all now and its
dark curtain has slowly settled, hushing an Indian village into stony
quietness. A mosquito buzzes around my ear and suddenly alights on
my neck. My senses are once more alert—it is time to retreat into
the safety of the bungalow.

4de-ea to de Edetel •••
Dear Editor:
Thanks for the editorial in the
last issue of the CLARION on
"Ma and Pa Bethel." It's good
that in a day of changing times,
techniques, and traditions that
some are aware of the need for
The issue at hand is this: "Will
the new societies (rather than
fraternities"—I can't tell the dif-ference)
better the spirit and
over-all welfare of a growing and
expanding "family"?
Surely the ones to admit most
rapidly that there are fallacies in
the organizations are those who
are organizing them. These weak-nesses
will not be strengthened by
sitting around and criticizing the
sincere attempts of the pioneers,
but rather by those who are will-ing
to get behind the organiza-tions
and not only try to promote
them, but also, try to smooth out
some of the wrinkles which in-evitably
will arise.
We need such organizations!
Granted we have language clubs—
but aren't they limited to certain
members ? Doesn't the B-club have
a restricted membership ? Can all
belong to these organizations ?
It is granted that as long as
we're in the mortal state we are
that conditions are not going to
be perfect. But this doesn't justi-fy
that we should sit by in a com-placent
state of mind and not try
to improve the situation.
Dear Editor:
My name is Osbron. No! Not
Osborn. All my life people have
tried to identify me as 0-S -
We have a student at Bethel
whose name is Osborn. His name
was mispelled in the last issue of
the CLARION as O-S-B-R-O-N.
I'm glad! All my life I've wanted
someone to see it my way for at
least once. My name is never spell-ed
correctly, but this is the first
time I've ever seen anyone's name
spelled incorrectly so that it spells
my name. Thanks!

Dear Editor:
I think that it is quite evident
that there has been a negative re-action
by some to the editorial in
the last Clarion. The reaction is
not from those of a conservative
stamp nor from those who would
be unwilling to try a new idea or
system. It comes from some hav-ing
a knowledge of contemporary
institutions of this nature.
Is the idea of closed organiza-tions,
secret meetings, and the
like in agreement with our Baptist
heritage of democracy ? There are
some who say our fraternities will
be different. How do we know ?
Look at their actions! The boys'
society who wants to be licensed
on campus has a membership of
fifteen—they say that they will
let in five more. Would these be
different ? Consider the editorial!
Can we believe those who would
use McCarthyistic tactics in giv-ing
an archaic definition to the
word "fraternity" when the one
in use is radically different ? Is it
right to use a "Christian" sound-ing
definition to appeal to our
emotions, when the writer knew
very well what fraternities are in
American colleges and universities
and how Webster defines them ?
I am a Bethelite and I am proud
of it. Ma and Pa Bethel haven't
neglected me one bit. And as far
as the Bethel Family's getting too
large and "overworked" is con-cerned,
that is plain nonsense.

Making photo Christmas cards
is the entire agenda of the
Camera Club which will meet Nov.
30, at 7 p.m., in room 204 of the
college building. The first part of
the program will consist of a lec-ture
on the "know how." Then,
the club will proceed to the °chem-istry
laboratory where they will
actually make the cards.
All those interested are asked
to bring a negative and ten cards
with them. If the group is too
large there will be another session
of the club meeting on Dec. 7.
Everyone interested is welcomed
to attend.
New Lettermen
Initiated Soon
The Bethel letter-man's club, B-club,
will hold its initiation for
new football letter winners on
Nov. 18, at 8:00 p.m. The initia-tion,
scheduled at the fieldhouse
under the supervision of the cur-rent
letter holders, will be a secret
affair. Outsiders are not welcomed
—the doors will be guarded.
Letters will be awarded to the
newly initiated members in chapel
on Nov. 23. Those suffering from
the initiation will be: Dick Abra-hamson,
John Yost, Dave Eggen,

Penny Pitch ...
by Donn Goss
After last Tuesday's election, Bethel College and Seminary—the
last stronghold of the Republican party—must be thoroughly disap-pointed.
The country gave the whole legislative branch of the govern-ment
over to the Democrats, even after an intensive pitch made by the
President for his own party. Some political analysts are even wondering
if this is a vote of "no confidence" for the President and his program,
but none care to commit themselves without further study.
Organizations like our local grain co-op are shouting hurray for
our country which has just saved itself from a depression by returning
like a prodigal son to the Democrat side. But the question now is, "Can
the prophets of gloom and doom work with the President to give our
government policies any kind of direction ?"
I'm wondering if the Republicans will be aggressive enough to get
stickers for car windows with possible slogans, "The son you save may
be your own", or "Don't blame me, I voted Republican". Maybe Bethel-ites
would buy enough of these to make it worth while.

Football Panarama
by Roy Walters
Football has faded from the 1954 sports scene at Bethel. But the
hard-fought battles of the gridders will long be remembered by the
enthusiastic fans and spirited gridders alike.
The team opened the season on a victorious note, by edging
Itasca 6-0.
Sprink's Spurts
The leaves have faded and disappeared, the grass has withered,
Eric Borgeson has a new snow shovel, and the ghost of intramurals
lies a'mouldering in the grave. Just out of curiosity, does the athletic
department have any constructive suggestions on how to run the intra-mural
program, or are they satisfied with the inefficient set-up as it
now is ?
With the fading of the leaves and the coming of the snow, the
curtain of an interesting, and sometimes disappointing football season
is brought down. Before football fades into history, this column would
like to add a special word of mention to some of the fellows who didn't
receive any ink. These gridders are the substitutes who provided the
competition for starting spots. Such fellows as Glen Thomason, John
Osborn, John Yost, John Tierney, Bill Christianson, Dave Seaquist,
Fred Thomas, Chuck Anderson, "Red" Anderson, Hank Pederson, and
Jim Schmidt were out there every day fighting.
Thought for the Day: If all of Bethel's football team were laid
end to end, they would reach from the gym to the
dining hall.
Day Brightener: We don't play Augsburg next year.
"The Miller Sisters"
Bethel Racks
The Bethel Royals made their
last home game of the season a
victorious one by racking pre-viously
unbeaten Hibbing Junior
College, 39-6. The victory was
theirs because they were able to
sustain all scoring threats, and
eliminate previous handicaps, such
as fumbles and intercepted passes.
Bethel's offense sparkled with
the hardest running of the season
from fullback MacDonell and an
excellent passing game from
quarterback Brunzell, and a bevy
of receivers.

Hoopers Begin
New Season
With a final flurry of pigskin,
the football season has ended at
Bethel. With the football finale
comes the inauguration of the bas-ketball
season. The hoopsters have
been, for the past several weeks,
in extensive training for their sea-son's
opener with Luther College,
November 20, at New Ulm, Min-nesota.
Coach Del Ray Peterson reports
that at the opening whistle there
was a large and eager group of
recruits. However, with various
drop-outs and the official cut of
the squad, the number has dwind-led
to a workable 12. With the
addition of George Wessman, Dick
Abrahamson, Jack Tierney, and
Chuck Anderson from the football
team, the squad number will reach
16. Coach Peterson also states that
there will be a final cut to estab-lish
the varsity.
Returning lettermen and exper-ienced
players include Frank Bur-leson,
Paul Sandberg, Bill Conrad,
and Howie Rekstad. Promising
newcomers include Jim Almeroth,

General Beadle was next on
Bethel's list, and the Royals, back-ed
by the home crowd, rolled over
their opponent, 34-0. The following
week at Highland Park stadium,
the team met defeat at the hands
of Northland. A safety called
against Bethel seemed to hurt the
spirit of the team. In the remain-ing
part of the game, the gridders
were frustrated in their attempt
to score a deciding TD, and lost
by a 9-6 margin.
Homecoming with Wahpeton, at
Norton field, saw the Royals
march 55 yds. to score a TD, and
jump into a 6-0 lead. A blocked
punt on Bethel's own 17-yd. line,
seemed to take something from the
Royal spirit, as in its previous
game, and a Wahpeton victory re-sulted.
Augsburg, in a game we would
like to forget but must face,
thumped our squad to the tune of
81-0. However, Bethel, on the fol-lowing
Friday, brightened a cold
and gloomy afternoon by clobber-ing.
Hibbing 39-6. Hibbing had
rolled over Itasca, 46-0, a team
that Bethel had previously beaten,
6-0. If scores indicate anything, it
looked as if Bethel had progressed
since the beginning of the season.
The team closed its season on a
losing note by dropping its finale
to Worthington Junior College,
When asked how he felt about
the team this year, Coach Lynn
Lundin stated, "I had hoped we
would have had at least a 4-4
record. The team has had a better
spirit than last year's and they
were more experienced. The play-ers
have improved much since the
beginning of the season and if the
same boys return next year we'll
have a lot better team."
The coach also said that this
year's schedule was a rough one
and next year he plans on sched-uling
more games with teams in
Bethel's class. He believes compet-ing
with schools larger than
Bethel will not give us a winning
season nor will it influence other
athletes in attending our school.

These pictures were all taken on the grounds of the Mosque of Khalid Ibn al-Walid. My guidebook tells me the mosque was completely rebuilt in 1908-1913, but I have the strong feeling it has since been rebuilt again, the one I saw looked brand new. At any rate, it contains the (reputed) tomb of one of the early followers of Muhammad, Khalid Ibn al-Walid, whose military campaigns, again according to the guidebook, led to the Islamic conquest of Syria. He died in 642, his exploits were exclipsed by his sworn enemy, the Caliph Umar.
