Formally garbed Bethel scholars will wend their way across campus
on Friday, Sept. 29, for the opening honors convocation of the year.
"Reflections in Greatness"
Is '61 Homecoming Theme
the CLARION Volume XXXVIII—No. 2 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, September 21, 1961
At its meeting on March 27,
1961, the student senate adopted a
recommendation that a proposed
plan of student goevrnment be
drawn up which would establish a
college student government and a
seminary student government.
In the light of the long range
plans of the school which call for
a greater physical separation be-tween
the college and the semin-ary,
the senate feels that separ-ate
college and seminary student
governments would be the most
effective way to meet the diver-gent
needs and interests of the
two student bodies.
In addition, the constitutional
revision was necessitated by in-consistencies
and inadequacies in
the present constitution, and a
need both for more effective rep-resentation
and for better develop-ment
of leadership potential.
The authorized committee com-pleted
its work this summer and
has submitted to the senate a
document embodying the follow-ing
The total membership was in-creased
through the addition of
one representative from each col-lege
class in addition to the class
presidents, and the election of one
member-at-large for each two hun-dred
association members or frac-tion
A new cabinet post, the second
vice-president, was created. He
will lead the proposed student life
council, to be composed of the
chairmen of the standing commit-tees.
This council will organize and
coordinate the co-curricular pro-gram
of the student association.
Another addition is the academic
standing committee which will
plan and promote presentations of
an academic nature both on and
off campus. Also included in the
proposed constitution is a revised
section on election qualifications
and procedures.
The senate will be considering
this constitution during the next
few weeks and will be submitting
its proposals to the student body.
Lundquist and
Johnson Speak
To Seminarians
Camp St. Croix at Hudson,
Wisconsin, will be the scene of
the annual seminary retreat, Sept.
26 and 27. The retreat will begin
Tuesday afternoon with the open-ing

Carl Lundquist of Bethel and
Emmett Johnson, pastor of Elim
Baptist church in Minneapolis.
Much of the retreat will be de-voted

spiritual experiences, entitled
"Foundations of Greatness," will
be given by seminary student, Ron
Rietveldt on Thursday morning.
At the convocation on Friday, the
Rev. 0. B. Ransopher, a retired
Baptist minister, will present a
narrative on Abraham Lincoln.
"The Image of Greatness," an
original pageant based on the
speeches of Lincoln, produced and
directed by Bruce Leafblad, will
be featured Thursday and Friday
evenings. Thursday evening, the

liberal arts college library.
While on his sabbatical leave dur-ing
the school year 1962-63, Dr.
Fagerstrom will continue his work
for a master's degre in library
Science. As part of his prepara-tion
he hopes to include visits to
some undergraduate libraries.
When Dr. Fagerstrom returns
in the fall of 1963 to become col-lege
librarian, Mr. David Guston,

Student Journalism --
Its Role at Bethel
Roles of a college newspaper—inherent, assumed, unsurped, im-plied,
conflicting—are of basic concern in determining the value of a
news organ to its constituency. The responsibility for the definition
and balance of these roles must be assumed by the editor.
However, the above statement must almost be relegated to the
realm of pure theory since in actual practice there are many other
forces which are attempting to determine editorial policy. Many ques-tions
are often raised. Must student organizations, faculty and admini-stration
be extempted from editorial criticism? Are student journalists
capable of adequately defining their own spheres of influence? Often,
no answers are forthcoming and the debate rages on between students
who feel that their intrinsic freedoms are being abridged and leaders
of faculty and administration who feel that they may be unfairly
judged by students who are merely "looking for an issue."
Since the CLARION is issued only bi-weekly, much of its actual
news-paper function is dissipated. Its most important functions on
Bethel's campus then lie in the areas of stimulation, reflection, and
interchange student opinion. A provocative editorial tendency is meri-torious
in that it forces students to respond to written statements and
brings them to awareness, thus drawing them away from the passive
stand they usually assume.
The character-building and experience in responsible criticism that
results from allowing students to participate in written conflict may
negate the bewilderment and malignancy that could arise when answers
and solutions to issues and questions are demanded. The positive value
of such permissiveness should be all the more apparent in a Christian
context. It is important that unity does not come to mean unanimity.
The aim of the editorials that will appear in this column is not
necessarily objectivity in the editorial itself. An editorial is an ex-pression
of opinion, either the personal views of the editor or the
combined ideas of the editorial staff. However, objectivity is still pre-sent
in that the editors are willing to print alternative views as they
may be offered in letters to the editor. Letters may be presented on
any topic but must meet certain standards such as brevity (maximum
300 words) and appropriate choice of language. Realizing that an
important facet of gaining maturity is responsibility for defending
personal opinions, names will be withheld from printed letters only in
extreme circumstances and names must appear on every letter given
to the editor.

Liberal Protestantism, in its obsession with
the idea of love, has given it a highly emotional
and often humanistic connotation. Love for man-kind
thus comes to exist both for and in itself.
Because of this dilution and perversion of the con-cept,
evangelicalism has tended to react not only
against liberalism, but also subconsciously against
the scriptural love-emphasis. But what does the
New Testament mean by love and how important
is the concept?
Since Christ Himself does not directly define
love, we must turn to Paul's magnificant expo-sition
of the term. In the language of J. B. Phillips,
love "is slow to lose patience—it looks for a way
of being constructive . . . is not possessive . . . is
not anxious to impress . . . does not cherish in-flated
ideas of its own importance . . . has good
manners . . . does not pursue selfish advantage .. .
is not touchy . . . does not keep account of evil or
gloat over the wickedness of other people." ( I Cor.
13:4-6) Obviously, such love does not arise out of
emotion at all, but out of a will consecrated in
and to the Will of God.
Christ is probably the chief Biblical figure
quoted by modernists. But His idea of love was

their contribution as counsellors

Bennett on the Welcome Banquet,
Marilyn Benson and Carole Lund-quist

for the specific responsibility
they shared.

As Non-Emotional, Necessary
Is Berlin Worth
Nuclear War?
by Walfred H. Peterson
There are many forceful reasons
for not thinking that the Berlin
crisis will lead to nuclear war.
However, all of them suppose that
men act rationally. Is this suppo-sition
true ?
The nature of nuclear war
should deter men from its use. In
it, the total death and destruction
would be so appalling that it cal.-
not be compared to the wars of
the past. The short warning time,
the concussion power, the quick-traveling,
intense heat and the
radio-activity would combine to
kill tens of millions, destroy al-most
all property in large centers,
pollutet food and practically all
water supplies (even from deep
wells), ineffectuate medical-aid
measures, and wipe out existing
communication and supply net-works.
The nature of the post nuclear
world should also act as a deter-rent.
Law and order might well
break down in the animal-like
fight for survival that would come
in many areas. Starvation and
disease would be the lot of many.
To cope with these things it might
well be guessed that a military
dictatorship or regional dictator-ships
would necessarily arise —
apply -- life would be poor, nasty,
brutish, and short.
The nature of international re-lations
after such a war should

somewhat more than humanitarianism. To Him,
love for God and for other people was that upon
which the whole law of God depended. (Matt. 22:
37-40) It was the Ultimate Righteousness, a moral
perfection, we might add, which, because it is
utterly unachievable by means of human resources,
was made possible only through Christ's justifying
death and resurrection.
The writer John also speaks emphatically of
the necessity of love. He questions the reality of
our Christian experience if we are not loving, i.e.
"He who says he is in the light and hates his bro-ther
is in darkness still." (I John 2:9 RSV) "He
who does not love remains in death." (3:14) "He
who does not love does not know God, for God is
love." (4:8) Every Christian should examine him-self
in the light of these rather pointed sentences,
though such light may prove garish in its moral
Evangelical Christians should not shy away
from this vital Christian idea and thus leave them-selves
open to the accusation of being un-loving.
Rather, they should re-appropriate in its true
meaning the Christian love which only God can
give—and which Christ demands of them and which

Carole Lundquist glances unsociably at academically-minded Marilyn
Benson, as athletically-inclined Dick Larson endeavors to seat her at
the weekly dress-up dinner. Shirley Stearns looks on with cultural dis-dain,
while Lee Eliason was not present for religious reasons.
Serving on the student senate,
the governing body of the Bethel
student association, are four coun-cil
chairmen. The council chair-men
and their committees serve
as co-ordinators for campus acti-vities.
Heading the religious council is
senior Lee Eliason. Lee, a history
major, will also be taking courses
in the seminary this year. Past
responsibilities for Lee have in-cluded
1960-61 student senate
treasurer and two years as dorm
counsellor. As religious council
chairman, Lee and a committee
of seven are in charge of Bible
studies, prayer meetings, and
Christian service organizations.
Representatives from the council
serve on the chapel committee.
Religious council members will
also be assisting with Deeper Life
Week and Missions Week.
Shirley Stearns. Shirley is a mu-sic
major from Northfield, Minn.
Presently serving as dorm coun-sellor,
Shirley served as chairman
of the homecoming banquet last
year and also as a piano extension
teacher. The cultural council hopes
to expose Bethel students to the
segment of the cultural world
which exists in the twin city area
—art exhibits, musical and other
fine arts programs. The next pro-gram
to be sponsored by the cul-tural
council will be soprano Jose-phine
Bussalachi, Friday, Sept. 22.
Miss Bussalachi has appeared on
the Ed Sullivan television show
and has appeared locally with the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
and the St. Paul Civic Opera. The
concert will be held at 8 p.m. in
the field house.
Future programs sponsored by
the cultural council will include
the Sewell String Quartet, the
University of Minnesota band, the
St. Cloud College choir, the Uni-versity's
opera workshop and
others. Fine Arts emphasis, to be
held in April, will provide two
weekends of meaningful listening
and observing in art, music, litera-ture
and drama.
Acting as chairman for the
newly-formed academic council is
senior Marilyn Benson. Marilyn is
an English major from Worthing-ton,
Minnesota, and served as re-cording
secretary of student sen-ate
last year. This council is sub-ject
to approval of the proposed
Bethel college student association
constitution. The proposed duties
of the academic council include
promotion of both on and off cam-pus
educational opportunities.
Dick Larson, senior from Fergus
Falls, Minnesota is athletic coun-cil
chairman. Dick, a sociology
major, has played basketball for
the Bethel Royals for three years
and is presently captain of the
tennis team. Dick heads a com-mittee
of six as athletic chair-man.
Responsibilities for the ath-letic
council include the campus
intramural program (which is be-ing
completely revised this year),
co-ordinating co-recreational acti-vities,
and advertising for athletic
events. The athletic council also
supervises the election of cheer-leaders.
Sophomore Carole Lundquist
from St. Paul heads the social
council. As a freshman, Carole was
a delegate to the convention of
the American Association of Ev-angelical
Students in Springfield,
Missouri. The social council is in
charge of Sno Daze, the all-school
banquet and the spring social. Also
included in their responsibilities
are the dress-up nights once a

The coffee house, although or-iginating
in Europe in the last
part of the sixteenth century, is
relatively new in this part of the
country. A coffee house is a ra-ther
unusual type of establish-ment;
unlike most modern Ameri-can
cafes, it's not a place where
you "eat and run," it's a place to
relax and enjoy a little classical
music, a reading or even a short
An example of this is the Dud-ley
Riggs Caffe Expresso, the
only place in the Twin Cities that
comes close to the atmosphere of
the European coffee house. If you
are looking for "Beatniks" (what-ever
they are), you will not find
them there—coffee houses are toe
expensive! Coffee ranges from 25
to 65 cents a cup, but surprising-ly
enough — it's worth it. They
have, without a doubt, the best
and most unusual coffees in town,
ranging from rich, strong, black
Expresso to a host of delicate and
tastefully spiced exotic blends.
There is, of course, a wide selec-tion
of delicious pastries also.
Their "coffee pot" is a $12,000
imported expresso machine that
makes the brew by forcing live

The atmosphere here is height-ened
by a background of classical
music, dim lights and ornate old
paintings. The general feeling is
that of casual intellectualism.
Conversation is the chief activity,
enhanced by the soothing music

see people dressed in everything
from blue jeans to expensive suits.
At 8:30 and 11:00 on Wednes-day
nights, the Brave New Work-shop

as "Dear Abbey" and the Miss
America pageant. They're always

Badges, Beanies, Banquets -- Welcome Week
Events Relegated to Memories of New Students
by Judy Dow
Badges, beanies, and banquets became a significant part of life to freshmen before Welcome Week
drew to a close last Saturday. The activity-packed week, planned by the Welcome Week committee to or-ientate
freshmen to college life and provide opportunity to get acquainted, began Sept. 8 with an all-school
Highlighting the week's activities was a retreat at Big Trout Lake for freshmen and transfer students,
Sept. 10-12. Clinics and workshops supplied cheerleading, SPIRE and CLARION information for those in-terested
in these activities. Buzz sessions provided the opportunity for new students to inquire into college
Although mentally at ease, 're-treaters'
had little time for physi-cal
relaxation. Games such as
`Wells Fargo,' Round Robin table
tennis and softball, plus pep fests,
chapel meetings and campfire ser-vices
constituted a rigorous sched-ule.
Speakers for the services includ-ed
Dean Webster Muck, President
Carl Lundquist, Dean Clifford
Larson and Dr. Paul Finlay.
Green beanies, as well as iden-tification
badges, became the sym-bol
of the 'green' underclassmen.
Capping ceremonies were held at
6:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11,
and beanies were donned along
with an oath to comply with the
wishes of upperclassmen. The
beanies were worn at all times
until commencement Friday, Sept.
Freshmen also had the oppor-tunity
to discuss with their advi-sors
the academic side of life on
campus at the Welcome Banquet
held Sept. 9, while "Moods" were
portrayed fn music and poetry at
the All-School Welcome on Wed-nesday
The Cultural Council introduced
the cultural phase of campus life
to new students Friday, Sept. 15,
with a concert featuring Mr. Ar-thur
Thom, tenor, with Theodore
Bergman, accompanist.
Activities for Saturday, the
final day of Welcome Week, in-cluded
a football game, an all-school
picnic at Como Park, and
the first chance to sleep in late.
Frosh Divulge Expectations
Of Bethel Opportunities
It seems that the college office inadvertently
admitted more freshmen than could be adequately
accomodated with present college facilities. An
immediate solution to this pressing problem was
necessary. In an attempt to determine the validity
of Darwin's much-maligned theories of "survival of
the fittest," the recreational director at retreat in-stigated
a full-scale massacre of pseudo-cowboys
and Indians. Lending silent consent, the deans fished
on. However, a post-mortem evaluation reveals that
the college office will have to develop more strin-gent
means of limiting class size since no casual-ties
were reported.
Editor's note: Following are
excerpts from essays on "What
I expect at Bethel" written dur-ing
the CLARION workshop at
freshmen retreat. It is hoped
that the ideas expressed are
representative of those of in-coming
students and that they

to returning members

Primarily I desire to look into
the humanities in a Christian
light; I believe in this kinship of
Christian devotion and scholar-ship
. . . I expect to learn to
enjoy and understand the things
around me more fully . . . My
mind is hungrily searching for
knowledge and wisdom regarding
many facets of life .. . At Bethel
I expect opportunity for intellect-ual
pursuits — long, jolly Rook
games, happy hours spent chasing
Well's Fargo cowboys . . . Though
my first and foremost goal is to
get an education, the reason I
chose Bethel was because of its
Christ-centered atmosphere . . . I
hope that at Bethel, through my
friends and professors, I may sat-isfy
my spiritual hunger as well
as the one for education . . . I am
anticipating years of wonderful
Christian fellowship . . . I expect
the dorm life to be orderly and
everyone thinking twice before
hurting someone's feelings . . . I
expect the students at Bethel to
be friendly and, more important,
to be Christians seeking God's
will .. . Finding one's life calling
is sometimes very difficult — not
often a bolt out of the blue. Bethel
offers for me an opportunity to
grow in knowledge, wisdom, and
social and spiritual maturity.
These four, when combined with
a Christian campus and program,
provide excellent conditions under
which the Lord's calling can ma-terialize
to something very real
for every Christian . . . At Bethel,
I am seeking to integrate my pe-culiar
abilities and ambitions into
the most purposeful life possible,
while I do more "growing up" in
Him . . . Time for quiet reflection
and meditation to assimilate the
social activities will no doubt be
provided in the coffee shop be-tween
classes . . . I have been
looking forward to Bethel as "the
house of God" where I can grow
in my Christian life and help
others to grow in theirs . . .
As well as expecting something
from the school, I also, by the
Lord's help, want to contribute
something in exchange.

It confuses because for the past
decade or more the American pub-lic
could have demanded that a
good civil defense program be un-dertaken.
It might have cost no

But the Americans who wer,

This kind of irrational thinking
can push the leaders of both this

Outweighed but not outfought;
less experienced but more deter-mined—
this was the story as the
Bethel Royals scratched their way
to a 12-6 victory over Sioux Falls
college in the 1961 grid opener
played September 16 at the Nor-ton
Field. A third quarter touch-down
by fullback Jim Nelson pro-vided
the clincher as the Royals
gathered a crucial victory in what
could be the beginning of a rise
in Bethel football fortunes after
last year's 2-6 season.
Bethel kicked off 'to Sioux Falls'
quarterback Buddy Sanchez who
returned the ball to his own 29.
The Braves could not move the
ball and punted, with the Royals
moving from their own 36 to the
Sioux Falls' 38 in six plays keyed
by two fine runs by Bob Larson.
Blocking lapses and a backfield
mixup brought about a Bob Clause
punt, but fine defensive play forc-ed
Sioux Falls to punt once more.
On the third down and six yards
to go, Larson rolled to the right
and threw to end Don Peterson
who outmaneuvered the secondary
for a touchdown and a 6-0 Bethel
lead. The point-after attempt was
In the second quarter, Sanchez
led the Braves on their only scor-ing
drive of the day. A swing pass
to Jim Heinsucker carried to the
Bethel 23 where a hard tackle by
Nelson eliminated the Brave's best
back for the remainder of the
game. Dennis Sonde led the drive
to the Royals 3 where Sanchez
sneaked over for the touchdown.

Saturday's opening game at least partially answered some ques-tions
about which Coach Halleen and his staff had been quite con-cerned.
Among these were the ability of Bob Larson to provide better
than adequate field generalship from his quarterback post; the pass
defense; the inexperience of some upperclassmen and of course the
freshmen; and finally the question of team depth.
The first seemed to be answered rather well as Larson called an
alert game and ran strongly. His passing was certainly adequate, par-ticularly
in view of the rather strong wind. Larson is obviously 100%
improved over last season and the Lake Norden, S. Dak. sophomore
could be one of the big factors in lifting Bethel from their recent foot-ball
The pass defense showed up surprisingly well. Whether or not
this is due to the weakness of the Sioux Falls quarterbacks remains
to be seen. The visitors were obviously hurting at the quarterback
slot as both Sanchez and Reed consistently underthrew their receivers.
This should not overshadow the fine work of Dave Cox and Dave Asher
in the defensive backfield but the pass defense must remain a question
mark until it is really tested.
The third question was answered in rather surprising fashion as
such rather inexperienced players as Dan Travaille, Mike Miller, Asher,
Ken Hardy, Myron Leafblad, Bill Carter, Cox, Gene Selander, and
Lowell Gause all played well. Continued improvement by these and
others would be very helpful to say the least.
Team depth won Saturday's game. Bethel could substitute rather
freely without losing strength where Sioux Falls could not. This is
particularly refreshing after it is remembered that Bethel fielded a
total of 17 players for the final game of the 1960 season. Coach Halleen
must receive credit for some successful recruiting which is all the
more amazing when it is considered that Bethel's athletic scholarship
program is almost non-existent.
Bethel has a very strong line. The likes of Ray Shepherd, Chuck
Rogers, Phil Evan, Gause, Don Peterson, and Jerry Oas completely
outplayed a bigger Sioux Falls line. Captain Shepherd is developing into
a really fine team leader.
The Bethel cheering section was rather lazy Saturday. This in-cludes
the fans, the band, and the cheerleaders. The small Sioux Falls
pep band seemed to have more life than our entire cheering section.
This should be improved for future home games. By the way, how
did you like the new uniforms—pretty sharp ?

An excerpt from Laurence Freeman OSB, "The Labyrinth," JESUS THE TEACHER WITHIN (New York: Continuum, 2000), pp. 231-32.
If we are to embrace the eternity of the fullness of being (the "I AM" of God), we must first face the stark reality of impermanence and emptiness.
The temptation is always to reduce the intensity, to sink to a lesser degree of consciousness, even to fall asleep. The Buddha warned against clouding the mind at this or indeed any stage of the journey with intoxicants or sedatives, uppers or downers. Jesus urged everyone to stay fully conscious:
Be alert, be wakeful. You do not know when the moment comes. . .Keep awake then for you do not know when the master of the house is coming. Evening or midnight, cock-crow or early dawn---if he comes suddenly, he must not find you asleep. And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Stay awake. (Mk 13:33-37)
In the letter to the Ephesians Paul says that this state of wakefulness leads to the "spiritual powers of wisdom and vision" and on to gnosis, of spiritual knowledge. But even with the strongest faith, the sorrowful sense of separateness is not immediately dissipated even when wisdom begins to shine. The wall of the ego can feel like an insuperable obstacle, a dead end leaving us nowhere to run to. But, as the Resurrection reminds us, what seems and feels like the end is not. By facing our entrenched egoism and recognizing its slow dying, meditation helps us to verify our own resurrection in our own experience.
The law of lower nature, of karma, and the domination of the limiting ego reign until, until a hole in the wall appears. First one brick is removed, as if by an unseen hand, and we glimpse a perspective beyond anything we had previously thought or were capable of knowing. It is an experience and yet it is known in a way unlike anything we have experienced before. We are no longer the merely individual person we thought we were. Life has changed irreversibly. We live and yet, like St Paul, we live no longer.
I am because I am not.
After Meditation, from THE BEST OF MEISTER ECKHART, ed. Halcyon Backhouse (New York: Crossroad, 1996), p. 96.
"What is the prayer of the solitary heart?" My answer is that detachment and emptiness cannot pray at all, for whoever prays desires something from God: something to be added. . .or something to be taken away. But the heart that is detached has no desire for anything, nor has it anything to be delivered from. So it has no prayers at all; its only prayer consists in being one with God.

Where do lost socks go, you've often wondered: they must go somewhere. Mostly we go through the Drain: the one in the bottom of the Washer. Why? Well, we all go for different reasons. My partner, my mate... had a run.
In the Washer, I could see the knit unraveling as we tumbled, bits of yarn coming loose in the slosh and rush of soapy water. "You're finished," I said, horrified. "When they take us out of the Dryer--" And how much more fabric would the Dryer steal?-- "you'll be for the trash."
"That's how it goes," sighed my mate. All the other socks, tumbling past and around us, mumbled agreement. They were mostly white tube socks, athletic socks, identical. Unpaired. I saw no reason why I should listen to them. Only my partner's opinion mattered to me.
"We've got to escape," I said. "You don't want to get thrown away. I don't want to get thrown away." Who would keep half a pair of socks? I had never thought of it before, but the jock socks have it better; if one has to be thrown away, it doesn't mean anything for the rest of them.
"Escape if you want," said my partner. A rush of current carried us up toward the top of the Washer, and it was the easiest thing in the world to slip up and over the top of the drum, slide down between it and the outside wall of the Washer, towards the Drain. The next spin cycle would empty the drum, flushing us down the Drain and out into the world, into a vast and uncertain future.
But my partner was still inside the drum.
"Come out," I begged. "Come out. We have to go together."
"I'm not going. I'll stay and accept my fate like a good sock. You never really understood that, did you? Socks aren't supposed to have the kind of ideas you do. Socks should go where they're sent and stay where they're put."
"No, please! I don't want to go alone!" I'd looked down on the jock socks for not being paired, but at least they were members of a set. Without my mate, I'd be a singleton. A mismatched sock! What can be worse than to be a mismatched sock?
It was too late; I couldn't slither up the wall and get back into the drum, and I could hear the agitate cycle dying down, the Washer getting ready for its spin. Did it know or care what it was doing to us, I wondered bitterly, this vast machine that ate us and spat us out and stripped precious fibers away from our bodies. One way or another, the Washer gets us all in the end.
The spin started. I clung to the lip of the Drain as water rushed down around me. "Please! Please! You can get out on the rinse, I'll try to wait for you, please follow me!"
No answer from my mate. I lost my grip and was sucked down into the confines of the Drain.
The inside of the Drain was smooth, and water rushed along at a terrible pace, carrying me farther and farther from the Washer and my partner. Well, I told myself, it was better than the trashcan. And if my mate didn't come, or couldn't find me, I'd have to survive on my own. I could do that. I was a good sock, heavyweight wool in a sober heathery brown. I wasn't even that worn; we were a relatively new pair. How could my partner have gotten a run so soon? There must have been a flaw, a slub or a break. These things happen. The machines that make us aren't totally reliable. There was nothing wrong with me.
The flow of the water increased, and I was battered and jostled along. Several Drains seemed to have joined together; I was moving through a bigger space, a larger volume of water than could have come just from the Washer, huge though it was.
I traveled on for hours and hours. The water moved constantly, now fast, now slow. The Drain kept getting bigger. At some point, I floated up to the surface and bobbed along inside a giant tunnel. I knew what this was, I'd heard rumors: it was the Sewer.
There were gratings in the Sewer, half-clogged with all kinds of sodden rubbish. I saw pieces of paper, leaves and branches, rags, even another stray sock. I stayed low in the water. I wasn't eager to be seen; to have my singularity, my shame, exposed. I slipped through one of the openings in the grating and let the current carry me onward.
The water was thick and foul. Of course we socks have no sense of smell-- how could we stand our lives if we did? But I knew, from overhearing things that people say, that the Sewer had a bad smell. Most people would have nothing to do with a Sewer if they could help it.
So I was surprised to see lights. There was a ledge along the side of the Sewer, and there were men standing on it, dressed in rubber and with little lamps attached to their helmets. I looked at their feet; of course they were wearing heavy boots, but my imagination immediately filled in what lay under those boots. Socks. Warm comfortable socks. Matched socks.
Suddenly I was horrified at myself. What had I done? I'd abandoned my partner, my other half. I'd chosen to make my way into the world alone, a single sock, an ex-half-of-a-pair. Better to have stayed a pair, I thought now, better to have faced the fate of garbage together-- a sock alone is a terrible thing, an offense against the right way of the world. Bad enough to be separated accidentally. But I had done it on purpose! For no better reason than that I was afraid of being thrown away!
Despondent, I abandoned myself to the cold dark currents of the Sewer. The men's headlamps receded into the distance and vanished. I floated on. Eventually I fetched up against a grating and didn't bother to look for a way through it; I hung there in the dark, bobbing slightly.
This was the end. Here in the depths of the Sewer. This was the final home of a bad sock.
How long I rested against the grating, I don't know. After a while I noticed that the level in the Sewer was rising and the water seemed to be coming faster. Turbulent currents jostled and sloshed, water slapping against the walls and the grate. It was almost like being back in the Washer. I was dislodged, swept through the grating and onwards.
The Sewer was full, and I was forced against the roof, scraping along. I ducked a little under the surface so that I wouldn't get snagged on anything, though I couldn't have told you why I cared. I raced through pipe after pipe, carried by the flood.
Suddenly there was light again, a blinding wall of it. I shot out of the mouth of a giant pipe and splashed down into more water. At first I couldn't make it out; it seemed like another Sewer, a gigantic one. Roofless. The edges of it weren't brick, or metal, or anything else I'd seen in the Sewer. Slowly I came to understand that I was no longer in any part of the Sewer. It must have been raining, I'd gotten washed into an overflow pipe, and now I was in the river.
The river was much slower than the ride through the Sewer had been, and I was tired of being dragged along anyway. I swam slowly toward the bank, into shallower, slower water. After what must have been hours-- the sky was starting to get dark-- I dragged myself up onto a pebbly shore and under some bushes.
That's where they found me. Not that night, but the next morning. A whole gang of unmatched socks. It was a shocking sight, almost obscene-- and then it occurred to me that I was an unmatched sock myself. My partner had surely been relegated to the trash. Even if that wasn't so, there was no way we would ever find each other again.
So I had no right to be repelled by the sight before me; a swarm of socks, easily a dozen, and each one... unique. A red one with black silk clocks. A couple of white athletic socks, with different logos at the cuff. A blue and beige argyle. A heathery dark green wool sock, not unlike me except for the color. A plain black one. A tiny pink baby-sock. A sheer nylon stocking, badly snagged and torn. All of them muddy and bedraggled.
"Who are you?" I asked. "What do you want?"
The argyle answered. "We're socks, just like you. Do you want to be worn again?"
"What?" I said. How could I be worn without my mate? The idea made no sense. Were these singletons mad?
"Look." The argyle slithered up to me; the others gathered around, friendly but a little wary. "It's this way. There are people who come down here looking for anything the river leaves. They'll probably come today, because after rain like we had yesterday there's plenty of stuff along the shore. That's why we came down.
"If they see you here, they'll probably pick you up. You're a pretty good-looking sock. You'd be warm."
"I am," I said, with instinctive pride. Then I remembered, and my pride deserted me. "But... how is that possible? I'm-- I'm not--"
"Not matched," agreed the argyle, seemingly undisturbed by the wrongness of it. "These humans don't care. They'll wear anything. Apparently they can't afford to buy socks."
"Not quite anything," said the nylon ruefully. "I'm no good to them. Too torn."
"They don't want me either," whispered the baby-sock.
"They'll probably take me," said the green wool sock. "Maybe both of us-- we could make a new pair, eh?"
I recoiled in horror. I had never understood how the athletic socks could stand to be worn with a different partner each time-- but this! To be deliberately paired with an unmatching sock!
"Easy, there," said the argyle. "Not every sock cares for the idea. I don't myself. If you don't want to go with people, I'll show you where to hide. Down here, socks have a choice. Everything doesn't have to be the way they told you in the wrapper."
"I'm beginning to think nothing's the way they told me in the wrapper," I said slowly.
"Well, there you go. You can be a free sock and live with us. Or you can be a useful sock, even though you're unmatched. It's up to you."
"I'll... I'll stay free," I said. "At least for now. Can I go to the people later, if I change my mind?"
"Of course you can," said the argyle. "Welcome aboard. Now come with us: we need to see if any more socks came ashore last night."
So we slithered on down over the stones and pebbles, and I saw at once that this life couldn't last. Sliding along on rough surfaces is terribly bad for fabrics, especially knits like most socks. I wondered if the nylon had gotten those terrible runs after coming here. I wondered if I would last longer on the feet of the strange people the argyle had told me about than on the rocky beach.
"There's another sock," said the red sock.
One of the athletic socks nudged me. "Looks a lot like you."
I looked. There was a brown sock down at the shoreline, humping weakly away from the water. A heathery wool sock.
Disbelief held me for only a second. Then I was rushing down the shingle, past the argyle and the nylon, to be reunited with the only sock in the world who mattered to me. My mate, my partner! My faithful one had followed me down the Drain, all the way from the Washer! I was no longer unmatched!
Ecstatic, we wrapped ourselves around each other. My mate was still wet, but it hardly mattered. We were together again, a pair again. We were whole.
The other socks held off a little way, watching us-- jealously, I fancied. I started to explain them to my partner, but we were interrupted by a human voice. "There's a nice pair!"
The argyle and several other socks disappeared under the nearby bushes. The green sock stayed in view, along with the two athletic socks and the nylon. But the man who'd spoken had only eyes for my partner and me.
He picked us up, fingering our weaves. "Yup, nice thick socks. A little dirty, but what the hell. I'll wash you out in clean water. Good as new. Oh, a run; still, pretty good pair. Warm. That's good. Winter's coming on."
And he stuck us in his pocket and walked away. I peeked out for one last look at the shoreline. The green sock, overlooked ,was staring sulkily out over the water. The argyle peeked out from the bushes and waved good luck, and I waved back.
It might not be such a great life with this person, but I didn't care. We might be facing hard wear and dirty times, but at least we were together. I felt I could face anything, as half of a pair.

The Lost Sock's Story
Where do lost socks go, you've often wondered: they must go somewhere. Mostly we go through the Drain: the one in the bottom of the Washer. Why? Well, we all go for different reasons. My partner, my mate... had a run.

I loved every word of this! Now I know why I have so many unmatched socks. Most of mine don't have a devoted partner such as your protagonist had. They just clutter up my sock drawer, hoping to find a new mate who ALMOST matches them.
- Linda Jacobs said...
Love the metaphor! Very creastive and unique!
- DaisyBug said...
Very nice metaphor - thanks!
- Fantasies of a Lifetime said...
Loved the post. . .That was one lovely sock story. . I always seem to have unmatched sock pairs in my draw -not so love stricken i guess, so where do u get your 'devoted to each other' socks from?? :P
- MyMaracas said...
How wonderfully creative, and a great metaphor. "The Washer gets us all in the end..." LOL
- sister AE said...
But it also puts me in mind of the socks I saw for sale this summer - they were outrageously bright, each sock a riot of multiple colors, and each sock unique. They come in sets of three socks!
- linda may said...
Great story. So that is where the missing socks go, never mind I am sure they are needed by someone else more than me :)
- susan said...
Fantastic! Great detail and metaphor. Will be back again.
- thefirecat said...
Poor unmatched sock!! I want to go into my top dresser drawer and hug them all, poor dears.
- Lilibeth said...
Great story writing. I loved how you kept my interest. . . even for a sappy sock story. I don't even like love stories. Ah well. What a great read.
- Jones Morris said...
designs by clients are not always the easiest to understand. Fortunately there are solutions to help you create designs that manufacturers can read, so you get the socks that you want. funky cycling socks

Google And Apple Fight For Your Health
According to a Forbes report, Google Fit will aggregate data through open APIs, so Google will announce partnerships with wearable device makers at its I/O conference. One source with knowledge of Google's plans said Google Fit would allow a wearable device that measures data like steps or heart rate to interface with Google's cloud-based services, and become part of the Google Fit ecosystem.
It's unclear if Google Fit will be a service build into the next version of Android, or a standalone app that Android users will be able to download independently. But Google will most probably tie the new health platform to with Android Wear, a version of Google's Android mobile operating system that's built for smart watches and other wearable devices.
Microsoft is also getting in the game later this year with its own smart watch that measures continuous heart rate. The company already owns HealthVault, a web-based platform launched in 2010 to store health and fitness information
It looks like the major mobile manufacturers have all settled on health as the next big area to do battle with on the smartphone fields of war. They have left the competition on the hardware specs aaside, and are focusing on the value of the software (apps).
But creating health platforms that aggregate consumers' sensitive personal health records has raised privacy concerns. In addition, offering healt-related feedback to consumers could be risky since they would not go through a FDA-regulated diagnosis first.

The thread-pool-init function creates a new pool of user threads. A pool must be declared before it is used. For a plug-in to use the new pool, specify the pool parameter when loading the plug-in with the Init-class function load-modules. For more information, see load-modules.
This function is applicable in Init-class directives.
One reason to create a custom thread pool would be if a plug-in is not thread-aware, in which case you can set the maximum number of threads in the pool to 1. The older parameter NativeThread=yes always engages one default native pool, called NativePool.
The native pool on UNIX is normally not engaged, as all threads are kernel-level threads. In addition, native thread pool parameters can be added to the magnus.conf file for convenience. For more information, see Chapter 4, Syntax and Use of magnus.conf.
The following table describes the thread-pool-init parameters.Table 5–9 thread-pool-init Parameters
The name of the thread pool.
The maximum number of threads in the pool.
The minimum number of threads in the pool.
The size of the pool queue. If all threads in the pool are busy, further request-handling threads that need to get a thread from the pool wait in the pool queue.
The number of request-handling threads that can wait in the queue is limited by the queue size. If the queue is full, the next request-handling thread that comes to the queue is turned away, with the result that the request is turned down. But the request-handling thread remains free to handle another request instead of becoming locked up in the queue.
Stack size of each thread in the native (kernel) thread pool.

The New Bern Bears came out of the gate with passion and emotion.
The New Bern Bears came out of the gate with passion and emotion.
The seniors, most of them have played together for years, had a look of determination and played with a little more energy.
On Senior Night, New Bern's volleyball team had perennial powerhouse J.H. Rose against the ropes.
But in the end, the Bears lost in five sets to the Rampants on Tuesday � 25-22, 16-25, 25-21, 23-25, 11-15.
�The first game against Rose (a four-set loss) was a good fight too,� New Bern coach Tori Bennett said. �This was definitely the best I have seen them come together.
�It's still disappointing, but they gave it their all.�
Prior to the match, seniors Olivia Stewart, Caitlin Solter, Sydney Gilgo, Bailey Jordan, Brittany McKeon, Hailey Lindell and Olivia Mitchell were honored.
It was the seniors, along with the contributions of a few underclassmen, that almost pulled off the upset against Rose.
�We had so much energy and passion. We thought we had it, but it just wasn't enough,� Solter said.
�All the seniors wanted it because this is our last time playing here. We wanted to go out strong. I think we did really well.�
Solter led New Bern with 23 kills, while Gilgo added 10 and McKeon tallied eight. Mitchell, who played more minutes because of a knee injury to setter Stewart, distributed 15 assists.
�A lot of them have been playing together for years,� Bennett said. �Although I didn't experience all those years, it shows in their play.�
New Bern jumped out to a 10-3 advantage in the first set. Rose rallied to cut its deficit to two points, 24-22. Gilgo's kill ended the first.
The Bears were tied with the Rampants, 12-12, in the second before Rose pulled away.
New Bern upped its advantage to 18-12 in the third, and Emma Melton's kill put the Bears up two games to one.
The Bears had a 17-16 edge in the fourth set and a 7-4 lead in the fifth, but failed to close it out.
�I couldn't ask for anything more from them,� Solter said. �We had each others back the whole way through. We kept pushing and fighting no matter what the score was.�
Melton and Kayla Dellapia added six kills apiece and Mitchell served 15 points and six aces.
J.H. Rose was guided by Caroline Kuhn's 15 kills. Kendall Douglas had 11 kills and Shelby Casey had nine.
New Bern (13-7 6-4) finishes its regular season at C.B. Aycock on Wednesday. The Bears start playoffs on Saturday.

Everyone's raving about the American shale gas revolution, which could make the country the next Saudi Arabia of energy.
Indeed, the growth rate in shale gas production has gone geometric.
However, things are showing signs of slowing down.
Credit Suisse's Oil & Gas Exploration & Production research team led by Arun Jayaram is out with a note titled 10 Observations About Natural Gas. Here's their second observation:
2. Production from unconventional plays is starting to soften. Exhibit 1 illustrates the jaw dropping increase in natural gas production from unconventional dry gas plays. After taking many years to reach 5 Bcf/d of production, the industry added 5 Bcf/d in a two year stretch between 2008 and 2010, which took overall production to 10 Bcf/d. In the past two years, the industry has nearly doubled production to ~20 Bcf/d or 27% of supply. Recent data suggests that this trend is finally beginning to ease given sharp reductions in drilling activity in the Barnett, Haynesville, Fayetteville, and Woodford Shale plays, which should mute further gains in the Marcellus Shale.

The backstreets of Kabukicho are emphatically not guidebook Japan. There are no raked gardens of tranquillity or mile-high electronics shops. No giant Hello Kitty effigies or schoolgirls giggling behind their hands. Not real ones, anyway.
We're in the back end of Tokyo's red light district. Tangled in a cat's cradle of power lines, it's a scrubby fretwork of low-rise corridors, barely wide enough for the blacked-out Benzes that routinely slip past. Between the love hotels and host bars and noodle shacks, there are thousands of pot plants, incongruously meticulous. You wonder who waters them, and with what.

Purchasing Bulk CBD oil at wholesale in Sharpsburg basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of Wholesale Bulk CBD oil produced by the plant.

The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD wholesalers in Sharpsburg need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.

Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your CBD materials, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
You don't have to visit our shop in person to buy the product. That will help you save time and money in the process. You should extensively research the drug store before buying your products. Remember, there are many scam traders posing off as legitimate drug sellers online.

Have you ever imagined using cannabis for your skin regimen? Well you'll be surprised to know that is in fact one of the most sought after skin care products today. Although the regular Marijuana is known for its negative effects, a CBD topical proves great for skin conditions. It is surprisingly effective if you follow the proper guidelines to using it.
Cannabis Essential Oil
The components of a CBD essential oil are very powerful. It includes monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and other organic compounds that are also highly active. This essential oil is green liquid and is primarily distributed from France and other European countries. However, the exportation of CBD essential oils is limited because cannabis is illegal in other countries. And because of its powerful effects, you'll only need a small amount of this oil to show its benefit.
This substance comes from the cannabis plant and has become a very popular essential oil in many countries. It has a wide range of benefits for your health problems like migraines, lack of appetite, stress, and even for your sex drive. For treating cancer, it is suggested to take three doses of this oil every day. But, you have to take note that cannabis is illegal in some countries so you have to know its consequences.

CBD topicals are proven to revitalize dry and aging skins. Our body has natural endocannabinoids which responds when the skin is irritated or damaged. CBD oils will help your skin as they interact with these receptors.
CBD As Antioxidants.
Since free radicals can damage your skin, antioxidants are needed to prevent it from these damages. According to studies, CBD has more vitamin A, C, and E and it is a potent antioxidant. Fighting wrinkles and fine lines from appearing is the job for antioxidants. As you are exposed from UV rays, smoke, and more pollutants everyday, they can damage your skin and will make your skin look older. These free radicals can also cause skin cancer.
CBD oils are great anti-inflammatories. If you accidentally trip and has some swelling in your ankles, applying CBD onto the injured area will remove the swelling.

This is a very hard post for me to write, but you have all been with me through many changes in my life, so I wanted to include in you what's next for me. I will be taking some time off from the blog, in an effort to focus on my personal life. I am going through some changes, and will need strength and support to get through the next few months. Luckily, the people in my life have been unconditionally supportive and I can't say enough thank you's.
As soon as things start to calm down I will be back, and I hope for some new changes on my blog as well.. but we'll save that for later. Thank you for reading and following along! I will miss cooking for you and receiving your feedback, but this isn't goodbye. See you again very soon friends. Take care of each other and yourselves.

First Look: VIDEO WATCHDOG 170!
October 12 is coming and it's going to be Daliah Laví's 70th birthday! To commemorate this happy occasion, VIDEO WATCHDOG is set to unveil my in-depth interview with Daliah, the only in-depth Q&A she has ever granted about her film career, covering her collaborations with Vincente Minnelli (TWO WEEKS IN ANOTHER TOWN), Richard Brooks (LORD JIM), of course Mario Bava (THE WHIP AND THE BODY) and also her little-seen, powerful performance as a demonically possessed young woman in Brunello Rondi's IL DEMONIO! And for you 007 fans, yes, there is some discussion of CASINO ROYALE (the original!) in there too...
Also in this issue, the VW debut of horror scribe Lianne Spiderbaby, who presents a woman's eye view of Pedro Almodóvar's chilling THE SKIN I LIVE IN. There's also Nathaniel Thompson's breakdown of all the different versions of Dario Argento's FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET on DVD and Blu-ray, Ramsey Campbell on THE KILL LIST, Douglas E. Winter on Jerry Goldsmith, and more!
You can read all the details about our latest issue here, with a full contents listing and four free sample pages. For added incentive, we are offering this issue -- beginning today, for three days only -- at a special Pre-Sale rate of $3 off (that's $9 USA/$12 outside USA)! Available only here, and only through Friday, October 5!

Sterling silver Afghan Hound charm.
The Afghan Hound is an ancient dog, North African sight-hounds, (hounds that hunt using speed and sight rather than scent) migrated into the mountains of Afghanistan the hounds with the heaviest coats were used to breed from, creating the Afghan. They then spread into the border areas and into India where they were used by hunters and shepherds. In Afghanistan, the breed is used to guard sheep and cattle, and to hunt deer, wolves, gazelles, foxes, leopards and panthers.
