Benedictine Institute Essay Contest 2012
Matthew Palmquist
Benedictine Institute Essay Contest Winner
Who Knew?
"Even the best men go astray with words, when they are to express something very gentle and almost unutterable...if you have a love for insignificant things and seek, simply as one who serves, then everything will become easier for you, more coherent and somehow more conciliatory in your innermost consciousness, wakefulness, and knowing." ~~Rainer Maria Rielke, 1903
I don't know what brought me to Saint John's. I was happy at home, a place where most kids don't leave. They might leave for the big city to study for a few years. But they return-a few years older and a few pounds heavier-to wander the small town streets and wait for the bars to open. Living in Smalltown, Minnesota was comfortable. But as time got closer to applying for school, I got this uncontrollable itch for more, to leave my happy square universe, and to be part of something greater.
College has always been part of my life plan; I just never pictured where I'd be. I never think about the future like that-picturing where I'll be in "x" amount of years-because life's most predictable facet is its unpredictability, and trying to control unpredictability leads to disappointment. So I sent out the applications, and let hazard and chance choose for me, knowing that I would be happy wherever I ended up.
A few months later, glowing in the sunset, I was sitting at my favorite spot on top of the town's ski jump overlooking the coniferous forest to the South, the reservation lowlands to the West, and the glittering faded buildings to the North and East. I thought my last night at home would be a raucous celebration of this epic transition. But there was nothing. Only the late August breeze whistling over the canopy blowing through my hair, the setting sun, and the people starting their cars, some with their lights on, moving silently across the highway.
As it was, chance and hazard brought me to the edge of the prairie with a head full of doubt and a trunk full of junk. Living with the football players not only established that I was small for my age, but also that I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. That year proved the college stereotype correct; drunken parties, sleepless nights, dumb decisions, and slow recoveries. Though I thought it was fun at first, it got old quickly, and by Christmas, I was desperate for a more meaningful experience.
School has taught me a tremendous amount of both useful and useless knowledge. For example, it taught me that despite having the freedom to drink on a school night and stay up late, it is not a good idea to do so when you have an 8:00 am the next day. I have learned about physics, metaphysics, biology, theology, and poetry, amongst other things. But my greatest and most profound experiences have not occurred in the classroom nor have they occurred out with friends roaming the city streets. They have occurred during my summer experiences here on campus.
Summertime at school moves slower and more quietly in the absence of loud drunkenness, cafeteria food, homework, roommates, classes, and other commitments. In the stillness, my spirituality is heightened, and I feel God more present in all things. I feel it when I reflect quietly by a campfire, or sit under a powerful Oak tree, or walk the outline of a wintery ridge at sunrise, or through a still arboretum's autumn midnight. St. Benedict wrote that "the disciple's part is to be silent and listen." I was excited to get away from the small-town bustle and gossip to spend some alone and actually listen.
It started with the frustration of not getting my dream internship one summer. But, as life's unpredictability had it, I landed a job with the Saint John's Pottery Studio. I didn't know much about the studio, but the job description called for manual labor. I loved the idea of spending my summer chopping wood, digging holes, and milling lumber as a way to get away from the stress of school. I believe that the academic school year is for mental toughening, but the summers are about physical labor, working hard with your hands, and rejoicing in the results. The Rule says that "idleness is the enemy of the soul," and I can't imagine a more soul-enriching experience than waking up in the early morning sun before the heat and humidity weigh a body down, and chop wood for a few hours. But I didn't just do physical labor at the studio; I gradually learned there was a deeper, richer experience to be had there. Sitting by the tea table sharing tea in community, I learned about the studio's philosophy, its commitment to generational learning, community involvement, to the richness of life, and the need to ground our lives in the earth that sustains us.
The following summer, carrying the wonderful experience of the studio with me, I decided to follow my own passion and pursuit of God through labor and art through another on-campus job: the Abbey Woodworking Shop. I was inspired by the sepia toned pictures of monks proudly standing by their circle saws and planers. Most of my days in class are spent in the Quad, and I would look up at the exposed wooden beams which hold the floors together, and think about the monks who built such an impressive structure. As opposed to the loose, fluid days at the pottery studio, days at the woodshop were rigid, precise, and detailed. As opposed to clay, a material whose morphology is often part of a piece's beauty and evolves with both the potter and the kiln, if a piece of wood is not cut precisely at the correct length, width, and height, it will not work.
When I am in the shop with the distinct wood smell in the air, I think of autumn days in the arboretum reading beneath the shade of a thick white oak; I think about the stories that each tree has and the hands which have touched it as it has been felled, milled, dried, planed, jointed, ripped, glued, pressed, sanded, and eventually assembled the wood. And even though woodworking is about square angles and preciseness, I sense life's circularity in the process as this living material is transformed into a functional object. When I am finished with a project, I can once again read and feel the oak tree close to my skin, like a primal need for a natural embrace.
Those summers are truly what have made my experience here at school worthwhile. I came to this school with no expectations or knowledge of what I was getting myself into. I expected college to be a shuffle of parties and exams, but what I have experienced here has transcended and eclipsed those expectations. I have had the pleasure to know monks, each with a unique story and the greatest humility, with their heads bowed and eyes towards the ground, radiating peace. I never thought that the little Rule of St. Benedict book each freshman received his first day at school would be so elemental in my character development. Its ideals of community, silence, work, and meditation have provided a rhythm to my lifestyle, just like chopping wood or running the planer give my life a rhythmic balance. Life's unpredictability led me here for some reason and it has been a beautifully unexpected experience. It has given me a deep appreciation of the natural world, a strong sense of community, and a little paperback book that will continue to influence my life for years to come.

Earls Road airs CSG opposition
A West Gippsland community has become the fourth in Victoria to declare its opposition to the coal seam gas (CSG) industry.
The Earls Road Landcare group surveyed the 95 residents of Earls Road, Yarragon South Road and Womersleys Road in Yarragon South about the CSG industry.
The area is covered by a mining exploration licence but cannot be fracked until the State Government's ban on the mining technique ends in July 2015.
A member of the Landcare group, Ken Savage, says residents are still worried.
"We also need to start thinking about the long-term, the value of our agriculture and also tourism in this area, they're long-term propositions, CSG is only here for a short while," he said.

Google has agreed to buy solar-powered drone maker Titan Aerospace for an undisclosed sum, beating Facebook who was also interested in the acquisition.
Google will acquire the 20 person team, based out of New Mexico and headed by former Symantec CEO Vern Raburn. This comes a few weeks after Facebook bought U.K.-based solar-powered drone startup Ascenta for $20 million.
Google said the Titan team will work with closely with Google's Project Loon, which will send giant air balloons into the sky to transmit Internet signals to areas of the world that are not online.
The team could ask work with Makani, another project of Google's that will attempt to develop airborne wind turbines that will produce energy more efficiently.
"It's still early days, but atmospheric satellites could help bring internet access to millions of people, and help solve other problems, including disaster relief and environmental damage like deforestation," a Google spokesman said in a statement.
Titan unveiled its drones last year, which are similar to low-orbit satellites and can provide services, such as weather monitoring, disaster recovery, Earth imaging, or communications. The company say that its drones can deliver Internet speeds up to 1 GB per second, using speciality communications equipment.
As the developing world increases its need for better Internet connectivity, both Facebook and Google are racing to be the first to provide services to areas largely cut off from such access.

New top US diplomat to Libya a Maine resident
Laurence Pope lives in Portland
The new top U.S. diplomat for Libya is a Maine resident and Bowdoin College graduate.
Laurence Pope has arrived in the country to assume temporary control of the embassy in Tripoli after last month's deadly attack on the consulate in Benghazi that killed the ambassador and three other Americans.
The State Department said Thursday that Pope, an Arabic-speaking 31-year foreign service officer who retired in 2000, will serve as the charge d'affaires pending confirmation of the person who will be nominated to succeed Ambassador Chris Stevens, who died in the Sept. 11 attack.
The department said Pope, a former ambassador to Chad and counter-terrorism director, would continue the work that Stevens had been doing.
U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree says Pope lives in Portland.

More details were released this week about the Fall launch of FIFA 13, thanks to website Digital Spy.
Will FIFA 13 feature an annual roster update as some EA Sports games tend to be or will this be a must have? While the answer remains unclear, here are 5 features that will be included in FIFA 13:
- First Touch Control will see incoming balls more difficult to control, with the strength, speed, player skill and ball height all influencing how the ball is received and dealt with.
- Offensive AI is set to receive an overhaul, with smarter strikers that move with the offside line and that will choose better running routes when off the ball.
- A new free kick system will enable gamers to feint shots, which can be followed by a pass to a player coming off the wall, while up to three players can gather round the ball and "make fun of the opponent's defense and goalie".
- Defensive options on free kicks are also improved, allowing more players to be directed into the wall or out to block the ball.
- Complete Dribble will be offered. While few details were provided, you will no longer be able to change direction and begin dribbling as with FIFA 12.
And let's hope that the Xbox 360 version has Kinect capabilities!
What do you think about the planned enhancements? What's on your FIFA 13 wishlist? What do you think about the FIFA 13 screenshots shown above? Share your opinions in the comments section below.

Why you shouldn't buy this car: What the hell does a corporate lion like you need with a car that has to be driven? Mercedes-Benz's new 7G-TRONIC promises to shift circles around the Quattroporte's DuoSelect robotic manual — making the new S-Class much more palatable for sitting in Los Angeles traffic and yelling, "Make it happen, or I'll carve your ass into sashimi," into a cellphone headset. Plus, for the average CEO, the Quattroporte is far, far too stylish — just imagine him arriving at the club with a silk Gucci scarf tucked into his Bill Blass Premium golf shirt. And, dare we say it, the new Maseratis' reliability is still unproven.
Why you should buy this car: You don't need to work (anymore), your wife looks like Benedetta Massola, you hate golf, you'd have no problem ordering Campari at a South Texas roadhouse, you love to drive, and you hear the music of the spheres in the roar of a high-compression V8.

Angela Gutchess wins Wellington Lottery
Assistant Professor of Psychology Angela Gutchess won this year's Wellington Lottery Prize of $2,000 at the final faculty meeting of the semester. Now all she has to do is figure out how to spend it.
The Wellington Prize was created 20 years ago by an anonymous donor, according to a university donor relations officer, "to enliven the spirits and delight the senses of assistant professors."
The donor made three stipulations: The lottery must be conducted publicly before the assembled faculty at the academic year's last faculty meeting; the prize money may not be used for purposes of normal scholarly advancement and the winner is obligated to present an accurate account of how he or she made use of the funds over the summer at the first faculty meeting following use of the bequest.
Winners are encouraged to use their imagination and do something out of the ordinary that they may have dreamed of but dismissed as irrelevant to their immediate and pressing career concerns.
"So the pressure is on," Gutchess said shortly after learning her name had been drawn. "People have come up with really creative things" in the past.
But the prize also may help relieve other pressures.
"This is good timing," said Gutchess, who has been at Brandeis for six years. "My tenure packet is due as soon as possible, and I've been particularly stressed out the past few weeks."

U.S. EPA Requires AllenCo to Pay Penalty for Federal Violations
Release Date: 07/30/2014
Contact Information: Nahal Mogharabi, 213-244-1815, email@example.com
LOS ANGELES— Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reached a settlement with AllenCo Energy, Inc., requiring the company to pay $99,000 for violations of federal environmental laws. The penalty is in addition to the ongoing work identified in an April 2014 consent agreement with EPA.
EPA's November 2013 inspection, prompted by community complaints regarding emissions coming from the facility, found that AllenCo was in violation of the "General Duty Clause" of the Clean Air Act because it failed to maintain a safe facility by not taking steps necessary to prevent accidental releases of hazardous substances. EPA also found that AllenCo was in violation of the Clean Water Act, which requires onshore oil production facilities that may discharge oils into waterways to prepare and implement a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan. In addition, EPA's investigation found that AllenCo failed to submit chemical inventory forms for the hazardous substances stored at the facility as required by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.
AllenCo is a small oil production facility located in a residential neighborhood of South Los Angeles, approximately two miles from the University of Southern California. The facility voluntarily shut down operations in late November 2013. As part of a consent agreement with EPA in April 2014, AllenCo will continue to make changes and improvements at the facility and must certify with the Agency that the work is completed at least 15 days prior to re-opening the facility. In addition to today's penalty, AllenCo estimates that it will spend approximately $700,000 for improvements at the facility, which will include the actions required by EPA's order. Details of the April 2014 consent agreement can be found at: https://www.epa.gov/region9/waste/enforcement/inspections/
The SPCC portion of the settlement is subject to a 30-day comment period and final agency approval. The 30-day public comment period ends on August 28, 2014. The penalty order and information on how to provide comments on the SPCC portion of the settlement can be found at: https://www.epa.gov/region9/enforcement/pubnotices/pubnotice-allenco.html.

(2002; 2 pages)
In 1975 the World Health Assembly introduced the concepts of "essential drugs" and "national drug policy", and they quickly became part of the global public health vocabulary. The Health Assembly was building on precedents set in Scandinavia, North America and some pioneering developing countries, such as Papua New Guinea, Peru, Sri Lanka, and the United Republic of Tanzania, in the hope that they would provide a way to begin closing the huge gap between those who were benefiing from the pharmaceutical harvest of the mid-1900s and those who were not. In October 1977,WHOproduced the first Model List of Essential Drugs and in 1978 the Declaration of Alma-Ata identified "provision of essential drugs" as one of the eight elements of primary health care. According to the current WHO Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines, "Essential medicines are those that satisfy the priority health needs of the population. They are selected with due regard to disease prevalence, evidence of efficacy and safety, and comparative cost-effectiveness. Essential medicines are intended to be available within the context of functioning health systems at all times in adequate amounts, in the appropriate dosage forms, with assured quality, and at a price the individual and the community can afford. The implementation of the concept of essential medicines is intended to be flexible and adaptable to many different situations; exactly which medicines are regarded as essential remains a national responsibility." Thanks partly to the recognition and application of these principles, the situation has changed enormously since 1977...

Oh noes the servers are still down!
My daily routine is all turned upside down. How sad. So instead of catching up on paperwork, I'm going to write random stuff in here because I haven't prepared a proper entry.
On blogging: Surprisingly, I get a fair amount of hits. I don't go public with this blog because I want blogging to be something fun and laid back. I want the freedom to post what I want, be it quality or crap, and I don't want to worry about keeping up. I am still happy though when the odd person finds me on a search engine and clicks on a few posts. Sometimes, they're actually looking for something WoW related. Most of the time they're looking for something else… Can you guess what it is? …… Spoons. Giant spoons. I must get 5-6 hits a day from people looking for giant spoons. Sometimes with a cherry on top. All this time I thought I was a weird for having a thing for giant spoons. But apparently not. Apparently it's one of those things everyone has but doesn't talk about. Kind of like playing WoW.
On the new computor: It's nice! It's very nice! 25 man raids are so easy when you're running on more than 3 fps! I have some problems with keyboard insensitivity (its so insensitive, no emotions at all!) where I have to pound on the keys to type. Hopefully that will clear up with use. Otherwise its all good.
On WoW: Our 10 man team beat Mimiron for the first time yesterday! Yay! Yes, welcome to 3 months ago you all say, but for my guild, that's a big deal. 2 hour raids don't allow for much time to learn fights and since most of our good raiders save their offnights for their families, 10 man runs are saved for special occasions. But of course, we didn't take a picture and I forgot to get a shot for my blog. We took two swings at Vezax (or as we call him in our epic maturity, General Vagina), but the mana regen issues caught me with my pants down. Not a straightforward fight for a paladin tank! I extended the lockout and did some research… Should I manage to convince 9 dear guildies to spare a night for gaming I think Vagina, I mean Vexaz, will be ours by next week.
Oh my, servers still aren't up. Evenings seem so much longer without WoW. I really need to find a backup hobby.Explore posts in the same categories: Paperwork

I have noticed over the past month or so I have been getting a little burned out with working on my tiny house. I think it really has been a combination of my time at work skyrocketing, a series of big set backs and less than favorable weather. Additionally I had been asked to bring my house to a particular event, which put a deadline on things for me, so it became more of a job, not something that I was enjoying.
I have had some big set backs. The biggest being my electrician was injured pretty seriously on another worksite the day before he was going to do my house. He will be fine, thank goodness, but it meant I had to restart the process of getting quotes and scheduling work, which set me back about 3 weeks.
Enjoyment of the building process was one of the things that I wanted to make sure was part of building my house. I wanted to enjoy the journey, to enjoy the realization of my dream, I wanted to take my time and have great posts for you all. So this week I made the decision to decline bringing my house to that event, which on one had I was disappointed about, on the other, and more importantly, I felt like I could now enjoy the process of building again. I felt a sense of relief when I made the decision and I think it was the right one to make.
So the moral of the story here is when you build your tiny house, or pursue any of your goals in life, make sure that you enjoy the journey, because it is often better than the destination. In the near future I will be doing some more house update posts, but here is a photo I took this past weekend.

host = Net::Telnet::new( "Host" => "localhost", # default: "localhost" "Port" => 23, # default: 23 "Binmode" => false, # default: false "Output_log" => "output_log", # default: nil (no output) "Dump_log" => "dump_log", # default: nil (no output) "Prompt" => /[$%#>] \z/n, # default: /[$%#>] \z/n "Telnetmode" => true, # default: true "Timeout" => 10, # default: 10 # if ignore timeout then set "Timeout" to false. "Waittime" => 0, # default: 0 "Proxy" => proxy # default: nil # proxy is Net::Telnet or IO object )
The options have the following meanings:
the hostname or IP address of the host to connect to, as a String. Defaults to "localhost".
the port to connect to. Defaults to 23.
if false (the default), newline substitution is performed. Outgoing LF is converted to CRLF, and incoming CRLF is converted to LF. If true, this substitution is not performed. This value can also be set with the #binmode() method. The outgoing conversion only applies to the #puts() and #print() methods, not the #write() method. The precise nature of the newline conversion is also affected by the telnet options SGA and BIN.
the name of the file to write connection status messages and all received traffic to. In the case of a proper Telnet session, this will include the client input as echoed by the host; otherwise, it only includes server responses. Output is appended verbatim to this file. By default, no output log is kept.
as for Output_log, except that output is written in hexdump format (16 bytes per line as hex pairs, followed by their printable equivalent), with connection status messages preceded by '#', sent traffic preceded by '>', and received traffic preceded by '<'. By default, not dump log is kept.
a regular expression matching the host's command-line prompt sequence. This is needed by the Telnet class to determine when the output from a command has finished and the host is ready to receive a new command. By default, this regular expression is /[$%#>] z/n.
a boolean value, true by default. In telnet mode, traffic received from the host is parsed for special command sequences, and these sequences are escaped in outgoing traffic sent using #puts() or #print() (but not #write()). If you are using the Net::Telnet object to connect to a non-telnet service (such as SMTP or POP), this should be set to "false" to prevent undesired data corruption. This value can also be set by the #telnetmode() method.
the number of seconds to wait before timing out both the initial attempt to connect to host (in this constructor), which raises a Net::OpenTimeout, and all attempts to read data from the host, which raises a Net::ReadTimeout (in #waitfor(), #cmd(), and #login()). The default value is 10 seconds. You can disable the timeout by setting this value to false. In this case, the connect attempt will eventually timeout on the underlying connect(2) socket call with an Errno::ETIMEDOUT error (but generally only after a few minutes), but other attempts to read data from the host will hang indefinitely if no data is forthcoming.
the amount of time to wait after seeing what looks like a prompt (that is, received data that matches the Prompt option regular expression) to see if more data arrives. If more data does arrive in this time, Net::Telnet assumes that what it saw was not really a prompt. This is to try to avoid false matches, but it can also lead to missing real prompts (if, for instance, a background process writes to the terminal soon after the prompt is displayed). By default, set to 0, meaning not to wait for more data.
a proxy object to used instead of opening a direct connection to the host. Must be either another Net::Telnet object or an IO object. If it is another Net::Telnet object, this instance will use that one's socket for communication. If an IO object, it is used directly for communication. Any other kind of object will cause an error to be raised.

Jan Lisiecki delivers fresh take on Chopin before Colorado Symphony Orchestra
Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 is the kind of piece that invites showing off. The featured instrument receives nearly all the attention while the orchestra lulls around in the background. The ensemble does get a few nice turns, especially in the first movement, but basically it exists to introduce themes that the pianist makes more interesting.
Chopin was a pianist first, an arranger second, and that's the beauty and baggage of this frequently performed concerto. A pianist simply has to embody it wholly and accept responsibility for fulfilling its promise.
The 18-year-old Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki understands this particular job and has his own ideas about how to get it done. Performing the piece with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra Friday night, he resisted all excess — in both his mannerisms and his playing — and turned out a technically sound, emotionally fulfilling performance.
Lisiecki shows tremendous respect for the music. He is clearly focused and true to Chopin's writing. Some players take this opportunity to go to extremes, pounding out the loud sections and turning oh-so-soft for the quieter moments. It's an opportunity for over-the-top acting.

Vampires have returned again to The Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion once again, but are more powerful and stronger than ever. In this game being a vampire can be the most useful thing you could ever hope for, or one of the most painful experiences, depending on how you play. If you play well, you can be well on your way to becoming the most powerful being in Cyrodill, or even Tamriel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Table Of Contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Becoming a vampire - Surviving as a vampire - Advantages of being a vampire - Disadvantages of being a vampire - Vampire Powers - Vampirism Cure - Hints - Known Bugs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Becoming a vampire ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the world of Cyrodill, vampirism is also known as Porphyric Hemophilia. There are many ways you can catch this disease and is very easy. An easy way to become a vampire, the most easiest way is to fight vampires until you infected yourself. Another way to get this disease is from Vicente Valtieri, he is also a vampire and will offer you his gift after completing some duties for him in the Dark Brotherhood quests. Once you have the disease and are sure you want to become a vampire, you must wait three days for the disease to take your body. After three days, when you next go to sleep you will have a dream and find you have become a vampire. Your skin becomes white and your eyes will become red. An easy place to find vampires to fight is a place called Barren Cave east of the imperial palace. It is along to the road to cheydinhal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Surviving as a vampire ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To survive as a vampire, you must do what a vampire does, feed on blood. How strong you are as a vampire, directly relates to how you feed. To feed, you must find a sleeping NPC and activate him or her. It acts like a normal interface but you get an option to feed. When you feed, you will not wake up the NPC, kill them, or give them Porphyric Hemophilia. You can feed on one person as long as you want, as long as no one catches you. However, feeding on people is considered a crime, so make sure no one can see you. People you can easily rob will make perfect candidates as they will be easier to feed on, as feeding is more low risk that pickpocketing a sleeping NPC. Also your "vampirism level" increases every 24 hours as long as you rest or sleep ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Advantages of being a Vampire ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Being a vampire puts you in a catch 22 situation, the longer you go without feeding, the stronger you become, but you become more and more like a monster. There are many different advantages and disadvantages, here we will talk about the advantages. At first you will gain many different bonuses to your attributes. 0-24 hours (first day): +5 Attribute/Skill Bonus, 5% Resist Normal Weapons, HS 24-48 hours (second day): +10 Attribute/Skill Bonus, 10% Resist Normal Weapons, HS, VS 48-72 hours (third day): +15 Attribute/Skill Bonus, 10% Resist Normal Weapons, HS, VS, RoT 72+ hours (fourth day onwards): +20 Attribute/Skill Bonus, 10% Resist Normal Weapons, HS, VS, RoT, EoS Attributes that gain bonus: Strength, Willpower and Speed Skills that gain bonus: Acrobatics, Athletics, Destruction, Hand-to-Hand, Illusion, Mysticism and Sneak You also get Resist Disease 100 % and Resist Paralysis 100 % regardless of your level of vampirism. (submitted by BlackMist) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disadvantages of being a Vampire ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are many disadvantages to being a vampire, and they are listed in this section. Vampires in Oblivion take absolutely no sun damage at all when they are at immediately following a feeding. During this time it is totally safe to fast travel or rest in the sunlight. (submitted by Dan) Without feeding, and as your bonuses increase, your weaknessess as a vampire also increases. When you begin, you will only have a weakness to fire. If you have fed within 24 hours you become safe from the sun. However if you neglect to feed, you'll start burning when ever you walk out into the daylight. Each day you don't feed, increases the damage the sun causes. This means that most of your time will be spent at night, this can be a severe disadvantage to many players. After 96 (four days) hours without feeding you'll noticed your face has changed significantly. You become looking more and more like a vampire, you gain fangs, even more pale skin and your eyes become dark red. This can be a severe disadvantage when talking to other NPCs as everyone will know your dark secret. This can prevent you from bartering and even receiving certain quests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Your new found powers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you never liked talking to other NPCs or walking around in the sun, then you can enjoy your new vampire abilities. These abilities can help you survive living the tough life of a vampire. These abilites are given after a certain amount of days of not feeding. -------------------- Hunters Sight -------------------- Hunter's Sight(HS) - Night Eye for 30 secs on Self, Detect Life 100 ft for 30 secs on Self, 5 Magicka -------------------- Vampire's Seduction -------------------- Vampiric Seduction(VS) - Charm 50 pts for 20 secs on Touch, once per day -------------------- Reign of Terror -------------------- Reign of Terror(RoT) - Silence 20ft for 60 secs, Demoralize up to lvl 6 for 60 secs on Touch, once per day -------------------- Embrace of Shadows -------------------- Embrace of Shadows(EoS) - Night Eye for 90 secs on Self, Invisibility for 180 secs on Self, once per day This can allow you to either bypass a group of people or enemies, or run away from angry mobs with torches and pitchforks. This ability gives you more than enough time to do either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The cure ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So you got tired of running around in the darkness or from people not talking to you? Then this is where you want to be. There is a cure for being a vampire, but not till you've done this short quest. To start off, you must talk to a prist about a "Cure for Vampirism". Or the alternative could be to ask Vicente Valtieri, in the Dark Brotherhood. They tell you to talk to Raminus Polus at the Arcane University. After speaking to Polus, he directs you to Count Janus Jassildor in Skingrad, who also has been searching for a cure. Talk to Hal Liurz to get through to the Count and he'll explain that he wants a cure for his wife, who has also being infected. Your quest journal explains that you must find a woman near the Corbolo River who may be a which andmay know a cure for vampirism. Her house is right next to the river. She gives you a task to find five empty grand soul gems, and she will tell you what she knows. The easiest way to find grand soul gems if you don't already know is to steal from the mages guild, or buy them from the mages guild. Either way, once you have them, talk to the witch who will tell you she can create a cure but has more tasks for you to do. She says she needs: - 6 Garlic Cloves - 2 Bloodgrass shoots - 5 nightshade leaves - Argonian Blood - Ashes of a vampire -The garlic is easy enough, as it is everywhere, an easy place to look would be a farm, or if you need more assistance, at Weynon Priory. Look around in peoples houses, and dinner plates. -Bloodgrass can be easily found in Oblivion, however if you have finished the main quest this may be a bit tricky. Just try to run around old Oblivion Gates and you may find some around on the ground. -Nightshade can be found from nightshade plants, you can find these between Bravil and Skingrad as they seem to grow here. They can also be found in the Arcane University. (submitted by jonny) -TheArgonian blood is also easy, any blood of an Argonian will do, as long as you don't get caught. -The vampire ashes however cannot be from any vampire, you must travel to Red Water slough to seek out Hindaril. Travel through the dungeon, kill the vampire, and collect his dust. ** If you have the Wizard's Tower add on and have finished it you can have access to a garden which is an area with every plant in Oblivion. This is and easy way to get the nightshade as well as other plants. ** Submitted by Malmern When you deliver the ashes to Melisande, ask her about the cure and she'll start cooking the cure up for you. Wait a day and collect your potion, and head back to castle Skingrad. Back at the castle talk to Hal Liurz and tell her you have the cure. You'll be lead to a secret door, to a secret area. You will see the Counts wife, Rona in bed, with the Count and the witch Melisande. Apparently, the witch agreed to revive the Countess long enough for her to drink the cure, which she does. The countess drinks the potion and then talks to her husband, just before dying. Come back after a day and then see Hal Liurz again, when you see the count, he'll give you some gold, and you can turn back into a normal human being. However, you'll lose all your abilites and resistances, would it really be worth it? Whether you choose to cure yourself or not, the quest is over, and you'll have the ability to change back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hints ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Always know what the times is. As a vampire, you never want to be caught in the sun, it'll harm you and you could die before you get to a safe place inside. Also fast travelling is dangerous as you may arrive in daylight and will have to quickly scramble for a place to hide for the day. - Some quests are only avaliable at day time as many characters go to sleep then, and the same applies for stores. If you plan or trading, or need to speak to someone, try to hideout somewhere close to minimise your time in the sun. - Don't neglect your new powers, if you're not using them then you should ask yourself, "Why am I playing as a vampire again?". These abilites can be very useful, so don't try and spare them. Not feeding comes at a price, so you might as well use it. - Remember, feeding puts you back at level one, if you enjoy your new skills, abilites and attributes, don't feed as often. - Remember your weak to fire now, don't hang around if someone is throwing fireballs at you, try and silence them with your new abilites. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Known Bugs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BloodGrass Bug: Many people have been reporting a bug where Melisanda will not take BloodGrass. It seems it is linked to having completed the main story. Everyone whom I asked that was having the bug had completed the main storyline and loading a save from before they finished solved the problem. There is a workaround for those of you on PC. Open up console and type "set ms40.bloodgrassvar to 2". I do not have the game on PC so I cannot test this, but rumor has it this works. A prevention for this is to give the witch the Vampire ashes first. (submitted by pokerjp) Hindaril's Cave: Some people have been E-Mailing me saying they cannot find Hindaril's cave. Make sure a Cure for Vampirism is your active quest, and it should point you in the right direction. If not, the name of the cave is called Redwater Slough. Hopefully you can find it. Melisandra in Hiding: After you gather your ingredients and give them to Melisandra, she tells you to come back in 24 hours. Some people are having the problem where they return, only to find her locked in her basement, which opens only with a key. I did not have this problem, but I have a solution that may work. Technically, you are trespassing inside her house, which pisses her off. Loiter a bit; eventually she should come out to attack you. Be prepared, she will summon all kinds of fun beasts for you. Ask her to yield, then talk care of the creatures. You should be good to go now. Returning to the Count: Another bug I have had people report is that when going to visit The Count, after securing the cure, the Argonian will not take you to him. I do not know the cause of this. If you are on PC, there is a way around it, similar to the BloodGrass bug. Open up console and type " player.coc SkingradCastleChamberOfTheLost". This will bring you inside the Counts chamber. Talk to the count to get more information. Once you are finished, type "movetoqt" which will advance you to the next part of the quest (you need to do this to leave the counts chamber). The Cure quest must be your active quest for this to work ."

Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Paul Hindemith
A ballet with unceasing appeal, The Four Temperaments references the medieval concept of psychological humors through its classically grounded but definitively modern movement.
The score for this ballet was commissioned by George Balanchine from Paul Hindemith in 1940. The ballet, together with Ravel's opera L'Enfant et les Sortilèges, constituted the opening program of Ballet Society (the direct predecessor of the New York City Ballet) on November 20, 1946. In Complete Stories of the Great Ballets, Balanchine wrote of the ballet that it "is an expression in dance and music of the ancient notion that the human organism is made up of four different humors, or temperaments. Each one of us possesses these four humors, but in different degrees, and it is from the dominance of one of them that the four physical and psychological types — melancholic, sanguinic, phlegmatic, and choleric — were derived …. Although the score is based on this idea of the four temperaments, neither the music nor the ballet itself makes specific or literal interpretation of the idea. An understanding of the Greek and medieval notion of the temperaments was merely the point of departure for both composer and choreographer."
An accomplished pianist, Balanchine commissioned the score because he wanted a short work he could play at home with friends during his evening musicales. It was completed in 1940 and had its first public performance at a 1944 concert with Lukas Foss as the pianist.

Dating While Poet #4: First Day of Spring
Much like myself, this post isn't really going anywhere but contains valuable information. You will likely find it of more usefulness than my other posts in the "Dating While Poet" series, because this one isn't about me actually going on a date and therefore offers something beyond examples of what not to do that, although amusing, fail to be instructive because, unless you're me, you already knew not to do those things anyway. (And if you are me, Chris, stop reading your own blog and do something constructive with your day.) As I've said, this post isn't about me going on a date. It does, however, involve a beautiful woman asking for my number. Unfortunately, this was only so she could enter it into the computer at the bookstore and call me when the book I'd ordered arrived. In all fairness, I would like quickly to clarify that this was a book I'd already planned on buying when I walked into the bookstore, and that I wasn't just ordering it because the girl at the Information desk was pretty. Although, in further fairness, I was just ordering it because the author of the book is pretty. I'm going to change the subject now.
It's the first day of Spring and I woke up in a good mood, knowing perfectly well that you're only supposed to capitalize the name of a season if it's a poem and you're addressing it, but not caring at all. That was how good I felt. Like with most people, when I find myself in a good mood I want to make it even better by doing something crazy that I don't normally do. Unlike with most people, going outside in the daytime for a reason besides work counts for me as one of those things. I decided to walk to a bookstore and purchase comedienne Kristen Schaal's The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex, which I've been meaning to buy because it has funny stuff on the inside and a picture of Kristen Schaal in her underwear on the cover. It's been out for a year and a half, and I would have bought it sooner, but I had to wait until I was having a really good day so the funniness of the book wouldn't be negated by my depression over the fact that I'm never going to marry Kristen Schaal, despite the fact that I'm an adventurous yet soulful lover and spell her name right more than half of the time.
I felt so unstoppable that instead of walking all the way up to the Barnes & Noble in Union Square, I decided to throw caution to Zephyrus and go to the bookstore three blocks from my apartment that I usually avoid because everyone who hangs out there is so much cooler than me. Yes, I walked right into that cool bookstore with my head held high, and I kept it that way. There was a woman drinking coffee while wearing the biggest pair of sunglasses I've ever seen, and I didn't start crying even a little. It was like there was some kind of cool forcefield around me, which I attributed to the fact that I was wearing my pants with the dried paint on them. I got them at Salvation Army, so there was already paint on them when I bought them, rather than the paint being on them because I was actually painting something myself, but I had spent the walk to the bookstore mentally preparing to lie about that if anyone asked.
The logical guess was that the book would be in the Humor section, except for the fact that it's probably actually funny and no books in the Humor section of a bookstore are ever actually even a little bit funny. It wasn't in the Sexuality section either, so I went over to the Information desk to ask. I did notice on my way over that the woman sitting behind the Information desk was gorgeous, but I made up my mind that this was definitely not going to ruin my day and force me to go home and write something about it. If you're wondering why a professional writer would consider a day ruined if it results in him doing his job, don't worry, I'm seeing my therapist tomorrow and I'm going to open with that.
When I say that the woman behind the information desk was gorgeous, I'm not exaggerating for effect. She was probably a model. Normally that's just an expression, but when you're talking about a startlingly tall and skinny woman who's dressed uncommonly stylishly while working a part-time job at a trendy store in SoHo, it's not. I mean she was literally almost certainly a model. And if that usage of literally made sense to you despite the fact that there's no way for someone to figuratively almost certainly be a model, shame on you, you're what's wrong with America.
I'm not going to describe the woman beyond stating the fact that she was gorgeous, because if somehow she ends up reading this, the odds that she would be flattered are infinitesimal compared to the odds that I would get banned from that bookstore. So if you're her, and you are reading this, don't worry, I'm talking about a different woman in a different bookstore in the same neighborhood that I ordered the same book from on the first day of Spr— fuck.
The problem with being in a good mood is, it doesn't take much to screw it up. That's why in general I advise strongly against it. The literal model explained that they were out of The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex but that she could order it for me and it would arrive tomorrow, and I managed to get through the conversation and give her my information to enter into her special model computer that probably does weird secret model stuff that normal computers don't do without looking at the floor and mumbling so quietly that she had to ask me everything twice. I did somehow manage to forget what I normally do with my arms when I'm standing still, but that's to be expected. It won't ever happen again, though, because this time I made a mental note to notice what I do with my arms the next time I'm talking to an ugly girl and remember. So look out, pretty girls, because the next time you have a 30-second conversation with this guy, you're not even going to believe how natural his arm movements seem.
Anyway, remember that useful information I promised you at the beginning? Here it is. Obviously, I wanted to keep talking to this woman. Also obviously, I couldn't think of a plausible reason to do so and just left. And because of this, I finally figured out the correct answer to the age-old question of whether beautiful women like jerks. The answer is that technically they don't, but it comes to the same thing. And here's why.
Now, the reason you always hear people say that beautiful women like jerks is because beautiful women keep ending up with jerks, so you can't really blame people for concluding this. But in reality, concluding that beautiful women are especially attracted to jerks is like concluding that lightning is especially attracted to golfers. It's true that golfers are the ones who always end up getting hit by lightning, but there's no inherent quality golfers possess that causes this. Lightning is equally attracted to all human beings, because our bodies are all mostly water and lightning is attracted to water. And even though, all things considered, it's unlikely that you're going to be struck by lightning no matter where you are, being on a golf course makes it considerably more likely than being anywhere else. And golfers are exponentially more likely than non-golfers to be on a golf course.
In other words, in order for me to end up dating this woman, I would have had to keep talking to her. It's unlikely that I would have ended up dating her even if I had kept talking to her, of course—but it's impossible that I would have ended up dating her if I didn't, and unlikely outranks impossible. Since I had no valid reason to keep talking to her other than that I found her attractive, I would have had to make up some phony bullshit reason to keep talking to her on the spot. And in order to be capable of doing that, I would have had to believe at least one of the following two things:
A) She is so stupid she's not going to figure out that my reason for continuing to talk to her is a phony bullshit one, or
B) I am so awesome she's not going to care that my reason for continuing to talk to her is a phony bullshit one.
And in order to believe either of those things, I would have to be a jerk. Remember, I'm not saying I would have to be a jerk to believe that anyone would be interested in me. I would have no trouble believing that a woman who's read my poetry book or sat through one of my brilliant lectures on Frankenstein would want to date me. To be perfectly honest, I would think she was crazy if she didn't. But here, we're talking about a woman I talked to for half a minute and who knew absolutely nothing about me. And for that matter, I knew absolutely nothing about her. So in order for either of criteria A and B to be met, I would have to be walking around in a constant state of thinking either that all women are stupid or that all women find me awesome based on absolutely nothing. And walking around in a constant state of believing either of those things is the definition of a jerk.
So, in conclusion, this is why all jerks play golf. No wait, that's not it. But hey, isn't it weird how that's also true?

RELIGST 174: Religious Existentialism-Kierkegaard
Existentialism is often understood to be a secular or anti-religious philosophy of life, a substitute for Christian ethics in a post-theistic world come of age. Yet this twentieth-century philosophical movement owes many of its concerns and much of its vocabulary to the hyper-Protestant Danish thinker Soren Kierkegaard, and much of the best Christian and Jewish thought in the 20th-century (Bultmann, Buber, Tillich) adopted existentialism as the ¿best philosophy¿ for making sense of these traditions in a secular age. This course will examine the origins of existentialist thought in the writings of Kierkegaard and its appropriation by a handful of influential 20th- century religious thinkers.

I am sorry.
I am sorry for two reasons. The first is because I have never shared this with you before and the second is because you are going to love these so much you will become addicted and want them all the time. At least that is what happened to me when I first tried them as a child. I associate them with Christmas because that is when my mom used to make them and so I continue the tradition. I like to give them as gifts and people love them. They are super easy to make and freeze exceptionally well. I will even admit that they taste great straight out of the freezer.
recipe slightly adapted from allrecipes.com
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
1teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups confectioners' sugar
4 cups semisweet chocolate
In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth. Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) C.J. Harris scored 16 points to help Wake Forest hold off Virginia 55-52 on Wednesday night.
Travis McKie added 14 points for the Demon Deacons (8-6, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who led by 14 points midway through the second half before holding off a rally by the Cavaliers in the final 6 minutes. Wake Forest won despite shooting just 26 percent (5 of 19) after halftime and going the final 10 minutes without a field goal.
Instead, the Demon Deacons clung to their lead by knocking down just enough free throws to stay ahead, the last coming when Harris hit two with 5.3 seconds left for what turned out to be the final margin.
The Cavaliers (11-4, 1-1) had one more chance, but Jontel Evans threw the ball away on the wing and Joe Harris couldn't collect the ball in time for a desperation 3-point heave before the horn sounded.
