Despite high meal costs, Bethel food prices comparatively low
by Anita Baerg
Joe Student walks into
the Bethel cafeteria, looks
at the prices and groans.
"How can they charge
$1.75 for one piece of •
baked chicken?" he asks.
Yet Bethel students pay
less per semester for their
food service than students
attending either Macales-ter
College or the College
of St. Thomas.
"We try to keep them
(costs) as low as possible
and still not lose money,"
said Wayne Erickson,
manager of Bethel's Food
Service. Food prices are
checked regularly "to see
that they are in line," Erick-son
Bethel students living
on campus use the Food
Service meal plan and pay
$375 for the first semester
and $350 for second semes-ter.
There is no charge for
interim if a student at-tends
both fall and spring
terms. Students at St.
Thomas pay $437.50 for
one semester, and students
attending Macalester are
charged $470 for one semes-ter
and half of interim.
Erickson said Bethel at-tempts
to set food prices
as low as possible while
still making enough profit
to cover costs. "We try to
find a price that is in line
with normal prices," said
Erickson, "and we try to
maintain that price through-out
the school year."
Prices for fresh fruits,
chips and other ready-made
foods sold in the
cafeteria and coffee shop
usually have set mark-up
prices and Food Service
does not make much profit
over the initial cost.
However, food such as
meats, potatoes, vege-tables
and other raw food
products are marked up
two and a half to three
times the original cost.
The mark-up covers costs
such as electricity, staff
and employee salaries
telephone and many other
"We are operating a bus-iness
just like anyone
else," said Erickson. The
Food Service has the same
over-head and expenses
as any cafeteria business
or restaurant, he said, and
must buy an operating li-cense
just like any other
food business.
Fobd Service is budget-ed
$800,000 this year for
purchasing and operation
expenses in the cafeteria,
coffee shop and for special
banquets. "The size of the
budget doesn2t mean
much," said Erickson, "but
instead is determined by
the income from food
sales." Last year Food Ser-vice
lost money due to
inflation and other factors,
Erickson said.
Any profit made on food
sales would go into the

Celebrate on Thanksgiving
Clarion staff gives thanks
Thanksgiving is one holiday rarely written about.
Somehow it does not evoke particularly romantic
images that lend themselves to writing. Those who do
write about Thanksgiving often respond with some
cynicism about the celebration and/or its modern
intent. After all, what can be said about a turkey dinner
steaming on the dining room table except that many
people cannot afford it?
Hunger is a real problem. But the point of Thanksgiv-ing
is not food. The point is celebration. Food is just one
manifestation of celebration and thanksgiving. There
are other ways of celebrating, however. Whatever the
means, Thanksgiving should be celebrated in a way
that is appropriate and meaningful to the individual:
not to eat for eating's sake or even to fast to try to make
a point; both are self-indulgent.
The Clarion expresses thanks in two ways. The first
is on a quiet, personal level. The second is in print. The
Clarion is thankful for the right to free press. It is
thankful for a supportive administrative board and
readership. It is thankful that people are willing to help
as editors, writers, sources, artists, photographers,
advisors and more. It is thankful that it is given and
able to raise the money necessary for a weekly produc-tion.
It is thankful for a lack of censorship. It is thankful
for criticism. It is thankful for responsibility. But above
all the Clarion is glad it has God to give it an over-arching
structure. letters Imh

Dear Editor:
"Oppression and the
Lifestyle Statement":
I am writing about the
lifestyle statement (LS)
again and I would almost
rather write about a dead
horse, if I could, but I can't
at this time so I won't.
Something is wrong when
rules and regulations, such
as the LS, become oppres-sive
to certain people.
What do I mean by oppres-sive?
For instance, when
Gnurd Bonk came to Beth-el
he had to testify to a
this was just an attitude
and Gnurd had no real
reason to feel cautious in
his unbelief and doubt.
Perhaps there were people
who really wanted to help.
And perhaps Gnurd may
have sensed this concern
but such optimism was
guarded, not free and un-oppressed.
Or what about, for in-stance,
one Beaver Cleaver
who had some bad habits
such as drinking to excess
that were destroying the
faith that he wanted, he
knew he probably could
not lick those habits im-mediately
and he desired
Christian guidance while
in college to help him with
his problems.
Well, when the Beaver
reads the LS it essentially
states, "Either don't drink
or don't come, we don't
want you Beaver Cleaver."
As such, the LS does not
advertise a desire to help
the Beaver and his spirit-ual
problems and needs
when in fact such a desire
may exist.
Regardless, the Beaver
lies, saying that he won't
drink, knowing good and
well he will likely still
succumb to these habits
while hoping to clandes-tinely
obtain counseling.
You may say, "Well gee
Beav', you don't need to be
clandestine, you can be
honest because we love
by Debbie Sayler
Claiming the job had no
job description Campus
Coordinator Lori Droogsma
recommended a redefini-you,
Beaver." I would say
you are probably right due
to the following:
In both Gnurd's and the
Beaver's cases the oppres-sive
attitude of unopen-ness
portrayed was per-haps
not necessary be-cause
help and concern is
available at Bethel for
those who want it. For
those who doubt, as Gnurd
did, Christian professors
(I think most would agree)
honestly desire and even
crave in some cases" to
share what it means to be
a Christian, and so do
many students. Counsel-ing
programs are availa-ble
to those with lifestyle
"problems," and students
are given periods of grace
to improve.
So why advertise, as the
LS does, that such help
does not exist when in fact
it does? The idealist would
perhaps propose that we
should scrap the rules and
the regulations, saying in
effect, "Let's not be legalis-tic
about a very personal
and subjective thing one's
Christianity." On the other
hand, the administration
may represent the view
that those rules are prag-matically
necessary; it
feels it is necessary to turn
away the weary and the
down-trodden, i.e., prob-lem
drinkers and the faith-less.
I tend to agree in princi-tion
of the Campus Coordi-nators
jobs in her special
report on the Campus Coor-dinators'
Office to the Stu-dent
Senate, Monday, Oct.
ple with the idealistic
standpoinl which empha-sizes
individual choice,
but admit that perhaps its
measures are initially too
drastic. Perhaps such mea-sure
takes the second step
of change before the first
one is taken.
Perhaps an amendment
should be made to the life-style
statement whereby
its standards for lifestyle
and Christian testimony
are retained; however, an
asterisk would appear at
the end of the statement
and the corresponding foot-note
would say that such
standards for certain in-dividuals
are conditional,
whereby individual consi-deration
will be gladly
given. Perhaps this is a
less drastic first step to-wards
considering individ-ual
differences than the
idealistic abolition of all
rules and standards.
You may argue that
such is a paradox, that
you cannot have both. To
this I would respond, "Yes,
but our Christian faith is
often paradoxical, requir-ing
pure and beautiful
faith. So too, perhaps,
faith is required to believe
that in acquiescing from
the hardline rules of the
LS we can create a more
Christ-like environment at

Cary Klaudt, a second cousin of mine, stopped by to
visit me in my plush Clarion office the other day.
Though he is now working for the advertising division
of Master Charge, Incorp., he has kept in touch with
happenings at Bethel since graduating last spring.
"Kraig, your articles are getting too serious. If people
want preaching they'll go hear Pastor Glenn in chapel.
(It had been a while since Cary was at chapel) You need
to uncover some hot, scandalous stories instead," -he
In an indignant fit of rage I threw my notebook at him
and snarled, "Here, you try to find something to write
about if you think it's so easy."
A few hours later Cary returned to my desk with a
grin and a notebook full of spicy stories on campus. The
following are printed with Cary's permission:
Many are unaware of the recent lifestyle crackdown
on campus. An outside agency has been brought in to
enforce the most overlooked, disregarded rule of them
all: no pets in campus housing.
Illegal Beagles, Incorp., a group of ex-mercenaries
from Chicago, has been hired to eliminate every bird,
mammal and fish kept as a pet. Rodents and lice in
Silvercrest are exempt because of the Environmental
Protection Act.
This is a move in the right direction. Macalester and
Hamline now have dogs,- cats and lizards romping
indiscriminately in every room and Bethel could soon
backslide in the same way.
Reggie X, a Bethe•music major, tells of how the recent
security measures affected him:
I was in my townhouse one evening, quietly feeding
my pet goldfish Skipper. All of a sudden someone's.
pounding on the door yelling, "Illegal Beagles, we know
you've got fish in there. Open up!"
I started to panic. "Hey man, I ain't got no fish on me..
I'm clean," I said. The door burst open and in rushed five
Illegal Beagle officers carrying tranquilizer guns. I
dashed for the bathroom with my fishbowl hoping to
flush away the evidence but wouldn't you know it, my
roomie was in there drying his hair and had the door
locked. They got Skipper between the eyes. I've sure
learned my lesson: fighting the lifestyle does not pay.
The Buddhist faith has announced it plans to enter
the religious retreat market this winter. Nirvana '82
will bring thousands of mystics together to achieve
their first annual mountaintop experience. The authors
of How Zen Shall We Live and The Unequal Yoga will
address the truth seekers. For more information contact
your local chaper of Inn•er *V *a c*a ncy.
I was at school the other morning and in passing
observed the daily Eucharist which Dr. Dalton offi-ciates.
I was impressed by the devotion of those
gathered around the altar to partake of the a la carte
coffee and cookie sacraments.
Now, I'm from a Lutheran background and have no
problem with having a sip of coffee now and then in a
religious context. It is only when I see people depending
on the liquid to sustain them through the day that I
begin to worry. Columbian black has a way of leading
to bigger things like tea, hot chocolate and, ultimately,
coke (street slang for Coca-Cola).
Not only that, the coffee grounds themselves may
stunt growth, increase heart rate and cause insomnia
and nervousness which by no means add to the com-munity
Look what happened to Marlo Thomas, Robert Young
and Joe Dimaggio, each avowed coffee drinkers. Each of
them once had a successful acting or sports career; now
they are doing TV commercials for a living.
I would support any action by the Baptist General
Conference to substitute Postem in place of pure coffee
when used within a Christian environment.

Luxury breeds mindlessness
by Jerry Manus
It is time we admitted it:
Thanksgiving has chang-ed.
We are not homeless pil-grims
anymore simply of-fering
thanks for the basic
necessities of life. No, we
have lived too long with
too much to eat and too
much wasted heat to take
a heartfelt interest in such
basic matters. We now en-joy
luxuries that are much
more sophisticated and in-triguing.
I propose the following
prayer of thanks as one
fitting for our present situ-ation:
I thank you God, that I
live in a society in which it
is possible to isolate my-self
from other people if I
choose to, and thereby not
be affected by other peo-ple's
pain. It is really great
to be able to go behind my
wall, by myself or with
my little group of friends,
and not need to worry
about anyone else.
I thank you God, that I
am not a rotten sinner like
the gays, hookers and
winos that hang out down
on Hennepin Avenue and
try to mess up our nice
city. You have shown fa-vor
to me by putting me in
a clean, respectable corn-munity
of decent Chris-tians
who are living for
I am grateful Lord, that
you have put me in a na-tion
that fears you. For
you led our forefathers in
their battles as they wrest
led the land from the sav-age
heathens, oppressing
and killing all who stood
in their way.
Thank you for letting us
have peaceful and happy
hearts, despite the fact
that our nation is supply-ing
the weapons and mil-itary
training that are be-ing
used in Guatemala and
El Salvador to systemati-cally
annihilate groups of
people and even entire
towns. It is great to be able-to
say, "There's nothing I
can do."
We thank you God, for
letting us use a vastly dis--
proportionate amount of
the world's energy and
protein supply. It is such a
blessing to be able to oc-cupy
a relatively small
area of the earth with a
small proportion of the
earth's total population,
yet continue living as if
we were the only people
here that really mattered.
This proves that we are
your favored people.
Most of all God, thank
you for the religious com-munity
you've given us.
For within this commun-ity
we may appease our
consciences easily and
comfortably by simply fol-lowing
man-made rules
and some extremely nar-rowed-
down applications
of your commands.
In short, thank you for
our contented, mindless
apathy as we once again
celebrate this happy holi-day.

Thanksgiving day set
to give thanks to God
by Jim Baumgartner
Nearly 360 years ago a
group of people in the
North American colony of
Plymouth observed a day
of thanks to God. This
was the first Thanksgiv-ing
Day in the New World.
The Pilgrims celebrated
in order to give thanks for
a good harvest and the end
of a difficult year. The
traditional fruits, vegeta-bles,
turkeys and pump-kin
pies so common today
were, on the menu that
first Thanksgiving Day.
In later years many of
the colonies celebrated in
order to give thanks for
good harvests and victo-ries
over Indians. In the
19th century many states
observed Thanksgiving
Day, each appointing its
own celebration dates.
In 1789, President
George Washington is-sued
the first presidential
Thanksgiving proclama-tion
to honor the new Con-stitution.
As a result of the
prodding of Mrs. Sarah J.
Hale, editor of Godey's
Lady's Book, President
Abraham Lincoln on Oct.
3, 1863, appointed the last
Thursday of November as
Thanksgiving Day.
Every president after
Lincoln made similar pro-clamations
until 1941
when Congress set Thanks-giving
Day on the fourth
Thursday of November as
a public holiday.
Dr. John Herzog, a new professor of Biblical Studies, accepts
God's prompting to come to Bethel. Herzog previously taught at

by Diane Hudson
Dr. John Herzog, new
professor in Biblical/Theo-logical
Studies at Bethel,
said that only the leading
of God brought him to Beth-el
from an eight-year teach-ing
stretch at Gordon Col-lege.
Herzog said, "I had
no reason to come here
instead of staying at Gor-don,
but since I was in-vited
I kept open to the
idea and God convinced
me and my family that he
wanted us at Bethel."
Herzog believes his
teaching experience was
one reason Bethel asked
him to interview for the
position. He said, "Bethel
wanted someone with a
general theological sym-pathy
who could work
well with the rest of a pro-fessional
Herzog is presently
teaching Introduction to
Biblical Studies, Ad-vanced
New Testament
and Beginning Greek. He
studied Greek as an un-dergraduate
at Wheaton
College where he earned
both a B.A. degree and a
M.A. degree. He corn-
. pleted his doctoral work
at Hartford Seminary in
1972, and recently- com-pleted
a textbook for sec-ond-
year Greek studies
which he hopes to have
published soon.
Together with Jim
Holmes, associate profes-sor
in mathematics at Beth-el,
Herzog is part of Beth-el's
Curriculum Review
Committee. Herzog said
the administration be-lieves
he and Holmes will
add insight to Bethel's
curriculum review be-cause
they are new to the
Herzog said he looks
forward to Bethel's wider
range of academic and ex-tracurricular
When asked to compare
Bethel and Gordon Col-lege,
he said, "Because
Bethel is twice the size of
Gordon, it is able to do
more in athletics, art, mu-sic
and drama. The extra
funds enable students
here to get a more fully-developed
academic ex-perience."
In 1980, Gordon College
awarded Herzog the Facul-ty
Excellence in Teaching
Award, given each year to
the professor whose total
contribution in the class-room
is most noteworthy.
Herzog and his wife
Ruth have two sons, Tim,
14 and Nathan, 8.
Besides teaching, Herzog
enjoys cross-country ski-ing
with his family in the
winter and summer acti-vities
such as camping
and swimming.

Gift income pays costs,
provides scholarships
by Debbie Sayler
Tuition only covers 70
per cent of the costs at
Bethel. The other 30 per
cent is paid for by gifts
given to the school. Last
year this gift income ex-ceeded
$3 million, accord-ing
to John Sahlin, Beth-el's
director of develop-ment.
The gift income helps to
pay for Bethel's current $2
million per year operating
costs such as employees'
salaries and day-to-day
Another part of the gift
money goes for scholar-ships
and to pay for "capi-tal
(new building) pro-jects."
The $3 million Bethel
received last year in gift
income came from several
sources. Baptist General
Conference churches and
associated churches con-tributed
31 per cent of the
gift income. Corporations
and foundations contribut-ed
27 per cent. Other peo-ple
interested. in Bethel
contributed nine per cent.
Bethel alumni contribut-ed
seven per cent, and par-ents
of former and current
Bethel students contribut-ed
six per cent. Bethel fac-ulty
and staff contributed
one per cent, and the Board
of Regents contributed
slightly under one per

Letha Scanzoni, co-auth-or
of All We're Meant to
Be, one of the first and
most well-known books
on evangelical feminism,
will speak at Bethel Col-lege
on Thursday, Dec. 3,
at 7 p.m. in FA 312. The
meeting, which is open to
Bethel students, is spon-sored

Scanzoni will present

polis. Her greatest contri-bution
to Bethel was her
unselfish spirit of encour-agement
and her far-sight-ed
vision for Bethel.
Under her leadership, thou-sands
of dollars were
raised for Bethel. Her
dream was to have dormi-tories
for Bethel students.
Margareta, also known as
"Mother Bodien," died in
1938, 13 years before the
first wing of the first dorm
was completed on Bethel's
old campus at 1480 N. Snel-ling
Ave. Both Edgren and
Bodien were names origi-nally
given to'dormitories
on the old campus.
Nelson dorm is named
after Effie V. Nelson. Nel-son

in 1932. After many
years as librarian Nelson
She has written 'exten-sively

and English at the college.
In 1937, Nelson became.
the first Dean of Women at
Bethel College.
The Robertson Physical
Education Center, another
significant building at Beth-el,
is named after H. J.
Robertson. Robertson is an
alumnus of the University
of Minnesota. He is an
elderly farmer from west-ern
Minnesdta who, accord-ing
to Johnson, donated
generously to Bethel.
The major donor of
funds for Bethel's court-yard
project was the Kres-ge
Foundation of Michi-gan.
Thus the Kresge Court-yard
is named after that

Bremer Field is named
for the Bremer foundation
of St. Paul in honor of the
substantial contribution it
made to Bethel.
by Tami McQuoid
Bodien, Edgren, Nelson
and Robertson are build-ing
names frequently
heard at Bethel. Even
though these names are
common to the vocabulary
of most Bethel students,
few students know where
these names came from
and who they represent.
According to Florence
Johnson, Bethel's director
of publicity, most build-ings
at Bethel are named
after Bethel alumni or per-sons,
foundations and or-ganizations
that have con-tributed
a significant
amount of money to spe-cific
The three dorms on Beth-el's
campus, however, are
named after individuals
who contributed in other
ways to the establishmerit
and growth of the college
and seminary. -
Edgren dorm is named
after J. A. Edgren (1839-
1908), the founder of Beth-el
Theological Seminary.
Edgren was known for his
adventurous spirit, heroic
faith, love of, hard work
and great scholastic achieve-ments.
He was a Swedish sea
captain who had a dream
of starting a seminary for
his fellow countrymen
who were struggling to
make Christ known to the
rest of the world. In 1871,
Edgren's dream became a
reality when the first stu-dent

with a 33-yard scoring
pass from Steve Doten to
Pete Kramka, and took a

An Incredible Demonstration of Psychic ConnectionYou display two sets of ESP cards. Both sets contain the five classic ESP symbols-a circle, cross, three wavy lines, square and a star.
You and the spectator mix the cards completely and you correctly predict what card the spectator will place down first. This is repeated with the second card, then the third, the fourth, and finally the fifth! With the turn of each card the effect is more incredible. Symbologic is so clean and direct it will astonish even the most hard-to-please audiences.

As can be expected, the sea remains integral part of the training of RNR officers and ratingsand today, RNR personnel regularly train and fight alongside their regular counterparts. It provides qualified professionals to support the Service and Defence Community during period of peace, conflict, civil crisis or simply when our community need assistance.
In April 2006, the Royal Naval Reserve adopted a new formation, but this time it became an integral part of the peacetime Fleet, for the first time in its existence. The Royal Naval Reserve and Royal Marines Reserve merged to become the Maritime Reserves and, after a period away from the higher command echelons of the Service, the Maritime Reserves once again have a voice at the Admiralty Board under Flag Officer Reserves, and mirroring the structure of all the other formations in the Fleet.
Since its formation over 100 years ago, the Maritime Reserves have evolved to be fully integrated with the Fleet and daily, they provide more specialist knowledge and experience than ever before at the planning and execution stages of operations and exercises. The Maritime Reserves remain relatively small in size but they are generally regarded as a loyal, dedicated and highly motivated professional arm of the Royal Navy.

THE SECRET OF POSSIBLE DREAMS... That Leads You to Successful Living
by The Story And Time Of My Life Dave Hurt
This is the price your customers see. Edit list price
About the Book
For years whenever I tell something that happened to me while growing up, people would often say you should write a book to share your story. I know I am not perfect which you will see through this book. I had dreams, weaknesses, racial tension, love, hate, insecurities about being a dark skinned black man in the south and a need to change my life. I went though a period of heavy drinking, women, dark days, reckless behavior and sorrow. But I always had a vision and always had a dream that was guided by my faith in God and the support of my beautiful wife. God took me through a journey and gave me a vision that was enhanced through my good and bad experiences and trip to Africa and to Israel. Through this book and encouragement from many, I am now sharing the secret to possible dreams that has led me to successful living. I hope you will read it and enjoy it. God Bless You Dave Hurt

Florida Woman, Posing as Husband's Ex, Posts Racy Ad on Craigslist
A Florida woman may have taken the prize for nastiest prank ever.
Natasha Larson took out an ad on Craig'slist in which she invited men to come over for random sexual encounters — and then she signed it with the name and address of her husband's ex.
It wasn't long before guys starting showing up on the unfortunate lady's doorstep.
"She also gave them my cell phone number and these men were calling, texting and sending pornographic picture messages to me," the unnamed victim, who said she has two children at home, wrote to the Herald-Tribune. "So, not only did she endanger my life and safety by sending these strange men to my home but she endangered her husband's children as well."
Police worked with Google and Verizon to trace the ad back to Larson. She's now been arrested and charged with criminal use of personal identification and information, which is a felony.

It's fair to say that Lex duPont totally digs $2 bills.
He always makes sure he has a few in his wallet. He particularly enjoys leaving $2 bills as tips. He loves the look on people's faces when he lays one on them.
"It's not an obsession," DuPont, 59, told me. "But if you ask anyone, they'll say, 'Lex and those damn $2 bills.'"
So it was with more than passing interest to the West Los Angeles resident when he received an ad in the mail recently offering a "seldom-seen $2 note in crisp, uncirculated condition for $2!"
Wow — a $2 bill for just $2. But that's not all.
DuPont would also receive a brand-new Great Smoky Mountains National Park quarter at no additional cost.
So that's $2.25 worth of money for $2.
"I had to wonder," DuPont said, "are these guys nuts?"
Good question, and not just because selling $2.25 worth of money for $2 would strike most people as perhaps not the savviest business model.
What also jumped out at DuPont was the ad saying that the "sought-after" $2 note was being marked down 78% from its regular price of $9.50.
"That's really strange," he said. "I never have a problem getting $2 bills at the bank for $2 each. I'll get $100 worth of them in one visit."
I put that to the test at a downtown Bank of America branch, where I asked the teller if she had any sought-after, seldom-seen $2 bills in stock.
"Sure," she said, checking her inventory. "About 150 of them."
At $9.50 each, that could have set me back $1,425. But the teller wanted only $2 for each $2 note, many of which, she said, were in pristine condition.
So what's the story behind the ad DuPont received?
It was from New Hampshire's Littleton Coin Co., which touts itself as "America's favorite coin source." Thanks to its aggressive marketing, Littleton is described by About.com as "perhaps the best-known coin dealer in America."
"Our goal is to provide you with the largest selection of quality products, along with world-class customer service," David Sundman, Littleton's president, says on the company's website. "We don't want to just meet your expectations. We want to exceed them, so you can enjoy the best possible collecting experience."
I'm no numismatist, but I found plenty of coin collectors online complaining about Littleton's prices. One collector posted a YouTube video showing a coin he'd received from the company that he said could have been obtained for a fraction of the cost elsewhere.
Landon Sorgenstein, manager of Wilshire Coin in Santa Monica, said it's an open secret in the collectible-cash world that Littleton isn't the go-to place for the best deals.
"I've never seen anything that says they're not trustworthy," he said. "But the stuff Littleton sells, we sell a lot cheaper. I'm sure they have huge marketing costs that they have to pass on to consumers."
I guess that could explain charging $9.50 for a $2 bill. But it doesn't explain offering $2.25 worth of money for only $2.
In its ad, Littleton says that by requesting a $2 bill and free quarter, you'll also receive "other fascinating selections from our Free Examination Coins-on-Approval Service."
What that magnificently meaningless phrase means is that Littleton will include up to five additional coins with your order — a Kennedy half-dollar, say, or a buffalo-head nickel.
If you keep them, they'll cost you as much as $30. If you don't want them, you'll have to return them using Littleton's postage-paid label.
Anyone who got suckered into Columbia House's mail-order record racket as a kid — and that includes me — probably will recall the hassle of having to return things you never wanted. Littleton's prepaid label helps, but you still have to get the package back in the mail.
In any case, nowhere in Littleton's ad does it spell out that "coins on approval" means you'll automatically receive products you didn't request.
John Hennessey, Littleton's vice president of marketing, said this sales tactic is "a way to introduce potential new customers to our company."
"Some people choose not to do business with us," he said. "Enough do."
I asked if the company's ads adequately disclose that "coins on approval" means you'll receive extra coins that you have to pay for if you decide to keep them.
"It seems clear to me when I read it," Hennessey replied.
I also asked how Littleton can get away with charging $9.50 for a $2 note. Hennessey said that this is the company's price for a $2 bill that's never been circulated.
I said I could get an uncirculated $2 bill at the bank for $2.
"Yes, that's probably true," he said.
Littleton seems like a respectable company. While their marketing might be questionable, it doesn't appear as though they're trying to cheat anyone.
That said, I don't recommend paying more than $2 for any $2 bill, "sought-after" or otherwise.
And if someone sweetens the deal with a free quarter, you can be sure they've got an ulterior motive.

NEW YORK — Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Fashion publicist slapped by angry editor over seating snafu at Zac Posen show, slaps back with $1-million lawsuit against the alleged slapper. Kimye (Kim Kardashian and Kanye West) cause rush-hour paparazzi scrum arriving at Grand Central Station for Marchesa show. Celebrity divorcee Katie Holmes launches second act presenting Holmes & Yang collection for the first time in the big time, at fashion week hub Lincoln Center. A three celeb-pileup — Emma Stone, Amy Adams and Diane Kruger — dominates the hubbub at Calvin Klein.
The clothes? Who had time to look? New York Fashion Week was as much about tabloidish exploits and celebrity photo ops as it was about clothes.
It's an event where a humiliated Hollywood wife (model Liberty Ross) can come to find redemption, walking tall on the runway at Alexander Wang's high-profile show and showing up her husband, director Rupert Sanders, and his young paramour, Kristen Stewart, while she was at it.
And it's where Olympians can come to polish their personal brands, bringing their medals backstage to pose with designers (sprinter Sanya Richards-Ross with designer Lubov Azria at BCBG) and testing their reporting for media outlets. (Ryan Lochte, the swimmer with questionable style chops, covered the runways for E! Entertainment.)
There were enough basketballers on the scene (Russell Westbrook, Chris Bosh) to play a pickup game. Tyson Chandler and wife Kimberly were reporting a story for Vogue magazine. And Rajon Rondo (who had never been to a fashion show in his life before he popped up here last week) was deputized as GQ magazine's fashion intern. It may have been the first time in fashion week history that an intern was guaranteed a front-row seat.
Fashion week, which started Sept. 5, was up against the MTV Music Awards, the Democratic National Convention and the Toronto International Film Festival. And still, the celebrities came out in droves. Why? Well, who doesn't love a fashion show? But there are other reasons, as well.
"It's a symbiotic relationship," Sasha Charnin Morrison, US Weekly fashion director, said of celebrities and designers. "The photographs of a celebrity at a show get live streamed, Tweeted and blogged about, which is invaluable for a designer."
You can have a clunker of a movie — or a marriage — but show up at fashion week and it can be elevating. "You have to get out there and work it if you want magazine covers and ad campaigns," Morrison said.
Susan Kaufman, editor of People StyleWatch, points to three categories of celebs who show up in the front row. "For younger starlets, it's strategic to get out and about to gain exposure," she said. It's also a good platform for promoting upcoming film and TV projects, and a fashion show can be tacked onto appearances on New York-based TV talk shows.
"Then there are those celebs who already have relationships with designers, like Sarah Jessica Parker at Diane von Furstenberg, or Florence Welch and Kirsten Dunst at Proenza Schouler," Kaufman continued. These women are tastemakers, already known and followed for their fashion sense, who attend shows of designers they like to wear or with whom they are friendly.
The third group are high-wattage seat fillers — celebrities who receive special treatment, such as appearance fees, free clothing or travel expenses, in exchange for posing for the cameras while wearing a designer's clothes. "Some designers could use the attention," Kaufman said.
But is it too much of a distraction when, during a designer's $100,000 runway-show production, guests are sheep-dogging to get a camera-phone shot of Kanye, instead of looking at the gown that took 100 hours to make?
No, according to Kelly Cutrone, a fashion publicist-turned-author and TV star who handles several designer clients. (Cutrone had her own brush with tabloid fame in 2009 when she let Ashley Dupre, the call girl who brought down then-New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, into Yigal Azrouel's fashion week show and was fired by the designer as a result.) "It's fantastic" to have the celebrity presence, she said. "It draws the attention of the press and the bloggers from all over the world to all the designers who are here showing their creations."
While there are always brands that will pay to stock the front row with bold-faced names, Cutrone said celebs also seek out fashion shows on their own volition, and sometimes at the last minute. She calls them "drive-bys."
"We've had some amazing drive-bys this season," she said. "Paula Abdul showed up at one of our shows, and at Jeremy Scott we had Tyra Banks — she was planned on because we're on a show together — but Ryan Lochte was there. Apparently he's a fan. And [hip-hop recording artist and record producer] Swizz Beatz was there with his baby. It was pretty amazing. It's more random than last year's drive-bys of Joe Jonas and [photographer] Terry Richardson."
The draw is easy to explain, Cutrone said. "It's a great way for them to really be in control of their own brand and their own image, and position themselves in a place and in a way that there's the potential to be seen by fashion brands that might be willing to throw millions of dollars at them."
Kaufman said there are times when celebrities can be distracting at a fashion show, but that was not the case this season. The dressed-up bloggers and hangers-on (that dude with the banker's haircut, in a ball gown and a "bite me" necklace for instance) are driving just as much of a photo-snapping frenzy, Kaufman said. "They are the new celebrities."
And the new gossip column fodder.
Word has it that flamboyant front-row fixture and blogger Bryanboy is "really, really scared" about the effects of the new level of fame he expects from his star turn as a judge on the upcoming season of "America's Top Model." Apparently, he doesn't want to be a role model.

The workload of the AMPHORA project has been structured in 9 fields of work. Each field is leaded by an expert, resulting in 9 interdependent work packages (WP).
WP1 - Creation of a European Alcohol Policy Research Alliance
Led by Antoni Gual - Hospital Clínic i Provincial de Barcelona
Involving all work package leaders and beneficiaries, the management team will oversee and coordinate the whole project.
WP2 - Integrated policy making
Led by Jürgen Rehm - Technische Universitaet Dresden
Evaluation of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of policy interventions will be performed in a common framework so that the outcome will enable comparisons across countries and time. Also, this second work package will estimate joint effects of multiple interventions.
WP3 - Analysis of the interaction of socio- cultural, economic and demographic determinants of the effectiveness of alcohol polic
Led by Allaman Allamani - Agenzia Regionale di Sanità
Social and cultural determinants that can affect alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm will be identifyed and their change over time will be described. The final goal is the selection of those policies and programmes with the highest probability of success.
WP4 - Study the effect of marketing on alcohol consumption
Led by Avalon de Bruijn -Stichting Alcoholpreventie
This work package focuses on quantification of exposure to alcohol advertisement in young people. The resulting evidence will be used to examine individual and overall impact on their habits over three years.
WP5 - Study the impact of price and availability
Led by Esa Österberg - Terveyden ja Hyvinvoinnin Latios

HTML (short for the "Hyper Text Markup Language") is one of the underpinnings technologies of the modern web with the lion's share of web users' Internet activities founded on it. For nearly two decades HTML has worked well while undergoning a number of changes in response to the growing requirements of web users and vendors. It now stands on the brink of the next change -- the coming of HTML 5. At present, the Internet already contains a handful of HTML 5 specification outlines which partially cover HTML 5 features and conceptions. In this article, we review the current state of HTML and describe the most significant HTML 5 innovations.
The initial version of HTML was pioneered by Tim Berners-Lee in the 1980s. The idea was based on and influenced by the SGML format (Standard General Markup Language) used in CERN.
The first description of HTML was introduced to the general public in 1991 in a document called HTML Tags. This document described 20 elements included in the initial design of HTML. The first HTML specification, HTML 2.0, was published as IETF RFC 1866 in 1995. HTML 1.0 was a draft specification.
In 1994, the W3C organization was established with a directive to administer expansion of common web protocols and to advance web interoperability. All subsequent versions of HTML specification were published as W3C Recommendations. HTML 3.2 was published as W3C Recommendation in January 1997 and HTML 4.0 was published in December 1997, with minor edits issued in 1998, 1999, and 2000.
The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) took leadership of HTML development and started work on HTML 5.0 specification in 2004 under the name "Web Applications 1.0". As of now, more than 13 years have passed since the first publication of HTML 4.0 W3C Recommendation and HTML 5.0 is still in a working draft state. Nevertheless, many parts of the draft are stable and have already been implemented in some browsers.
And Then There was DOM
The authors of HTML 5.0 have chosen the Interface Definition Language (IDL) for describing the interface of the DOM elements in a language-neutral manner. IDL has C++-like syntax and provides various methods for defining OOP concepts, including but not limited to attributes (including read-only), methods, constants and inheritances. Below is an excerpt from HTML 5.0 specification that illustrates the power of IDL. This example is designed for developers familiar with object-oriented programming languages such as C++, Java, or C#.
interface HTMLMediaElement : HTMLElement { // error state readonly attribute MediaError error; // network state attribute DOMString src; readonly attribute DOMString currentSrc; const unsigned short NETWORK_EMPTY = 0; const unsigned short NETWORK_IDLE = 1; const unsigned short NETWORK_LOADING = 2; const unsigned short NETWORK_NO_SOURCE = 3; ... void load(); DOMString canPlayType(in DOMString type); void play(); void pause(); ... // controls attribute boolean controls; attribute float volume; attribute boolean muted; ... // timed tracks readonly attribute TimedTrack[] tracks; MutableTimedTrack addTrack(in DOMString label, in DOMString kind, in DOMString language); };
Note that IDL only defines the attributes and methods of elements, not their textual representations. For textual representation, HTML 5 specification uses HTML and XHTML serialization types. In regards to web application authors, this change merely means that they are allowed to write their documents in any of these syntax styles.
While IDL provides numerous advantages, it also has shortcomings in comparison with DTD, the method previously used for defining HTML 4 elements. It's primary disadvantages are:
- Lack of an obvious way to specify allowable elements hierarchies (i.e. which elements can be children of other elements and vice versa).
- Absence of means for defining constraints of attributes. It is impossible to specify which attributes are required and which are optional. It is also not possible to specify a set of allowable values.
The authors of HTML 5 have chosen IDL, in place of DTD or the more powerful XSD, because it can abstractly define elements and their behaviors without relying on concrete markup syntax, an impossible task for DTD and XSD.

Gates of the Arctic Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Gates of the Arctic Wilderness (map) in 1980 and it now has a total of 7,167,192 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Alaska and is managed by the National Park Service. The Gates of the Arctic Wilderness is bordered by the Noatak Wilderness to the west.
DescriptionWhen Bob Marshall explored this region in the early 1930s, two looming peaks near the head of the North Fork of the Koyukuk River (Boreal Mountain and Frigid Crags) left a lasting impression on him. He dubbed them "The Gates of the Arctic." Straddling the central Brooks Range and looming entirely above the Arctic Circle, the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve protects a mass of land four times larger than Yellowstone National Park. The park is managed primarily as Wilderness. On the south slopes visitors will find a sampling of thin boreal forest. The ragged, majestic peaks of the Brooks Range invite exploration and give way northward to rolling tundra, too far north for many trees to grow, where barren-ground caribou travel in huge herds and grizzly bears roam away their solitary lives. Moose, wolves, Dall sheep, black bears, and smaller mammals share the park. Eagles and hawks soar overhead. On the extreme northern verge the land is polar desert, one of the driest places on Earth.
Remote glacier-carved valleys split the range, drained by clear rivers and dotted with alpine lakes. Anglers head here for the grayling, char, and chum salmon often found in abundance in the rivers. Although no established trails exist, backpacking is becoming increasingly popular in Gates of the Arctic. Many hikers carry a firearm for protection from bears, but attacks are uncommon. Climbers are attracted to the Arrigetch Peaks and Mount Igikpak. Sport hunting and trapping is allowed on the preserve section. Although camping is unrestricted, wood is scarce and campfires are discouraged.
Waterways suitable for floating or paddling are seemingly endless and include all or part of six Wild and Scenic Rivers: all 83 miles of the Alatna River, which roars out of the Arrigetch Peaks; all 52 miles of the crystalline John River; all 110 miles of the Kobuk River, with its sweeping vistas of the Brooks Range; all 102 miles of the North Fork of the Koyukuk River, running through a glacier-carved valley; part of the 330 miles of the Noatak River, the longest member of the Wild and Scenic family in America; and all 44 miles of the remote and seldom visited Tinayguk River.

Your house is looking beautiful!
Hello, first and second parlor!
I've been following your blog for a LONG time, just never commented. All I can say is "WOW"...it all looks amazing!!
Amazing. Like Deb, I've been reading for a long time and this transformation has been SO satisfying. Great work!
This is a SPECTACULAR transformation. I love your commitment to authenticity. The fireplace tile, the plaster, the lamps, the woodwork -- they all look wonderful.
oh my god. it really does seem like something eternal? has been accomplished. i love that the old house is getting all her innards as well as her outards renewed and refreshed. thank you for doing it and sticking with it and sharing it with us.
This transformation is incredible! I don't have any better words, other than 'wow'. And those wooden pocket doors - those are to die for. Thank you for sharing your projects with us from start to finish - it's really amazing to follow.
Boo-yah! That looks amazing.
So classy. No shortcuts. Whenever I get to a tough spot, I'm coming back to this post.
I've seen so many before pics of these rooms, it's breathtaking to see the after.
It's not just what you've done, but that you've shared it, so that I, and probably many others, can get the encouragement and inspiration to do a really kick ass restoration job.
Soooo sweet!!!!
I can just imagine myself in such a space after years of work, enjoying the elegance, the achieved potential. What is the first drink you pour and sip as you savor it all? What would mine be? Hmmm...better go finish one of my rooms and find out!
Just found your blog and I feel your pain.
We bought a 1900 Victorian and just had the house rewired and the roof replaced.
The house had five layers (11,000 tons) of shingles. I think it included the original layer.
Its a wonder the house did not implode from the weight.
*falls down*
First time over here, great job!
Unlike others, I'm not a longtime reader of your blog. First one I saw was about the marble sealing test. This one almost made me cry when I saw the photo showing the rectangular window with colored glass. My childhood home (torn down 8 years ago) had windows with colored glass--3 like yours and two large picture windows with oblong panels on the top and sides. Blessings on the friend who took them out for us and hauled them 400 miles to my mom's house...where they sit while we figure out how to use them. (And avoid breaking them trying to take out the small panes to use in something else. I do NOT want to break them!)

I believe in preparing for the uneventful. Because if you're not, technology can be unforgiving. Hardware failure or human carelessness can easily cause you to lose files that are important to you. Even while writing this article, I managed to rid myself of the screenshots I had just gathered!
That instant, when you realize you've lost something dear, is absolutely horrifying. And yet everyone – yes, every single one of you – makes these kind of mistakes.
You throw away an old folder without checking its contents, or prematurely decide you won't be needing a certain file anymore. That's why you should consider using an application like Disk Drill; to protect you against yourself and the fancies of technology.

What Does it Mean to Abide in Christ?
from Sinclair Ferguson Jun 24, 2019 Category: ArticlesThe exhortation to "abide" has been frequently misunderstood, as though it were a special, mystical, and indefinable experience. But Jesus makes clear that it actually involves a number of concrete realities. First, union with our Lord depends on His grace. Of course we are actively and personally united to Christ...

Farmers and the Rest of Us
from Gene Edward Veith Jun 30, 2009 Category: ArticlesMight there be a time when readers of the Bible will not understand -- without a host of reference books -- what a sower is? For most of the world's history, the majority of people made their living from the land. Today the number of family farms is dwindling. Farms have turned into factories. Tractors pulling seeders and tilling machines have replaced the figure of the sower who throws out seed from a bag. But whatever their agricultural techniques, we cannot do without farmers. Perhaps more clearly than any other profession, farmers exemplify the Reformation doctrine of vocation. Keep Reading
Study Philosophy at Home with Ligonier Academy
from Keith Mathison Jun 29, 2009 Category: Ligonier AcademyDr. Sproul has often remarked that his study of philosophy in college was crucial in helping him to counter the liberal theology he encountered in seminary. Having studied philosophy, he was able to recognize the underlying ideas that shaped the thinking of his professors. Our culture has been shaped by more than twenty centuries of philosophical reflection. In order to address this culture, we must understand its way of thinking. Keep Reading
The Sense of Touch in Worship
from R.C. Sproul Jun 28, 2009 Category: ArticlesYears ago, I spoke at a service at a large church in California. After I finished preaching, the associate pastor invited everyone who would like to have prayer to come forward to the long kneeling bench across the front of the sanctuary, and seventy-five or eighty people responded. The minister then gave a closing prayer, but as he prayed he walked along the bench and touched each person on the head very gently. I thought, "This is remarkable. This is a recovery, in a sense, of the ancient tradition of having a physical touch that is a part of the worship service." Keep Reading
God's Will and Your Job (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul Jun 27, 2009 Category: ArticlesIn addition to the inner call of God, we recognize that there is such a thing as an external call to labor, a call that comes from people who request our services for their particular mission or purpose. We may be called by the church to be preachers or by a company to be foremen or shippers. Every time an organization places a want ad in a newspaper, a human call is going out for able workers to come and match their gifts and talents to a presented need. Keep Reading
God's Will and Your Job (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul Jun 26, 2009 Category: ArticlesLet us extend the concept of service and obedience to the analogy of human warfare. A crisis besets a nation, and people are summoned in the cause of national defense. Leaving the security and comfort of their homes and jobs, they make sacrifices by enlisting in the armed services. Are not Christians called to do the same? Certainly there is a sense in which we are. Yet within the context of the earthly military, there are a vast number of jobs, some for which we would be suited and others for which we would not. Some military tasks would be in line with our motivated skills and patterns of behavior while others would be completely at odds with our motivated skills and behavior. Even within the context of sacrificial service, consideration of motivation is a vital ingredient in determining our vocation. Keep Reading
God's Will and Your Job (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul Jun 25, 2009 Category: ArticlesThe question of vocation becomes a crisis at two major points in life. The first is in late adolescence when a person is pressured into deciding what skills and knowledge he should acquire for future use. Some college freshmen feel pressured to declare a major in their first year, before knowing the available options and the limits of their ability. Keep Reading

Atheism Remix
from Keith Mathison Jun 23, 2009 Category: ArticlesIn 2004, Alister McGrath published a book entitled The Twilight of Atheism: The Rise and Fall of Disbelief in the Modern World. Although the book did not suggest that atheism was dead, its publication may have been a bit premature.

The enemy has been defeated, but he doesn't yet have the sense to give up. Keep Reading

Craft Project: Tea Towel Cake
Tea towel
Corrugated Cardboard - any color will work
Plastic Holly Pick - cup cake picks, craft picks, whatever you want to use
Rubber band
1. Roll the tea towel into a cylinder and secure with a rubber band.
2. Trace a circle onto the cardboard and cut out. This will be the base for the tea towel cake so it should be the same size as the rolled up tea towel.
3.Cut a strip of corrugated cardboard out to wrap around the towel (refer to picture). Staple the cardboard together.
4. Place the the towel onto the cardboard circle. Place a decorative pick in the center or the tea towel. Wrap the cake with cellophane. Tie closed with ribbon. Done.

How cute! I will definitely make a few of these throughout the year! I guess they would also make a really cute welcome-baby gift.

Super cute! You could probably make little muffins/cupcakes with smaller towels. :)
