Reigning Queen Thelma Plans
Junior High Teaching Career
Well known and admired both by the "Bethel family" and by
her community and church in Seattle, Washington, is the lovely,
talented senior, Thelma Frederickson. Music is, and has continued
to be a delight for Miss Frederickson from early childhood through
her years at Bethel where she has made music her major area of
Miss Frederickson is an active member of college choir both
accompanying and singing with the group. She is often seen at the
organ during chapel, lending her talent to this worship hour and
serving her Lord.
Upon graduation, Miss Frederickson hopes to remain in and
continue her musical career by teaching music in a Washington
junior high school. Miss Frederickson feels that in choosing a
vocation one should find a field where his talents and interests
will be an inspiration or an intellectual influence upon those with
whom he works. For herself, Miss Frederickson finds that the
junior high level represents the challenge of young people that
need great understanding, patience and guidance as they form
ideas and opinions leading into their adulthood.
In addition to maintaining a high scholastic record, Miss
Frederickson is active in campus organizations. At present she is
the corresponding secretary of the student senate.
Miss Frederickson feels that true happiness does not lie in
the momentary pleasures of life, which are often emphasized so
much today. For her, an area of real happiness lies in the plea-sure
of the lasting friendships she has made, especially those
Christian friendships she has made while at Bethel college.
Saturday Banquet Features
Gospel Singer, Bev Shea
Featured with Clarence Bass, as- theology in the seminary, at the
Homecoming banquet will be vo-calist
George Beverly Shea, ac-companied
by Tedd Smith, pianist.
Mr. Shea has been heard on a
countless number of phonograph
records, and at evangelistic meet-ings
throughout the world, and he
has been employed by various
Christian radio stations as an-nouncer
and soloist. "Bev" Shea
has become a synonym for a rev-erent
treatment of the favorite
old gospel hymns.
Since 1947, Mr. Shea has team-ed
with evangelist Billy Graham
in the city wide campaigns that
have had millions in attendance.
Since 1950, Mr. Shea, with the
rest of the Billy Graham team,
has been heard over the ABC,
NBC, and MBS radio networks on
the broadcast, "The Hour of Deci-sion."
David Stapp Has Died ;
We Shall Not Forget Him
David Stapp has died. We have mourned for him, we have buried
him, but we cannot—must not forget him.
David was nineteen years old, enrolled as a college junior this year.
David was never well; each day for him was a physical burden. Hence,
he sought life in the intellectual and the spiritual, the meaningful and
the real. He lived each day for the sheer challenge and joy that living
held for him. He was precise, critical, sceptical; but these in caution,
to construction, not pessimism, never defeat. He despised the false, the
shallow, the sham. Few ideas escaped David's consideration and evalua-tion—
no meritorious concept did he abandon. Life held few experiences
per se for David; all was judged and related to the ultimate meaning
he believed life to have. What was this final criterion ? Jesus, the
Christ. Above all else, David would have had his life to be transparent.
Beyond this transparency, his life was illuminating. He showed us a
fruitful way to follow—serve our Lord; for despite his considerable
need for help, David did not live unto himself. His life was given to
others. Through his own experience, he sensed what others needed to
make them strong—to give them courage, and through the love of
Jesus Christ, he was available and able to show that strength and cour-age.
Sense, Service, Sacrifice, Salvation.
David Stapp has died—we shall not forget him.

Mind and Soul of Bethel Man
Let's March for Freedom
And Human Dignity on Nov. 8
Next Tuesday millions of people will go to the polls to cast their
votes for the candidates of their choice. However, there will be many
people who will not vote. Among the non-voters will be those who don't
care enough about their American freedom to exercise one of their
greatest democratic rights. Others are not going to vote because in
their location they are still subjected to political and social injustices
which have almost become a casual phenomena there.
As a Christian college, we feel that we should support the work
of NSA in this human relations project for the equal rights of all men.
In a letter from Timothy Jenkins, National Affairs Vice President
of NSA, he writes of a recent trip through the South. He points out
that "a continuing example of political atrocity is Fayette County,
Tenn. where Negroes have been and are continuing to be subjected
to the most severe of economic reprisals for their demand of the ballot."
He states that other political violations have occurred periodically
in the South, but lack of communication seldom allows them to come
to light.
We join with Tim Jenkins in asking you, now that there is a call
from the Student Nonviolant Coordinating committee for the support
of students all over the country for the success of its Election Day
project on Nov. 8, to examine the total picture of voting rights viola-tions.
The recommended Election Day action will call attention to the
denial of voting rights in the South and the need for meaningful civil
rights action.
Three major political points must be emphasized in the Project:
(1) We demand immediate action on civil rights from the victorious
candidates. This action should embrace the recommendation of Section
III of the 1957 Civil Rights Act. (2) We demand that the right to vote
be assured and protected by the Federal Government, through appro-priate
legislation. (3) We demand that Rule 22 of the Senate be changed
so that Civil Rights legislation will not be blocked by filibustering.
Such demonstrations should occur on Election Day beginning at
4 p.m. and continuing through the supper hour. They will involve a
march to a central polling place or the State Capitol. There should be
a brief picket and a street meeting.
We remind you that the sit-ins have been effective and there have
been significant break-throughs in securing equal rights for all Ameri-cans.
But these sit-ins would not have been effective if they had been
We hope that the students of Bethel college will not sit idly by at
this time, but will join with students across the nation and in the
Twin Cities in this march for freedom and human dignity.
Senate Welcomes H.C. Guests
And Stresses H.C. Objectives
by Bruce Leafblad
Student Senate President
This year it is once again the privilege of the student senate to
bid a hearty welcome to the many guests who are joining our student
body in the traditionally festive Homecoming weekend. In addition to
the great host of alumni who are returning to enjoy the various acti-vities
are many parents who have come from almost every part of our
country to participate in the festivities. These are the folks to whom
we wish to extend a special welcome.
It is always a genuine pleasure for us to have parents and friends
of our Bethel family visit our campus. We hope that your stay with us
might accomplish these things: that you might be able to forget the
cares and concerns of everyday life and just plain enjoy yourself; that
you might become better acquainted with Bethel, its purpose, its pro-gram,
its people; that you might sense the true spirit of academic
freedom undergirded by sincere Christian dedication in the area of the
academic program; that you might sense this same spirit of dedication
to Christ in our times of play, as well as in our work; and then, too,
we trust that you will carry your appreciation and understanding of
Bethel with you as you leave that you might be able to inform others
who would like to know more about Bethel.
You may have noticed that this year's Homecoming program has
been carefully planned to encompass almost every aspect of campus
life at Bethel. Underlying the entire program is the basic theme which
has been taken from our rich literary heritage. This Shakespearean
theme was intended not only to increase our knowledge of some of the
works of Shakespeare, but also to bring to life one of his greatest
comedies. "The Taming of the Shrew", which is not only a literary
work of great value, satisfies the aims to present an element of cul-tural
and dramatic worth, as well as that of the literary objective. In
addition to that, the element of music has been enlisted to further en-compass
the offerings of the arts.
It is certainly obvious to all when we mention our objective in the
realm of athletics. The Homecoming game is the center spot of the
weekend's activities.
But at the core of the entire program is the desire that in all things
our Lord be uplifted. In all aspects of our campus life at Bethel nothing
is without its spiritual significance. Thus, our Christian committment
is certainly to be sensed in all that we do, whether it be work or play.
To highlight the underlying spiritual tone of the weekend's program is
the Homecoming banquet on Saturday night.
Well — there you have it! The objectives are there — literary,
cultural, dramatic, musical, athletic, social, spiritual. The other needed
element for a successful Homecoming is — that's right — YOU! We
trust that this shall be a memorable experience for all of you.
One again — WELCOME!
the CLARION
by Marvin Anderson, Alumnus, Seminary 1959
Conformity is the shibboleth of the mechan-istic
frame of mind so prevalent in our college, our
churches and our religious leaders. It leads inevi-tably
to sheer activism as the sole criterion of "suc-cess."
This lift adjustment within the 'peer group'
is pragmatism in a new form. Such a philosophy
of life stresses much ado—about nothing!
On the college campus adjustment to the med-iocrity
of the majority deprives many of an edu-cation.
For those coming from secondary schools
where history is equated with homemaking, and
mathematics with manners, the brutal facts of sub-ject-
centered courses explode like an atom bomb
in the center of their campus experience. What is
asked for is not irresponsible immoral activity, but
rather a disciplined mind prepared to face a world
of ideological warfare. "For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood . . ." Content and food for the
mind and soul of the Bethel man must never be
sacrificed for conformity to the false image of a
student 'active in campus affairs.' Coming from
the world of the uneducated let us resolve to sub-ject
ourselves to much ado—about something:
stretching of the mind with ideas and principles
not confusing it with unrelated facts and method.
Alfred North Whitehead has well said, "The func-tion
of a University is to shed details in favor of
principles." Do we dare to put our love for Christ
to the test in our educational experience at Bethel ?
May God help us to distinguish between conformity
to activity and conformity to Christ.
The Bethel Seminarian has a stake in the ex-

Asking the question, "Why your

walk, and should be kept as such.
It's a unique area both of learning
and service." Expanding this ini-tial

ploration of his educational experience. One be-comes
weary of ministers whose only concern seems
to be with a public image of activity, yet whose
primary task of proclamation is neglected. Again
one might wish for man-conformist Seminarians.
Can the potential minister capture the message of
the Apostolic Church ? "We will give ourselves
daily to prayer and to study of the Word." May the
faculty of both the college and seminary rededicate
themselves to the task of educating, not just train-ing.
One would not ask of a student what he is not
willing to begin in his own teaching . . .
In a world of noise and speed, meditation of
heart and mind to the will of God is sorely needed.
The faith that acts is also the faith that is mean-ingful,
that reaches out to a world lost and con-fused
in heart and mind. T. S. Eliot has captured

Author Torbet Is Guest
In Fall Seminary Lectures
Freshman Sweetheart Interviewed
Robert G. Torbet, dean and pro-fessor
of church history at Cen-tral
Baptist Theological seminary,
Kansas City, Kansas, will give
the annual fall lectures in the
seminary chapel on Nov. 17 and
"Aspects of the Baptist Tradi-tion
Re-examined" will be the
topic of these lectures given from
8:55 - 9:45 and 10:05 - 11 a.m. on
Thursday and from 8 - 8:50 and
10:05 - 11 a.m. on Friday. A dis-cussion
period will be held from
11:05 to 11:55 a.m. on Friday.
Dr. Torbet received his B.A. de-gree

ed Mr. Halleen. Expressing a need
for the active, aggressive Chris-tian,
Mr. Halleen chose the Auca
missionaries to illustrate the in-fluence
of athletics in forming a
dynamic Christian. The Auca mis-sionaries,
all collegiate athletes,
were characterized by their zea-lous
desire to serve Christ.
"Then there's discipline," said
Mr. Halleen, "both mental and
physical." A letterman in both
football and baseball while at
Wheaton college, Mr. Halleen un-doubtedly
has a personal acquaint-ance
with the rigorous process in
developing such a trait.
Summarizing his philosophy, Mr.
Halleen said, "We play to honor
Jesus Christ, as we do everything
else. When this isn't foremost,
football — like anything else — is
Graduating in 1956, Mr. Halleen
received his B.S. in physical edu-cation
from Wheaton college; how-ever,
his M.A. from the University
of Illinois is in the field of guid-ance
and counselling. His wife
Shirley is also a graduate of
Wheaton. Their daughter Terri is
one and a half years old.
Mr. Halleen didn't make any
predictions concerning the Home-coming
game. But he did read me
a few facts from a publicity bro-chure
from General Beadle. For
example: sixteen returning letter-men,
an excellent freshman group,
average weight of the line: 205 -
210 lb.
Just before I left, Mr. Halleen
found the record of Bethel versus
General Beadle. The last game we
played was in 1957: General Bea-dle
27—Bethel 0; 1956: General
Beadle 14—Bethel 13; 1955: Gen-eral

have hopes that '54 is the prece-dent

Planning to go into secondary

majoring in English and minoring
in speech.
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mil-ton
Peel, live in St. Cloud where
her father is a dental technician.
Miss Peel possesses great cour-age
and faith to work on a college
degree, for she is handicapped in
the use of her eyes. This has not
stopped her from working hard
and proving herself in school. She
graduated from St. Cloud high
school with an academic rating of
sixth highest in her class.
Miss Peel takes notes in Braillc

average, so this prevents her from
taking part in very many extra-curricular
activities. She said,
"Most of my time is spent on my

Student Lives in
'Total Community"
Recently Conrad Woodall, NSA
Coordinator, Steve Peterson, coun-selor
in Edgren residence, and
Lois Bradshaw, CLARION editor,
attended the Minnesota Dakotas
Regional NSA (National Student
Association) meeting at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, Duluth.
The main issue of the weekend
came to a climax when a vote was
taken concerning "project aware-ness."
The vote was in the affir-mative
and member schools in the
region are to support this move-ment.
Without knowledge of this pro-gram,
it is impossible to support
the movement. To enable you to
better understand this program,
we will discuss the scope of the
program and endeavor through fu-ture
issues to keep you aware.
Project awareness takes the em-phasis
off of the "student in his
role as student" on his campus
and injects him into the world as
a "student in the total commun-ity."
A student should not be isolated
for four years on a campus; but
during these years, which he is
studying and preparing himself for
life, he should continue to live in
the total world community in which
he will be working and serving up-on
Mail Deliveries
The mail comes in twice a
day, at 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
But due to the large volume this
year, it takes longer than usual
to sort it. Therefore, the post
office asks your cooperation in
not asking the employees if
"the mail is out." Notices and
mail comes in all day, so it is
never all out. The sign: "(The
Mail is all out)" means the re-gular
"First Class" only.
Regular pick-ups daily are:
8:30 — 1:00 — 4:30

Has Works Published
Robert Clark Nelson, instructor
in design in the college and a
graphis designer for the Minnea-polis
Institute of Art, recently
had four of his designs published
in the GRAPHIS ANNUAL, one
of the foremost journals of de-sign
published in Switzerland.
Ths magazine, which is an inter-national
survey of art and design,
has an annual entry acceptance
list of 10,000, which is ultimately
narrowed down to a thousand.
Mr. Nelson has had articles pub-lished
by GRAPHIS ANNUAL
four times previously. His works
include a book on Major Exhibi-tions
of European Paintings and
Sculpture and a folder for St.

Religious Liberty Nixon Beats Kennedy in Mock Election
Discussed, Is
Still Idealistic
by Walfred H. Peterson
Professor of Political Science
(on sabbatical 1960 - 61)
Currently, religious liberty is
much discussed, but unfortunate-ly
it is seldom defined with any
rigour by the discussants. This
lack exists because the definition
is complex and in part must re-late
to legal matters. Since com-plex
definitions are not popular
and since the law is often treated
as if it were to esoteric for the
layman, the valued concept, relig-ious
liberty, receives the ill treat-ment
of definition by glittering
Elements Noted
An adequate definition of the
term should include three ele-ments.
The first is a statement
that posits a kind of ideal. It
might read as follows: religious
liberty is the right of all persons
to worship and practice religion
according to the dictates of their
Law Not Realized
But this is not enough. What
the courts declare to be the law
is not always realized in the so-ciety
outside the judges' cham-bers.
The law may give you the
right to make religious speeches
in any public park, but the police-man
on the beat may tell you to
move along or be charged with
disturbing the peace. Unless you
are willing to risk the inconven-iences
of being so charged, your
freedom will be limited by the
threat of the policeman. Or if, as
you speak, an angry mob or bully
threatens your life and limb, fears
or prudence may well limit your
legal right. Thus, the legal ele-ment
of the definition must be
qualified in its turn by the facts
of the street.
If a definition of religious lib-
' erty includes all of these elements,
it will be at once a spur to the
realization of the ideal and a cau -
tion that ideals are never com-pletely
realized in society.

Bethel Amateur Radio club re-ports
that Martha Nixon, fresh-man,
and her mother, contacted
and talked to her father, the Rev.
Milo Nixon, in San Diego, Calif.
The contact was made Saturday,
Oct. 29. The Rev.. Mr. Nixon is
pastor of College Ave. Baptist
church. They were able to get
good reception for one-half hour.
Mary Lou and Lary Sewell con-tacted
their parents in San Diego
on Oct. 22.

member of College Ave. Baptist
"The Rev. Mr. Nixon talked on
his own phone to the ham in San
Diego and we received it," said
Bryce Miller, senior, of the radio
If students know of hams in
their home towns, they should give
their names to BARC and there is
a possibility that the club will be
able to arrange a schedule for
them to talk to their families.
Students who are interested
should contact Bryce Miller or

Presidential candidate Richard
M. Nixon soundly defeated the
presidential aspirant from Mass.,
Senator John F. Kennedy, in the
mock election on Nov. 2.
The faculty and students went
Republican by a 9-1 majority, with
450 votes cast for Nixon and 48
for Kennedy. Approximately 70
percent of those eligible voted.
Three hundred and forty-seven
Republicans, 23 Democrats and 80
Independents voted for Nixon,
while four Republicans, 37 Demo-crats
and 7 Independents cast their
votes for Kennedy.
Six voted for other candidates
and four were undecided.
Of those voting for Nixon, 163
were voters and 287 were non-voters.
Seventeen voters and 31
non-voters cast ballots for Ken-nedy.
Vic Winquist, chairman of the
Bethel Young DFL said, "I think
there are three things to be noted
in this poll. First is the total num-ber
of votes cast. Five hundred
eight votes is approximately 70
percent of those eligible to vote.
This is a higher percentage than
in most national elections. Second
is the fact that our percentages
agree with polls taken in other
colleges in the area. They tradi-tionally
vote 85 percent conserva-tive.
Third and surprising is the
percentage of Democrats who
would not vote for Kennedy. Of
the total who claimed they were
Democrats, 36 percent voted a-gainst
Kennedy. I think it is a
reasonable assumption that the re-ligious
issue played a major role."
Kenneth Milhaus, chairman of
the campus Young Republicans
commented concerning the results
of the poll of the student opinion
concerning the national elections,
"It is, of course, obvious that the
Bethel student body has chosen
Richard Nixon, the man of exper-ience,
leadership, and proven abil-ity,
as their man for president of
the United States.
"That 36 percent of the Demo-crats
voted for Nixon and only one
percent of the Republicans voted
for Kennedy may reflect the con-cern
of the campus Democrats for
the religious issue.
"This poll shows that approxi-mately
one-third of our students
are voters in this year's election.
Therefore what we do here may
have some effect on the Nov. 8 re-sults.

This sweeping definition can
never be fully realized in a large
society, for if it were, things so-ciety
regarded as criminal or im-moral
might be practiced under
the guise of religion. Bigamy is a
case in point. The sadism of whip-ping
cults is another.
Thus, a complete definition
must go on to qualify the ideal by
discussing the legal limitations
that surround the practice of re-ligion.
It should, if thorough, cite
leading court cases, and for the
United States this involves deci-sions
at both levels of government.
While the law is often subtle, it
is not beyond the understanding
, of the well informed citizen and
affords reading of surprising in-terest.

Coach Healy Sees
Tough B.B. Season
The advance word from basket-ball
coach Gerald Healy is that a
tough season is in store for the
Bethel bucketeers. A combination
of the disappearance of four key
players from last year's champ-ionship
squad and an unquestion-ably
difficult schedule are the
basis for his observations.
The hardcourt ensemble will be
built around the basketball savvy
of five returning lettermen. The
hard-muscle play of captain John
Peterson and Jim Ekblad along
with the finesseful manipulations
of Truman Turnquist should pro-vide
a potent front line. Dick Lar-son's
accurate shooting and pass-ing
combined with the hustle and
drive of Lee Bajuneimi gives the
backcourt personnel who could
Battling an airborne squad in
Northwestern's homecoming game
last Saturday, the Royals ended
their winning streak with a 21-7
The Royals, victors over Milton
and Valley City, were aching for
their third straight win. Display-ing
excellent tackling and blocking
the Royals controlled the game in
the first quarter. Overpowering
Northwestern on the ground they
pulled into an early lead. Jim Nel-son,
who is the leading scorer in
the Badger-Gopher Football Con-ference
with 19 points, sccored the
Royals only touchdown. Ken Baird
ran for the extra point.
Going into the second quarter
the Royals were minus halfback
mean the difference between medi-ocrity
and "par excellence."
Pushing the above for starting
positions will be the fresh incen-tives
from last year's B squad of
Denny Wahlstrom, Dave Peter-man,
and Curt Sanborn.
The absence of a big man in the
preceding lineup may well be over-shadowed
by the steady shooting
and overall speed of the team.
Counted on for extensive reserve
play are freshmen Roger Olson
and Phil Bolinder. At 6'5" and
6'4 1/2 ", respectively, these boys can
prove to be "highly" capable as-sets
as the season progresses.
Additions from the football
team are expected to boost our
Royal chances for victory over
LaCrosse in the first game on Nov.
22 in the Bethel fieldhouse.
Tuffy Bryant, end Dave Hagfeldt,
injured early in the first quarter
and Bill Holzworth still out from
an injury suffered in the Milton
game. With Bethel's power fad-in,
Northwestern was able to
score, tying the game 7-7 by half-time.
The Royals outrushed N.W.W.
223 yards to 117 yards but N.W.W.
gained 108 yards by passing to our
36. This aerial game accounted for
N.W.W. first touchdown and caused
the Bethel squad to lose its poise.
Blasting through the Bethel line,
N.W.W. blocked one punt and
rushed another. This set them up
for their two touchdowns in the
second half.

Royal Harriers Whip
N.W.W. in Home Meet
Bethel's Blue and Gold
Face General Beadle
by Larry Bradshaw
Twenty harriers were present
for Bethel's only "home" cross
country meet at Como Park golf
course on Oct. 19. The thinclads
were faced with the coldest day
of the season, 28 degrees and a
biting wind beside the normal ob-stacles
of hills and distance. The
Royal harriers showed vast im-provement
in conditioning and
mental readiness in whipping
Northwestern, who had previously
defeated them, and threw a great
scare into a fine Macalester team,
finishing only five points behind
the undefeated Scots.
Coach Halleen's seventh hour
gym class deserves credit in their
job of officiating the meet under
the direction of seminarian Dave
Macalester 35
Bethel 40
Northwestern 49
The harriers traveled to North-field
Saturday, Oct. 15 to com-pete
against host St. Olaf and Lu-ther
college (Decorah, Iowa). The
day was bright and calm. Met by a
warm welcome from the Luther-ans,
the harriers prepared for the
meet which was most interesting.
The Oles' course started at the
midpoint of the track around the
football field, at the end of three
hundred yards a hill used as a ski
jump in winter became the first
obstacle, on top of the hill the
course angled over the campus
around into a woods where a trail
was followed and we came upon
the stadium for a distance of 1.6
miles, continuing the same pattern
just finished before the race was
The strong Iowa team went
home with the victory; St. Olaf
had given a good chase and had an
individual win first place. This
left the Royals to the rear. The
day's consolation came when class
status had been checked. Bethel
squad made up of seven frosh and
one sophomore, had raced against
veteran teams. One Royal frosh
had placed fourth.

The Royals will play their
toughest game this season for the
Nov. 5 homecoming game with
General Beadle. According to
Coach Owen Halleen, returning
alumni can expect a real show of
determination and drive on the
part of the Bethel squad, despite
the injuries that have laid aside
Bill Holzworth, Dave Hagfeldt, and
Bob Smith.
This will be the last game for
the blue and gold this season;
judging by the advance reports on
the General Beadle team, an easy
victory is not in store.
A football brochure mailed to
Bethel early in the season reveal-ed
the presence of 16 returning
lettermen on the Beadle's team,
plus the added strength of a few
talented freshmen.
Sparking the Beadle offense will
be left half Mike Vaia, and full-back
Bob Nagle; both players are
fast and tricky. The team itself
is large and has plenty of back-field
If the Bethel students and fac-ulty
put their own team ahead of
Minnesota or Iowa, and lend their
support in enthusiasm Saturday,
the Royals will gain an important
psychological edge. This, coupled
with both the experience and the
last chance to win a home game
this year, may in the end, provide
a Bethel victory.
Coach Halleen enthusiastically
commented, "This is a team that
could potentially beat us, but we
don't expect to lose, we expect
to win."

Story highlights
- Mobile phones are a newer tool for fine artists, some of whom use them exclusively
- Photographer Karen Divine shoots all her award-winning work on her iPhone
- Mixed media artist David Rams says phones give him the freedom to create on the fly
- Last month the L.A. Mobile Arts Festival showcased the work of more than 200 artists
When working on her nude series, artist Karen Divine sometimes joins other photographers at group photo shoots with a model in a studio. She's usually the only woman, and she's usually the only one without a high-powered digital camera.
She always gets funny looks when she joins a group shoot with just her phone. Last week one photographer said to her, "Oh, gee, that works for you?"
In fact, it works quite well for her. She shoots, composites and manipulates all her pieces on her iPhone.
Divine's nude series explores whether a female photographer approaches photographing women differently than the male photographers who dominate the field. The series has not only been recognized as great iPhone work, but it also stacks up well against traditional photography. Her work won two awards in the international Eyephoneography photography competition and won first place in the Fine Art Nude category in the Lucie Awards, an international photography competition.
Since she discovered the potential of the iPhone as a photography and art tool a year and a half ago, Divine has downloaded 50 photography apps and stowed away her bulky cameras that had been invaluable tools in her art career for the past four decades.
"I haven't really shot with my camera since," she said.
Smartphone artwork is increasingly becoming recognized as a viable new media form, providing an opportunity for veterans to expand their style and reach. Mixed media artist David Swann has worked in welding, film and digital photography, printmaking, painting and Photoshop; for him, the iPhone is just another canvas.
"It's not out of disrespect for traditional processes," Swann said. "It's just another way of taking a creative idea and putting it out there for people to share."
His mixed media works might include a photo manipulated on the iPhone, then printed on a canvas and overlaid with acrylic paint.
David Rams, a former photographer for Playboy Magazine who is also now experimenting in mixed media, said he pulls photos taken on his Nikon into his phone and applies filters. Sometimes clients like them more than the full resolution photos. He finds beauty in imperfections: in scars on people and in scratches and overexposure effects of some Instagram filters. For him, app experimentation is like sketching.
"There's no stress," he said. "I don't have a client breathing over my neck."
It also allows him to document his personal life without feeling like he's in work mode, unlike when he has a camera hanging around his neck.
"There are some moments you don't want to be carrying a camera so you can be involved in it, but a cell phone is a lot more spontaneous," Rams said.
All three artists said settling for the lower resolution of the photos was worth the improvisation the iPhone allows. They can grab a shot of a neat cloud formation when running errands, or composite a new piece while waiting in a doctor's office.
It's not only experienced artists playing on their phones. Smartphones and apps provided a platform and tools for creative types who hadn't pursued art because of lack of training or supply funding. Daria Polichetti and her partner, Nate Park, launched the website iphoneart.com in 2010 for mobile artists to upload their portfolios and share techniques with each other. They hosted the L.A. Mobile Arts Festival in August, which they said was the largest gathering of mobile art to date with more than 200 artists' work showcased.
"There were well-known artists alongside soccer moms," Polichetti said. "People from all over the world, from Lebanon, Turkey, Africa, were able to come together in a way that wasn't possible before in the world of art."
Mobile devices have allowed more people to become part of the art world, and both Polichetti and Divine, whose work was featured in the festival and is posted on the site, are welcoming the newcomers.
On Wednesday Polichetti launched an iprint online store where artists sell prints of their work.
"We feed each others' creativity," said Divine, who is teaching her techniques at workshops. "I can teach techniques, but people have to have a vision and work from a place where they can express themselves."
Polichetti said she often hears that mobile artists aren't truly artists because they hit a button to apply a few filters, and it's the app developers who are doing the real work.
"These artists are innovating art at the front of the field and doing things these app creators didn't even know was possible. They're inventing new processes," she said. "It's a real collaboration."

Politicking and the whip race
The three men running for House majority whip hear from their colleagues at all hours of the day — through phone calls, text messages or emissaries.
Before House Republicans throw their support to a candidate, they want to make sure their priorities will be taken care of. That's spurring an intense round of lobbying before Republicans meet Thursday to install a new lawmaker at the leadership table.
Story Continued Below
Committee chairs, who chafed under outgoing Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), want their power back.
( PHOTOS: Peter Roskam's career)
The Pennsylvania delegation wants a man in leadership who respects the Keystone State's size and diversity — and the prime committee assignments that come along with having a 13-member delegation. It also wants a leadership team that won't saddle its delegation — which includes a healthy number of moderates — with a steady stream of red-meat votes.
At the other end of the spectrum, Texas Republicans — dominated by conservatives — want someone at the leadership table looking out for their 24 members.
But most Republicans just want to know they will be taken care of when either Reps. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, Peter Roskam of Illinois or Marlin Stutzman of Indiana becomes whip.
As the race for House majority whip sprints to a close, an intense game of retail politicking is breaking out in the halls of the Capitol. And unlike the past, earmarks and home-state projects are out of style. That leaves lawmakers forming coalitions to leverage their power and make sure that, in this sudden leadership shakeup, their views on key issues are heard before their support is granted.
( PHOTOS: Steve Scalise's career)
Pennsylvania holds one of the strongest hands, right now. The 13 members of its delegation say they want to vote as a bloc, although Roskam's team says it has six members locked down. It has a pretty specific ask, however. Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.) is retiring, and the state wants to keep his seat on the powerful Ways and Means Committee in the family.
"We'd like to," Gerlach said, when asked about the tax-writing committee seat, as he entered a meeting with the whip candidates. "We're always looking for opportunities to move our delegation forward and for opportunities for our members."
After the meeting, Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Pitts said his delegation was roughly evenly split on whom to support for whip.
Both Roskam and Scalise held meetings on Tuesday — and plan more Wednesday — to plot strategy ahead of the Thursday vote.
( Also on POLITICO: Roskam predicts whip success)
On Tuesday, Scalise's internal whip count showed nearly 110 supporters, according to sources familiar with the list, and the number that showed for Roskam was between 90 and 95, sources close to the team said. The central question is how many yes votes Stutzman has, and whether they will go to Scalise or Roskam if no one captures a majority on the first vote.
Just 117 votes are needed to win outright, and Scalise's whip team is the only one of the three that believes it has a chance to win on the first ballot. If no one clears 117 votes — or a majority of Republicans participating in the election — the candidate with the fewest votes will be eliminated and the race will be decided on a second ballot. All of the voting takes place on secret ballots.
Scalise and Roskam are cordial publicly. As Roskam exited a Pennsylvania delegation meeting Tuesday evening, he told Scalise that the crowd was "all warmed up for you." Scalise shook Roskam's hand and told the Illinois Republican that he hopes he "left some [votes] on the table."
But their behind-the-scenes work belies that friendly interaction.

MIDDLEBURY — The District 9 Environmental Commission has awarded Act 250 permits to two separate retirement communities that together will bring almost 300 units of elderly housing to the Middlebury area within the next year and a half.
Environmental commission officials confirmed on Thursday that they had issued permits:
• On Oct. 6 to Eastview at Middlebury, a 101-unit development to be built on 30 acres south of the Porter Medical Center campus off South Street.
• On Oct. 16, to the Lodge at Otter Creek, which will feature 180 units of senior housing on 36 acres off Middle Road.
State statutes allow for appeals of Act 250 permits within 30 days of when they are issued. Only those who have been accorded "party status" during the review period are allowed to file appeals.

MIDDLEBURY — The Foster Brothers Farm in Middlebury has used anaerobic digester technology to turn cow manure into electricity for more than two decades. Now the owners of the farm are helping to create a new company that will act as a broker selling electricity produced on farms around the country to businesses seeking to buy power produced from renewable resources.
"If someone wants to be 'green,' this is a good way to be green," said Robert Foster of Foster Bros. "I encouraged our group to jump on it, because it's something I wanted to champion."
The new company, called AgRefresh and based in Burlington, began when Jeff Frost approached Foster about three years ago with questions about anaerobic digestion systems, like the manure digester Foster Bros. uses. Seeing a potential business opportunity, they took the first steps toward starting a company that would make "green" energy more widespread.
BRISTOL — After a heated public discussion at a meeting Tuesday evening, the Bristol Planning Commission decided to readopt the existing town plan, which expires in December, rather than try to complete an update that has rekindled debate over gravel pits in town.
"It's clear now that we can't get done by Dec. 27," planning commission member Tom Wells said. He added that the commission will continue to work on the update and try to have a new town plan ready by next summer. "We should commit ourselves to a deadline on this," he said.
The commission's vote to readopt came after a 15-minute public comment section at which seven citizens were each given two minutes to speak. Some opposed the language in a draft of the land use section of the town plan revision the commission is working on, some spoke in favor of it.

MIDDLEBURY — U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. was squarely in the spotlight at Middlebury College's Mead Chapel on Tuesday night, but it was Roberts' predecessor, the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who stole most of the headlines.
Speaking in front of an overflow crowd, Roberts credited Rehnquist — a part-time Greensboro resident for whom he clerked — for leading an exceptional life and for bringing more focused legal discourse to the land's highest court.
Middlebury College President Ronald D. Liebowitz paid further homage to the late justice by announcing the establishment of an endowed "William H. Rehnquist Professorship of American History and Culture." Rehnquist had delivered a speech at the college in 1998.

FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh officials say the town has reached a $700,000 deal to buy a 34-acre Route 7 parcel if residents approve the purchase in a vote tentatively set for Dec. 12.
Selectman John DeVos said he — on behalf of a selectboard-appointed task force that also included board chairman Larry Simino — and landowner Clark Hinsdale Jr. of Charlotte both signed a letter of intent last week and that attorneys on both sides have begun preparing a formal purchase-and-sale agreement.
The deal is contingent on selectmen's formal approval as well as voter support. DeVos said the rest of the five-member selectboard believe residents should have the opportunity to weigh in on the land purchase, which will close early next year if backed in December.
Ferrisburgh's on the right path; Midd should follow
Ferrisburgh town selectmen are thinking ahead. Earlier last month the board appointed a committee to study whether the town should buy a key parcel of land that abuts the town elementary school and the planned site of a new town office building and meeting center. The 34-acre parcel, town leaders believe, is so important to the future of the village that the opportunity to buy it — rather than allow a developer to build a handful of houses on it — should not be passed by.
Such a proposal is not inexpensive. The asking price for the farmland owned by the Hinsdale family of Charlotte has been $750,000, and the appraised price is around $650,000.
Benefits to the town include providing extra room for the school to expand; parking for school or town offices; safer access to the school; a new site for a larger post office; playing fields; a town green and other options. Importantly, town officials note, the area is the last large open parcel in the village with good septic soils.
Policy issues aside, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor Matt Dunne has a singular issue that strikes a bipartisan chord: He believes the lieutenant governor's salary of $61,000 per year is significant enough to warrant a full-time effort from the elected candidate. He notes Lt. Gov. Dubie is gone almost two-thirds of the year working as an airline pilot.
He doesn't begrudge Dubie his job as a pilot, and he freely admits that prior public servants in the lieutenant governor's post also worked part-time at other jobs (Howard Dean was a doctor while being lieutenant governor and Doug Racine helped with his family's South Burlington auto dealership, to name two). But he makes two valid points: the position's salary has been raised significantly since Dubie became Lt. Gov., and, more importantly, he wants to serve the state full-time because he believes there is more than enough work to do to help Vermont and Vermonters grow and prosper in the new economy.

VERGENNES — When Elizabeth Ready, executive director of the John Graham Emergency Shelter in Vergennes, asked Middlebury College student Alex Hall what surprised him the most about homelessness in Vermont, he answered, "That there was any."
Since last spring, Hall and about 20 Middlebury students, in groups of three or four at a time, have visited the Vergennes shelter once a week where they cook dinner and socialize. The residents, in turn, have begun to shatter the students' stereotypes of homelessness.
"You think it only exists in urban areas. You think they've chosen not to work, that they're lazy," said student volunteer Andrew Haile. "But really they're great people who've just had some bad breaks."

The guys are right. A housemaster (or housemistress) is somebody who looks after the pupils at a boarding school. Journalism or wizarding supremacy, pure-blood elitism, pure-blood bias are not used as canon terms. Housemaster is a word in the English languaguage like "job" or "television"!

There's been merge templates on the articles for the Heads of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin for as long as I can remember. Maybe we should actually finally settle the matter of whether to merge them in here or not? I'd be for it, personally.

To minimize discomfort, the patient is first given something to relax, and then a metal frame is fitted securely around the patient's head. Because the headframe is rigid and fixed in place with pins, the tumor or lesion can be targeted with exceptional precision using a CT or MRI scan. Three-dimensional planning software is then used to design a treatment that hits the exact shape of the tumor or lesion with an effective dosage of radiation.
The patient is secured in a head holding device on the Gamma Knife treatment table. When the Gamma Knife doors open, moving sectors inside the machine direct the 192 beams of radiation as planned by your physicians. The 192 beams of radiation converge on a single point with an accuracy of within 0.3 millimeters – about the width of a human hair – destroying abnormal tissue without significantly affecting surrounding healthy tissue.
After the procedure, the headframe is removed, and the patient usually can go home and resume normal activities the next day.

Nuxeo's open source Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform has been ratcheted up a notch this week with the availability of two new modules. Both designed to use semantic technologies to automate linked data services, the new code blocks are available on the company's Nuxeo Marketplace EP-based repository — which in itself represents an ECM industry "app store" of sorts.
Nuxeo claims that the two new modules both use semantic technology to extend the body of information available on recognizable data entities in a content repository. They are available as optional extensions to Nuxeo Enterprise Platform (EP), or any of the products and frameworks based on Nuxeo EP, such as Nuxeo DM.
"The Automated Document Categorization" package: allows any Nuxeo EP-based content application to automatically complete document metadata for a newly created document based on the textual content of the electronic file. Metadata such as language, subject, geographic coverage includes elements from the Dublin Core metadata standard and from the Nuxeo application.
When a new document is added, the text is extracted then tokenized and each token counted to perform advanced statistical analysis to suggest the most likely categories for the metadata fields.
"The Semantic Linking" package: provides a call to the open source Apache incubator project now known as "Apache Stanbol." Nuxeo has been an active contributor to this open source OSGi-based RESTful semantic engine project, established under the Interactive Knowledge Stack project (IKS) and formerly known as "FISE." This semantic service analyzes document text to find notable people, places, or organizations using DBPedia, as an online reference knowledge base created from information extracted from Wikipedia.
The semantic engine identifies notable entities within the file text. An entity hub then enables access to related information, such as lists of other repository documents that reference the same entity, and descriptions and images from DBPedia. Entities can also be manually created, or manually linked from a document. News agencies, educational institutions, research firms or any organization needing quick, accurate identification of known personalities, organizations, or places, across large volumes of text, will benefit from this packaged module.
"Nuxeo has been contributing heavily to this exciting initiative and is pleased to see it gain momentum with acceptance as "Stanbol" under the Apache incubator program," notes Eric Barroca, Nuxeo CEO. "This project is important in the evolution of content analytics, because it is available as open source, ensuring semantic linking capabilities can be embedded and used across a broad range of content-enabled applications either online or on-premise inside enterprises."
Nuxeo Marketplace is a directory offering a range of packaged plug-ins, templates and applications created by Nuxeo developers, Nuxeo Galaxy partners, and customers.

It's become double-whammy week for Laguna Beach High athletics.
In the wake of Mike Churchill announcing that he was stepping down as head coach of the school's football team, longtime coach Lance Stewart on Wednesday announced that he was resigning as head coach of the girls' volleyball program.
Churchill, who is the schools' athletic director, said that the girls' volleyball head coaching position is open immediately.
Churchill was replaced Tuesday by Corey Brown as head coach of the Laguna football program.
"Lance is the winningest coach in school history," Churchill said. "He took on the best competition, and beat the best competition. He's done just a great job for this school. He's decided it's time to move on. He has a few business ventures gong on, which take up a lot of his time."
Stewart's record is unmatched in Laguna athletics. He led both the girls' and boys' volleyball programs at the school simultaneously for eight years before stepping down as head coach of the Laguna boys' volleyball program in December, after the conclusion of the 2011season. He was replaced as head coach of the boys' program by Scott Panaro.
He coached the Laguna girls' volleyball program for 12 seasons (1989-90, 2003-2012). During that time, his teams won 10 league championships including eight straight between 2005 and this year. Eleven of those teams earned a final CIF Southern Section ranking of No. 4 or higher. His 2006 and 2007 teams won back-to-back CIF Southern Section Division II-AA titles, and the 2006 squad captured the CIF State Regional Division III title.
Stewart led the Laguna boys' program for 11 years (1988-90, 2004-2011). Eight of his teams won league championships, and each of those eight teams finished with a final CIF Southern Section ranking of No. 5 or higher. The 2010 team won the CIF Southern Section Division II title and that team, along with the 2009 and 2011 teams, won three-consecutive CIF State Regional championships.
Stewart also coached the Corona del Mar girls' volleyball program between 1992-94. He guided the Sea Kings to one league title (1992) and consecutive CIF State and Regional championships in 1992 and 1993.
"The decision was based on a lot of things, and not one thing, in particular," Stewart said of Wednesday's resignation. "Coaching a high school team takes a lot of time. You definitely don't do it for the money. I'll still be coaching, coaching a lot of kids, in fact, and doing what I love."
Stewart has been and will continue to be involved with a few club volleyball ventures: as club director of 900SqFt Volleyball Club in Laguna Beach, as owner and director of volleyball operations for Mavericks Volleyball Club in Corona, and is a partner with Chris Tobolski at VolleyballNOW.net.
A three-sport athlete at Laguna, Stewart (Class of 1981) was a setter on the 1981 team that went undefeated and won a CIF section championship in a season that ended with him being named the CIF Player of the Year.
"It's been enjoyable. I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't," he said of his coaching career at Laguna. "I'm going to miss the kids, most of all. It's been a great ride."

The only bright side to the $4.84 million Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department budget for 2013 is that no current employees will lose their job.
The only bright side to the $4.84 million Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department budget for 2013 is that no current employees will lose their job.
Other than that, the department's police commission passed a 2013 budget that raises the municipal contribution, but technically cuts half an officer and keeps the budget bare bones.
Currently, the department is budgeted for 35 union officers, 38 officers total. However, it lost one officer in 2012 and never replaced him.
Also, in 2013, the Pocono Mountain School District paid for an officer for the district's building. In 2013, the district will only pay half the salary. The department will have to pay the rest.
So while the budget looks as if it is losing half an officer position, it just isn't replacing the one it lost this year.
The last time the department was at 37 officers was in 2005. As late as 2010, the department had 44 officers. Two officers were laid off in the 2012 budget process.
"I don't like to be referred to as a bottom line," Chief Harry Lewis said. "We're not."
The budget caused apologies from both sides — along with some minor finger pointing — but also brought the understanding that there just isn't any money to be had.
As it is, Coolbaugh Township will increase its contribution by about $4,900, Tobyhanna Township by $4,000, Mount Pocono by about $1,500 and Tunkhannock Township by $1,400.
As they discussed the budget, commission members talked about making sure the future of the police department would be viable, and the prospect of someday being forced to dismantle it.
"There's only so much money to go around," said Rich Dorkoski, vice chairman of the Mount Pocono Planning Commission. "It's going to come to a point where someone is going to break. I don't know who will break, but someone will. And it's not going to get better any time soon."
Commission Treasurer Fran DePiano said he was in favor of an alternate budget that did replace the lost officer, as were his township's supervisors, even though the municipality would have been charged another $7,000.
Staffing that low, he said, could prove to be a problem if officers are lost or on disability.
"We're trying to keep us as full as we could," he said.
Some commission members pointed to being hamstrung by fixed costs like wages and benefits, especially the 3 percent raise the department's union officers are contractually obligated to receive this year.
"The officers don't want to give up anything, we don't want to give up anything from our perspective, it's hard," Commission Chairman Roy Gross said.
Commissioner Anne Lamberton said she wanted to see how negotiations go with the union for its 2014 contract before any long-term financial commitments were made.
"It has nothing to do with not wanting more police officers," she said. "We just wanted to stay status quo until we see what happens with (the contract). We're all stressed."

When was the last time you fell in love with a book before reaching page 10? It happened to me last week when I picked up 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff. I'm not fond of telling people that they have to read something, but for all book lovers this book is a compulsory. It all started back in 1949 when Miss Hanff wrote a letter from New York to the Marks & Co. bookshop at 84 Charing Cross Road in London to ask about second-hand books for a reasonable price. What followed was 20 years of correspondence with mainly one of its staff members, Frank Doel. In her third letter, Hanff had dropped the formality and was already expressing her wit and wonderful sense of humour, but it took a bit longer for Frank Doel, the Brit, to do so. This is an extract from her sixth letter in March 1950 (the spelling is hers):
Where is the Leigh Hunt? Where is the Oxford Verse? Where is the Vulgate and dear goofy John Henry, I thought they'd be such nice uplifting reading for Lent and NOTHING do you send me. you leave me sitting here writing long margin notes in library books that don't belong to me, some day they'll find out i did it and take my library card away. (p. 10)
Her complaining, yelling tone just cracks me up. I don't have Hanff's courage to write margin notes in library books, but I mark sentences and passages with an x or a vertical line in mine.
Hanff's 84 Charing Cross Road is 95 pages long; a quick read. Most of the letters are simply delightful and then there are a few, at least one, that will break your heart. I won't say more. Not only did Hanff send letters, she also sent food parcels (meat and eggs) to the staff members to express her gratitude for the books she was receiving. The correspondence started in post-war Britain and the rationing appalled her. In the beginning, the staff would hold on to the books she was interested in and ask her in a letter if she still wanted them. This was what she wrote to them in September 1950 from her apartment on 14 East 95th St.:
Never wonder if I've found something somewhere else, I don't look anywhere else any more. Why should I run all the way down to 17th St. to buy dirty, badly made books when I can buy clean, beautiful ones from you without leaving the typewriter? From where I sit, London's a lot closer than 17th Street. (p. 15)
The book reminds me of another delightful read, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer, which I talked about in another blog post. When I finished reading these two I kept them close to my heart for just a few seconds. That's how much I loved them.
My edition of 84 Charing Cross Road includes the sequel The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, which is about her trip to London (the illustration on the cover is by Sarah McMenemy). I wouldn't even consider reading the former without having the latter ready. After finishing the book I wanted more of Hanff, so I ordered Letter from New York. I got a used copy, which should arrive soon. I also found an audio version of 84 Charing Cross Road on YouTube, which I have already listened to twice while doing house chores. Then there is a film from 1987, starring Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins, which I haven't seen.
If it's raining this is the perfect book to read under a blanket with a cup of coffee or tea and simply get lost in the delightfulness. I recommend having a stationery ready because after the reading you probably want to catch up on your correspondence. By that I don't mean emails.

FILE *pmRecordSetup(const char * folio , const char * creator , int replay );
int pmRecordAddHost(const char * host , int isdefault , pmRecordHost ** rhp );
int pmRecordControl(pmRecordHost * rhp , int request , const char * options );
Each record mode ``session'' involves one or more PCP archive logs each created using a dedicated pmlogger (1) process, with an overall Archive Folio format as understood by pmafm (1), to name and collect all of the archive logs associated with a single recording session.
The pmRecordHost structure is used to maintain state information between the creator of the recording session and the associated pmlogger process(es). The structure is defined as:
typedef struct { FILE *f_config; /* caller writes pmlogger configuration here */ int fd_ipc; /* IPC channel to pmlogger */ char *logfile; /* full pathname for pmlogger error logfile */ pid_t pid; /* process id for pmlogger */ int status; /* exit status, -1 if unknown */ } pmRecordHost;
The routines are used in combination to create a recording session as follows.
pmRecordSetup returns a stdio stream onto which the application should write the text of the required replay configuration file, if any.
If this host is the default host for this recording session, then isdefault should be non-zero. This will ensure that the corresponding archive appears first in the PCP archive folio, and hence the tools used to replay the archive folio will make the correct determination of the archive associated with the default host. At most one host per recording session may be nominated as the default host.
The calling application should write the desired pmlogger configuration onto the stdio stream returned via the f_config field in the pmRecordHost structure.
An argument may be added for a particular pmlogger instance identified by rhp , or if the rhp argument is NULL the argument is added for all pmlogger instances that will be launched in the current recording session.
Independent of any calls to pmRecordControl with a request of PM_REC_SETARG , each pmlogger instance will automatically be launched with the following arguments: -c , -h , -l , -x and the basename for the PCP archive log.
An informative dialog is generated directly by each pmlogger process and hence note the comments on the disposition of output from pmlogger below.
Alternatively, pmlogger can be started with options to limit the duration of logging, e.g. the -T or -s arguments, in which case there is no need to call pmRecordControl with a request of PM_REC_OFF and no dialog is generated.
The display is generated directly by each pmlogger process and hence note the comments on the disposition of output from pmlogger below.
An informative dialog is generated directly by each pmlogger process and hence note the comments on the disposition of output from pmlogger below.
The calling application should not close any of the returned stdio streams; this will be done by pmRecordControl when recording is commenced.
Once pmlogger has been started for a recording session, then pmlogger will assume responsibility for any dialog with the user in the event that the application that launched the recording session should exit, particularly without terminating the recording session.
By default, information and dialogs from pmlogger will be displayed using pmquery (1) on the assumption that most applications wishing to launch a recording session are GUI-based. In the event that pmquery fails to display the information (for example, because the DISPLAY environment variable is not set), pmlogger will write on its own stderr stream ( not the stderr stream of the launching process); the output will be assigned to the XXXXXX.host. log file described in the FILES section below. For convenience, the full pathname to this file is provided via the logfile field in the pmRecordHost structure.
If the options argument to pmRecordControl is not NULL, this string may be used to pass additional arguments to pmquery (1) in those cases where a dialog is to be displayed. One use of this capability would be to provide a -geometry string to control the placement of the dialog.
Premature termination of a launched pmlogger process may be determined using the pmRecordHost structure, by calling select (2) on the fd_ipc field or polling the status field that will contain the termination status from waitpid (2) if known, else -1.
pmRecordSetup may return NULL in the event of an error. Check errno for the real cause, but the value EINVAL typically means that the order of calls to these routines is not correct (there is obvious state associated with the current recording session that is maintained across calls to these routines). For example the following calls would produce this EINVAL error; calling pmRecordControl before calling pmRecordAddHost at least once, or calling pmRecordAddHost before calling pmRecordSetup .
pmRecordControl and pmRecordAddHost both return 0 on success, else a value less than 0 suitable for decoding with pmErrStr (3) on failure. The value -EINVAL has the same interpretation as errno being set to EINVAL as described above.
pmRecordControl will return PM_ERR_IPC if the associated pmlogger process has already exited.

The African Identity: Am I African enough?
When I settled on doing this article, I did not anticipate the effort that would be required in developing the necessary arguments and content. I had underestimated the amount of time and research I would need to be able to justify the absence or presence of an African Identity. Regardless, I had to do it; I considered it extremely necessary.
Sometimes in February, a prominent Kenyan writer and African icon Binyavanga Wainaina came out; the reactions in the Kenyan media as well as barbershop conversations and roadside gatherings were full of hatred leaning to extremism. Among the arguments against his public disclosure was that homosexuality is un-African?
I have been largely puzzled by this un-African tag. It somehow points to the existence of a creation that defines what it means to be or not to be African. It also legitimizes behavior using a set of rules and guidelines based on nothing more than an "African" code of conduct. I am also similarly puzzled when I hear western-raised individuals declare themselves true Africans; or when young people are criticized of having lost touch with their African roots.
Is anyone able to mentally grasp the African identity? Does being African mean anything beyond the borders that shape our continent? Should African be defined in comparison with others, or should it be based on inherent qualities that make up our "African-ness"?
I consulted a few friends and a couple of secondary sources of information, I have to say to the best of my knowledge, I was not able to find one thing that was cross cutting. Some were very protective of the black skin; some argued that it was in our culture, while others confined the African identity to be purely determined by our borders, someone else said our African identity can only be seen through the eyes of a third party. But the one thing that came very close to convincing me of its existence was; "we have retained our cultural perspective more than other people, this has shown its head in almost all our industries and aspects of life…we are a very united group (kinship ties) we feel obligated to help out and to identify with our kinship no matter how educated we might be".
Regardless, in these contemporary times my idea of Africa is purely a creation of the media, mostly western. The image of African has been tainted by poverty and misery; malnourished dark skinned children hanging on to their lives (dry lips, gouging eyes, flies jumping around their dry mucus-covered noses covered); or better yet, dark-skinned, mean looking men, carrying high caliber rifles looking like they have never smiled in their entire lives. They all portray an image of something I do not want to be associated with; no one does.
In the end, I guess we are Africans purely because we are, and there is nothing more to it than the continent you were born on. Everything else to me is purely constructed from a rather condescending characterization.

Hybrid C/C++ Plugins
So C is cumbersome and you would like to use the C++ API, but you must provide total binary compatibility. What a conundrum. Fortunately, the Hybrid C/C++ plugin is just the ticket. It provides C compatibility with a C++ API via ActorBaseTemplate. It also cuts down significantly on the plugin initialization code by using PluginHelper. The plugin registers two monsters: GnarlyGolem and PsychicPiranea. Both derive from ActorBaseTemplate and both implement the C++ IActor interface, but GnarlyGolem is actually talking in C to the PluginManager while PsychicPiranea is talking C++.
Example 8 contains the definitions of both classes. You can see how compact and clean they look. There is no need for the create() or destroy() static methods anymore (ActorBaseTemplate takes care of it). The only difference between the two is that PsychicPiranea specifies the IActor as the second template parameter for ActorBaseTemplate. This is the infamous Interface parameter, which is C_Actor by default.
class GnarlyGolem : public ActorBaseTemplate<GnarlyGolem> { public: GnarlyGolem(PF_ObjectParams *); // IActor methods virtual void getInitialInfo(ActorInfo * info); virtual void play(ITurn * turnInfo); }; class PsychicPiranea : public ActorBaseTemplate<PsychicPiranea, IActor> { public: PsychicPiranea(PF_ObjectParams *); // IActor methods virtual void getInitialInfo(ActorInfo * info); virtual void play(ITurn * turnInfo); };
PsychicPiranea could have been been derived from IActor directly, just like KillerBunny and StationarySatan in the C++ plugin. The reason it derives from ActorBaseTemplate is threefold:
- It saves you from write create()/destroy() static methods
- It lets you switch quickly between C and C++ if you deploy the same plugins in different situations
- So I can demonstrate this cool capability
This is really cool because between the automatic adaptation of C objects by the PluginManager and the nice C++ wrapper that ActorBaseTemplate provides, application developers and plugin developers can be blissfully ignorant of the C that flows between them. The only developers who should be concerned with the C/C++ dualism are the object model developers. If your system is a serious platform, then the object model will congeal sooner or later. Then everyone can forget about C and just extend the application that's built on top of the object model and write lots of plugins -- all in C++.
The implementation of GnarlyGolem and PsychicPiranea is of typical C++ plugin implementations. GnarlyGolem is C under the covers, but it doesn't care.
Listing Five is the initialization code of the hybrid plugin. There are more #include statements than code. (I kid you not. Count them. This is as close to a domain-specific language as it gets -- without macros, anyway.) You define a PluginHelper object and call registerObject() for each object. No need for annoying structs with lots of function pointers, no need for error checking. Pure simplicity. In the end, return the result.
#include "wrapper_plugin.h" #include "plugin_framework/plugin.h" #include "plugin_framework/PluginHelper.h" #include "GnarlyGolem.h" #include "PsychicPiranea.h" extern "C" PLUGIN_API PF_ExitFunc PF_initPlugin(const PF_PlatformServices * params) { PluginHelper p(params); p.registerObject<GnarlyGolem>((const apr_byte_t *)"GnarlyGolem"); p.registerObject<PsychicPiranea>((const apr_byte_t *)"PsychicPiranea", PF_ProgrammingLanguage_CPP); return p.getResult(); }
There is one nit to pick. When registering the PsychicPiranea, you need to specify PF_ProgrammingLanguage_CPP (the default is PF_ProgrammingLanguage_C). The programming language can be gleaned automatically from the PsychicPiranea class itself because it passed the programming language as the Interface parameter to the ActorBaseTemplate. However, this requires some template meta-programming tricks (type detection) and I'm running out of scope quickly. Here is a quick link if you're curious: www.ddj.com/cpp/184402050.
