Professionally, Tina Mellon has been in the business of helping people find homes since 2005. Personally, it began earlier in college, where she volunteered her time to build homes with Habitat for Humanity, and worked to empower at-risk youth who lived in poverty-stricken homes. Her experiences with families and children in these settings emphasized the true importance of a home. A house becomes the place where memories are made and foundations are built. Tina wanted to help others obtain that reality.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee in 2004. Armed with her desire to serve others, a sense of integrity, and a strong work ethic, she excelled in the multi-family home industry leasing and managing apartment communities. Her desire to have more of an impact led her to focus on the military and their families. Tina worked on Camp Pendleton helping the Service Members relocate their families from various parts of the globe, and coordinated their housing needs. The greatest reward was knowing a Service Member's relief when they found a home for their family to live while they served our country, or helping a family set up a home to welcome their soldier back from deployment.
For over 10 years, Tina has resided and worked in northern San Diego, from the coast to the inland communities. Her knowledge of the area is vast, and her drive to help people meet their real estate goals is just as strong. As your dedicated Realtor®, Tina is motivated to work with you in putting your best foot forward in selling your house, or helping you find the right place to call home. Give Tina a call today to see how she can help you! 760-814-0255

Last year, Bennett was suspended failing to work and play well with others. This year, there is the possibility of a holdout, which seems to have diminished like his chances of getting more money.

"A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever."~ Helen Rowland
CNN recently reported on the continued search for Sasquatch, The Abominable Snowman. Uncle Harry was at my house reading the same story in the local newspaper. He was so tickled by the large Sasquatch footprint photograph that he cut it out and hung it on my refrigerator with tape, waiting for a reaction from Uncle Dick, who was expected to arrive for dinner any minute. These two single seniors in my life like to prank each other and have never quite grown up into manhood.
Apparently, way back when Christ was a Corporal and the two of them attended their Senior Prom, Harry's date Matilda earned the nickname "Sasquatch" when she poured her size 24 self into a size 18 ½ brown chenille A-line gown, complete with large gaudy feathered accessories, for the Prom.
They traveled to the dance in an old Ford Roadster. Matilda weighing in at 240 lbs. had to literally back into the car to get into position for the seat. Dick's date looked more like Olive Oyl, in her size 5 spinach-green Edwardian-style gown.
After Harry finished waltzing Matilda and before the night was over, she had literally punctured the floorboard in the Ford with her high-heels. Harry swore that there was no necking room inside the car and that he had to stretch like a deer forging for figs, to reach her face in the moonlight.
He noticed that you could actually see the dirt road whizzing by though the holes in the floorboard on the way home. So, he went to the local bakery and talked the head baker into selling him a sheet pan to cover the damaged floor in the car. The next day, he and Dick repaired the floor and hid the pan with a throw-rug for future use.
Dick told him that he should seriously consider dating thinner women, but Harry wouldn't listen. In later years, Dick would tell Harry that all those "No Hazmat" signs on the highway were there because of his old dates, rotted floorboards, and general taste in women. As I recall, Harry's ex-wife actually did look like an Abominable Snowman in her wedding dress. Her maid of honor wore a gown that rivaled Tula's bridesmaids in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
Just then, the doorbell rang. Dick came in with a bottle of Chardonnay and a case of Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat that he promptly put in the refrigerator. He immediately saw the photograph of the alleged Sasquatch footprint.
"Harry, you never told me that you took Tildy out for a barefoot walk on the beach on Prom night," he said.
One story led to another and they had me laughing all night. I figured that "Transporting Sasquatch" would make a great episode for Shipping Wars.
I've never been quite sure if Helen Rowland, author of The Rubaiyat of a Bachelor, actually knew my Uncles Harry and Dick.

Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. February 14, 1947
AS ROSY Pastors Return for Founders' Week SEES IT
Debate learns Theme Is "Foundation Standeth"
get HighRating Noted Speakers Will Take Part
Pastors from the General Conference Churches all over America
will be returning to Bethel next week for Founder's Week. Back at
their old College and Seminary they will take part in discussions on
church problems, attend a refresher Bible course and listen to messages
from some of the leading theologians.
The theme for the week is "The Foundation of God standeth sure,"
a verse taken from II Tim. 2:19.
By Rosenquist
As we go to press, it seems as
if the nation is more satisfied with
President Truman than ever be-fore.
According to the latest Gal-lup
poll 48% of the people think
he is doing a good job. That is 16
points higher than it was in Octo-ber.
In fact the Democrats like
him so much they have announced
intentions of running him for a
second term. Meanwhile Truman
is planning a goodwill visit to Mex-ico
soon,. He will make the trip by
air but this doesn't worry Harry.
He explains that if you're going
to get it, you're going to get it.

Dime Week to
Aid $1500 Goal
Today marks the close of Dime
Week, opened by the Missionary
Band in the Chapel service last
Friday. The appeal was made to-wards
the Band's $1,500 budget,
and took the form of a collection
of all spare dimes in strategical-ly
placed jars throughout t h e
In launching the scheme, Roy
Nelson, Band Treasurer, revealed
that although the $500 commitment
had been paid to Jorhat Bible
School, scarcely half of the budget
had thus far been realized. The
goal set for the year included two
further sums of $500 each to pur-chase
photographic equipment for
the General Conference's North
Bank and China areas.
Choruses Sing,
Bergman Plays
Members of the faculty and the
choruses were responsible for the
Convocation program of music and
readings on February 11.
Miss LaVone Berthel gave a
group of poems centered around
Abraham Lincoln, including Lin-coin
by Edwin Markham and ex-cerps
from Walt Witman's, When
Lilacs Last in the Dooryard
Mr. Theodore Bergman, proles-or
of music, played two groups of
piano numbers, comprising works
of M o z a r t, Schumann, Chopin,
Liszt, and Rachmaninoff.
The Girls' Chorus and the Male
Chorus contributed to the program.
The only junior college represen-ted
among 70 registered teams;
Bethel received an "Excellent" ra-ting
at the Red River Valley
speech contest held at Concordia
College, Moorhead, last week. Two
debate teams, accompained by
Miss Berthel, made the trip and
participated in debate and extem-poraneous
Team one, composed of Harold
Christenson and Lee Kingsley, won
four out of six contests, losing the
other two by only one point each.
Among their victims were St.
Thomas and Concordia, considered
to be top teams in this area. Team
one lacked one point of "Superior"
Team two, Earl Hoagberg and
Donald Decker, won two out of six
debates, three of their losses being
by one point each.
Harold Christenson placed third

A foretaste of applied psy-chology
was given the psycho-class
last Saturday when Prof.
Engwall administered the Stan-ford
personality test to his pu-pils.
Results will not be known
for some time, as it is neces-sary
to check each paper at
least four times. As in other
related tests, there are no right
or wrong answers ; measure-ment
being of degree along six
dimensions of personality.
A feature of the week is the in-clusion
of the special courses for
pastors. The morning discussion,
which will be led by Prof. Edwin
Omark, with the assistance of Dr.
K. J. Karlson, Profs. E. Sabel, A.
Pearson and A. Olson, will deal
with church problems such as the
pastor's prayer life, revivals, or-dinations
and problems of churbh
membership. In the afternoon
Prof. Reuben Omark will conduct
a course of Bible Study.
Main speakers will include Dr.
William H. Wrighton, former Pres-ident
of Western Seminary and
noted Keswick speaker; Dr. Alvin
G. Hause, of Bales Avenue Baptist
Church, Kansas City, Missouri and
Dr. Paul Rees, of First Covenant
Church, Minneapolis. Other addres-ses
will be given by Dr. Herbert

What is the true meaning for which a Valentine is the symbol?
Maybe it begins with the attractiveness of the Valentine itself. A frilly
red card with a sentimental verse:
"There is love in this Valentine darling,
There are lots of sweet thoughts in it, too;
And it's wishing the best of life's blessings
In a special way just for you."
Perhaps it is the appeal to a lighter vein—a lilting, rolicking, hum-orous
"I get to thinkin"bout ya
And I gaze at the stars above,
Feelin' mopey, actin' dopey
Do you think it could be—sumpin' I et?"
It might be things remembered : the corners of the land, the houses,
the people each one loves. Messages to friends, family, loved ones—a
way to express deeply-felt emotions that are difficult to say, except
when sentimental, heart-warming Valentine's Day makes it easier.
"Hey, Mom, I've got some inside dope
I think you ought to know—
It's something I found out about
A long, long time ago,
I've not said much about it
But I think it's time you knew
The sweetest and the swellest Mom
In all the world is YOU!"
What is the meaning of Valentine's Day? The Valentine is the
symbol of love and affection; we must keep alive the sweet old-fash-ioned
custom, thoughtfulness, remembrance, friendship—all are mir-rored
in "Be My Valentine."
"A Valentine's not always
A poem on fancy paper;
With bright red hearts and Cupid's darts,
And love-birds all a-caper.
A Valentine's often a part
Of someone's kindly, loving heart."

Dear Editor,
Have you noticed during the
past year in your travels how ram-shackled
our barns and graineries
are? During the past year 40,000
barns went without paint because
of the women using so much lip
stick. It's barn paint no matter
what it is on. During this winter
our machinery will continue to
rust and corrode because of the
15,000 gallons of nail paint wasted
this past year by our "glamour
I am sure that a realization of
facts such as these together with
the realization that its use lessens
the effectiveness of their testi-mony
and their personal appear-ance
would cause women to imme-diately
quit wearing this so-called
enhancing grease.
Your friend,
The old timer

Course Addition
It is a shameful fact that minis-ters
of the Gospel are being gradu-ated
from theological seminaries—
including our own — with only a
rudimentary knowledge of the pre-mises
and conclusions on which
one of Christianity's chief enemies,
Pseudo-science, bases its attack.
The facts of paleontology as relat-ing
to the theory of evolution are
only touched upon in passing in
some of the courses and only suf-ficient
facts uncovered to sow the
seeds of doubt.
The impression given is that
Christianity does not dare stand
up and battle its enemies on the
field of science nor to contradict
their juggling facts. The world has
thus come to believe that our faith
is a matter of "believeing some-thing
you know ain't so," and
Christians are too often given to
thinking that they have no weapon
except a closed mind with which
to fight back.
Now that Bethel is expanding
and adding new courses it would
be highly advisable to add a com-petent
course in paleontology. Ad-mittedly
this would be a novel
step, but novelty is not in itself
wrong. It is also probable that
such a course would not be ac-credited
by secular universities,
but our college and seminary are
a self-contained unit and do not
exist for the prime purpose or
granting credits.

By President Wingblade
The most brilliant mind perhaps
of the whole Elizabethan era set
f or t h three fruits of friendship
thus: relief for the pent up feel-ings
of the heart; clarification for
the intellect; and then "another
self." In short, it would concern
the heart, the head, and the hand.
Opening the heart to a faithful
friend will double a joy and cut
a sorrow in half; talking a matter
over with a friend will tend to
bring added light for any question.
Finally, a friend is one who can
laudably do for one what one
could not laudably do for himself.
For instance, a man in dire finan-cial
straits could hardly ask others
to help, but a friend will even do
himself honor in soliciting help for
the other.
Great men h a v e ever craved
friendship. Michael Angelo was
said to be the loneliest man in
Italy—it was the loneliness of gen-ius.

Bethel students singing choruses
on street cars as a testimony to
the rest of the passengers?
Jan Carlson: I'm entirely in favor
of it when the choruses which
are sung have a real direct
Christian testimony.
Wallace Olson: There is a ques-tion
about the value of the ef-fect
made on the passengers. It
should be done with forethought.
Audrey Lyth: If it is done in a
prayerful attitude and not with
the idea of just being seen and
heard it is all right.
Bob Haring: It can be overdone.
Kenneth Carlson: If there are en-ough
students to make it effec-tive,
it's all right.
Eula Weaver: I think it's a good
idea. One night I got on the
street car and a gospel team was

Phone Buzzers
Trouble Girls
In Dormitory
Have you heard a buzzer in the
dorm? It's an experience you can't
forget—at least I can't. Everytime
the buzzer rings it startles me, ev-en
though it's always for my room-mate.
Not that I like to get calls, but
it must be fun to yell at the oper-ator,
"What floor can I take it on?"
My roomate usually has a hard
time getting to the phone. We
have a Dagwood-Blondie relation-ship.
I grab her housecoat and
she runs into it; I open the door
and she runs out. Usually I fol-low
at a discreet distance and get
to the phone about the same time
she does. I sometimes think my
main purpose for being there is
to protect my roommate from fre-quent
showers given by other im-patient
girls who always want to
use the phone.
But that happens every night,
and something unusual just hap-pened
so I'll have to leave. My

Full-Time Work
In His Service
Often on the campus we hear
people ask, "Have you been called
into full time Christian service?"
If people would only stop to think
about it, every Christian should
be in full time service for Him.
Christ has no respect for people
who only want to be part-time
Christians or He would have al-lowed
the rich young ruler to keep
part of his wealth, or another
young man to go bid farewell to
his family, or still another to go
bury his father.
It is not enough to accept Christ
as Savior and to sit back compla-cently
doing nothing to help Him.
If we are genuinely saved, we will
ask the Lord's guidance in every-thing.
We will be growing con-stantly
closer to Him, and conse-quently
we will be witnessing to
more people about His saving
Grace. In this respect we will 'be
full time workers for Him.
How can a person give his
heart to the Lord, but keep back
his life? The rich young ruler
wanted eternal life, but he was not
willing to go all the way. Maybe
it is time to take an inventory of
our life to see if we, too, would go
away grieved.
What about your vocational
goals? Have you consulted Christ?

I had walked life's path with an

none for my soul,
I had entered to win on life's mad

Jaw close did v.aft Niue lociaf?
How close did you-live to your Lord today,
As you traveled o'er life's treacherous way?
Did the setting sun find vict'ries won,
Or regrets for the things that should have been done?
As you faced your goal, did you leave a soul
In the darkness without a word,
Or did the message bright set a face alight
As the gospel of love is heard.
That neighbor boy without the joy
Of Christ might never know
A realization of God's Salvation
Unless you tell him so.
How close did you live to your Lord today,
As you traveled o'er life's treacherous way?
Why wait for tomorrow when Jesus in sorrow
Is pleading for souls today?

The presence of quite a number
of instrumentalists on the campus
gave rise to the idea of organizing
a band a few weeks ago. A check

showed that a good se-lection
was available thus insur-ing
a well balanced organization.
With the approval of the school,

The band still lacks some in-struments
such as oboes, bassoons,
and a tuba. Players for these in-struments
are available, however,
and it is hoped that some means
will be found to obtain a few of
the lacking pieces. At last re-ports,
there appeared to be an oboe
available for rental, a lead that is
to be investigated promptly.
This is the first band of this
size to be organized at Bethel for
some years. Director Anderson em-phasizes
that it is not a pep band

tJliale Chorus
Keeps Busy
The Bethel Male Chorus has
been kept busy during the past
two weeks. On January 31, it made
its second appearance at the First
Baptist Church in Minneapolis at
a servicemen's banquet. It also
took part in the Convocation pro-gram
last Tuesday evening in the
college chapel. A scheduled trip
to Willmar, Minnesota on February
8 was cancelled in the last minute
due to bad weather and road con-ditions.
Plans for the annual trip in the
spring are well under way now.
It will probably take place either
in the first or the third week after
Easter. No definite itinerary has
b e en announced yet, but it is
known that the long-awaited West
Coast tour will not take place this
year. This year's trip will be of
one week's duration and will not

men of God.
The success of "Precious Hiding
Place" and "Every Day With Jes-us"
in recent years has carried the
name of Wendell P. Loveless into
national prominence in the realm
of Christian. music.
"Neither Mrs. Loveless nor I was
saved at the time of our marriage
in 1920. While we were members
of a church in good standing, our
real interests were in the things
of the world. One day, during that
year, while playing with our two-year-
old son, the Holy Spirit sud-denly
spoke to my heart, and the
thought came to my mind that I
was not living a very good life be-fore
my boy; that. I must set him
a better example. That was the
first definite thought I had given
to spiritual things. Immediately I
found an old Bible and began to
read the New Testament. I began
to lose interest in my worldly pur-suits
and companions.
"After several weeks of Bible
reading there flashed through my
mind that glorious thought that
Christ had died for my sins. I can-not
express in words the joy and
peace which flooded my soul as
that realization took possession of
me. Following my conversion, I
could see how step by step I was
being prepared for distinct service
in the gospel ministry.
"After a year of waiting upon
the Lord for His leading, an invi-tation
came to join the staff of
the Moody Bible Institute, with
which it has been my privilege to
be associated since January, 1926.
Mrs. Loveless accepted Christ
within a year after my conversion.
God has given us a blessed Chris-tian
home, with three sons who are
trusting Jesus Christ as Saviour,
and it is our earnest prayer that
they may be led out into definite
Christian service."
Of his song writing, Mr. Love-less
says this: "I have composed
gospel songs and choruses simply
because I could not help it. The
Lord has given me eternal life as
a free gift of His grace, and I love
to sing about the Lord Jesus and
His wonderful grace to me. I love
to get other people singing about
Him, too."

Who are these so-called "hot-shot"
players of these intramural
basketball games which are being
played every Friday afternoon?
Are they the stars of yesterday on
their own home-town courts? Did
they create a stir and a murmur of
admiration within the gallery
crowd of their hometown folks
when they came flitting out on the
hardwood courts? Were they the
heroes of those over-time games
that were being played for state
championship? And were they the
coach's choice for a starting posi-tion
at every scheduled game?
I have my doubts about many of
these intramural flashes as to their
supremacy on their high school
team. No coach cares to use a
player who dribbles from one end
of the court to the other with op-ponents
hovering all around when
there is a forward directly below
the basket begging for the ball.
Why should I be so harsh when
I refer to some of the boys who are
out playing purely for the immedi-

our forefathers brought forth in
room 105 a new set of chairs, con-ceived
in Grand Rapids and dedi-cated
to the proposition that notes
are to be taken in psychology.
Now we are engaged in a great
carving war, testing whether these
chairs, or any other chairs so con-ceived
and so dedicated, can long
endure. We are met on a great
stamping-ground of that war. We
have come to dedicate a portion
of these desks as a final resting
place for our initials.
But in a larger sense, we cannot
dedicate, we cannot initial, we can-not
further scarify these desks.
The bored students, graduated and
flunked, who slept here have de-corated
them far above our poor
power to add or to find space.
The world will little note, nor
long remember, what we write
here, but it can never forget what
they carved here. It is rather for
us, the undergraduates, to be here
dedicated to the task of revarnish-ing

ate pleasure they receive from the
game? Why should it matter how
someone acts during one of these
Friday afternoon contests? There
is nothing at stake except maybe a
little team pride that is built up
during the progress of the season.
Those of you who have played
on some sort of a basketball team
know what I mean when I say that
it is no fun just galloping back and
forth up and down the court wish-ing
that the ball-hog would pass.
Of course I can see the reason
for anyone not passing to me, I'd
lose it in short order anyway, so
I . am therefore writing for those
who can handle the ball proficient-ly
enough to pass, receive and reg-ister
a score now and then.
I believe that most of those fifty
or so players who turn out every

with their fellow-students are not
there because of the glory they
might receive from playing the

Life in the dormitories has ap-parently
continued in a placid, nor-mal
fashion for the past few
weeks. A careful examination of
reports from spies stationed in
each of the dormitories fails to
reveal anything of importance ex-cept
the fact that despite mid-quar-ters
et al pranksters have been
faithful to their self-appointed job
of making life interesting.
Consider t h e following extract
from one report: "Edith Johnson
woke up one night and thought
that snow was falling on her. She
soon discovered, however, that it
was only rice krispies being dump-ed
on her. When she got up next
morning, she found that her shoes
had received something of a sim-ilar
treatment besides being glued
to the floor."
Another girl, unnamed in the re-port,
apparently found herself in
the clutches of some of her friends
one evening. On finding out that
the bathtub was the ultimate des-tination
,she found some super-hu-man
strength somewhere and es-caped
by "running wildly from the
lounge—minus her shoes." It is
known that she got them back, but
there seems to be quite some spec-ulation
as to how.
Over in the Men's Dormitory, in-terest
is now centered on the de-liberations
of the Dormitory Coun-cil
which is preparing a new set
of rules for the residents. It is ex-pected
that these rules will be pre-sented
to a meeting of the men

on Bethel's floor February 11.
The game was perhaps one of
the cleanest of the season in which
there were only five fouls. Four
fouls were made by the St. Fran-cis
team and one by Bethel. The
score was nearly even throughout
the game.
Doris Richerts, one of Bethel's
"hotshots" scored high again with

with six points and Eunice Peter-son

of thirty-two points.

two quarter.
The game was a fast and furious
one from beginning to end. The
score at the half was 25-19 with

half the Indians' trails were twist-ed
as the Comets streaked in to

advantage. Their top-notch

worked with consistent coopera-tion

After three public meetings and two staff sessions, the revised beach activities ordinance will come before Walton County commissioners Jan. 8.
SANTA ROSA BEACH � After three public meetings and two staff sessions, the revised beach activities ordinance will come before Walton County commissioners Jan. 8.
From beach vendors to dogs to tents left on the beach, �you�ve got everything to do with the beach in one ordinance,� County Administrator Gerry Demers said.
The ordinance was revised to make sure it is clear, understandable, and enforceable, Demers said.
�It�s only to clarify,� he said. �Not to make any changes the public or staff wants to make.�
The biggest change in the draft concerns �whether they want to allow visitors to have pets on the beach,� said Demers, who presided over the three public workshops to review the changes, �The only real big one is the one about the dogs.�
If the county votes to allow dogs on the beach � something Demers said the Tourist Development Council and the public support � visitors would pay about $75 for a 30-day pass. The specific amount has not been set yet.
Permits for residents� dogs are $30 a year.
Another clarification will deal with beach vendors. Some visitors at the third public workshop at the South Walton Courthouse Annex were concerned about protecting the beach while others wanted to protect businesses.
Sharon Maxwell, head of the South Walton Turtle Watch, wanted to make sure turtles would have room to nest near the white vendor boxes.
�Stacks and stuff must be 10 feet apart,� she said.
She also wanted beachgoers to be asked not to set up before 7 a.m. during nesting season from May 1 to Oct. 31 to give Turtle Watch volunteers time to identify and mark nests.
The beach vendors at the meeting did not find that troubling. However, they were vexed that a ban on the use of electricity in vendor huts was kept in the regulations. The vendors use electricity primarily for credit and debit card transactions.
Demers said any permits for running electricity to the beach must go through the state.
�We legally can�t issue a permit to allow you to do that,� he said.
Violations will be met with a fine rather than expulsion from running a business on the beach.
In other discussion, the South Walton Fire District stated that bonfires are not allowed directly on the sand. If a group wants to have a bonfire, the cost for a 24-hour permit is $50, and the fire district must approve the container for burning the wood beforehand.
Fire District spokesman Sammy Sanchez said �anything that launches into the air and explodes is illegal,� but fireworks will be allowed only with a $100 permit per event.
Changes to beach driving permits will be minimal. The most notable revision would be that the fee for charter vehicles will increase from $125 to $200, not including a $10 processing fee. Fifteen charter vehicles permits will be available annually. If more are applications come in, a lottery will be used to award the permits.
Also, all items must be removed from the beach by sunset. If a resident wants to leave chairs, a kayak or difficult-to-remove items, he or she can seek a permit, although the general rule is that everything must be removed.
The County Commission will consider final approval of the beach regulations at its meeting at 4 p.m. Jan. 8 at the courthouse annex.

Dakota Johnson's 'Fifty Shades Freed' Wardrobe Secret Sounds Painful
Ouch? Fifty Shades Freed star Dakota Johnson wore a sticky strapless thong during sex scenes. The actress' wardrobe secret comes after her costar Jamie Dornan shared that he wore a "little pouch" during their steamy scenes.
"It's super not glamorous — it's really unsexy," Dakota told MarieClaire.com. "It's not glue, but it's sticky. They're, like, basically if it were a nipple pastie, but underwear. But it's only sticky at the top, it's not sticky the whole way."
Dakota's sticky thong though would sometimes fall off, resulting in it having to be superglued 😬
"It would also come off because the adhesive would wear out, so then they would superglue it to my body so that it wouldn't fall off. And I would wear two of them," she added. "It's not painful, I mean, it's barely anything. But I guess you have some sense of being covered. It's f--king bizarre."
To ease the awkwardness, Dakota added that sometimes, yes, alcohol was needed.
"Most of [our preparation] is just really figuring out exactly how were are going to accomplish the scene beforehand — so that there's not a lot of waiting around while we're both vulnerable," Johnson added to MarieClaire.com. "But, if something is very, very difficult, it's sometimes necessary to have a shot of something strong beforehand."
For the record, she added that filming never got any less awk.
"No, it's never easy," she concluded. "It's not casual and it's not fun. It never got easy."
Fifty Shades Freed is out in theaters now.

GoodWeave has worked closely with our partners over the past several years to develop and pilot a new, expanded certification standard for the carpet industry. This effort was in response to concerns about adult labor working conditions, fundamental human rights and environmental impacts.
We consulted with a wide range of experts and members of the carpet industry to identify and define seven principles that will help create a more stable, safe and ethical carpet supply chain. After a year and a half of piloting the expanded standard in India, Nepal and Afghanistan, the results of the pilot clearly revealed that the industry faces significant challenges in meeting the basic benchmarks for many of the principles that were tested. GoodWeave is now working with our licensed exporters and producers to tackle these challenges from three angles:
» We are revising the certification standard to simplify the requirements and take a staged approach to phasing in the expanded standard.
» We are expanding the requirements for certification to include the principles of no child labor, no forced and bonded labor, and business processes that are documented and verifiable.
» We are developing new producer support programs to ensure producers are able to improve in the remaining four target areas (freedom of association, non-discrimination, decent working conditions and environmental impacts). This is being designed to encourage progressive improvement over time.
The Better Brick Nepal (BBN) program addresses labor challenges, as well as environmental and quality issues in Nepal's brick industry, which employs approximately 175,000 people and provides critical inputs to a construction industry that is among the largest sectors of the economy. Many of the workers in the brick kilns, however, are children or adults bonded by debt. They are subjected to extremely harsh living and working conditions.
While previous programs have raised awareness of these issues, BBN aims to change the incentives within the industry. BBN seeks to create a market preference for a "better brick" such that buyers of these bricks are assured of more ethical and high-quality production. At the same time, the kilns benefit from technical assistance and access to new high-value markets.
The BBN Standard:
In conjunction with its implementing partners—Global Fairness Initiative and Brick Clean Network—GoodWeave is creating a certifiable BBN Standard on child labor, bonded labor and decent working conditions and developing plans for selected kilns to comply with the Standard. Over time, the goal is for kilns that meet the BBN Standard to achieve business benefits, and to foster needed changes in the brick industry as a whole.
All interested parties are invited to read the public summary and full text of the draft standard using the links below. Your feedback is welcome and will be considered by the BBN Standards Committee in revising and updating the standard.

Reviewed by Matthew S. (age 7)
I liked the book Scorpions. When I read this book it made me feel good because of the way the illustrations looked. They were photographs, and they looked very realistic. I liked it when the book talked about how bad scorpions can sting. That was my favorite part. It made me remember the time that my dad got stung by a scorpion.
I would definitely recommend this book because I like scorpions and this book was all about scorpions. It had lots of photographs, and they were fun to look at. I could look at a real scorpion and not get stung! I think fourth graders would like to read this book. Why? I have a friend who is in the fourth grade, and he likes scorpions. So, I think he and other fourth graders would like this book. I bet he would like the part when scorpion babies are being born because he likes seeing reptile babies being born.

Coudray explains how to use your Website to stand out from the competition and convert sales prospects into profit centers.
Almost all of the business owners I know are on the perpetual search to increase profits. And why shouldn't they? They've felt the pressure from declining profits for quite some time now. But when I ask how they plan on increasing their profits, the most common response is to cut expenses. I wince each time I hear this, because the answer isn't really an answer at all.
Cost cutting is low-hanging fruit. Significant fat in the process is long gone. If some costs can still be reduced, the resulting gains are almost always short term, with the future consequences to be dealt with when they arise. Cost reduction comes with severe consequences to the foundation of the company. I'm thinking about labor cost reduction and elimination or deferral of maintenance to the equipment. Cost reduction to supplies and materials carries the risk of product inconsistency and unpredictable failure. The seeds you sow for future breakdown are usually far more costly than the gains.
The short-term view of how to increase profits is almost always tactical. It involves promotions, sales, and events. In short, the value delivered to your customer base is not really substantive and, most importantly, it usually can't be repeated. It has to be replaced with some other gimmick pulled out of thin air. As an example, the retail market has the perpetual Going Out of Business or Everything Must Go sale.
Don't get me wrong. There's a place for this kind of activity, but it shouldn't be the core of your plan to increase profits. Any profit gain from these kinds of sales is short lived, and you'll work extremely hard to achieve it. You must sell and work harder to deliver the profit. Worse, you run the risk of cannibalizing your future revenue and profit stream with low-margin, artificially motivated tricks.
Fixing the funnel
The more prudent, but difficult, path is to think strategically. This involves looking deeper into your own organization and your customer base. Most of the owners I talk to say they have too many peaks and valleys or they can't predict sales cycles or sales volume. Both of these realizations mean the sales funnel or pipeline is either broken or never existed in the first place.

About the fins I don't have to tell anything more because Ronnie did that already. The position and the Central channel is a test. With the IKA boxrules in mind we made the boards 69,5cm wide and 175cm long. Own ideas together with the shapers experience made us decide making the boards like this.

In December 2007 I went on a media diet, inspired by a Digital Health Service Workshop I'd attended. To be truthful, it was mainly a social media diet. I was an early casualty, as it seems to be catching on more widely now. After being relentlessly engrossed in reading and then creating blogs since 2004, and then diving into the participatathon of Facebook in October 2006, and Twitter the month after, plus a host of other social-sharing-crowdfacing-wikified-whateverisms (on top of all the other web stuff I do), warning signals were sounding.
Having partaken in these principally as a core (and very fruitful) part of my job, they were completely taking over, and the side-effects were not exactly glamorous. I've written about them before.
In some ways social media latecomers are lucky and have probably adapted better to the social mediaverse. Plus most don't have to do it as a matter-of-life-or-paycheck, (although a few dozen tweets can get you a social media intern gig these days, but what did you do before that Tarquin? Enough said).
After I emerged from the two-week zero-fat diet of Xmas 07/ NY 08, things were different. Nowadays, it's all about judicious media consumption for me, honing a better skim-and-plunge technique… supposedly. I still spend my working days neck-deep in the mechanics and strategy of all aspects of online communities, social media and their ilk, and find their business, tech, social and cultural impacts fascinating. Evenings, if I'm dabbling, it's more likely reading, bookmarking and the odd tweet. Sometimes I'll even try out a new web service. But there's more to life…
And the part I was missing most was books.
(I'd just about managed to keep up on music, film, art and other stuff; somehow that was possible).
When I first moved to London in 1998 I didn't read a book for 6 months. I was shellshocked – by the material stress of the move, the quantum leap of my job, the social rupture of leaving my life in Glasgow, the general disorienting strangeness (I'd been to London 30+ times previously, but living there – sorry, here – is different). As someone who'd normally read – and often review in my freelance journalist guise – 3-5 books a month, the book-reading famine was symptomatic of a larger destabilising episode.
I just couldn't sit, zone-in and immerse myself in the great books I'd got queued up to read. When I think about it now, the wave of social media that's washed over me in a work context in the last 5 years has made me exhibit many of the same behaviours that resulted from my transplanting to Londinium. But you always – hopefully – resurface.
So I made an effort to get some nourishment. Here are (some of) the books I read in 2009. Mainly – if sometimes vaguely – work-related, hence the exhibitionism…
I'm not reviewing them (if only!) but I have to admit two of the pictured editions are unfinished: Yochai Benkler's (seminal) The Wealth Of Networks (see also the blog and wiki) and Grant McCracken's Transformations. I'm still in transit with them, gradually snacking my way through. Must be the microblogging ripple effect 🙂
I can't wait to read 2010's offerings. The pile is currently being assembled. And the project of filtering too many media inputs continues 🙂
If anyone wants to do a digital / social web book club (preferrably offline), this reader might be interested.

—MBT Previously Reported Statistically Significant Positive Topline Results from this First Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial of a Microbiome Modulator for Diabetes—
Broomfield, CO – April 8, 2014 – MicroBiome Therapeutics™ LLC, (MBT) today announced that data from the company's clinical trial of microbiome modulator NM504 in development for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes has been accepted for a Poster Preview Presentation at ICE/ENDO 2014, the joint meeting of the International Society of Endocrinology and The Endocrine Society.
NM504 is designed to improve glucose tolerance and other metabolic parameters by shifting the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome. Studies have shown that type 2 diabetics typically have GI dysbiosis, or microbial imbalances, that may contribute to the metabolic dysfunction associated with the condition. MBT previously reported top-line results from the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial showing that oral administration of NM504 significantly reduced postprandial serum glucose levels and increased insulin sensitivity in subjects with prediabetes and untreated type 2 diabetes. NM504 was well tolerated in this trial.
"We are delighted that results from this first clinical trial of NM504, which represents a milestone both for MBT and the emerging field of microbiome therapy, have been accepted for a podium presentation at ICE/ENDO 2014, the most important endocrinology meeting in the world" noted Steve Orndorff, CEO of Microbiome Therapeutics. "We appreciate the opportunity to present more detailed results from this important study to diabetes experts from around the globe."
NM504 is also being studied in a placebo-controlled, double-blinded, proof of concept trial testing its utility in combination with metformin in type 2 diabetes patients with adverse GI effects. In a published case study, NM504 demonstrated the potential to mitigate the GI side effects associated with metformin.
MBT is developing microbiome modulators that alter microbial populations and their environment in the GI tract to address serious health conditions. The company's microbiome modulators are designed to act on multiple factors, augmenting the growth of targeted desirable bacterial strains and discouraging the growth of others. NM504 is formulated to promote microbiome shifts that positively affect metabolism and weight.
The session for the Poster Preview Presentation by MBT Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Mark Heiman is scheduled from 11:15am-11:30am CT on June 23, 2014. The poster presentation will run from 1:00pm- 3:00pm the same day. ICE/ENDO 2014 will take place June 21-24, 2014 in Chicago, IL. For more information, visit www.endocrine.org/endo-2014.
About MicroBiome Therapeutics™
MicroBiome Therapeutics LLC (MBT), is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing pharmaceutical and medical food products that aim to improve health status by interacting with and altering the human microbiome. MBT is developing evidence-based microbiome modulators to address serious health conditions. Lead product NM504 is being tested in clinical trials for the management of insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels and as an adjunct to metformin in patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

On April 1, 2002, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will release the 1930 Federal population census. At that time, microfilmed copies of the 15th federal census mandated by the U.S. Constitution will be available for consultation at the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C., and at 13 of the National Archives regional facilities across the nation, and also through the National Archives rental program.
The 1930 census consists of 2,667 rolls of population schedules and 1,587 rolls of Soundex indexes for 12 southern states, totaling 4,254 rolls. The census provides a wealth of socioeconomic information such as the following: names of all persons living in each home; relationship of each person to the head of household; whether the home is owned or rented; value of the home; if the family owns a radio; if they own a farm; whether they attended school or college; if they can read or write; place of birth; citizenship status; and occupation. For a complete listing of National Archives regional facilities and opening times, check the NARA web site at: http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/genindex.html/ For more information on the 1930 census, see http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/1930cen.html.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this.
Im not sure if anyone specifically makes the downpipes for v6 conversions. would be handy if they do but i think you will probably either need to take it to a shop or make one yourself.
You have mentioned big end shells but you probably want to change the mains at the same time.
Not sure if its worth changing the little ends/gudgeon pins aswell.
I would get a deglazer if your removing the pistons and maybe a reamer if they have a step in the bore.
Depending on how far your going they you can get the crank and cam journals polished.
If your cleaning lots of parts then you cant beat a sand / soda blaster. Just make sure if your doing parts that go on or in the engine e.g. cam covers that you use soluble media (soda) or that you can definatly get it all out.
Thanks for the tips
Yeah mains should be on the list too!
Gota add a flywheel and clutch to the list
Been told turbo flywheel machined to match the bolt pattern a turbo pressure plate and na clutch plate

Got the intake off and the intake manifold and the rocker covers
Next step is to undo the crank and the cam bolts
Any tips?

I found the best way to remove the crank bolt is to fit a couple of flywheel bolts back in and then slide a bar between them, rotate crank till the bar is against one of the stand arms and use a long pry bar on the crank bolt. I often found that applying pressure ton the bolt and hitting the socket will a hammer helps kinda like an impact wrench.

Hi mate. Good luck with the build. That engine you've got there I saw up for sale last year when I was looking for a mock up one for my turbo set up. If I remember right, it was advertised as having a blown head gasket because a coolant hose had come off the engine. So I would make sure the heads get skimmed and checked. I have a na flywheel that I milled out to the correct pcd if you want it and also a set of down pipes that I dont need because im building my turbo set up. They're nothing special just the standard 3vz pipes welded to a mr2 b pipe. But they worked for me for 16months. Handy if you want to run it a bit before getting some free flowing ones built.
To get the crank off your better using an impact gun. Or you could make a tool to hold the pulley. Its just a flat bar with 2 holes for some bolts to pass through into the crank pulley and one in the middle of them to allow you to put a socket on the crank pulley bolt.

Hands-On With The Official SkyDrive Desktop Client For Windows & Mac [Review]
Micosoft's SkyDrive is a file hosting service that allows users to upload and sync files to cloud storage. Previously, one could only access SkyDrive files from its web UI and upload Office documents from Office 2012, however, Microsoft has recently released its desktop client for Mac and Windows to let users easily manage SkyDrive files and sync local files with the cloud, from their computers. The desktop client works just like Dropbox; it creates a folder on your hard drive and anything that you copy into that folder will be automatically uploaded/ synced with the cloud. When you install a SkyDrive desktop client on a PC or Mac, it creates a new section in its web interface, so that you can separately manage files and folders that are uploaded from different computer. It actually turns your PC into a private cloud, letting you browse through your personal files and folders via web interface. More on SkyDrive Windows app after the jump.
During installation, you are asked to sign in with your Windows Live ID to connect to your SkyDrive account.
Once account credentials have been verified, it creates a SkyDrive folder in your User Account folder and starts downloading your SkyDrive files and Office documents.
The app runs quietly in the system tray. Right-clicking its icon opens a menu from where you can quickly access SkyDrive folder, visit SkyDrive.com, open online storage manager and access application settings window.
When you copy files in to the SkyDrive folder, it starts uploading them to your cloud storage. All the synced files will have a green tick mark on them, while the ones waiting to be uploaded have a sync sign on them.
The Settings dialog box lets you choose whether to make files on the current PC available to other devices or not. If you disable this option, it will not sync the files with other SkyDrive configured devices.
SkyDrive's web interface lets you view and access Library folders as well as local & removable storage disks of any computer where SkyDrive is configured and running. When you install the desktop client on a computer, it connects your computer with your SkyDrive account. This actually enables you to view and access your PC (if SkyDrive desktop is running) from SkyDrive web interface. If you have added multiple devices to your SkyDrive account, you can fetch files from one PC while you are logged in from another. For instance, if you forget some files on your home PC, you can access them using your office PC if SkyDrive desktop client is running on your home PC.
The application works on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, Windows and Window 8.
