It was the 21st match win in a row for the Lady Bisons. They also remained undefeated in the Atlantic Sun Conference with an 18-0 record.
The Lady Bisons beat USC Upstate 25-13, 25-20 and 25-21.
"In the first set we got out in front and controlled everything," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "In the second set we let it get away from us at the beginning and they stayed in control until the 18 points mark. In the third set we kept a three-or-four point lead the entire set."
Junior middle hitter Alex Kelly had a match-high 20 kills and added 14 digs. It was her third time this season to post 20 or more kills in a match. Kelly also posted a .581 hitting percentage. She added one service ace and two blocks.
"Alex did a tremendous job," said Rosenthal. "When we needed the big plays she was able to come up with them."
Junior outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer had 10 kills and nine digs to go with a .296 hitting percentage.
Senior opposite Erin Pierce added 14 digs. Sophomore libero Katie Rose finished with 12.
"We didn't play a lot of defense in the second set," Rosenthal said. "We didn't work as hard as needed to in the second set. In the third set we came back. I have always told our players I don't care who gets the digs as long as we get them."
The Lady Bisons are 24-3, 18-0 in the A-Sun. Upstate fell to 7-21, 3-15 in the conference.
"We traveled seven hours each way to play one game," said Rosenthal. "But we did what we needed to do."
The Lady Bisons close out the regular season at home this weekend with a match with Campbell at 5 Friday Nov. 13 at Allen Arena and a match Saturday at 2 with ETSU. Rosenthal is giving the players Sunday and Monday off.

Upper Corsica, quintessential nature
Bordered on the east by the Tyrrhenian Sea and to the west by the Mediterranean Sea, Upper Corsica extends over the northeast part of the 'Ile de la Beauté' in the heart of the Cismonte region. An unspoilt paradise of traditional crafts and exceptional sites.
The wild beauty of this peninsula, home to small idyllic coves and crystal clear waters, is a must for nature lovers. Take the spectacular coastal road marked by the scents of immortelle flowers and myrtle to admire the towering rock formations shaped by the sea. Penetrate the land to get lost in the bush. Take a hike or go horseback riding, and stop to refresh yourself in the shade of olive trees. Venture out in a boat to the Scandola Nature Reserve, concealing mysterious caves over which osprey hover. Don't miss exploring the amazing black beach of the village of Nonza or visiting the Agriates Desert. In Balagne, explore the streets of the fortified town of Calvi, the legendary birthplace of Christopher Columbus, before visiting the charming villages of Lumio, L'Ile Rousse, and Saint Florent. At the tip of Cap Corse, in the village of Centuri, you can crack open a lobster and try to make out what you see of the Italian coast on a clear day. And for a city break, let yourself be charmed by the colourful streets of Bastia, replete with designer, luxury, and fashion boutiques, as well as concept stores, which attract people from around the island. Northern Corsica is worth a visit at any time of year. Throughout the seasons, events such as the Italian Film Festival of Bastia, the Lama Film Festival, Porto Latino Music Festival in Saint-Florent, the 'Cap Sur le Rire Festival' (Comedy Festival) in Brando, and the renowned music festival 'Calvi on the Rocks', punctuate the island's cultural life. Discover, as well, the region's rich religious heritage by visiting chapels and churches in villages and attending traditional processions. Northern Corsica is an ideal destination to visit as a couple, with family, or with friends for a weekend, a short stay, or for even longer.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Have your agronomic questions answered by a Farm Journal agronomist. E-mail us directly at email@example.com, and we'll respond on this blog to provide an interactive dialogue.
It's early December, and your focus may well be on Christmas, buying presents and enjoying the holidays with family and friends. Some down time is good for the body and soul and helps refresh everyone for the next job on the farm. While you're mulling over plans for the holiday season, we hope you'll take just a few minutes to look ahead to January. Specifically, we would like to encourage you to pencil in the topic of planter preparation on your to-do list. Why, you ask? A couple of reasons: Winter is a great time to get ready for the spring planting season, and prepping your planter adds money to your bottom line. A split-planter study by Pioneer Hi-Bred shows an average yield improvement of 4.2 bushels per acre when your planter is properly prepped for the field. The key to your success with the process is checking each facet of the planter and making adjustments before and during the planting season, from the hitchpin to the closing wheels. We encourage farmers to check everything: chains, sprockets, bearings, idlers and clutch assembly, including all of the components involved in seed metering, as well as the meter itself. Other factors to check out: parallel arms, row cleaners, no-till coulters, gauge wheels, disk openers, seed tubes, closing wheels and seed placement. If you need help with the process, contact your local equipment dealer or your state university Extension agricultural engineer. You also can attend one of the upcoming Farm Journal planting clinics, hosted by Missy Bauer, Associate Field Agronomist. Bauer is hosting five hands-on planter clinics for farmers throughout the Midwest and mid-South this winter. We've listed the dates and locations below, and you can learn more information about the clinics by checking out the agenda on the Website noted. Whatever your decision, take the time to invest in getting your planter ready for spring. The process is sure to pay huge dividends in the coming year.

The looming global water crisis is as much a crisis of how the resource is governed as it is of supply and usage, a UNESCO-IHE representative told the 2011 global Water for Food Conference Tuesday.
Related Stories
Water for Food speakers explore challenges, solutions
The conference, hosted by the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute of the University of Nebraska and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was expected to draw more than 400 producers, scientists, industry representatives and policymakers from more than 20 countries.
Szollosi-Nagy, rector of the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education in Delft, The Netherlands, noted that the world's population increased threefold in the 20th century, while water use expanded sixfold. That is not sustainable in the 21st century.
One challenge, he said, is to put water, often taken for granted, "in the minds of people … whether politicians or the general public."
"We have failed to convey this message to political leaders," Szollosi-Nagy added. "The crisis is clearly a crisis in how water is being governed."
The UNESCO-IHE official said that while policymakers must base their food policy decisions on good science, scientists must give them the information they need to make those decisions.
Julia Bucknall, sector manager of the World Bank's Water Department, said these policymakers must make extraordinarily difficult decisions. "We have to take water away from some people who have it now and give it to others who don't," she said.
While Bucknall agreed with other conference speakers that expanding irrigation in the developing world is essential to producing food more efficiently, evidence so far indicates that irrigated land in these areas underperforms economically. Future irrigation-investment decisions will have to be more nuanced to take into account local cultures and conditions and will have to move beyond the basic, but still difficult, task of getting water from dams to fields.
"Our irrigation investments have to get more complicated, but if we make them more complicated, we can make them more successful and equitable," Bucknall added.
Another international water expert warned of the "hidden water footprint of our daily diet."
On average, humans use 50 liters of water per day for personal needs and 3,500 liters a day for their food, said Anders Berntell, executive director of the Stockholm International Water Institute.
Berntell said greater efforts must be made to reduce the loss of food "from field to fork." Berntell estimated that about 4,600 calories per day per person are produced in the world's food system, but by the time that food makes it to consumer, only 2,000 calories remain. Losses occur in post-harvest handling, feed for animals and in distribution.
"What other product could we afford to lose 50 percent of from producer to consumer?" he asked.
In addition to improving water productivity and efficiency, and reducing field-to-fork losses, international policy must focus on improved trade and an understanding that grain-fed meat and biofuel production are not efficient uses of crops, said Berntell, acknowledging that those last two points are not popular ones in places like Nebraska.
One agricultural producer suggested that farmers must make decisions about water in a more calculating way.
Louis Sartor, who grows citrus in Australia, said Monday afternoon that an active water-trading market has developed in his country in the last 20 years. Farmers may realize it makes better economic sense some years to sell their water than to grow a crop.
"We've tried to remove the emotion in water and treat water as a commodity which is market driven," Sartor said.
What's needed, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln agronomy professor told reporters in a briefing, is nothing less than a second "green revolution" that will double agricultural production while reducing water use and protecting the environment.
"That's never been done in human history," said Ken Cassman, who recently was named the first chair of the Independent Science and Partnership Council of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research.
"We're in the center of the universe for this second green revolution," Cassman said of Nebraska. "We can lead it."
The conference concludes Wednesday.

Understanding Charging on 4.5
Understanding Charging on 4.5
I personally charge mine to 70% on a daily basis, and rarely go below 50%. I don't have any hard numbers, but I believe that will very slightly improve battery longevity by reducing the overall time spent at higher charge. It doesn't show you the rated miles at each point, but it is easy enough to estimate.
I settled on 75%, which gives me a nice round 150 miles rated (or close to it anyway, it varies) on my S60.
Overall, the best advice is that if you can, lower the max charge as this will make your battery last slightly longer.
However, under no circustances lower it to a point that would give you any range anxiety as it is just not worth it. (the benifits are not that great)
Still use a max range charge if you need it for trips.
I guess Tesla is implying with this new feature that the standard charge to 90% was a bit high if you are looking towards max battery longevity.
Today at the Port St Lucie SuperCharger opening we met and spoke with the VP responsible for the SuperCharger build out. I quote him directly "the best thing for the battery is to be constantly topped off [to a normal charge]; the worst thing is to let it run it down [to zero] then charge it back up."
@nickjhowe - then that is very different from other Li-ion battery recommendations -- for example, Nissan dings you on the annual battery report for time spent at full charge. Li-poly batteries don't like being held at high SoC for a long time either. The Volt uses the middle range of its battery, etc.
@Jat - Unless I'm mistaken, by normal charge, Nick was indicating the user-configurable normal charge and NOT a range charge. In essence, keeping the battery topped off at 50-90%, not at 100%.
I replied to another thread that I cant find right now what each mark on the slider had my car charged to.
Full: 265 miles
First mark down: 231
Next mark: 198
Next: 171
Next: 145
Right now I am routinely charging to 200 miles.
@michael1800 - I understand that, but I don't know that 90% is the place where no excess wear occurs. Personally, I charge it as low as possible so that I don't go below 50% in my normal usage, but I don't worry about max-range charging it (though I do arrange for it to sit at completely full for as little time as possible before starting to drive it) or running it down to zero when I need it.
@Michael/@Jat - correct, I meant 90% charge. Bottom line - try not to deep cycle the battery, and try to stay away from extremely full or extremely empty.

If you own cast iron cookware then you know that to cook successful meals you need to season your cookware correctly.
Without proper seasoning your food will not only stick to the surface but it will also react with the metal resulting in food that tastes and looks unappetizing. Your pans will also begin to rust, making them unattractive.
You can use your raw cast iron cookware in the kitchen and it is equally serviceable for use on the campfire when you go camping.
Raw cast iron cookware will give you many years of good service if properly cared and these pans are often passed down through the generations. So they are definitely value for money.
In fact I have a set of 3 saucepans that were handed down to me from my grandmother and they are in as good condition as when she owned them. And because I take the simple steps below, they will be able to be handed on to my daughter.
Here are the steps to seasoning your cast iron cookware:
- Preheat your oven to 300F and place aluminum foil or similar in the bottom of your oven to protect it from oil spills. If you have purchased your cast iron cookware as new then you will need to thoroughly wash it with warm water and soap using a scourer to remove any rust proof coatings.
- Dry the cookware thoroughly before proceeding to the next step. You can place it in the oven for a short period in order to do this.
- Coat the pan and the lid evenly with a heavy fat like lard or bacon grease. Many use Crisco for this purpose. The pan should be coated inside and out.
- Place the pan and the lid upside in your oven for about an hour. If you place them right side up then the oil will accumulate in the bottom of the pan.
For best results repeat steps 4 and 5.
Repeating this process once or twice will ensure an optimal non-stick surface to cook on.

It's Saturday Night – time for lots of Genealogy Fun from Randy Seaver!
by Sherry Stocking Kline
November 14, 2009
Here, thanks to Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings, is your Saturday Night Genealogy Fun writing mission, if you decide to accept it (cue the Mission: Impossible music…):
1. What is the Nicest Thing another genealogist did for you, or to you, in the last week or so? (If you have no examples for this past week, go back in time – surely someone has done a nice thing for you in recent years!).
2. Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, in a comment on Facebook, or in a tweet on Twitter.
In the past few weeks, two Twitter friends helped me navigate the rocky-for-me road of how to 'do stuff' on my WordPress blog!
I tweeted for help…
In late September, I tweeted for help in finding a Blog Roll so I could add other folks blog addresses to my blog!
And GeneaBloggers (@geneabloggers on Twitter) tweeted me the instructions for how to do it, then tweeted me a "why don't you blog about it message later." (I still plan to!)
It took @geneabloggers about six tweets at 140 characters to send me the info, but the instructions were perfect.
I found the Blog Roll I wanted, and next thing you know, I had a blog roll on my blog! Woo Hoo! Thanks, GeneaBloggers! Now, I just need to find the time to add everyone's blog on there.
Yesterday, I followed a link…
Just yesterday, I followed a link on Twitter from @Bonnie67 that led me to her post at Bonnie67′s. (Bonnie isn't a genealogist, yet, but I'm 'recruiting' her.)
Bonnie had a link to a music video, the very same song by Sam the Sham and the Pharoah's that I wished I could have added to my first Saturday Night Genealogy Fun post.
When I mentioned that I wished I knew how to post music video's on my site, Bonnie got busy and wrote a blog post to show me how!
Awesome! Thanks, Bonnie!
And though this was a long time ago and I'd have to dig through a lot of old genealogy to find her name, there was a wonderfully kind woman who was the first woman I wrote to to try to find information about my husband's Kline family.
This wonderful woman looked up some information in the newspaper, located a description about the farm animals owned, crops grown, and the orchard on the farm, and found information about the two children of James and Elizabeth Kline that had passed away while they lived there.
I was able to locate some information at the library in Wichita that helped her out some, too, information that told her that some of her family had been founding members in the small cattle town that was Wichita in its early days.
It was the help from this woman, and others like her that helped me have those early successes in piecing together the family histories that weave together and make up the fabric of who our family is, and fueled my desire to learn more, and more.
Thank you!

They're out, and in plenty of time for the holidays, too!These fingerless mitts (formerly known as the Gauntles, now known as the SpillyMitts,) feature a unique twisted stitch motif, with slightly different detailing on the inner wrist and palm. Get the pattern here on Ravelry!
Though these are sized to fit any hand 8 inches in circumference, the rib and cable motif will accommodate a variety of sizes.
The 4-page .pdf features large colour-coded charts to make the twisted-stitch-knitting process as painless as possible.
And here's are the rest of the details:
Yarn: 1 skein of Patons Classic Wool (223 yards / 100 g) in Mercury
Needles: 5 dpns in US 4 (3.50 mm)
Gauge: 6 stitches = 1 inch in Stockinette
And much like with the Heirloom socks, to make these mitts you're going to need to know how to knit through the back of the loop, cable, read charts and knit in the round.
Wait til you see what's coming next!

Do you know that the every year all levels of government purchase billions of dollars of dollars worth of goods and services from the private sector? Today, there are thousands of firms whose sole purpose is to supply the government. There are hundred of thousands of jobs that indirectly depend on government contracts.
Over the last 2 years, thousands of people have lost their jobs, businesses and livelihoods due to the harsh recession. Many of these people have become so distressed as they have found no other way to earn a decent income to pay their mortgages and bills. Some have gone back to school and retrained themselves and others have become entrepreneurs and found novel ways of earning income.
There are excellent opportunities available to supply the 3 levels of government. And the most interesting fact is that the government is looking for people like you and me to supply it. You can do this from home. All you need is time, a internet connection, very little capital and a determination to succeed!
The government has made it fair and relatively easy to supply it. Gone are the days when you had to bribe an official in a department to get a contract to supply. The whole tendering process has become very transparent so that those unwanted practices do not happen anymore.
If you have the will to succeed and persevere you will ultimately win. This is an important quality to have because you can get all fired up, and then when you start going through the tendering process, you may feel disheartened and inadequate. There has to be systems and checks in place so that unscrupulous individuals don't end up supplying the wrong items, resulting in the government wasting its resources.
There is a lot of valuable information available on the internet to show you how the process works. Subscribe to the government publications, as most of them are free and will explain in detail the steps and resources required.

Welcome to the Family Nurse Practitioner Program
Now is an opportune time to become a nurse practitioner. Not only is there is an increased demand nationally for nurses, but there are new and abundant opportunities for nurse practitioners including demand for inpatient nurse practitioner care to the advent of "Express Care" clinics in retail outlets as well as a burgeoning need for providers to care for the uninsured and indigent population. In addition, there is a "graying" of the nation's nursing profession with many RNs approaching retirement age. Consequently, opportunities for NPs have never been better. We invite you to take a look at our program!
Nurse practitioners work in a variety of clinical settings including outpatient clinics, ambulatory care settings, emergency departments, inpatient units, community health agencies, and private practice settings as co-owners and operators with other nurse practitioners, physicians and other health care providers. The current facts about nurse practitioners (CANP Fact Sheet, 2006):
- There are 88,000 nurse practitioners in the United States.
- There are 10,959 nurse practitioners in California.
- There are 6,877 California nurse practitioners who prescribe/ "furnish" medications.
- Nurse practitioners are primary care providers: 90% work in primary care.
- Nurse practitioners increase access to care: 68% see Medi-Cal patients, 51% see the uninsured, and 27% care for indigent patients.

This 3BR, 1BA bungalow is the perfect entry into the socially-conscious and good neighborly community of Takoma Park. A perfect fit for a lesbian couple looking to leave behind the politics of Virginia for a more progressive approach.
After months of searching, Amy Gotwals and Amy Wajda had almost given up on finding the perfect house. Only when they came across an imperfect bungalow in Takoma Park, Md. did they find everything they were looking for.
Amy G.: We moved here in May of 2000. We were Virginia residents and renters for years — we're definitely Virginians, but we like the politics better over here. We felt lucky to get a bungalow here in Takoma Park. It was hard to actually find one because so many people want to live in this style of house or in this wonderful community. Takoma Park is such a small [area] — I think around 16,000 residents — not many houses come on the market, and there are a lot of buyers. This house is certainly not perfect, but we got the style of house that we wanted, a great street and wonderful neighbors.
[In the guest room] When my grandmother died my mother wouldn't give me any of her furniture. I think it was my moving around from apartment to apartment and the wear and tear [it would cause]. As soon as she saw this house she said, "Oh my goodness, we have stuff for you." We got a U-Haul and inherited a lot of my grandmother's things. She lived in a 1920s house with a lot of dark wood trim and [her furniture] just fit in with this house. A large majority of our things are castoffs from other people — there are a lot of hand-me-downs in this house.
[In the bathroom] I was unemployed at this time last year, so in January I said to my dad, "Okay, you want to do the bathroom?" And he flew down. He's very, very handy and maintains a lot of apartment buildings where he lives. So we replaced the sink and toilet, laid the tile floor, and painted it. It was father-daughter bonding time — we were bending pipe with a blowtorch at one point and I thought, "This is kind of cool." The pipe didn't fit the right way and [without my dad there] I would have just been stuck. Dad is the type of person who can think it through and say, "We're going to bend the pipe." We had this blowtorch, which of course he had on the airplane in his luggage. He had called ahead to the airport and asked, "Can I bring these tools?" And they said it was fine, as long as they were in the luggage. So the bathroom is special to us now because we did it ourselves.
Amy W.: [In the kitchen] I like to cook all kinds of things. We have tried to use a lot of organic ingredients, especially in the last year. It's hard at first, because it is more expensive. But my parents are organic farmers — you really do learn why organic food costs more. There is a premium you have to pay for the cost of the farmers. The next step for us would be buying more local foods. If you buy organic apples from California it's good in one regard, but on the other hand you pay a cost in shipping those apples from California to Washington, D.C. You know, fossil fuels and things like that. There is a lot to consider.
Amy G.: We try little things. I wasn't thrilled by the concept of a compost pile when we first moved in and then Amy slowly sold me on it. She got this cute little tin from someplace like Crate and Barrel, and it sits on the porch so I don't have to look at the whole compost thing. Takoma Park makes it easy to recycle. You can put anything out on the curb and they come get it. Every time we have a castoff, we put it out and within hours someone has snatched it up. So nothing I put out there ends up in a landfill. You know you are in good community when everyone is reusing and recycling.

Amenities are made to be used, so luxuriate in the Jacuzzi, admire the period renovations, and lounge at the grand piano in this 5BR, 6 1/2 BA Columbia Heights townhouse where the more is always the merrier.
Making a five-story house feel cozy may have seemed daunting at first for real estate agent Brandon Green. Three roommates, a grand piano, and lots of Argentine art work later, things started to feel a little more like home.
Brandon: I moved in here a year ago. I have three roommates. I'm a real estate agent and I came across this house just being out and about in the field. This house was built around 1895, and it was originally one gigantic house like it is now. Then some time around World War II they cut it up for the soldiers that were in Washington, as they did with a lot of these Victorians in Columbia Heights, to make them into rooming houses. In the 1960s, as I understand, the house was converted into five apartments. When the previous owners bought it twelve years ago they reconverted it into one house and did all the major structural repairs. Everything you see here they did over the last ten years. Now it's mine and I have my own ideas.
[In the kitchen] Apparently, the cabinets are original — everything else has been duplicated to look period. A lot of the woodwork in the house is original and a lot of it was replicated. You will see there are several different kinds of woods. I don't know exactly how they renovated, but I think only a certain amount of the wood was salvageable, so they had to recreate a lot of it.
[In the front yard] Having a secure gate around the house is really nice. It's been problematic on occasion, though. Once, I was sitting in my office and the neighbor from across the street called me and said, " Are you okay?" I said, " Yeah, why?" He said, "Because the fire people are about to break down your door." So I walk upstairs and open the front door and as I'm opening it there are three firemen with a battering ram on the heave of a heave-ho about to take out my front door. Apparently somebody had called and said that someone was dying at my address. I don't know if it was a trick or what — it was crazy.
[In the living room] I bought that piano five years ago. I was living in a little studio apartment and I had very little money. Instead of thinking, "Perhaps I should use the money for food," I bought a piano. It made me starve for a month because I had no more money. But it's a great piano, an Arthur Jordan, built in the 1920s. I slept on a floor for a year, but I had a piano.
[In the master bedroom] These are actually kind of fun. I bought them from an artist in Argentina. I like artwork that tells a story of some sort. This artwork is a little unusual for what I usually get. I like contemporary narratives. I think what attracted me here was the portrayal of passion and sexuality in the Latin culture. The artist was also a really cool woman. I walked into her shop and I was staring at these. She had several others that were much more revealing but when my mother comes over I don't know if I want that hanging in my room. So we got to talking and she actually invited me back to her house. I met her mother, went to lunch with her husband. We actually stay in decent touch. I'm going back in February, so I'll see her again.
[In the master bath] I love the bathroom. Every place I have lived before had very small, nasty bathrooms. So having a big bathroom with a lot of space, a sauna and a Jacuzzi tub was awesome. That's the thing about this house, we use every corner of it, all the features. I know a lot of people who have wonderfully large houses and they just don't use the space or the amenities. I definitely wanted to have a house where it wasn't too big, but was big enough to allow for extra people. It is a well-used house, always full of people.

Home is where the art is in this 1BR, 1BA Dupont apartment. Uncommonly clean, a simple presto! converts the living room into a working artist's studio, and an urban living dream.
Moving from Dallas to New York and finally D.C., artist Mike Weber quickly learned that things really are bigger in Texas, especially homes. But with a little creative decorating, this minimalist made a maximum impact.
Mike: I moved here in March. Before that I was in Pentagon City for about seven months. I moved there from New York, and I had to get back in the city. There was not enough energy in Pentagon City. This apartment is almost exactly like my apartment in West Village in New York. When I first saw it I knew right away this was the one.
[In the kitchen] I do things differently than most people. I like to take what people call junk and make it art. Like the piece on the kitchen wall, it's actually from a building on 16th Street that's now the Summit [apartments]. They were going to renovate it, and I really liked the letters they had on the building so I threw on a hard hat, went in, found the building contractor and gave him my business card. I said, "If the preservation society doesn't make you keep these, can I have them?" He said yes, and I got a call five or six months later. I went down and picked them up and now they are my sculpture. It's funny — people try and figure out what it used to say all the time. It's a great social topic for parties. The original sign said "The Roosevelt: Home of Retired Senior Citizens." Now it's giant Scrabble.
I'm not afraid of color if it's used right. I like earth tones. Orange is such a warm color and great for all year. I thought the white letters would really pop well off the orange wall, and the white ties into the white furniture and white rug in the living room. I grew up in an all-white house. It was like a museum. If you have ever seen Nicholas Cage in Matchstick Men — that is my mother. [Her] house was super clean and organized. I inherited two things from my mother, thin white skin and her cleaning gene. I have a twin sister. Even though we think a lot alike, we are very opposite. She is really messy and I'm really clean. I was left in the womb three minutes more, so maybe it's because more of it soaked in.
[In the living room] When people aren't here the coffee tables are flipped up, I roll up the carpets, and this is a studio space where I throw down big tarps and paint. I was dabbling in this business when I first moved here. I used to work in television designing graphics and animation. The only place I can do that is New York or L.A. and I decided to quit my job. I wanted to try something that was away from technology.
This stuff on the wall here is actually old wooden parts. I have a bunch of gears, pistons and pieces. They carved these wooden pieces to build sand cast molds to pour metal into so they could mass-produce the pieces. They are from a ship, I think from the twenties or thirties, which was built in Texas and then sent to England. The original parts were engineered in Waco, Texas. I happened to be driving through with a friend and this guy was having an antique sale in a shed off the side of the highway. I walked in and I saw these pieces. There is another store based in Dallas that had an entire collection of these — people offered thousands of dollars for them and the owner would never sell. Then I walked into this barn and this guy had a pile of them. So after $500 for the parts and $60 for a truck rental, I was driving back to Waco. Now I have a warehouse full of them in Texas. Every once and while when I go down there I'll bring a few of them back with me. Eventually, if I have a large enough space, I'll fill the whole wall.

This is where you want to live: An almost-new 3BR, 2 1/2 BA, 4-floor townhouse in the always convenient 'burbs of Alexandria, where all that extra space means a country and jazz fan can happily cohabitate with a contemporary pop fan.
When their social life started to slow Mark Podrazik and David Elliott knew it was time to find a new house. After six years of painting and furnishing they were on the verge of feeling at home. Then came a temperamental Christmas tree.
Mark: We moved in March of '97. We were living in Herndon and, needless to say, my social life was disappearing. We just knew this was a good location for us. We were actually the first ones to move in on the street.
Dave: I work downtown. But we decided long ago that because jobs change you should live where you want to live. When we first moved here we had a lot of friends who were moving out to the 'burbs and we had a lot of friends in Northern Virginia so it made a lot of sense for us to stay close enough to D.C. to do things on the weekends.
We were looking for a newer, larger townhouse. When you buy more out here you get a lot more space. I think we are definitely suburban types.
[In the kitchen] We loved the kitchen and figured we would spend a lot of time here. We love the windows. When we get up the morning sun is shining in, it's always very bright in here. This kitchen is not the kitchen that typically goes in this model house. The kitchen that was designed for this house had an island right here [in the middle of the current kitchen]. We saw this kitchen in one of the other model homes and they agreed to build it in our house. We picked out all the cabinets, doors, counter tops and backsplash.
Mark: There were two or three disagreements, but for the most part I think we have pretty similar styles. I think I am less married to certain ideas so I would say to Dave, "Go to the design center, pick everything out and give me your top two. I'll pick from your top two." It was a lot easier.
Dave: Mark got into blue cobalt glass years ago.
Mark: It looked good, but once people know you like something they give it to you every year. I need to say, "We are moving on to a new theme."
Dave: [In the rec room] We probably have about 600 CDs, all different genres.
Mark: There are core things that we both like but we also diverge quite a bit, so that's why our collection has expanded. Every once in a while he buys something that will be for the both of us but most of time one of us will come home with a bag of CDs that the other has no interest in. I like country and jazz.
Dave: I like the current contemporary stuff — Dido and Sarah McLachlan, SadeÂ…
Mark: Soccer mom music. [In the hallway] We had a commitment ceremony in 1997 right after we moved. My mother wrote a poem that she read out at the ceremony. As gift she had a friend who does calligraphy [recreate it] and she had it mounted. It was so emotional — the whole ceremony was unbelievable. We had people who you never thought would cry that were just bawling, reaching for tissues. Only my mother could upstage me at my commitment ceremony.
Dave: And she did, she just did a beautiful job.
Mark: [In the living room] Well, of course, being gay men you have to have a big tree. We have the routine down from previous years, I put on the lights and Dave does the rest of the decorating. It's a pain to put the lights on because I'm very meticulous. They always have to be white and the more the merrier — there are fifteen hundred lights on the tree. I was painstakingly putting them all on and it seemed that when I get another hundred on they would all go out. So it took hours and hours. After hour four they all went out and the tree started to move and almost fell on me. Dave gets home and we try and reposition the tree and finally we just had to go and get another stand. So he ran out while I just stood there hugging the tree for twenty minutes. We finally got that fixed and all the lights went out again. I told him, "You better enjoy this tree. You're not getting another one for ten years."

Cost is the single biggest factor hampering companies that want to adopt a 'green' IT structure, according to new research.
The study reveals that 82 per cent of the IT managers surveyed considered the environmental impact of their IT infrastructure and hardware as either "extremely" or "very" important.The survey of 100 IT managers attending the Citrix iForum conference in June was carried out by Neoware, a US thin-client provider.
Some 71 per cent of respondents said they would choose an IT system or product specifically because it is more environmentally friendly or energy-efficient. But the results also show that a range of factors stand in the way of these intentions being put into practice.
Survey respondents named cost as the key preventative factor (24 per cent) when it comes to going green, followed by "difficulties in replacing existing technology" (18 per cent) and "lack of green products available" (17 per cent). Other barriers cited included "lack of understanding" (15 per cent), no "green champion" within the IT department (10 per cent), "lack of management buy-in" (10 per cent), and "not formalised into company's CSR (corporate social responsibility)/green initiatives" (4 per cent).
"One of the main messages to businesses is that becoming green has a price tag associated to it," said Neoware's sales manager for Northern Europe, Andrew Gee. "Undeniably, any change to a company's IT infrastructure will involve some cost, but when becoming green, businesses need to look at the longer-term savings beyond the initial investment."
Other notable figures from the survey include the fact that 98 per cent of respondents think that the IT industry has a responsibility to become more environmentally friendly, 71 per cent felt that being more green is high on their company's list of priorities, and 60 per cent of respondents do or would evaluate suppliers based on their environmental approach.
An iReach survey of Irish companies published in March 2007 told a similar story of a willingness to go green, tempered by concern over the associated costs.

Bethel Faces Financial
Deficit of $49,130
In a recent message to the Baptist General conference througn the
Standard, official conference organ, Bethel's President Lundquist made
some statements and observations that should be important to Bethel
students. He observed that-
1. According to current trends, April 30 will find Bethel with a defi-cit
of $49,130, not including the borrowing from reserves of $44,078 to
balance the budget last year.
2. In the decision to cut the school's program, the president found
his "hardest task."
3. This decision means the elimination of one department entirely
and the non-return of three teachers.
4. This decision also means that admissions to the freshman class
will be limited for the first time next fall.
5. "It seems strange that this should happen in a year that other-wise
many of us think is the finest we have known on the campus. The
blessing of God has been manifest . .. kind of staff the Lord has led
to Bethel . . . the spirit of dedication among the students . . . The spirit-ual
impact of the school . . ."
President Lundquist continued and concluded discussing this finan-cial
problem and its possible alleviation.
So, the institution finishes in the red for the first time, drops sev-eral
faculty members (which means one department plus some), and
limits admissions for the first time.
At many schools a year-end deficit isn't unusual, but Bethel has
remained remarkably unscarred through the course of progress. Bethel's
improvement and expansion finally outran income. There are no real
alternatives; if Bethel is to resume progress in the years to come, more
money must come in. This doesn't mean that income has been down this
year, because it hasn't. But progress is expensive.
The loss of faculty members cannot be termed desirable. A depart-ment
is gone and also three teachers. Fortunately in certain areas
plans have been in the offing for several years that are perhaps even
aided by these developments.
These plans have been in the area of experimentation in independent
The elimination of some faculty will somewhat pressure consolida-tion
of courses in line with this ultimate program, for next year. This
doesn't mean that independent study emphasis is less expensive than the
present system; it is actually more expensive. Although earlier plan-ning
makes the cutback a less drastic change the progress of the Bethel
program is going to be more expensive.
It is perhaps a minor problem that admissions will be limited but
it should be remembered that limitations will mean priority to confer-ence
young people, which means problems for non-conference youth and
for the campus's welfare in that quality called vitality. This assumes,
of course, that conference youth are an homogenous lot.
All isn't lost, but future alumni should concern themselves with
the school's welfare.

on Europe
by Maurice Lawson
Two high school seniors were
riding with me recently out to
Camp St. Croix, on the border of
Wisconsin. One said, "I was in
Wisconsin one other time." The
other said, "That's nothing. I was
in South Dakota once." When I
told my thirteen year old boy of
the conversation he said, "Dad!
Think where I've been—all over
the United States! And you've been
all over Europe."
It is wonderful to have travelled
seven thousand miles of the most
historically significant continent on
earth, to remember when a place
is mentioned that you have walked
the cobblestone streets of that city,

We crept down the stairs. Glancing up and down
the carol (however you spell it) desks, we saw
nothing but sedentary life vegetating there. So we
began our feverish search through the stacks (book-shelves,
that is). We were startled by a library as-sistant
who suddenly appeared mumbling some-thing

We successfully by-passed a freshman catching
up on world political background in a 1955 edition
of Life. One more obstacle and we would be there.
The only barrier was a former political science ma-jor
seminarian perusing the Congressional Record
for speeches by John Kennedy.
A quick vault and we were over a recently do-nated
collection of 2,800 volumes of the New Har-mony
Daily, and we were there. In our little corner
we waited for our cohorts. Finally we were all
there: Fred Impassivitess, Fred Unconcernson, Fred
Indifferentia (a mechanic, carrying six hours of
literature to improve his mind), Fred dull Ness,
and Austin Healy (freshman son of a faculty mem-ber,
whom we accepted with some reluctance), and
There we were in our third annual meeting of
the SPESA (Society for Preservation and Encour-agement
of Student Apathy). We were charter
members, except Austin of course. But we were
the same number due to the loss of Sonata Apa-thetique
who said he had lost all enthusiasm for
the apathy cause.
Austin, the secretary, forgot the minutes of the
last meeting—said he thought they'd been dropped
in a March of Dimes canister with a couple pen-nies,
up at the Flameburger.
Our meeting consisted of progress reports alone.
Impassivitess and Unconcernson, who had overcome
nationality prejudice to work together, reported
that they had infiltrated the Spire staff and had
three sympathizers. Impassivitess, paradoxically an
optimist, estimated that if they kept getting more
influential a 1961 Spire would be out of the ques-tion,
and with luck the 1960 volume would be de-layed
in delivery by the Christmas rush.
Indifferentia and dull Ness, who had come out
of retirement from spreading apathy on the battle-field
of the intramural floor, reported that about
60% of the intramural spring sports championships
would be decided by forfeit.
Young Austin reported that he, a future psy-chology
major, had been a verbal wolf in sheep's
clothing, by veiling his cynicism in enthusiasm, so
as not to be suspected. "After all, I am a freshman."
We said that we were doing well with public
relations and had made friends with leaders on
both dormitory councils, the convocation commit-tee,
and the pre-seminary association.
Austin then proposed that one of us run for stu-dent
senate office in the spring, but we immediately
informed him that such an action would be against
even our system of values. Young Austin got ex-ceedingly
angry; he even threatened to tell his
father about us. He broke up the meeting by ex-ploding
out of our corner of ethereal shadows tak-ing
six volumes of the New Harmony Daily with
We sat in wondering silence. Unconcernson said,
"What if he squeals. I knew we shouldn't let him
in the group. If only we hadn't lost Sonata Apa-thetique."
We reassured Fred that Austin wasn't enthus-iastic
enough to do anything. Fred turned to us and
smiled, and we watched him creep past the Congres-sional
Record (that guy was still there), and as
we waited our turn we wiped a tear from our eye,
and felt that lack of surge in our breast that is

Team Brings Home Two
Wins From Wisconsin
Northland Dumps Bethel;
Two Tied for Loop Lead
Northland college of Ashland, Wisconsin defeated Bethel college
last Saturday night and also knocked Bethel out of sole possession of
the Badger-Gopher conference lead. Northland playing on their home
court and will Bill Arntsen leading the way blasted Bethel in the sec-ond
half of the game to acquire an impressive 69-57 victory and also a
portion of the league lead.
Northland, who had previously been defeated by Bethel, had trou-ble
with the Royal five during the first half of the ball game. Bethel
looked very strong and were able to end the first half of the game lead-ing
by a three point margin.
The second half told another
story, however, as Northland came
back fast and strong. They started
to use a tight man-to-man defense
which put a strong press on the
Royal guards. Bethel's offensive
play was hampered by this, and its
partial result was a low shooting
percentage. Bill Arntsen, a small
Northland guard, had only hit for
four points during the first half
of the game, but in the second
half he began to rip the nets, and
when the game ended he had ac-cumulated
a total of 23 points. At the same time it seemed almost im-possible
for the Bethel team to score. The outcome of the half was, of
course, not good (in our sight), and when the final buzzer sounded
Bethel was trailing by twelve points, 69-'57.
In the scoring department, Wayne Kindall was high for Bethel with
19 points. Truman Turnquist swished through 12, while Les Borms
scored nine; and Mery Sheplee and John Peterson scored eight apiece.
For Northland the high scorer was Bill Arntsen with 23; Frank Hunter
was second with 18 points. Free throws played an important part in the
scoring for Northand as the team connected for 18 out of 23.
The story isn't finished, however. Bethel and Northland now hold
identical 6-1 conference records. It is probable that both teams will go
undefeated for the rest of the season (only three games left). We think
this will happen and predict that the season will end in a tie for con-ference
The thought haunts us, as it does all Bethel fans, that, "It was a
rough one to lose."

Tuesday, February 16, 1960
The women's intramural athletic program, headed by Sue Bodien, is
under full swing for all interested women students.
The students have been placed on one of six teams and competition
is being held in volleyball. Team four is leading thus far with a 2-0 re-cord.
Teams one, two, three, and five have 1-1 records while team six
is still awaiting its first win.
Bethel Falls
to Sioux Falls
and River Falls
by Gordon Bear
With the finals behind them, the
Bethel Royals traveled to Sioux
Falls, South Dakota on Jan. 30
to suffer their fourth non-confer-ence
loss by a score of 80-69.
The game was close until the
starting five of Bethel fouled out.
The opponents, putting their free
throw opportunities to work for
them and taking full advantage of
the Bethel handicap, humbled the
Royals who had previously beaten
them the first basketball game of
the season.
On Feb. 6, a week later, the
Bethel squad was matched in a
home game against the River Falls
Falcons and again came out on
the short end of a 76-68 score.
The tall Falcons started out fast
and were leading 20-16 when ten
minutes had passed. But the blue
and gold with good outside shoot-ing
from the guards came to the
half leading 3'5-34.
The second half was the decisive
part of the game. The opponents
started out with a full court press
against Bethel and continued
through the entire game. Ahead
with the press, the Falcons used
their superior height in the back
court to work off the pivot and
bring the game to 58-49 with ten
minutes remaining.
The point margin remained the
same until Bethel started rally-ing,
with four minutes remaining
they began to hit the nets. It was
too late, however, as the Falcons
began to stall and the game ended
with Bethel on the tail end of a
72-68 score.
The "B" squad game saw the
River Falls team win by a score
of 64-43. Bud Pierce, assistant
basketball coach, used the entire
Royal team.
by Dan Anderson
As the basketball intramural
program gets ready for its fifth
set of games, the Barons find
themselves still in command with
an undefeated record in four
games. Hot on their heels though,
are the two teams that are battling
for second place, the Peasants and
Dukes, each owning a three and
one record.
The Counts and Knights are tied
for third place with two and two
records, and are still in contention
for the coveted number one spot.
Still two other teams, the Pages
and Squires, are all knotted up
for fourth with one and three re-cords,
while the Jesters, who still
have yet to see a game in their
win column, bring up last place
with their zero and four mark.
Unlike intramural volleyball,
these basketball games enjoy fairly
good participation, and only one
game out of the sixteen that have
been played to date, has been for-feited
by the absence of players.
The basketball games are usually
very skillfully played, and these
teams run up some pretty healthy
varsity-sized scores in their quest
for victory.
The Knights won their Feb. 3
game by an impressive 110-73
score, and in their last game, the
Dukes equalled this mark by win-ning
110-57. Also in this game, the
Duke's Sid Duren set an individual
scoring high when he dumped in
46 points.

A hearty gang of Bethel Royal
basketball players invaded Wis-consin
for two important Badger-
Gopher Conference tussles on Jan.
22, 23.
In the first game, played Friday
evening, Jan. 22, at Northwestern,
Wisconsin, Bethel romped into
triple scoring figures as they
dumped their Northwestern Col-lege
foes, 102-86. After a close
first half, which ended with the
Royals in front, 43-40, a great
team effort enabled Bethel to roll

victory (53-51) by the senate, the

Upon consultation, Lynn Lundin,
expert, said, "They do it in golf."
Much could be said about many
of the players, but perhaps the
epitome of sacrifice was exhibited

points, respectively.
In a crucial Saturday night bat-tle

Wildcats, 62-58. This see-saw
struggle was a thriller all the way,
with Milton threatening for the
last time with a minute and thirty
seconds remaining. The Cats
couldn't overcome a six point lead,
however, and succumbed to Bethel's
ball-handling poise.

One of the reasons cloud computing is expected to be popular with small-to-medium (SMB) organizations is that the state of their IT operations is considered suspect given budget limitations and the skill level of the people they can afford to hire.
While there is clearly a lot of room for improvement, a new survey of 200 IT decision makers at U.S. organizations with five to 50 employees, conducted by Opinion Matters on behalf of GFI Software, finds that the state of IT within most IT organizations can best be described as a mixed bag. There appears to be lot more confidence in the skill set of IT staff than was initially thought, but that confidence is far from universal.

Sleek have been getting it right quite a lot lately so I was quite excited to get my hands on their new Kajal Eyeliner. I love a good black eyeliner and have tried quite a traditional Indian Kajal before.
Sleek MakeUP's Kajal Eyeliner looks very much like Guerlain's release last summer and also a bit like Pure's Kajal/Kohl crayon like offering.
Its simple, functional looking – better than some bizarre or cheapy looking packaging I think.
Like the Guerlain and Pure Kajal pencils, the Sleek one is like a waxy but cream crayon.
According to the press release this crayon can be used at an angle (so it never needs sharpening) and you can use the tip of something quite precise, or use and edge for a more smudgy, soft effect.
The Kajal eyeliner is available in two colours – Odyssey (metallic purple) and Nocturnal (black – the one I have).
Its a pretty decent black – the colour is rich and pigmented.
Applying the kajal is pretty easy, the end of it is blunt and rounded so it was quick to apply and no subsequent accidental poking in the eye. I used this to tightline too and it was quite easy to use.
My lashes are all over the place at the moment do excuse.
If there is one problem with this Kajal is that it is very smudgy. With a few blinks some of the colour had run slightly off my waterline (I have very watery eyes) but I cleaned this up with a cotton but and set the liner with a tiny bit of eyeshadow. Voila! All fixed.
I would definitely recommend this if you love your soft easy to use eyeliners – its quite fool proof and the result is smoky and scchhheexxxxxxyyyyyyyy
Kajal eyeliners are £3.99 each and available in Superdrug.
