Anti your basis is that 100% of people entering law school want to be lawyers and that is far from true. Furthermore, TJSL has poor bar passage rates and as a result people who do not pass the bar cannot work as lawyers. TJSL is on pass with the state average in California of 50% bar passage. If you knew how the bar exam works you would realize you don't get your bar results in California until November so you literally cannot be licensed to practice law until 6 months after you graduate in May. Then people are not exactly hiring during Thanksgiving and Christmas so January is when you can really start looking for work. This is 8 months after graduation so the statistics are very skewed as a result of that alone since 9 months is the reporting date. With that obstacle alone you can see numerous flaws in the reporting of information. Now TJSL has a 52% bar passage rate which is poor and this means 48% of people cannot be licensed to practice law until results of the February Bar are released in May. So for those 48% they literally could not work as lawyers within 9 months of graduation so the information is again flawed. To add on to this I cannot tell you how many people I went to school with who had a JD/MBA combination who repeatedly told me they had no desire to practice law and went on to work in business. Not everyone listed working in the business sector is working at Starbucks. There are also people with joint degrees in clinical psychology and other joint programs as well. On top of that I knew several students from the Middle East and South America whose parents were extremely wealthy and just wanted them to go to law school for the intellectual challenge. When you get through all of those flaws in reporting there are numerous people who wanted to be lawyers when they enrolled, passed the bar, and went on to work as attorneys, but simply never filled out the survey like myself. So the info is terribly flawed based on the factors I listed above. Again I am all for lawschooltransparency, but show me one other profession that keeps any detailed employment information on their graduates. Law school at the very least does that I am not aware of any other profession that does. Now with that all said OP TJSL has the worst bar passage rate in California that is not a good sign, but the California Bar Exam is far more up to the individual than the school. In February 2011 Berkeley had a 71% bar passage rate and Stanford a 75% passage rate. http://admissions.calbar.ca.gov/Portals/4/documents/Statistics/FEBRUARY2012STATS.pdf . Those are both pretty good schools, but attending them does not guarantee you success on the bar exam. Now even if you pass the bar it is a tough job market, but it is done I mean am employed as a lawyer and I am rambling on the internet at 12:30 a.m. so it can be done, but it was not easy for me. However, I truly love my job and what I do so if being a lawyer is what you want go for it. TJSL will get you a ticket to take the bar exam and if your ready to really fight and work your ass of good things can happen, but there are no guarantees.
I don't have a financial interest in any law school, but I could be lying and be the Dean of TJSL posting on the internet to encourage you to attend or I could be some bum in a library. What I really am if you want to believe it is a guy who went to law school and was terrified by posters such as Anti09 when I was a OL. However, having gone through law school I realized that listening to people who have never set foot in a law school classroom and for some reason spends hours a day posting about the pitfalls of law school on the internet probably are not the best source of information. I am also not a good source because I have never met you and know nothing about your situation, what you want, or what is best for you.
Jack24 who posts on this site and I can tell from his writing actually attended law school makes some valid points regarding the economics of law school. I agree with most of that analysis and if you are going to law school to make money and nothing else I would not recommend TJSL or law school in general. However, if you really want to be a D.A., Public Defender, City Attorney, or have some cause you really believe in then TJSL can work out for you, but you know what your personal goals are and perhaps those who personally know you can offer insight as well.
If you go to TJSL and pass the bar you can probably find work as a lawyer,
but it will take time and it will not be much money when you start out. For all three years of law school you will be stressed about finding a job and incurring substantial debt. Then you will take the bar exam with those stressors and it will be a terrible summer and even worse 4 month waiting period. If you pass you will then be a licensed lawyer, but it will then be up to you to make a career with that law license and the money is not great for the majority of lawyers, but it can be a very rewarding career for the right person.
Take everything you read from anonymous internet posters with a major grain of salt. Next visit the school, talk to current students, and e-mail alumni http://www.superlawyers.com/lawschool/Thomas-Jefferson-School-of-Law/fad6dace-84c4-102c-aca4-000e0c6dcf76.html these are people who can meet and assess their credibility.
If law school is so awful then why don't you take your own advice and get out? It truly sounds like you hate the system and nobody is forcing you to attend law school. If you are this upset with law school your going to hate being a lawyer even more and be miserable. Honestly, I would drop out tommorow if I was in your situation it sounds like your miserable. Your the classic example of someone that shouldn't be there so leave and move onto something you enjoy.
I am not advising OP not to attend law school. I am simply advising OP to sit down and crunch the numbers . . . it will become quickly apparent that attending this school, at the price OP would be paying, is financial suicide even if OP is lucky enough to find a job.
Santa Barbara College of law had 15 takers 13 passed http://learn.collegesoflaw.edu/welcome (there is the website and it is not even ABA approved. University of Michigan allegedly one of the top law schools in the world had 15 takers and 12 passed. As a result Santa Barbara must be a better school because statistics don't lie. However, as Jack and I know having taking the bar exam the July test is the real indicator, but in the bar exam administered in February 2012 Santa Barbara did better than Michigan that is a statistic.
Georgetown another top law school only has a 62% rate and 13% are school funded so only 49% of Georgetown grads are actually working in the legal field. http://www.lstscorereports.com/?school=gulc&show=charsHowever, I am sure within 5 years most people from Georgetown who stick to it to fine.
Anti why as a law student you don't know what the real world is and whatever stats LST shows regarding a school do not guarantee you a job or even that you will pass the bar. (Unless you attend Marquette or Wisconsin, which grant you automatic admission. On the bar exam you will not be able to say I went to X school so let me pass and when your applying to jobs you won't be able to say my school had x employment rate so you must higher me. Soon enough you will be in the real world and see these statistics mean very little.

We begin with the vast unknown, or what we personally consider to be the vast unknown.
If we are lucky, we may soon discover someone who is quite familiar with what we may previously have believed to be unknowable. This is especially true in family history research. We need to know how to find what is easily known, then to distinguish between that and what may be more difficult to find, and then come to terms with what may be impossible to discover.
Perhaps an older relative, or even a younger one, may know more than you, whether that relative fits on the same branch of your family tree, or on another branch, towards the top of the canopy or nearer the roots. A few academic researchers may have been exploring aspects or your heritage, too.
I recently found the above image on Wiki Commons. It is said to represent Tuscan emigrants leaving for New Zealand from Leghorn (Livorno) in the 1890s. If you know more about the picture, or other paintings like it, perhaps you would could contact me. Perhaps some of your own ancestors are in the picture!
As far as I know, my husband's Italian relatives left Europe for Australia through Naples, Genoa, Venice and London. Have you looked up shipping records and passenger lists for your migrant ancestors? Have you collected birth, marriage and death records from a variety of (no cost and low cost) sources?
Beginning your family history research
Just like migrants going out into the world in search of a new home in a new land (I include myself here, as I am a first-generation migrant), taking the first steps into family history can often be the most difficult. For anyone just starting to scratch the surface for information about the ancestors within themselves, I would recommend one basic way to begin. It is to protect what you already know, and already have, in terms of family records and heirlooms. This is so much easier with digital technology.
Knowing the questions you want to answer
Being able to judge whether a record is of any importance in helping you to trace the steps of history backwards, you may like to think about the who, what, where, when, why and how questions for what you already know, and what is still a mystery.
This picture, from the report of 1853 by John Cobden, called The White Slaves of England, may depict some of my ancestors, of even one or more of your own. How much of your own family history do you already know about in a fairly general way?
Were any of your ancestors employed as hurriers? Were they migrants? Were they educated? Were they healthy?
If you have British ancestors, you may find this link to the British Library quite useful.
Making copies of your records and findings
If you are yet to buy or borrow a document/image scanner, this might be the time to look for a good one, especially if you have a collection of old slide films sitting in a box in a cupboard somewhere. The link above is to a Wikipedia page about the history of scanners. We can discover all sorts of interesting things about cultural history while researching family history, especially about the invention and development of various tools and technologies.
Quite a few digital cameras these days can make fairly good copies of most pictures and documents, but slides (and cine film) can be more difficult to copy cheaply and quickly. A good scanner with have a feature that will turn your neglected slides into digital slide shows. Here is a link about the history of cameras.
My main scanner (I have two now, for different purposes) also came with an easy-to-use photo editing program. Above is my grandfather Harry, in a picture I enlarged from a very small original. Being a non-technical person, especially as far as computers are concerned, the easier the better is my usual preference, as long as all the features I require are available and accessible. Being able to enlarge little pictures is certainly a great advantage.
Protecting the originals and the copies
Making copies and collages of family records and pictures is so much easier with digital editing options. All of my most precious photographs, old slides, cine film, videos, as well as the pictures I have taken of heirlooms and souvenirs, and digital copies of important documents, are now on dvd and cd in various spots, high and low, around my house. They are also in my mother's house on the other side of the world.
Several of my most precious photographs are also on my blogs now, too - for even safer keeping (I hope). Some photos are also kept online in a couple of my email accounts.
Insurance cannot replace the loss of unique records. I especially cannot imagine what it must be like to lose family photographs. How safe are yours?
Still searching for those totally unique originals
Perhaps it is even worse for people who have never owned any family records in the first place.
I wish that I had a photograph of my husband's maternal grandfather, who died of silicosis in 1945 after working for almost twenty years in the mines in Broken Hill. My mother-in-law says that my husband looks quite like her father, an educated man who had trained for the priesthood in the Veneto region of Italy before the First World War.
Sharing the Lode: The Broken Hill Migrant Story
I also wish I had some photographs of my paternal grandfather's family (George was orphaned before the age of five), and more photographs of my maternal grandmother's family (Dorothy was also orphaned before the age of five).
Asking others for advice and support
If you have been researching your family history for some time, you may find that other people seek your advice on where to make a start on their own quest. What do you say to them?
Have you joined a local family history group? Have you joined a group associated with a place connected with your ancestry?
Have you gathered all of the useful information you think might be available from and about the family members you already know?
Gaining confidence and competence
If you have never done any sort of research before, the wonderful thing about family history is that it provides a range of skills that are applicable to many other areas of knowledge. What you are mainly searching for is evidence, for facts, for the truth. Some of your family members may feel uncomfortable about that, especially if aspects of the truth have been hidden for a generation or more.
You will become a genealogical detective, follow leads, weigh up whether findings actually relate to your family, or to someone with a similar name, and you may also find that you will have some difficult personal decisions to make.
More exciting than fiction
Unlike the predictable stories in many works of fiction, family history research can be far more interesting and entertaining than any film or television drama. You will be in a starring role, with a hidden script that gradually reveals itself in all sorts of surprising ways. It will take you on a fascinating journey.
Have you read my first ever blog post on the topic of family history?
Have you read my second blog post about identity across the centuries?
Some genealogical news
You may know that some time ago, I was nominated for a Kreativ Blogger Award. Much to my surprise, I have now been nominated for an Ancestor Approved Award by Shauna Hicks. It is certainly an honour as Shauna is a highly experienced researcher.
There are so many interesting connections and relationships within family history research, whether people are related or not. I have just discovered that one of my family surnames - Gyseman - may be pronounced in many different ways.
I have always known the first syllable as Guys, as in the musical Guys and Dolls. Now I have just discovered that it may also be pronounced as Geez, thanks to some comments recently left on my 1870s Migration from Belgium to London blog post.
The comments were by Charlotte Gyseman, who is studying computer games design at university. I wonder if a family history computer game has been developed. Do you know of one?
Here is another of my blog posts that Charlotte, and other Gysemans, may find of interest: Flemish Ancestors. I have also listened to the sound of the original name, Gysemans, on Google Translate. Unfortunately there is no Flemish available there, only Dutch. In the latter language, Gysemans sounds to me like Hissy Mons.
Have you heard the sound of your family surnames as spoken by speakers of other languages?
Well, this is one of my longer blog posts, so apologies if it is keeping you from your own research, whether into family history, computer games design, or digital imaging. It has been keeping me from preparing dinner!

Chris Donaldson, program man-ager
for the station, pointed out
that he believes KTCA-TV is in a
unique position to offer practical
experience in up-to-date television
theories and practices. "Although
the student may not be planning a
career in television or a related
field," Donaldson said, "the exper-ience
gained here will give the
student deeper understanding and
more appreciation of the television
he may see in his home."
From Guy Ueckert, senior pro-ducer-
director at channel 2, the man
who will direct training, came a
partial picture of available jobs
for Bethel students under the
training program. Ueckert listed
floor directing, camera operating,
audio board operation, stage set-ting,
and lighting as a. few of the
jobs available. Ueckert emphasized
that the training program is not
meant to be a part-time job for
the students, but rather an en-largement
of their background
knowledge generally and as prac-tical
experience for those interest-ed
in careers in radio and tele-vision.
Paul Owen also revealed that
plans are presently underway to
provide a second level of training.
The advanced training will be pro-vided
for those students who wish
broader knowledge and understand-ing
of both a practical and theo-retical
nature. Training will take
the form of a weekly seminar in-volving
staff and station admini-stration.
Subject areas will be gen-erally
unrestricted although they
will deal with mass communica-tions
and education through tele-vision.
Regional and national de-velopments
as well as items of
local import will be discussed.

Bethelians at 'YD' Convention
Books, etc.
Dear Editors:
On our campus stands our mo-dern,
well - equipped library, by
definition a place where books are
collected for the purposes of study
and reading. What should the
functions of such an establishment
be, in addition to being a place
where one may select and check
out books ?
There are many books and
magazines which the student is
not allowed to check out of the
library. Therefore, one must read
and study them there. But the
large main room of the library is
no place in which to concentrate,
at least not in the evenings.
Granted, it seems to be a mar-velous
place to meet friends and
visit, and there are enough side
activities going on to keep one
from being bored, but is this the
purpose of our library ? Are not
there other places on campus more
suitable for meetings, conferences
and just plain visiting ?
If those people who do not in-tend
to study would only refrain
from going over to the library
in the evenings, those who do
wish to learn something from
books would have a chance.
A College Sophomore
The Noble Salad
Dear Editors:
I would like to commend Roy
C. Dalton for his noble and elo-quent
defense of tomato aspic
salad in the last issue of the
CLARION. Many of us had been
shocked by the unkind and irre-sponsible
statements made in the
CLARION by the "tomato aspic
Many of us shuddered and bit
our lips. Many said, "Do they hold
nothing sacred any more ?" To-mato
aspic salad had been at-tacked!
Yet did a single tomato
aspic salad lover reply to these
slanderous statements ? No . . not
one! It remained for Roy C. Dal-ton,
who honestly admits that
"tomato aspic is not (his) favor-ite
dish," to respond to the chal-lenge,
take up the gauntlet, put
on his armor, and ride out against
the foe.
Now the powers of darkness
have been put to flight. The vocif-erous,
though misguided, critics
of tomato aspic salad have been
routed and silenced. They have
slunk off to their dens, sadder
but wiser men. Quiet, now reigns
in our land once again. And with
the end of the conflict and the
coming of paece I see newer, and
perhaps even greater, possibilities
for the future.
Perhaps in future issues of the
CLARION faculty members, or
some of our more talented stu-dents,
could lovingly write of their
own particular favorite salads.
Some of our more sensitive and
imaginative souls might even pre-fer
to express their sentiments
in the musical language of poetry.
The possibilities overwhelm me!
Even now I can imagine seeing a

had problems too; and so on.

defense, the challenge should not
be ignored.

The attendance of two
Bethel students at the Na-tional
Young Democrat con-vention
is a first for this
campus. The fact that only
twenty - two Minnesotans
went adds to its importance.
For these reasons we asked
Ian Paterson, president of
the Bethel chapter of the
YDFL, to report his exper-iences.—
Williams of Michigan (wearing his
traditional green bow tie with the
polka-dots. "Soapy" they call him),
Senator Hubert Humphrey and
former President Harry S. Tru-man.
(I haven't washed my hands
for three weeks.)
For us from the Minnesota dele-gation
there was also the meeting
of the Liberal Caucus—scheduled
for 3:20 Friday night (Saturday
morning actually). (The Liberal
Caucus was one of two large
groups, comprised of various
states' delegations, which nomi-nated
candidates for the national
offices, and who tried to muster
sufficient voting strength to win.)
This meeting was to decide, by
vote, which candidate it should
back, for within the Liberal Cau-cus
there were smaller coalitions
who had candidates who wanted
to be President, or V. P., etc. Why
3 :20 a.m. ? Oddly enough it was
the most convenient time — most
differences among the contenders
were settled, most social life was
over. Also, few would come to an
early morning meeting.
In the noontime parade through
downtown Toledo, the Minnesota
delegation made a good showing,
but was at the end of the mile-long
line because of the wonder-fully
disorganized parade tactics
on our part—that is to say, we
were late. However we were not
the very last. There was one other
—New Jersey—my home state.
The crowd which packed the
convention hall after the parade
for the final voting that Satur-day
afternoon was the typical
banner - waving, endless chanting
("We want Mauzey"—from Texas,
"our choice for President"), long
nominating speeching, wildly
cheering, state song singing crowd
of any national political conven-tion.
Out of the total of 1031
votes the candidates of the Liberal
Caucus were defeated by nineteen
—an excitingly tight battle. The
balance was wielded by Kansas
which split its vote. Had it voted
entirely with us we would have
won by three votes. If .. .
To me the experiences at the
convention were educational and
very enjoyable (a combination
which to many college students
may seem contradictory). I hope
however, that some day more
Bethel students may participate in
a similar gathering.
A Reality?
We imagine the glories
of stories from pages
of books on our shelves.
We stand convinced
and incensed when
some disagree.
We believe, but must ask
if we can see,
actually see —
the Holy Child as plain
as this morning's
front page.
Programs, Planners,
Criticism, Christian
Almost perenially a program is presented at Bethel which is criti-cized
as being inconsistent with a "campus of Christian scholarship."
This fall it was homecoming, last year it was an abbreviated and ex-purgated
"South Pacific," and before that it was something else.
These criticisms are seldom leveled at the quality of a program
but usually at its propriety.
Apparently something is wrong when student leaders consistently
offend the "campus of Christian scholarship." It is interesting to note
that student leaders have been responsible for the "undesirable" pre-sentations.
For it is true that these people are student leaders — by
the choice of the students. When the student body elects student senate
officers they entrust these people with the duty of appointing respon-sible
people to positions of planning and programming.
Assuming that the elected officers don't change their convictions
or lose their desirable qualities following election, the people in posi-tions
of planning are the people's choices.
So the planners are not "outsiders" trying to infiltrate Bethel with
"things of the world" in order to effect a gradual secularization that
will end in Bethel's complete decline as a "campus of Christian scholar-ship."
These leaders are inconsistent with this unique community if
a majority of this community's constituents "don't belong."
But the problem exists.
At present the student senate, in an attempt to ease the situation,
is working on a policy (via a committee) regarding Bethel activities
and their relationship to the purposes of the school. A policy, similar
in purpose, has been drawn by a faculty committee.
Ideally the student policy and faculty policy would be brought
together, made one, with minor differences ironed out, and Bethel
would have a policy, an official policy.
Not rules, but a policy—part of Bethel's uniqueness lies in its
small number of rules.
This policy would serve a two-fold purpose. It would be used by
student planners as a guide and reminder of the goals of the school.
And, if the policy were adhered to, these leaders would have a defense
in case of more "secularization" charges.
So, hopefully, the problem will be solved. Responsible students
will elect responsible leaders who will have a responsible framework
to function within and there will be no criticism.
Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have a little qualitative criticism,
though. As long as we are going to have proper programs, we might
as well have good ones.

Even Now Christmas is
Near, Have a Suggestion
by Maureen Bronstein
The gladdest season of the year is again upon us. The bells are
jingling; glad festivities are on their way; and your Christmas list
and look are still incomplete.
It may not be the night before Christmas, but St. Nick will soon
be here and maybe a few ideas would be helpful.
Mamma in her kerchief seems to present many problems. Usually
it's a question of what she needs most. Mamma usually needs things
for around the house: linens, towels, or maybe if one can afford it
she'd really appreciate a new electric appliance to replace that worn-out
Poor Dad always seems to be the one who has everything. If it
appears that he does, there are many ideas at the accessory counters
for men in the larger department stores. With just a little imagi-nation
Dad, too, can have a happy Christmas.
For a special girl there are so many things. Jewelry is big this
year—and lots of it. I'd venture that a new pin for her favorite sweater
or dress would really be appreciated.
Say, girls, here's the chance to buy him one of those special shirts
you always thought he'd look so good in. And a new bulky sweater
would probably be the sharpest thing he could get for Christmas.
Roommates should exchange the kinds of gifts that they most
want. Pure silk blouses are really neat girls—and even neater to care
Here we are all taken up in the holiday whirl in what is a golden
fashion season. For a scoop, try a scooped velveteen blouse and fancy
skirt for that all-important New Year's Eve date. Or else a silk shirt-waist
dress is really smart. And you can wear these so often.
And as St. Nick exclaimed ere he drove out of sight, "Happy
Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!"

"The seminar," said Owen, "will
generally flow in tune with the
particular interests of the students
at the time. We may spend one
meeting discussing something of
current importance or we might
cover FCC policies and historical
decisions. I'm sure that there are
students at Bethel who are inter-ested
in this training," he conclud-ed.
In a final comment on the en-tire
program, Guy Ueckert pointed
out that because of the large vol-ume
of live programming carried
by the station there are ample op-portunities
for many students.
"Background in television is un-necessary,"
he said. "All we want

Second Guessers
by Dan Anderson
The Second Guessers got off to a rousing start last Thursday,
Dec. 3, at 6:30 p.m. in the president's dining room, with an interesting
and frank discussion on basketball — Royal style.
The only fact that marred the half-hour was the attendance —
or lack of it. (There's no rule prohibiting girls from attending.)
When asked to give his opinion of the first three games, of which
Bethel won two, Coach Healy said that he would group the first two
together, and leave the third separate because it was a lot better than
the first two. He said the first game (Sioux Falls), although a good
one from the average spectator's view, was just a victory over a
mediocre team, with which we played mediocre ball.
Mr. Healy didn't say much
about the LaCrosse game — just
shook his head. The encouraging
thing about it, he said, was the
rebounding and the way our boys
came back in the last quarter. The
rebounding was also the high
point in the St. Paul Bible college
game. Coach Healy pointed out
that in this game, we out-rebound-ed
SPBC 64-16. Mr. Healy is also
pleased with the boys' shooting
percentages so far this year, al-though
shooting is the main rea-son
for the newest shakeup in the
Royal starting five.
Coach Healy has put sharpshooter Mery Sheplee in, and moved
John Peterson from his forward position to a starting guard. Wayne
Kindall will still be playing center, but Jim Ekblad will be starting
left forward and Truman Turnquist moved to right forward. Truman,
also sitting in at the meeting with Coach Healy, was asked if the shift
would hamper his playing. He replied that since he has played this
position before, it wouldn't. He also stated that this year's Royals
shouldn't have any trouble equaling last year's record of 15-7.
When asked what he thought of 'Wayne Kindall's playing this
year, Truman said he was impressed with Kindall's playing, which
both Truman and Mr. Healy think is better than his performance last
year. Truman said that Wayne has adapted himself very nicely to the
center position, and his shooting from this position gets better every
day. The fact that Wayne made 52% of his shots in the SPBC game
bears Truman's statement out very well.
Coach Healy said he was pleased with our pre-Christmas schedule,
and that River Falls would be one of our toughest opponents this year.
That's the first Second Guessers' meeting in a nutshell. The next
one will be held tonight at 6:30, in the president's dining room.
Football Again? Yup!
Here are some statistics from this year's football season in which
you might be interested.
Bethel scored 41 points to 120 scored by their opponents. Ken

Bethel Rolled
Over St. Paul
Bible College
by Gordon Bear
The Bethel Royals rolled to an
easy 72-46 victory over the St.
Paul Bible college squad in the
fieldhouse Tuesday, Dec. 1. The
basketball victory was the second
of the season for the Royals over
one defeat.
From the opening jump to the
final buzzer, the victors controlled
the lead by a combination of good
shooting and ball handling. With
Wayne Kindall's hook shot and
John Peterson's set shot, the op-ponents
found it hard to keep in
pace with the Blue and Gold. The
first half closed with Bethel ahead
The home team held about the
same margin throughout the first
part of the second half. With ten
minutes remaining, Coach Healy
started substituting until almost
all the reserves had entered the
game. The reserves held the rivals
to almost the same lead as the
starting five. Before the end of
the game, both coaches had drawn
freely from the bench. The clos-

The Royals traveled to LaCrosse,
Wis., on Nov. 24, and were handed
their first defeat of the season.
Bethel was unable to capitalize on
a break in the final seconds, and
the score ended at 58-56.
During the first half of the
game LaCrosse State held the lead
and the Royals trailed close be-hind.
The first half ended with
LaCrosse in control by an eight
point lead, 38-30.
In the second half LaCrosse be-gan

left in the game were hold-ing
a 15 point lead. Then the
Royals offense caught fire and
through consistent scoring they
came within two points of over-coming
the LaCrosse five. With
about twenty seconds remaining
in the game Bethel had possession
of the ball and had only to sink
one basket to tie up the game. A
bad pass, however, was intercept-ed
by a LaCrosse guard and
Bethel's chances for a victory were
gone. The final buzzer sounded
with the Royals on the short end
of a 58-56 score.
A highlight of the game was the
consistent scoring by Bethel's Tru-man
Turnquist. He swished
through 24 points to be the lead-ing
scorer of the game.

Bethel Royals
Downed River
Falls 88-83
by Don Delich
Bethel College subdued a last-ditch
comeback attempt by the
River Falls Falcons to defeat the
badger state team 88-83 Saturday
evening, Dec. '5, at River Falls,
Wis. Sophomore Mery Sheplee led
a balanced Royal scoring attack
with 26 counters in his debut as a
starter. This team effort overcame
a 20-plus point production by three
Falcon starters.
Bethel surged to an early mar-gin
and commanded the contest
throughout the first half, only to
lose their lead and trail 40-39 at
the intermission. In the second
half, the score jockeyed back and
forth, being tied at 45-45, 51-51,
and 55-55, before the Royals took
charge and opened up an eight
point spread at 68-60 at the ten
minute mark. With twenty sec-onds
of play remaining, Lee Baj-uniemi
put the game on ice by
converting a free throw to make
it 84-81, Royals.
In notching their third victory
against one setback in this young
basketball campaign, Bethel ex-emplified
potent team scoring with
four men hitting in double figures.
The totals were as follows: Shep-lee-
26, Kindall-19, Turnquist-
17, Peterson — 15, Bajuniemi — 7,
and Larson-2.
Guard Dick Larson wrenched a
knee late in the first period and
may be out of action for some
time. The extent of the injury was
not yet fully determined.

Highlander Unchained
Author: Donna Fletcher
Date Published: September 2012
The infamous warrior Cree is paraded before the village Dowell and though shackled and wounded he walks with arrogant pride, meeting all the curious and fearful stares of the villagers with a fierceness that has them quickly turning their heads away… all but one woman.
Dawn cannot keep her eyes off the captured warrior, though tales of his exploits suggests he's more devil than man. When his eyes meet hers, she wonders if the notorious tales are true for only the devil himself could be that sinfully handsome.
Dawn is summoned by the liege lord Colum and ordered to tend Cree, in all ways possible, while he awaits his fate, and please him she must or suffer the consequences. Colum laughs when he issues his orders. He's sending not only a plain woman to please the mighty warrior in his final days, but one he'll find no pleasure with. After all what man wants a woman who cannot utter a sound?
But no shackles can hold Cree and when he breaks free he returns to claim the voiceless woman who found a way into his silent heart.

Most of today's built-in sound cards are to some degree retaskable, which means that they can be used for more than one thing. That means you can turn your Mic jack into an extra Headphone jack, or why not make them both line outs, and connect them to your surround receiver?
I've known for a while that the kernel exposes an interface that makes it possible to retask your jacks, but almost no one seems to use it, or even know about it. So over the past few weeks I've been working (from time to time) with HDA-Jack-Retask, a small application that makes this interface easy to use.
Although primarily meant for power users, it focuses on simplicity: Just select your codec, then select which pins you want to override and what you want them to override to: Headphones, Line Out, Mic, Line In, and so on. There are buttons for trying it out right away, and for making your override the boot-time default. And of course, a button for removing all overrides in case things did not go as planned.
Consider it beta quality for now, and it's one of those "won't work for everyone" programs, but that's mostly due to hardware and driver limitations.
It's available for Ubuntu 11.10, and you can install it by adding ppa:diwic/hda and then installing the hda-jack-retask package. Start it by running "hda-jack-retask" in a terminal. Enjoy!

Sugar Rush: Zuppa Inglese at Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria
Your daily dose of something sweet.
Zuppa Inglese ($10) is the newest dessert at Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria. Candied kumquats top a jar filled high with a custardy mascarpone mousse that's rich with yolk flavor and just sweet enough.
Dig in...and what are those cake pieces? Brown butter cake! Little golden nuggets, fluffy with a haunting finish. It's enough to add a necessary flavor dimension, though never draw attention far from that that mousse.
P.S. Get a slice of this chocolate cake to-go on the way out. They keep it at the pastry counter (near these goodies) and slice the cake to order. It's a classic chocolate cake iced over in ganache. It's topped with cacao nibs and makes for a fine breakfast.

The ear serves in part as an environmental monitoring system, sending the brain signals in response to vibrational input to understand the world around us; to move, learn, communicate, adapt, survive and thrive.
The middle ear is the gateway to a neural filtering system that helps us receive auditory information such as human speech and to simultaneously filter out unwanted sound or noise which can damage the delicate structures of the inner ear resulting in hearing loss, hyperacousis, stress, and a host of other problems.
Many recognize the vital connection between the ear and body's fight-flight response, which is physiologically linked from the middle ear to the vagal regulation system. The polyvagal theory of psychologist Stephen Porges provides a clear understanding of this mechanism. The Listening Program® with bone conduction technology is used in part as a training method to improve the function of this system.
Now a new in vivo study at Tufts University shows for the first time that there is a stress response system within the cochlea (inner ear) that mirrors the signaling pathways of the fight-flight response and protects against noise induced hearing loss. This is an exciting finding that further reveals what a marvel the auditory system is and the critical role it plays in our lives.

Back to the Start of Space Race in Beyond Planet Earth main content.
by AMNH on
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik-1, the first man-made satellite to successfully orbit the Earth, its beeping signal picked up by radio operators around the globe. Weighing in at just under 184 pounds and measuring 22.8 inches in diameter, Sputnik soared to space amid the tensions of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, creating significant political and scientific fallout. A life-sized model of the satellite, whose name means "fellow traveler" in Russian, is featured in the current exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration.
Sputnik's success sparked a space race in which the U.S. would eventually claim victory when it landed a crew on the Moon on July 20, 1969. But the story of jockeying for supremacy in space obscures the lasting, positive legacy of Sputnik— the myriad technological advances that this first leap into space inspired and the countless subsequent satellites that have seemingly compressed distances on Earth while expanding our knowledge of the vast universe beyond.
Unmanned missions have explored every planet in the solar system and continue to travel beyond it, seeking images of the oldest, most distant galaxies. The International Space Station has hosted more than 200 men and women from countries around the world who conduct experiments and live and work in space.
Private companies are also in the mix, developing commercial vehicles to ferry astronauts, private citizens, and cargo beyond Earth's atmosphere. Scientists talk of lunar bases, elevators from the Moon to Earth, mining asteroids, sending manned missions to Mars, and even creating a habitable environment there for humans through a process called terraforming.
"We've made some fabulous discoveries but there's much more yet to learn," says astrophysicist Michael Shara, curator of Beyond Planet Earth. "In the next 50, 75, 100, 300 years, if we put our minds to it, the solar system can be ours, the detection of life beyond Earth can be ours, and eventually all of the stars in the Milky Way, the 200 billion stars, the trillion planets can be ours to explore. We just have to have the will to do it."
Don't miss Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration, on view until Sunday, August 12.

A scene from last year's NTC (Photo by JD Lasica).
Target audience: Nonprofits, cause organizations, foundations, NGOs, social enterprises, businesses, educators, journalists, general public.
The 2014 Nonprofit Technology Conference, which took place last week in DC, is a conference that so many nonprofit tech and communications staffers look forward to every year because of the great sessions, useful tips and tools, and awesome people committed to using technology to advance social good.
I was pretty excited when I saw that there was a "Disrupting the Nonprofit Sector" session. I like forward-thinking panels of this type because I look to conferences for two things: practical tools and updates on my sector that I can use straightaway on Monday morning, and importantly, sessions on the future of our sector.

Can believers and nonbelievers connect? Is there a common ground they can agree on?
Writing in the New York Times, T. M. Luhrmann thinks there may be, but admits it's going to be difficult. The author of "When God Talks Back: Understanding the American Evangelical Relationship With God," about how evangelicals develop the skills to speak to God and how it can change their minds, says that there's a line in the sand between those with faith and those without, a line that cannot be crossed because of the fundamental differences in beliefs and outlook. She tells of being at a dinner party and telling a friend about her work with evangelicals. Her friend's response was, "You talk to those people?" Luhrmann says this "in-your-face" attitude is rooted in an anthropological phenomenon called "schismogenesis," where a move by one side makes the other side dig its heels in further, and vice-versa. Evangelicals believe those without religion are dangerous to their beliefs and rights, and those without religion believe evangelicals are dangerous to their beliefs and rights. "Perhaps there is hope," Luhrmann says, "... [issues such as] same-sex marriage and abortion should not be approached by drawing a line in the sand and demonizing everyone on the other side." She says a conversation is needed to at least keep moving forward and not end up with separate camps that are permanently in conflict.
Q: What do you think?
I begin by protesting the division of humanity into "believers and non-believers." There's neither such as a thing as one who always believes everything nor one who never believes anything.
Everyone believes in something, at least some of the time — if not in God, then in some other form of transcendent truth or ultimacy; in love, or art, or justice, or patriotism or the goodness of humanity. Everyone believes in something.
And no one believes in it perfectly. The staunchest of believers in any principle or religion is subject to doubts and crises and tenets called into question, and to just plain changing their mind. Belief is a dynamic, elusive, maddening wisp of a thing, which loves nothing better than to slip like quicksilver out of our grasp and pop up someplace new.
I'll also protest, as ever, the equation of all religious people with evangelicals and fundamentalists. There are plenty of religious people who have brains as well as souls who are not threatened by differences in perspective, and even seek them out — you know, like smart people do, who enjoy lively conversation. There are plenty of us quite capable of making our way through a dinner party without bludgeoning the other guests with our religion.
Protests dispensed with, I'll end with a simple guideline for civil conversation. Don't hate me because I learned it in seminary. But I went to an ecumenical seminary where even we believers didn't see eye to eye — sometimes on anything. We quickly learned that the way we could still love each other was this:
Ask: What do you believe? And then, instead of asking why or how they believe it, say: Tell me what's beautiful about that to you.
It works. You might never agree with someone's truth agenda, but you can almost always see the beauty they see, and see how their eyes and face soften when they describe it. You don't have to agree, or even find it beautiful yourself; you just have to see that it's beautiful for them.
Problem solved. Humanity saved. Next question?
The Rev. Amy Pringle
St. George's Episcopal Church
La Cañada Flintridge
Here is Luhrmann's account in her column of being grilled by a Christian radio talk show host: "The more he put me on the spot, the more I wanted to say that I shared nothing with him and that his beliefs were flimsy dreams. And the more I resisted, the more he just got mad. He was determined. I was exhausted."
Sounds like some conversations when my siblings and I get together, with our spouses trying to stay out of the crossfire. We aren't the only family with a diverse mix of believers and nonbelievers. So yes, there can be connection across differences and finding common ground is good, in families and in society.
Luhrmann seems to be more worried about conflicts over religion in a political context, and she mentions in particular the last few election cycles. My preferred solution is not more discussion but rather to lessen the emphasis on religion in our political discourse. This is not to say of course that citizens won't continue to live their individual beliefs in their public participation.
Before the rise of fundamentalist, right-wing Christianity (not to be confused with evangelicalism) as a political force, religion in the U.S. was more of a personal, private experience, shared within families (or not) and in congregations. This was certainly true in my neck of the woods when I grew up in a religion many moons ago.
Luhrmann says "we're in real trouble" if we can't move forward in a dialogue between believers and unbelievers. I think avoiding trouble needn't involve the supernatural. Our pressing problems need rational solutions in the real world. To move forward we need to overcome schismogenesis and other dysfunctions in our government, where church and state are constitutionally separated.
Roberta Medford
My answer to the question of whether believers and non-believers can connect is "Yes." The reason I say that is because I have seen it happen many times — most recently in the congregation that I serve in La Crescenta, where we have an incredible diversity of beliefs.
But without a sense that all people have inherent dignity and value, a discussion about religious issues can simply degenerate into personal attack rather than legitimate dialogue. I am reminded of a quote by Robin Williams, who said: "I'm sorry. If you were right, I'd agree with you." With that kind of attitude, it's difficult for meaningful interaction to take place. That is not to say that two opposing people or groups will reach complete agreement. But they can each come to a respectful understanding of where the other is coming from and provide the opportunity for further learning and growth.
The second problem with the idea of connection across lines of belief and unbelief is that such a description creates a false dichotomy. Belief and nonbelief are not opposite poles of a straight line, but comprise incredible diversity along a spectrum. Most people, even those from the same religious tradition, have a variety of spiritual and religious beliefs within their groups. But if we were able to have an open and respectful dialogue, we might well find that we have more similarities than differences, unless we are totally unwilling to admit any belief other than our own.
Unfortunately, what some have called "schismogenesis" keeps us from having those conversations and encourages many, particularly our young people, to walk away from religion in favor of an unfettered spirituality that constructs bridges. I hope we can do more of that within and among our religious communities and with those beyond our artificial boundaries.
Rev. Dr. Betty Stapleford
Unitarian Universalist Church of the Verdugo Hills
La Crescenta
Believers and non-believers can by all means make meaningful personal connections by virtue of what we have in common. We are all created in the image of God. We have common basic physical and emotional needs. We all experience similar joys and trials in life. I enjoy connecting with non-believers by simply asking about their lives and listening to them. The basic similarities always surface and they foster an authentic human connection.
God commands believers to make connection with unbelievers by helping them with practical acts of love. "While we have opportunity, let us do good to all men...." says Galatians 6:10. He commands us to proclaim the good news about Jesus Christ to them. This proclamation stands best on a foundation of proven integrity and concern for others that is developed by personal relationship.
The degree of this connection is limited, though. "Do not be bound together with unbelievers," says Paul in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?" Believers can and should relate to unbelievers' situations, but we must never emulate their lifestyles of separation from God. Believers are in this world that is beset by spiritual darkness; but by nature, we are not of it. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world" said Jesus in John 17:16. Jesus told his followers: "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is good for nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men" (Matthew 5:13).
Pastor Jon Barta
Valley Baptist Church
Are there things that you believe are morally good or perhaps just supremely immoral? If so, by what authority do you hold such opinions? If it's by what seems personally sensible, or what stirs you emotionally, then your opinions are like all subjective opinions and have no authoritative moral weight. Who's to say, for example, that child molestation is bad or good? You say "bad," some pedophile says "good." Both cannot be correct, and the answer to this would be crucial, right?
If people simply go with majority rule or the fiat decisions of politicians, child-protection laws might get established, or we could get another Holocaust. Presently, America leads in a modern Holocaust via the abortion industry, which may not regard gestating human children as rats, but still as inhuman — "not even alive," some argue. Who'll object when society demands murder as legal right? Evangelicals, and not because of limp-wristed, personal, yucky feelings about it, but because God has spoken clearly regarding the value of human life and the curse of taking it from the innocent. We cannot recoil from issues to which God has spoken, even if society doesn't share his opinion. His alone matters, so evangelicals form ours from his all-knowing opinion, i.e., the Bible, rendering ours forever different from unbelievers and scripture negators.
Evangelicals believe Jesus Christ, the author of the "evangel" (i.e., "good news) for which we are named. We don't force him upon others, but we forcefully stand for him when unbelievers try to crucify him afresh, and we actively evangelize for the necessary salvation he established. So let's respectfully converse at social gatherings, regardless of whether we respect one another's origin of opinions. We're together in this same game of life, and without demonizing, must truthfully acknowledge we're on opposite teams.
"Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).
The Rev. Bryan Griem
Montrose Community Church
As a Christian, my role model for relating with others is Jesus Christ. I notice that he never became strident or argumentative with the unbelievers of his day. He often socially associated with them, and never turned them away when they came to him for healing. He didn't see them as targets for questions about spiritual beliefs. I've never found an instance where Jesus confronted someone by asking, "If you died tonight, would you go to heaven?"
Instead he offered them words of encouragement and reassurance that God was interested in them and loved them. He did reserve harsh words for the ultra-religious leaders who saw themselves as morally superior to the unbelieving sinners that Jesus befriended.
I believe that we can communicate and be friends with persons who do not share our faith. While there may be some issues upon which we will never reach agreement, we can agree to disagree without being disrespectful or becoming hostile. It's important to keep communicating and listen to the meaning the other person is trying to convey.
While being respectful of differences, we can also mutually seek areas of agreement where we can work together. For example, I sincerely believe that life begins at conception. While I may never be able to agree on the issue of abortion with someone who is pro-choice, we may still be able to collaborate in providing counseling and assistance to women who are in the process of making their own decisions about abortion.
I have never met an unbeliever with whom I had nothing in common, and conversely I've never met a believer with whom I had perfect agreement. I think openness and respect for every person is not only desirable, but is my freely chosen response to Christ's directive, "Love one another."
Pastor Ché Ahn
HRock Church
I strongly believe that people of all faiths — and no faith — can and must find common ground. To be sure, the various camps with which each of us identify will never come to agree on all points of contention. However, for the good of humanity, we need to respectfully agree to disagree on the few issues in dispute so that we can focus on the many over-arching, critical challenges that all of us must address together.
The issues that immediately come to mind concern human suffering such as hunger, abuse, neglect, and bigotry. These persistent problems are equal-opportunity offenders that can affect anyone, regardless of their beliefs.
We should be able join hands and support any effort to alleviate food shortages and ensure that no child ever goes to sleep hungry. The fact that this problem still exists should be a source of shame.
We need to stand shoulder-to-shoulder and protect the vulnerable among us so that they are not subject to abuse — physical, mental, or otherwise.
Together we should support groups that fight child abuse, elder abuse and the mistreatment of women.
Then there are so many people with special needs — both children and adults — who are utterly neglected and often don't have a single person in this world whom they can call a friend. Can't we commit to reaching out to at least one special soul and infinitely improve their lives in the process?
And finally, there is bigotry. So much of the suffering that humanity has endured can be traced directly back to this vile trait. Every single one of us, irrespective of who we are, what we do or where we live, has a moral obligation to do everything in our power to obliterate this abomination from our midst.
All of these are issues that people of good conscience can see eye-to-eye on. Subject like these offer common ground, and should be the driving force of the conversation.
Rabbi Simcha Backman
Chabad Jewish Center
Luhrmann is certainly correct that there is a great deal of polarization in American society today. I hope that she is also correct about ways that skeptics and believers can connect. We see around us and in the media signs of the schismogenesis she describes.
Luhrmann makes the point that most people are in the vast, noncombatant group that is not at the extremes. They are likely the best hope for us all. Most people in the U.S. have some type of faith but do not reject people without faith. Most people have concerns with the decisions others make, but are unlikely to impose their own moral views on those other people. Most people live with strong ideas and loyalties while at the same time having unresolved doubts, anxieties and yearnings. We can count on most of our fellow citizens to put reasonableness and neighborliness first and differences of belief second.
We still need to work with the small number of people who put division first. We need to make decisions about our shared roads, our shared schools and our shared taxes. Perhaps we need to talk to people who disagree with us about our shared decisions with a spirit of shared responsibility and a willingness to listen. Everyone will never agree about everything, but everyone should be willing to talk.
Steven Gibson
It's always good to keep the conversation going, even if finding some sort of middle ground seems hopeless. That's why diplomacy and more diplomacy and even more diplomacy should be engaged in, rather than war. For example, the little pipsqueak who runs North Korea is certainly an irritating presence, but is eliminating him worth your son/daughter or your grandson/granddaughter? Probably not. So we need to try to keep that conversation going.
As far as the conversation between believers and non-believers is concerned, I find that I have always had close friends on the other side, in both politics and religion. I don't find it hard to have a relationship with those with whom I disagree. One of the tenets of my faith is that everyone is a child of God, even if he/she is not of my religion. I think Jesus was on to something when he said to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you. That sly dog! He realized that once you pray for an enemy, he's really no longer your enemy. From Native American wisdom is the advice to walk a mile in somebody else's moccasins before you judge him/her. That's good advice.
A 20th-century theologian wrote a book called, "Jesus, the Man for Others." If we all could put ourselves in the other person's shoes instead of demonizing that person or persons, if we could all realize that the person on the other side has legitimate concerns and isn't simply trying to be disagreeable, then the world might not be such a "them" versus "us" place to live. Worth a try, don't you think?
The Rev. Skip Lindeman
La Cañada Congregational Church
La Cañada Flintridge
Jesus told stories where the protagonist was a nonbeliever. While the Samaritan woman at the well had a dim hope of some future Messiah, she had no belief that her deliverer, the Messiah, was now in her midst, else why would she go off in John 4:29 marveling that Jesus had told her everything that she had ever done?
Perhaps the most famous confrontation between Jesus and a nonbeliever came in Luke 10, when an expert in the law questioned the teacher: "Just who is my neighbor?" Jesus, in telling the marvelous parable of the Good Samaritan, pointed out that everybody believes in something. The expert put his belief in principles; Jesus' focus was on grace.
Believers and nonbelievers can connect as they respectfully encounter each other. Neither the great 19th-century composer Johannes Brahms nor the great 20th-century mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne profess any allegiance to any higher power, but Horne was a noted interpreter of the Verdi Requiem and the Mahler 2nd (The Resurrection Symphony, which states I am from God and shall return to God), and Brahms composed his own requiem at the death of his mother. In both instances music of faith, reaching for something higher, comforts and transports admitted non-believers.
Perhaps believers and nonbelievers can come together most fully if the issue is not one side trying to convert the other, but rather if both sides are working together to correct some ethical issue. Is that not a belief in the greatest good for the most people? The eradication of poverty could certainly bring believers and nonbelievers together. Equal rights for women, humane treatment of prisoners, and respect for those who seek same-sex marriages with all of the rights and privileges of heterosexual couples are other areas where believers and non-believers can work together to great effect.
The Rev. Dr. William Thomas Jr.
Little White Chapel
The first step toward common ground is recognizing how many types of religious people there are in our country. I fear that nonbelievers read of experiences like that of Luhrmann and make unwarranted extrapolations about the whole of Christendom. Many of us have followed Jesus into the messiness of shared humanity and are not in any way camped out on the edges, with forts erected and lines drawn.
We work hard there on the common ground for justice and human rights, for the dignity of all people, for peace. But it's also kind of a party, where you can strike up a conversation with anyone and enjoy the journey of finding connection and commonality.
We agree that the party has thinned out a little of late, as more folks dig in their heels out of conviction or fear or shallow assumptions about who thinks what and why. Also the conversation has gotten a little boring, with some people just parroting what they heard on TV instead of getting original and creative.
The kingdom of heaven is a like a little idea that becomes a big solution. The kingdom of heaven is like a party where someone puts on a good song and soon everyone is laughing and dancing to it. The kingdom of heaven is like a fountain of champagne that never runs out. The kingdom of heaven is like a city where the gates are open because there is nothing to guard and everything to share.
The Rev. Paige Eaves

text: Lymph nodes play an important part in the body's defense against infection. Swelling might occur even if the infection is trivial or not apparent. Swelling of lymph nodes generally results from localized or systemic infection, abscess formation, or malignancy. Common areas where the lymph nodes can be felt include the groin area, armpit, the neck, under the jaw and chin, behind the ears, and below the occiput (prominence on the back of the head). As a rule, when swelling appears suddenly and is painful, it is usually caused by injury or an infection. Enlargement that comes on gradually and painlessly may result from malignancy or tumor.

Special: Flight, Natural Thinkamancy (Remote Visual Link)
A non-humanoid flying unit morphologically similar to a bat.
Doombats are scouts and have the natural magic ability to send back intelligence information.Erf-b1-p049 Erf-b1-p084a
They also can hide in a hex with enemy units to continue to provide intelligence information; in this state they do not auto-attack enemy units in the hex LIAB Text 5
Proposed Canon
The Special that allows a Doombat to share information with a warlord has a range of 20 (or unlimited via a Thinkamancer)
Doombats have a point on their wings which they cannot scratch if it itches. LIAB Text 5
Doombats are one type of flying unit included in Prince Ansom's coalition against Stanley. Individually, Doombats are relatively weak in combatErf-b1-p113; however, they are very useful for scouting, and they can mass in a stack far above the usual eight-unit limit. It appears to cause Vinny distress (mental and/or emotional) to "watch" while one of the bats is croaked in combat.Erf-b1-p056 The Royal Crown Coalition uses the Doombats provided by Count Vinny Doombats as short recon throughout the story, but only so long as Vinny is present with the RCC.
A scouting bat discovered the incoming raids against Ansom's siege units, and additional bats mapped out a ring of dwagons that had apparently been deployed as a defensive formation for the wounded raiders. In each case, the bat was lost after encountering the enemy, being no match for a single dwagon, much less a stack.
After a force of forest units led by Ansom broke into the dwagon ring, a bat was sent into the protected center hex of the ring, and found it to be empty. Ansom did not consider this finding to be final, and went to see for himself. Wanda Firebaugh speculated that he believed that the center hex contained veiled units. These events indicate one limitation on doombats' scouting ability (they are apparently more susceptible to deception by veiling than a high-level warlord such as Ansom).
They apparently serve as a screen for warlords; willingly or unwillingly taking arrows for Caesar Borgata in Chocula. They pop naturally and can be tamed, as well as popping in Transylvito held cities. The only tamed one shown was albino, or possibly just depicted as such to be visible against Vinny's shirt.
Known Users
Transylvito fields Doombats in very large numbers.Erf-b1-p113 Feral bats may be encountered in some hexes. Transylvitian flying warlords can tame them.
Real World References
One of the few named doombats, Bat 21, was lost when Parson first sent dwagons to selectively attack the Royal Coalition column, shown on TBFGK 49. This may be a reference to the book Bat-21, regarding the downing of an electronic intelligence aircraft during the Vietnam War, although the book is about the survival of the pilot.
Transylvitian flying warlords can carry doombats in their capes and may thus serve as a sort of "carrier," effectively extending the operational range of doombats.Erf-b1.5-p010

Kid's Craft: Mosaic Brick Doorstop
The Frog Princess made this cool
Mosaic Brick Doorstop
at art camp.
They smashed old pottery
in brown bags with hammers.
Then I think they used
thin-set tile mortar
to adhere the broken pottery
and buttons to a brick.
I wish they used a bit more mortar
to cover the sharp/jagged edges.
But I will admit,
it's super artsy
and I really like it.
