Hey fellas,
Ive spent most of the last two years, providing links and even inviting people from this board to become members of www.sportbit.org.
Ive been a member there for about 3 years and always had my share ratios way above the desired levels.
However, I tried to get on there yesterday and noticed that the auto login had gone..........and when I tried to log back in it rejected it.
The more troubling thing was that when I tried the old "Recover your password" thing, I entered BOTH of the email accounts I currently posses (it should be one but I tried the ohter in case Id forgotten) and I got a message of = "This email address is not in out database"
So.............I would really appreciate it if someone whos a member (perhaps someone who I got in..........as you owe me! ) could:
1: Go on there and find my account/profile and confirm what my username is...........Im 99.9% sure I know what it is but I just want to rule this out.
2: If the above doesnt yield anything, could someone possibly email one of the mods and ask what the hell I do!!??
All the options of "Email staff" and what not, require you to log in.............and since the recover password option doesnt recognise either of my email addresses.............Im pretty stuck.
Especially since I logged in there less than a month, all fine............and this site is pretty key for in downloading games.
Ps: Sorry for rambling on............you know me.
Here you can chat about anything that's not Warriors related.

maybe they are running into legal troubles?
Weird man, so it seems like theyve deleted you aswell?.............I know sign ups are closed right now but if they are purging accounts and deleting people for no reason.............then sh*t.
All the mods on there have always real pompus f*cks, up their own as*es and threaten you with anything and everything.

That absolutely insane!!!
I mean, Id understand if I hadnt been there for many years, or if my share ratio was crap...............or even if I hand tused it for a while.............but I downloaded something about a month ago, taking my share ratio to like 1.48..............which is better than some of the favourites there!
Anyway, that would great if you could invite me (wow, role reversal huh! )...............Ill PM you my email address through here, or do you still have it from when I invited you? never mind, Ill do that now.
Yeah I have no idea why they would delete yours. My share ratio is a little lower than yours at 1.46. The only reason for deleting your account that I can think of is if you were using a program that was banned but other than that I have no idea.
Ill send you an invite as soon as i get your email and if anyone else wants an invite I have 8 more available.
EDIT: I just sent you your invite bigs.

is it for sharing recorded sports games or something?
Yeah basically. They post games usually the day after they are played or they post classic games. They also post sports movies and documentaries. Its really cool if you like watching old games and documentaries or if you dont have access to Warriors games live.

Nope. I delayed the registry for so long that I actually forgot to do it. Can you believe it?.
I did use almost any other site you sent me for games, but not this one. Don't really know why...

Hey! I just saw "Three Kings" a few nights ago and I was wondering what everyone else thought of it. I thought that Mark was awesome in it and the cast members worked well together. Even though I liked the movie, I still think that "Fear" is the best movie that Mark's done (personal opinion).

So far I've only seen Renaissance Man, The Big Hit, The Corruptor and Three Kings.
I loved The Big Hit and Mark's "Melvin Smiley" -- he was such a sweetie in that one! I loved his soft voice...
While The Big Hit was a lot of fun, Three Kings showed off Mark's acting chops. Though I haven't seen Boggie Nights, I think Mark did his job here!

Just wanted to clarify my previous post -- I meant I feel Mark's done his 'best' job in Three Kings!
I enjoyed Three Kings so much that within 2 weeks I've seen it 3 times. I gotta find people who *haven't* seen it yet, and drag them with me! LOL!

Although i think his best acting role was Troy in Three Kings, my fave is The Big Hit. He has such a sweet vulnerable tone in almost all of his movies. Especially the Big Hit. Dont you all just love the way he talks?!

Three Kings is definitely a hit, but I have to say The Big Hit is one of my favorites. Mark's sweet personality in that movie is what really gets me!!! It seems like no matter how much of "tough guy" role he plays, somehow that sweetness comes through. Well...he actually played the Evil David pretty well in FEAR (another one of my favorites). I just like to think he's that sweet in "real life"!!!
So, I just want to say to those of you who actually get to see and meet Mark - you are so lucky!!!!

Three Kings is definately one of my favorite Mark movies. I seem to like each of his movies for different reason. His performance in Three Kings is worthy of an Oscar Nomination.
I think next to Three Kings would have to be the Big Hit since his character was so sweet. Melvin Smiley is the kind of guy you can bring home to mom. Although I did really enjoy the Corrupter and watched numerous times as well.
I better get to sleep - before I ramble for hours on what I like best about each of Mark's movies. I could be typing for hours.

I go on Mark Marthons as well. The gym they have for us at work is equiped with TV & VCR.
I take one of Mark's movies along when I have
the gym to myself(which is normally on the weekend or after 9 am) and just workout with Mark. Todays feature at the gym was THE BIG HIT. I think tomorrow might be FEAR.

Three Kings was wonderful. I finally realized why the movie is called Three Kings & not Four Kings: Clooney was there boss kind of a thing. He was higher up than them. Anyway, I just can't see the obsession with The Big Hit & all of you girls. Frankly, the movie did nothing for me...My fiance (Kevin) calls it "THE BIG SH*T"!!! LOL!!! I will have to watch it again!!!

The Tibetan teaching of Dzog-chen (pronounced ZOAK-chen), also known as Ati yoga, is considered by its adherents to be the definitive and most secret teaching of the Buddha. Primordial Experience is a translation of a key text articulating the Dzog-chen teachings, "Gold Refined from Ore," by Mañjusrimitra, an Indian disciple of the first teacher of Ati yoga. According to the Dzog-chen teachings, purity of mind is always present and only needs to be recognized.

Correll pauses before making a point
Correll speaks on
social research crisis
by Doug Johnson
"Social research in North America is rapidly approaching
a state of crisis," said Dr. Tom Correll at the second Pi Gamma
Mu lecture. Dr. Correll presented the "very tentative formulation"
of the problem and his proposed solution to about 30
students and faculty members.
Correll said there are two visible trends in social research
today: 1) people are beginning to strongly resist being studied,
and 2) the government increasingly needs the results of studies
in order to do its job intelligently and effectively. In Correll'S
opinion, "Unless the situation is corrected soon, the result will
be chaos."
Elaborating on these trends, Correll first gave four reasons
for the increasing hostility towards social researchers. First,
"inner cities and villages are simply getting tired of being
studied." Second, people are beginning to notice that few
studies ever bear the fruit they promise them. Third, subjects
are beginning to question the relevance of purely academic
research. Fourth, people fear recrimination, and researchers
of social problems and deviancy are being forced to take what
measures they can to protect their notes from subpoena.
Correll cited examples of this from his own experience in the

Background sketched
to Audio controversy
by J. Caress
In last week's Clarion a letter appeared outlining some of
the complaints about the sound systems being installed at
Bethel by Audio Engineers of Minneapolis. The letter was
written by Steve Ferrario, chief engineer of KABY Radio, who
has been closely involved with the series of developments he
When the plans were drawn up for Bethel's Arden Hills
campus, it was agreed that the school would need a public
address intercom system throughout the academic complex;
a public address system in the gym; a complete radio station
including control board, tape recorders, turntables, and a
transmitter; and two portable audio consoles for the Music
Department that would include recording and playback
It was agreed upon to seek a firm to bid on the entire job.
The company that ended up with the contract to do the
work, Audio Engineers, agreed to finish the job in sixty days.
That was in September 1972, fourteen months ago.
The job is not done and much of the work completed is
causing complaints among the Bethel people who work with
the equipment.
A list of facts and events is as follows:
APRIL 1972: K & M Electronics, a Minneapolis
video and audio equipment firm, met
with officials of the school and agreed
to write specifications for P A and radio
equipment that would be needed at
continued on page two
K & M delivered their prospective
specifications. These were primarily
off-the-shelf items. The plans were
drawn up in such a way that any company
would be able to bid on them.
While visiting K & M Electronics, Phil
Carlson (College Building Coordinator)
was invited by Richard Atlas of Audio
Engineers to visit AE and view a tape
recorder that K & M was getting from
Atlas' company. During this visit, Mr.
Atlas apparently convinced Mr. Carlson
1. K & M Electronics is primarily a
video (TV) and not an audio equipment
company. (True)
2. K & M therefore couldn't do a good
job. (Questionable)
continued from page one 3. Audio Engineers cou.ld "cus.tombuild
(for Bethel) somethmg that IS far
superior to K & M's equipment for the
same money." (Also questionable)
Phil Carlson asked Audio Engineers to
draw up a set of specs for custom
equipment. The result was a plan that
was complicated and difficult to bid
on. (See May 1972) The plans were
sent to a Minneapolis video engineering
company, to K & M (who wasn't
interested in contracting for custom
work), to Endresen Sound Company
in Duluth (Robert Stikney of Endresen
is reported to have thought the equipment
noted in the specs was worthless;
plus the job was too far from Duluth),
and to Audio Engineers themselves.
For what seem to be obvious reasons ,
Audio Engineers was the only company
to bid on the plan that they themselves
had designed. The Building
Committee who approved this plan,
was never allowed to see K & M's
earlier plan.
SEPTEMBER 1972: After a very quick round of talks, (two
weeks) Audio Engineers was awarded
the contract to build Bethel's P A system
and radio equipment. Terms of
the contract included that:
1. A Performance Bond (to guarantee
completion) should be issued within
10 days of the signing of the contract.
(This was never delivered. Richard
Atlas claims that Marv Fuller, Bethel
Purchasing agent, verbally waived the
Performance Bond. Mr. Fuller is in
the hospital and unavailable for comment.)
2. The entire job would be completed
in 60 days. (Obviously it hasn't been.)
3. The equipment would meet the
specifications set down in the plan
Audio Engineers drew up. (According
to Steve Ferrario, the equipment does
not meet these specifications. )
First Completion date set by Audio
Second Completion date.
Third Completion date.
Audio Engineers told Bethel that two
tape cartridge machines ordered for
the radio station were in. (In October,
six months later, it was found out that
they weren't really in.)
P A System installed in LRC room
300C. This system, however, is still
inoperable and incomplete.
2797 Hamline Ave. N.
Hamline Shopping Center - Roseville
Fourth completion date .
Subsequently, the job was promised to
be completed "definitely before school
Date set b~ Phil Carlson as the latest
that the job should be completed.
Jim Sheldon of the LRC staff took
over on Bethel's end of things for
Phil Carlson, who went to England on
By this time several complications
had developed with the radio statio~,
making it impossible for Audio Engineers
to finish the transmitter hookup
and signal receiving units in the
dormitories and town houses. This was
partly Bethel's fault and AE cannot be
blamed for delays in this area. However,
at this time AE submitted a radio
station completion date of September
3-7, which seems to have been clearly
unrealistic considering that important
SUb-contracting had not even been
ordered yet. Also, as of August 3, the
radio studio equipment was supposed
to be 95 per cent completed. According
to Steve Ferrario, a recent visit to
AE has convinced him that this work
is only about 50 per cent done. The
Gym P A system was scheduled to be
completed by August 16 or 17. As has
been noted, it is still not in satisfactory
working order.
SEPTEMBER 3: Gym PA system installed . Problems,
including KSTP radio accidentally invading
Chapel, were not looked into
for a month after installation.
Audio Engineers agreed to finish their work at Bethel in
four segments. Here is how things stand on these projects:
Project One: PA System-Intercom - Installed but not
operable. Needs much work and more equipment.
Project Two: Gym PA System - Very unsatisfactory.
Improvements have been accomplished slowly and incom��pletely.
Project Three: Radio Station - Just now getting preliminary
work done for installation of control board. The
turntables and cartridge tape players are not in yet. The transmitter
has not yet come in, but as was previously noted, this
is a legitimate delay.
Project Four: Portable Audio Consoles for Music Department
- This equipment has not been started yet.
It must be pointed out that this is not a black-and-white
story. There have been legitimate delays. There have been
goofs on Bethel's part. As for reaching a solid conclusion on
the reliability of Audio Engineers, there are varying opinions
concerning its quality of equipment, its workmanship and its
A few things are certain. Bethel has a legal right to cancel
its contract with Audio Engineers, since AE has clearly violated
the terms of the contract signed in September 1972.
Also there seems to be agreement among all Bethel people
involved that, in the words of President Lundquist, "the
excuses (given by Audio Engineers) are not sufficient to justify
the delay."
If Bethel chooses to start over again with a different
company, it may difficult to find an interested firm. Said Hugh
McCloud Sr the president's representative in this affair, "If
anyone kno~s of an outfit that can do the job, let me know."
In the next issue of the Clarion, we will pursue further the
possibilities open to Bethel, and present more information
about the arguments offered by Audio Engineers. Meanwhile,
if anyone knows of an outfit ....
To: Bethel Community
For much of my college career, I have been employed,
part time, by Bethel working for the Maintenance Department
in a variety of areas. During this time I have been able to
develop several good friendships with members of the maintenance
staff and have a good deal of respect for these people.
Being placed in this particular situation, I've become aware of
certain problems or attitudes that perhaps should be given
public attention.
It appears to me that the Maintenance Department, from
the superintendent down to his individual staff members, is
sometimes subject to the rather imperious demands of the
upper echelons of the administration. These demands often
serve to disrupt systematic maintenance programs and make
procedures more difficult or inconvenient. As a case in point,
one can look at the policy of equipment parking. For some
time the staff was not allowed to park the Bethel trucks near
the new campus buildings overnight because it was felt that
the blue trucks detracted from the beauty of the brick
buildings. The trucks were to be parked up near the football
field instead.
This may not seem like a very significant complaint until
one understands that this forces the staff to run up to the lot
every day to get these trucks and then return them at night.
This still doesn't sound too important unless one further
realizes that in going to get this equipment, several of the men
must leave their cars there. Because there aren't enough trucks
for every man, and since these trucks must be used by several
different men during the day, some men must use their own
cars for transportation. This often means that a staff member
may need his car but can't use it because it is up at the lot.
Obviously this ties up the work program but perhaps more
important in the long run it creates a very inconvenient situation
that continually agravates the staff and leads to hard
feelings between the staff and the administration. The trucks
were recently painted to match the bricks making it possible
to park them by the buildings again, thereby eliminating this
particular problem. The example does, however, serve to
illustrate the kinds of problems that can exist. Other examples
could be given involving particular individuals ..
Undoubtedly circumstances do arise making it necessary
for the maintenance staff to be asked to perform unplanned or
unusual services. No one disputes the legitimacy of these kinds
of requests. It does appear, however, that this practice is
sometimes carried too far. In my opinion the maintenance
staff deserves more consideration from students and administration
alike. They do provide very valuable services to the

Bethel limits energy
use in shadow of crisis
by Chuck Jackson
Bethel's administration and staff have moved to adjust
energy useage of the College and Seminary in the face of the
pending national energy crisis. At several levels of the
administration genuine concern has been displayed and action
is already being taken.
President Lundquist said that building temperature is to
be reduced to 70 degrees (it recently stood at 74 degrees), a
move which would help to conserve heating fuels. Second, he
further encouraged students and faculty to turn out lights in
unoccupied classrooms, and said that night lighting practices
would also be modified, (both moves intended to cut back
Bethel's useage of energy).
Morris Sanborn, head boiler engineer, pointed out that
fresh air intakes are to be closed off and that warm air, even
though it is somewhat stale, is to be recirculated. He felt that
this action would help to further conserve heating fuels. He
also felt that if students would study in groups instead of
singularly in a large room, electricity would be more efficiently
Glen Hayne, superintendent of buildings and grounds,
echoed President Lundquist's and Sanborn's feelings on the
building temperature drop and on the reduction of fresh air
intake. He added that excess lighting would be cut out as well.
For example, with the cooperation of Margaret Dewey, LRC
Director, lighting in non-essential LRC areas will be reduced
as well as the use of spot lights in the gallery.
Hayne felt that students in the townhouses could contribute
significantly to energy conservation. He reiterated the
need to "tum off lights when they are not in use." He continued
"Students could also turn their room temperatures
down to 68 or even 65 degrees at night and throw on an extra
blanket. The buildings will heat up quickly in the day." He
further requested students to observe the current Bethel daytime
reduction level of 70 degrees.
Both President Lundquist and Mr. Hayne feel that the fuel
supply will be adequate during December, as December is a
short school month. However, pending unforseen developements
in the Middle East, if this January is colder than average,
the fuel situation could become acute. In such an event,
President Lundquist suggested that "some Interim classes
could be moved to churches, where heating fuels have priority
over colleges. The same procedure could, if necessary, be
repeated for Founder's Week."
Hayne pointed out that the cutbacks will apply to the
Seminary as well as the College. He noted that he would
encourage similar reductions on the Snelling Avenue Campus.
Hayne concluded, "We are in a serious position, but we should
not be alarmist. If everyone pitches in, we can make a real
contribution to energy savings."

an air raid that could stand between me and the land-o-nod:
intramural basketball.
This time it was B league, and I was only a spectator, a
circumstance that allowed me to make some relatively detached
observations of the whole phenomenon.
Intramural athletics is indeed a remarkable institution. At
its best it comes the closest of any organized attempts at
approximating the essence of pure sport. Certainly there is
organization, but only as much as is absolutely necessary. And
this gives rise to what is perhaps its greatest asset: flexibility.
The I.M. participant is free to approach things with almost
any kind of attitude he wants. The serious athlete may be as
serious as he likes. And the person just out for a good time is
just as easily accomodated. There are teams that plot and plan
with all the intensity of big-league professionalism, others for
which each game is a new adventure, to be enjoyed with the
free and easy spirit of a Sunday afternoon croquet match.
To be sure, there are conflicts of interest. At times the
spirit of competition runs a bit high and tempers flare. Or
apathy may yield forfeits. Some bemoan this year's new
division of teams and the resulting absence of long-standing
rivalries, while others feel the talent is now more evenly
distributed and the competition keener.
At any rate, the institution survives such conflicts and
changes. And it draws its participants with the simplest and
purest of appeals. On Saturday morning there are no applauding
crowds, no shiny uniforms, no bouncing cheerleaders. Only a
bunch of guys who love the game.
The 9 a.m. slot saw only one game, the other having been
wiped out by a double forfeit. The remaining contest might as
well have been forfeited, as the short-handed Shirts (Edgren
II) were forced to play the first half with only four men. The
Skins (New Dorm) showed no leniency, fastbreaking unmercifully
and encouraging one another to greater heights of sadistic
delight. Even with the score a ludicrous 40-4, the game was
punctuated with cries of "Psych up!" and "Defense!" as well
as such esoteric advice as "Overload!" and "Let's hit the
strong side!"
Owing to the forfeit, there were three refs for this tilt, a
rare treat in a league that has some difficulty recruiting
officials. But this was small consolation for the outnumbered
Shirts, who were called repeatedly for lane violations and
incidental contact.
Things settled down somewhat in the second half. The
Shirts got another man, enabling them to switch from a 2-2 to
a 2-3 zone defense, also to slow down the Skins' fast break.
But the damage had already been done, and the final score
read 77-26.
I was collared into running the clock for one of the 1 0
a.m. games and was thus obliged to confine my attention to
one half of the gym, where a well-balanced Townhouse I team
outlasted Townhouse III 43-35. On the other side Townhouse
II overcame Hagstrom 50-29.
The only scheduled game for 11 a.m. was Faculty vs. Oft
Campus I, and it deserved one's un devoted attention. Not by
virtue of the score, since Faculty waltzed to a 57-19 triumph.
O.C. I just couldn't contain Sweet Eddie Thomas as he hit shot
after shot from the dead corner, and Rog Kingsley owned the
boards. No, it was fun to watch becuase the Faculty B league
team, as much as any other, is able to simply have a good time
and enjoy the game; and that, it seems to me, is what it's all

research and pure social phenomena research or the decisions
it makes as to social problems simply will not work.
After citing the inadaquacies of the present system for
protection of research privacy, Correll went into his proposal.
First, extending the institution of "privilaged communication,"
now in use between lawyer and client, priest and penitent,
Correll suggests it be given to researcher and subject. This
would require the researcher to keep all notes in his personal
possession and not divulge private information. Second, a
licensing system and board under the legal branch of the
government would have to be enstated. This would control the
use of privilaged communication, assure the qualification of
researchers, check the funding and organization of projects to
assure completion, limit the number of researchers in any
given area to "tolerable" levels, and curtail redundant research.
Correll emphatically stated such a board would not determine
the signifigance of any research project.
"The major benefit I see deriving from this proposal is
vastly increased protection for individuals who are being
studied," he said.
After recognizing inevitable objections and limitations of
such a proposal, Correll closed with the statement, "Unless
radical steps are taken soon, the coming crisis in social research
will be fatal to social scientific research, and as a consequence,
to stable society as well."
The paper was critiqued by Linda Correll and Richard
Halverson. Miss Correll said she had no dispute with the
premises, citing more examples of the crisis than her father!
She did, however, point out three minor problems with the
licensing proposal.
"I agree with the proposal if the given situation is the way
it should be," said Halverson. "The trust relationship between
two persons is lost when a researcher attempts the objective,
logical, 'I'm going to study you' approach." he drew a
parallel situation from the N.I.C.E. of C. S. Lewis' That
Hideous Strength. Dr. Correll agreed, however he felt the
proposal put the researcher on the "hotseat" of responsi bili ty.
Questions by faculty and students saw the need for
certain aspects to be fleshed out. Dr. Larson, however, said he
had "a basic problem with the premises" and felt there are a
number of possible courses of action not yet tried. Some
examples were: training natives to research themselves; establishing
ombudsmen between popUlations and scientists; and
letting researchers weed their own ranks of quacks. He also
saw a problem with any such board on the necessary international

Luckman featured at Mac
by J. Caress
An exhibition of Stu Luckman's sculpture is currently being shown at Macalester
College in the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center. The gallery is open from 5 to 9
pm. Luckman's work will be showing there through November 24.
The showing is the culmination of six months of hard work for the artist, a
Bethel faculty member since 1966. This particular project is a thesis exhibition for
Luckman's Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Minnesota.
Since this is in a sense a formal thesis, several formal concepts have been
explored. One of these is the element of height. The focusing point in most of the
compositions is about five feet above eye level. These are some tall pieces of steel.
"I've tried to pull together both geometric and organic forms," said
Luckman. "Also I've used spatial considerations which are more Oriental than
Western. This was new for me. What I mean is that Western sculpture often uses
forms which seem to explode into space. In these works, I have been more
restrained - using the Eastern concept of space compressing the form. The result
is a quiet explosion."
"The pieces are big," Luckman continued, "because I have visually expanded
into the studio space available for me at the new campus. "
Luckman's career is not long enough, he said, for this showing to be
retrospective. It simply reflects a point 'in this life, although some of the ideas
originated much earlier.
"One piece is particularly important because it is a personal spiritual idea
conveyed in a three-dimensional faith statement," said Luckman. "I have tried to
create a sense of toughness and brutalness, working with the tension between forms
which defies verbal logic but makes sense visually. This showing is primarily a
celebration of form - healthy, vibrant, but tough. "
If an athlete-become-artist doesn't fit your preconceived image of what kinds
of people create sculpture, then neither will the rest of Stu Luckman's life.
He graduated from Bethel with a degree in Political Science and History,
certified to teach in Social Studies. He taught and coached in Seattle for three
years, then, at the urging of his wife, followed his desire to paint back to Macalester
College, where he started allover again.
"I took sculpture as a requirement," Luckman said, "but soon I was really
interested. It was tough, physical kind of work that really appealed to my instincts."
After Macalester, he was invited to teach at Bethel.
"The way my life has worked out ... the way different steps have been tied
together in a meaningful sequence ... has clearly helped me to understand the
concept of God having a plan for individual lives.
"Somebody said that for every artist who has something to say and can say
it well, there are 1,000 who have nothing to say but can say it well. The experiences
I've been through, the earlier four-year degree, these things have given me substance
for my work," he said.
Luckman's wife Marilyn is also a Bethel graduate. They have two boys, Sean,
8, and Nils, 4.

Series to begin
by Chuck Jackson
On Tuesday November 20, between 7
and 8 p.m., will begin the first in a series
of Practical Information Seminars. The
topic to be discussed that night will be
financial planning and how it relates to
the student as he or she prepares to leave
college and enter the job market.
The objective of Tuesday's seminar
will be to stimulate interest in financial
planning. Such problems as inflation,
taxes (income, estate, etc.), and loss of
earnings (disability, retirement, death),
will be discussed. In addition, attention
will be given to investments (mutual
funds, stocks, real estate), savings (balanced
programs to provide liquidity for
emergencies and opportunities), and insurance
(types of companies and types
of insurance ).
Tuesday's seminar will be conducted
by several members of Strommen and
Associates, who have conducted similar
seminars for numerous groups throughout
the state of Minnesota. This seminar is
designed to be both casual and informative.
The Practical Information series, brainchild
of Dean Passons, promises to provide
information not usually covered
in the normal academic process, regarding
things which students are too busy to
investigate adequately on their own.
Next month's seminar, tentatively
scheduled for December -4, will be of a
consumer protection nature, concerning
itself with the student's car and the
winter ahead. According to Passons, "Today
students pay anywhere from $17 to
$170 to winterize a car; they need to
know why there are vast differences in
price and what kinds of things are involved
in the process." In addition, cold
weather starts and potential "gas station
rip-offs" will be discussed. Guests will
include an auto shop owner and possibly
a new car salesman.
"If there are other areas of major concern,"
noted Passons, "please let your
needs be known." Dean Passons's office
is located in the academic complex, room

Popcorn relief
wins $500
by Wayne Pauluk
Two Bethel grads produced the best
popcorn painting in the Twin Cities to
win a $500 prize. Joe Lewis and Bob
Vork, both graduates of Bethel's Art
Department, won first prize in the Orville
Redenbacher Popcorn Contest.
Vork, who is a post-grad student at
Bethel and student teacher at Pike Lake
Elementary School, noticed a poster about
the contest sponsored by the Redenbacher
Company. He told Lewis, who is presently
working for Fish Enterprises in Minneapolis,
and they decided to give it a try.
The first thing they did was to pray
for God's direction in this project.
Then about noon, one Sunday, Lewis
and Vork got together five pounds of
popcorn and other materials necessary,
and began working.
Popping the corn was easy, but making
it different collors was not so simple.
"When you dip popped corn into a dye,
it shrivels up. And food coloring wouldn't
mix with the popping oil. Finally we
mixed the coloring with syrup like you
use for popcorn balls and poured it over
the popcorn," Vork explained.
About 3 :30 the next morning, their
art work was finished. It is a landscape
of an Iowa farm scene and measures 4'
x 2 %'. It is a relief done on masonite. A

relief is basically a cross between a
painting and a sculpture. Paintings are
flat, but reliefs are three dimensional.
Their relief was chosen from about 70
en tries. Vor k believes part of the reason
they won was that they adapted their
work to the medium of popcorn. "Our
trees were bubbly, like popcorn. Everything
had shape. Some others tried to
make popcorn like any other medium. If
they made a whale, it could just as well
have been made out of plaster," he said.
What are the two artists going to do
with their $500 prize? Of course they
have the essential payments like rent,
food and books, but part of the money is
going to buy each of them a pair of cowboy
boots - a bit of the American dream
come true.
Class critiques
Gothard and
his Seminars
by Janet Rutzen
The Bill Gothard seminars were "a
manifestation of the basic principles of
life, a way to find the answers, and a
place to learn how to apply the Bible to
every-day situations." These conclusions
were reached by Bethel students at a
critique of the recent Bill Gothard Basic
Youth Conflicts seminars.
Over 100 Bethel stUdents, along with
16,000 other people, attended Basic
Youth Conflicts three weeks ago. There,
nationally known Bill Gothard presented
his views on how to cope with the six
basic conflicts of life. According to
Gothard, conflicts in life result from the
following areas being unresolved during
youth: acceptance of self, assurance of
salvation, goals in life, harmony at home,
dating, and successful friendships.
About 50 Bethel students attended a
critique of the seminars last Friday. Anita
Larson, leader of the panel discussion,
said that Gothard stressed the underlying

principles of Scripture. "He told us how
to use the Scriptures. He looked to the
underlying principles of each verse and
applied them to the practical every-day
areas of life," she said.
"The big value for me," said Scott
Hafemann, "was that he shows you exactly
how to use Scripture for instruction and
correction. Every time you violate a
principle of God there will be a resulting
conflict in your life. You can look to your
own relationships and see where you are
violating God's principles."
Gothard pointed to scriptural meditation
as a way to achieve success and used
Joshua 1:8 as a reference. "When I got
home from the seminars I started to
meditate and think about the Scriptures.
You should do this until it becomes a
living thing in your conscience. Gothard
was a catalyst in getting me into the
Bible," said Doyal VanGelder.
Yielding of personal rights was another
area covered at the seminars. Gothard
stressed the importance of yielding personal
rights to God. "I realized that we
should give God what is ours and he will
take care of our needs better than we
ever could," said Claudia Hallstein. A
person who has yielded his rights to God
can be used by God more effectively,
Bravo Nik Turkey!
Who is this Nik Dag7
oy Ruth Johnson
"Where's the safety zone? Oh, no, here she comes again!"
Nik-Dag is underway again for this year. The gals were out in abundance once
more to see if they could get that "special" guy before any other girl did.
The rules were changed to some degree this year. After the turkey gobbled in
chapel (the use of a turkey was to tie Nik-Dag in with Thanksgiving) girls had to
wait 18 painful hours before they could try for their guy. Phone calls were not
allowed this year, girls had to give the guy they nikked a garter to show that the
nikking had been accomplished, and the guys had their choice of a pie, cake or
cookies from their date.
Getting the guy is one thing, but once had, what is there to do with him?
The answer to that question is in the variety of activities the Campus Coordinators
and Nik-Dag Committee have planned.
Tonight is a concert at 8 p.m. in the gym. The featured artists are Gabriel, a
Jesus-Rock group from California. Just recently this group signed with Columbia
Records. The cost for the concert is only $1.50 with a handy SAC and $2 without
Some people don't like to have their activities all planned out for them so
Saturday is their day to do whatever they want.
Saturday night has been designated as an evening of fun and games, starting
off with a very important game - the Alumni vs. this year's varsity basketball team.
For upperclassmen, this gives a chance to see favorite friends from former games
and to see just how out of shape they have gotten, or maybe how much better
shape they are in.
After the game, there will be free pizza and punch and a Priest and the
Scribes concert following that. Priest and the Scribes is a Bethel group. For those
who haven't heard them, Saturday is the chance, for the price of $.25.
Saturday night at 8 p.m. also affords an opportunity to see "Cycle 73," the
fall drama production.
Sunday, as far as Nik-Dag is concerned, is optional. No activities have been
planned for that day.

according to Gothard. "When you yield
your rights to Him, you have the Infinite,
the Creator taking care of you. What
better plan?" emphasized Miss Hallstein.
"I don't have a claim on those things and
can use that emotional energy towards
loving other people." The idea was also
brought forth that worry is taking over
responsibilities that God never intended
Christians to have.
Some said that they had understood
Gothard to speak negatively towards
education. Miss Hallstein pointed out that
he is currently planning a curriculum in
which students learn through character
courses. In this curriculum the parents·'
would also be much more involved with
teaching their children.
A student asked why anyone would
pay $35 to attend a course just to learn
how to use the Bible. Dr. Walter Wessel
said that the churches should be doing
this. Students concluded that the churches
aren't accomplishing this goal. "We were
just taking advantage of another opportunity
to learn," said Hafemann.
"Biblical principles are realized in our
own lives through our actions and not
just as something Bill Gothard said. It becomes
a way of life. He did not want us
to think that just because we had been to
his seminar we had all the answers but, instead,
a way to find the answers," said
Miss Larson. "The purpose was to exalt
God, and he wanted us to give God a
chance to make Himself real in our own
lives and testimonies."
"We would like to generate an interest
in all of you to attend next spring," said
VanGelder. "We all feel very strongly
that it has been a great help in our lives."
Bill Gothard will return to the St. Paul
Civic Center next April.

Winter is in the air. Roundballers and grapplers know it's
the season to demonstrate their own specialities. How well will
they actually perform this season? Since I'm not one for
unqualified speculation, I thought that the feelings of our
wrestling coach, David Klostreich, and our basketball coach,
Jack Trager, would be more respected.
Coach Klostreich expressed that the most optimistic thing
about this year's team is that "we will have more depth than
we've ever had. Even though some of our depth will be inexperienced,
it provides competition in each weight class.
Numbers help the morale and enthusiam of a wrestling team.
"Specifically, we will be strong in the upper weights with
tremendous depth in capable, experienced wrestlers. In the
lower weights we will be inexperienced, and our success will
largely depend on how fast these guys come along by midseason.
Realistically speaking, I'm not looking forward to
consistent victories at the start of the season even though I
want to win very badly. I feel that it may be mid-January
before we bloom and blend as a team. With our young team it
would be better not to have an unfortunately tough and heavy
schedule right at the beginning of the season as we do have.
But my hopes are that we will be a strong wrestling team by
the time the triple dual at Orange City rolls around at the end
of January and for our Tri-State Conference meet here at
Bethel in February.
"If I can maintain enough enterest to keep the twentythree
guys that I have out now, I will be very satisfied and that
much more confident of a successful season. If I can do that,
we will have enough for a JV squad which will give everyone a
chance to gain experience by wrestling other small colleges and
junior colleges in the state."
It seems as though there is a growing trend in Bethel
athletics to play tougher and tougher competition. I think this
largely stems from the growing recognition Bethel is receiving
from other schools that it is a top-notch contender. Every
coach has expressed this to me and Coach Trager was no
"We've got what I consider one of the toughest schedules
since I've been here. District 13 schools such as Hamline,
Macalester, Bemidji State, UMD, plus tournaments at Duluth
and Wayne State, will make for stiff competition. In the
Conference, I will still say that Northwestern is the team to
beat. Until someone knocks them off, I'm going to respect the
fact that they are champions," said Trager.
J.T. has strongly emphasized to his players, however, that
"we don't care about conference games right now. Our first
game will be against Morris and we are going to do the job
against Morris; then, it will be Carleton, ... In other words,
'one game at a time.' We're not thinking about'Conference or
winning in our tournaments, we're just looking for Morris. We
perhaps made a mistake last year after a good start of looking
a little bit ahead which lead to a disastrous middle of the
season. We don't want that this year.
"As far as personnel is concerned we didn't lose a man
last year. We have ten lettermen back, six of them being
seniors, and of that six we may have as many as three or four
in starting positions. We do have some capable juniors that will
be pushing for a position. At this point, we are working at
creating a compatible offense, that is, having an effective
inside game to complement our outside game lead by scoring
threat Steve Scroggins. Along with positive signs that we can
get the ball inside, we feel that we can also get the outlet pass
and run more this year. I also want a strong defense, not overemphasizing
our offensive game because of the tendency for
the neglected dimension of the game to become weak.
"Our guys have a year of playing together to their favor,
and we proved that we could lose as well as win. Now, we've
got to prove that we can play consistent ball and if we play
our game consistently, I'm not going to worry about the win I
lose column because it will take care of itself."
Win or lose, Bethel fans can expect some exciting wrestling
meets led by some strong veterans, their first meets being
the Lakewood Freestyle Tournament at White Bear Lake and
then at St. Mary's. And anyone familiar with Bethel basketball
knows that fans can expect some real cliff hangers that will
keep you on the edge of your seats all game long. Coach Trager
has a way with dramatics and growing gray hairs!

Open311 is a technology that creates avenues of communication between cities and their citizens.
It enables citizens to more directly interact with their city. Open311 is utilized by many municipalities across the country to report non-emergency issues, also known as service requests. These service requests are used to report issues such as graffiti, streetlight problems, park maintenance, and pothole repair just to name a few. The Open311 protocol authorizes 3rd Party Developers to access a city's citizen service request system and enables them to submit and query service requests via their mobile application.
Austin 3-1-1 understands that its largest asset is the City of Austin's citizens. Austin 3-1-1's implementation of Open311 draws upon the City's thriving developer community to create mobile applications that empower citizens to become the eyes and ears of the City. Embracing its tech savvy citizens and local developers is a tremendous allocation of the City's resources. The ability to report service requests utilizing 3rd party technology expands the ease of access to the City's departments. Ultimately, utilization of Open311 aligns with Austin 3-1-1's mission to provide uncomplicated access to City services and information.
The City of Austin utilizes the Open311 API standards to support developer access to its service request database.
Austin 3-1-1 maintains a test environment for 3rd party developers to test their apps against Austin 3-1-1's implementation of the Open311 API. There are two types of API Keys, one for a Test environment and one for a Production environment. Note that a developer does not need an API key to read data only. Please visit the Developer FAQ. For more details on reading and writing of service requests to the City's customer service system, please visit Developer Tools.
Developer must agree to the Technical and Operational Requirements and Terms of Service in order to request an API key. As previously mentioned, query of Service Request data does not require an API key. However, developers are still required to follow the Terms of Service.
Once you have completed your mobile application's tests in the testing environment, you may then request a Production API Key using the instructions below. A Production API Key is required to enable a mobile app to submit service requests into the City's Open311 Production or Live environment.
Note: Before your API Production Key can be activated, predefined quality assurance testing will need to be completed and submitted to Austin 3-1-1. Below describes these required steps.
See the Developer FAQ, Developer Tools, API DevForm Instructions, and the Open 311 API Terms of Service.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — That rant Vinny Del Negro unleashed on his team after Saturday night's blowout loss to the Houston Rockets (sans James Harden) was not an elaborate pre-April Fool's Day ruse. It was real.
"They played harder than we did," Del Negro said. "We were terrible. Our effort was terrible, our attitude was terrible, our urgency was terrible. Very disappointed. I didn't see the fight in us tonight, and we need guys to step up."
"We're fighting for a spot, and we come out with that second-half — pretty much the whole game — effort. It was poor." Del Negro said. "I know it's the fourth game in five nights, but that's no excuse. We've got plenty of depth. No excuses. I don't believe in that."
The vitriol … the disappointment … all of it was real.
With seemingly everything to play for — a top-three seed in the Western Conference playoffs, home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, simple professional pride — the Clippers cannot find the energy to finish the season the way they started (with a bang).
The Clippers have fallen off the mark in the second half of the season, squandering a league-best 32-9 start by stumbling their way to a .500 finish (17-17) with seven games remaining in the season. Chris Paul's MVP turn during All-Star weekend might very well serve as the lone highlight for the Clippers during the season's stretch run if they can't shake out of their funk.
They managed a 7-7 record in March and didn't exactly get off to a rousing start to this final month of the regular season with Monday night's home loss to the Indiana Pacers, a game that saw the Clippers trail by as many as 24 points before closing the gap late in a 109-106 loss.
Deciphering exactly what's wrong with the Clippers from a schematic standpoint is basically a waste of time. They have certain deficiencies that cannot be cured this season unless both Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan magically locate reliable post moves overnight. That's not meant as a slight to either of the talented young big men, it's just a fact.
The Clippers are not capable of playing inside-out for long enough stretches to make other high-level teams uncomfortable. Kicking off a crucial, four-game home stand with a deflating loss to the Pacers is no way to inspire confidence. And when Paul, Jamal Crawford and the rest of the Clippers' perimeter stars are taking turns struggling as well, it confirms all of the fears we've been expressing about this team since their second-half struggles began.
This is code red time for the Clippers. They've lost four of their last five games and the finger-pointing (direct and otherwise) has already begun. The effort and energy from the players seems to be lacking, suggesting an underlying issue between the players and the coach that is undefeated in terms of the final results (the coach always has to go).
Del Negro has taken a rather aggressive approach, tinkering with his rotations and even benching starters in an effort to jumpstart his team.
"It's up to them," Del Negro said of his players to ESPN.com's J.A. Adande after the loss to the Pacers. "All I can do is take them in and out of the games."
For any of this to be said on a team with some of the best locker room leadership in the league (Paul, Caron Butler, Grant Hill and Chauncey Billups) is a bit startling.
Just as startling is Del Negro's pointed criticism at his biggest stars, particularly his benching of Paul and Griffin recently, moves that are sure to erode the coach-player dynamic on a team that has always had issues in that regard under Del Negro. This madness is going on with a team that needs just one more win to clinch the franchise's first 50-win season in history.
This puts the entire operation on alert for the postseason. If the Clippers slide in and then slide out just as quickly, then it's anyone's guess as to where the Clippers go from there in the offseason.
Start the playoffs on the road and suffer the fate then that you did during your recent tour through the Southwest Division, a 1-3 plank walk, and whatever is wrong with the Clippers will be someone else's problem.

Washington, D.C.: Il Canale Is Georgetown's First True Neapolitan Pizza
Pizza reviews in the DC area.
il Canale
1063 31st Street, NW, Washington DC 20007 (map); 202-337-4444; ilcanaledc.com
Pizza Style: Neapolitan
Oven Type: Wood-fired
Price: 12-inch pizzas $10-17
Real Neapolitan pizza has finally come to Georgetown. Joe Farruggio's Il Canale on 31st Street at the C&O Canal boasts an impressive wood-fired oven built on site by Italian craftsmen. Though not quite in the same league as Orso in Falls Church (Slice review) or Pupatella in Arlington (Slice review), Il Canale certainly serves Georgetown's best pizza. Housed in a smartly decorated townhouse with two levels of dining and a charming rooftop terrace, it's an inviting place to relax and enjoy an affordable meal.
Georgetown is home to congressmen, senators, and diplomats, and is also a popular destination for tourists and young locals—Il Canale is right in the heart of it. Some would say that Pizzeria Paradiso on nearby M Street also serves a Neapolitan pie, but that's quickly disproven by Paradiso's dry, crunchy, cornmeal-coated crust. Wood-fired, yes. Neapolitan, no.
Il Canale will more likely satisfy a craving for Neapolitan-style pizza. The Margherita is thoughtfully assembled from top-quality ingredients (including Italian buffalo mozzarella), and overall is a pleasure, though I'd like to see a lighter hand with the sauce. The crust is has a slightly crisp exterior and good chew but lacks the character and depth of flavor found in a truly excellent pie. I'd say this pizza falls in the 95th percentile of DC pies, and 15 years ago, it would have been in the 99th.
The Filetti, with its creamy buffalo mozzarella and juicy cherry tomatoes, is a delight, but again the crust comes up just a bit short, with a certain uniformity of color and surface texture in the cornicione.
The Italia is a white pizza topped (after baking) with salty, paper-thin prosciutto, a generous handful of peppery arugula, and shards of shaved Parmesan. The sauce is wisely left off, as tomato and prosciutto never really play well together. It's a brilliant combination of flavors and textures, and a very satisfying pie.
Il Canale offers a full Italian menu for both lunch and dinner, along with a compact but well-rounded wine list. With friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, it's quickly becoming a favorite among Georgetowners and visitors alike. The pizza may not be the DC area's absolute best, but it's close enough to warrant a try.

Post subject: What is your favorite TEA variety?
From the "What's your favorite coffee" thread, a guest wrote in telling her favorite tea. I thought I would start a thread on that topic beginning with a quote of her post:
magenta wrote:
I like tea more then coffee. My fave is Earl Gray (natural). I also like tea with different herbs.
I saw that the guest, "Magenta" likes NATURAL Earl Gray Tea. Until the early or middle 1970's, Twinings Earl Gray Tea was what I would call "Natural" and I drank that a lot of it. After that time, they started adding Bergamot oil (a type of orange) to their Earl Gray Tea, and I haven't liked it since. I miss the old Natural Earl Gray.
So, for now, my favorite teas (hot or iced) are black teas, mostly Twinings Irish Breakfast, English Breakfast and Darjeeling. I like my hot teas with a tiny amount of cream and sugar. I take my iced teas "straight." When I was a teenager and wanted to be a little obnoxious, I would brew a pot of Lapsang Souchong. (If you've had that one, you know what I mean!)
Does anybody know which tea company makes Earl Gray tea that does NOT have Bergamot oil???

Post subject: Ummm.. doesn't the bergamot kinda make the tea Earl Grey?
I can't think that I've ever had Earl Grey (from any tea company) without Bergamot oil. According to
, the addition of Bergamot to black tea is what defines Earl grey.
Are you sure the recipe didn't just have less of the oil of Bergamot? I've definitely seen variations in how much different vendors add.

^^^^ I'm positive (99.999%) that there wasn't any Bergamot in the old Earl Gray Twinings made in the early 1970's. I had a display in the pantry of about ten different tins of loose Twinings teas when I was in high school. Later, when I went to college, I saw the tin had changed and it then said "with Bergamot oil". When I saw that, I had to look up what a bergamot was when I got home. At first I thought it might have been just a reprinting of the label on the can, except the tea tasted completely different and I only had a couple of cups of that tea. I never finished the can and I had previously liked Earl Gray a lot.

alot of people seem to think otherwise - as suggested earlier, seems bergamot oil is part of the definition per:

I'm super fond of mint tea, left to brew forever either unsweetened or with a touch of honey. Either that or Basil, crushed up with some Meyer lemon in hot water. Not sure if either qualify as proper tea...

I'm easy. I drink the regular Lipton tea that can be bought at Costco in huge boxes for cheap.
My better half has fancier tastes. She likes the Good Earth Green Tea with Lemongrass and Tazo White Tea.

I think the confusion is the fact that some Earl Grey Teas have lavender in them, like this
Earl Grey Tea
here. I believe that Twingings used to advertise the lavender part of their tea decades ago because they felt that Bergamot sounded too foreign for their customers.
Make no doubt about it, earl Grey has to have Bergamot included by definition. An Earl Grey without Bergamot would be like cooking a Coq Au Vin without red wine.

I like the fruity kind like cherry & cranberry, apple & pear, or citrus blend. I like green tea too, but I prefer it iced with 1 1/2 spoon, sugar and a squeeze of lemon.

The first in a series on the US Conference on AIDS for the Black AIDS Institute. It's being syndicated across Black-owned and HIV/AIDS news media. The conference sponsored by the National Minority AIDS Council is the largest HIV/AIDS gathering in the nation.
The target population of USCA 2011 was gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM). Black MSM continue to suffer most in the domestic epidemic. New HIV infections among Black MSM ages 13-29 rose an alarming 48 percent between 2006 and 2009, reports the CDC.
The opening plenary featured David Furnish, chair of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, as its keynote speaker. The plenary was moderated by CNN anchor Don Lemon--probably the nation's highest-profile Black gay man--and featured Arizona State Senator Jack Jackson, former Project Runway contestant Mondo Guerra and BeiBei Ye, director of the Zhixing Guangzhou LGBT Center in China.
The rising number of new HIV infections among Black MSM youths "has been the case for the last few years, but I'm very glad to see that it's getting some attention," said Isaiah Webster III, director of capacity building at the Washington, D.C.-based Metro TeenAIDS. "It's not often you see that in a conference plenary."

The Black Widow incorporates many innovative concepts. Featuring a rough black oxide coating on the point to prevent darts from falling out. Flights and shafts may vary. Barrels: Black-coated 90/10 tungsten, Shafts: Spider Leg, Fixed: Alamo, MP Flights: 2 Sets...
These premium Steel-tip models come equipped with Spider Leg shafts, special Laser Points, and are available in both FIXED and MOVEABLE point models.
The manufacturing process begins with a billet of high-density tungsten. The billet is then center-ground and shaped. The barrel design gives you the best of both worlds... A slightly front-weighted dart for increased accuracy, and a slim barrel for more precise groups. After all tooling is completed, the barrel is re-checked for proper weight.
Darts are normally coated by painting or baking the barrel surface. "Widows" are vapor coated in high heat furnaces that fuse mixtures of titanium/tantalum nitride and titanium carbide to the tungsten barrel. These durable coatings, available in black or gold, provide unsurpassed gripping qualities and a startling appearance.
Ringed or Grooved models.
Four high tensile strength wires are anchored in an aluminum base and covered with heat shrunk rubber to form a firm hold on the flight.
LASER POINTS (Steel-Tip Dart Models)
A rough black oxide coating is applied to the point to increase friction and prevent softly thrown darts from falling out.
Packaged in a deluxe case with extra flights and shafts.
