★★★★★ - "Whenever you work with a service provider the first time, you really don't know what you're going to get. So it's a pleasant surprise when they show up on time for an estimate and seem to genuinely care about understanding the job and meeting your needs. Then, when they do the job and completely exceed expectations, you know you've found a gem…someone you'll always call first in the future. That describes my experience with CKS Cleaning. The before and after pictures speak for themselves. Plus, they couldn't be nicer people. Oh - and their price was very competitive. Need I say more?"

Our waiting room floors, hallway & bathroom at our dance studio had not been stripped, waxed or polished professionally in years. The floors were so scratched up from our students dancing on them with their hard shoes, I was certain you were going to tell me that I needed to get new floor and they were beyond salvaging. How wrong was I? The floors look fabulous, like new!! I will not hesitate recommending you to other businesses, family & friends. You were so prompt, friendly and reasonable too. I love family businesses, you can tell the difference. I know I will be calling you all again in the future. Thank you so much Cornelius, Sarah & Kevin. You guys rock."

After more than 20 years of service as the drummer of Greek neo-psychedelic pioneers Purple Overdose and No Man's Land (still on active duty with the latter), Chris Silver T decided to temporarily abandon his drum kit in order to embark on a private journey in the sea of sounds that laps the shores of his mind. The results of this esoteric trip can be heard in the soundscapes of NOS Project: ambient memories of places one visits in dreams.

Last week I told you about Too Faced's Galaxy Glam Eye Shadows and how gorgeous they are. Too Faced has expanded these eyeshadows by introducing four new shades and they are a great compliment to the existing shades, I already picked up a few more. The new shades are:
Amber Asteroid: dark brown with yellow gold
Cocoa Comet: dark brown with sky blue and peach
Magenta Moon: dark brown with vibrant magenta
Mocha Meteor: dark brown with peach champagne
I picked up Amber Asteroid and Cocoa Comet and I'm absolutely in love with Amber Asteroid. The description Sephora gives is a little misleading but it gives a look an intense golden shimmer… very pretty!

On a recent foggy morning in San Francisco, a twenty-something commuter fiddled with his Pebble smart watch as he boarded the streetcar on his way to work, juggling an iPhone in the other hand. Asked why he had two smart devices, he replied, "The watch is just a toy, my iPhone is my life."
Smartwatches such as Pebble and Samsung Gear (and Apple's much-rumored iWatch); fitness trackers like Nike FuelBand and Jawbone Up; and interactive glasses like Google Glass are undoubtedly cool. But are they viable, mass-market products – or just destined for the dustbin of failed products?
Device makers, of course, are betting people can never have too many mobile internet gadgets.
"There is incredible demand for our product, and, this fall, more and more people will be putting an intelligent device on their wrist," says Pebble CEO and Founder Eric Migicovsky in a recent interview. Since May, 275,000 Pebble smartwatches have been sold online, at BestBuy and in AT&T stores, the company says.
As cool as wearable gadgets may be, history has shown consumers mostly stick to one main mobile device – and right now, that's the smartphone. Most of the smartwatch makers aim to succeed by connecting their watches to smartphones via Bluetooth, extending smartphone alerts and apps 'outside of the pocket'. Other specialized wearables like the highly popular Nike FuelBand, are more or less standalone products – though still can be synced with a smartphone.
Whether billed as smartphone companions or standalone devices, wearable computers may be emerging at the right time to spur mass market uptake. A combination of factors – including widespread mobile broadband, low-cost hardware, and the consumer expectation to be 'always connected' – have coalesced to create a perfect storm for wearables.
Certainly, analyst predictions on the uptake of wearable devices are rosy. ABI Research, which tracks the mobile device market, predicts 'wearable technologies devices' such as smartwatches and wristbands will exceed 537 million annual shipments by 2018, with smart watches and glasses being the fastest-growing categories, and wearable fitness trackers accounting for the largest number of shipments.
"Sports and activity trackers are definitely mass market products," said Joshua Flood, analyst at ABI Research. "Furthermore, smart watches are on the cusp of becoming a big breakthrough, and next year, we will see smart glasses take off."
IHS Global Insights predicts the global market for wearable devices, including everything from hearing aids to smartwatches, will reach $9 billion globally this year, and $30 billion by 2018.
"Activity monitors will continue to see rapid growth, and smart glasses will reach unit ships in the low millions by the end of next year," said Shane Walker, an analyst at IHS. However, in terms of overall unit growth, I expect smart watches to experience the highest volume over the next five years as the larger CE manufacturers continue to push the devices, and then Google and Apple make an entry."
Credit Suisse is even more bullish on wearable mobile devices; the research firm believes the market could be worth $50 billion by 2017.
Despite the rosy picture pundits paint for wearables, consumers will ultimately decide whether these devices are essential tools, or just disposable toys. Right now, the buyer verdict is still out.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, in particular, has suffered from some damning reviews. And Samsung has been at the smart watch since 1999, so it's hardly a new player in the space.
"Galaxy Gear just isn't something most folks need; it's not even something I wanted to keep on my wrist all day," said Christina Bonnington, a writer for Wired's Gadget Lab, in her review of the device.
Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst at Forrester who covers "the internet of things", recently said at a conference: "You can call me a smartwatch skeptic. I don't see that any vendor, with the possible exception of Apple, can make smartwatches a mainstream success."
When it comes down to it, consumers aren't even sure they want to wear smart devices. According to a survey from Cornerstone OnDemand, 42 percent of workers said they would not be willing to adopt wearable tech devices, even if asked to do so for their jobs.
Cheerleaders of wearable computers say we're simply in the early-adopter phase. After all, before the iPhone appeared, few people thought they needed an internet connection, weather, games, and music on their phones.
"Look at the way we experience mobile communication today; this is not the end point," said Andrew Sheehy, chief analyst at UK consultancy Generator Research, in a recent interview. He believes the smartphone is just the beginning of the mobile device revolution, pointing out the "phone" form-factor is fundamentally ill-suited to quick tasks like composing voice texts, checking information updates, and collecting and responding to automatic sensor input.
Whether wearable computers take off in a big way, or just remain fun toys, remains to be seen. But a combination of forces – including an exponential rise in mobile bandwidth and a huge increase in computing power on tiny chips – certainly give wearables a fighting chance to break into the mainstream.

In the back of the minds of
many of the freshmen there may
lurk some questions. How is it that
some kids don't come to chapel?
Why can't we room together with
our best friends ? How come we
can't apply "our own special" to
the "split T" formation which has
been our dream for years? Why
can't our 17-group fool-proof plan
be applied to the daily grub we
have to line up for each day ? .. .
And while Bethel still appears
lovely, some of the many dreams
we had about it seem to dissolve.
If we could just brush the dust
off the yellow pages of some
Clarion issues, we'd find that
chapel "morals" have been thor-oughly
rehashed, that coach Lun-din
has done a pretty good job for
the past years, and that the din-ing
hall staff has been busy, care-fully
planning "how to win the
heart and influence the stomach."
And yet, we find Bethel eager
to take some of the medicine we
brought with us for her ailments,
if we keep in mind not to feed her
too many spoonfuls art a time,
and to keep her smiling while she
is painfully swallowing our cod-liver

Probably no one ever completely
understands modern art. But some
people try. They gush: "Ooh, it's ,

"Mmm, yes. Splendid!"
Others stare and nod their heads.
Some just stare.
Two students of the class which
"just stare" last week decided to
quit staring and start talking.
"Why not try to understand this

coffee. "Mr. Johnson has been so

Cheerful Giving
About a year ago an article appeared in the CLARION entitled
"Offerings—A Second Look." This being apparently one of the sub-jects
hashed out annually, it is, perhaps, time for the third look.
The obvious thing to begin with would be a lament that total
offerings last year fell short of the goal. This reflects the usual ap-proach
to the subject: "Why don't students give more?" The solution—
to follow the pattern—would be to find a bigger and better incentive.
Last year's CLARION article suggested that the offerings be given
to a mission or maybe to Bethel itself.
But we don't really think that meeting goals is all that giving
involves. Giving should benefit not only the recipient, but also the
giver. And, if we believe that the highest benefit for him is the satis-faction
of pleasing God—and that God is not pleased with anything
less than "cheerful" giving—then attitude becomes something all-important.
At Bethel the development of this kind of Christian attitudes is
fostered. However, there is a custom connected with chapel offerings
which, it seems to us, is not conducive to graciousness in giving. (Nor
has it proved effective in meeting the yearly goals.) This is the money
beginning in the speches that are given prior to each offering, which
remind us how far behind our goal we are. We suggest, "Every man
according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give."
Why Smoking Pledge?
by Dale Nystrom
One of the most objectionable impositions upon residents of the
Hagstrom residence is the recent dictation from Bethel's administra-tion
with respect to guests smoking in student's apartments. The ad-ministration
insists that if a student has guests who smoke, he will
ask them to stop. The circular was distributed to the residents with
an emphasis that it must be signed.
With chagrin I signed the paper; but fortunately, I have never
been exposed to the necessity of enforcing it. Since that time, there has
been considerable discussion about the circular. Much to my surprise
I've yet to find a couple who feels that this is a wise commitment to
make to the administration. But it's better than living off campus!
It's not even too surprising that the CLARION could not carry
through with its original plans to present a "pro" and "con" issue.
They simply could not find anyone who would write a "pro" argu-ment.
Surely this is indicative of some reconsideration of the matter.
There's not a single student in Hagstrom residence who feels that
smoking is conducive to a wholesome Christian testimony. But none
feels he can literally force his convictions upon someone of other or
no convictions. The objection in every case seems to be that such a
negative emphasis is not enhancing to "winning others."
Perhaps the circular was just a hasty proclamation against some-thing
from which we all are abstaining. We all want to be positive
and contagious in our projection of Christianity. A negative emphasis
now would hinder this.
If we really believe that "love" (as Paul speaks of it as doing
"all things,") has not lost its labor then perhaps we should seek to
effect it more vividly and completely in our experiences with those who
are not yet Christians.
tio Really Impress Jeer
by Jim Dinsmore
It is very important that a good impression be created on your
first date with a girl. We shall consider some of the finer points of
When you call on a girl to pick her up for a date, you must be
very courteous. You should honk very softly at first and resort to long,
loud honks only if it takes her more than three minutes to get to the
car. Of course, if she has to come a long way, such as from the top
floor of the dorm, you can allow another thirty seconds.
When she gets into the car, you should greet her with a kind
phrase, such as:
"Well, you finally made it, huh?" or, "What took you so long?"
or "What do you think, we got all night?"
Once at your destination, you may well run into a ticklish situa-tion.
Some gifts have been taught by prudish parents that boys should
open car doors for girls. If your date is one of these, you can handle
the situation easily by walking a few feet up the sidewalk, turning,
and saying, "Well, what are you waiting for?"
It is quite important that the girl be made to feel your equal. If
you're taking her somewhere where tickets are needed, you can do this
by inviting her to pay for her ticket. If you already have the tickets,
she can pay for treats afterwards.
If you attend a play or a concert, certain little actions serve to
create a lasting impression. A low, romantic whistle is good when action
on stage grows dull. Try "Mother Machree" or "Little Annie Rooney."
Gum popping is also popular. It is amazing how these little actions
can create so great an impression on a girl.
On the way home, it is always nice to have lunch. If she's pay-ing,
a good hearty snack is in order. This proves to the girl that you
appreciate good cooking. If you're going to get stuck with the bill,
a pertinent comment about her weight will tend to make her order
When you take your girl back home, courtesy is the keyword. When
you let her out of the car, don't just drive off and forget her. Honk
as you leave.

Dear Editor:
My blood ran cold and then hot
the other day as I went through
the dining hall line. First it ran
cold when I saw to my dismay
that we were having WEINERS
again for supper. Then it ran hot
as I saw the football player in
front of me get his plate heaped
high with roast beef. When I stood
patiently waiting nor my helping
of roast beef two weiners were
shoved by under my nose by the
sweet little girl behind the coun-ter.
When I looked dismayed she
growled. "You a football player ?
Then move on; big boy." When I
inquired as to why the segrega-tion
and degradation here on
Bethel's campus I was informed
that these guys hustle out on the
football field and that entitles
them to a special larger portion.
Well Mr. Editor the rest of us
guys hustle right here on the
campus and we don't get anything
extra for it; never mind anything
Just what am I trying to say?
It's this: Let's instead of having
special chow for the hounds, let's
give the roast beef to everybody.
We never get tired of roast beef
but those tube steaks just aren't
Do We Seedud's Wonders?
by Astrid Barbins
"the world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending we lay waste our powers,
Little we see in nature that is ours."
Does this statement mean us ? Have we also become so preoccu-pied
with getting and spending that there is no time left to marvel
at God's great works of art?
The poets and composers of the past went out into the tranquility
of nature and were inspired to great works that have outlived their
lives and their tombs and have stirred many people. The pagans, in
blind superstition, bowed down and worshiped the sun, the moon, and
the stars. The echoes in the mountains were the voices of their gods;
the woods and fields were filled with mysterious beings. Perhaps in
their ignorance they experienced nature more deeply than we in our
confidence that we understand.
Not that we should regard nature as a god and worship it, but
we should not be so blind that things about us have nothing to teach
us. To David the heavens declared God's handiwork and the earth
showed forth His glory; Christ told us to behold the flowers in the
fields and the birds in the air and learn from them. But we have be-come
too preoccupied for that; the stars are nothing but a mass of
heat; the flowers by the roadside are covered with dust.
If Christians would listen to the music that breathes in the air
and learn from the quiet beauty of a flower, perhaps we would have
something deeper to offer to the world because we have walked with
God in the quiet of His creation.
with it, in my opinion. The per-son
who invented hot dogs should
be taken, together with the man
who wrote the song "Hot Dog I
Love My Weiner Man" and ground
up to further their cause. It seems
to me in correlation with the old
American adage "All men are
created equal," that equal should
get equal food. There is no reason
in the world as far as I can see
why the faculty or football play-ers
should get different food from
the rest of us plebians. I'm not
trying to make any enemies, just
trying to do away with desegre-dation
in the dining hall.

•Picture During Chapel?
Dear Editor:
Our chapel period on Thursday,
Oct. 4, consisted of everyone lin-ing
up on riser for a school pic-ture.
We don't take class pic-tures
for the yearbook during the
chapel hour. Nor do we slate any
other extra-curricular activities
for that hour each day. I'm cer-tain
there would be objection to
it if we did. The administration
should follow the policies they ex-pect
us to uphold in these matters.

World Series Memo
Meet The Player
Bruce Erickson
by Cy Lent
I'm not saying I dislike Yankee fans, but some of them sure have
rocks in their heads. Take the guy sitting next to me at the television
set for the first series game.
He was telling me about how great the Yanks were, and I just had
him convinced that they were from a weak league when Mantle popped
that lazy homer for two lucky runs.
"That Maglie won't last the first inning," he said to me. I was
too busy worrying about the class I was skipping to answer.
Just about that time another guy (it must have been his brother)
came down and said, "Who's playing ? Braves and Cardinals?"
But, to get back to this guy next to me, I guess he's a Mantle
fan. When Mickey fouled one up over the television camera, he'd yell,
"There it goes! Get the tape measure!"
I asked him if Mantle hit them so far he didn't have to run them
out, because he was still standing by the plate. It didn't help though,
because when Mantle fouled another one, he was up yelling again.
Then, he started to tell me that Maglie was throwing the spit-ball.
"How else could a guy 39 years old beat the Yanks?" he asked.
"The same way a 40 year-old Slaughter could get three hits," I
As I said, some Yankee fans have rocks in their heads. And I
ought to know; the guy sitting next to me was my roommate.

Northwestern, of Watertown,

Saturday afternoon September 29
at Highland. Bethel's forward wall
which played sharp ball against
General Beadle, was consistently
riddled with line plunges and off
tackle slants. The drives often
went for long gains if not touch-downs
by the experienced North-westerners.
At the outset of the game,
Northwestern recovered a fumble
deep in Royal territory on Bethel's
first offensive attempt. They rap-idly
racked up seven points and
were never headed.

was the bright spot of
the Royal squad as he engineered
his team to their lone touchdown,

the game.
Rekstad scored the most unusual
touchdown by intercepting a pitch-out
in the air and running 60
yards for the score. Rich Samuel-son
made the longest gain for
Bethel as he went 73 yards for
Bethel's fourth touchdown on a
fullback draw play.
The Royals had little trouble
with their offense as they gained
290 yards to Sioux Falls' 143.
They tried only three passes and
completed all of them, two for
touchdowns. Sioux Falls tried
seven passes and completed only
one for nine yards.
Sioux Falls gained nine first
downs to Bethel's seven, but that
was simply because Bethel consis-tently
reeled off runs longer than
ten yards.

It's the woman who works! At
least this appears to be true at
Hagstrom residence. The college
office reports that there are ap-proximately
150 married students
in the college and seminary this
year. Through a recent poll of 26
of these married couples, some in-teresting
facts were secured about
the students' wives.
Of the 26 that were interviewed
it was found that 16 wives have
full time jobs and that all but
seven do some work in offices,
nursing, switchboard operating
and factory work. Of these seven
who do not work, all but two have
children. Four of the wives inter-viewed
go to school full time with
their husbands.
All in all it would seem that
these figures spell out the fact
that behind every married Bethel
student there is a conscientious
wife doing her part in helping her
husband through school.

Blood Donations
Drop This Year
Only 61 pints of blood were
given to the Blood-mobile last
Wednesday by the Bethel students,
faculty and staff, as compared to
the 79 pints donated last year.
Last year's donations were
double those of 1954-55, corres-ponding
with last year's enroll-ment
increase. The decrease in con-tributions
this year has no such
correspondence however, since
there is a 12 per cent increase in
enrollment over last year.
Eighty persons registered to
donate blood, but 19 were unable
to do so, due to time conflicts,
and lack of parental consent.
Others, having come in contact
with certain diseases, were ineligi-ble
to give.
Students will have an oppor-tunity
to give again when the
Blood-mobile returns to Bethel in
Blood can be given every 90 days
without harming the body. How-ever,
it should not be done more
than five times a year, according
to Marian Reimer, school nurse.
To 46 Members
The Bethel band has nearly
doubled in size this year, accord-ing
to the recent membership list.
The group of 46 students, under
the direction of Charles Erickson,
has been rehearsing each Tuesday
evening. Baritone horn players are
especially needed.

trips to the Mexican section of St.
Paul where they visited a Mexican
church and ate dinner in a Mexi-can
restaurant. The Rev. Edward
Pentecost, who is from Mexico,
spoke to the members of the club
at their monthly meeting on Octo-ber
2. He explained the educa-tional
system of the universities
and the opportunities there for
study and Christian service.

Mid-Level SQLite client library http://github.com/nurpax/sqlite-simple
|Version on this page:
|LTS Haskell 13.25:
|Stackage Nightly 2019-06-12:
|Latest on Hackage:
Module documentation for 0.4.16.0
There are no documented modules for this package.
sqlite-simple: mid-level bindings to the sqlite database
This library is a mid-level Haskell binding to the SQLite database.
Sqlite-simple provides a convenient API to sqlite that does some level of automatic data conversion between the database and Haskell types. The API has been modeled directly after postgresql-simple which in turn borrows from mysql-simple.
The sqlite-simple API reference contains more examples of use and information on its features.
The library is well tested and stable. The library should also be reasonably performant. You can find its benchmark suite here: db-bench. You can read more about sqlite-simple's expected performance in my blog about sqlite-simple performance against direct-sqlite, Python and C.
You can install sqlite-simple from Hackage with:
cabal install sqlite-simple
A Windows user? It works but please see this note on direct-sqlite Windows installation.
Examples of use
Create a test database by copy&pasting the below snippet to your shell:
sqlite3 test.db "CREATE TABLE test (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, str text);\
INSERT INTO test (str) VALUES ('test string');"
..and access it in Haskell:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Control.Applicative
import Database.SQLite.Simple
import Database.SQLite.Simple.FromRow
data TestField = TestField Int String deriving (Show)
instance FromRow TestField where
fromRow = TestField <$> field <*> field
main :: IO ()
main = do
conn <- open "test.db"
execute conn "INSERT INTO test (str) VALUES (?)"
(Only ("test string 2" :: String))
r <- query_ conn "SELECT * from test" :: IO [TestField]
mapM_ print r
close conn
More simple usage examples can be found from sqlite-simple unit tests.
The development roadmap for sqlite-simple is mostly captured in the github issue database.
I'm happy to receive bug reports, fixes, documentation enhancements, and other improvements.
Please report bugs via the github issue tracker.
For general database issues with a Haskell focus, I recommend sending e-mail to the database-devel mailing list.
If you send pull requests for new features, it'd be great if you could also develop unit tests for any such features.
A lot of the code is directly borrowed from mysql-simple by Bryan O'Sullivan and from postgresql-simple by Leon P. Smith. Like Leon in postgresql-simple, I borrow code and documentation directly from both of these ancestor libraries.
This package builds on top of the direct-sqlite package by Irene Knapp.
SQLite is rather weakly-typed and thus the SQL to Haskell type strictness of the parent projects does not necessarily apply to this package.

Originally named Terminus (to mark the end of the rail line) and later renamed Marthasville (in honor of Governor Wilson Lumpkin's daughter), Atlanta, the state's capital and the county seat for Fulton County, earned its current name in 1848.
The cultural center for the state, Atlanta houses several arts venues and attractions, including the Atlanta Ballet, the High Museum of Art, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center and Zoo Atlanta. Atlanta also serves as home to several professional and collegiate sporting clubs, such as the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Hawks.
Every year, well-known festivals and parades, like the Dogwood Festival and the National Black Arts Festival, attract local residents to parks and restaurants around the city.
Also an intellectual center of the state, the metro-Atlanta area is home to a number of nationally-recognized colleges, technical schools, and universities, among which are Clark Atlanta University, Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, Morehouse College, Morris Brown College, Oglethorpe University, Savannah College of Art & Design, and Spelman College.
Famous individuals from the city include civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., golfer Bobby Jones, comedian Nipsey Russell and author of Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell.

All is Aweome but the Voice Recognition/NAV a ZERO
By bethereornot on Monday, April 09, 2018The ride, power and technology is awesome. But like I said in the Summary, I give the the Navigation and the Voice recognition a big fat 0 out of 10. I thought Siri could be bad, this takes bad to another level. NAV never takes the route that my phone gives me, not even close. My brother and I both bought a new Toyota about a week apart and the experience is the same for both of us, so much we joke about it on the phone because he lives 500 miles away. We will be in our SUV and say listen to this. Directions to main st Columbus Ohio, it will come back and say finding a doughnut shop closest to you (just an Example) We have both trained and retrained the system but owell we both have smart phones to rescue us and that isnt why either of us bought our SUV. I would buy it again even with the short comings of some of the techy stuff.

Very Intelligent SUV in this crowded segment
By Jayrod on Saturday, March 04, 2017I come from a Ford family, owning trucks most of my life. when the wife wanted an upscale SUV, I made sure I did my homework. we closely looked at the Explorer, Pilot, CX9 and MDX. I didnt consider the others (Durango, Grand Cherokee, Pathfinder, Hyundai.) My main objectives, were reliability, resale value, styling, comfort and gas mileage. When we test drove the Highlander, we were very impressed with the redesign. in addition, the cabin welcomed you with high-quality materials and four captains chairs. The dash was easy to navigate. The interior colors (grey leather w black carpet) were ideal for us. I highly considered the Highlander due to its Toyota quality and the tried and true 3.5 V6 engine. Other competitors had new engines, which I didnt want to be the guinea pig. Or other engines that were known to be gas hogs. Our test drive really sold the vehicle with very minimal road noise and comfort. Im glad I went with the Highlander. I must note that other makes and models make the SUV market, very competitive. To me,the MDX was a close second. I just couldnt absorb the fact that I would be paying for premium unleaded. The Explorer had a great ride, except the dash and the black interior was uninviting and the CX9 had a great interior with a new redesign, except it carried a new turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, which I hear they have already had recalls. I must add that Consumer Reports regarded the new Highlander (XLS model)as one of the best SUVS in the market giving the consumer The best bang for your buck. My humble advise, do your homework before you purchase. I did and it paid off. Very happy with our new Highlander XLS in Ocean Blue color!

Good car for tech savy
By jouni on Monday, February 12, 2018I am a retired IT guy, and after 5 months, I still struggle mastering some things. Some of it is that there are basic things missing, like CD player having no way to skip ahead/back within a song. The manual has dozen or more pages on bluetooth and ipod and stuff, but a mere mention about CD player. But some of it is because there are so many features and nuances. So, if youre under 40 and into technology this may be the car for you! The rest of us need to take classes to learn to use this beast;-) The LDA and ACC road features really hit the spot for me. Makes driving 3 hours to the cabin a breeze...almost a joy! And I am impressed with gas mileage. Several 100+ mile treks averaging over 28MPG with the wind (around 70MPH). Good tow vehicle. Rear lift gate is ridiculously slow to open. Good backup camera. Front left and right blind spots, especially if youre short like my wife.

Diplomat Elementary principal Linda Caruso was standing outside in the school's courtyard, with a camera pointed at her, trying to feel comfortable. Always quick with a smile and funny remark, she found herself without either until she noticed a group of students on their way to lunch. She flashed a big smile and joked with them, the stress of the moment instantly melting away.
"That's what I'm going to miss," Caruso said. "I'm looking forward to golfing, but I'm really going to miss the kids."
The conclusion of this school year marks the end of Caruso's career as principal and educator. She opened Diplomat 22 years ago and has spent 42 in the Lee County School District. "I was 2," she said laughing.
Article Photos
Linda Carusa is retiring after 22 years as Diplomat Elementary's principal.
Photo by Michael Pistella
She avoids listing accomplishments as a measuring tool for her career. Diplomat has been an "A" school for 11 straight years now. Talk to Caruso, and she probably won't mention those things. Education is more than that to her.
"I've tried to have a positive impact on the lives of students and staff," Caruso said. "If I've done that, I've fulfilled everything I can. I don't need any other accomplishment. If I've changed one child's life, I've done what I was made to do."
Her impact can be seen in former students like Kenny Jenkins. Now a regional director of a South Florida corporation headquartered in Fort Myers, Jenkins came to Diplomat as a "problem kid."
"I had one incident where I pulled the fire alarm - it was a really big deal," Jenkins remembered. "She took me into her office and told me if I continued doing these things I would end up somewhere I didn't want to be. After all the people talking to me up to that point, nothing had helped. But when she talked to me that day, it finally sunk in. That was real pivotal moment in my life."
Jenkins has returned to Diplomat to visit Caruso many times through the years, after graduating from high school and college. After hearing that she was retiring, he came back the other day to visit her with his 3-month-old baby.
"I wanted to make sure she knew what she meant to me," he said. "She's caring beyond measure."
Caruso has always seen a little of herself in students like Jenkins.
"I gave my teachers a hard time," Caruso said. "I struggled in school."
But through her own education, teachers and principals helped her and it made her realize, "I can do that, I can be a help to struggling, young kids."
Caruso's been a great help in the start of kindergarten teacher Brooke Przespolewski's own career. Przespolewski was hired by Caruso right out of college. She's the only principal she's worked for in her 10 years of teaching.
"She's taught me everything," Przespolewski said. "She's been so good to me and to the children. I don't even know how to put into words how she's touched everyone's lives. She's an absolutely amazing person."
Caruso has some plans for retirement. The first is a move to Atlanta to be close to family and her 9-month-old granddaughter. And there's also finally being able to spend more time on the golf course. But not being surrounded by children for the first time in more than 40 years is causing her "angst."
All over the walls of Diplomat's office are portraits of past and present students. There's even a few photos of former students who are now parents of children currently going to the school.
"That's what it's about," Caruso said. "I started that (placing photographs of students) when we opened this school. We could make it all decorated and put fluff up, but what it's all about is the kids. It should be nothing but about the kids, and it's not just about saying that. It's act it, do it, live it."

Amir Johnson gets Raptors logo shaved into his head (PHOTO)
When getting a colored Toronto Raptors logo shaved into the back of your head is only the third-best viral moment of your month, you know it's been a productive December.
Take a bow, Amir Johnson.
The Raptors forward showed off his new haircut on Instagram Thursday night and it's a doozy. The cut features a Raptors claw, painted red, that's shaved into the back of his head, just above a bar code tattoo and some shoulder tats that make him look like a basketball-playing Lisbeth Salander.
Earlier this month, Johnson was ejected from a game for throwing his mouthpiece at a referee. He later drew online attention for posting a picture of himself dangerously putting the star on top of a two-story Christmas tree.
Our favorite part of the photo is the use of a retro Instagram filter. It really takes you back to the days of yore, when all your favorite basketball players like Jerry West and Sam Jones had their team's respective logos shaved above their tats.

EA: We love Wii U
Back in June, everyone was talking about the Wii U, Nintendo's first video game console with high-definition graphics unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.
Since then, no one's heard much more about Wii U, which has a tablet screen for a controller and can be used in conjunction with Wii remotes. Nintendo must be hunkering down to put the finishing touches on it before it hits stores sometime next year.
But Peter Moore, the video game industry veteran who was promoted to be Electronic Arts' chief operating officer in August, told Reuters this week that everything appears to be on track with the Wii U, at least from his perspective working for a publisher making games for it.
"There are no indications that there's anything that feels like it's off target," Moore said. Nintendo's stock has taken a beating in recent months and its share price is approaching its low for the year.
Moore said he will be visiting Nintendo's hometown of Kyoto next week to check on how the console is shaping up.
"From our perspective right now, specs are a big deal," he said, adding that during his trip, he will looking to find out more about the gadget's graphic and computer processing units, its price and when it might be shipped.
Moore, who has experience launching consoles from his days at Microsoft, says Nintendo was smart to incorporate a tablet into the console with the Wii U.
"No one thinks its going to replace an iPad 2 but it is playing into what a consumer feels comfortable with," Moore said.
In the past, publishers have backed away from dedicating too much content to Nintendo platforms, since the Japanese company tended to use its consoles to push its own software titles. But make no mistake, EA is on board with the Wii U, Moore said.
"Our teams are working on it around the world. Our key franchises will be there. We've made that commitment to Nintendo."

The Hyde Amendment and Coverage for Abortion Services
This policy insight examines the Hyde Amendment, an annually approved law that bans the use of federal funds to pay for abortions unless the pregnancy is a result of rape, incest, or endangerment of the life of a woman. The Hyde Amendment has become the focus of debate in the 2016 presidential election. Hillary Clinton is the first presidential candidate to openly support lifting the Hyde bans on federal funding for abortion, while Donald Trump recently endorsed the codification of the law and established a Pro-life coalition. This perspective details the federal programs that are affected by the Hyde Amendment, provides estimates on the share of women insured by Medicaid affected by the law, the impact on their access to abortion services, and the potential effect if the law were to be repealed or codified.Policy Insights Read Post

Multibar: Multi Feature Dock For Windows With Add-on Support
Multibar is a skinnable Windows dock that helps you organize your applications, files and folders. It provides instant access to gadgets and shortcuts, and enables searching YouTube, Wikipedia and Google without cluttering your desktop. Multibar remains hidden by default, and only appears on mouse hover, hence it can house several useful shortcuts without consuming a large chunk of your desktop space. The functionality of Multibar can be further enhanced with the help of add-ons.
After installation, you can start Multibar from the start menu or desktop shortcut to get the overlaying sidebar dock. The dock provides weather and search gadgets, along with shortcuts for Firefox, Windows Media Player, My Computer, Shutdown, Restart, Hibernate, logout etc.
You can add more shortcuts to the dock by either dragging and dropping icons to it, or via right-click context menu.
The dock is highly customizable, and you can change it's skin, enable hotkey support, change dock position, (up, down, left and right), change dock transparency, icon size and much more. Settings can be accessed either by clicking the Cog wheel from the top of the bar, or, again, via right-click context menu. The options provided in this section are quite elaborate, and can help you fully customize the bar to suit your requirements.
Multibar comes with 17 different themes, which, themselves, are also customizable (dock opacity, for instance).
Multibar is still in early development, and it seems that is likely to get better as more add-ons and updated versions of the program become available. For now, the only issue that you are likely to face are a few minor lags. For example, it can take slightly longer than usual for an application to open when you launch it via Multibar. Hopefully, these issues will be ironed out by the developer in upcoming versions.
Multibar works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, including 64-bit system architecture.

Why Yale? Yale was the first school I visited junior year and I instantly fell in love. I visited many other schools but never strayed from wanting to be at Yale. I had my heart set. When I met the field hockey team, I saw how much pride they had in Yale and how much fun they were having in college. I knew that they were the types of girls I would like to be friends with and was sold on the school.
