Open '47-'48
School Year
Bethel officially opened its arm of
welcome on Wednesday, September 3,
and received over 200 Freshmen,
eager to begin their college work. The
Freshmen tested their knowledge,
listened to Orientation lectures and
registered during the three following
days. A "get-acquainted campfire was
held in Como Park, Thursday night.
Chartered streetcars took them to the
Minneapolis Youth for Christ on Sat-urday
night. By Monday when most
of the upper classmen returned, the
Freshmen were well settled and en-joying
the fellowship at Bethel.
Monday, September 8, was Soph-more
and Junior Registration day.
Returning students appeared happy to
be back on the Campus. Most of the
student body found its way t o
Como Park that evening to enjoy
games and generous portions of water-melon.
Classes began on Tuesday morning,
September 9. Many instructors found
their classes overcrowded which will

from 10:00 to 12:00 noon and
formally began their classwork on
Wednesday, September 10.
Music Outlook
Bethel's musical life is in for a most
successful year, if a promising crop
of musicians is any standard of mea-surment.
Early auditions for both the
choruses and the band showed that
the incoming freshmen were fairly
well supplied with talent. It now
remains for the leaders of the various
musical organizations to make their

The irrepressible stench of potent
perfume, the formidable feel of vis-cous
objects, these were only two of
the sensations which came to over
200 persons on the evening of Sep-tember

Their piercing shrieks were aud-ible
to scores of witnesses, as one by

New Members
Join Faculty
In connection with the rapidly ex-panding
character of Bethel College,
ten new professors have taken their
places among the faculty. They come
from all over the country and re-present
the best in Christian educat-ors.
Miss Marina Axeen, B. A., is Beth-el's
first full-time librarian. The Eng-lish
and language departments are
now augmented by Mrs. De Laitsh,
B. A., and Miss Violet Bergquist, M.A.,
respectively. Mr. Royal Bloom, M. A.,
is in charge of the psychology and
education departments besides serving
as dii.ector of personnel. The over-burdened
history department will now
be re-enforced by Mr. Reynold Pik,
M. A.; Mr. Samuel Schultz, B. A.,
B. D.; and Mr. Ferdinand Schultz,
M. A. Mr. Samuel Schultz will also
instruct in Bible. To the aid of math-ematics

comes Mr. Quentin Bohne, B. C. E.,

Clarion To Be
Issued Weekly
Here it is, the new 1947-48 Clarion.
Those familiar with previous editions
will readily notice the changes to be
incorporated in this year's edition.
First of all, the paper will be issued
every week except during vacations
instead of the twice monthly schedule
maintained last year. The general
appearance of the paper will also be
brightened as much as possible with
the inclusion of pictures and the
reader interest heightened with more
emphasis on news and sports.
Editor-in-chief Perry Hedberg, has
big plans for the future of the paper.
He hopes to mold it into a more
accurate mirror of student opinion
and an 'accurate source of inform-ation
for all things pertaining to
Bethel. An intensive effort has been
made to promote ' a large outside
circulation. Letters have been sent
out to alumni and pastors and a
special subscription blank for use by
students to subscribe for their parents
and friends is being distributed with
this issue.
There is still room for new report-ers,
typists, or anyone with journal-istic
experience of any kind. Quite a
few volunteers have offered to help
already, but issuing a weekly paper
obviously requires a larger staff than
before. The Clarion office is located
in room 108 and all you have to do
is drop in and state your intentions.
has brought Mr. A. M. Skalbeck, B. A.,
to coach football and help out with
physical education.

New Building
Plans Told
With the singing of the grand old
hymn, "Faith of Our Fathers", led
by Prof. Nels Stjernstrom, the formal
dedication service for the Hagstrom
and Edgren Residences began last
Sunday afternoon at 3:30 in the Col-lege
Chapel. The service was led
by President Wingblade, and the main
speaker for the occasion was Rev.
William Turnwall.
The Bethel Male Quartet consisting
of Robert Sandin, James Rentz, Don
Patet, and Paul Leafblad, sang the
first of their numbers following which
Dr. K. J. Karlson, Dean of the Semi-nary,
led in devotions.
The quartet sang another number,
following which Rev. H. W. Malmsten
told of the new building program to
be inaugurated soon. He stressed the
need for more room in which to live
as well as to work. He said that the
total cost of the two new buildings
was about $325,000 and mentioned
the interesting fact that many of the
rooms were furnished in memory of
loved ones of friends of the Confer-ence.
After another musical selection, Dr.
Burton, chairman of the school board,
made a few remarks and introduced
Rev. William Turnwall. Rev. Turn-wall
mentioned his recent trip to the
Scandinavian lands and gave an in-teresting
summary of Christian edu-cation
as he found it over there. Pre-sident
Strong, of the St. Paul Bible
Institute gave a greeting after which
the service was concluded with a
hymn and the closing prayer by Dr.
Hagstrom, President Emeritus.
Those present then adjourned to
the front of the Hagstrom Residence
for the Dedication. The dedicatory
prayer was offered by Rev. Martin
Erikson and the short service was
ended with the Doxology.
Look Vets!
In the event that you're wondering
when your first subsistence checks
will arrive and how much they will
amount to, the following information
has been gathered at the Veterans
Administration office:
If you were a student here last
year, just sit tight and sooner or
later your check will arrive. Due to
the increase in college enrollment
among veterans, some of us may be
called upon to wait until the first
of November, but have faith that the

tbe jBeginning
In the beginning God! The timely and time-less
truth of this statement cannot be avoided.
Behind the rolling spheres is God, as we are
reminded thirty-five times in the creation
story (Gen. 1-2:3). Only the fool rashly says,
"There is no God."
Coming from the hand of the Creator, we
see the earth stored with coal, iron, and oil;
clothed with grass, trees, and flowers; cleft
with lakes and streams; teeming with animal
life.- - - -the perfect abode of man. For God
was graciously preparing fdr man long before
he was created and granted him dominion over
the earth and all its creatures.
And even when man, created in the image
of God, rebelled against God and sinned, it
was God who sought him, and has made avail-able
for the repentant soul new life through
Christ. In redemption as in creation, "in the
beginning God."
We members of the Bethel family do well
to purpose: "In the beginning God. In my
life, in my plans, in school, in play, in work- - -
in everything He comes first. In the beginning
God! PI

"In the beginning was the Word".
Bethelites, we are beginning a new school
year- - -taking new courses- - -learning new
things. For some of us, college life is a new
experience from which we hope to hew the
foundation stones of Christian service, whether
it be in a business, religious or social field.
For all of us, college life at Bethel may be
rich in spiritual as well as religious content,
if we remember to put the Word of God
first in our daily program.
"In the beginning was the Word"
Tomorrow morning and every morning,
study carefully a few verses from God's Word.
Let those verses ring in your heart all the
day long. Take them with you from class to
class. Renew them as you eat your noon-day
meal. Let them re-echo as you kneel alone
in •Bethel's prayer tower. Seek to find in them
a special message from the Lord. Weave
these verses into your life all through the
day, and at night you will have no desire to
loose your hold on them as you prepare for
sleep. Let it be said of every day you spend at
Bethel this year. "In the beginning was the

one seems to know exactly what it means - - -
something to do with a second cup of coffee;
which reminds me, I haven't had mine yet.
If a school's vitality can be measured by
the activity of its coffee shop, Bethel is on
its way toward being the busiest campus in
the Twin Cities. Freshman are everywhere - - -
some 200 of theia, with the largest freshman
enrollment ever to register here. They cer-tainly
are a peculiar looking bunch with their
beanies, pigtails, and wrongside out clothes.
Football came to Bethel this fall in all its
glory. Watching the fellows work out the
first afternoon of practice sent a thrill down
my spine. Bethel is now participating in
every major college activity- - - -here's to great
success to Coach Skalbeck and his grand
bunch of guys.
No doubt most of you have heard of the
program to build a field house at Bethel.
With football added to the list of activities,
the need for more adequate facilities be-comes
increasingly apparent. Let's get behind
this project students and alumni, and get the
field-house here in a hurry. We're getting
tired of other teams laughing at our "cracker-box"
My coffee's almost gone, but there is one
other thing I'd like to mention. Quite often
we hear Bethel referred to as a little school.
That's not true anymore. There are now plans
underway for a new memorial chapel and ad-ministration
building which will face Snelling
Ave. between the college and seminary build-ings.
This building will be the last of the
Centennial buildings. Our small campus will
then have a total of six large buildings with
a property valuation of about $1,100,000. Truly,

It was quite by chance the other day that
I found a rather odd-shaped package among
my clothes, books, sling shots, etc. It was
wrapped in a yellowed St. Paul Dispatch dated
June 6, 1947 with an abundance of borrowed
string around it. I tore off the wrapper and
the 25 layers of tissue paper and there, to my
amazement, I found an article which I had
forgotten about completely. What do you
think it was? No, it wasn't my giant size
bottle of hair tonic nor was it my Male
Chorus charm which, by the way, I have
never received. It was my dear friend, the
HARP, however, so I tenderly rested it on
my stomach and- touched its strings but, alas
and alack, it was horribly out of tune. I was
at a loss....my harp tuner was in Portland,
Ore. and would not be here until the latter
part of October. In desperation I tightened
the strings myself but I am afraid you, my
dear readers, will sense a few flat notes here
and there as the result of my harp not being
tuned by my expert. As long as the strings
are intact, we shall try to make some kind of
music to grate upon your ears....desirable or
CHIT CHAT....I would like to suggest that
all Freshmen wear name plates for the first
quarter as a convenience for the upper class-men,
especially those Sophmore boys who
have been casting wistful glances at the op-posite
sex in the Freshman class.... Another
disconcerting note should be sounded in re-gard
to the "obstacle course" which Semin-ary
students must run between trailers while

By President Wingblade
Once more a fellowship of faculty and stu-dents
are beginning a year of school work on
Bethel campus. Some of us have seen a good
many generations of students come to Bethel
halls with faces aglow, stay a while, and then
go out to do and dare in the midst of world
Question: What will your coming mean to
this year of Bethel—your roomate, your chum,
your fellow students, to your teachers—to
the atmosphere of the School? "If every stu-dent
were just like me, what kind of school
would Bethel be?"
How true it is that there are just two kinds
of people in the world, and in a school,
namely, the lifter and the leaner. Will you
be the one -who shall buoy up the spirit of
a fellow student with a kind word, a cherrfai
smile, a helpful hand—just when he needs it
Will you by your very presence in a group,
in a classroom, in a meeting just raise the
thermometer of love and faith because you
are there? Will the very light in your count-enance
make it easier for teacher or chapel
speaker to carry on? Will you by your love
for Christ and deep prayer life be a very
fountain of inspiration this year?
As I look back across the years at Bethel
student life, and individuals as they have
been on the campus and then as they have
gone out, I find that this is so largely true—
that students do not change much. When they
get out as pastors or laymen they continue
to be pretty much what they were at Bethel.
I can visualize a score or more of pastors
today and prove that point to my own mind.
How important, then, to begin now to be
what we really want to be ten years or
twenty years from now. May the Lord give
us His sufficiency for it all.
A Beginning ThoughT
As the 1947-48 school year begins, the year
which bridges the gap between Bethel, the
Junior College, and Bethel, the Senior College,
hopes are running high' for great accomplish-ment.
We are encouraged! This thought ling-ers
with us. Christian students have the
greatest advantage of all students. They al-ready
have met with and know TRUTH, the
Lord Jesus Christ, and then engage in their
several educational pursuits with real assur-ance
of a proper interpretation of life.

Signals! Hike? Hit 'em hard! Hit

Though the weatherman denies it,
Fall is almost here, and with it this
year football has put in an appearance
on the Bethel campus. The air is
filled with footballs and gridiron lingo
while many more (or less) rugged
men are making the acquaintance of
good 'ole mother earth. All this act-ivity
is part of the expanding pro-gram
of the Athletic Department de-signed
to keep pace with the ever
progressing development of the school
as a whole.
Though this is the first team to be
put on the field by the College De-partment
since its organization in
1932, football as a sport is not a new
project to the school. In 1908 when
Bethel Academy was in its infancy,
football made its debut under the
direction of Professor Smith. Some
of our alumni should recognize the
names of these first fore-runners of
the 1947 Bethel football team. Burk-man,
RE; Fendall, RG; A. Erickson,
C; J. Anderson, LG; P. Anderson, LT;
Thompson, LE; Segerstrom, QB;
Sundwall, RHB; Smith, LHB; M.
Ericson, B. In this first year two
games were played with the Academy
losing 15 to 5 to a strong St. Anthony
Park team and playing a scoreless tie
with Minnesota College.
From its beginning football at Be-thel
suffered from lack of equipment,
athletic field, and man-power. Occas-ional
bursts of school spirit brought
about revivals of the sport, but until
1916 football did not enjoy a regular
place on the school calendar. Two
members of our present school staff,
Professor A. J. Wingblade and Rev.
W. Malmsten, had a share in guiding
our teams until 1931 when the Acad-emy
was closed.
Today Bethel has the equipment,
manpower, and school spirit neces-sary
to organize a good football team,
and tentative plans have been made
to convert our campus ground be-tween
the college building and the
dormitories into a gridiron. A. Skal-beck,
a man with a great deal of
coaching experience, has been appoint-ed
head of the team. His task of
moulding a good team out of a group
of men who for the most part have
had very little playing experience
is a tremendous one. However, there
are some good men, and with a little
hard work and effort on the part of
all, Bethel can have a good team and
lay the foundation for future Bethel
teams to build upon.

Thursday afternoon, September 4th,
marked the first meeting of the Be-thel
Indians' football squad. Thirty-five
prospective heroes gathered in
the locker room to hear words of
welcome from the coach, Paul Ed-wards,
who substituted for head coach
The football is now being kicked
around, and the basketbill will soon
be taking the bounds which calls for
some fellows and girls to come out
and lead the gang in cheering. Letters
will be given to the cheerleaders on
the first team. There will be four
leaders on the first team with an
alternate team of four. Tryouts will
be held soon with Bob Nelson in
charge. A notice will be posted on the
bulletin board as to the time and
date of tryouts. All girls and fellows
interested in cheerleading begin to
limber up, and watch for the notice.
First Drill Tough Work
With groans and moans and twice
as much sweat, the football team be-gan
practice sessions last Tuesday.
The fellows soon found that their
hard work through the summer had
not resulted in being in top-notch
condition. The fellows started out
great as passing drills took place, but
when the coach had them run a sprint,
all were ready to rest. They got their
rest by doing calisthenics over and
over again. Some of the fellows
couldn't understand why the coach
had them fall on their stomachs when
they hadn't even gotten up yet from
the previous fall, but that's football
for you. At the close of that first
Friday, September 19th, will be
the opening date for this season.
Rochester Junior College will meet
the Indians here at home, and though
our boys will be handicapped by a
short training period, you can expect
a good battle. In a return game with
Rochester, Bethel plays them on their
field October 3rd. A three week lay-orr
will provide our gridders with ail
opportunity to really prepare for the
Homecoming game with Austin, Oct.
24th. This should be the game of the
year! The season will close with a
whirlwind windup playing two games
in four days. On November 7th, Go-gebic
Junior College from Ironwood,
Michigan will be here, and on the
11 Bethel travels to Estherville, Iowa,
for the finale.
Much interest has been shown on
the part of both the boys out for the
team and the student body at our
practice session. We believe that this
interest in football will prevail throu-ghout
the season and that 1947 will
be the beginning of a successful car-eer
for football at Bethel.
practice session about thirty-five
weary fellows trudged off the field in-to
the locker room and gingerly felt
of the bruised and aching muscles.
Many beds were occupied early that
night, -but because of a true love for
football the boys have willingly been
back for more every afternoon.
Arch Skalbeck
Leads Gridders
We take great pleasure in intro-ducing
to the students and friends
of Bethel College, Mr. Arch Skalbeck,
a newcomer to our Athletic Staff.
Coach Skalbeck will take complete
charge of our football activities which
begin this year.
The Coach, who is six-foot three
inches tall, tips the scales at about
two hundred pounds. This huge frame-work
put him in good standing when
he played tackle and end for Gustavus
Adolphus College back in tne twenties.
He is a pleasant and genial gentle-man,
but one who really knows how
to command the respect of all who
play under him.
Graduating from Gustavus Adolphus
in 1927, Mr. Skalbeck has gathered
much experience as coach of foot-ball
and basketball, school teacher,
and high school principal. As coach
he helped direct athletics at Stevens,
Sleepy Eye, and Virginia High Schools
in Northern Minnesota, and at Wash-ington
High in St. Paul. At Sleepy
Eye his football team won the con-ference
championship in 1936, and
at Virginia High the Iron Range
championship for 1938 was captured
by his basketball boys. On September
1st this year, Mr. Skalberg resigned
from his position on the Minnesota
Board of Parole in order to return
to teaching and coaching, in which he
has done so well in these past years.
As this is the first year of football
at our school, Coach Skalbeck isn't
concentrating on a championship, but
he won't be unhappy if the boys do
come through and win for him.

final selections and • get serious re-hearsals
under way.
The situation in the two choruses
is good. The male chorus needs only a
few replacements as the majority of
last year's chorus is returning. There
is still room for a few more good first
tenors, but otherwise the auditions
have taken care of most of the needs
for this year. The girl's chorus is
only 505 strong as compared with
last year, so there is more chance
for aspiring singers to get in. With
the large number of experienced sing-ers
in both choruses, the outlook for
this year is better than ever.
Plans for reviving the concert band
are also under way. Bert Anderson is
again in charge and rehearsals are
scheduled on Tuesday nights. How
soon these rehearsals are to start
depends . on the support and enthus-iasm
of the many players who have
already volunteered to play.
Now that school is again in session,
the patter of large feet can be heard
stumbling over the welcome mat of
the men's dorm. The mat is beginning
to look like a freshman after the
initiation program. The elite, and
not so robust members of the past
years, welcome the new comrades,
trusting that they will make them-selves
at home in every respect.
It has been interesting to note hbw
quiet the dorm was this past week.
Could it be that the freshman were
having trouble getting home after
their little rides into the country.
Hmmmm, who knows? No doubt
they'll be in early and studying this
week. How quiet the dorm will be is
another conjective.
The men's dorm, is looking
forward to a year of wonderful Christ-ian
fellowship and good fun, as well
as serious concentrated study.

was enjoyed by one personality, and
a neat job of hair cutting was proven
on the bangs of two other individuals.
But it's quite apparent that the
Freshman class pulled through it
famously,and they count it a rare pri-vilege
to have become official Bethel-ites.
To the new class of next year
they say only this:
"Just you wait!"
A welcoming committee of Sophs
was established early to administer
the traditional bathtub rites to 12 un-suspecting
Freshies. After the "cer-emony"
they preferred to be bar-ricaded
in one room until 2:30 a.m.
rather than find out what else the
Sophs had in store for them.
However, the new dorm rules will
change all that, stating that lights
must be out by 11:00 p.m. each week-day
night except Friday. First offense
gives warning that any infringment
of this rule calls for a visit with the
Dean of Women.
It just ain't what it used to be.
Eleven-ten p.m. Tuesday night, the
monitors reported everyone in bed
and lights out. Everyone except some
sophs. No excuse, Ouida Mae and
Naomi Nesterud used a new method
of getting acquainted by standing in
the doorway to the dining hall and
welcoming everyone in line. Or did
the Sophmores request it?
The Sophs thought one Freshies
attire was so pretty that she was
asked to model it before the entire
dining hall Monday night. Did you
learn how to model in school, Margie?
It's quite different.
The occupants of the rooms in the
southeast wing would like to know
who was serenading them about 1:00
a.m. Tuesday morning. Anyone having
any information, see Helen Holle.
The loud crash you heard (or should
I say crashes) coming from the dish-washing
room has something to do
with the fact that we are drinking
milk out of cups now, and that band-age
you see on Mary's finger has
something to do with the loud crash.
She'll tell you more about it.

Captain's Report
The Layout
The 31 PC layout really does not offer any surprises, and is much what is expected from a cruiser in this size range. The cockpit features a U-shaped lounger with dual tables. Separate pedestals allow for lowering the tables and adding filler cushions to turn it into a sun pad. To port is a sink and wastebasket with a little counter space to spare. Below was an optional dual voltage refrigerator that had an interesting feature. To negate concerns about soda cans, or other items falling out when the refrigerator door is opened, this unit had a refrigerated drawer, so all items are contained nicely when sliding it out. It's the little details that make a difference.The deck was covered in the optional teak-looking vinyl decking that had the look of teak but none of the maintenance concerns. It's available as an option on the swim platform and/or cockpit sole. All cushions were soft vinyl treated with Prefixx that makes cleaning a snap, and time and again, we've seen how cushions treated with this protectant will come clean even after being written on with a Sharpie. Although we've yet to see this advantage realized in real life, it's nice to know that in the event of a Sharpie emergency, one is covered. Little details…
Below decks, the 31 PC is a showcase of fit-and-finish. The eye immediately takes in the gleaming finish and upon closer inspection one can see the extra work that Formula puts into their interiors. The uppermost drawer has a silverware tray, all joinery is dovetailed, stainless steel hinges are just a bit wider than they need to be and secured every 1 ½ inches… just lots of little details that make it all come together.
The salon table is two-piece cherry wood and finished to such perfection that it could use it as a mirror. Naturally, dual pedestals allow for a lower position for adding filler cushions that convert the area to a berth. Forward is an angled double berth with memory foam mattress. Facing aft, above the mid-berth, and to the left of the stairs is a 22" LCD TV. The mid-berth is a small step down and it's an open configuration making this a nice sitting area rather than a berth alone.
Being that this is first and foremost a boat, a look at the helm is in order. The most noticeable feature that separates Formula from other boats is the dual Livorsi engine controls. These feature separate levers for the shifts and throttles for both engines and they're finished in gleaming stainless steel. They're mounted on an angle which makes them awkward to use when standing up (one will have to lift them rather than push them) but when docking it works nicely. I would put one engine in forward and the other in reverse and then with a hand on top of the throttles, roll one's hand back and forth to gently lift, and therefore add power to the engine of choice.
Personally, I like having separate controls as it just feels more natural to me to be operating this way, but others feel the need to have the engine and shifts in a single pair of controls, and for those folks, I'd say get used to this. It's a fair tradeoff to get the quality of boat that Formula offers, and this is more of a "graduating to" boat than a starter. I guess the same could be said for the whole Formula line but when drifting into digital controls, one gets the "normal" single lever for each engine.
I also like how pretty much everyone is making room in the panel for various sizes of nav display. The stainless steel windshield frame compliments the SS seen all throughout the boat.
We weren't able to find any seas to speak of, but running through varying wake sizes showed a tendency to pound a bit, not unlike any other boat, but as I say, this isn't "any other boat". When at cruising speed, the boat tends to produce a bow oscillation effect that won't go away until the boater takes action with the trim tabs -- touch of "bow up" will cure it, and it will do so without adding a negative effect on visibility due to bowrise. I also found the 31 PC to behave as if she were riding atop a bubble and minor changes in weight distribution (i.e. a heavy cameraman and gear moving from one side to the other) resulted in a noticeable tilt to one side or the other, that again, had to be corrected with the trim tabs, which truth be told, is why they're called trim tabs. This trim-sensitive characteristic is typical in a hull of this size and weight. She has an 18-degree semi-deep-V hull which is a good compromise for this size boat. A deeper V would make her even more weight sensitive than she is. Going with a flatter deadrise would only increase pounding.Turns were crisp and tight with no uncomfortable digging in that causes everything to go flying. A simple roll was all that accompanied the turn and there's no need to hang on for dear life in even the hardest turn. Slowing in seas or when approaching a wake is in order or there will be a pounding that can get uncomfortable, but in no way seemed beyond the structural integrity of the boat. Now slowing down quickly is another thing. If one chops the throttles back and immediately come off plane, the stern will squat. One has pretty much stopped the forward momentum of the boat, but remember they have no control whatsoever over the stern wake which is following. That following wave will wash right over the swim platform and into the aft cockpit deck. That's one reason why one will want to keep the transom door closed, and slow down more gradually, giving the boat time to trim itself to ride over the stern wave when it comes rolling forward. Again, this is a normal characteristic. In our tests runs, the 31 PC hit 46.7 mph powered by twin 375-hp MerCruiser with a Bravo III drive. Unfortunately, our fuel-flow gear decided to pack it in during the speed runs so we will have to re-test for that data and will add it later. Keep an eye out.
All things considered, I found the Formula 31 PC to be a nice compromise of speed, utility and riding comfort. Like so many things about Formula boats, it takes a sophisticated buyer to appreciate a lot of the details that add up to a big difference. For example, there is 6'4" of headroom below, there is a full double bed forward instead of a narrow island berth. On the bridge deck, there is forward seating for three people, something that is often not seen because the port seat is turned into a "lounger" in order to provide headroom below. That means whoever is sitting there is riding side-saddle, which is awkward under way. While the basic layout of the Formula 31 PC is typical of boats in this class, the real differences lie in the fit-and-finish and details. There is also Formula's 5-year "Formula Guard" warranty protection plan which is one of the most comprehensive in the industry.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Formula 31 PC (2014-) is 46.8 mph (75.3 kph), burning gallons per hour (gph) or N/A liters per hour (lph).

Thanks for the preview showing of Wolverine! Louis mentioned that there are multiple endings after the credits. We go one of the old knacklehead in a bar.
But apparently...SPOILER ALERT..
I hear there is an alternate ending where Deadpool lives, gets his mouth back and implies he gets his own spinoff. Now, all this sounds too good to be true, considering the horrible, cringe-worthy mess they made of his character. Then the rumour mill tells me Ryan Reynolds is keen for the Deadpool film to be a musical. Go figure.
Also, was I the only one to think Stryker was an endless exposition machine? Even when the exposition made no sense in the context of the conversation?

It was quite the jolt to those who witnessed it — medical officials and police converging upon Middlebury College campus last Thursday morning, rushing into one of the dorms.
Was someone badly hurt, or worse? Was it perhaps a case of excessive partying coming home to roost for a student? Were there any public safety or health concerns for people inside or outside of the dorm? Was it safe to go inside the dorm?

BRANDON — It was a heady week for The Brandon Reporter as the staff of three made their way to the Statehouse in Montpelier for a special and humbling occasion.
State Reps. Butch Shaw of Pittsford and Steve Carr of Brandon sponsored House Concurrent Resolution 309, which recognized The Reporter's winning five editorial and three advertising awards in the annual New England Newspaper and Press Association Better Newspaper Contest, which were presented in February.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College alumna turned Emmy- and Peabody-award-winning journalist Sarah Kramer returned to her alma mater Oct. 11 to talk about new channels for storytelling, eccentric interview subjects and her job as the multimedia producer for The New York Times.
Her talk, called "Personal Narrative in the Digital Age," was the first this year in the college's Meet the Press series. It drew from Kramer's 15 years as a multimedia journalist.
Interested in journalism and the future of news? How about international watchdog groups or web publishing?
If any of those topics tickle your fancy, you might consider dropping by Middlebury College's Bicentennial Hall tonight for the Meet the Press lecture series, where seasoned editor, author and columnist Jacob Weisberg will discuss how newspapers fit or don't fit into government.

From SMART Boards to tablets, technology has significantly transformed the way students learn. One of the latest trends, gamification, is the use of game design and mechanics to enhance learning. Research has shown that children are more likely to become engaged when gaming elements are incorporated into lessons.
According to research from Deakin University, incorporating games into curriculum dramatically alters students' attitudes toward math. By turning math lessons into games, students apply more energy and motivation and, as a result, are more successful. By adding technology into the mix, motivation increases. As the founder of TechMamas.com found out, the creativity and ease of gaming programs on mobile devices makes homework assignments more enjoyable for students.
Gamification options are diverse and increasing. Some classrooms assign digital badges in an online learning application to give students a sense of accomplishment. Others find that swapping out formal letter grades for a point system allows students to view class as an exciting challenge. Resources like SimCityEDU teach STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) in a virtual environment, challenging students to think critically. And, Minecraft lets users build structures with blocks, providing a creative model for physics lessons. The MapMaster app tests a student's knowledge of geography while competing with friends.
Equipping classrooms and students with the right technology is the starting point for this kind of engagement. Innovative mobile technology such as Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network, combined with tablets and a wide array of apps enable educational gaming in an easy-to-transport fashion, so engagement continues outside of the classroom.

My name is Matthew Zachary and I am 28 years old. When I was 21, I was diagnosed with an extremely rare pediatric brain tumor (medulloblastoma). I have since beaten the odds, surviving surgery, aggressive radiation and a seven-year recovery.
In the Beginning
I started playing piano when I was 11 and professionally by age 16. Music had become the very fabric of my soul. I attended college at Binghamton University in the fall of 1992 as a Mechanical Engineering major. Needless to say, after three weeks of a 7:00am organic chemistry class, I promptly switched to Music. It all started in the summer of 1995. I had just turned 21, completed my junior year of college and took a temp job as a computer tech for Dean Witter on the 68th floor of Tower One of the World Trade Center in New York City. At first I thought the onset of strange headaches was brought about by the large periods of time I spent while working at such magnificent altitude. I had experienced headaches before, migraines to be specific, but these felt different. I wasn't sure how – they just were. The summer ended and I returned to school. In addition to these horribly strange headaches, the primary symptom I began to experience was the loss of motor coordination in my left hand, my dominant hand. This affected my ability to play piano, to write and to type. As a college Senior majoring in music, this was not a good thing.
Robitussin – for a brain tumor?
Symptoms degenerated to the point where I began to collapse at random, slur my speech and experience headaches worthy of the Nobel Prize for pain. Doctors on campus gave me Robitussin (for my brain tumor). It didn't help. I wonder why. I returned home after Fall semester only to meet with a Neurologist who promptly referred me for an MRI. They found a large mass – the size of a golf ball – growing in my cerebellum. My question wasn't "Am I going to live?" It was "Am I going to play the piano again?". My caregivers did not know if these degenerative symptoms would disappear after surgery. I was told that I would be lucky to walk, let alone play, after the procedure – if it was successful at all. (Which it was, obviously.) Indeed, I did have to re-learn how to walk, eat, drink, swallow and speak after my surgery. Those all came back within 6 months to 1 year. However, the day I returned home from surgery, I sat down at my piano to see if I could play. The defining moment of my life had come upon me…I could play. But (there's always a "but") it wasn't all glamour and glitz. Since my left hand hadn't "worked" properly for 6 months prior to diagnosis, 10 years of piano training had essentially been wiped out. Motivated yet disenfranchised, I began the slow and arduous process of retraining my left hand. This took five years.
It's All Up to Me
Due to the nature of my tumor, the leading oncology physicians in the NYC-Metro area could not agree on a conclusive prognosis nor recommended post-operative treatment protocol. This did not make things any easier. After much soul searching, personal and professional researching and several consultations, second, third and fourth opinions, the decision on my treatment ultimately came down to me. I decided on 33 treatments of high-dose (5940cg) craniospinal (head, neck and spine) radiation treatments and NO chemotherapy. While my CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) and bone marrow were clean and did not indicate even the slightest hint of metastasis, the choice to do craniospinal was more palliative than anything else. I experienced several very severe side effects from treatment. If you can name it, I probably had it. My quality of life fell into the toilet, literally and figuratively. My newfound ability to play piano again was instantly compromised. All I wanted to do was play but all my body wanted to do was sleep. It was agonizing torture – a quality of life I would not wish on my worst enemy. I was sleeping more than 20 hours per day. During the remaining 4 hours I was either en route to the hospital, getting treatment, getting medical exams, going home from the hospital, regurgitating uncontrollably or trying to down some broth. I had lost the ability to eat solid food. Recovering from this plagued me for over 3 years. Even today, I suffer long term side effects involving a swallow disorder and saliva deficiency. Due to this extreme fatigue from post-operative treatment (what I like to refer to as "the really fun times"), I was disempowered and needed to look deep within myself for a way to manage these life-altering circumstances. I made the decision not to let cancer destroy my art. I forced myself to sit down at that piano and play every single day – even for just 10 minutes. Couple that with the fact that I was also retraining my left hand from scratch, and you have a bird with wings too small to fly.
Since neither my mind nor my body were in the right place to create, compose, and express, my only recourse was to "scribble" down my ideas (motives, themes, melodies) on staff paper for the next time, not actually knowing if there would be a next time. My identity – who I was – had been stripped away from me. The only way I could identify with myself was by my ability to create and by how much "scribbling" I did that day. Music was my inspiration, my stability, my hope, and the only gauge for my quality of life during those intensely debilitating days of torture. Those "scribblings" were my solace, my inner peace, and my miracle. Graduation This was surprisingly empowering. I was able to channel whatever energies I had at the time toward my creativity. Indeed I did play piano every day during treatment, all the while composing many of the songs that wound up on the "Scribblings" album. Being able to compose music gave me an identity and a purpose — which continues to this day. It gave me the strength to keep going and helped save my quality of life. I have since discovered the power of music for others as well. I was diagnosed in between the Fall 1995 and Winter 1996 semesters of my Senior year at college. My surgery and treatments prevented me from returning to school to complete my final semester – at least that's what everyone thought. Against all advice, I actually did go back to college in April while receiving treatment and graduated on time with honors with a degree combining music, musical theater, sociology and computer science.
Now What?
Treatments ended. College was over. I now had the unanticipated task of living out the rest of my life. It took me 2-3 years to fully recover physically, emotionally, and psychosocially. I began a career as a computer tech at an ad agency in Manhattan. I then started up a computer-consulting agency and began to build an extensive client base. I was still playing piano but the "day job" was getting in the way. I needed something… Scribblings Album Cover My intention in producing "Scribblings" in 1999 was twofold – I wanted to legitimize my identity as a musician with a commercial record album, and I wanted to be able to offer it as tangible hope to the cancer survivors and hospital workers with whom I had build friendships. The rest is history. By late 2000, my left hand had returned to a skill level that I was comfortable with. I was then ready to take my music to the next level and produce "Every Step of the Way", which features a very different texture of writing. With my left hand back, my intention was to showcase it through these new compositions, many of which were directly influenced from the unused "scribblings" from 1996. In June of 2001, I quit my career to pursue my dream – and have not looked back yet. I have decided to dedicate my life to the pursuit of patient empowerment, cancer advocacy, physician/patient relationships and music as a spiritually motivating conduit for health and well being. I founded Matthew Zachary Music to be a vehicle by which I could fulfill that vision. Matt at piano Matt and Jessica These pictures were taken in Oct. 2002, at "Journeys, the 1st. Annual Celebration of Living", benefiting Melissa's Living Legacy Foundation and teens living with cancer. That's Jessica on the right. See – we brain tumor folks look pretty normal! I wish to help educate and inspire people who face adversity in their lives. The music I compose stems from my experiences both surviving and recovering from my illness. It is my hope that it can touch the lives of those who may be seeking comfort and hope as they face their life's challenges. I believe in the innate healing power of music for it truly helped me heal mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Everything that has happened to me, whether I liked it or not, became a part of my life; and I chose to live my life and to be the absolute best I could be every step of the way. My music is dedicated to the thousands of people less fortunate than myself who continue to fight for survival while keeping hope alive in both mind, body & spirit, never abandoning their faith. One must maintain a strong spirit, no matter how difficult. With some visceral determination and little bit of hope, you will find that you can surprise yourself when you least expect it. Miracles do happen. My being here is one of them.

Food culture is a way of life in Europe, and the region's multi-cultural diversity is a food lover's playground offering the best of old and new world shopping options for fresh foods. Variety and supply levels are inconsistent across the continent, however, given the range of climates and proximities to food sources, so consumer spending habits for fresh foods vary as well. Consumers in Italy and Spain spend the most on fresh foods, an average of 50 percent of their spending contributions, while consumers in Norway spend the least at 33 percent, according to new findings from the Nielsen Global Fresh Foods report, based on a survey of more than 29,000 respondents with Internet access from 58 countries.
The supermarket channel reigns supreme among online respondents in Europe, as 42 percent shop this outlet for meat, fish and produce. Good value, fresh products and the human connection make specialty retailers, such as the butcher for meats and poultry, the fish shop for seafood, the wet/open market for fruits and vegetables, and the bakery for breads, important destinations throughout Europe.
"Fresh products are integral to the success of the retailer, and razor-sharp expertise on shopper expectations is the key to unlocking the potential," said Jean-Jacques Vandenheede, director, Retailer Industry Insights, Nielsen Belgium. "It is of paramount importance to map shopper expectancy clusters, eating habits and supply patterns of fresh products. Finding this balance is a task for merchant expertise. Consumers purchase fresh products with their eyes and as such, the display and presentation is of utmost importance. After selection and presentation comes the ultimate judge: the price. Those who find harmony in this maze will be rewarded with purchases and loyalty."
"Improve the level of servicing in fresh store departments with a staff cross-trained in multiple areas from the deli counter, to the bakery to the produce department," said Vandenheede. "Customers will appreciate the extra attention and the faster service."
Other notable findings include:

Well I have finally figured out how to create a page for my blog on Google+! Just click the g+ picture below to go to my page. It's a little empty at the moment but that will change soon.
Now I'm not too familiar with it myself, however, it's meant to be pretty good. So my goal over the next few months is to learn how to use it properly. So why don't you add MarkThinks.net to your circles and let's get social 🙂

I have played guitar as a hobby on-and-off for 18 years now. I am not an accomplished player. I took lessons when I started out. I have bought books, and early-on I learned a lot from Fretboard Logic (the CAGED system). I have always enjoyed improvising while my friend plays a progression, and I can get by ok with that.
A few years ago I took sporadic lessons from a well trained guitarist. My goals were very broad and unclear at the time.
- Just get better
- Solo and know the fretboard like the jazz guys
- Play cool - David Gilmour, Eagles
- Classical guitar might be nice
My teacher taught me some jazz stuff, but my interest waned, so my lessons trailed off. Pink Floyd was one of my favorite bands growing up, so I began spending more time transcribing to TAB and learning David Gilmour solos. I had some fun, and my phrasing got better though now all my solos sound like a Gilmour wannabe.
I have put the guitar down for a year or so, but now I'm getting the hankering to start playing again. I called my old teacher, but he didn't call me back. That's ok with me. I'm clearly not the ideal student. Since it's just a hobby, and I want to prove to myself that I can be disciplined, I'm thinking that I will try to learn from books. I've spent a good deal of time looking at guitar books at amazon.com. I purchased a couple:
I'm thinking that I want to continue to go the jazz route, and Beginning Jazz Guitar looks good for that, but I'm thinking I'll wait till I finish "Modern Method" before I start Beginning Jazz Guitar.
Because I'm 35, have a job and 2 kids, my practice time is limited. I've started with "Modern Method", and I'm hoping to continue to practice app. 20 min a day, and maybe an hour or so on Saturday.
Here are my questions:
- From what you see from my history, could you recommend any books or approaches?
- Any other tips and advice?
Update: Thanks for your responses so far. Since I posted this question, considered your responses and done some reading, I'm feeling that I have some more concrete questions. Perhaps I will post those on this site later. I read some of justinguitar.com under the "Practice Time" section that has been of help too.

One Founder's Recommended Reading List
Prof. Alison L. LaCroix's article at Common-Place on "The Founders' Fiction" describes a University of Chicago Law School experiment in understanding the U.S. of A.'s constitutional basis better by reading what founders read for pleasure. She writes:
To guide us in the process, and to ensure that the books we chose were ones that the founders had read, we turned to a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to his prospective brother-in-law, Robert Skipwith, in August 1771. Skipwith had asked Jefferson to provide a list of books that would be the basis of his library. . . . [Jefferson] exceeded Skipwith's proposed budget of "about five and twenty pounds sterling, or if you think proper…thirty pounds" by some seventy pounds. . . .Yep, that was usually how Jefferson managed his finances.
Of course, Jefferson wasn't involved in writing the Constitution, nor typical of his generation in many ways. But never mind that—the light is better in his library.
Most striking to modern eyes is the prominence of fiction on the list. More than a third of the books listed under "Fine Arts" are works of fiction. All are by European authors. They include classics that are still read today, such as Cervantes's Don Quixote, Henry Fielding's Tom Jones, and Chaucer's Canturbury Tales, as well as less familiar works more likely to be found on the syllabus of a course on eighteenth-century English literature than on the shelf at Barnes and Noble, such as Tobias Smollett's Peregrine Pickle and Frances Sheridan's Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph. . . .I've read those four, and occasionally take a bite of Peregrine Pickle. And now I've found webpages devoted to Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph and Solyman and Almena to keep myself busy.
Jefferson's list made the case that a gentleman's library ought to include literary fiction. "[T]he entertainments of fiction are useful as well as pleasant," Jefferson wrote to Skipwith. "[E]verything is useful which contributes to fix in the principles and practices of virtue."
Suppressing the temptation to assign one of the list's more obscure novels (would the students really be able to track down copies of John Langhorne's Solyman & Almena: An Oriental Tale?), Jake and I chose four works from among Jefferson's recommendations: Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy; Oliver Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield; and the sensational duo of 1740s literary London, Samuel Richardson's Pamela and its parody Shamela, by Henry Fielding.

I had a thought that whenever people join our little exchange system, perhaps they could get a personalized signature pic of that ECM thing, where the East Coast part would be replaced with whatever region of the country they're from.
Like East Coasters get "East Coast", those of us along the SEC belt from Texas to Florida could get "Gulf Coast", the Pacific folks could get "West Coast", everyone from the midwest and whatnot get "Midwest", Canadians get "Canadian", Mexicans get "Mexican Mafia" (fittingly )... and etc.
Just imagine... a CGen Mafia spanning the globe! O_O Only a matter of time before there's a "Don of the Falkland Islands Mafia"... -_^
I think it'd be a nice little incentive for forumgoing members.

Motorola is apparently hard at work on another high-end handset known as the DROID HD - and boy, is it a good-looking piece of kit. Just take a look:
Left to right: DROID BIONIC, DROID HD
The DROID HD appears to be what the DROID X2 should have been - namely, much better in every respect. While it may have a qHD display (not confirmed - just presumed), in almost every other conceivable way, the HD looks like the Moto handset to have.Read More

So basically you're saying that the vast majority of those guns in that clip are perfectly legal? Forgive me, I'm from Britain, the land of disarmed peasants, hence I know nothing about guns.
here soonhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6eaAoZXPJI
Are California's gun laws any different from the other 49 states?
Basically, yeah. You can turn some semi-auto assault rifles into full-auto by filing down the sear in the trigger mechanism, but you won't be able to fire many rounds before it irreversibly damages the firearm.
Doesn't matter what they do about guns, criminals will still have plenty of them.
LAPD Implies Owning Guns Is Illegal A CBS News clip out of California that was prominently featured on the front page of Yahoo.com today showed the LAPD melting down 40,000lbs worth of illegal weapons to prevent them ending up on the streets in the hands of criminals and yet most of the guns shown were perfectly legal and were handed in by law-abiding citizens who had kept them in their own homes.http://www.prisonplanet.com/lapd-implies-owning-guns-is-illegal.html
40,000 POUNDS OF FIREARMS!!! DEAR GOD!!! Are SO MANY PEOPLE this IGNORANT???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! Well these idiots better pray that their "caring" government doesn't succeed in giving them a "caring" treatment in some camps with some "caring" vaccinations to "protect" against "bio attacks". Just mind blowing......
What's even more mind blowing is the fact that it is the 2nd AMENDMENT of the constitution...THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. IT IS MINDBLOWING to see so many SCHMUCKS falling for the pitch the LAPD gives. With this type of attitude THIS MAGNITUDE OF PEOPLE, I don't it will be difficult for them to implement marshal law. However there will be a few "rogue and savage criminals" that must be put down in order to make the society "safe".If the age group was above 30, then it is EVEN MORE MINDBLOWING. Because at that age group, EVERYONE was taught the basic amendments back in grade school.
But I do wonder, what would be an average weight of a gun such as an M-16, or hunting rifle? and what of a pistol?
It has been a while but I think the m16-a2 is 7.5 lbs unloaded.
How is Swarzennegger not a Nazi?How is California not a test by Rothschild/Buffett for the rest of the country?

Most children love to run, jump, climb and play games. Outdoor activities give kids the opportunity to use up some of their energy, develop coordination, and build strength and confidence. Unfortunately, computers, video games and television, are taking up more and more of children's leisure time. As our kids spend more time inside involved in sedentary activities, they are at higher risk for becoming overweight, feeling tired or lazy, and losing muscle tone.
How much exercise does my child need?
It is recommended that children get at least 60 minutes of exercise every day. It does not have to be done all at once. Short 10 to 15 minute spurts of activity works well too. If your child is not used to exercising very much, have him or her work up gradually to this level of activity.
How can I help my child get more exercise?
What if my child doesn't like team sports?
For children that don't want to participate in organized sports or classes, finding ways to get them moving can be more of a challenge. However, there are some forms of exercise that can be done alone or with the family. Your child may enjoy:
Do some activities as a family. If there is time in the evenings, you can go out for a walk. Smaller children enjoy riding or skating alongside their parents as they walk or jog. You could also go out after dinner and play a game of catch, jump rope or hopscotch. Kids are often more willing and excited to exercise when mom, dad or older siblings are doing it with them. Try to plan weekends where the whole family participates in doing something active.
Active chores can also get kids moving, such as
For those children, that are very resistant to outdoor exercise, consider exercise videotapes developed just for kids. There is a wide selection of these tapes and your child may prefer this type of activity.

I was skeptical as to what to expect but from the first meeting, I was so glad I had made the decision to attend. The results were life changing. I now have a sense of peace that I've never experienced through a greater understanding of myself and my relationships. I feel free, wow! - M.J.
