Fashion blogger Lisa Fiege and Jochen Schneider from "The L Fashion" flew to New York with the SP 35mm f/1.8 – and couldn't believe all the superlatives in the Big Apple.
Pictures of the night sky seem to hold great allure for us. Perhaps that's because it's becoming harder and harder for many people to get a clear look at the stars in a time of increasing light pollution. When I upload a night-sky photo on social media, I always get a disproportional response. People often ask how the picture came to be.
Natalie Große specialises in pet portraits. Many of her fabulous photos are taken with the Tamron SP 70-200 f/2.8 DI VC USD.
Tamron redefines the fast telephoto zoom category with the introduction of the next-generation 70-200mm F/2.8 zoom. All-new optical design delivers a dramatically faster autofocus speed and image stabilization performance of 5 stops.
Tamron introduces ultra-wide-angle zoom with Vibration Compensation. Compact, high-performance lens boasts the largest focal length range in its class of stabilized APS-C ultra-wide-angle lenses.

The Saints are used to seeing tight end Jimmy Graham make plays.
But they're used to seeing his athleticism at work catching passes and running with them.
Graham recovered a Marques Colston fumble Sunday, which set up the game-winning field goal against the Cowboys in overtime.
But that doesn't begin to tell the whole story.
Just two plays before Graham's hustle play, he left the field with a dislocated right ring finger, which was put back into place. Along with a wrist injury, and with no promise of playoffs on the line, it would have been easy for Graham to stay with the trainers.
"That's why we hustle! That's what we do!" tight end David Thomas shouted at Graham as they left the field, via Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "You did this! You got this win for us!"
The win moved them to 7-8, but showed a level of heart that was only occasionally evident this season.
"I didn't think about the finger," Graham said. "It felt like a loose ball on the basketball court, and I had to dive in and get it. I've been diving on hardwood since I was a little kid. . . .
"That's just what this team does. We've got a lot of resolve. We've been through so much. We all give all we have."
That's a good sign for the future, assuming they get a deal done with coach Sean Payton and can build on the bits of evidence they've shown this year.

I've been making 8--inch squares using scraps -I've made 54 of them so far.
The question I have is: When I start to do something scrappy, there are a lot of scraps in the wastebasket and a few squares are done. But why is there such a big pile of scraps still on the table? It seems like I didn't even make a tiny dent in the pile.

Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes
Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes is in Cienfuegos, Villa Clara, and Sancti Spiritus provinces of Cuba.
Che's rebels hid in the Escambray mountains during the revolution. After the revolution (1961-1969) CIA-sponsored counter-revolutionaries (bandidos) hid in the same mountains. The Museo de la Lucha Contra Los Bandidos, a museum in Trinidad, documents the latter fight.
The national park has jungle-covered limestone mountains with waterfalls and caves.
The highest mountain is Pico de San Juan, at 1150 meters (3773 feet). You can't hike to the summit, as the mountain is in a military zone.
Flora and fauna
Get in
Get around
The main road starts at a junction four kilometers west of Trinidad. The road to Topos de Collantes is about fifteen kilometers and is amazingly steep. It is paved well (by Cuban standards).
The road from Cienfuegos through La Sierrita to San Blas is good, and quite scenic. Near San Blas is a cliff with stalactites. Somewhere between San Blas and Buenos Aires, near the village of Matagua, the pavement ends. Locals say the road is impassable after this, unless you have a Jeep. This road goes to Topos de Collantes, and has a turnoff that goes to El Nicho. This road goes through the highest mountains and might be a good mountain bike ride. Be aware that much of the area is military zone, so don't go hiking off the road, or take too many pictures.
The national park has six tourist areas.
Parque Guanayara
According to the map, this site includes "canyoning cascades," as well as the Cascada El Rocío waterfall, swimming, hiking trails, camping, and a restaurant.
Parque El Nicho
El Nicho is a beautiful series of waterfalls and clear blue pools. The drive from Cienfuegos is one to two hours each way. The road is good to Crucecitas, and after that it's OK if you drive slowly. There's a bus from Cienfuegos. El Nicho can be popular, especially in the summer. Don't expect solitude. The entrance fee is 5 CUC. You can hike along the creek above the waterfalls. Horseback riding is also offered. A restaurant serves meals.
Parque Altiplano
This is the most developed tourist site. The only hotels are here (including the huge Kurhotel Escambray). There's the Museo de Arte Cubano Contemparano ("Museum of Contemporary Cuban Art"); the Casa de Café, featuring locally grown coffees; and the "Mi Retiro" restaurant.
The 7-kilometer (roundtrip) hike to the 75-meter Salto de Caburní ("Caburní Falls") is well worth the effort (6.50 CUC fee at the gate). You can swim in the large pool below the falls. The trail starts east of the Kurhotel.
Another good hike is the Sendero La Batata, which is about six kilometers (roundtrip) to a cave with an underground creek. You can swim in the cave. Bring sandals for climbing around in the cave, unless the soles of your feet are tough! The trail starts at the Casa de Café. The fee is 3.50 CUC.
Other features include the Jardin de Gigantes ("Giants Garden") and a short hike to Salto Vega Grande ("Vega Grande Falls').
Parque Codina
This is near the Parque Altiplano. A restaurant serves tour groups. There are hiking trails to waterfalls, caves, and viewpoints. Birdwatching and camping are also listed on the map.
Parque El Cubano
This site is the closest to Trinidad. According to the map, this site has a waterfall, swimming, camping, birdwatching, horseback riding, and a restaurant. A trail goes to the Mirador de Caribe, which is on the road to Topos de Collantes.
Embalse Hanabanilla
This reservoir is on the north side of the national park. At El Salto de Hanabanilla ("Hanabanilla Falls") there is a hotel with hiking, horseback riding, boating, and fishing. The nearest town is Manicaragua.
The Museo de Arte Cubano Contemparano ("Museum of Contemporary Cuban Art") is near the Kurhotel Escambray.
The Casa de Café, south of the Kurhotel Escambray, serves a variety of locally grown coffees.
The huge Kurhotel was built in 1936 and has 210 rooms and 16 suites. A spa, it also has a restaurant, five gyms, a cabaret, and a thermal swimming pool with massage and therapeutic services available.
The two other hotels are the Villa Caburní and the Hotel Los Helechos.
All three hotels are tourist-only (no Cubans allowed). There are no casas particulares and nowhere for Cubans to stay.

Bethel Junior College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. NOVEMBER 9, 1945
Harold Carlson Opens New
Church on Bethel Campus
Spire, Clarion, Get Start;
Anderson, Sandin Editors
Staffs Chosen:
Work Resumed
First Service Held Sunday
New Church to Be Built
On Sunday morning, November
4, many Bethel students and resi-dents
of the community, gathered
in the chapel of Bethel Seminary
for Sunday school and a morning
worship service. This was the first
such service held on the Bethel
For some time many halie felt
the need for a Baptist church in
the area north of the school. In
the spring of 1944 several met to-gether
for prayer regarding such
a work. The first prayer meeting,
under the direction of Edward Nel-son,
was held at the home of Prof.
and Mrs. R. Omark and many oth-ers
Rev. Al Bergfalk, worker for the
state conference, was approached
regarding this new work, and he
in turn presented the idea to a
state executive board meeting. A
move was made to interest some
church to be responsible for the
new field of service. Central
Church agreed to cooperate with
the conference and a joint com-mittee
was set up.
First of all it was decided to
have a Daily Vacation Bible school
to reach the children of the neigh-borhood.
Rev. Bergfalk, together
with Bethel summer school stud-ents
and workers from Central,
canvassed the neighborhood a n d
the school opened in the seminary
on August 6 with an enrollment of
approximately 65. At the close of
the school an invitation was given
to those children who did not at-tend
any Sunday school to come
back on Sunday morning. Some
of them did, and ever since a Sun-day
school has been conducted for
the boys and girls.
After much prayer the way has
opened to conduct a Sunday school
for adults as well, and also to hold
a church worship service. Approx-imately
750 letters of invitation
were sent out two weeks ago to
homes that were reached in the
community canvass last August,
and on Sunday, November 4, 135
people met in the seminary chapel.
This location is only temporary
and it is planned to build a church
in Falcon Heights as soon as pos-sible.
Bergfalk Speaks
In Sem Tonight
At the chapel service on Friday,
November 2, Irwin Bjelland, treas-urer
of the Missionary Band, pre-sented
the- financial goal of the
organization. It is planned to raise
$1,000 this year for the support of
missions. Five hundred dollars will
be sent to the school in Jorhat,
Assam, and $500 will be used to
purchase moving picture equip-ment
for the missionaries who are
about to be sent out by our con-ference
board. A box and a pledge
book have been placed at the rear
of the chapel for the contribu-tions
and tithes of the students
and faculty.
Tonight at eight o'clock the first
of a series of study groups will
meet in the seminary building,
with Rev. Al Bergfalk as speaker.
Those who are especially interest-ed
in missions are invited to at-tend
these meetings, at which ma-ny
problems of foreign service will
be discussed.
The next regular meeting of the
Missionary Band is scheduled for
next Wednesday, November 14. A
gospel team made up of young
people from Missionary Bands in
various parts of the Twin Cities
will have charge of the service.
Carlson Lectures
To Debate Squad
Bethel has this year revived the
Forensic Society of former years
under the leadership of Miss La
Vone Berthel. At present there are
about fifteen participants, several
of whom are showing much ability
in public speaking.
The society will study debate,
oratory, discussion, and extempo-raneous
speaking. For several
weeks debate has been emphasized
with the group doing research on
this topic : "Resolved : That the
foreign policy of the United States
should be directed toward the es-tablishment
of free trade among
the nations of the world." C. E.
Carlson lectured to the group on
this subject on Tuesday, Novem-ber
6, and Curtis B. Akenson and
Dr. K. J. Karlson are scheduled
for future talks.
It Is planned to present several
debates here at Bethel, to send
teams to nearby colleges, and pos-sibly
to make a debating trip to

Open House
Held In Dorm
The new wing of the girl's dor-mitory
was dedicated at a service
held in the reception room of the
old section on Sunday, November
4, at 3:30 P. M. Open house was
observed in the dorm as friends
of Bethel from all over the Twin
Cities area examined the rooms
and halls of the new addition.
Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, president
emeritus of the school, Dr. Carl
G. Burton, president of the school
board, Mrs. Adolf Olson, president
of the Bethel Women's Federation,
Mr. H. Wyman Malmsten, and Rev.
Martin Erikson brought brief ad-dresses
at the service. Musical
numbers were rendered by Mr.
Gust Lundberg, Mr. Nels Stjern-strom,
and Misses Marion Lund
and Marion Johnson.
Fifty-two girls, who had been
making the best of makeshift ac-comodations
f or more than a
month, are now living in compara-tive
luxury in the new addition,
which in itself is as large as the
old building. Both sections now
have rooms for 99 students.
Brightest spot of the new wing
is the dining hall, which covers
the entire basement floor a n d
which has facilities for about 300
diners. Other special features are
a small lounge, a candy kitchen,
and a miniature chapel, all on the
second floor.
Definite figures as to the cost
of the new addition are not avail-able,
but it is estimated that the
expense will be about $65,000.
Peterson Leads
New Bethel Band
The newly organized Bethel
Band under the direction of one of
the students, Wayne Peterson, con-sists
of twenty members. Cor4et-ists
are Gust Lundberg, Sam Et-chings,
Dorothy Dahlman, Arlene
Nelson, Joyce Dubuque, Al Brown,
and Bud Siegel. The clarinet sec-tion
includes Evelyn Gates, Janet
Walker, Helen Holle, Helen Voight
and Director Peterson. Rounding
out the band are Deloris Erickson
and Dorothy Nelson (trombones),
Gloria Isaacson (saxophone), Ruth
Rask (mellaphone), Earl Lands-berg,(
baritone), Al Gustafson (bass
horn), Becky Iosty (snare drum)
and Myrtle Krueger (bass drum).
At last the staffs of the school's
two publications, the Clarion and
the Spire have been chosen and
work is now going forward nor-mally.
Nominations were made by
the student council, and were ap-proved
by the student body on
Wednesday, October 24.
Jim Anderson was chosen to edit
the annual, with Pauline Widen as
assistant editor and Don Patet as
business manager. The staff im-mediately
began working to pro-cure
advertisements and subscrip-tions
for the book. Arrangements
for photography are also being
made. Two students were appoint-ed
to make candid shots on the
campus, and group pictures will be
taken by a professional photogra-pher.
Bob Sandin was appointed edit-or
of the Clarion and he is aided
by Nettie Castle as assistant editor
and Jacqueline Lundquist as busi-ness
manager. Arrangements were
made with the Anderson Press in
Minneapolis to print the newspap-er,
and the first assignments were
made on October 29.
With an enlarged student body,
and an accelerated program in the
school, much is expected of this
year's publications.
"Treat Him" Night

The man-hunting season at Beth-el
Junior College opened as a re-sult
of plans made at the Girl's
Dormitory meeting for a Miss
Bethel "Treat Him" evening. It is
the privilege of the girls to hunt
up a date for the evening of Nov-ember.
16. The highlight of this
evening will be a party to be held
in the dormitory dining hall at
7:45 P. M. The girls must escort
their dates to the party, treat them
and escort them home. Yes, it
will be very interesting!
Jackie Lundquist and Doris
Johnson were chosen co-chairmen
to be in charge of the general ar-rangements,
The other committee
chairmen are as follows: program,
Mabel Anderson ; decoration, De-loris
Erickson; refreshments, Vir-ginia
Petersen; and clean-up, Iona

Does Bethel need a demerit plan? That is one of the questions
engaging the minds of responsible student and faculty groups on the
campus. In discussions on the subject two viewpoints have been ex-pressed,
but in some cases even these contrasting opinions have been
voiced by the same person. At least the topic seems to merit careful
While as yet no detailed plan has been completed, a system of
this nature would presumably involve defining certain actions as worthy
of demerits, which would be recorded in a central file. Included in the
list could be lack of regularity and punctuality in classroom attendance,
habitual disregard of reasonable standards of behavior in the dining
hall, habitual boisterousness in the dormitories, defacing or injury of
school property, and others as defined by the group. Specified indivia-uals
and groups would of necessity have to be empowered with the
authority to assign demerits. Counsellors and administrators would
have to assume responsibility for follow-up work aimed at the correc-tion
of the item involved.
The spiritual foundations of a group, as in an individual's life,
work themselves out into a behavior pattern. In order to consider either
the individual life or the group to be truly Christian the spiritual pro-fession
and the social behavior must harmoniously represent Christ.
The problem is how to best attain this goal.
That a measure of careless, inconsiderate, and, at times, rude be-havior
is present on the campus seems to be recognized by the great
majority of the school group. No doubt, the unsocial ways of the few
would be ascribed on first thought to lack of maturity, of background,
or of consecration. This interpretation, however, leaves unexplained
the behavior of some of the students who have been on the campus for
some years and have progressed to advanced stages in their studies :
Could it be that we have too much freedom? Perhaps a demerit plan
would be of assistance by making our standards of expectation more
It has been well observed that such a plan would be a negative
approach on our problem. Perhaps we have not exhausted the positive
means. Perhaps more encouragement and recognition of desirable traits,
more definite instructions, a more alert student public opinion, and-more
earnest prayer in these matters could afford the means of ad-justment
needed. If we are not using these to the full, we owe it to
ourselves to do so; and we owe it also to those whose contributions
make possible this school and our own stay in it, and to the Lord who
has called us to live and work for Him.
However, we have no basis for the assumption that our group is
so different from other social groups that we can dispense with the
negative approach. That an occasional individual will fail to adjust him-self
in our school may be taken for granted. For such individuals a
demerit plan would afford an opportuity of standardized treatment with
a maximum emphasis on helpfulness. For those who have fitted them-selves
to the behavior standards of the group, the demerit plan would
be an indication of successful adjustment.

Clarion Aims
After much delay occasioned by
more than usual confusion around
the campus in this our first year
of peace, we have at last printed
the first issue of this year's Clar-ion.
We regret that it was not
completed earlier, but conditions
have been very abnormal until now
and no staff was chosen. How-ever
we are now organized and
expect to put out a paper every
other week henceforth.
The aims of the Clarion a r e
threefold: to inform, to entertain,
and to edify. Our news stories on
the first and last pages are intend-ed
to inform you, the reader, of
the activities of the students of
Bethel College and Seminary. Our
feature stories are written for your
enjoyment and entertainment. Our
editorials, meditations, e t c., a r e
aimed to the edification and
strengthening of Christians.
These are our aims. If you are
not informed nor entertained, nor
edified, we hope that you will tell
us so, and that you will freely
offer comments a n d suggestions
that will make this a worthwhile
We also welcome any editorials,
articles, or other contribution you

Ganstroms Wait
For Embarkation
As each day goes by and the
time for our sailing draws near,
we are becoming more anxious to
begin our new work. This letter
will contain just main information
as to how we have gotten ready
to go to Africa. Then if you have
questions, I'll try to answer them
when I write again.
We left St. Paul June 12th for
Elgin, Iowa where a state young
people's conference was in pro-gress.
We spent two glorious days
there before going to sunny Kan-sas.
On June 15th Don's folks met
our train and were more anxious
to see Norris than us. It seems
that way now wherever we go.
But we don't mind since he is a
real joy to us. He is seven months
now, has two teeth, sits alone, and
wants to stand. We spent a very
enjoyable two months on the farm
in Kansas. While there we made
out our grocery order for a year
in advance. If you make a weekly
grocery list, just multiply that by
fifty two and you will have a fair
idea of what our list was like.
Then there was the packing and
listing of all items going to Africa.
If there is any danger of damage,
they must be packed air tight. We
have done quite a bit of our order-i
n g thrOugh Montgomery Wards
since they have an export depart-ment
and consequently pack our
order for over seas. You can be
sure that saves us a lot of time.
We were expecting to leave Port-land,
where we are now with my
f olk s, by September 15th, but
found that it would take five
weeks to get my two impact wis-dom
teeth removed so we are here
until October 10th anyway. If you
write this address before we leave,
we promise to answer personally
while aboard ship, that is if we
aren't seasick all the way.
Sincerely yours,
Don and Verna Ganstrom
(Don Ganstrom graduated from
Bethel Seminary last June. We
wish him and his wife God's rich-est
blessings in Africa.)
Quest For
Pure Gold

The very finest God did send
Down from his home in Heav'n.
Most precious treasure to the

My life, my all, to Him I owe
The hest that I can do.
But what, 0 Jesus, could it be,
That would compare to you.
Oh, take away the stubble, Lord,
The wood, the stones, the hay,
And in Thy hand, remold, remake.
0 Potter, I'm the clay.
Now take away all trace of self.

For nothing in myself is gold

With the addition of the new
wing came more girls to the dorm,
which should make more news.
Bathtub parties aren't restricted
to Saturday nights at the girl's
dorm. In fact they are so frequent
and held at such odd hours, that
Gladys Finstrom finds them a little
boring. A little difficulty, how-ever,
has been encountered trying
to get Deloris Erickson into the
shower room. Maybe she is na-turally
The girls aren't satisfied with
having water parties in the dorm,
but have even tried to have them
outside. Bill Haring got all wet
one night. Now he knows the
meaning of the saying "It came
down in buckets full." That's be-cause
he wasn't as fortunate as
Clarence Sahlin, who had Jackie
Lundquist protecting him from the
showers that rained down from the
second floor.
Ingrid Johnson and Lucille Pal-mer
were unseen peekers at the
"secret" initiation of the male cho-rds—
that is, until they were
caught. Then they were initiated
—to some Limburger c h e es e.
These two girls and their former
room-mates who lived on the sec
ond floor of the college building
were very ungracious to their male
chorus serenaders that night. The
singers were given a very wet re-ception.
`Twas the night before Hallow-een
and all through the dorm, not
a character was stirring—except
for the "four bandits", who took
advantage of the absence of their
dorm-mates and played a few
tricks. The girls returned to find
their beds in turmoil. They sought
and found the pranksters, and due
punishment was administered by
means of lipstick and perfume.
Letters From
Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts,
G r e e tin gs and hallucinations

your very welcome news letter of

As you can see by the letter-heads,
I "joined" the U.S. Infantry.
Last August 2nd I was fondly ush-ered
into the kindly fellowship of
the "people's army." I was induct-ed
in the great city of Chicago
(the word "great" refers to size

HIGH FLIGHT Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun split clouds . .. and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of . . wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark, or even eagle flew;
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

SEM SNATCHES By Bill Peterson
T'was Hallowe'en evening and all through_ the dorm,
All the creatures were stirring, all but a worm.
Some guys were away, but the fellows who stayed
Were racking their skulls for the night's escapade.
But Pete and Forsline, Bill Haring, Sahlin,
We never would guess that these minds were so keen
As to cook up a way to enter locked rooms.
(They must have had the help of the "hags on the brooms".
But enter they did, and raised royal commotion
With bed springs, ties, pictures, and after shave lotion.
As fiendish and bloodcurdling howls filled the halls,
They smattered and scattered and splattered the walls
Of our cute little dwellings, so snug and so neat,
So they `geared to be trod on by dinosaur feet.
The "vultures" lay waiting for guys to arrive,
Who, if lifting their hand, would be giv'n "fluid drive".
We came in exhausted with thoughts in our head,
Of flopping straight into a nice cozy bed,
We groped for the light, with fatigue we were reeling,
"Welcome home" came the voice of four walls and the ceiling.
Patience is noble, we held to our reins,
Though pulse-beats of vengeance surged all through our veins.
So we dropped where we were, and when sleep kissed our eyes,
Our lips formed the plea, "More worms, and less guys."
Sem snatches again manages to get space in the Clarion. There
surely must be a shortage of news. We might say here in the first
issue, that due to the extremely high character and integrity of the
dorm fellows this year, there will be no need for take-offs or slanders
in this column, unless, of course, they prove expedient or convenient.

In Alumni Tussle
By 46-40 Margin
By Roy Nelson
T h e Bethel College basketball
team opened its 1945-46 season on
October 26 by defeating a group
of aging alumni by the score _ of
46-40. The college quintet trailed
for most of the first half as the
alumni controlled both backboards,
and the grads held a 25-22 lead at
half-time. However, t h e varsity
spurted to the fore early in the
second half and coasted for most
of the last quarter.
Bill Adam, former Bethel coach,
led the scoring for the alumni with
twelve points, and Wally Peterson,
high point man on last year's
squad, was runner-up with ten.
High scorers for the college were
Wayne Peterson, Bud Siegel, and
Bob Nyman, who made thirteen,
twelve, and nine points respective-ly.

For Girl's
With several sophomores back,
and a large number of freshmen
girls showing a great deal of in-terest
and ability, prospects look
good for the girls' basketball team
this year. About twenty or thirty
girls have reported for practice
every Tuesday and Thursday eve-ning,
and from that number, the
team will be chosen in the near
future. Returning sophomores are:
Grace Jorgenson, Doris Johnson,
Betty Mae Nelson, Carol Peterson,
Jean Hamlett, Marianne Schouwei-ler,
and Pauline Widen. Dolores
Erickson, Donella Groebe, Kathryn
Nelson, and Doris Richert a r e
some of the most promising fresh-men
team material.
No definite schedule has been
made yet, but it is expected that
the girl's games will be played
preliminary to those of the varsity
team. Some of the groups with
whom the team will compete are
Northwestern Bibl e School, St.
Francis Hospital, University Farm
School, and the various Twin City
church teams.
Paul Edwards, who will serve
as coach for the group, says that
this year's girls' team will be the
best the school has had.
Having received t h e go - ahead
signal from the Policy Committee,
Coach Paul Edwards • is now com-pleting
arrangements for a basket-ball
trip to Chicago, Illinois. Ten
players will leave St. Paul on
Thursday, November 29, and re-t
u r n on Tuesday, December 4.
Games are scheduled near Chicago
with Wheaton College on Saturday
night, a n d either Elmhurst or
North Central Colleges on Friday
The trip will be a severe test for
the Indians, who will find any of
these teams, which are all mem-bers
of the conference, very hard
to beat.
The only other game definitely
scheduled is one with Augsburg
College of Minneapolis on Satur-day,
November 24. However, con-tests
are tentatively arranged with
Concordia Jr. College of St. Paul,
and Austin Jr. College of Austin,
Minnesota, which are the only
other schools of the Minnesota
Conference of Junior Colleges that
are operating this year. A more
complete schedule will be forth-coming
in a few weeks.
bombing raid can do—just about
level off a modern city. The big
problem now is the food and hous-ing.
You'll really be shocked to
hear about their rations. They get
enough rice for three bowls a day
(pre-war: eight to ten) three days
a month—then the rest of the
month, they have to live on pota-toes
and what little vegetables
they can dig up. If you remember
that rice was the basic food, you
can realize what a state these
people are in. The sugar ration,
believe it or not, is one pound per
family per year, when it's avail-able.
Around here they've had one
distribution of meat since the first
of last year. No kidding, it's real-ly
going to be a problem—especi-ally
the people who have lost their
home and all their clothing.
To continue with my itinerary—
from Yokohama, we went to To-kyo
to the grand headquarters
where we stayed for a day. Sec-tions
of the city were intact and
many of the larger government
buildingg were still standing. It
certainly was a funny feeling to
stand in front of the imperial pa-lace
and gaze across the well-known
moat at the residence of
the emperor. After that, we came
back to Aomori, caught a ferry
across the straits, landed inHako-date
and got another sleeper to
ourselves to Sapporo, where this
honorable gentleman w ill reside
during his enforced sojourn. This
city hasn't been touched at all—
at least, thats one consolation.
It's a fairly large, clean city of
250,000 but there isn't much doing.
All the cafes and restaurants are
closed because of the lack of food.
Now that the G.I.'s have landed,
practically all the stores are dis-playing
bare shelves—which ori-ginally
weren't too well stocked.

2010 farewell - and some honest thoughts
Achillea, real and sketched
So. 2010 is coming to a close. And what a year it has been. So much has happened yet it seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. For me, the year has been one of a lot of personal and professional growth. Not as much as I would have liked (on both fronts) but growth all the same.
I've spent this last week doing a lot of reflecting whilst on holidays. And I think my thoughts on the year can be grouped under two themes:
Anxiety & Acceptance
Like most people, I have lots of different anxieties, that affect me to varying degrees both socially and in the workplace. 2010 has been a year of recogising these and learning ways to manage them - definitely still a work in progress! An important part of that is acceptance. Both accepting myself for who I am, but also surrounding myself with lovely people who accept me & my quirks and don't push and pull me to be something else. And of course, doing the same for them in return :)
Inspiration & Intimidation
The hardest thing about 2010 for me has been the lack of creative inspiration. Running Ink & Spindle so often feels like a machine that constantly needs feeding. Opportunities for creativity have been centrered around working with our existing designs (new products etc) rather than developing new ones.
I want to be inspired again but also inspire others again. I look back at my work from a few years ago and miss all of that random creative expression that wasn't related to my work. And I miss how that made others respond and connect with me and my blog. I also see all of the amazing creative development going on around me (eg our friends at Harvest) and feel so intimidated by it all. I know that might sound crazy given what we have achieved so far but moving forward is still really important - both commercially and personally.
Anyway, I really want to bring inspiration and creative expression back into my life, and I'm really hoping our 2 week break away from the studio (and some time out of Melbourne!) will faciltate that.
Anyway enough rambling, here's some sketches from the last few days :)
Top - I've been toying with the idea of getting into ceramics again, hmmmm
Bottom - flowering eucalypts...
Lastly, I just want to say a huge thank you to anyone out there reading this blog and commenting. It really does mean a lot to me. I hope next year I'll have more interesting and exciting things to share :)

wow....that is very honest of you and so generous to share how you feel. I have also had similar thoughts in the last few months. It is reading blog posts like these that makes me truly grateful for the internet and blogs. We all have much more in common than we realize. Wishing you a new year filled with much inspiration and creativity. I (along with many others im sure) look forward to reading all about it here. thanks claudia

Lara, your blog is a reflection of whats happening for you, so you never have to worry about needing it to be more.

Love, love, love the birds. I am so impressed with how you girls are going with Ink & Spindle, but I would also dearly love to see some new designs...I am missing them too (without trying to create any pressure!!!) But I think the birds have potential. All the best for 2011. You are amazing!

- preeety said...
unfortunately, i know exactly what you mean. it has led me, along with fears etc, to leave behind something i love which is drawing for drawings sake, not as a study for a new logo or a new table or whatnot. i miss that, the freedom of expression you lose when you start thinking of the consequences of that simple action of putting pen to paper. of being creative without worrying about clients and results and costs. thats the thing they dont tell you about being a professional designer, that having to be creative all the time is really exhausting. best wishes for the new year and hope you can overcome some if not all of that.

It can be so hard to know when the processes of life are part of a natural rhythm and when they need a kick up to move to the next stage. Your year of consolidation may feel frustrating at times, but getting the foundations of your business and self in solid shape is ultimately what will allow you to create and be more freely. I wish you all the luck in the world to get the best possible balance in 2011, and to not worry so much. You are already way up there.
Having said all that, some new designs would be very exciting from where I sit! :-)

I don't often comment, but I do read your blog, and I always enjoy when I see a new post from you! I really love the sketches you posted, and I'm just wild about that first photo of the yellow flowers against the purple background--so pretty!
I know how hard it can be to carve out your own creative time, especially when you work in the creative field--something I'm still working on to find the balance. Best of luck to you with all your creative endeavors in the new year!

I think we all deal with anxieties and intimidation at different points in our creative paths. It takes courage to air them on the blog, but it's great to see this honest post!
Been missing your creative posts too. Love the sketches. Here's to a creative 2011!
- 12:44 pm
Well, I look forward to this year's posts... but I *really* enjoyed last year's posts. I know that that necessary repetition that is sometimes brought on by work can make us feel like we're not being very interesting or creative, but I thought your last 12 months of posts were lovely and inspiring and kind of, well gentle and soothing. That said, I hope you do manage to carve out some more of that elusive dreaming and making time for your own projects this year. Because I love 'em! To wit: thanks to you I have cushions with a perfectly invisible seam on my couches! (Ok , I know that was the year before last but you get the drift...)

Lara, a lovely heartfelt and honest post which clearly many people could relate to, including me. It is also intimidating being a newcomer, up against such established, accomplished and talented creatives such as yourself and all the other fab designers/makers out there. I hope 2011 brings you all the creative space you need with the results you desire and deserve.
- 1:55 pm
Lara, all the best for 2011. I admire your honesty - I have felt all the same insecurities but unlike you am not brave enough to admit it.

Wishing you lots of wonderful creativeness for 2011.
I hear you on the trying to keep things going (business + life + relationships), while trying to keep being creative. It's a constant challenge to do it all.
I am always inspired, amazed and excited by what you (+ Teegs) are doing professionally {and I know lots and lots of other people are, too}. And, personally, I've noticed your changes and growth and felt for you and enjoyed your breakthroughs.
Keep being you. Surrounding yourself with people who like and appreciate you, really does help and make a difference doesn't it.
Take care. Enjoy. Smile.

It seems 2010 was a year where many of us felt similar to how you have felt. 2011 is the year for doing what needs to be done but also for making time for ourselves, to create for the pleasure of creating, for enjoying for the sake of enjoying and having fun doing it all.
I hope we get to spend more time hanging out with each other this year too.

I feel you lady! having zoe has taken away alot of what I used to be and I find myself now with the urge to create but don't know where to start. do you dabble in something completely new? or do you jump back into the saddle of what you already know? we should collaborate again sometime. xoxox

This doesn't sound good.
Commentary: Senator Baucus is annoyed at the AMA, so he banned them from the hearings which will determine whether the 10% cut in Medicare professional reimbursements will be delayed/canceled. You may recall that, once more, Congress reached an eleventh-hour deal to postpone the cut in December, but only for six months, instead of the more typical one-year reprieve. So the issue needs to be re-visited this spring. My reflex is to get all indignant that our voice won't be heard at the table, but it's really not a big deal. The AMA is a terribly ineffective advocate for physicians on Capitol Hill, there are plenty of other advocacy and specialty groups to speak for us, like the AARP, and the position and needs of physicians are well enough known that the AMA, while not exactly superfluous, is expendable in this case. If it appeases Baucus to make the AMA the sacrifical lamb this year, it's worth it.
More concerning: "House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Chair Pete Stark (D-Calif.) on Thursday said that he doubts Congress would be able to find the money for a patch and that the cut would go into effect." Ruh-roh! I don't know too much about Pete Stark, except that his name is on a piece major legislation that greatly complicates and restricts the financial relationships between physicians and hospitals. He does not seem open to the needs of physicians; though, FWIW, he is quoted as saying that they want to take a comprehensive look at creating a whole new payment system. It sounds kind of scary to me, but if he's looking at fixing the SGR, we need to make nice to him and keep him on our side.
If the 10% cut goes through, it will be an unmitigated disaster. There will be a lot of Medicare patients who do not have doctors. If there are any readers of this blog who live in CA-13, the Oakland area, I'd make it a point to give a call to Rep Stark's office or send him an email.
For that matter if you live in any of the districts represented by the W&M Health members, give their office a call. Be polite and make sure they know how concerned you are that access to care for Medicare beneficiaries will be severely impacted by the 10% cut.
Baucus, for what it's worth, does seem more attuned to the need to stop the cuts in the short term.

Get ready for that 10% cut

As I understand it, as an ER doc, you are mandated to see all patients that come to the Emergency Room. So what happens if the government continues to cut Medicare reimbursement? Can you refuse to accept Medicare and bill senior citizens a fair amount directly, or are you forced to take whatever Medicare wants to give you?ReplyDelete
What will happen, as an ER doc, is that his ER will be even more overflowing as those with Medicare who can't find doctors will come to his, or any other ER, for care. Unfortunately, those in the ER, Anesthesia and the like will have to bend over and take the cuts, as they have to participate in Medicare. Those of us who see patients in the hospital will have to take the cuts. But, I can just say no to those office patients with Medicare, as there's no obligation to see these patients. The whole reimbursement issue in NJ is worse when Medicaid is the secondary,as the Legislature mandated that the state won't pay the 20% (ain't no money), and we can't balance bill. I really can't wait for the cuts to go through, as the whole system needs to crumble before it can be fixed - and in an election year, yet.ReplyDelete
I sent this message to Mr. Stark; I'd be interested if anyone has thoughts on the comment.ReplyDelete
Dear Mr. Chairman,
I am a former intern of your subcommittee, and a current medical student in California. My time with Ways and Means taught me a great deal about the difficulties that Congress faces in financing Medicare, and that altering physician reimbursement is an essential component of Medicare finance reform. With that in mind, I must strongly urge you to reconsider your position on the 10% cuts forthcoming to physician reimbursement. Such a cut will decrease access to healthcare providers for Medicare recipients; this is a given. More importantly, it doesn't address the problems associated in a fee-for-service finance system; healthcare providers will compensate for the cuts in a variety of ways other than reducing their number of Medicare patients, including booking more appointments and spending less time with each patient. In this age of chronic disease and multiple co-morbidities, polypharmacy, and complex mental health issues, reducing the time that providers can spend with their patients has negative consequences for every patient in this nation, and particularly for your constituents 65 and older. I strongly urge you to take action to prevent the 10% provider cuts, and instead to focus efforts on addressing the systemic problems in Medicare finance.

did you see this thread on Stark and Medicare a while ago on Kevin M.D.? gives some perspective on what Stark thinks about the cuts.
Anon 4:23,ReplyDelete
ismd is right. Most hospital-based physician groups are obligated as a position of their hospital contracts to accept medicare (and any other payers the hospital wants to require).
Anon 12:28,
Yeah, I saw that. The pity is that he clearly does not understand the access crisis. I don't think that docs will drop medicare in droves (might happen, but I doubt it). But they will just limit the number of slots in the clinic for medicare patients, just as they do for medicaid patients, with the effect that medicare patients who for whatever reason need to find a new doctor can't find one who will see them.
It's already happening, to some degree, and will just get worse as the reimbursements drop (or fail to keep pace with inflation in costs).
- Anonymous6/28/2008 3:54 PM
As an anesthesiologist, we would be forced to accept the cuts. That said, eventually we would no longer be able to hire or retain staff and service. One option would be to demand the hospital pay for services it is required to delivery to the community, but MDs are no longer reimbursed for. THe bottom line eventually the availability for some services would be reduced or eliminated.ReplyDelete

This bright flowering holly was first found in a nearby bog
Winterberry shows at its best this season, inviting you to cut it for Christmas decorating. The native deciduous forms of holly grow as shrubs six to eight feet tall. At this time of year, the ends of the branches are filled with clusters of bright red berries.
Maryland has two native species, Ilex verticillata and Ilex serrata. It is not uncommon to see them planted along highways. They are increasingly being used because they can tolerate growing in boggy wet soil as well as on well-drained soil while providing interest this time of year.
Save Glads
There is also a botanical form of winterberry called Maryland Beauty. A local grower of greenhouse crops found this particular winterberry growing in a bog on his property in Mitchellville. It is an Ilex serrata species with larger and darker red berries than any of the species growing in the wild.
After observing it for a couple of years following its discovery, I encouraged the nurseryman to register it with the American Holly Society and make it available. Cuttings from the plant were taken in June and again in July and rooted with ease. From this one plant growing in the bog, Maryland Beauty is recognized and widely grown by nurseries.
If you try one, you'll also need a male deciduous holly plant that flowers at the same time. Maryland Beauty is a female plant and must be pollinated every summer by pollen from a nearby male.
The flowers of deciduous hollies are pollinated by flies and not by bees. So when the plant is in flower, don't be surprised if you see green-headed flies crawling in it.
The deep-red heavy clusters of Maryland Beauty berries make them ideal for indoor decorating. All of the berries appear on the stems of the current season's growth, which enhances their attractiveness. Use extreme care when cutting the stems to minimize shedding berries from the stem. Once they are cut, do not put them in water. Since the berries shrink very slowly, they will remain attractive for a month or more indoors. Thus, they're ideal for making dry arrangements or for decorating the Christmas tree.
Contrary to popular belief, holly berries are not poisonous, though neither do they taste good. If eaten in any quantity, they will cause digestion problems.

While I'm sitting home sick and in a lull between planing and harvesting and floral gigs, I've been catching up on some reading. If I wasn't too sick to move from the couch, I would definitely be out finding something sturdy to swing my hammock between so I could read outside. (You should be warned I'm obsessed with my hammock and will probably find many more opportunities to mention it.)
So, for the reading material:
-Borders has an awesome magazine selection (rivaled, at least in Portland, only by Powell's books) where I found this fun wedding flowers mag. It's aptly called "Wedding flowers: your expert guide to bridal blooms" for June/July 2010. It's British, and is connected to this website (I recommend the "Real-life flowers" section). I loved their cute ideas, and that they included some ideas for doing things smaller and more affordable.
-While we're renting and focused on potted gardens, we're still a little obsessed with gardens and learning as much as we can about gardening before we have a yard of our own. My in-laws got wind of this and sent me a book they just found for my birthday. It's similar to another one we've found, and I'm excited to actually read this one (I just got it, so I've only skimmed it) because we're pretty sure this is a style/philosophy of gardening that we want to get in to. The book is "All New Square Foot Gardening" by Mel Bartholomew. His website is a little intense, so I suggest checking out the book.

Bummed out because you don't have enough 3D movies and you're sick of watching Avatard? Maybe you need a new TV. Like Philips's new 3D HDTV, which will take your 2D movies and TV shows and make them 3D. It's coming right at us!
According to Philips, you can not only make a 2D show or movie 3D, but you can even "adjust the experience." Not 100-percent sure what that means, but I'm hoping that means that I'll be able to push explosions about three feet from the screen. As expected, the TV is super thin—the screen is only 9mm thick and features a silver bezel instead the usual black bezel. Look for this 55-incher at the end of the year for around $1,700.

Church Fights Walmart
POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) — A church outside Atlanta has blocked a Walmart Supercenter's plans to sell alcohol.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports that the Cobb County Board of Commissioners rejected Walmart's request to waive a restriction on selling alcohol within 600 feet of a church.
The store opened a few years ago just over 200 feet from Pine Grove Baptist Church, which has been there for decades. Pine Grove's congregation urged commissioners to reject the waiver.
At Tuesday's meeting, the county commissioners rejected Walmart's request in a 4-1 vote.

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
As required by the Federal Department of Education Clery Act, the Otterbein Police Department maintains a Daily Crime Log of criminal incidents and alleged criminal incidents that are reported to the campus police. The Daily Crime Log is available to all students, parents and the general public. It includes, but is not limited to, such information as date, time, location, responding officer and outcomes of incidents. We include reports of all types of crimes, not just those required by the Clery Act. We also maintain an On-Campus Residential Housing Fire Log.
Any arrest records are publicly accessible in the court systems in which they are filed. When serious or continuing threats arise on or near campus, police implement the Red Alert timely warning notification system immediately sending notices to all students by text, email and phone with detailed instructions.
As a private police force, the Otterbein Police Department works to protect student safety while also protecting the identity of innocent victims. For victims of crime, including survivors of sexual assaults, this means that only people who need to know about an incident will be given their names and other limited information, as necessary. These people may include law enforcement officials and campus employees trained in victim support and counseling. Studies show that survivors of sexual assault are less likely to report the crime if their names are made available, and Otterbein wants to continue to offer a supportive environment for survivors to come forward.
Otterbein University's "Annual Campus Security and Fire Safety Report" includes institutional policies concerning campus security, alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, reporting of crimes, sexual assault/violence, missing person notification, fire safety and other important campus policies that you should familiarize yourself with. The report also provides statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings owned or controlled by Otterbein University; and on public property within, immediately adjacent to, and accessible from the campus; as well as on-campus fire statistics for the previous three years.
In the report, you will find:

thetankman99 needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 27 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
Ontario Regiment Museum
I am a volunteer at the museum and a billboard company has offered to donate some free billboard locations for the upcoming season.
The Ontario Regiment Museum (http://www.ontrmuseum.ca) is located in Oshawa, Ontario. In addition to histotic military artifacts and displays, the museum is unique for having the largest collection of operating military vehicles in Canada. The collection of working vehicles includes a WW2 Sherman, a Chafee, a Sheridan, and the M60 Main Battle Tank. Additional information can be found at the website, http://www.ontrmuseum.ca. As with all military museums, the purpose is to educate the publicand remember the sacrifices of those who served. The objective of the advertisement is to encourage more people to visit the museum.
Billboards are seen for roughly 10 - 15 seconds and the cars are travelling upwards of 50 Mph, so the text must be clear, easy to read, and attention getting. The larger the font size the better, generally.
- actual billboard sizes will be 10 x 32 feet and 10 x 20 feet, please choose an appropriate scale for your drawing
- must have an eye catching photo of a Sherman Tank integrated into the design
- text must be limited to:
Tank Museum
1000 Stevenson Rd Oshawa
Goal is to attract interest, encourage people to visit the website and museum.
