Thistle Hill Wines needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 390 designs submitted by 113 freelance designers.
Thistle Hill Vineyard
We've made this contest blind to encourage creativity and originality. We hope to attract lots of experienced and skilled designers.
Our vineyard was one of the pioneers of the organic wine industry. Thistle Hill has been operating organic since the mid-70s. This year we won the best organic wine in Australia and New Zealand and the best white wine.
The original owners recently passed the torch and the new owners plan to expand the company rapidly in Australia and around the world. They need help and inspiration with updating and revising the logo. Check out our website for more information on the company. http://www.thistlehill.com.au
Why do we want to change?
Wine logos need to be memorable and stand out on the shelf. We need a logo that does this. We hope to have a logo that can easily be described to someone going to a store to pick up wine. We want a wife to be able to tell her husband 'honey pick up that wine with the (insert image here) on it'
Yellow Tail was easy. It was the wine with the Kangaroo. We want help developing a more memorable logo for Thistle Hill which will help us become the world's best known organic wine brand.
The winning design will think outside the box, use illustration rather than simple computer graphics or clip art and the designer will certainly win future work from us if they apply their talent, heart and soul to the project.
Organic wines are most popular with urban females. Though the logo should not be offensive to men. But think of females when you are creating the new logo or updating the current version.
Organic wine drinkers are also fairly sophisticated and urban and want aesthetics that draw on spas, retreats, yoga schools, salons etc.
The winning logo will be creative and display your talents.
It must be usable in a variaty of mediums, including t-shirts, bottles, websites, banners etc... so keep it relatively simple.
Please use your illustration talents rather than relying on clip art. We understand that some designers use clip art to give us an idea of what they would do if we asked for further revisions. If this is what you are doing, let us know in advance.
We are leaving this contest open for you to decide whether to throw out our logo or just give it an overhaul and updating.
We've attached an .ai version of the current logo to help.
Make sure to ask for feedback from your friends and family, particularly any Whole Foods or other health food store shoppers.
We'll also give you feedback. This contest is being run by an experienced marketer who will help guide you to a winning entry!
Good luck.... looking forward to working together on this project!

I've been brewing for several years....
Quote from: cheba420 on April 22, 2012, 05:49:02 PM I've been brewing for several years.... More important, how do you feel about your brew?
I've gotten some really useful critiques from contests, and some really godawful critiques from contests. At one comp I had like three judges tell me my Belgian Dark Strong (80% pils, 20% D2, fermented with 3787 @ 70*) was mis-entered, and should have been entered as an English Barleywine. So, don't expect judges to always know what they're talking about.
I dont taste or smell the DMS or Diacetyl...... but that doesnt mean its not there.
I'm pretty sure no one one this board would like my "7% lawnmower beer" but thats OK.
Quote from: tubercle on April 22, 2012, 06:21:39 PMI'm pretty sure no one one this board would like my "7% lawnmower beer" but thats OK.Spounds great! an Imperial Cream Ale? Care to share your recipe?TIA, Tom
I take a bit of issue with the "if it tastes good to you, it is good" theory.
DMS is normally caused from using pils malt and not boiling long enough, or boiling with a lid on. If you use pils malt it is a a good idea to boil for at least 90 minutes.Diacetyl will depend on a lot of factors. It is generated during fermenentation but the yeast tend to clean it up after the other forms of nutrients are gone. Some strains throw more than others and some strains do worse job of cleaning it up than others. strains that are highly flocculative tend to not clean up the diacetyl. Pitching warm can also be a factor in dicetyl, especially pitching warm and then cooling the active fermentation. diacetyl can also reform in the finished beer if it is oxidized during racking. It can also be from contamination.

MARIETTA, Ohio - The MIT women's track and field team was well represented at the NCAA Division III Championship as nine competing athletes helped the team to a 10th place finish, the highest at this meet in program history. Four individuals earned All-America honors for the Engineers, who finished with 20 points to tie for 10th.
Portia Jones capped her impressive rookie season with a fourth-place finish and an All-America nod in the 400m hurdles. The freshman set a new Institute record in the preliminary heat with a time of 61.73 seconds. She ran 61.76 in the finals to finish fourth. Jones was also an All-America performer at the Division III Indoor Championship in March.
Amy Magnuson picked up another All-America selection, the third of her collegiate career, with a fourth-place finish in the 100m hurdles. After finishing third in this event her freshman year Magnuson was injured and unable to compete at last season's NCAA Championship. Her time of 14.37 seconds was just shy of her own school record.
Jacqui Wentz continued her dominance of the 3000m Steeplechase with a fourth-place showing and the second All-America honor of her career. Her time of 10:32.61 bettered the previous Division III season best and set a new program standard.
Emily Hwang vaulted her way into fourth-place in the pole vault with a jump of 12-6.25 feet. Hwang improved upon her fifth-place effort at the NCAA Indoor Championship earlier this season.
Anna Holt-Gosselin and Jennifer Doyle had impressive performances at 10,000 meters finishing 14th and 17th, respectively. Tech's 4x400m relay quartet just missed qualifying for the finals, finishing with a time of 3:51.68.
Wartburg College took home the team title, narrowly edging Wisconsin-Oshkosh by a score of 52-50.

Gates Pays Respects to Fallen Servicemembers at Dover
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 17, 2009 – Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates traveled to Dover Air Force Base, Del., last night to pay his respects to four servicemembers killed recently in Afghanistan, a senior Pentagon official said here today.
Gates "wanted to personally honor the sacrifice" of the three soldiers and one airman who died last weekend in a roadside bomb attack near Jalalabad, Afghanistan, Press Secretary Geoff Morrell told reporters.
Jalalabad is located between the Afghan capital of Kabul and the Pakistani city of Peshawar.
The secretary's visit to Dover last night "was a very moving experience for him," Morrell said.
Gates has wanted to visit the facilities at Dover for some time, Morrell said. Dover's Charles C. Carson Center for Mortuary Affairs is the Defense Department's largest joint-service mortuary facility, and the only one in the continental United States. Dover also is the U.S. military's largest air terminal.
"The secretary was enormously impressed by the professionalism of the aircrew, the honor guards, the mortuary affairs personnel, and really everyone involved in this process," Morrell said. "He very much appreciates their steadfast commitment to treating our returning war dead as the fallen heroes they truly are."
There was no media presence during Gates' visit to Dover, Morrell said.
"We did not travel even with an official photographer," Morrell said, noting the trip was "merely a personal visit of the secretary's."
Meanwhile, Morrell said, a Defense Department working group probably is within weeks of presenting its recommendations for implementing a change in policy to allow the news media to photograph the flag-draped caskets of returning fallen servicemembers with their families' permission. Gates announced the policy change Feb. 26.
"There is still some additional work to do, and the secretary has to sign off on the final recommendations of the working group, in terms of how this is going to all take place," Morrell said.
So your visit to honor these fallen heroes was a personal visit, one no media agent was allowed to impose upon, and yet you are still planning on lifting the ban on media access to Dover. You sir are a hypocrite and a failure to those you serve!

Ringo Pie - April
I have always wanted a vintage fold out sewing box, I just haven't come across the 'one' yet. To me they are a bit like a treasure chest full of pretty shiny things waiting to be found. I love the idea of pulling out a drawer, rummaging through buttons and tangled threads to find the buried treasure under it all.
I thought this block was going to be a breeze, no curves no Y seams it all seemed pretty straightforward to me when I designed it. But I had underestimated the trickiness of matching up those skinny diagonal strips. A lot of time was spent unsewing and in the end there is still one unruly strip. One can only unpick a seam so often before it becomes a complete mess so I had to accept and move on.
That's two down, one to go!

It looks fab, well done!ReplyDelete
It turned out great! One would never know the trouble it caused you =DReplyDelete
I'm hosting a new swap over at my blog if anyone is interested please pop over for a look =D
This is great. I actually had one of these sewing boxes and had always wanted one for the same reason. Mine was not vintage. It was modern and had ugly black concertina struts and most of it was pinned not screwed and unfortunately it wore out.ReplyDelete
This block is just amazing, Leila. Nice work!!ReplyDelete
Oh, I love these kinds of sewing chests too! Yours is wonderful! I completely know what you mean. Sometimes a seam can't stand for another rip out. That happened to me on Charise's block.ReplyDelete
That is awesome!ReplyDelete
Well, I think it looks great! I would love to be a part of something as creative as Ringo Pie -- congrats!!ReplyDelete
beautiful leila! i bet amber will love it!ReplyDelete
Simply divine! There is so much that is right with this block it is a shame to point it's one tiny, little problem!ReplyDelete
Oh thats gorgeous! so retro and fabulous :-)ReplyDelete
Such a nostalgic item - I love it!ReplyDelete
Leila, it's fab! I bet your bee mate will be thrilled with it!ReplyDelete
You did an amazing job- I can see what a nightmare it would be matching up the diagonals but your are spot on!ReplyDelete
I love this! The fabrics are perfection!ReplyDelete
It's amazing...thank you so much! What a lot of work and I feel so honored that it's mine :-) I love it!!ReplyDelete
You can't see the naughty strip - it just looks brilliant, what size is it?ReplyDelete
Oh, but it's so, SO cute. I'd love to own the real thing!ReplyDelete
Be still my heart. Serious cuteness.ReplyDelete

Bethel ends two year search for dean
"Moods '68" — an annual high-light
on Bethel's social calendar—
appears this Saturday night at 8
p.m. in the college field house.
There is no admission charge.

Delay in the completion of a
three-story co-ed residence on
Bethel's Arden Hills campus has
created an acute housing prob-lem
for the college. Nearly 120 stu-dents
slated to occupy the new
dormitory have been assigned tem-porary
housing until the new cam-pus
residence opens.
Construction on the dormitory,
which has one wing for men and
one wing for women, began late
last spring and represents the ini-tial
development in the college's
$1034 million relocation. An an-onymous
gift of $500,000 made with
the stipulation that it be used for
a dormitory erected and occupied
for fall semester made last spring's
construction start possible.
Early rumors that the dormitory
would not be completed by the
projected September date were
confirmed in August when con-tractors
officially notified college
officials that the projected date
could not be met. October 1 was
set as the new date for occupancy,
and the Student Services Office
made arrangements for temporary
housing for the students involved.
Forty women were housed on
the fairgrounds in ten new motel
units which had been built for fair
officials. Each unit includes two

While the contractors are still

not expected to be ready until

Sociologist views modern church
I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn
assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and cereal
offerings, I will not accept them, and the peace offerings of your
fatted beasts I will not look upon. Take away from me the noise of
your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let
justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everflowing
Amos 5: 21-24 (RSV)
Peter Berger, The Noise of Solemn Assemblies
by Dave Shupe
There is a constantly growing
uneasiness today on the part of
Christian students toward t h e
Church. Our views vary between
extremes: some see the institution-a-
1 Church with only minor blem-ishes,
others consider it a real
hindrance between people and the
radical claims of Christ.
Some of us are seriously ques-tioning
whether Christ can use his
Church in its present form; others
wouldn't go as far as that. But
all have a sense of frustration that
will not leave.
The Noise of Solemn Assemblies
was written for such students. To
be exact, it was written for the
National Student Christian Federa-tion
as a basis for study groups.
The author, Peter Berger, is a
sociologist, and it is from that role
that he, in the first half of the
book, views the American religious
establishment. Here he is wholly
objective, using the best sociologi-cal
methods to study cultural, poli-tical,
social, and psychological re-ligion.
In the second half, he again
views the Church — this time as
a Christian layman, comparing
what the Church ought to be with
what it is found to be. And he
discovers only one problem: the
Christian faith has been left out.
Berger says that the function of
the Church (like the function of re-ligion
in all societies) is to sup-port
the norms of the society, the
"O.K. world." The difference be-tween
those inside and those out-side
the Church is many times only
that the insiders hold to the social
norms with more solemnity, and
with divine sanction. Not that
Christ cannot be found in the
Church �� he can walk through
locked doors—but that the Church
(and we suspected this) is not fol-lowing
its Lord as it ought.
The book is not totally critical
by any means. Berger's interest
is concerned and positive (if a
little pessimistic) and he presents
provocative suggestions in four ar-eas:
personal conversion (the en-counter
with the Christian faith
that demands a radical decision),
theological construction within the
laity, social engagement, and new
forms of the Church — all com-bined
into what he calls "disestab-lishment."
But these are not offered as easy
answers; instead, his biggest con-tribution
is to delineate the issues
and ask the questions that we have
been trying to put into words.
For good books I recommend
both Berger's and Amos'.

"In recent weeks the Yankee imperialists and their puppets
in Saigon and Thailand have intensified their aggressions
against the Cambodian people.
"In their perverse designs of extending the war they have
even gone so far as to indiscriminately and savagely strafe
small villages that are near the South Vietnamese border but
well within Cambodian territory.
"These actions, which have been condemned by the Khmer
people, have been denounced before world public opinion by
the Cambodian Chief of State, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who
pointed out that "It is necessary for the civilized countries to
know that the most powerful Western power has become blood-thirsty."
"Although the Yankee imperialists have tried to use the
pretext that these attacks were accidental, their frequency and
aggressiveness leave no room for doubt that they are open
provocations against that Asian country's neutrality."

the communists who supply the bullets they dodge. Amer-ica

in the schools while permitting communists to teach. America
has ceased to be good. Will America soon cease to be great?
Even if there were no communist threat, growing moral decay
and spiritual bankruptcy will destroy America within (page 21).
"The communist program for destroying America's will to
resist can be thwarted only by 1) moving for a quick and de-cisive
military victory in Vietnam (and wherever the commu-nists
start new wars in the future), and 2) by cutting off all
trade and aid to the communist nations of the world" (page 50).

//. . . that is precisely what education is: interpretation,
the impartation of a point of view, the modeling and molding
of an outlook that examines all things from a given center.
Education is not simply the accumulation of random facts and
figures and dates . . . Education in the deepest sense is the
formation of a perspective, the building up of a position, the
development of an outlook from which all life's problems are
analyzed and evaluated. Education is a creation of a sense of
values, the establishment of priorities. The truly educated man
is an integrated man. He has a comprehensive, single-minded
view that includes all of reality . . . Christian education is the
impartation of a point of view that puts Christ at that vital
integrative center, that insists it is with him as Alpha and
Omega that all human history and knowledge is to be com-prehended."
Team visibility
During my own college days we
knew the members of the football
team so well that mass sympathy
was expressed when one of them
came down with a case of ingrown
hair. Football at Bethel just
doesn't grab me in quite the same
way, and judging from the involve-ment
and participation of the spec-tators
in cheers, etc., I'm not alone
in this.
I don't recall any occasion at
Bethel when members of the team
have appeared together without
equipment, uniform, etc., to be rec-ognized
for their contribution to
Bethel life. Many of us may pass
and greet men on campus without
knowing that they are team mem-bers.
I wonder just how the low-level
of enthusiasm and the low visibility
of the team in everyday campus
life might be related? Would it
not be worthwhile to run some
experiments and to do some inno-vating
in this area? Perhaps the
team should take over a chapel
period, or why not give them a
protest button, "Down with anony-mity,"
or post their individual pho-tographs
in a conspicuous place on
the campus.
Let's get a look at these guys
without their gear. We need to be
able to communicate some of our
support to them more directly on
a face-to-face basis. I suspect that
this would have its effect on our
cheering, and before long on the
whole enterprise. Let's not just
blame the quality of the playing
on coaching when the problems
may be far more subtle. —Dr. James Kailas, "Christ in the Clasroom,"
Donald N. Larson Christianity Today, August 30, 1968.

Experimental course could
lessen traditional inertia
Last night nearly one hundred students and several faculty
members met for the first session of a new and experimental
course, The Negro in American Life: The Plight of a Racial
Minority. On the surface this may seem at best to be a very
modest start in several directions that have long been ignored;
a one credit, experimental course tucked into Thursday eve-nings
during the eleventh hour (from 6:30 to 7:30) can hardly
be interpreted as a daring venture into the unknown.
But hopefully this is not another rehash of the old story
of too little too late, of a half-hearted effort in the "eleventh
hour." In4ead it needs to be the first step of inquiry into areas
where we are hindered by ignorance or insensitivity, and an
initial step of exploration into the possibilities of expanded inter-disciplinary
important as these things are, the new course marks an-other,
and perhaps even more important, milestone in giving
the student a greater stake in the academic side of college life.
Student interest and initiative were really responsible for the
establishment of the course, student ideas have left an indeli-ble
mark- on its contents and structure, and student response
will determine the future of this kind of course.
Continued emphasis on this type of student participation
seems crucial to the development of intellectually autonomous
maividuals, sensitive and articulate in the face of the problems
of an increasingly complex society.
"Student power" is a term which has been so maligned
and carelessly applied that one hesitates to use it. Perhaps a
rational understanding of the student power concept is too
much to ask of most people. None-the-less, Berkely disorders
and riots at Columbia do not set the tone for student power;
at the heart of the whole concept is a responsible participation
by students in the decision-making processes of the educational
"Student power" at its finest is seen in Bethel's addition
of the new experimental course. Traditionally students are at
least cautiously vocal over tuition costs and dorm hours, but
concern with academic matters (excluding essentially selfish
preoccupation with grades, credits, or degrees) is usually neg-ligible;
the new course reflects a healthy interest in a part of
college life where previously students, like good little children,
have been seen and not heard.
Student involvement in such matters is a two way street;
an unresponsive administration or faculty is no better than a
disunited and apathetic student body which may consider the
process of learning as something peripheral to that of attaining
good grades and getting a degree.
The addition of a new course rooted in student interest
and participation is hopefully an indication of Bethel's willing-ness
to operate on a "two-way street." If that is to mean as
much as it can, each member of the Bethel community needs
to make his contribution.

Each fall new and returning stu-dents
familiarize and reacquaint
themselves with Bethel's communi-ty.
As a headstart let's meet some
of the new faculty in the various
The biggest turn-over is in the
Social Sciences Department, which
includes anthropology, economics
and business, geography, social
work and sociology.
Three full-time teachers will be
joining the sociology staff. Mr.
Paul Andrusko is a new recruit. He
received his B.A. from Northwest-ern
College and plans to finish his
M.A. at the University of Minne-sota
this fall.
Mr. Richard Steinhaus has his
B.S. from Carroll College, his M.A.
from Northern Illinois University,
and additional graduate work at
Purdue. He is coming to Bethel
from an assistant's position at Nor-thern
Illinois University with ex-perience
as counsellor-caseworker
at St. Leonard's House in Chicago,
where he worked with rehabilita-tion
of female criminals.
Dr. Edwin Groenhoff will be
teaching geography and social
science education. After receiving
his B.A. from Northwestern Col-lege,
his M.Ed. from Macalester
College, and his Ed.D. from the
University of Colorado, he returned
to Macalester College as Assistant
Professor of Education for six
years. Currently he is Youth Con-sultant-
Coordinator for the Evan-gelical
Free Church of America at
Minneapolis headquarters. Part-time
teacher Mr. Thomas Choi
graduated with an M.A. in sociolo-gy
from Northern Illinois Univer-sity
and will be teaching Marriage
and the Family.
Economics displays a variety of
professions among its five part-time
teachers. Mr. Leroy Peterson
left a business career in New York
with Equitable Life Assurance for
the Seminary and part-time teach-ing
in Economics. Mr. Merlin Land-berg
is Assistant to the Vice Pres-ident
of First Bank Stock Corpor-ation
in Minneapolis and special-izes
in personnel management.
A practicing attorney with one
of the oldest firms in St. Paul,
Mr. Dennis Bowman joins the col-lege
with interests in government
and international economics. Two
men from St. Paul Ramsey Hospi-tal
will be added to the staff. Ad-ministrator
Mr. Otto Jahnke is in-volved
in management, and comp-trol
Mr. Philip Knox's fields are
accounting, computerization, and
system analyses.
Anthropology will gain two part-time
teachers. Miss Joan Law is a
missionary linguist who has worked
with the Aztecs for 18 years. Mr.
Robert Nelson, a seminary senior,
has received his degree in anthro-pology
from San Jose State.
Three full-time teachers will be
added to the department of physi-cal
sciences and mathematics. Mr.
Robert Carlsen will be Assistant
Professor of Physics and Mathe-matics
instructor. He received his
B.S. from Michigan State Universi-ty,
his M.S. from the University of
Michigan, and is close to finishing
his Ph.D. at Michigan.
With interests in applied scien-ces
he has been a lecturer in Elec-trical
Engineering. While Carlsen
and his wife were members of a
Conference church in Ann Arbor,
Michigan, they became acquainted
with Bethel. He is the first full-time
Physics teacher and is plan-ning
a Physics major which will
become effective when Bethel is
moved to the new campus.
Dr. Dale Stephens will be team-ing
up with Dr. Rodgers, presently
Associate Professor of Chemistry,
whom he met during his undergrad-uate
years at Westmont College.
After receiving his Ph.D. in crys-tallography
of organic compounds
from the University of Arizona,
Dr. Stephens was employed by the
Corn Products Company of Illinois
in chemical research.
Through his experiences at West-mont
and working with a high
school youth group in Arizona, Dr.
Stephens gravitated toward a small
Christian Arts College to teach. He
and his wife will be houseparents
for Eagle Manor this year. Already
they have made themselves at
home, installing their huge tropical
fish tank in the manor's lounge.
Former Bethelite Mr. Gene Pet-erson
returns after graduating in
1966 as a top mathematics student.
He has been taking graduate stud-ies
while a teaching assistant at the
University of Minnesota. While pre-paring
for preliminary exams for
a doctoral candidacy, he will be
teaching here with major emphasis
on analysis and algebra. An added
tie to Bethel is his recent marriage
to senior music major Susan Lewis.
The speech department will re-gain
two Bethel alumni. Mr. James
Mason, doctoral candidiate at the
University of Southern California,
will continue from last year as
associate professor of speech and
will assume the new chairmanship
of the department. Mr. David Whit-ney,
speech graduate of 1964 will
return to Bethel, having received
his M.A. in Speech this summer
from Colorado State College and
now working on his doctorate at
the University of Minnesota. While
teaching junior high school under
the CORE program, he also direct.
ed plays. At St. Paul Central High
School he was speech teacher and
debate squad coach, the positions
he will fill here this year.
Spiritual Emphasis Week is
scheduled for September 16
through 20, the first full week of
classes for Bethel students. Rev.
Art Brown will address the stu-dent
body during the daily chapel
Rev. Maurice Lawson, new cam-pus
pastor stressed the need for
new and returning students "to
orient themselves into Christian
living at the beginning of the aca-demic
year. We need to realize
personal joy and victory in the
Christian life." Spiritual Emphasis
Week is designed to help students
in these areas.
Rev. Brown received his B.A.
and M.A. in Biblical literature
from Wheaton College. He is cur-rently
engaged in doctoral studies
at New York University, working
in psychology and education.
For ten years he taught New
Testament theology and helped di-rect
the Baptist Theological Semi-nary
in Leiria, Portugal. Work-ing
with Dr. Art Lewis (Associate
Professor of Biblical Literature at
Bethel) at the seminary, he suc-ceeded
him as dean in 1962.

Last Saturday night the Royals
took the field for the first time
against the Scotts from Macalester,
losing 27-0. Not only was it the
first football game of the season
but it was also the first glimpse of
Bethel sports for incoming fresh-man.
To some the loss came easy
but to others from high schools
with championship teams, it was
a disappointment.
The game began under ideal con-ditions.
As the sun set in the west,
the starting elevens were announc-ed.
Bethel won the toss and elected
to receive. The first quarter was
evenly fought with both sides un-able
to move the ball.
A Macalester drive at the begin-ning
of the second quarter was
ended by a lost fumble on the 26
yard line. It was fumbled right
back to Mac, however, on the very
next play, but two plays later Pete
Roemer intercepted a pass by Bob
Lueben, the Scotts quarterback.
Late in the quarter Macalester
started from their own 45 and
scored eight plays later on an eight
yard pass with 4:13 remaining in
the half. A minute and forty-two
seconds later Mac scored their sec-ond
TD following an interception.
At the half the score stood 14-0.

drive on their own 39. It culminat-ed
with a one yard TD plunge 23
seconds into the final quarter.
The Royals were totally outplay-ed
in the remainder of the game.
With the offense unable to move
the ball, Bethel's defense was forc-ed
to play overtime. By the final
stanza energy was running low, and
Mac took advantage of the situa-tion
by bringing in a reserve quar-terback
who led continuous attacks
right over center.
Down by 21 points, the Royals
were forced to go to a passing

One aspect of Bethel life often
overlooked by the student body
is the long, hard hours that go
into the making of a football team.
This year another squad is wear-ing
the blue and gold to repre-sent
Bethel College in intercol-legiate
They did not appear overnight
to put on an interesting show a-gainst
Macalester f o r Welcome
Week—many steps went into the
preparation of the 1968 football
team. The first step came when
prospects left their homes and jobs
two weeks early to report for the
first football team meeting on Sat-urday
August 24.
This initial gathering is first of
all a time of enjoyable reunion
for the upperclassmen. Old friends
are greeted and summer experi-ences
are shared. Players boast of
their gains in weight and strength,
and tell jokes about themselves
and others.
For freshmen it is often a time
of confusion and doubt, but before
anyone can become too morose the
evening's business begins. Physical
examinations are made and equip-ment
is checked out. The players
are ready to begin, but must wait
until Monday morning for the first
practice session.
Sunday afternoon the players
gather again at the fieldhouse to
prepare for the trip to Wood Lake
Camp where Bethel football teams
have held training camp for many
years. After assembling the team
and loading equipment, the squad
leaves behind the confusions and
distractions of the city and State
Fair and heads for the woods of
northern Wisconsin.
One purpose of camp is to make
the player concentrate on nothing
but football. In reality, he scarce-ly
has time to do anything else.
Three practice sessions are run
each day, two being full dress
workouts, and one practice without
Together these sessions take four
hours each day. In spare moments
players learn plays and study their
various assignments.
The ordeal of football camp is
hard for all the players, but camp
is brightened by several different
activities scheduled to offset the
drudgery. Cabin inspection, a far-cial
ritual at every football camp, is
a prime example. Most inspections
are designed to encourage cleanli-ness,
but in inspections run by as-sistant
coaches Jerry Oas and Du-ane
Gibson the goal is inducement
of effort.
The amount of effort shown in
cleaning a room is taken into con-sideration,
but what these men are
really looking for is the extra
effort which goes beyond merely
cleaning a cabin.
What the coaches value most
Intramural touch football will
begin Saturday morning as I-M
registration will provide the oppor-tunity
to get team lists posted
earlier. This year, the football
games will be played south of the
fair grounds in the fair parking
lot on Como Avenue.
This new location will permit
morning games and thus not con-flict
with varsity games. There will
also be a change in playing rules
which is designed for the purpose
of increasing the game scores.
The big innovation of the year
will be the addition of an intra-mural
bowling league. Teams will
highly is the offering of "gratui-ties,"
otherwise known as bribes.
The whole inspection ceremony is
handled with a comical attempt at
dignity, and provides a humorous
release for coach and player.
Another institution is the per-formance
of impromptu skits by
the freshmen. The rookie might
sing his high school song, do an im-personation,
or act out a comical
routine. A more serious undertak-ing
is the evening devotional ser-vice
where speakers such as Dr.
Dalton or Dean Olson come up to
share thoughts with the team. On
the last night of camp the players
gather around a campfire for a
time of singing and testimony.
Saturday, August 31, football
camp ended, but the making of the
football team continued. That after-noon
they traveled down to St.
Peter to scrimmage Gustavus Adol-phus.
The Gusties gave the Royals
a difficult workout, and showed
that the squad still had a long
way to go before the first game.
After a Sunday off from practice
the squad began daily practice at
Como Park. This week of practice
prepared the team emotionally and
physically for Saturday's Macal-ester
game. That night Bethel lost
27-0, but was an improvement com-pared
to the opening game de-bacles
of the past two seasons.
The defensive unit looked good,
but the passing attack could not
get untracked. Bethel rooters can
expect more punch through the
air in the upcoming games, and
even though Tom Molin has been
lost for the year, the defense
should remain strong. If an ef-fective
running game can be de-veloped
to complement the passing
game, the Royals should improve
on last year's mediocre record.

Manuals and guides
Whether you're a manager, a fisherman, practitioner or any other fishery stakeholder, our manuals and supplemental guides will help chart your path to a more sustainable and profitable fishery. Our publications highlight how good rights-based management design and accompanying tools can address existing challenges and maximize potential benefits. Most importantly, these tools are not prescriptive; rather they offer a series of questions whose answers help guide and inform the catch share design process.
Design Manuals
Catch Share Design Manual, Volume 1: A Guide for Managers and Fishermen (Second Edition)
The Catch Share Design Manual is the most comprehensive overview of catch share design, drawing on hundreds of fisheries in more than 30 countries and the expertise of more than 60 fishery experts from around the world. Through a series of questions, it provides a step-by-step roadmap for designing a customized catch share program to meet your fishery's goals.
Catch Share Design Manual, Volume 2: Cooperative Catch Shares
Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom popularized the understanding that resource users can, and under right conditions will, engage in co-management of their resources. The Cooperative Catch Shares volume discusses this notion for fisheries and provides important design guidance for managers and fishermen.
Catch Share Design Manual, Volume 3: Territorial Use Rights for Fishing
TURFs date back thousands of years and numerous studies highlight their effectiveness for managing nearshore fisheries. Recent innovations in TURF design, including approaches for scaling management across a broad area, are expanding their appeal and applicability. The TURF volume builds upon this growing experience, offering clear guidance for customized design.
Supplemental Guides
Science-Based Management of Data-Limited Fisheries: A Supplement to the Catch Share Design Manual
The majority of fisheries worldwide lack sufficient data to conduct industry-standard stock assessments and a recent Science paper shows these fisheries are at serious risk. Due to this lack of data, more than 10,000 fisheries worldwide have been left out of recent advances in effective management. This guide outlines an approach for science-based management of fisheries, even in the absence of good data.
Transferable Effort Shares: A Supplement to the Catch Share Design Manual
Transferable effort share programs are a type of rights-based management that share many key attributes of catch shares. While these programs don't provide all the benefits of catch shares, they are often used when fisheries lack key data and may be a useful stepping stone towards catch shares. Before ruling out catch shares due to data constraints, see our guide on data-limited fisheries (see above).
Eliminating Discards
The practice of discarding—or returning a portion of the catch, dead or alive, to the ocean before offloading—has been a wasteful issue in fisheries for decades. As such, discarding is a practice that many fishermen, fishery managers and environmental groups would like to avoid. This guide can help fishery stakeholders align incentives to reduce and potentially eliminate discards through considerations in the design of a secure fishing rights program.
En Español
Manual de Diseño de Manejo Compartido por Cuotas
Es una guía desarrollada exclusivamente por EDF que provee información especializada de diseño para programas de Manejo Compartido por Cuotas. Basado en la experiencia de alrededor de 30 expertos pesqueros de todo el mundo, con la finalidad de facilitar a cualquier persona interesada en el tema, un amplio panorama sobre las distintas opciones de un programa de cuotas y sobre cómo éstas pueden ser adaptadas a una gran variedad de pesquerías.

So my son is almost 7 mo old and we've been doing BLW for almost a month. He is doing well, some days he is interested, other days not so much. Pretty normal from what I understand. I haven't actually read the book yet, so I wanted to make sure I am doing it right.
Basically he gets one "meal" offered a day. All self fed finger foods or pre-loaded spoons. I am not really consistent on what he gets though. Some days its bananas, sweet potatoes, cereal (pre-loaded spoon), or other typical baby type foods (not purees). Other days if we are busy it's just baby mum mums or other snacky type food. Some days he gets what we are having if safe- casseroles, meats, etc.
I guess my concern is that nutritionally its not what other non-BLW moms I know do. They do cereal and jarred baby food routinely every day making sure to get a balance of fruit/veggies, etc. But my understanding of BLW is that it's just for fun and learning and the nutrition still comes from breastmilk. So what do other BLW moms do? Also, when should I start offering it more than once a day? Thanks!!

JPMorgan Chase & Co said on Monday it will contribute up to $2 million to fight racism and support human rights in light of a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that led to violence and the death of a protester.
The sum includes $500,000 each to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League "to further their work in tracking, exposing and fighting hate groups and other extremist organizations," Peter Scher, head of corporate responsibility wrote in a memo to employees that was provided to Reuters by the company.
As much as $1 million more will be contributed in two-for-one matches of donations by employees to "a wide range of human and civil rights organizations," according to the memo.
The bank is also contributing $50,000 to the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation.
Racial conflict in Charlottesville earlier this month was followed by intense political controversy over remarks by President Donald Trump.
Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan, said he "strongly" disagreed with Trump as he and other CEOs moved to disband an advisory panel to the president.
JPMorgan has reacted to a wide range of traumatic events in the past with contributions and matches of employee donations. The events have included the recent Grenfell Tower apartment fire in London, the 2016 Orlando, Florida, gay nightclub mass shooting, earthquakes and tropical storms.

Ronald "Ronnybear" Ahlberg died from complications of muscular dystrophy on Jan. 20 at his home in The Dalles, Ore.
Ron was born in Straubing, Germany, on July 21, 1955, and immigrated to the United States in 1959 with his mother, Isolde (Rachny), and father, Albert Ahlberg. The family settled in Prineville, Ore. where Ron attended school and graduated from Crook County High School in 1973. Ron also attended Mt. Hood Community College and became the first in his family to receive a college diploma. He eventually settled in The Dalles, Ore., where he served his community as a member of the City Council, the School Board, and the Planning Commission.
Diagnosed with muscular dystrophy as a child, Ron always pushed the limits of his body; he liked cars and motorcycles, he traveled throughout the United States, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and he even received an award for scuba diving. A musician in school band (saxophone), Ron developed a lifelong love for music, leading him to become a DJ and radio broadcaster for Central Oregon's KRCO while still in high school. In college he refined his broadcasting talent and also learned the art of multi-media communications. He was ultimately hired by his alma mater as a communications technician and he also did freelance work in broadcasting and media.
Following his retirement from full-time employment, Ron's skill in technology and communications found a new home with the Muscular Dystrophy Association as he divested himself of his time and talents each year to brighten the lives of hundreds of campers and their families at the MDA summer camps. Ron the techie would transform into "Ronnybear" the camp comedian and compassionate friend.
A caring husband, father, and friend, Ron is survived by his wife, Jill Knight-Ahlberg; his children, Mara R. Ahlberg, and Ezekiel T. Ahlberg; and his step-children, Amy Knight and Christopher Knight. He is also survived by his father, Albert & Clara Ahlberg, sister, Debbie (Lee) Ahlberg-Ziegler; brother, Tom (Jenice) Ahlberg; step-brother, Jerry (Justine) Hill; Step-sisters, Sherrie (Ron) Rhoden, and Sheila Small; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Isolde (Rachny) Ahlberg.
In lieu of flowers the family is requesting that donations be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
There will be a viewing on Friday, Jan. 24, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Spencer, Libby & Powell Funeral Home, 1100 Kelly Ave, The Dalles, Ore. Plans for a celebration of life service at Bethany Lutheran to be announced in the coming week.
A graveside service and interment will begin at 2 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 27, at Juniper Haven Cemetery, 1555 N Main St, Prineville, Ore. A reception will follow at New Life Bible Chapel, 510 W. 4th Street.
Ron was an amazing person. I first met him wayback at MDA Summer Camp. He was so incredible with everyone, especially the kids. His spirit will remain in my heart forever. Thanks RonnyBear for all you have given. You are now an angel in heaven with all the other angels, wheelchair free!!!

His team lost, but DeLaet hit 2 magical shots
DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — His team may have lost, but Graham DeLaet won a lot of admirers.
The Canadian made a lot of friends and headlines with his play in the Presidents Cup at Muirfield Village.
DeLaet, who grew up in Saskatchewan and now lives in that well-known golf destination of Boise, Idaho, led the International side with 3 1/2 points after posting a 3-1-1 record.
He paired with Jason Day to win both of their fourballs matches, then the two halved with Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley in a foursomes match completed Sunday morning. DeLaet saved the day by chipping in for birdie on the final hole.
"It was unbelievable," DeLaet said about the shot. "Just one of the coolest feelings in my life, really."
Then DeLaet beat another rookie at international competition, Jordan Spieth, in singles. He sealed his 1-up victory, again on the 18th hole and again with another hole-out, this one by blasting out of the gaping bunker left of the green.
He was draped in the Canadian flag as he left the green.
"Pretty crazy finish the last two times here," he said. "I executed them both well, but there's some luck involved as well. I mean, it's super exciting to finish like that. To win the match here and then to halve the match this morning, it makes it even better."
International captain Nick Price was impressed with DeLaet at a meeting of potential International team members at the Memorial Tournament (also at Muirfield Village) in May.
"We walked out of the meeting and Graham came up to me and says, 'I'm going to make this team. I really want to make this team badly,'" Price said. "He's been a wonderful team player this whole week. Every time he walks into the (team room) he's bouncing. He's got a great disposition and he smiles a lot. And he's a hell of a player."
Even though the U.S. won 18½-15½, DeLaet came away pleased with his play and assured that he can compete with anyone.
"I definitely believe deep inside I feel more confidence in myself now," the 31-year-old said. "These are the best players in the world and this American team is just loaded with talent. To be able to come in here and play well against them means a lot."
DUELING FANS: The International side was outnumbered in cheers, but made up for it with color and wit.
There were two classic lines by the Aussie-based team-support group, The Fanatics, on Sunday.
As Jason Dufner readied to hit his opening drive in singles, wife Amanda walked into the gallery ringing the tee. The Fanatics, dressed in yellow and green to back the International side, immediately broke out in the chorus of, "Is She Really Going Out With Him?"
Dufner paused in a practice swing and glanced over at opponent Brendon de Jonge, who cracked up.
When several of the red-white-and-blue clad American Outlaws fans began chanting, "U-S-A! U-S-A!" the Fanatics countered by reciting, "ABCDEFG ..."
The U.S. contingent of fans also scored some points, however.
When 46-year-old Steve Stricker, who had partnered with the 20-year-old Spieth in the first three rounds, came to the tee, the Outlaws sang, "He's big, he's bad, he could be Jordan Spieth's dad, Steve Strick-er, Steve Strick-er."
Stricker tried to keep a straight face but failed.
After Bill Haas walked to the tee, one enterprising but off-key singer offered, "Well, he's a Bill, Haaas" a riff on "Brick House" by the Commodores.
Not long after that, U.S. captain Fred Couples walked over to the partisan fan contingent in the stands and flipped a U.S. warmup jacket at the singer.
Finally, all week fans had provoked a reaction from players by shouting, "Raise your hand if you've won a major!" They did it to get a smiling Adam Scott to raise his hand almost every day.
Standing near the first tee and welcoming each of the players was 18-time major winner, Muirfield Village designer and unofficial Presidents Cup host Jack Nicklaus.
The fans broke up when someone shouted, "Raise your hand if you've won 18 majors!"
Nicklaus laughed as he lifted his left arm above his head.
When the competition was completed, several International team members donned honorary Fanatics shirts on the 18th green.
STRANGE PAIRING: Perhaps the oddest singles pairing was Tiger Woods, tops in the world rankings, going up against No. 41 Richard Sterne.
The galleries and media were clamoring for Woods to play Adam Scott, No. 2 in the world, or maybe a wily veteran like Angel Cabrera, winner of a couple of major championships during the Woods era.
Instead they got a little (5-foot-7, 150 pounds) and little known South African against the man who makes headlines with everything he does and says.
"It's when people want to go," U.S. captain Fred Couples said. "People just asked me, 'Why did you put Tiger up against Richard?' Personally, Tiger has talked a little about Richard and his game this week. They have not played each other. But it just came to the point where Tiger goes anywhere from seventh to ninth in the singles (so his point will still matter) and we just didn't want to wait any longer. So we put him there."
Still, Woods needed to go to the final hole and the final putt to hold off Sterne 1-up, also clinching the Cup for the United States.
"We made the pairings this morning to try to win the Cup," Price said. "Not to put 1 and 2 together, or 3 and 4 together."
NICK THE FATALIST: His International team trailed 14-8 heading into singles and captain Nick Price knew enough about international competition to recognize the U.S. lead was virtually insurmountable.
Price was emotional as he talked about his team, what it had done so far, and what it would face in singles.
"This has been a really, really strong team from the get-go," he said. "As I look back, they have played their tails off this week. They have played really, really hard. It's disappointing to go into today with a 6-point deficit.
"I'm trying to stay up for my players because they are the ones who have done all the playing, not me. I've been out there on the sideline trying to cheer them on. But, you know, it's going to be a tough day."
It was a tough day in terms of the final result. But his team ended up winning 7½ of the 12 points in singles.
THE WEATHER: It rained, hard at times Sunday, but say this much for the competitors at the Presidents Cup — they played on.
Tiger Woods was playing the third and fourth holes when it began to rain so hard that it was difficult to even see 300 yards up the fairway. But he and Sterne continued on, as did every one of the other 22 players on the course.
The sun never made an appearance, but the temperatures stayed in the 70s and the fans remained supportive.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: International player Jason Day of Australia, who now is a member at Muirfield Village and lives only a few miles away in suburban Columbus: "I'm glad I don't have to fly home."
DIVOTS: Among those watching the singles tee off at No. 1 was Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, whose fourth-ranked Buckeyes won at No. 16 Northwestern 40-30 late on Saturday night. At one point, Meyer, who lives just off the seventh hole at Muirfield Village, posed for pictures with Couples and Nicklaus. ... Tiger Woods' mother, Kultida, greeted him by saying, "Keep it going, baby," as he walked between the fourth green and fifth tee. He just smiled and said, "Hi, mom." ... Woods' girlfriend, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, walked the course with Bill Haas' wife, Julie. The U.S. wives and girlfriends wore matching high, red rubber rain boots. ... Tournament officials handed out "Presidents Cup 2015" pins to media. Stamped on the back: "Made In China." ... For one brief moment on Sunday, the U.S. was 1-1 in completed matches, was leading in seven others, was all-square in two and was behind in only one. Yet the Internationals still made it close. ... Branden Grace and Sterne were each 0-4-0 for the Internationals. ... There were reports of a female strreaker making an appearance on the 14th hole. ... Woods led the Americans with four points and a 4-1-0 record while Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson were each 3-1-0 and Matt Kuchar and Steve Stricker were each 3-2-0. ... In an awkward final moment of the competition, Phil Mickelson at first made Angel Cabrera mark his meaningless (in terms of the team score) 1-foot par putt on the final hole. After Mickelson made hit short bogey putt, the smiled and conceded the putt. ... Woods said his back "acted up on 14 coming in and it just kept getting worse and worse."

Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes are part of this alum's routine
By Amelia Wood ('13)
Starting in March, McNamara walked into the Red Cross position right as Virginia was experiencing the most tornadoes in one season in the commonwealth's history. The tornadoes were only a precursor of the summer to come, yet McNamara says the actions he had to take after the August earthquake and Hurricane Irene, relief efforts seemed almost natural after such an intense welcome.Sweat drips down the brow of Jonathan McNamara ('05) as he sits in his 90-plus-degree office contemplating another sleepless night on a cheap cot smashed into the corner. Another phone call, another meeting, another media interview. Even when the proverbial smoke has cleared from a natural disaster, McNamara's job is only beginning. Hired this past spring as the regional director of donor and media relations for the American Red Cross in Richmond, Va., McNamara spent many nights in his office in the aftermath of the August 2011 earthquake and Hurricane Irene.
For much of the spring, his office operated its essential electronics on a backup generator. McNamara's job was to restore order and deliver supplies to as many people as possible. But, his duties far exceed giving out blankets and bottles of water. He also serves as an external constituent liaison and provides legislative assistance for lobbying bills.
"After a disaster hits we have a responsibility to communicate ... and also to get local business support," says McNamara. Of course, he always looks forward to the end of any disaster cleanup, but he knows that marks the time when the Red Cross focuses on preparing for the next disaster.
When Red Cross teams aren't preparing, they are reflecting on what they have gone through so they can "do the job better," McNamara explains. "JMU's School of Media Arts and Design really enabled me," he insists. "Other university programs hyper focus you, yet SMAD professors and classes prepare you for an ever-changing media environment."
After graduating from JMU, McNamara worked for L-3 Communications/SY Coleman. "We brought some color to the black and white of government contracting," he says. And with the help of fellow SMAD graduate Brian King ('05), McNamara helped form a partnership between SMAD and L-3 for internship and scholarship opportunities. After L-3, McNamara moved to Richmond to work for Patient Services Inc. to help patients with chronic illnesses. He then served as director of storytelling for Media Bond, a video production firm that helps companies, mostly nonprofits, to create advertisements and public service announcements.
McNamara keeps close ties with fellow JMU alumni, not only to network, but also to help him serve the Red Cross effectively and efficiently. His acquaintance with a Richmond-based JMU photography alumnus allows him to maximize his budget since the Red Cross relies heavily on volunteers.
McNamara also works with Sarah Pine ('11), a recent SMAD graduate who concentrated in corporate communications. She works in the public relations sector of the Red Cross.
"I'll do anything I can to help other alumni," says McNamara, who serves as president of the Richmond Chapter of the Duke Club. He also enjoys helping area youth. He is the public addresser for Powhatan County Public Schools and works with teachers to involve students in media coverage of athletics events. McNamara modestly attributes this volunteer effort to SMAD as well. He minored in sports communication and wrote athletics features for the JMU Sports Media Relations office.
McNamara's enthusiasm for JMU's School of Media Arts and Design fuels his desire to promote the program. "I'm a big believer in 'networking is everything,'" he says. His Madison Experience and career path prepared him to meet the challenges of a demanding Red Cross job. "SMAD prepares you to wear many hats and accomplish anything," he says.
