Daniel Morstad, a Sears repre-sentative,
said that "the purpose
of the program was o show the
collegian that Sears has decided to

He went on to say that "Sears
still sells the good old established
lines, but what most young people
don't know is that Sears offers
he latest in today's styles in their
young junior and university shops."
The purpose of the fashion show
on campus, according to Morstad,
is to enable Sears to keep a close
alliance between its fashion board
and the buyer. This helps Sears
to select and stock "the most ex-citing
in apparel."

Taylor, Myrbo Seek Presidency;
School Election Polls Open Today
PHOTOGRAPHER CATCHES junior presidential CHUCK MYRBO, sophomore candidate for student
candidate Greg Taylor hard at work in college presidency, contemplates election chances.
Six senators-at-large and the executive cabinet will be elected in
the All School Elections today and Friday. Polls are open from noon
to 4 p.m. both days.
The failure of two declared candidates to turn in petitions to the
election board trimmed candidates for the six senator-at-large seats
to six. Except for the presidency, all executive offices have only one
declared candidate.
Last Friday's primary reduced the contest for Student Body Pres-ident
to a two-way race between junior Greg Taylor and sophomore
Chuck Myrbo. Taylor polled 88 votes in the primary to lead the field,
while Myrbo followed with 69 to join Taylor in the finals. Larry Day,
with 56 votes, was eliminated from the race.
Candidates for other executive offices are Dave Shupe, vice-presi-dent;
Cindy Simkins, treasurer; and Ed Soule, campus coordinator. ED SOULE and CINDY SIMKINS,

The College Conference on the

According to Dave Wedeking,
chairman of the committee plan-ning

of the conference is primarily to

for vocational choice, and second-ly
to acquaint those considering
church related work with the fa-cilties

however, as out-of-bounds by

Many long-time Democrats have

They comprise an import-ant
leadership sector in his camp.
The other sector is made up
mainly of new-comers who object

not have presidential primaries.
It is important to realize that
only one-third of the delegates to
the Democratic national convention
are chosen by primaries. The
others emerge from the smoke-filled
back rooms where party of-ficials
always have great influence.
In recent years qualified individuals interested in taking
the reigns of student government or the editorship of the vari-ous
student publications have been in short supply. The prob-lem
is obvious, yet concrete efforts to alleviate it have been
nearly nonexistent.
Elections have again focused attention on the shortage
of candidates for senate and executive offices. There are sel-dom
more than three or four candidates for the presidency,
although additional students would have declared this year if
academic requirements had been removed. Hard times have
fallen upon publications, too, and here the dearth of ready,
willing, and able leadership has, at times, been even more
Stipends of varying amounts have been allocated for stu-dent
body president, and CLARION, SPIRE, and COEVIL edi-tors,
but they have often accomplished little more than insuring
that someone will somehow be persuaded to take the job. Al-though
the financial renumeration is modest it is not so inade-quate
that qualified students would not consider the above
positions solely for that reason.
The senate attempted to "encourage" participation in stu-dent
government by proposing an amendment that would eli-minate
academic qualifications from office holding. Such a
measure is unsound, and was so judged by the student body
which decisively rejected the change. Hopefully, there are
more progressive measures which might ease the problem.
It is true, as the proponents of the amendment argued,
that such a change would increase the number of candidates
seeking student government posts, particularly the presidency.
They point out that apparently students who have distinguished
themselves academically, who have shown leadership potential,
or who seem well-qualified for office, too often have no desire
to involve themselves with student government. A similar situ-ation
exists in student publications.
Consequently, the student body complains about student
government, is dissatisfied with the choice of candidates run-ning
for election, bemoans a literary magazine that unobtru-sively
slips out at the end of the year, and finds a good
deal of other shortcomings with their publications and govern-ment.
Too many observers see this problem as simply a lack of
individuals willing to perform certain tasks. However, the real
problem is not this shortage, but the reasons for it. WHY are
qualified students unwilling to assume the responsibility of
these positions?
If the reasons underlying this reluctance are viewed as
the real problem, it becomes apparent that efforts to lower
qualifications could fill positions but would only elude any
meaningful solution. It is not the qualifications or standards
that pertain to particular positions which need re-evaluation;
rather the existing system of renumeration must be re-assessed
if publication editorships and the student presidency are to
consistently attract top students.
NEXT WEEK: what changes need to be made. L. B.
As the warm breezes of spring descend on the
Bethel campus and as the frozen northern tudra
thaws to reveal a idyllic Garden of Eden, the student
mind flees the concern of the academic world. The
heart pulsates at the thought of spring and at the
sight of happy Bethelites frolicking on the campus.
However, as one drifts back to reality, ones
blissfully bucolic bubble is burst by the prospect
of the upcoming senate elections. That militant
group of political radicals heretofore confined to
the dank recesses of the College building base-ment
will force its presence upon us as we are
faced with the problems of selecting senate offi-cers
for next year.
The problems of the senate are perennial. The
most obvious is the dearth of candidates vying for
senate positions reflecting the general lack of inter-est
in senate activities. This year, however, we are
fortunate to have at least one candidate for every
office and the current tooth and nail struggle between
the six candidates for senator-at-large contending
for six offices promises to be of interest.
As a testimony of the high quality education
at Bethel, there also appears to be an absence of
relevant issues; all the meaningful questions have
been answered. With the possible exception of the
debate on the role of student senate, candidates
frankly admit that there are no issues facing sen-ate
and it seems unthinkable that senate should
try to create any.
The senate also suffers from lack of power. Un-able
to deal with the weighty issues, senate has
been called a "service club" by some and a variety
of less complimentary things by others. Unable to
enlist the support of students or administration, the
senate currently has about as much influence as a
pacifist in a street brawl.
These and other problems have caused many
to rumor a "Senate-is-Dead" movement, the total
negation of all organized student government on
Bethel's campus.
However, senate has become an institution — if
nothing else — and it must be saved at all costs. The
solution to the whole problem is to convert senate

banners brought mostly laughter.
Now, however, McCarthy is given
serious consideration and coverage.
What happened to bring about
this change? The answer is suc-cess—
limited but meaningful suc-cess.
On March 5 McCarthy forces
began the take-over of large por
tions of the Minnesota Democra-tic
Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) by
winning many precinct caucuses.
The three Congressional Dis-tricts
that comprise the Twin
City and suburban area went
overwhelmingly to McCarthy.
Since a precinct is the smallest
official organization unit in the
DFL (e.g., Falcon Heights pre-cinct
2 is bounded by Snelling,
Larpenteur, Hamline, and Hoyt),
the take-over began at the
"grass-roots" level.
On March 12 McCarthy scored
another "victory" in the New
Hampshire primary. Although he
polled less votes than LBJ (49 per-cent
to 42 percent) in the Demo-cratic
primary, the amazing thing
was that McCarthy received such
a large percentage against an in-cumbent
president who had the de-clared
backing of the state's Dem-ocratic
officials. One newspaper re-port
said that, counting the write-in
votes for McCarthy in the Re-publican
half of the New Hamp-shire
primary, Senator McCarthy
came within 312 votes of LBJ.
Senator McCarthy is clearly a
rebel within present Democratic
The over-all national co-ordina-tion
for the McCarthy campaign
has come from several groups car-rying
such names as Concerned
Democrats. These groups have been
planning anti-administration action
within the Democratic Party for
some time.
They presently carry respon-sibility
for co-ordinating the
growing and complex anti-Viet-nam
war and anti-LBJ move-ment.
Excellent organization
from the national to the precinr,
level has been a vital key to the
McCarthy success..
The blossoming McCarthy suc-cess
has limitations that political
realists are quick to point out. First
and foremost the pro-McCarthy men
face pro-Johnson Democratic lea-dership
all over the nation.
The political future of many
of these officials rides with the
success or failure of LBJ (or so
they think). They can use their
official positions to influence
policies rather decissively. Pres-ent
Democratic leadership is
extremely important in deter-mining
policy and candidate de-cisions
in those states which do
This leaves McCarthy some-where
outside the American poli-tical
continuum as they see it, for
McCarthy's positions are more
those of a Northern (sub)urban
liberal. Southern Democrats are
more likely to support George
Wallace than Eugene McCarthy.
To further complicate matters,
mop-haired, youth-idol (?), poli-tical
opportunist (?), "Bobby"
Kennedy has tossed his name
into the rapidly filling candidate
hopper. Undoubtedly he repre-sents
power—dynastic power and
popularity power.
In this respect he could be a
valuable ally in the Democratic an-ti-
LBJ movement. But he has en-tered
some state primaries as a
potential enemy of McCarthy. This
could split the anti-LBJ movement
and make it ineffective.

Carthy movement is that other

Student 'River of Free Labor'
Changes Nation's Political Scene
New York, New York, March 13,
1968—The dynamic campaign ef-fort
by college students from all
over the country clearly played
a vital role in Senator Eugene Mc-
Carthy's impressive showing in the
New Hampshire primary. Well over
a thousand students took on the
full gamut of campaign jobs —
from ringing door bells and writ-ing
speeches, to driving cars and
licking stamps. Many observers be-lieve
the students' enthusiasm also
had a significant psychological ef-fect
on the campaign.
Reaction to this student political
activism was widespread in both
pre- and post-election analysis.
Just prior to the New Hampshire
vote, Mary McGory wrote in her
nationally syndicated column that
McCarthy's student support was "a
river of free labor that could
change the face of American poli-ties."
Most of the election-night com-mentators
referred to the sudents ;
and in is lead editorial this mor-ning,
the New York Times stated
that the McCarthy victory was "a
testament to the efforts of the
students and other citizens who
enlisted in his campaign for
Perhaps the most important con-clusion
to be drawn from this first
1968 primary is not related either
to the candidates or the issues. It
is very possibly something much
broader. Namely that effective, ar-ticulate
expression of political
opinion by students, combined with
their active participation in the
political process, can significantly
affect the outcome of elections and
the shape of American politics.
A second conclusion is equally
irrefutable. Massive student parti-cipation
in CHOICE 68 can and will
affect the course of American poli-tics
in 1968.

first hearing, but a conscientious consideration of the
pragmatic aspects of the situation will prove the
First, since senate has no issues, no power, and
no participation its presence on campus would not
be missed.
Second, by becoming a gospel team the senate
could bolster its power. Since in its new function it
would appeal to the constituency and since the con ,
stituency is the real source of power at Bethel, such
a move would create influence for the group.
Also by taking a free-will offering at the local
churches, senate could become self-supporting and
perhaps even initiate a scholarship fund for needy
faculty and administration members.
Third, senate could effectively enlist student sup-port.
By the marked decline in attendance from chapel
to covocation, it is obvious that the Bethel student is
much more interested in religion than in politics.
Also since choral groups and gospel teams are quite
popular on campus and since the new senate would,
combine both of these features, it could become the
most sought after group among students.
Fourth, this would alleviate the problems of
spring elections. Instead of the usual political
speeches and campaigning, we could audition candi-dates
for office.
The president would have to be an able preacher,
the campus coordinator would have to be an expert
song leader, the treasurer would have to know the
proper techniques for speaking for an offering, and
the secretary would have to know how to play the
The senators-at-large would have to form a

Realizing that such a plan will not meet with
sweeping success 'among intellectuals or political
purists—they're only an insignificant minority any-how—
the pragmatic benefits, which far outweigh the
theoretical objections, will commend this plan to the
mass of voters.

Stagg Explains Unique Qualities
Of Japanese Dramatic Literature Senate Candidates State Positions
4 •
by Dave Stagg Bethel Contemplates Spring Election
The performance days of the
Japanese Dramas are fast ap-proaching,
and some word of ex-planation
as to the aims and out-look
of such a production may be
of value to the Bethel audience.
This production is not an at-tempt
to duplicate the perfection
of a Theatre that has developed
in a consistent style over a per-iod
of 700 years. It is rather, an
effort to bring to the Partici-pants
and Audience both, a cer-tain
number of the qualities of
this style.
The use of the original Japanese
dramatic literature (in translation) ;
with its lyrical mode and almost
austere content, the beauty of the
costuming, and a unique relation-ship
between the dialogue and the
action that does not exist in this
particular manner in the history
of the western theatre, are some
of the qualities that this produc-tion
is attempting to reveal. The
audience should come expecting to
be exposed to a certain flavor of
the Japanese theatre, not its dup-lication
in toto.
One should come noticing the
mood and setting established by
the lights and staging arrange-ments
and music, the distinc-tions
revealed by costume differ-ences
between characters, as
well as other distinctions of so-cial
position and status.
The particular relationship be-tween
the speaker and the one who
is acting out the words is one
which must be understood to gain

One last item that is of inter-est,
is the use of dance in the
Japanese theatre in the explana-tion
of the plot. For various rea-sons,
we are not able to use a
great deal of this art.
The most important of these is
the fact that the dance is recorded
no where but in the minds of those
great Japanese masters who have
spent their entire lives (and the
generations of their families before
them) in the learning and perfec-tion
of this amazing art. Neverthe-less,
the smooth lyrical qualities
of the dance is something we have
tried to capture, in part.
It is hoped that the Bethel audi-ence
will gain some cultural ana
aesthetic benefit from this pro-duction,
based on the beauty am
grace of a theatre tradition as
unique as any in the world.
by Tom Mesaros
Last Friday night the Bethel
community heard the political
philosophies of some of the can-didates
running for office in this
week's All School Election. Six out
of eleven candidates attended the
coffee shop gathering.
Beginning with candidates for
senator-at-large, Warren Magnu-son
exclaimed that he intended to
do "a good job" if elected. His
idea of a "good job" consisted of
two elements: attendance at all sen-ate
meetings, and fair considera-tion
of all issues before the Sen-ate.
"Please vote for me," Warren ;
promising to do his best, appealed
to the students in his closing
Leonard Sammons, the next
speaker, saw the senate as a
failure now, yesterday, and to-morrow.
Feeling that the Senate
will never amount to anything
due to great opposition. Leon-ard
said that we still must
TRY as a student body, and that
he would TRY as a senator.
He sees the school as three
parts with three purposes: faculty,
which teaches; students, who
learn; and the administration,
which makes its all possible. He
feels that the students need a
voice to communicate with the
other two branches of the school
structure; this voice is a senate
comprised 'of responsible students.
When questioned, Leonard sta-ted
that his basic goal was "the
college at its very best." In clos-ing
Leonard suggested that stu-dents
look for his platform in
the P.O.'s this week.
Wayne Eller, the last candidate
for senator-at-large to speak, ap-proached
his audience by stating
that he might have withdrawn
from the race but had decided to
stay in it in order to please his
mother and to have something
good on his record.
Wayne suggested that we have
inter - campus activities with
other schools such as Hamline,
Macalester, and Augsburg; by
doing this we can promote Beth-el
to students at these schools
and gain their respect for Bethel
as an educational institution.
Wayne also felt concern f o r
more student participation in the
daily chapels. Labeling chapel
"Pastor Glenn's Amateur Hour,"
Wayne felt that sometimes the
spiritual hour on campus did
not reach college caliber.
A time for questions was then
held for the three senatorial can
didates present. One dominant
question was student participatioA
in reviewing and selecting faculty
Wayne strongly believed that
students did not have the capa-bilities
for such responsibility.
His opinion was that "we are at
Bethel to achieve these capabili-ties
but not until we have the
education of our superiors will
we be able to judge the faculty."
Leonard disagreed. Pointing to
the fact that students are the ones
in the classrooms, Leonard stated
that the sudents knew where aca-demic
help was needed. Further-more,
Leonard cited that European
students were at one time the ad-ministrations
of institutions and
controlled the 'selection of the fac-ulty.
Candidates for cabinet offices
followed the senator-at-large can-.
didates. The only candidate for
campus coordinator, Ed Soule, was
first to explain his position. Ed
felt qualified because of his close
friendship with Larry Day, the in-cumbent
in this office. Feeling that
friendship helped him acquire
knowledge for the job, Ed proceed-ed
to explain what the position
The main purpose of the campus
coordinator is setting up the cal-endar
for the year's activities. Any-one
wishing to put something on
the school calendar must work
through him. Ed mentioned that
the campus coordinator would have
the resonsibility of setting up in-ter-
campus activities of the type
suggested by Wayne Eller earlier
in the program.
Chuck Mybro, running for the
presidentcy of the 'student body,
was next to speak. Chuck sees the
senate as a service organization.
Citing the many functions of the
senate (e.g., sponsoring homecom-ing,
Spire, Coeval, etc.), Chuck
pointed out that the senate was
really a help to the administra-tion
and school because it does a
great deal of work which the school
would otherwise have to pay some-one
else to do.
Chuck went on to say that our
senate is like other senates in
other schools except that it does
not possess policy making pow-ers
as other senates possess
these powers.
Since the senate is not able to
perform its proper function of
representing the students because
of administrative "ready-made" de-cisions
presented "to the student
body as unquestionable facts of
life," Chuck stated that two prob-lems
have resulted: t h e senate
isn't serving its proper function,
and, secondly, most students are
unaware that it is serving any func-tion
at all.
His antedote to these prob-lems
are positive, imaginative,
and responsible leadership.
Chuck stressed that he would
and could get the senate pointed
in the right direction.
Presidential candidate Greg Tay-lor
was the final speaker of the
evening. Greg remarked that Beth-el
had been drifting in the absence
of a permanent dean. To get go-ing
again, Bethel needs a dean,
more purpose than that of build-ing
a new campus, and more of
a Christian witness to the commu-nity.
Greg compared the school to
a blast furnace which needed re-building,
suggesting that if re-pair
did not come soon, the
implement would be irrepar-able.
Students can help in the
rebuilding through a responsi-ble
and concerned senate under
responsible leadership.
A question period for the pres-idential
candidates followed their
remarks. An important question di-rected
to Greg was "What is the
need for a senate?" He answered
that it was needed as a link be-tween
administration and students
plus a structure between students
and the outside world; responsi-bility
will make it effective.
Chuck's answer consisted of
an initial statement that the ad-ministration
needed the senate
to promote the activities he
mentioned earlier; however, it is
a STUDENT senate and should
be a student force reflecting
student opinions.
The general questions of student
power coupled with student apa-thy
and how this affects Bethel
as a Christian school hung over
the crowd. Chuck felt that stu-dents
should not be denied some
authority just because Bethel was
a Christian college. He considered
the Christian tie as a close bond
which could promote more under-standing
in this area.
Greg, however, took a different
approach. Feeling that the student
power push got no where this year
because it did not have a cause,
Greg admitted that this year had
been a poor one for issues. No one
wants to get involved in poor is-sues
so not one got involved in the
poor senate. But Greg appeared
confident that, as president, he
could help initiate issues that
would counteract current problems
of apathy on campus.

Off Campus No. 2, the dark
horse of the I-M tournament, came
from behind to tip Falcon 61-57.
After jumping out of the frying
pan of First Floor with a one point
victory upset, O.C. No. 2 jumped
into the Falcon fire and started
out cold.
Managing only two field goals
in the first ten minutes, the under-dogs
fell behind by as much as 11
points. Then as Falcon cooled off
a bit, Steve Peterson and Tom
Swanson combined their shooting
talents to bring them within four
at the half, 31-27. Fred Swedberg
led the Falcon attack with 13 in
the first half while Paul Johnson
added eight. Steve and Tom had
nine and seven respectively.
The second half started out
with a cool deliberate game by
both teams. They each played
good ball on even terms. Then
with about five minutes left,
0. C. No. 2 started chipping
away the Falcon lead.
With only a couple minutes left,
they pulled ahead to become the
tournament champions with a 61-
57 victory. Steve Peterson's 14
points in the last half gave him
game honors with 23 points. John
Delich tallied nine points in the
winning half.
Fred Swedberg finished with 21
for the losers and Paul V. John-son
ended with 14. The game was
one of the better played of the
season and John Carmean and
Al Selader did a very commend-able
job behind the whistles.
In the preliminary, First Floor
B team outscored the B league all-stars
30-12 to walk away by a
score of 54-29. Larry Swanson and
Jim Carlson had 13 and 12 for
the victors, while Pit's Larry Van
Epps had ten for the stars.
Borner Releases
Intramural Plans
Co-ed Badminton is starting this
week. Second New's Don Lindberg
and Miss Morgan are the favorites
along with Miss Starr of the Fac-ulty
who is paired with John Car-mean.
Matches will be played any
time the gym is open with Wed-nesday
evenings holding priority.
Volleyball will hopefully start
next week with the action taking
place on Mondays and Thursdays.
The sign-up sheet for wrestling
will be up for one more week.
There are still golden opportuni-ties
at the 157, 177, and 191 weight
classes. First Floor has representa-tives
for seven of the eight class-es.
There will be bowling and soft-ball
if enough interest is shown.
Support your team. Some of them
need it.

Toyota ShareLunker 508 Sets New Record for Lake Austin
16.03-pound bass ranks 22 in Top 50 list of big bass caught in Texas
ATHENS—T.J. Nissen of Austin holds the new record for Lake Austin after catching a 16.03-pound bass late in the day on January 27.
Nissen was fishing in four to five feet of 49-degree water when the fish took his crankbait. The fish is 28.25 inches long and 21.75 inches in girth. Only three other fish entered into the Toyota ShareLunker program have been that long.
Lake Austin is traditionally drawn down in January so lakeside property owners can do maintenance work on docks and bulkheads and to expose aquatic vegetation to freezing temperatures as a control measure. That poses a problem for anglers, since all the boat ramps are out of the water and unusable.
But where there's a will, there's a way. "The only way you can get in is with a kayak or a V-bottom boat or a flat-bottom boat," Nissen said. "We bought one a couple of years ago specifically for this."
Forethought paid off with a new lake record largemouth bass that ranks No. 22 on the list of 50 biggest bass caught in Texas. "I threw a big crankbait up under a dock, and she hammered it on about the third crank," Nissen said. "It made a bunch of runs and shook its head three times. We didn't have a net, but luckily I had a partner in the boat who was willing to take as many treble hooks in the hand as he had to to get her in the boat. Once we got her in the boat, we just stood there and stared, wondering what to do next."
The small boat did not have a livewell, but Nissen had the next best thing: Friends who were willing to do whatever it took to keep the big fish alive. "I started calling friends and saying, 'We need some help. We need an ice chest and an aerator.' All my buddies came through, and my wife came down and brought us pizza while we waited for [Texas Parks and Wildlife Department] to show up. It was fantastic."
In the 25-year history of the ShareLunker program, only 19 fish entered into the program (including Nissen's) have weighed 16 pounds or more. [Nissen's fish ranks No. 22 on the Top 50 list because some of the fish on that list were not entered into the ShareLunker program.] Only five of the 19 [including Nissen's] were caught before the end of January, and three of those catches came during the month of January. The most recent was the current state record of 18.18 caught by Barry St. Clair January 24, 1992.
Three 16-pound-plus fish have been caught in the last 10 months, and that fact is causing some raised eyebrows among Texas Parks and Wildlife Department fisheries biologists. A 16-pound fish could easily top 18 pounds when the eggs it is carrying are fully mature, and that process is just getting under way as water temperatures warm and days grow longer. "Will we see a new state record caught this year? I wonder," said ShareLunker program manager David Campbell.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between October 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours.
Anglers entering fish into the Toyota ShareLunker program receive a free replica of their fish, a certificate and ShareLunker clothing and are recognized at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens.
For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last year's season, see tpwd.texas.gov/sharelunker. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.
Information on current catches, including short videos of interviews with anglers when available, is posted on www.facebook.com/sharelunkerprogram.
The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects.

new beginnings, and the Fairy Hobmother
*taps microphone*
Anyone still there?
If so, you have the patience of a saint, and your reward is a nice, big piece of chocolate cake.
I've been busy, a bit unwell, and generally all over the place of late, so blogging hasn't been high on my list of priorities, as you've most probably noticed. Maybe.
Anyway, I thought I'd break my deafening silence to let you know about two things. One - is that I haven't been entirely idle all this time. Not quite. In yet another burst of wine-fuelled insanity, I've started another blog, over here: http://www.akentishkitchen.co.uk/ (Twitter ID @akentishkitchen). *End of shameless plug*
Two - you might have seen, around and about the blogosphere, that the Fairy Hobmother (aka Appliances Online, who sell cookers and other white goods) has been dishing out surprise kitchen appliance gifts to unsuspecting bloggers. Well, I'm happy to say that the Hobmother - actually called Dave, but we'll overlook that for the moment - would like to pay a similar visit to one super-lucky person who comments on this post.
So what are you waiting for? Get commenting. I don't mind what you say, but if you'd give me some feedback on the new blog, then so much the better. And please keep it clean. The Fairy Hobmother certainly won't visit you otherwise.
Good luck. Over and out.

- Kate@katescakesandbakes said...
Wine-fuelled new blogs can only be Very Good Things in life! If Fairy HobMother Dave does fancy paying a visit, he would be most welcome. And probably get a piece of cake.
- 6 July 2011 at 15:39
Well now, any comment here is going to look like a desperate and shameless attempt at getting an appliance, but the fact is I have been waiting for you to return to blogging for a while now so would TOTALLY have commented on this post anyway. I'm so glad you are back. Oh, and I couldn't take a photo cos I was in a bad rush but I saw ox tongue in Waitrose yesterday. And I thought of you. Nice, hey?
Glad you're back :)

You were brought to my attention by Francoise Murat on Twitter:) Lo and behold appliancesonline was recommended to me today by a friend who was recommended to them by one of her customers! I certainly love both your new and 'old' blog. The new blog which I think is so clear, clean and crisp. Definitely going to try the Duck Egg and Asparagus. Your photos are excellent and as I need receipe ideas for my 13 yr old fussy eater who has been advised by the Dr to follow a more healthy eating regime (extremely fussy eater!!!) I shall be following and trying out your receipes or maybe he will as he does like to have a go at cooking:) Having seen what the Fairy Hobmother has to offer a A/A rated cooker would most certainly be appreciated:) But full of appreciation to you for the receipe ideas.

As for the Fairy HobMother, I wouldn't say no to an ice cream maker. It is the summer after all!
- 7 July 2011 at 11:03
Oh my goodness all this talk of food has made me hungry - really hungry! I have to say your lovely photo of the sardines has now reminded me of the makeral and potato salad I decided to knock up late last night for my lunch :o)
Can't wait for lunchtime now

I'm not just commenting to enter - also to say good to see you back! But, well, I do kind of need a fridge freezer and a toaster and GOSH - loads of stuff - life is hard when society allows you to move in with your boyfriend before getting married, removing the wedding gifts. Le sigh. Good to see you back, anyway. :)
- 7 July 2011 at 11:37
Gorgeous, wonderful,outstanding, delicious hyperbole. I would love to win an appliance but I love your blog more.
Tru dat.

- The Viking said...
For some reason, I'm sorely tempted to ask you for permission to print out a giant copy of the picture of those sardines so I can mount it and hang it on the wall of the new Viking Kitchen. Seriously!
I'm really enjoying the new blog, AFoS - hoping to get to Borough Market and get me some wood pigeon this afternoon!
- 7 July 2011 at 12:49

Wow, TWO blogs! Loving the look of the new one, look forward to reading more.
I would love to be paid a visit by the Fairy Hobmother. I am severely lacking in any kitchen appliances but covet anything coffee related....

Great new blog - good luck keeping two up, I barely have time for the one.
The Hobmother is a great name and I hope to get visited by her/him.
- 8 July 2011 at 11:59
- Bistro Becs said...
Fab new blog - good luck keeping two of them on the go though, I barely maintain my single blog!
The Hobmother is a great, fun concept and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that I get paid a visit.

- things we make said...
I love the new blog and are gald you are back in the blogging seat. The style and images are just perfect and your words are always informative but with an amusing edge.
Plus, now you have converted to Wordpress I won't have to try and read the funny wobbly letters to prove that I am not a robot.
I wonder if you are going to keep both blogs going like some split personality blogger fiend...I quite like the idea of having 2 blogs so I can be all ranty and sweary on an alter ego blog!
- 8 July 2011 at 15:19
- Foodycat said...
I hope you are feeling better!
The photography on the new blog is amazing - those sardines look so appetising!
- 9 July 2011 at 20:30
- Sarah said...
What inspired you to start the new blog? Just curious how it will be different from this one (I always loved this blog, so will be reading both regardless :)
The sardines in the first post over there look so lovely. As a relative sardine newbie: are you able to eat the whole thing (bones, head) or do you pick the meat off around the bones?
- 10 July 2011 at 17:03
- would like to be a yummy mummy said...
Love the blog, its my first visit but will be back.
Sorry fairy HobMother, I don't want you to think I am stalking you or that I am greedy but I really could do with a new washing machine. I am down to one cycle working and could really do without it breaking this month! Please please sprinkle your fairy dust this way...I would be very grateful xxxx
- 11 July 2011 at 20:19
- Julianna Barnaby said...
Impressive photos on the new site, made me dribble just looking at them! Even the cherries which *shock horror* Im not normally a fan of at all.
Two blogs. You are crazy. But inspirational!

- Dan said...
Hi Helen, I had no idea you had a new blog. So I'm glad you directed me here. It's lovely, very clean looking and superb photography. I like the cut of it's jib. Obviously I'll add it to my reading list.
As for the Fairy Hobmother, I'd absolutely love a KitchenAid stand Mixer, preferably in Black. Or, a Magimix Ice Cream Maker, or a KitchenAid one...basically any one (invariably expensive)that works at the flick of a switch and doesn't require me to freeze a bowl for days before I can use it.

Love the new blog dearest, especially the Kentish asparagus & duck egg recipe. Just to plug my adoptive home county of Norfolk, during asaparagus season there's nothing more luxurious than Norfolk asaparagus and a fried goose egg - heaven knows what my cholesterol must be like, but it's bliss.
- 14 July 2011 at 16:10

I've had something from the fairy, but wanted to say that your new blog is wonderful! I didn't know that was yours, and was thinking what nice photos etc.
- 16 July 2011 at 12:21
- Karol said...
I love your new site. Does this mean you are going to run both or let this one fade away? We all hope not! It takes so much effort to get a blog ranked and get traffic, I'm puzzled why you would start over with a new one. Anyway, good luck with your new venture~ I'll be by.

If Dave is still passing out goodies, I would love a juicer. I recently watched a documentary "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" that extolled the virtues of juicing. Showed a couple of guys who really turned their life around with it and I'd love to get started!
How will Dave get in touch with me after I've won? :)

THE latest instalment of comedy in Taunton was a barrel of laughs as five comedians left an intimate crowd in stitches at Brazz last night.
MC Geoff Whiting kick-started the giggles, leaving no hiding places for the crowd as he poked fun at people's age, relationships, jobs and looks.
His witty act teed up Iszi Lawrence perfectly, who struck a balance between how far she could push the audience with sexual references and jibes at Bridgwater.
Iszi Lawrence
Her wacky style on stage was well received by a crowd just shy of 100 and her 20-minute act was a joy to watch.
As the saying goes, good things come in small packages, and the surprise of the night for me was Bruce Cochrane.
At first, I thought the 'compact' bald figure on stage looked over-awed but he soon changed that opinion.
His comedy delves into a light-hearted view on being blown up on military service and short man's syndrome.

Next up was comedian-come-magician Tim 'TJ' Shoesmith who tested out the crowd with some Derren Brown-style magic as he guessed numbers and animals that people were thinking of.
His set was only short but it provided a nice change to the conventional stand-up comic act and his sharp performance dished up something a bit different for the audience to get their teeth into.
Finally, the headliner Howard Read ended the show with a side-splitting set as he mixed observational comedy with stories about his family.

Howard, who has performed on the Royal Variety Show, also broke his act up well with a funny lullaby about monsters under the bed which his father used to read to him before he went to sleep.
He topped off another excellent night of comedy, once again supported well by a bubbly Taunton crowd who were kept on their toes in between the acts thanks to the ever-impressive Geoff Whiting.

"THE GAME" - (9:30-10:00 p.m. ET)
"Away Game" (TV-PG, DL) (HDTV)
SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO? - Derwin (Pooch Hall) invites Melanie (Tia Mowry) to his first away game in Miami, but due to her heavy school load, she decides to pass. When Tasha (Wendy Raquel Robinson) and Kelly (Brittany Daniel) find out she is not going, they persuade her to change her mind by telling her away games are a play ground for cheating. Meanwhile, Derwin's teammates are upset that he invited Melanie and tell him he needs to un-invite her, fearing the other wives will use her as a spy. Coby Bell and Hosea Chanchez also star. Ted Wass directed the episode written by Chuck Ranberg and Anne Flett-Giordano (#40596-002).

Source Naturals Melatonin 2.5mg Sublingual Peppermint, 240 Tabs
Melatonin 2.5 mg Sublingual Peppermint
Melatonin is a neurohormone produced in humans by the pineal gland. A favorite of travelers, it governs the body's circadian rhythms, helping the body to ease into restful sleep. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant.
Source Naturals Timed Release Melatonin is formulated to allow for a gradual release of the active ingredient during an approximate six hour period. This provides the body with a more even absorption of melatonin.
Some nutrients may break down during liver metabolism. The sublingual form is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, via the blood vessels under the tongue and in the cheeks, bypassing the liver and allowing for quick entry into the system.
*This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Suggested Use: 1 tablet at bedtime; 1/2 tablet may be sufficient for some people. Do not take more than 2 tablets daily. Place tablet under the tongue and allow to dissolve slowly altering the position of the tablet to avoid prolonged contact with the same area.

Perhaps because Dr. Dobb's has been around since 1975, I frequently get letters from readers to the effect that they've been programming 20|30|40 years and a current practice mentioned in an article is no different than what was being done in programming decades ago. I rarely publish these curmudgeonly dismissals of current practice because, in my view, they are almost always significant distortions of a superficial similarity. The most common attack I hear is that some Agile practice is nothing new, "we were doing that in the 1980s." That is almost always a fallacy. I hesitate only over the qualifier "always."
Programmers who worked in the 1980s know that even the most basic best practices and tools needed for Agile did not exist then. For example, most sites had no formal version control system. Version control was generally done by saving files using names containing dates, so you could go back to an earlier version on the basis of date (rather than what was changed). Once you were assured the current code more or less worked, you were encouraged to get rid of the date-marked intermediate versions. There was no pervasive ability to attribute code changes to a specific person because there was no way to track who had done what. Likewise, build management was not viewed as a discipline unto itself and there were few tools that enabled you to recreate an earlier version of a product because few shops kept track of what versions of components went into what release.
The concept of short sprints also did not exist at most sites. Actually, sprints of any kind were unknown. And modern practices such as continuous integration did not come into the common experience of developers until some twenty years later.
But perhaps the most telling difference between then and now was the view of the user. Up through the beginning of this century, the general IT view of the user was a sort of indulgent condescension. Users were seen as a necessary evil. They were certainly not people you'd encourage to participate in regular product reviews and provide constant feedback.
Without the practices of regular user feedback, short development cycles, continuous integration, and tools like version control, there was no ability to respond quickly to changing requirements. Consequently, there was no agility. Things that look like or smell like agility in such an environment are merely coincidental in appearance. However, even as far back as 1968, it was becoming clear to the folks who had eyes to see that the aforementioned model (despite its persistence as a valid approach for decades more) was not workable and in need of change. Here are some quotations on point taken from a report from a 1968 NATO software engineering conference (note that the full report is a 136-page PDF that loads slowly.)
"We are starting gradually, and building up. My motto is 'do something small, useful, now.' Large systems must evolve, and cannot be produced all at one time. You must have an initial small core system that works really well."
And later technology approaches were anticipated: "System testing should be automated as well. A collection of executable programs should be produced and maintained to exercise all parts of the system...As an output of a test validation run, each test should list the modules it has exercised, and as well, should list the interfaces and tables it has tested. It is important to document success, as well as failure."
The report itself communicates a gathering dissatisfaction with the waterfall model of that era, which was highly focused on requirements gathering, design, and implementation as separate and distinct stages. There was also great concern that as program size grew, this approach would become increasingly unmanageable. The concern was primarily expressed in terms of cost and schedule, rather than anything else. Satisfying the user was considered a given via the requirements stage. So there was no strong feeling about the need for a methodology that enabled changes to occur during the development phase. The closest anyone comes (in my scan of the document) is this statement: "Users are interested in systems requirements and buy systems in that way. But that implies that they are able to say what they want. Most of the users aren't able to. We should have feedback from users early in the design process." Not exactly a full embrace, is it?
We can see that the idea of constant user involvement had not yet emerged even among leading adopters. And there lies the crucial factor. Today, we operate profoundly differently, not just because we have better technology (although certainly that's a major contributor) and better development practices, but because we have a user-centered approach to development. In that sense, modern practices are different, in fact fundamentally different, from those of previous generations.

Joss Whedon: 12 days to film 'Much Ado About Nothing'
Over the past 20 years, writer-director Joss Whedon has established himself as a champion of the outsider, and for a long time that's exactly what he was in Hollywood. He traveled in his own orbit, collaborating with the same group of under-the-radar actors while amassing a large-yet-fringy fan base for smartly written sci-fi television shows, such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel" and "Firefly."
So when Whedon landed directing duties on 2012's "The Avengers," a surefire hit with a budget in the hundreds of millions, his devotees celebrated the real-life underdog success story. But there was some fear, too. Would Whedon get absorbed into the mainstream and lose touch with his nonconformist roots?
A little over a year after "The Avengers" became the highest-grossing film of 2012 (and third-highest grossing movie ever worldwide), the answer seems to be a resolute no. Whedon's latest is anything but conventional. The black-and-white adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" follows Whedon's prototypical approach to directing: It's a passion project that began with no clear goal, a minimal budget and a close-knit cast that made do with what was available, including an implausibly short window of time to shoot the film.
"Twelve days," Whedon said on the phone from New York. "That's the number of days we had. We dreamed of 14 days. Oh, how we dreamed."
The limited time was all Whedon could spare between shooting "The Avengers" and editing the film. It turns out, he wasn't entirely at home in the blockbuster business where big budgets come with attendant oversight and pressure. Amid the frenzy, he had reminisced about simpler times -- leisurely days when he would assemble his friends for impromptu readings of Shakespeare's plays.
"A little light brunch, a glass of wine and [we'd] read a play," recalled Alexis Denisof, known for his role as Wesley on "Buffy" and "Angel," who plays Benedick in "Much Ado."
With what little downtime Whedon had, he decided to decompress by recapturing that merriment. Except this time he was going to get it on film and use his home in Santa Monica, Calif., as the set. The words would be Shakespeare's, but the dress and setting would be modern.
Whedon and friends had read "Much Ado About Nothing" years earlier, and it struck the director as a good option for this project. Practically speaking, the story takes place in a single location. But it's also irrepressibly buoyant.
"It talks about love in a way that few texts do, or I should say few really funny texts do," Whedon said. "It really sets forth the idea that so much of what we consider love and romance is programmed into us by those around us. That you know it is this sort of construct, this dance, and that is in some cases delightful and in some cases genuinely tragic. And for it to open it up like that, to actually deconstruct the idea of romantic comedy while pretty much inventing it, for me is kind of dazzling."
Whedon even knew who he wanted to play his leads, recalling the chemistry when Denisof and Amy Acker ("Angel," "Dollhouse") had read the parts of Benedick and Beatrice years before. The quick-witted, hot-tempered characters despise each other -- until, of course, they fall for each other.
"I knew that they were my stars," Whedon said. "I wanted other people to see what I had seen."
Adds Denisof: "Thank goodness he said [that] after we shot the movie. . . . Had I known that, I probably would have been shaking in my boots."
Instead, the filmmaking process felt like a family reunion. The narrative unfolds as a series of get-togethers, each character perpetually toting a glass of wine, and there's some sense that when the director yelled for a cut, the vibe remained lively, if not entirely relaxing.
"While it was enormously good fun, it was also a great deal of hard work," Denisof said. "It didn't feel like hard work because we were enjoying ourselves so much and, quite frankly, didn't have high expectations. No fancy studio had laid down hundreds of millions of dollars on this project and was expecting to get it back. It was just Joss calling a bunch of his old friends and colleagues to come over and do it one more time."
The usual crew, including Acker, Denisof and Nathan Fillion, was joined by a few newcomers, and Whedon took care when selecting additions. One fresh face was Jillian Morgese, whose only other feature credit was a bit role in "The Avengers." She plays Beatrice's cousin, Hero.
"Coming in, I was just a bit nervous -- obviously nervous about the acting portion, but also coming into this close-knit group of people," Morgese said. "But the minute I got there, it all went away. . . . [Whedon] just has this way of surrounding himself with very good people. So that definitely takes the pressure off."
The director credits not just Morgese's talent and good looks for landing her the role but also her humility. She is beautiful without entitlement or arrogance, he said.
"I'm not a young man, and I got no time for crazy," joked Whedon, who turns 49 on Sunday. "I wouldn't bring anyone who I thought would be toxic or difficult or unable to mesh."
The closeness fostered an atmosphere that sounds more like a party than a workplace. When shooting ran late, Whedon and his wife, Kai Cole, invited people to crash on the couch; in the absence of trailers, the actors hung around, chatting.
"Everyone would just sit on the couch between scenes or go sit out on the grass in the back yard," Acker said. "It was like a family, and it just felt like everyone was doing what they wanted to do."
Filming at Whedon's house kept things casual, although the locale wasn't free of complications.
"You think you live in a quiet neighborhood until you're rolling sound," Whedon said. "Everybody's mowing or leaf-blowing and dog-owning and renovating, and it's a nightmare. We kind of had to walk between the raindrops."
But there was never pressure from anyone (other than himself) to make the movie perfect. With no studio clamoring for a cut, the director wasn't entirely sure what he would do with the film once it was completed.
"We didn't even know how we were going to distribute it," Whedon said. "We talked about putting it up on iTunes the way we did" with comedic miniseries "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog."
Ultimately, Whedon and the cast took the film out on the festival circuit, and the results were heartening. Critics applauded and audiences rejoiced. Filmgoers who hadn't been Shakespeare fans were professing their love for the Bard.
"When we went to Toronto, it was overwhelming, the response that we got," Morgese said. "We were all onstage and looking at each other like, oh my gosh, people like this. This is going to be a real movie."
Whedon nailed down a distributor, and his home movie became more than a stress reliever. After he works on "The Avengers 2," which is set for a 2015 release, some may wonder what he'll do to unwind. If the past is any indication, it will be some unpredictable new cinematic challenge. The cast, however, will likely be familiar.
"Everybody's rooting for everybody else," Whedon said of his acting family. "That's what makes an ensemble, and that's what makes a group of friends."
"Much Ado About Nothing" (109 minutes) is rated PG-13 for some sexuality and brief drug use.

Ready to ply the world's waters with panache, McMullen & Wing's 164-foot Y/N 1016 expedition motor yacht is sailing through its sea trials. The commissioned cruiser is the largest yacht built to date by the New Zealand boatbuilder and the second in the company's Diamond series—designed by Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architect—which debuted with the award-winning, 147-foot yacht Big Fish in 2010. With the latter having already logged over 100,000 nautical miles (including voyages to Antarctica), McMullen & Wing's latest wonder is sure to excel at global exploration.
Currently still carrying the name of its shipyard number, Y/N 1016 divides luxurious interiors across three decks. An additional two levels, the sundeck and crow's nest, are dedicated to outdoor pursuits. Accommodations for up to 12 passengers include 4 guest cabins, a multi-use cabin that can be easily converted for entertaining, and the owner's suite (sequestered on the bridge deck) with its own private outdoor lounge area. A lowered aft cockpit (ideal for fishing and sunbathing) flows into the aft deck, which is positioned close to the water for easy recreational access.
A range of 6,000 nautical miles (traveling at 10 knots) and a maximum cruising speed of 14 knots is made possible by two 1,000 hp Caterpillar diesel engines with ZF gearboxes and five-blade ZF propellers. Delivery to the owner is expected in the second quarter of this year. (mcmullenandwing.com)

HOLLAND -- Garrett Knoth, a member of the Hope College admissions staff for more than 20 years, died on Friday, Dec. 14, after a long struggle with cancer. He was 66.
Knoth joined the Hope staff in 1991 as an assistant director of admissions. He was promoted to associate director in 1996 and to senior associate director in 2007.
"Garrett, the consummate professional, played a significant role in shaping the admissions office over the past 20 years," said William Vanderbilt, vice president for admissions at Hope. "His competitive nature was only exceeded by his genuine care for what was best for the prospective student. During his tenure enrollment at Hope rose from 2,500 full-time-equivalent students to over 3,200 today. Although competitive by nature, Garrett was quick to coach younger staff to help them improve and was a tremendous team player. He will be missed in the admissions office but his legacy will be with us for years to come."
Prior to coming to Hope, Knoth had served as dean of admissions and financial assistance at Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill. His career experience also included serving as director of admissions at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wis., as an admissions counselor and associate director of admissions at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, as a consultant to 14 colleges at Stuart Weiner and Associates in Chicago, Ill., and as director of admissions and financial aid at Central College in Pella, Iowa.
He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in history and physical education from Cornell College in 1968, and his Master of Arts degree in student personnel from the University of Iowa in 1976.
Survivors include his wife of 33 years, Donna.
A memorial service will take place at Fellowship Reformed Church, 300 North 168th Ave., Holland on Thursday, December 20, at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Brian Keepers officiating.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Garrett and Donna Knoth Endowed Fund at Hope College or to Fellowship Reformed Church of to Hospice of Holland.

The Shark God
Encounters With Ghosts and Ancestors in the South PacificBook - 2006
When Charles Montgomery was ten years old, he stumbled upon the memoirs of his great-grandfather, a seafaring missionary in the South Pacific. Poring over the faint text and faded pictures, he was entranced by the world of black magic and savagery the bishop described, and couldn't help but wonder what drove the Victorian to risk his life among people who had shot, drowned, or clubbed to death so many of his predecessors.
Twenty years later and a century after that journey, Montgomery sets out for the reefs and atolls of Melanesia in search of the very spirits and myths the missionaries had sought to destroy. He retraces his ancestor's path through the far-flung islands, exploring the bond between faith and magic, the eerie persistence of the spirit world, and the heavy footprints of Empire.
What he discovers is a world of sorcery and shark worship, where the lines between Christian and pagan rituals are as blurred as the frontiers of fact, fantasy, and faith. After confrontations with a bizarre cast of cult leaders, militants, and mystics, the author, in his quest for ancient magic, is led to an island in crisis -- and to a new myth with the power to destroy or to save its people forever.
Alternately terrifying, moving, and hilarious, with overtones of Melville and Conrad, The Shark God is Montgomery's extraordinary and piercingly intelligent account of both Melanesia's transformation and his own. This defiantly original blend of history and memoir, anthropology and travel writing, marks the debut of a singular new talent.

Letter of Recommendation Policy
Letter of Recommendation Policy
Continuing Student Counseling Department Letter of Recommendation Policy
A letter of recommendation requires that you make a half-hour appointment with your counselor at least two weeks in advance of when it is needed. This service is never provided on a drop-in basis.
Most counselors write letters of recommendation only for students they know well. For a letter of recommendation to be effective, the counselor must be able to comment on a student's personal qualities as well as his or her academic achievements. If a counselor does not know you, he or she may decline your request for a letter.
Who is best qualified to write you a letter of recommendation?
A person who has been in close contact with you and knows you well is best suited to write a letter. This may include such persons as instructors, counselors, or administrators. The instruction sheet in a scholarship application or University Admissions application often indicates if the letter needs to come from a specific person.
What should you bring to your appointment with a counselor?
To best assist the counselor in writing your letter, please bring the following information:
• Your personal statement (if applicable)
• Your resume
• If you don't have a personal statement, write a two
statement about your qualifications including your academic
performance, interests, skills, and any personal qualities which
you feel are significant.
When do you pick up your letter of recommendation?
The counselor will indicate to you when your letter will be ready. Do not expect your letter to be written instantly. Your counselor needs time to reflect in order to write you the best letter possible.

Australian King Single Size Mattress measures: 106cm wide x 203cm long
The steel springs in this mattress have been Heat Tempered making the springs stronger, while the steel wire used to make each spring is heavy gauge (thick wire) to increase the amount of support provided.
Edge Springs & Corner Supports extend the sleeping area right to the edge of the mattress to prevent that rolling out of bed feeling.
This mattress is hard. Super Firm support is suited only to those that like a hard mattress or that have a serious back condition where a very firm mattress has been recommended by a medical practitioner.
Coconut Coir is all natural and is essentially the fibres from the outside of a coconut. These fibres are then compressed to form a thick blanket which is used between the springs and the quilting to make a very firm surface.
This mattress is 23cm thick. This is the overall thickness or height of the mattress.
This mattress is double/2 sided which means you can flip it over. This type of mattress can last longer than a single sided mattress.
Covered for 5 Years against manufacturing defects.
Using a Mattress protector is recommended to keep the mattress clean & sanitary.
This mattress should be rotated regularly to evenly wear the surface.
