Generations of family men minister to flocks
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) — He was the son of a Baptist minister, but the Rev. Paul van Gorkom didn't plan on following in his father's footsteps.
"I always wanted to be a lab technician," said the chuckling 86-year-old pastor, who retired in 2009 after almost 60 years of ministering in eight states.
His son John and then his grandson Josh followed the elder van Gorkom into God's service. Both work at Calvary Baptist Church in Eau Claire, where the Rev. John van Gorkom is lead pastor and the Rev. Josh van Gorkom is youth pastor.
During their four generations of service, the pastors — starting with the late Rev. J.A. van Gorkom — have been ministering for more than 140 years.
"This is a tremendous blessing having the (four) of us all in service to God," said John, who is in his 16th year at Calvary Baptist.
His grandfather, who died in 1974, had been a professor at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago before going into full-time ministry, serving God for close to 50 years.
World War II interrupted John's father's plans. At the end of his junior year in high school, Paul — and his identical twin brother, David, natives of Salt Lake City, enlisted in the U.S. military and were assigned to the 8th Air Force. (They got their diplomas while in the military.)
When he came home in 1946, Paul — who had pondered a life in the ministry — was sitting in the back of his father's church "where pastors' kids should sit," he said, chuckling, and decided he should dedicate his life to the Lord completely.
He attended the former Fort Wayne Bible College in Indiana, where he majored in piano and minored in organ. (His mother, Marian, taught him how to play his first hymn.) In the middle of his junior year, Paul had to switch his major because he didn't have a background in classical music, which was needed to finish the requirements to earn a bachelor's degree in sacred music.
John first felt his calling to full-time Christian service of some kind at age 14 during a mission conference at his father's church in Michigan.
"The missionary ... just captivated my heart with the challenge of living for God, devoting every part of your life to him ... and I told God I would do whatever he needed me to do," the 58-year-old pastor said. Over the years, "I wandered away from that, but God didn't forget about me. He kept bringing me back, putting me in places where he could train me, teach me and lead me."
During his senior year in high school, John was accepted to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy for officer training. Right before graduation, he resigned his commission to attend Bethel College in St. Paul, where he majored in the Bible. After 2½ years, he dropped out and went into business.
While working at a store in Iowa, the pastor at the Baptist church there — the late Rev. Garl Brand, who knew John's late mother, Ruth — pulled him aside and said, "You know God has called you into the ministry full time, so I'm going to train you."
"He took me under his wing and trained me for two years," John said.
During his first eight years in the ministry, John continued to support his family through his work in business and ministered at small churches on the side.
In 1987, God called him to full-time ministry, and he and his family moved to Augusta, where he ministered at First Baptist Church for six years.
Josh — one of John's three children — knew that God wanted him in ministry when he was in junior high school. Feeling pressure from his family and friends to follow that path, he felt he needed to "define" himself elsewhere in a career.
After graduating from the former Eau Claire Christian High School in 2002, he enrolled at UW-Eau Claire, planning to become a math teacher.
In 2005, he decided to finally give in to his calling and transferred to Crown College, a private Christian school near Minneapolis, which allowed him to take online courses. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in church ministry in May 2009.
As part of his education, Josh completed two internships, teaming up with Dennis Pond, Calvary's associate pastor who was then youth pastor. In ninth grade, Josh had started working with the church's junior high school youth group and realized there was a need to guide those students.
"In middle school and high school, (youths) are trying to figure out who they are," he said. "I want to help them figure out who they are in Christ."
John doesn't see his son staying in that role forever.
"He's developing his skills and maturing, and he is becoming an excellent preacher, and I personally see him in the role of a lead pastor at a church someday," John said.
Looking forward, Josh, a 27-year-old father of three with a fourth on the way, believes one of his children will carry on the family tradition of serving God.
"It has been a tremendous blessing to have three of us together in the same place serving the Lord together, being able to tap into the wisdom God has given us all," John said.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In iMovie 11 Essential Training, author Garrick Chow illustrates the process of creating high-quality video using iMovie 11. The course covers the entire post-production process, from importing audio, video, and still images to adding effects, creating trailers, and sharing your finished projects on social networks. Also included are tutorials on adjusting audio levels, automatically identifying clips that include faces, and using green screen effects. Exercise files accompany the course.
Next under the Share menu, let's look at the YouTube, Vimeo, and CNN iReport options. Now, chances are pretty good you've heard of YouTube. It's a site where anyone can upload movies for free, so people all over the web can watch them. It's definitely the most popular video sharing site today. Vimeo is also movie sharing site similar to YouTube, and you may have come across people debating which service is actually better. Some people argue that Vimeo's videos look better than the way YouTube compresses videos; other people will argue the opposite. Some people will say Vimeo offers better services than YouTube; some people will argue the opposite.
I am not going to take a side here; all I want to point out is that both sites require you to sign up for a free account if you want to upload videos to be hosted there. Just visit youtube.com or vimeo.com to create your account if you don't already have one. If you're in Vimeo, you would click Join Vimeo; if you are on YouTube, you would click Create Account. Now, if you weren't using iMovie, you would have to export for your video from whatever video application you are using and then upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo through their web site. You would also have to read up on their guidelines for properly formatting your video to work best with their site.
But since you're using iMovie, you can skip all that stuff and upload your content directly from iMovie. Just choose Share > YouTube to upload to YouTube. Here you can enter your account name by clicking the Add button, and I already have a user account name, so I will enter that here, and enter a password, and you can categorize your movie. I'll say this is Travel and Events. You can give it a Title.
I'll keep Surfing Ventura there. Add a description. So I might type "surfing, surfboard, beach", and so on. Then you can choose what size you would like to publish. I suggest choosing the largest possible size your movie will allow. YouTube will compress your movie into multiple formats that viewers will be able to choose from.
So you want to give them the highest-quality video to work with. By checking Make this movie personal, it won't be able to be found by people browsing or searching on YouTube. Only you will be able to get to or through your account, or by providing the address to your friends. When you're ready, you can click Next. You'll have to agree to the terms of Use here, and you do so by clicking Publish. So when you are ready to go, click Publish. Now, because I haven't exported an HD 1080p version of this movie yet, iMovie has to do that first before it can upload it, and once it's done creating the movie, iMovie will then automatically publish or upload the movie to YouTube for you.
And when it's done, you will see this dialog box telling you the web address for your movie. Do note that it says it may be several minutes or hours before your video is processed and viewable depending on YouTube's server load. But this is the address where the video is now going to be located. If you want to send an e-mail to a friend containing address, you can click Tell a Friend. You can go directly to that address by clicking View or just click OK to close this dialog box. But notice that it does say that I have now published this video to YouTube, and again I can click that icon to Visit, Tell a Friend, Publish or Remove from YouTube.
If I click Visit, I'll go to that web page. It's asking me to sign in. And here is my video, and you can see right now it says the video is not yet processed. But this is where I'll find the video once it's been completely processed by YouTube. Now, publishing the video is pretty much identical. I just choose Share > Vimeo, and you can see this dialog box looks exactly the same.
You'll just have to click Add to add your Vimeo account here. Let's cancel that. But once you filled in your account and password again you can just choose who it's going to be viewed by. Title, Description is the same, Tags are probably the same, and then choose which size you want to publish. I am just going to cancel this. Now, iMovie also offers the ability to publish to CNN's iReport site, which is the portion of CNN's web site where members can publish their own news reports, and again, in iMovie, the interface is pretty much the same. We just choose Share > CNN iReport, fill in your account information and all the other information here, and then you can publish your videos directly to iReport from iMovie.
So there you have the options to publish your iMovie videos to YouTube, Vimeo, and iReport.
There are currently no FAQs about iMovie 11 Essential Training.

Devin the Dude, Alchemist (DJ set), MY-G, DJ Wicked and DJ Spark
1235 SW 16th Ave.
[STONER HIP-HOP] The hip-hop game is a balancing act of polar opposites, but Devin the Dude is a rapper who throws the scale off through his notoriously avant-garde approach. Hailing from hip-hop's lost coast, ranging from Houston to the Louisana Delta, Devin is emblematic of the slowed-down, chopped-and-screwed style of Southern hip-hop that is becoming more and more influential in mainstream hip-hop. Hear that drawl in the chorus of the new Kanye song? Devin was one of the first to do it.

2012 Janet A. Sipple Lectureship - Bridgette M. Brawner, PhD, APRN
Speaker: Bridgette M. Brawner, PhD, APRN
Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for Health Equity Research, Center for Global Women's Health University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing
"Sustainable Change: Health Equity Promotion through Active Community Engagement"
Dr. Bridgette M. Brawner is an Assistant Professor of Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing; she is a member of the School's Center for Health Equity Research and the Center for Global Women's Health. For the past seven years she has been involved in several local and international research projects focused on improving health and reducing risk behaviors.
Through a health equity lens, Dr. Brawner's program of research focuses on multi-level, multi-method, biobehavioral approaches to sexual health promotion in disenfranchised populations. There are four, interconnected arms: 1) Elucidate salient individual-level factors that protect against or increase risk for adverse sexual health outcomes, such as HIV and other sexually transmitted infections; 2) Explore the social and structural context in which relationships develop and sexual behaviors occur; 3) Mobilize communities and integrate findings to identify modifiable factors; and 4) Develop, test and disseminate multi-level, comprehensive, evidence-based health promotion and disease prevention models. Dr. Brawner has a passion for urban women's mental and physical health. She believes that upfront, active community engagement coupled with innovative research methodologies can facilitate sustainable change in a myriad of geosocial settings.
Dr. Brawner earned her baccalaureate degree from Villanova University, and her master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. She has received numerous awards and honors in recognition of her distinguished research, teaching and community service.

Day 7
The Challenge: Step Up Your Look
The five o'clock shadow works wonders for your manly street cred, but in the office a scruffy look does more harm than good. Take the time to clean yourself up.
Why It'll Work: Good-looking men are viewed as more likable, competent, and intelligent, research shows, and their lifetime earnings tend to be higher than those of average-looking guys. But good grooming alone can generate a 4 to 5 percent wage premium in young men, according to new research from the University of Miami. And it's okay if you're not Ryan Gosling: Being well-kempt may even offset the salary penalty of being less attractive.
While You're At It: Be seen. Walk down their hallway or join their gym. "Who has the power to promote? Who has influence with the people who have the power to promote? Whoever it is, get in front of them," says Susan Whitcomb, author of 30-Day Job Promotion. But don't grandstand. "Get known in casual ways such as serving on a new, cross-functional team or making more presentations," she says.
Day 8
The Challenge: Be the Fixer
Write a list of your frustrations with your company, and then search for solutions.
Why It'll Work: Once you've identified what's bugging you, let your mind wander: A 2009 Canadian study found that daydreaming can help solve problems. Then come back to Earth and share your ideas. Before you know it, you'll become the person your colleagues come to when they have pressing problems—and that could keep you locked in at your company for the long haul.
While You're At It: Seek out tiebreakers. Work the grill at the company barbeque, take on extra duties, improve your golf game. If you're up for promotion against someone with the same experience, these will tip the scale your way. "It should never be, but when there are several equally qualified candidates for a position, the higher-ups will tend to go with the 'hard-working person' who brings extra value to the table," says Lorenzo Flores, Ph.D., author of Executive Career Advancement.
Day 9
The Challenge: Sweat the Small Stuff
Rather than get lost in a ten-year plan, focus on the short term—identify the little things you can do now.
Why It'll Work: The more you believe your career goals are within reach, the higher your long-term status will be, found a 2009 Journal of Vocational Behavior study. So start by tackling manageable projects that pay off quickly. An early success—or even better, a string of them—can bolster your confidence and future gains.
While You're At It: Train your replacement. Make it easy on them to fill your spot as you climb the latter. "If you're good at your current job, it's possible your boss won't want to promote you because she'll lose a great performer that's been making her look good," says Susan Whitcomb, author of 30-Day Job Promotion. Eliminate that concern by mentoring someone below you who could partially fill your shoes, she says.
For the latest research into health, nutrition, fitness and sex, visit Men's Health News every day.
Day 10
The Challenge: Pursue Your Passions
That old cliché that if you love doing it, it's not work? Still true. Find the parts of your job that inspire your imagination and go after them.
Why It'll Work: People who tackle projects they enjoy, not ones they think will earn them promotions, are more satisfied and committed to their work, a 2008 Journal of Research in Personality study found. And that's the way to a promotion: Seek assignments that overlap with your interests, or look for your kind of job in an industry you love. There's always room, even in the unlikeliest places: NBA teams employ 3,900 people, and 89 percent of them aren't ballers.
While You're At It: Research your boss. Some might call it snooping. We call it doing your homework. "True person-to-person bonding is an art unto itself. It's best left to the natural flow of opportunities that lend themselves to sharing," says Lorenzo Flores, Ph.D., author of Executive Career Advancement. But that doesn't mean leave it to chance. "Find out about your boss's upbringing, family, military, or college through the office grapevine. When appropriate, and without exaggeration, find ways to let him or her know that you have faced similar challenges and experiences," suggests Dr. Flores.
Day 11
The Challenge: Go Mobile
Being constantly connected might feel like a burden, but increased communications means more opportunities to prove your worth.
Why It'll Work: You probably don't get as much face-time with your boss as you'd like, and it's a good bet that your co-workers feel just as isolated. While it's practically impossible to alleviate those feelings in the office, that's when you can use your Blackberry to your advantage: A study in International Journal of Mobile Communications found that employees with a mobile connection to the office felt more "in the loop."
While You're At It: Talk to successful people. Figure out the next step by talking with people who've already taken it. "Some companies do more than others in terms of career-pathing for their employees, but the ownership of that task really belongs in your lap," says Susan Whitcomb, author of 30-Day Job Promotion. Look for what opportunities are available and talk with those in a position to help you take them, she says.
Day 12
The Challenge: Revamp Your Wardrobe
It's true: Clothes make the man. Make sure your style works for you—not against you.
Why It'll Work: You can earn at least 5 percent more than the other guy simply by looking sharp, according to a study in the American Economic Review. Clothes sell confidence, so keep a style kit in your cubicle. Your office-closet musts: A blazer, crisp shirt, matching tie, and gleaming pair of shoes.
While You're At It: Ask someone important to lunch. Skip working the room and network over a meal. "If you're an introverted promotion seeker, you do best at one-on-one encounters," says Nancy Ancowitz, author of Self-Promotion for Introverts. Use this to build a strong web of relationships and strategic alliances over time, she says.

The Moncton Wildcats continue to work away at bringing highly-touted defenceman Michael Matheson to the QMJHL.
Matheson, selected by the Florida Panthers in the first round (23rd overall) of last Saturday' NHL draft in Pittsburgh, has long planned to go the NCAA route at Boston College and is coming off a strong season in the United States Hockey League.
The Wildcats acquired his rights from the Shawinigan Cataractes as part of the Brandon Gormley blockbuster trade in January.
"That's a work in progress — it remains to be seen," said Wildcats general manager Danny Flynn. "He made a commitment two years ago to go to Boston College. The landscape has changed now that he's a first-round NHL pick. I had an excellent meeting with he and his family (at the Memorial Cup) and stayed in contact with Michael and we'll have to see how that plays out."
The six-foot-two, 175-pounder was the consensus No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 QMJHL draft. He had 11 goals and 16 assists for 27 points in 53 games with the Dubuque Fighting Saints last season.
At 18, he'd be expected to make a significant impact for the Wildcats.

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to Deliver the 2009-10 Pomona College Distinguished Speakers Series Lecture
Photo credit: Dane Penland, Smithsonian Institution, courtesy of the Collection of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who was the first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, will deliver the 2010 Pomona College Distinguished Speakers Series Lecture on Tuesday, March 30, at 4:15 p.m., in Bridges Auditorium.
Tickets for the Distinguished Lecture will be available, at no charge, through the Bridges Box Office beginning in early March.
Justice O'Connor was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by then Pres. Ronald Reagan in 1981 and was the only woman on the Court until the appointment of Ruth Bader Ginsberg in 1993. As an Associate Justice, O'Connor was known for approaching cases narrowly, and her case-by-case approach placed her in the political center of the court. As the court became more conservative, she was often considered the pivotal swing vote on issues such as abortion, affirmative action and religious freedom.
Since her retirement from the high court in 2006, Justice O'Connor has continued to hear cases on a part-time basis, as a substitute judge for the federal appeals courts. In this role, she had heard nearly 80 cases and written more than a dozen opinions by August 2009, according to an article Wall Street Journal. Unlike the Supreme Court, which hears only 1% of the 10,000 cases it is petitioned to hear, appellate courts take appeals from anyone who loses in federal district court. One recent decision authored by O'Connor, U.S. v. Laboy-Torres, involved the question of whether Puerto Rican courts were foreign or domestic.
In addition, Justice O'Connor has served on the Iraq Study Group that proposed an exit strategy for U.S. troops and panels reviewing policy for the national parks and the U.S. position toward the International criminal courts. She is also serving as chancellor of the College of William and Mary.
Following law school at Stanford, Justice O'Connor began her legal career as a civilian attorney for Quartermaster Market Center, Frankfurt, Germany (1954–57). She opened a private law practice in Arizona (1958-1960) and then served as an Assistant Attorney General of Arizona (1965-69). In 1969, she was appointed to the Arizona State Senate and was subsequently re-elected two more times. From 1973 to 1975, she served as Senate Majority Leader (1973-75).
Her judicial career began in 1975, with her election as judge of the Maricopa County (AZ) Superior Court, where she served until 1979, when she was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals by Democratic Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitt.
Justice O'Connor is the author of The Majesty of the Law: Reflections of a Supreme Court Justice (2004) and in early 2009, she launched the website www.OurCourts.org, which offers interactive civics lessons to students and teachers about how government works.
On August 12, 2009, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor of the United States, by President Barack Obama.
The Distinguished Lecture Series was established with a generous gift from the Broe family. David Plouffe, Pres. Barack Obama's campaign manager, who inaugurated the Pomona College Distinguished Lecture Series in March 2009.

[day 2] first serious temptation; those little victories add up!!
View MONIQUEARIELLE's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from MONIQUEARIELLE
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
Today I was supposed to have served jury duty but they ended up not needing my group and so I didn't have to go! Since I had no plans for the day, and since my kids (2 boys, almost-4-years and 20-months) are still a little sick, we lazed around the house all day. My husband was home from work--since he was expecting to watch the kids while I was doing the jury duty thing, he went ahead and stayed with us and worked from home--and I took advantage and crawled in bed for an afternoon nap. THREE HOURS LATER, I woke up refreshed but a little disoriented. I had no idea I could nap for that long! Super great husband for letting me rest.
My diet was impeccable today. I made a late breakfast of a generous bowl of rolled oats with cinnamon, almond milk, banana, and strawberries:
When I woke up from my nap I was super hungry. Unfortunately, the reason I woke up was because the maintenance guy needed to fix the faucet in the kitchen, so I couldn't prepare anything for almost an hour. This was my first temptation, as there was plenty of food (bread, crackers, treats) that I could have grazed on from the pantry, but I didn't want to give in on day two, so I just had a couple of apples and reread some passages from "Eat to Live" by Dr. Fuhrman while I waited for the repairs to be finished.
After he left it was a little after 4pm and I chopped up this incredible salad. Even my 4-year-old had a bowl of it! It had romaine, kidney beans, tomatoes, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, mushrooms, and lemon juice.
It took me a while to eat the whole thing, but I felt so satisfied and healthy when I was finished. And I had a couple of strawberries for dessert. I didn't eat anything else today, and I realize this is a very low amount of calories for the day, but I wasn't feeling great, I had that long nap, and I started my period today. I could have easily grazed on junk all day, but my HUNGER and my APPETITE are not the same thing--something I am slowly learning.
Later in the afternoon a package arrived on our doorstep from a dear friend of mine. It was a "love you, be happy" package and included several kinds of chocolate and some gifts for my children. Most of the chocolate was easy to resist, but she also included a small box of fudge from the bookstore of the university I attended for my undergraduate degree. I LOVE THIS FUDGE. It is seriously so incredible, and I was panicked when I opened the package. What do I do? Can I just eat some, and throw the rest away? Can I have ONE LAST BINGE and then start over tomorrow? I decided to put it in the cupboard and think about it later . . . which resulted in me thinking about that damn fudge all afternoon and into the evening. At one point I even unwrapped my favorite piece--chocolate caramel--and let it sit on the counter while I debated eating it.
I'm proud to report that I wrapped that candy back up and put it back in the box and didn't taste a bite of it. It's still in the pantry, and I'm thinking I will give it to a friend tomorrow or something. I know I can't keep it around for long or I might succumb.
I really paid attention to my self-talk surrounding that fudge and the way I felt tonight. My crazy food-addicted brain was trying every trick in the book to convince me to eat just a little. But "just a little" has started every single episode of overeating and I know that I have to make different choices--FOREVER--if I want to see different results. I'm not saying I won't ever eat a piece of fudge again in my entire life; I don't know whether I will or not. I just know that I'm not strong enough right now to only have a small amount. I want it all. And I feel so empowered tonight knowing that I AM strong enough to do this. These little victories will just keep adding up and I WILL achieve my goals.
Did you have any little victories today?

MAMAK38 I used to eat Larabars all the time, thanks for reminding me of them! I will have to buy some on our next grocery trip.

I understand this all too well! I make sure our home is a safe zone but sometimes other family members visit with treats. My hubby recently brought home some Larabars for my sweet tooth. How did I not give these a try before? Yummy and a variety of flavors for my days that I want a treat. Vegan, kosher, soy free, dairy free, gluten free...Perfect for my health needs!

Tok plays MS benefit at Fubar tonight, sends gifts to the RFT
Categories: Homespun, Tonight, Tonight
Philanthropy and rock & roll go hand-in-hand tonight during the "Rock Out for MS" show at Fubar (3108 Locust Street). Local acts Soma, the Sudden Passion, Lydia Loveless and Tok will perform, and the show begins at 7 p.m. We reviewed Tok's latest LP Long Tall Cobra Box a few weeks ago and had this to say:
As co-leaders of Tok, brothers Bryan and Matt Basler revel in thick, hazy riffs of stoner rock, which they layer over an articulated but unrepentant rhythm section. Parts of the album sound like a sampler disc of Sub Pop Records' early-'90s roster. Opener "Got No Need" has all the crunch, speed and bravado of Bleach-era Nirvana, while elsewhere the twisted twang ofthe Supersuckers and the super-fuzz of Mudhoney pop up.
As a thank-you for the write-up, Matt Basler sent a nice handwritten note to the RFT's offices - along with a decorated railroad spike. Observe (and click for a bigger shot):

From school to the skate park.
Like any other morning, you're late for school. It's a good thing you haven't taken anything out of the Nike Embarca Backpack since you came home from school—while that probably means you didn't do much homework, it also means your books and notebooks are still in there. Its polyester shell has synthetic leather overlays to keep your gear safe while you sprint out the door and bump this pack into everything standing in your way. The shoulder straps are comfortable enough that they don't hurt your shoulders, and front straps give you an ideal spot to strap your skateboard to the bag when you reach school, and your laptop stays safe in its own pocket. Your teacher is clearly upset with you and asks you to find a seat and get your homework out. The large compartment opens completely so you can find your school work super fast and get on his good side again. That is, until he realizes you didn't do your homework.

Sweat, Hot Food and Blazing Guitars: The Big Muddy Chili Cookoff in Photos
Big Muddy Records has always postured itself as more of a family than a profit-driven business venture, so when Big Muddy daddy Chris Baricevic rounded up label kinfolk and friends for a music-packed cookout over Memorial Day weekend, it seemed more like a family reunion (especially with all the acts that shared musicians) than a record label showcase.
All photos by Brian Heffernan Pokey LaFarge joins Mat Wilson of the Rum Drum Ramblers for a song after being called up on stage during the final set of the Big Muddy Chili Cook-Off at Off Broadway on Sunday.
Despite record-tying heat on Sunday, more than 200 people came out to the Off Broadway patio to slurp seven rival chilies and watch twelve local and local-ish bands and artists play. The event, which was sponsored by Stag, PBR, KDHX (88.1 FM) and a host of other local businesses, boasted performances by the Rum Drum Ramblers, the Hooten Hallers, Bob Reuter's Alley Ghost, the Griddle Kids, the Trio Project, Lonesome Cowboy Ryan & Banjo Kellie, Jack Grelle and Chris Baricevic himself.
Steve Dachroeden of the Silver Ballroom took the $100 first prize for his fiery, habanero-cheese-spiked chili. Highlights from the afternoon's festivities, below -- It was all quite a
toot hoot. The Skekses perform at the Big Muddy Chili Cook-Off, while Big Muddy Records ringleader, Chris Baricevic looks on (far right).

Bizarro World mentality can lead to sweeter fruitWritten by Tom Richard | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Trick-or-treaters came and went as I sat passing out candy from my front porch. Some of the kids donned carefully created costumes while others chose the store-bought variety. The ages of these kids were as varied as their appearances.
What I noticed myself doing was selecting different candy for different people. The individuals who seemed to have really put their hearts into their costumes were receiving some of the better candy treats, while the high school kids that just threw on some face paint would get the less desirable candy.
As I was discriminately making judgments about people I did not know, I thought perhaps I should distribute the candy without giving way to my preconceptions. However, it dawned on me that we all give discriminately. Whether it is candy on Halloween or time, talent or treasure in the workplace; we all use criteria to determine what to give and to whom.
It would be easy to say that we should not judge people. It would be simple to say we should give of ourselves equally to everybody, without prejudice. However, even though it may not be "the right thing to do", it is natural to discriminate when it comes to who we give to and what we give.
We make decisions daily about giving. When a client or salesperson calls asking to meet with you for 30 minutes, you need to decide whether or not you should oblige. When you are invited to a sporting event with a colleague or asked to do something outside of your comfort zone like attend a hot yoga class, you are required to make a decision about whether or not it is worth it.
These decisions about what deserves your time, your talent or your treasure happen every day and we always use some set of criteria to make the decision.
There is little value in discussing the merits behind your criteria. Most likely you make decisions the same way you always have. Maybe your decision-making process has worked for you; maybe your decision process has not worked well for you. The point is that you should accept you are doing things the way you have always done them. Ask yourself if there is value in shaking things up for a change.
Like fruity yogurt, the best things can sometimes settle at the bottom of the cup. To get the most out of it, you have to stir things up.
My challenge to you is this: For one day, break your patterns when it comes to decision making. For those things you would normally pass on, say yes. For one day, when you have an opportunity to take a meeting you would normally pass on, say yes. For one day, give more than you normally would to your clients or colleagues. Yes, for one day, turn everything upside down and watch how it changes you. Give yourself the opportunity to find the fruit in your life's yogurt cup you didn't even know was there.
As you go through your Bizarro World day, notice how everything begins to look different.
This challenge has the power to do one of two things, both of them positive. Your patterns can be changed forever by the new and unique experiences or your decision-making criteria can be proven to be well-developed and worth continuing. Either outcome adds value to you, your family and your business.
Why take this one day challenge? A better question is, "why not?" You have the world to gain and nothing to lose. Find the fruit.

Germans making their own masters track movie: 'Herbstgold'
At least three masters tracksters between the ages of 73 and 100 are featured in a new documentary being filmed in Germany and eventually Lahti. Called "Herbstgold" (or "Harvest Gold: Fighting Time and Age"), it will be the Eurovets version of "Racing Against the Clock," which I reviewed four years ago. English and German language trailers have been posted on YouTube. Here's the English one. I spotted Mel Larsen running hurdles and Bill Daprano getting ready to vault. The filmmakers are Gebrueder Beetz Filmproduktion and the documentary's director is Jan Tenhaven. In the shot below is W80 Riccione racewalk champion (and Masters Hall of Famer) Miriam Gordon, who is featured in this clip:
Click on image for 3-minute preview of German masters track film "Herbstgold."
The YouTube description is thus:
The film tells the life-affirming stories of three senior athletes across the world who all have one goal — to take part in the track and field World Masters Championships. The biggest challenge is their age as all three athletes are between 80 and 95 years old — a race against time and personal degeneration.
Here's how the Koops in Germany describe the project (and my apologies for the Googlie translation):
"Autumn Gold" is the new documentary by Jan Tenhaven (Production: Gebrüder Beetz Filmproduktion, Coproduction: Navigator Film), which includes alongside Alfred Proksch (AUT), Gabr Gabric (ITA) and other elders of the Masters scene. . . . Director Jan Tenhaven has the concept of the documentary film about the "race against time" will be created, including of North Rhine-Westphalia – Film Foundation has been promoted.
"The film tells the life story of three senior athletes from Europe. They all have one goal: The 'Track And Field World Masters Championship 2009 in Finland. The biggest challenge is her age – all three athletes are 78 to 100 (! ) years old. A race against time and personal degeneration " is the official text accompanying the 90 minutes or 52minütigen strip of uaim WDR television and broadcast on arte – and also comes to the cinema, which is Documenteries very special.
It all started in Riccione, as the production company around Jan Tenhaven first made contact with senior citizens and athletes since this time accompanied. Home, during training, the national competition through to international championships.
The conclusion is made in Lahti and thereafter, the film "Autumn Gold" for cinema and television, be prepared. Christa Happ and Ilse Pleuger will thus be equal to ambassadors of the sport and the Elderly "Vaterstettener" anti-doping movement.

January 24th – the Most Depressing Day?
A British psychologist calculates January 24th to be the most depressing day of the year. One of the reasons has to do with failed resolutions. "The majority of people break their healthy resolutions six to seven days into the new year, and even the hangers-on have fallen off the wagon, torn off the nicotine patches and eaten the fridge empty by the third week. Any residual dregs of holiday cheer and family fun have kicked the bucket by January 24."

Hi Stephen,
I thought this may interest you.

Stuart, This is interesting, and not surprising. The formula stuff just seemed a bit convoluted. However, I do believe that the resolution part is pretty close to accurate. Some informal studies have shown that more people are in the gym during the month of January than during the months of February through December combined.

Maine Lawmakers Vote Down Municipal Welfare Bill
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) – Maine lawmakers have rejected Gov. Paul LePage's proposal to reduce the amount of money the state refunds some cities to run their welfare programs.
The Senate voted 22-12 on Monday to kill the bill introduced by the Republican governor. It failed in the House last week.
The bill would have standardized the reimbursement rate at 50 percent across all cities for general assistance, the all-purpose welfare program run by cities and towns. Some cities, like Portland and Bangor, currently get reimbursed for 90 percent of the costs if they reach a certain threshold.
LePage's administration says the amount the state pays municipalities is unsustainable. The administration estimated that the measure could save Maine $3.7 million.
But critics said it would merely have shifted that cost onto property taxpayers.

"It'd be rude not to," he rejoins.
The next week is the big occasion: the Epworth Center benefit, when 6-goal Argentinean Martin Estrada and 9-goal Hector Galindo, considered by many the best American player, will play on opposing teams. Everybody's on tenterhooks because for two years running, the Epworth game has been rained out. But the day's sunny, clear and windless, and Buttons the volunteer clown cavorts without breaking a sweat.
Buttons has reason for joy: The teens at Epworth might not have jumped at the chance to attend a polo game, but the donors did, and today's proceeds could reach $20,000. Delighted by the turnout, Lulu mounts Chance and tugs hard at the girth, trying to get it just right. A few paces away, her Bud Light teammate Billy Busch is muttering, "What we need to do is shut Hector Galindo down. I have some pretty good horses, so I'll probably take him." He swings his leg over Josie, a dark bay with a white blaze. "I'll be on him. But he's so quick, it's gonna be difficult."
The chukker starts, and all eyes follow Hector, No. 3 of the red-shirted Rio Roses team. He's not grandstanding, but his shots sail yards ahead of everybody, and soon the announcer is keeping an auctioneer's pace. Sensing the excitement, the crowd focuses on the game, trying to fathom it. "I have a hard time even staying on a horse," one guy admits. "I'm at a polo game," a blonde repeats into her cell phone. "The horses are pretty, aren't they?" an older couple asks each other at regular intervals.
Billy thwacks the ball out of Hector's reach. A second later, Hector is back at his side, hooking with the mallet. The horses gallop back and forth, the ball flying all over the field. Then Martin tears toward the goal, body bent forward, relaxed left hand making the reins seem incidental. In a single arc, he scores the first goal for Bud Light, giving the team one against the Rio Roses' two.
In the second chukker, Hector rides right up on the ball, ahead of everybody, reaches back with his mallet and -- his pony bounces. Dances up and down like a Lippizan stallion. Hector misses his chance. Billy scores for Bud Light, evening the score. Hector's pony keeps bouncing; motion that should be a forward gallop is almost vertical, like a merry-go-round horse on speed, and the grooms can't figure out why Hector's not racing off the field to change mounts. Finally the pony calms long enough to let the mallet make contact. Hector gets a free shot (Billy turned right into somebody's path) and sails the ball right in front of the goal, but nobody's there to slam it in. Bud Light recovers the ball, Martin makes a long shot and Billy scoops it and ties the score. It's halftime.
Fans spread out across the field for the ritual divot-stomping, moving as slowly as sleepwalkers, tamping down the hacked-up turf with their bright sandals and tennies. Lulu, her round face flushed red, is autographing a box of polo balls (they're for the sponsors, but she thinks they're for the Epworth kids, so she's taking great care). Hector sits low in a folding chair, chuckling about his bouncing pony: "He got his tooth pulled last week, so I think he's a little sensitive. It wasn't hurting him, though." Yeah, but it hurt the chance to score -- why didn't he change ponies? "Today's a benefit game," shrugs the long-awaited champion. "We were just taking it easy out there. We're coming back now."
Sure enough, he scores with a backshot in the first two seconds of the fourth chukker. But in the fifth chukker, Lulu scores, and scores again, and Bud Light, the team without the world-famous player, wins the game.
Nobody seems to mind.
Winning was never the point.

Golden Queen reports year end results and provides a construction update
VANCOUVER, March 17, 2014 /CNW/ - Golden Queen Mining Co. Ltd. (TSX:GQM) (OTCQX:GQMNF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and to provide an update on the construction underway on its Soledad Mountain Project (the "Project"). Amounts shown in U.S. dollars.
2013 Highlights
- The Company was accepted by the International Cyanide Management Institute as a signatory of the International Cyanide Management Code in May.
- The key highlight for 2013 was the start of construction of infrastructure-related items during the second quarter of 2013.
- The widening of Silver Queen Road with turning lanes was completed on May 3. The turning lanes were extended with a "dip crossing" across a floodplain.
- A number of access roads and haul roads were constructed and this included the north-south access road, the interconnecting roads and the main haul road to the East waste rock storage pad
- Drilling and blasting was also required in a few areas and was successfully completed in December 2013.
- The pad where the workshop-warehouse will be constructed was excavated.
- The first phase of the site drainage system was completed in December 2013.
- The overland conveyor route was constructed and this is a key part of the infrastructure related to the construction of the Phase 1 heap leach pad.
- The site was fenced.
- A test was conducted with lignin sulfonate as a dust control agent and this appears to be a cost-effective agent for future use.
- Detailed engineering for construction of the key facilities for the Project continued and this was required to obtain final cost estimates for construction.
- We awarded several key contracts for key turn-key projects in the fourth quarter of 2013.
- We purchased an administrative office in downtown Mojave in July that has quickly become a hub of activity both for the Company's administrative staff and for the Mojave community at large.
- The Company maintained an active community outreach program in 2013.
Management and Board
The Company strengthened its management team in 2013 with the appointment of Laurence Morris as Chief Operating Officer in April and Andrée St-Germain as Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer in September.
Bryan A. Coates, Bernard Guarnera and Guy Le Bel joined our Board in June 2013.
Financial Highlights
The Company had net income of $2.0 million ($0.02 per share) in 2013 whereas in 2012, the Company had a net loss of $1.3 million ($0.01 per share). The net income in 2013 was largely the result of a $5.4 million reduction in the fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company had $15.8 million in assets, including $5.0 million in cash, and a working capital balance of $3.6 million as at December 31, 2013 compared with $6.6 million in assets, including $4.0 million in cash, and a working capital balance of $4.0 million as at December 31, 2012.
The Company incurred significantly higher general administrative expenses in 2013 due to an increase in corporate activities both at the Company's head office and on site as the Company continues to prepare the site for production.
The Company incurred development costs of $8.1 million in 2013 as compared to development costs of $1.8 million in 2012. Construction costs included $2.7 million in site development, $1.6 million in infrastructure, $1.0 million for road construction, $0.7 million to excavate the pad where the workshop-warehouse will be constructed and $0.6 million for the construction of the overland conveyor route. The Company also spent $1.4 million to acquire property interests.
Shareholders are reminded that the Company has no revenues as its gold and silver Project is not yet in production.
Results for the year ended on:
Dec. 31, 2013
Dec. 31, 2012
|Mineral Property Interests
|Total assets
|Working Capital
|Total long term liabilities
|Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss)
|Basic income (loss) per share
|Diluted income (loss) per share
|Stockholders' equity
Financial results discussed in this news release for the financial years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 have been audited by the Company's independent accountants.
The Company's audited consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for fiscal 2013 will be available on the Company's website at www.goldenqueen.com and on SEDAR and EDGAR.
Financing Update
The Company secured a $10 million loan in January 2014 to continue the development work on site (please refer to our press release dated January 6, 2014 for further details). The Company is evaluating various financing options for the Project, including equity, debt, and other alternatives. The Company estimates that construction can be completed in approximately 15 months once project financing has been secured.
Construction Update
The Company awarded a contract for the construction of the workshop-warehouse and wash slab. A key milestone was reached when the prepared pad was formally handed over to the contractor in mid-January to start construction of the footings as shown in Photograph 1. This is the first of a number of important turn-key projects for the Project.
Photograph 1 - Workshop-warehouse foundation concrete pour
Our general contractor is preparing the site where the crushing-screening plant will be constructed as shown in Photograph 2. This project is scheduled to be completed in late-March.
Photograph 2 - Crushing plant build-up in progress - lower area
The fill material required for the above project is being sourced from the overflow or events pond, which is located just downstream of the Merrill-Crowe plant. An independent consulting engineer has just issued final construction drawings for the events pond and the excavation is therefore being done to a final design as shown in Photograph 3.

Petition Filed with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
On January 31, 2014 the Center for Biological Diversity filed an emergency petition with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (the "USFWS") asking the USFWS to list the Mojave Shoulderband snail as a threatened or endangered species. Citing a report published more than 80 years ago, the Petition claims that the snail exists in only three places, and that most of the snail habitat occurs on Soledad Mountain. The Company is working with its environmental and legal advisors to prepare a detailed and complete response to the Petition and expects to submit a response to the USFWS in late-March 2014.
About Golden Queen Mining Co. Ltd:
The Company is developing a gold-silver, open pit, heap leach operation on its fully-permitted Soledad Mountain property, located just outside the town of Mojave in Kern County in southern California. The Project will use conventional open pit mining methods and the cyanide heap leach and Merrill-Crowe processes to recover gold and silver from crushed, agglomerated ore.

A bit of background for newcomers
Joe (aka 'Mac' to his RAF comrades) was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday until they are done.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
At the time of this letter, which is written by Olive, Joe's mother, he is several months into his RAF experiences and is now at RAF Wratting Common in Cambridgeshire, as part of the crew's final stretch of training before active operations begin.
Olive – letter 65; 21st September 1944
"Home, Weds afternoon.
Dear Joviss,
Many thanks for your two letters – yesterday and today – and I do hope by now that you have received your registered parcel sent last Thursday to your last address, containing your mended shoes and washing. I'm glad now that I didn't put an apple tart in as it would not be fit to eat after being bumped about in the post so long, but if I can scrounge some cooking fat I'll send yo one now that I've got your address.
Well, and what do you think of your latest dump? Are the grub stakes any better? You may, or may not! – be interested to know that Roma Terry's husband is there where you are, and although she is at home for a few days now, they live in some cottage with a Mrs Wilson not far away. So don't be surprised if she tries to 'vamp' you, especially if any brass hats happen to be around!
I had quite a thrill the other night when we saw the first lighted lamp in St. Heliers Road, although the house windows are brighter now, so that the black-out won't hold quite so many terrors as it always has done, at least for me at any rate.
Denis tells me that Buster has been moved nearer home, to Kidderminster, and he is still in RAF uniform, but I've heard nothing else about him having to go in the army.
How is your affair with Jean going on? Poor girl wouldn't have it quite as badly as she has if she knew you as well as I do! Remember us to her.
I have killed the two cockerels I'd got and bought three more to fatten up for Xmas, so it would be quite a good idea to have your leave then, you might tell the Air Ministry that.
Well I'm still in my job – touch wood – but shall not be surprised any to find that I've got to go to the Labour Ex:
Well, here's wishing you all the best, son, and with love I'll say Cheerio for now.
Mother and Nibs. xxxx
P.S. Joyce and I had a snapshot taken this afternoon. If it is any good I'll risk sending one, in case you forget what we look like."
I'm loving how Olive has addressed this letter to 'Joviss', presumably an endearment intended to reverse the pronunciation of 'Josiff'. Very sweet. She's in great, teasing spirit in this letter, and was a capable, strong woman who had no issue with getting her hands dirty and killing the odd chicken or two for the pot! She clearly knows that the way to her son's heart is through his stomach…her letters and parcels are packed with talk of food, pies and baking for him. Wonderful stuff.

He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey.

The Russian netted his fifth league goal of the season to complete Reading's astonishing comeback against the Baggies.

Speaking to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the 29-year-old said "This was a very important win. Everybody in the dressing room was shining with happiness."
