Low Quality
By Charlie

Comments about Studio Designs Museum Easel:
The price seemed to be too good to be true, and it was. First, these are not solid wood as it states in Blick's description. They are actually a "veneer" according to the box, which is a polite way of saying plywood sawed into strips. The hinges were cheap, the wood for the tray was extremely thin plywood also, and the finish wasn't close to acceptable. I had pieces the were mottled from 30 percent to 80 percent of the surface area. These might be fine for projects where people aren't looking too close, but for anything that requires real presentation I wouldn't bother.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We were in a crunch to find a suitable easel for art items for our upcoming auction that could accommodate the weight and make items look museum quality and that we could receive in 2 days. Found this company was able to meet our needs and exceed our expectation. The quality and beauty of the easels were just what we wanted.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

good product except for missing and defective assembly parts
By rocky
from Cochecton NY
• As an instructor, I bought this product for an art school - for student displays.• Price - great price• Not so great - 1) the 2 bolts to the tray are too short 2) the hex head of one of the bolts for assembly was defective - I never fully got it screwed in3) The stain color was different from the 3 previous one I had ordered through the school so my presentation using all 4 of the easels looks bad.4) it was missing 2 wooden dowels (should have 4 - only included 2) I had to shave a pencil down to make my own wooden dowels to be able to put the easel togethergood product at a good value - fix the above 4 issues and it would be a great product

Flimsy display easel - save your money...
By Phil
from St. Joseph, MO
The easel part that canvases sits on rocks left to right and can not be fully tightened to correct the problem. It therefore is renewed useless for display purposes. Had I known this I would not have purchased it. There's a H-style easel for just $30 more could do a better job for display and you could use it as an extra easel besides.
Merchant response: We're sorry to hear that this easel won't meet your needs, and we're happy to help however we can. A member of our Customer Care Team will be reaching out to assist you.

Derwent River Valley Small-Group Day Tour with Lunch
This excursion follows the River Derwent to Curringa Farm, an award winning, sheep and cropping farm, where you will be able to enjoy a fine lunch (minimum 10 customers required for this activity), featuring products from the farm. Then a visit to the nearby Mt. Field National Park rainforest, where one can experience the magnificence of the majestic Russell Falls. On the way back to New Norfolk, the excursion will call in at the Salmon Ponds and then on to one of the wildlife parks.
Depart Hobart and travel north up the Derwent River Valley to Curringa Farm, an award-winning 750-acre (304-hectare) sheep and cropping farm, situated near Hamilton in the Southern Midlands. Approximately 1 hour north of Hobart, this farm allows you to experience sheep shearing, working sheep dogs, forest walks, and river views. Much of the morning will be spent here, culminating in a lunch, which will only be put on for a minimum of 10 customers. Alternatively, lunch will be provided at the local hotel.
After lunch, the meander will take you to Russell Falls, a picturesque cascading waterfall in the Mt. Field National Park. A 10-minute walk through the rain forest reveals a variety of beautiful vegetation, including dogwood, musk and myrtle, and towering swamp gums, the tallest flowering plant on earth. The visitor may even catch a glimpse of the local wildlife, such as a wallaby and the resident duck-billed platypus.
On the return to New Norfolk, make a stop at Salmon Ponds and Trout Hatchery where you can take a walk back in time amongst the historic buildings and trout hatchery, all set within the original parkland "leisure garden" of superb trees, hedges and lawns, surrounding large pond brimming with trout (rainbow, brown, brook and tiger trout) and salmon, with displays explaining the annual cycle of fish breeding activities. The Salmon Ponds is the oldest trout hatchery in the Southern Hemisphere, in operation since 1864.

Karen Bondarchuk spent only three semesters at NSCAD, but it was enough to change her way of thinking and her approach to art.
A transfer student from Fanshawe College in London, ON, she studied video and sculpture at NSCAD, graduating in 1989. Professor Jan Peacock had a huge influence on her as a mentor and a friend.
"NSCAD shaped who I was in a significant way," says Karen (BFA 1989), an interdisciplinary artist and associate professor at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. "My conceptual framework comes from my NSCAD years, no doubt about it."
With a conceptual approach to her art, Karen confesses her amazement at being named "Master Artist" by the Woodson Art Museum in Wisconsin in association with its annual Birds in Art exhibition last fall. But then again, perhaps it isn't surprising at all. For years, Karen has been obsessed with the corvid family of birds, which includes crows, ravens, jays, and rooks. She's produced magnificent charcoal portraits of the birds and human-sized sculptures created from rubber shards and scraps of blown-out tires picked up on the side of the highway. Recently, every day for the duration of a year, she painted or drew a bird in a series called Ergo Sum: A Crow a Day.
But is her art really about birds? Yes, and much more besides.
Her large-scale portraits, for example, explore questions of language and communication between humans and animals. Her sculptures, started when the automotive industry in Michigan took a nosedive 10 years ago, evoke human suffering tied to the downturn in the economy. Her Ergo Sum: A Crow a Day series was undertaken in homage to her mother who has advanced dementia; at times funny, somber and quirky, the project allowed her to remember her mother as she was and grieve her loss. "She's still alive but not with us anymore."
Both loved and despised, ravens and crows provide rich subject matter; in some cultures they're regarded as bringers of light and life, while in others, they're omens of death and darkness. In doing further research, she's astounded at their intelligence: their ability to make plans and carry them through; to pass on knowledge through generations; to communicate with each other; to use tools. "They rival primates in their ability to think and function," she says. Clearly, there's much more to investigate.
In naming her a Master Artist, the Woodson Art Museum pays credit to her talent, originality and the profound thought she invests in her work.
"I feel very honored by this title. It's overwhelming and humbling. I think what they appreciate in my work is what the bird can represent in a myriad of ways."

The World Happiness Report was released today, and it shows us just how happy we are as a nation.
Ireland is, for the most part, a good place to live for a few different reasons, but like most countries, we have our fair share of problems.
Now, it's been revealed that we are the 15th happiest country in the world, which is one spot lower than we were last year.
We're only one below the United States who slipped down to 14th place from last year's happier rank.
Norway nabbed the top spot as the happiest country, based on the report's evaluation of income, life expectancy, feeling of personal freedom, level of corruption, and accessibility to social support among other things.
The UK is ranked 19th happiest in the world. The World Happiness report did its first global list back in 2012, and it's interesting to see how good we've all got it (or not).
You can check out the Happiness report here.
Would you have expected us to rank around number 15?

How Solar Panels and Solar Power Work – The Basics
Solar electric panels also called photovoltaic panels or PV panels, are primarily used to power homes that are also connected to the existing power grid system. Solar panels consist of multiple solar cells that form modules. These modules are combined to form the photovoltaic panel.
The more solar panels your system has, the more you can reduce your reliance on power from the grid. You use the electricity you produce and draw any additional electricity your house needs from the grid.
To learn about the solar installation process and to view a video of solar panels being installed click here.
The Economics of Solar Panels
For most homeowners, it now makes good economic sense to run their homes on solar power. Solar Energy World gives homeowners the option to purchase their solar system or go with a PPA.
Purchasing Solar: If you own your solar system and it produces more power than you need, that electricity gets credited to you account and you receive a check back from your utility company. This is also known as net-metering. There are also tax credits and rebates that greatly reduce the cost of installation. In addition to individual state Solar Energy Grant Programs and the Solar Federal Income Tax Credit, Maryland residents who have installed a PV system and own their system can also earn and sell SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits) to help offset the cost of their system.
Solar PPA: If you decide you do not want to own your system, you can choose our RateGuardian(TM) solar PPA (Power Purchase Agreement). You pay nothing for your equipment and installation to lock in an electricity rate that is lower than your utility's. Essentially, you will not own your system so you will not be able to generate profits from SRECS or get money back from your utility but a PPA allows you to pay $0 to start saving 20% or more on your electricity costs right away. Many of our customers have found this to be the best option for them.
What are Solar Renewable Energy Credits?
A Solar Renewable Energy Credit (or SREC), is a tradable instrument that represents the environmental benefits of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. One SREC represents 1 megawatt hour of electricity.
Electricity is generated from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels emit carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOC). These emissions cause damage to our environment that increases global warming. In response to the damage that is caused, local, state and federal governments have required electricity distributors to take measures to reduce the amount of fossil fuel generated electricity and increase the amount of renewable energy within their energy mix. This is called the Renewable Portfolio Standard.
Energy distributors can meet their requirements by:
1. Investing in renewable technology directly, or
2. They can purchase the renewable attributes from owners of renewable energy sources.
Because of the second option, the Renewable Energy Credit market has evolved. Power generated by renewable energy sources (like your solar electric system) is tracked by a third party and given a certificate of production. Then, the SREC can be traded on the open market to allow utilities to meet their Renewable Portfolio Standard that are required to offset their carbon-emissions.
If you purchase a solar system from Solar Energy World, you own the Renewable Energy Credits that your system will generate. These SCRECs are similar to stocks traded through brokers – and they have financial value. Many solar companies (also known as aggregators) have an interest in purchasing your Renewable Energy Credits at a reduced rate.
Renewable Energy Credits are designed to provide solar owners with an economic incentive to investing in solar electric systems that improve the electric distribution grid. They represent the renewable attributes from your solar facility, bundled in minimum denominations of 1 megawatt hour of production. The additional income received from selling the solar certificates increases the economic value of your investment.
How it works:
Once the installation of your solar electric system is complete, the system will be inspected and certified by a third-party. After the inspection, a state certification number is generated and is used to register an account to create and manage Renewable Energy Credits.
Solar Energy World partners with an organization that offers a service to manage your account – and they make all this completely hands-free. The entire process is automated so clients can enjoy all the benefits with no effort.
Their mission is to provide the critical final component of the Renewable Energy Credit program by establishing a public marketplace connecting sellers directly to suppliers in an easy, transparent and equitable way.
Our solar consultants will walk you through this process so you're able to take full advantage of the credits, schedule a free in-home solar analysis to learn more about Renewable Energy Credits.
When you're ready, fill out the form for your Free Solar Analysis. This is the best way for you to learn all of your options and to understand how well solar will work for your home or business.

A single lateral bore was then drilled from the main bore from 1610 meters to 1703 meters measured depth. The two well bores had a separation of approximately 78 meters at total depth. The well was then completed with 73 mm (2 7/8") production tubing.
The current operation is moving the rig off location prior to conducting a short term production test. It is then intended to conduct a long term flow test through the Dongara plant as soon as practicable.
The rig has been released to Roc Oil for the drilling of the Cliff Head onshore water source well. It is expected that this operation will take approximately 14 days including rig moves. ARC has recommended to the L1/L2 joint venture that the next well after the Roc well is Corybas 1, a gas exploration/appraisal well located to the north of the Yardarino gasfield.
Managing Director's comment:
"The completion of the Dongara 32 well with two lateral well bores is another success for the ARC drilling team and is very important for ARC in that the company has 100% of the production in contrast to the other recent gas discoveries and developments where ARC is a 50% partner.
Long term flow testing is required to be able to accurately determine the potential reserves of the Arranoo pool accessed by Dongara 32, but it is anticipated that the well will provide additional deliverability for both ARC's existing customers and for peaking supply to the southwest of Western Australia during the high demand summer months.
The results of Dongara 31 and 32 have confirmed the gas and oil reserves of the Arranoo pool and the structural results have also confirmed the potential for an additional well to access the remaining Dongara Sandstone gas reserves in the north block of the main Dongara Field."

What happens when I leave the boys alone? They put on all their safety gear, shin guards and all, and pretend to battle dragons; they turn orange cones upside down and use drumsticks to make me a delicious bowl of soup. And I love it! I love it all.
You know, I wonder what's more annoying, a parent who incessantly complains about her child or one who's constantly yammering on about how great it is to be a parent.
Woohoo! Related photos follow:

This is the pigtail harness you need with the PXDP box to make your ipod work. Very simple install, just plug everything together. You can't screw it up, only plugs together one way! My install was in a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Again, install in a piece of cake, took all of about 30 minutes, and most of that was fishing the cable down behind the dash. ( I wanted it in a specific spot ) if you don't care where it comes out, this literally takes 10 minutes to install - and sounds great! Highly recommend if you want that factory radio look but ipod flexibility! Sonic rocks!

My colleagues and friends, Patti Stirling and Ken Walker, have spoken to numerous audiences about the risks of leaving "digital dirt" lying around on the net. Simply put, employers eliminate job seekers and fire employees when they find their digital dirt, and doing a Google search for your own name won't find all your dirt.
Now DeeAnna Merz Nagel of the American Counseling Association asks, "Is it okay to 'Google' your client?" Patti and Ken have told us that Google won't dredge up all the information about a client but, should you be looking at all? What do you think?

I think you've hit the nail on the head here, Bill, with "should you be looking at all?" - I'm interested in the fact that it occurs to us to google clients at all... is that natural curiosity? Do therapists stop to think before trending towards the possible automatic reaction of seeking information on the Internet?
Thanks for blogging!

US Immigration Policy Likely to Boost Population
US Immigration Policy Likely to Boost Population
NEW YORK: As the new US Administration and Congress begin to tackle immigration reform they will again be faced with the weighty question of how large should America's population be in the future. Should America's population continue to grow indefinitely, perhaps doubling to 600 million by the end of the century? Clearly, any answer to this vital demographic question has serious and far-reaching economic, political, social and environmental consequences for America as well as for the international community of nations.
Some of America's leading policymakers uncritically accept that an expanding population with increased immigration is good for America, ensuring its prosperity, power and harmonious relations with other nations with little if any adverse effects. Most others simply choose to ignore or equivocate on this fundamental demographic question, as has so often been done in past.
Leaders in the Senate and Administration will likely focus their attention on narrow aspects of immigration reform, as they did in the recent report of the Independent Task Force on US Immigration Policy, which – except for the paper it was printed on – ignored environmental implications of the policy. However, decisions and policies on US immigration, including future levels, priorities, high-skilled migration and illegal immigration, effectively load the demographic dice for America's future.
Contrary to popular thought, the dominant force fueling America's demographic growth is not natural increase, but immigration. This is because immigrants not only add their own numbers to the nation's overall population, but also contribute a disproportionate number of births whose effects are compounded over time. A couple of examples help to illustrate this important point.
The first example considers the contribution of immigration to America's population growth since its founding in 1776. If international migration had ceased after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, America's population would have likely been no more than 127 million today and perhaps closer to 100 million, far short of its current size of 307 million (Figure 1). Over this 233-year period, migration's contribution (migrants and their descendents) is dominant, accounting for at least 60 percent of America's population growth.
The second example illustrates immigration's impact on America's population from a future perspective. By mid-century the US population is projected to reach 439 million, assuming current annual net migration of about 1.3 million increasing gradually to 2 million (Figure 2). However, if further immigration were to cease, the US population in 2050 would likely be about 100 million less, i.e., roughly 345 million. Again, the major force behind the future growth of America's population, at least 70 percent in this instance, is the addition of immigrants and their descendants.
Beyond its major impact on the size of America's population, immigration also has a significant effect on the country's age structure. Notably, immigration slows down population ageing. For example, the proportion of America's population aged 65 years or older in 2050 is projected to be about 20 percent with immigration versus 25 percent without immigration. Obviously, immigration trends have non-trivial implications for the future financial well-being of social security and health care systems for the elderly. However, immigration is not a solution to population ageing insofar as the immigrants themselves also age and eventually retire.
Immigration is also altering America's ethnic composition and culture, i.e., less European and more Latin American, Asian and African. Throughout the 19th century and most of the 20th, the US foreign born population was predominately from European countries, e.g., Germany, Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom. Today the top five countries are no longer of European origin but are Mexico, China, Philippines, India and Vietnam, with Mexico accounting for a third of the foreign born. As a result, America will increasingly look, sound and act differently over the coming decades – which is neither good nor bad but different. By mid-century, for example, one out five Americans is expected to be an immigrant - higher than ever before - with Hispanics accounting for 30 percent of the nation's population.
As a result of continuing high rates of immigration and fertility levels at replacement, America is the most populous developed country, representing nearly five percent of the world population. In addition, America's demographic standing relative to the billion-plus club of China and India remains more or less unchanged for the foreseeable future. However, its demographic standing among developed nations as a whole is expected to increase from a quarter today to a third by 2050. Moreover, with respect to the European Union (27), America is projected to achieve parity with it in roughly 50 years and exceed EU's population well before the close of the century.
So then, what is the role of international migration in America's future? With current demographic trends likely to continue for some time, immigration can be expected to continue to play a major role in the future size, age-structure and ethnic composition of America.
However, it is important to keep in mind that while these population projections for America's future appear likely, they are not necessarily inevitable. Demographic trends may change radically due to behavioral changes and unanticipated events impacting fertility and mortality as well as changes in America's immigration practices and policies.
These projections raise the fundamental question of how much larger should America's population be. Over the past several decades, the White House and Congress established various commissions to comprehensively address the future size of America's population. In general, these high-level advisory bodies concluded that in the long run, no substantial benefits would result from the further growth of the nation's population. And in particular, they recognized that America cannot grow indefinitely and recommended that the country welcome and plan for a gradual stabilization of its population.
Also, they concluded that there is hardly any problem confronting America whose solution would be easier with a larger population. Moving toward population stabilization would contribute significantly to America's ability to solve its domestic problems as well as many of those abroad, especially energy and resource consumption, climate change and environmental sustainability. Moreover, without US leadership as demonstrated by domestic efforts to stabilize its population and thereby mitigate further damage to the environment, other nations would be reluctant to adopt policies and practices to stabilize their populations and work toward developmental and ecological sustainability.
As the new US Administration and Congress begin to deal with immigration, they could decide to alter the direction of the country's current pro-growth immigration policies and plan for a gradual stabilization of America's population, as the various advisory commissions have indeed recommended. This outcome would be environmentally beneficial and advantageous to America's long term interests.
Given the current economic and political climate, it seems doubtful that the US Congress will be able to address immigration reform any time soon. However, when they do begin debating US immigration policies, it would be wise to consider demographic realities, future population projections and likely environmental costs and not simply embrace the traditional pro-growth ethic that "more is better." Congress and the Administration have an opportunity to address immigration reform in the broader context of America's population. If they choose to do otherwise, expect another 100 million Americans to be joining us very soon.

The Elements
Two Mistakes Financial Advisors Make in an Elevator Speech
Categories: Uncategorized
I'm asked this question almost daily, "What is it that you do?" In a matter of seconds, I can stumble and fumble for the words or have a clearly defined answer that inspires further conversation.
Two Key Mistakes To Avoid:
Two key mistakes that typically occur as firms create their value proposition:
- The value proposition does not trigger others to ask questions.
- The team is unable to communicate the firm's message.
A value proposition cannot be a vague description of the products and services you offer but should create a distinct fingerprint to set your practice apart from others. Your message needs to communicate in one or two sentences who you serve, what your business does, and why it is valuable.
Three Questions You Need To Answer:
These three questions need to be answered prior to creating your value proposition. You are welcome to use any of the following examples:
- Who do you serve?
- Describe your target market
- What are the needs and challenges of your clients and prospects?
- Tax efficient investing
- Estate planning
- Knowing how much money is enough to retire
- Income generation
- How to respond to market volatility
- How do you offer value to your clients? – How will you satisfy their needs?
- Ease nervousness during market volatility
- Relieve major concerns about retirement
- Ensure their legacy will live on for the next generation
- Develop wealth management plans based on personal goals, objectives, and risk tolerance
Extra Tips To Consider:
- Create interest by telling a short story.
- Focus on your client's point of view.
- Choose two or three keywords – using a few industry keywords will likely spark interest and motivate others to ask more about your unique value offering.
- Differentiate yourself from your competitors – you will not be able to accomplish this based on products alone.
- Keep it simple and professional – avoid trying to develop a catchy phrase that ends up sounding silly.
A Value Proposition Template:
Use the template below to start crafting your value proposition.
"We serve ____________________ (target market) who ____________________ (describe clients/prospects needs and challenges) our ______________________ (describe product/services using keywords) that _____________________________________ (describe the value and benefit your clients/prospects receive)."
Position yourself as someone who understands where your clients and prospects are coming from, where they are going, and what they need along the journey to reach their destination.

The Water: Seasonal Variations
Water Index => Stratification Details
Seasonal Variations: It's All About the Temperature
We all know bodies of water warm in summer, cool in winter, and freeze over if small enough. But what exactly is happening down there? Sunshine or lack thereof drives the annual temperature cycles, just like our land-based seasons. The lakes even have four seasons to match: spring "turnover", summer stratification, fall "turnover", and the winter mixed period. The length of the two turnover periods are relatively short and usually lasts for a few weeks to a month or so. Winter mixing occurs for approximately five months, and stratification approximately six months in Cayuga Lake.
During winter, the lake is considered isothermal (the same temperature) from top to bottom, and the wind and currents mix the lake water throughout the water column. While this is essentially true, there are often little variations in this sameness. The sun may heat the surface water during calm periods and cause weak stratification, but the wind, length of night and cold air temperatures prevent it from lasting more than a few days.
The bottom of the lake may contain pockets of slightly warmer water, as water is most dense at 39 degrees F. The surface may be 35° with the warmer water below, as well as most of the fish community. The earth itself is relatively warm and adds a slight amount of heat to the lake water, and biological activity on the bottom does too. The 39 degree water will tend to accumulate in certain areas of the lake bottom under light winds. However, the average winter wind is far stronger than any slight stratification or pocket heating and will easily mix the water again. As spring approaches, the entire lake begins to gain heat and the water warms slightly from top to bottom. With continued warming, the lake begins to seperate into distinct temperature layers.
The lake warms from late March until September and loses heat the rest of the year. There are year to year variations mostly due to weather patterns, but in general, the lake begins to gain heat energy around the spring equinox, and lose heat at the fall equinox. Just as with our seasons, the cycle depends on available sunlight: when the days are longer than the nights, the lake gains heat and when the nights are longer, it loses heat.
There are also yearly variations in the annual heat budget, that is, one year it may gain more than it loses, or even for several years in a row. This can cause slight variations in the average yearly lake temperature, but it all averages out in the long run. (More or less... and global warming, sorry, but it's here, will undoubtedly change our waters, and the average lake temperature will start increasing.eventually.)
Weather conditions during this period are critical for determining the annual heat budget. Any excess heat, above the annual average, is stored in the hypolimnion, the cold deep layer of water in the lake. Varying conditions lead to slight differences in water column structure and temperature. A sunny, windy spring will warm the hypolimnion the most, as increasing amounts of solar energy enter the lake and high winds keep it well mixed. This will also lead to a deeper than average metalimnion (which includes the thermocline). A sunny, calm spring leads to a colder lake bottom and shallower metalimnion. Eventually the density gradient (due to water temperature difference) becomes too great for the wind to overcome, and the lake becomes fully stratified and remains so until fall.
The summer months feature warm surface water and good recreational oppotunities. Unfortunately, my favored trout species are found far below! Early on, in late spring, the thermocline is shallow and sharp, allowing lake trout and other salmonids near the surface. As time passes, the thermocline deepens and all the salmonids in the lake follow. Excessive wind events can bring cold water back to the surface as upwellings, but in general, the trout and baitfish are in the depths.
As the lake waters cool into fall, several things occur. The depth of the thermocline increases, and it becomes wider. Heat energy is no longer concentrated on the surface and begins to dissipate into the depths as the epilimnion disappears and metalimnion deepens and widens. Eventually the temperature and density gradient breaks down and the wind is able to mix the entire water column. The lake continues to cool into winter, reaching its coldest temperatures in February and early March.

The Loach Forum Archives (4)
Thanks folks!
Posted By: Nick <email@example.com>
Date: Saturday, 13 July 2002, at 4:41 p.m.
Thanks for all the insight into loaches. Unfortunantly, my first 3 all passed away, but the last 3 I purchased have so far been thriving. One of the main differences in the first and last 3 is this (maybe one of you can fill me in on this): the first 3 hid all the time, while the last 3 are a complete 180 turn around and play all day long, explore, and pester my betta. :) Why is that? They came from the same store, same tank, just 3 days apart.
Also, another question.....loaches changing colors. My new ones I have noticed changing colors. For nstance, One I saw was hiding and he was yellow with the traditional black stripes....while one playing at the exact same time was yellow with silver stripes. Why is that?
I do now know why they call them "clown" loaches.

Author Q and A: David Stuttard
In anticipation of the release of our new title Power Games : Ritual and Rivalry at the Ancient Greek Olympics we spoke to author, playwright and classicist David Stuttard about Ancient Greece, London 2012 and which historical figure he most identifies with.
What did you find most exciting about embarking on Power Games: Ritual and Rivalry at the Ancient Greek Olympics?
There have been lots of books written about the Ancient Olympics, but what I was really excited about doing was trying to capture what the atmosphere might have been like at one particular Games. To do this, I had to know not only exactly what was going on at the time I'd chosen (416 bc) but also precisely what the actual site at Olympia looked like in that year. I wanted to be able to take the reader on a journey through Olympia with all its temples and statues and administrative buildings, so I needed to be able to build my own 3-D map of the site (albeit in my head). That meant reading ancient accounts and getting to know as much as I possibly could about the physical geography – and revisiting the archaeological remains at Olympia, too, which (although I'd been several times before) came as something of a shock. I'd created a really vivid mental picture of the site as it existed in all its glory in 416 bc and today, of course, it's in ruins.
The first recorded Olympic Games took place in 776BC; can you tell us why you chose the events of 416BC as the focus for Power Games?
416 bc was a pivotal year for the ancient Olympics. For one thing, it came at the end of a few years of phoney peace in the middle of a war (the Peloponnesian War) which involved pretty much the entire Greek world, stretching from modern Turkey to Sicily, as well as the Aegean islands and the Greek mainland itself. For another, it involved big personalities, and the biggest of them all was Alkibiades. In the 416 bc Games he entered a staggering seven teams in the chariot race, so that he came first, second and (depending on who you believe) either third or fourth. He was, in fact, using the Games as a vehicle for propaganda – not only for himself but for his city, Athens. We know that other important politicians from all over the Greek world were at the Games, too, using the occasion as an opportunity to hold talks and broker deals, so, given the fact that the book explores not just the athletic side of the Festival but the political and religious aspects too, it really did seem that 416 was the ideal year to focus on. And it was. I didn't once regret the choice.

Tim & Megan Schmidt
Tim Schmidt Ministries
Hebrews 10:24-25 says, "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." The Schmidts' desire is to encourage pastors and local churches, spur Christians towards revival, and see souls saved. They accomplish this through strong Bible preaching, children's meetings, and music.
Raised in a Christian home, Tim realized at an early age he needed to be saved. Thus, he put his faith in Christ Jesus for salvation. At the age of fifteen, God called Tim to evangelism. After graduating from high school in California, he traveled to Ambassador Baptist College in Lattimore, North Carolina to be trained.
While in college, God provided many opportunities for practical ministry experience. He was active in local church ministries through pulpit supply, youth, music, and sound. A highlight of his college years was his five-week evangelism internship in Hawaii and California with Evangelist Rich Tozour and family. Most importantly, God brought Megan into his life during his senior year.
After graduating, Tim and Megan headed west to work with Pastor Dave Earnhart at Fundamental Baptist Church in Escondido, CA where they served for four years. They worked in ministries such as youth, music, and soulwinning. In 2007, God led them back to Tim's hometown of Sacramento to further prepare under Pastor Mike Rodgers at Faith Baptist Tabernacle in North Highlands, which is currently their home base.
