Doomriders "New Pyramids" + Full Live Set
Published May 09, 2013Doomriders have yet to fully details their impending third LP, but the metal/hardcore/hard rock explorers have begun playing some new tunes out on the road. The band's set in Quincy, MA, this past Monday (May 6), for instance, opened with a fresh cut called "New Pyramids."
The track starts up with a hypnotic drum rattle and a screeching guitar bend passage, but ultimately rolls out over a series of eerily trilled-out licks, thick and doomy chords, and viciously spat screams from head honcho Nate Newton. You can see the crushing cut and the rest of their set in the player down below.
As previously reported, the band took to Newton's Converge bandmate Kurt Ballou's GodCity studios in Salem, MA, this past January. A release date has not yet been set for the follow-up to 2009's Darkness Comes Alive, but it's expected later this year.

Mongolian Mining Increasing 2013-14 Coking Coal Output, But Shelves Thermal Coal Production Till 2015
Aug 08, 2012 (Dow Jones Newswires) -- --Mongolian Mining holds off from thermal coal production until 2015
--Mongolian Mining sees higher coking coal output despite market woes
--Mongolian Mining has sufficient funding for railway project
HONG KONG--Mongolian Mining Corp. (0975.HK), Mongolia's top coal producer by volume, has cut its 2013-14 overall output target by over 13% due coking and thermal coal price differentials, logistical issues and weaker demand, Chief Executive Battsengel Gotov told Dow Jones Newswires.
The reduction comes at a time of slowing global economic activity, reduced coal demand in many countries and an expected fall in China's second-half 2012 steel output. The steel industry is a major user of coking coal, which is more expensive than thermal coal used for power generation.
"Coal demand is slowing, but supply remains strong particularly from North America and Australia. I think this pressure will continue in the second half," Mr. Gotov said.
The Ulan Bator-based company has decided to shelve plans to start producing thermal coal, and now won't do so until an export railway to China comes into service in 2015, although it will boost coking coal output next year.
It is targeting a 2013-14 coking coal output of 12 million-13 million metric tons, up from 10 million tons planned earlier, but now won't be producing an anticipated 5 million tons of thermal coal, he said.
"We revised the production plan as the profit margin of coking coal is higher than that of thermal coal. We are trying to maximize the benefit to the company," Mr. Gotov said. "Once the railway is in place, the transportation costs will be lower and the economic benefit of selling thermal coal will become appealing."
China's coking coal prices fell 5%-10% in the first half due to lower demand from steel mills in response to slowing orders from the construction, ship-building and machinery manufacturing sectors.
Mongolia is a preferred choice for Chinese coking coal importers given its lower transportation costs and quality levels comparable with Australian coal.
Mongolia, which overtook Australia to become China's largest coking coal supplier in 2011, exported 10.3 million tons in the first half of this year, a rise of 34%, with the bulk of this extra supply going to China.
To reduce transportation costs, Mongolian Mining is building a 240-kilometer railway from its Ukhaa Khudag mine to the China-Mongolia border at Gashuun Sukhait, at a cost of some $700 million, which will be fully operational in 2015, Mr. Gotov said.
The company, which raised $650 million in Hong Kong in 2010, has sufficient capital to pay for the railway, as it had issued US$600 million notes in March this year, he said.
The Hong Kong-listed company, which reported a 56% rise in first-half net profit to US$31 million, currently sends all its China-bound coking coal by truck.
Meritus: Mongolian Mineral Resources Council Accepts Gutain Davaa Gold Resource for Registration
Vancouver, B.C., August 9 (TheNewswire.ca) Meritus Minerals Ltd. (MML) (TSX-V- MER) Meritus is pleased to advise that the high grade gold resource at the Toordogiin Shil Prospect on the Gutain Davaa Project has been accepted for registration by the Mongolian Mineral Resources Council after review and approval by a number of experts. Under the Mongolian system, which is required to be used for registration, the resource is classified as a B+C Resource of 3.17415 tonnes of gold at an average grade of 5.73gAu/t.
NOTE: Due to methodology used this resource is not compliant with NI 43-101 or JORC Code reporting standards.
The resource can be expressed in conventionally used language as approximately 550,000 tonnes grading 5.73gAu/t for 102,000 ounces of contained gold. The resource has been assessed on the basis that it only includes mineralization that could be available for underground mining.
Meritus is also pleased to advise that its new partners are making good progress with advancing the project
An Environmental Impact Assessment has been completed. This has been presented to the Ministry of Nature Environment Tourism and the local Soum (district) administration for their evaluation. Other activity of significance that benefits the project has been the extensive repairs carried out to the only bridge in this district across the Onon River to allow better access to the site. Our partners are also making considerable effort in explaining the project and its potential benefits to the local community and are reviewing with the local authorities methods by which the local community will benefit and can be involved in the project.
Preliminary discussions with the Mineral Resource Authority of Mongolia are underway with the objective of entering into a pre-mining agreement
Prophecy Coal halts Ulaan Ovoo operations due to oversupply
August 9 (Proactive Investors) Prophecy Coal Corp. (CVE:PCY) temporarily halted coal mining operations in Mongolia at its Ulaan Ovoo mine, in a move that will see 80 workers laid off.
The Vancouver-based company, which announced the news on Thursday, said its coal stockpile which is at 187,000 tonnes is sufficient to meet contractual supply obligations for fiscal 2012.
About 80 mining staff has been laid off, while Prophecy has paid out a total of $100,000 in severance costs.
Prophecy said 15 workers will remain on-site for equipment, maintenance, shipping and security during the shutdown.
The company expects the local labour force to remain available for "prompt rehire" when needed, due to little local employment competition.
The shutdown is expected to last six months but could cease sooner, if Prophecy snags new coal sale contracts.
Prophecy Coal said it is using the downtime to work with Mongolian officials to seek road and bridge improvements, and to open the Zeltura border to facilitate Russia export sales.
The overall effect of the suspended operations will be modestly cash flow positive as Ulaan Ovoo operations had not yet achieved break-even levels.
Prophecy Coal is engaged in developing energy projects in Mongolia.
The company's proposed 600 megawatt power plant next to the Chandgana coal deposit has been permitted by the Mongolian government.
The project will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 will see two 150 megawatt and transmission lines built next year and completed by 2016. Phase 2 construction will see two 150 megawatts being built in 2014 and finished by 2017.
Since obtaining the license, the company has been in on-going talks with the Mongolian government to finalize power purchase agreements to secure the country's long-term energy supply.
Denison Mines Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 9, 2012) - Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison" or the "Company") (TSX:DML)(NYSE MKT:DNN)(NYSE Amex: DNN) today reported its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2012. All amounts in this release are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Mineral Property Exploration
Denison is engaged in uranium exploration, as both operator and non-operator of joint ventures and as operator of its own properties in Canada, Mongolia and Zambia. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 exploration expenditures totaled $4,396,000 as compared to $2,442,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 exploration expenditures totaled $7,416,000 compared to $5,591,000 for the same period in 2011.
Exploration expenditures of $2,516,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 ($664,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011) and $2,822,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 ($969,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011) were incurred in Mongolia on the Company's joint venture properties. A 29,600 metre drill program has been completed on the Urt Tsav and Ulziit properties. The drilling on Ulziit successfully expanded the 2011 discovery.
The Company currently has an 85% interest in the Gurvan Saihan Joint Venture ("GSJV") in Mongolia. The other party to the joint venture is the Mongolian government with a 15% interest. Under the Nuclear Energy Law of Mongolia, the Mongolian participant in the GSJV is entitled to hold a 34% to 51% interest in the GSJV, depending on the amount of historic exploration that was funded by the Government of Mongolia, to be acquired at no cost to the Mongolian participant. This interest would be held by Mon-Atom LLC, the Mongolian state-owned uranium company.
Outlook for 2012
Business Development
Denison's plans for Canada, Zambia and Mongolia are not anticipated to change for 2012 as a result of the Transaction. Total expenditures on development and exploration projects in 2012, excluding the U.S., are estimated at $22.3 million.
In Mongolia, a $4.3 million exploration program is projected. The 29,600 metre drilling program on the Urt Tsav and Ulziit properties is complete. Discussions to finalize the GSJV restructuring will restart in September with the government and regulatory authorities following the June election.
Mongolian parliament appoints Altanhuyag as new PM
ULAN BATOR, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- The State Great Hural of Mongolia (parliament) on Thursday elected Norov Altanhuyag as the country's new prime minister.
During the plenary session of the parliament held Thursday night, Altanhuyag, chairman of the Democratic Party of Mongolia, won 72.4 percent of the vote to gain the premiership.
Altanhuyag previously served as the first deputy prime minister in the coalition government formed by the Mongolian People's Party and Democratic Party from 2008 to 2012.
The Democratic Party secured 31 seats in the 76-member parliament in the June 28 parliamentary election, making it the body's largest party.
Failing to gain an absolute majority in parliament, the party decided to form a coalition government with Civil Will-Green Party as well as with the Justice Coalition formed by Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and Mongolian National Democratic Party.
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, August 9 (The International Republican Institute) – Women members of Mongolia's Parliament wasted little time in getting to work after their election on June 28, 2012. Tripling their numbers in this election from three to nine, the new members capitalized on this momentum to create an informal parliamentary caucus with the encouragement of the Women's Democracy Network at the International Women's Leadership Forum held in July 2012.
Putting partisanship aside, the women quickly organized, elected their own leadership and agreed upon an agenda. This was completed all before the Mongolian Secretary General of the Parliament was elected and committee chairs were assigned. The women then focused on their first priority: improving the quality of maternity hospitals.
At their first legislative meeting, held on August 6, 2012, the Mongolian Parliamentary Women's Caucus brought much needed national attention to the quality of maternity hospitals. In addition to members of the caucus, officials from Mongolia's Ministry of Health, hospital administrators and representatives from more than 16 local Mongolian health related civil society organizations addressed this unspoken crisis.
The caucus also heard from obstetricians and health care professionals via a video of taped interviews that explained key issues facing maternity hospitals today. This includes an insufficient number of maternity beds and a dwindling number of maternity health care professionals. Low salaries, burdensome government regulation and a lack of training capacity contribute to the problems that maternity hospitals face.
"Thanks to IRI support, we are now able to focus on this pressing issue," said Erdenechimeg Luvsan, chair of the caucus. "There is a shortage of more than 600 maternity specialists in the country and with the information and recommendations gathered in this workshop we will bolster our arguments for increased funding in the national budget."
The legislative workshop was supported by the International Republican Institute with funding from the National Endowment for Democracy.
Munkh-Erdene's boxing win makes London 2012 Mongolia's most successful Olympics ever
August 8 (Inside The Games) It was one of those priceless Olympic moments.
At around 10 o'clock, a small corner of East London was transformed suddenly into an outpost of Ulan Bator, as scores of Mongolians celebrated a new Olympic landmark for the landlocked Asian country.
The victory of boxer Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg (pictured above, left, and below, left) in his light welterweight quarter-final bout against host nation favourite Thomas Stalker (pictured below, right) means that Mongolia is now assured of winning more medals at London 2012 than in any previous Olympics.
With a silver and two bronze medals already in the bank, Uranchimeg's win means that two Mongolian boxers – flyweight Tugstsogt Nyambayar being the other – have qualified for the semi-final stage of their respective competitions.
This assures them of at least a bronze medal.
This, in turn, guarantees Mongolia a haul of at least five medals – a new record.
The country has mustered four medals on three previous occasions, most recently in Beijing four years ago, when it won its first two golds.
It seems particularly appropriate that this record should have been attained at London 2012, as the metal ore for some of the medals was mined in Mongolia.
In effect, the five medals will be going home.
Uranchimeg's victory was all the more noteworthy as it was achieved in a highly-charged atmosphere, with the vast majority of spectators noisily urging on the home favourite Stalker.
The din ratcheted up still further for the start of the third and final round, which the Mongolian began with a 14-13 lead.
Stalker responded with a relentless, if sometimes guileless, assault, but at the bell, it was impossible to say whether the red-vested Briton had done enough.
The answer when it came was 'not quite', Uranchimeg taking the decision by 23 points to 22.
As a distraught Stalker stormed away, the 100-200 Mongolians present – many armed with the highly distinctive red, blue and gold national flag – began their celebrations in earnest.
They had chanted their support throughout the contest, in spite of being comprehensively outnumbered.
Now they assembled in a happy gaggle at the foot of one of the stands.
One fan said that their fighter's performance had made the 11-hour flight to London worthwhile.
It was, of course, a particularly special moment for Uranchimeg himself, boxing in his third Olympics.
"My soul is full of emotion," he said.
"It has been my longstanding dream to get a medal, which I have now achieved."
The watching Chultem Otgonbaatar Sato, first vice president of the Mongolian Sports Press Union, indicated that there was every chance the country's medal haul would grow further in the final days of the Games.
Dates with the figure '8' in had proved lucky for Mongolia in the past, he told me.
This latest Olympic landmark had been achieved on the eighth day of the eighth month.
Mongolia: Racing in the Hoof Steps of Genghis Khan
August 9 (Eurasianet) When Genghis Khan's army emerged from the Mongolian steppe back in the 13th century, one of the keys to his success was an equine postal system that enabled messages to travel across his vast and growing empire in a matter of days. He oversaw the establishment of a network of horse stations that allowed riders to exchange their exhausted steeds for fresh mounts and keep on moving.
Now, following in the hoof steps of the Khan's hordes comes a modern-day take on the 13th-century's information superhighway – the Mongol Derby. Billed as the world's longest horse race, this grueling 1,000-kilometer marathon will retrace ancient routes across the rolling steppe with 25 horse stations set up at 40-kilometer intervals.
This year, the race, which has been held annually since 2009, gets underway on August 10. Competitors aim to complete the course on semi-wild mounts in an exhausting seven to ten days. The event aims to raise money for economic development charity work in Mongolia. It's the brainchild of The Adventurists, the group that is also behind the annual Mongol Rally, a race from London to Ulaanbaatar in a vehicle with an engine size of one liter or less.
For the riders in this extreme equine test, the keyword is "adventure." There's no route as such: It's up to participants to make their way between the horse stations as quickly as they can. At the stations each must pick up fresh horses. Accommodation is basic: Competitors either share a ger, a round felt tent, with a nomadic family or sleep under the stars in the wilderness.
Mongolian horses are renowned for being ultra-tough and holding amazing reserves of stamina. Let's hope the same can be said about the riders as they set off in the hoof steps of the Mongol warriors.

The Universal Law is one of the 7 Powers affecting everything in the physical world – including all of our thoughts and actions.
It consists of 8 component Laws.
The first one is called:
The Law Of Cause And Effect
A short overview of how this law affects the quality of our life and our happiness:
When happiness leaks out from our life due to daily struggle, stress, worries and busyness of life – we stop being conscious, and we miss out not only on the beauty and importance of our existence, but also on the gifts that life and the Universe offer us in abundance.
We tend to believe that action means only a physical doing. Yet according to the Master Teachings of HOPE – every single thought results in an outcome, and is considered an action. No exceptions.
For centuries, various institutions and people have usurped the right to rule our lives and fate, telling us how to live in order to stay safe and happy. And we know where they have led us: unhappiness, the economy that "feeds" the ambitions and greed of those who take advantage of the rest, a civilization that heads toward self-destruction, an exhausted and ill planet.
Our thoughts ARE actions.
Our lack of understanding that we are able to change things to the way we want the to be – IS action.
Science (mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology) teaches us that every action has an effect. The same principle – that is "Cause and Effect" – has been taught by every existing philosophy or belief system.
There is no thought, as there is no action that has gone by without creating a concrete result in the field of Energy we all share. (See: How We Create & Co-Create Our Reality)
What we think, what we believe, the way of reasoning we've gotten used to – all of it has a certain outcome and results in what kind of reality we create for ourselves and for others.
When we blindly follow what others imprinted in our mind, and our subconscious mind, we not only live on "automatic pilot" – but we also give away our own power to live the life we want and deserve: in happiness and comfort, and with dignity.
The level of our consciousness directly affects the level of our happiness and the quality of our life.
Happiness helps us generate new ideas, go beyond specific information, think outside the box and come up with more creative solutions.
It is the door opening to the better understanding of the mechanisms of life, expanding our consciousness and reaching far beyond our limitations.
When we are filled with fears and doubts – we are stuck in a vicious circle of hopelessness, stress and struggle. And we all know what results from that.
Those who took away your right to decide your fate took away your power by lowering the level of your consciousness. It has been going on for centuries. Various institutions and various people usurped the power to rob others of dignity and consciousness – so that THEY can decide our fate.
Remember, we were not born that way. We were born full of joy, trusting the world and ready to create the best for ourselves. We were conscious of our own magnificence, and we were conscious of our own power – as early as infancy.
It is time to claim back that power. It is time to be conscious of all that we can be.
When you know how to consciously create your reality – you have the power to decide your fate.
The good news is that thoughts can be changed.
We can rewire our brains for happiness.
We can become happier, more effective, enjoying and creating the life we want and deserve.
In order to avoid mistakes – we need to listen to what's inside our Heart. All fears, doubts and negativity reside outside of our Heart, and can easily occupy our mind.
* In the Master Teachings of HOPE, we use the word "Heart" to describe the core of our essence, our "pure inner person". The part of us where we hold our own beautiful truth, free of any conditioning and fears.
Start with small steps, one day at a time.
Achieving Happiness – STEP ONE:
When a negative thought comes to mind, tell it "Stop!" – as many times as you need. Then say to yourself: "This is only a thought, and thoughts can be changed. I can think any thoughts I choose. I choose to think thoughts free of fear and negativity." Then think of something really nice. Slowly, you will learn to replace negative thoughts with pleasant ones.
Look into your Heart before you act. Let your Heart speak – its vision is bigger than your vision of yourself and your vision of the world.
"When you think new positive thoughts, you begin to produce different chemical substances associated with new positive emotions, and new neural pathways in your brain are being created. The more often you repeat positive thoughts, the stronger the new neural pathways become. For example, think of a new shortcut through a field. The more you use this new path, the deeper and more comfortable it becomes." – from the book "Master Teachings of HOPE" – Volume 1, by Johanna Kern
REMEMBER ALSO: OUR SUBCONSCIOUS rules 90% of our thinking and behavior. It is responsible for our habits, emotions, automatic reactions, defensive mechanisms etc., which may keep us stuck in unwanted situations in life. You can reprogram your subconscious and get rid of the negative patterns stopping you from living the life you want.
Useful Affirmation for STEP ONE:
"I distance myself from the negative self-talk. Whenever thoughts of my inability to be successful, happy or loved cross my mind – I label them 'old thoughts'. I replace them with 'new thoughts' repeating to myself: I can do, feel and achieve anything I want. I can be anything I want and have the life I deserve and desire for myself." – From the book "365 (+1) Affirmations to Create a Great Life" by Johanna Kern
The Law of Cause and Effect works with no exceptions:
If you decide to change your thoughts – that's how it's going to be.
Take your time – step by step – that always works the best.
Have love and patience for yourself. We are beautiful and powerful humans. We can and we want to decide our own lives.
The 8 Components of the Universal Law will help us at every step.
These laws affect us with no exception in all areas of life: private and professional, art and science, business and politics etc. – whether we are aware of it or not:
1. The Law of Cause and Effect/Cause and Solution
2. The Law of Originating, Growing and Passing
3. The Law of Reduction and Expansion
4. The Law of Appearances
5. The Law of Chain Reaction
6. The Law of Self-Direction
7. The Law of Infinity
Detailed information about the 8 components of the Universal Law, other Powers creating the material world, what is consciousness and the Wheel of Creation, how to achieve happiness, develop personal power and what are the ways to create/change our own reality can be found in the books: "Master and The Green-eyed Hope" (basic level) and "Master Teachings of HOPE" – Volume 1, (advanced level) – by Johanna Kern
In her book "Master Teachings of HOPE" – Volume 1, Johanna Kern guides the readers through a specific program designed to expand your vision of yourself, sharpen your intuition and awake some of the dormant areas of your brain. The book also contains twelve never before published Inner Journeys, allowing the readers to discover their Own Truth, and train their brain for new ways of thinking.
Johanna Kern, transformational teacher and multiple award-winning author ("Master and the Green-Eyed Hope", "Master Teachings of HOPE", "365 (+ 1) Affirmations to Have a Great Life", "Secrets of Love for Everyone", "Shadowland: The Legend"), many years ago suddenly began to experience regular spontaneous trances in which she found herself in an ancient temple, where she was receiving the Master Teachings OF HOPE from an ancient Master.
The Master Teachings Of HOPE gave her answers to the most important questions occupying human minds for centuries and a new look at all that we hold as sacred – ourselves, our origins and purpose:
From what is the meaning of our existence, to how to achieve true Happiness, Success, Power, Abundance and Freedom from all limitations. From how our thoughts function in the field of energy that we all are a part of, to what is the meaning and nature of life, matter, spirit – and what really is the Wheel of Creation.
She shares her knowledge and helps people to find their own power and progress in all areas of their lives. Her books and audio recordings are available on this site, as well as on Amazon and other major online retailers around the world – in English, German and Polish languages.

On this week's podcast, Marcus sits down with Matt Golden. Matt is the owner of Loda Bier Garten, home of over 100 types of beer on tap and some seriously fantastic burgers! Listen to this week's podcast to see how he got from working the ER, in medical sales and as a Winn-Dixie bag boy to owning multiple bars and restaurants.
Marcus: Awesome, Matt. Welcome to podcast.
Matt: Thank you.
Marcus: Yeah. Now we were talking a little bit before hand. I am a big fan of your burgers.
Matt: You're not alone.
Marcus: So, no, I think a number of years ago I wrote a blog post for some friends that kept asking me, cause we had moved down here and people on the Eastern shore were not very familiar with a lot of the restaurants that were in downtown. And I kept raving about how good the eating was and is still. And if I remember correctly, your entry was for the best burger that I'd had in Downtown. There's another location that I have become quite fond of and I won't mention them because we're interviewing you today. I think the Sugar Rush burger at the time and now you've added like a waffle burger and stuff ...
Matt: Yeah, we've got all kinds of stuff. We've got about 12 different burgers. The Sugar Rush is one of our more popular sweet and savory ones. We've got the waffle burger. We actually just had one called the Honey Boo-Boo which is ... it's got two honey buns, Nutella, raspberry jam, bacon, cheddar ...
Marcus: Oh my gosh.
Matt: I feel like cardiology associates should be giving me money.
Marcus: Does it come with a side of Prilosec, or Lipitor rather. Why don't you tell us the story of Matt ... Where are you from? Where did you go to high school? Were you a good student? Did you go to college, if you did, where did you go? Did you graduate? What did you study? Those kinds of things.
Matt: Definitely. So, I was born in Moody Alabama, which is a little bitty town up around Birmingham, and then we moved down to Mobile when I think I was four months old.
Marcus: Okay.
Matt: My father spent 30 years in the military and we ended up staying here. He didn't want to travel around, so passed up rank a lot of times to be able to stay here and finally retired after 33 years in the Army. My mother was a nurse. Grew up with a Golden Retriever. Got one sister. I mean, literally, I'm the average American, middle class family.
Marcus: Did your family have a picket fence in front of the ...
Matt: That's the only thing we did not have.
Marcus: That's funny.
Matt: I went to Faith Academy out in West Mobile, towards Semmes. Was there for 13 years. First grade twice. Decided to go to South Alabama a few times. I was 16 hours shy of graduating. I've done everything before I started opening up bars and restaurants. I thought I wanted to go to medical school so I worked for the Alabama Eye Bank doing cornea procurements. Worked in the ER at South for a few years when I was in college. I was a DJ here locally for radio stations like WABB for like five years. So, I've done a lot of just ...
Marcus: A lot of living.
Matt: A lot of fun things to talk about to my grandkids one day. Opened up my first bar, I wanna say it was close to ten years ago when I was like 24. Over on St. Francis Street. It was called The Bar. Had the big deck and everything.
Marcus: Did you remember that one?
Matt: Yellow building. I was working with a couple of guys and I kind of say it's like a bad marriage. We ended up having a divorce and going our separate ways.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: Looped up with my current business partner who happened to be in the military with my father. We opened up a place out towards Dauphin Island called The Sandbar. Managed that for about four years or so while we were getting BierGarten off the ground. Ended up selling that business and we just lease the property now. LoDa was founded I wanna say 2001 on New Years Eve night.
Marcus: Wow.
Matt: It was crazy. We had a fire, a grease fire about an hour before we were supposed to open. I had absolutely no clue what I was doing with food, cause obviously I had only done stuff with bars and things like that.
Marcus: Right.
Matt: And to be honest with you, even at that point, I had a little bit of clue what I was doing when it comes to alcohol and serving drinks, but only what my bartenders had taught me at the time. I had business sense about me, but ...
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: I was letting them teach me and finally after a while, started going no, we're not gonna do things this way. It's been a journey to where we are now though.
Marcus: Yeah. I can imagine. So you again, going back to ... if you haven't been to BierGarten and haven't tasted the food ... I don't drink anymore, it just was kind of effecting my body in ways that I didn't really care for.
Matt: I understand.
Marcus: Occasionally I'll have something but not on a regular basis. But I still go because besides the burgers, your reuben is phenomenal. I think you have the best onion rings I've ever had. The french fries are good. And there was some like Conecuh sausage appetizer or something like that.
Matt: Yeah, pig on a stick.
Marcus: Yeah. Pig on a stick. That was just phenomenal. Had that like a month or so ago. We were kind of going, walking around for first Friday or second Friday, whatever it is that Downtown Mobile does. The food is not just there. It's not a normal bar where it's just greasy crap that you're slopping out to the people that are there at 3am. You actually care about it.
Matt: Yeah.
Marcus: And it's good.
Matt: Yeah. You're right. So, we used to be, and really for the first five years, we were a bar that served food. Now, we're a restaurant that has incredible beer.
Marcus: Ridiculous. I mean, gosh.
Matt: It used to ... food was actually ... alcohol always surpassed our food numbers.
Marcus: Right.
Matt: And then the past two years, food ... we're doing more food sales than we are alcohol sales and I'm not saying that our alcohol sales have gone down any, because that's not the case ... [crosstalk 00:06:06] they're continuing to grow. It's just we're now a destination for food and not only just these trendy craft beers that you can't get anywhere else in the Southeast.
Marcus: Right. So, the other thing that people may not know is it 104 still or how many beers ...
Matt: So, we have 102 beers on tap Downtown. West Mobile, 108 on tap. But starting at I believe it's January first, we're gonna be offering four wines on tap at each location so the lines will go up a little bit.
Marcus: That's crazy.
Matt: Yeah.
Marcus: I can't even imagine what that looks like behind the scenes. You look at the wall and it's just like all these taps. But I can't imagine what that looks like behind with all the kegs that it takes to do something along those lines.
Matt: Downtown it is a little bit of a squirrely puzzle because it's nearly a hundred year old building and so you've got two different walk-in coolers, plus a few jockey box style coolers scattered throughout the place. West Mobile, that was kind of my Taj Mahal. I got to build it from the ground up, so the walk-in cooler out there's got glass windows, you can actually see behind the scenes and see all the kegs, the regulators, the lines and stuff like that. So, it actually allows you to be able to see that.
Marcus: Yeah, I wanna make a trip out there because business wise I'm all over Mobile now so occasionally I'll find myself out there so I need to stop in and see what the difference is. So you went to college. Did you graduate?
Matt: No. Like I said, I was 16 hours shy of my Biomedical degree. I kept saying I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it and you just get busier and busier and busier.
Marcus: Obviously, if you're going in a path and you don't really need that, then why bother. You said you started with The Bar, but what was that like? The restaurant industry is an extremely competitive and very difficult one to be successful in and obviously you have found that success. How did you get into that? Was it just, you liked bars and you're a little bit of a lush and like to ...
Matt: At the time, no. I was at the time, I was doing medical sales. Like I said, I headed all over the place. I was 23, 24, somewhere in that neighborhood. Single and didn't have any kids. And I'm just gonna be blunt. I had money burning a hole in my pocket and I had a buddy come to me at the beach and say hey, I wanna open up a bar, I've got a building and it's gonna be great. Here's the idea. And I went, you're out of your mind. Just like you just said, it's extremely competitive. Most bars are out of business within the first year.
Marcus: Right.
Matt: No. Well, like I said, I was 23, single, and I'm like this is every guys dream. I'm gonna do this, I can do this. So I'm just gonna give him the money, I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing and I'm just gonna be able to go hang out on the weekends. Well, it didn't really pan out that way. I threw my money in and went okay, it's time for you to put your money in now, and he goes I don't have any money. And I went, what are you talking about? And he goes, well it was my idea and I said that's not how it works. I think a Walmart on Airport Boulevard is a great idea, but I don't have a few hundred million dollars.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: So, long story short, he was insolvent, so then i had to go out shopping for partners as well. Found them and we opened up and right out of the gates it was a huge success and we did really well and it's one of those things to where some people just don't mesh really well together and that's what it was.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: We had a horrible working relationship. I wanted to do things one way, they wanted to do it another way. So, I left. I'll be honest with you, it was not the nicest and friendliest separation.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: I hit rock bottom after that. You hear about these people that have got these businesses and stuff and then say they hit rock bottom. That was it. I had my tail between my legs. So, it took me about ten months to get on my feet. That's when we started opening up these other places. The story that time told itself, you look at how they ended up doing and I wish them the best. But I'm glad it happened because there's no telling where I'd be now. I definitely probably wouldn't have BierGarten.
Marcus: I wanna first say thank you for your honestly, cause not everybody would be as honest about hitting bottom like that. I just think it's phenomenal if you're out there listening to this, note that hitting rock bottom isn't failure, that's not the end. That you picked yourself up and you kept moving forward because you had kind of seen hey, I like this, it's something that I can do.
Matt: Yeah.
Marcus: There's profits to be made here and that you kept moving forward. So kudos to you. But going back, one of the questions that I always ask is about the person's first job. And when I say first job I don't mean, you mentioned a lot of nicer jobs like working in the ER and stuff. I mean your first crap job, did you work in a fast food restaurant, sweeping floors or ...
Matt: I had a couple. Yeah, so the rule in my house is once you turn 16 you've gotta have a job. At the time, labor laws were a little bit different back then, but it was difficult to find a job before you were 16. I tried finding jobs everywhere and just couldn't find one so I ended up volunteering at the animal shelter but that wasn't my first paying job. My first job was at Winn-Dixie as a bag boy and I was a typical 16 year old when it came time for July 4th I wanted off and they wouldn't give me off so I'm like I'm not doing this anymore. So I quit. I wanted to hang out on July 4th. My father said you know what, that's fine but you have a week to have a job and so yes sir, that's fine. I went and applied and got a job at CiCi's Pizza as a dishwasher.
Marcus: Nice. Bet you're wishing that you had worked on July 4th.
Matt: Here's the deal. Two days, I finally went, you know what? I don't love money this much, I'm out. I'd come home and I'd have a towel sitting in our garage and literally have to strip down because my mother wouldn't let me bring those clothes in the house cause they were just so disgusting and everything.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: I ended up getting a job at TGI Friday's and started serving there. Served there and worked at Abercrombie and Fitch at the same time. Then also started interning at what at the time which was Hot 104 and that's kind of where I got into DJing. So I had three jobs my senior year in high school and that's kind of how I looped into ...
Marcus: Well go back to the either the bag bog job or the dish washing job, were there any lessons that you learned from that that you still carry with you to this day?
Matt: You know, I can't really say that there is from those particular jobs, no.
Marcus: Just that you didn't wanna be a dishwasher for the rest of your life, for sure.
Matt: Yeah, that was the main thing. And again, I don't wanna discount what they do, because that's the toughest job in my restaurants is the dishwasher. Those guys, unfortunately, they're bottom of the totem pole, but they have the toughest gig in my place. But yes, I realized real quick that hey, I had to do certain things in life and get certain places in order to have the things that I wanted. Even from a young age at 16 years old, I had really expensive taste. I wanted the best of everything.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: And I'm not saying that I have that now, but you have to work in life to get to where you wanna be. That's hustling. That's the main thing that I learned. Learn how to hustle.
Marcus: Well if you had three jobs, obviously you weren't afraid of hard work either.
Matt: Yeah.
Marcus: Now if you were talking to someone that wanted to get started in running their own business, what's the one bit of wisdom that you would impart to them?
Matt: Plan every single detail out and don't leave anything for guess. I think I've opened seven now and just on this last one did I get to the point to where I finally went, okay, I planned everything out in advance, wrote it all out so I didn't have any surprises. I see so many people ... I really only relate to my industry. But I see so many people, they go out and they try to do this and they go okay, I've got x amount and I'm gonna do this. There's always surprises that they don't know about so they either have to ... they're not able to open up or they have to bring in people whether they're angel investors or whatever and they don't really want to. That's the main advice that I would have is just plan everything out. I see so many businesses, and this isn't just my industry. I think this goes for everybody. They go in thinking they're gonna make all this money and rely on it and don't realize that hey, you really shouldn't be taking a dime out of that place for the first couple of years just reinvest, reinvest, reinvest. And that's what I did with Beer Garden. I actually didn't take any money out of it for the first five years. I just kept reinvesting and reinvesting and reinvesting. I think that's the key to success in my eyes.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: Is not stopping to improve.
Marcus: Yeah. Money doesn't grow on trees, right?
Matt: No.
Marcus: Unfortunately. So, what's surprising to me is what you're saying is that people so often times think, well I'm just gonna do ... whether it's a franchise or starting a business from scratch, that they just assume that they're gonna open up their ... that they're gonna put a shingle out and that they're gonna start reaping all these rewards. And the truth is that like Bluefish was founded in 2008. So, like ten years ago plus. And so, we're a little bit different in that for a long time I was working as a freelancer and I was able to make money, but still, even we're investing back in the business. Whether it's the building that Bluefish resides in or equipment that's needed or whatever. There's a large amount of money that just goes into reinvesting for growth. I talk to people all they time, they don't account for marketing or advertising their business, or hiring employees or improvements that are gonna need to be made to their facilities, or any of these things. Money starts coming in and then they realize that there are all these expenses and then they can't figure out how to balance all that stuff and they end up out of business.
Matt: Well to relate to that, so we've got two BierGarten's now and I had to create a couple of positions that I didn't previously have when it was just one. They're some literally the highest paid positions that I have that you have to have with two locations but truly don't start paying for themselves until you have that third location.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: So experiencing that right now and having to swallow that for the first couple of years until you get that third location open, is something I can relate to.
Marcus: Yeah. So one of the questions I have, what are you currently working on ... is a third location something that ...
Matt: Third location is definitely something that we wanna do. Whether we go to the Eastern shore or go up towards Saraland, I don't really know. I can tell you the one place where I do not want to go is the beach.
Marcus: Just a rough crowd down there or why do you say that? That was pretty strong.
Matt: It is so tough to make it down there.
Marcus: Yeah, the seasons.
Matt: I've had several friends that have gone down there and try to do it and let me tell you, it is great when it's on but when it is off, wow.
Marcus: It's dead.
Matt: It's tough. Just the distance, I don't really wanna own something that I can't put my hands on within 30, 45 minutes if somethings going on. So, if you get that phone call in the middle of the night and it takes me an hour and a half to get there, it's not really something that I wanna do.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: Another BierGarten, we have another concept that we're trying to work on right now, it'll probably be another year, year and a half down the road before that happens. We're just so ...
Marcus: Tied up with what you've got going on ...
Matt: Yes. You've gotta focus on something and get all the kinks worked out before you can move onto the next project. I've seen a lot of people where they just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. They do all these things so quickly and it's just tough to keep up with.
Marcus: Yeah. Who is the one person that motivates you from the business world?
Matt: My father.
Marcus: C'mon now, you can't do that. Give me the father answer and then give me somebody from the business world.
Matt: Okay. All right, all right.
Marcus: Everybody always does that and I'm tired of letting people off.
Matt: Okay, that's fine. I will tell you this. Actually, my father is the work ethic.
Marcus: Okay.
Matt: As far as motivation in the business world ...
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: Somebody that's in the same industry as me ...
Marcus: Yeah, yeah.
Matt: Matt Laman.
Marcus: Oh, c'mon.
Matt: Is that another one that you're not gonna let me have?
Marcus: No, no, no, that's totally fine but now I gotta give Matt crap. He is a phenomenal individual.
Matt: He is. You gotta think, here's the deal, Matt and I are the same age, we opened up our ... and Matt has always been about three months ahead of me and not only that, but also doing things better than me. So Matt's three months older than me, got engaged like three months before me, got married like three months before me. The only thing I beat him to is having kids.
Marcus: That's funny.
Matt: So he's got to have all the fun while I'm changing diapers and everything. But no, for real, Matt will tell you, and he told me this years and years ago was that he's not an entrepreneur, he's a marketing guru. That's what he does. [crosstalk 00:20:45] that's something that you can relate to.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: He's seriously, you asked, him or Noell Broughton would be the two that I would tell you that I look up to the most in my industry.
Marcus: Yeah. I mean, going back to Matt, I know Matt and one of the things that I'm always impressed by is how he has been able to build community around his bars.
Matt: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Marcus: While that may seem like, for those of you that are old enough to remember Cheers or just familiar with what the neighborhood bar kind of mentality feels like, but it's beyond that. It's the whiffle ball season, it's the SantaCon that they just had this past weekend, where they went bar hopping and ended up at B-Bob's dancing the night away before the drag show. I mean, it's all these things. Kickball, whatever.
Matt: Mo-vember. All of it. It's all year long.
Marcus: He just does a phenomenal job of kind of getting people building in that community. It's cool that you ...
Matt: And he never stops, that's the thing, he's always moving forward, not only in that but planning events. And that's truly what Matt ... I really think he likes to do is he likes planning events. He used to work for RedBull ...
Marcus: Yep.
Matt: He's just really good. And then you got Noell, who I've really become close to over the past four or five months and he and I talk probably on a daily basis now.
Marcus: Who?
Matt: Noell Broughton. So, Noell owns Brickyard, Boo Radley's, They Lucky's, Bone and Barrel across the bay, Little Whiskey Christmas Club. He's been doing this for decades.
Marcus: So we need to get him on the podcast ...
Matt: Oh yeah, you definitely do. He started Café 615 and then sold it. Noell B's. All these places ... I bet Noell's probably had 25 different bars and restaurants.
Marcus: It's funny cause we work with a couple of people that are like that. It's just like they buy a restaurant, build it up, either sell it or close it cause it isn't doing what they want to do and it's just interesting ...
Matt: That's Noell's passion. He loves building them and selling them and stuff like that. He's great at it too.
Marcus: That's cool. Are there any books, podcasts, people or organizations that have been helpful in moving you forward?
Matt: You know, and this is gonna make me sound really bad, I truly don't read that much.
Marcus: That's fine.
Matt: I read my restaurant smart brief emails that I get and stuff like that.
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: There is, I will tell you the book that I liked the most here recently, and you're gonna laugh again, Matt ... we were on our way up to Canada last year for a convention and he let me actually borrow his wife's copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The most typical book, whatever, but it was fun. I enjoyed reading it. It makes you look at things a different way. I've probably read it about four times since he let me borrow it.
Marcus: Yeah, no. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I think everybody should read that.
Matt: A lot of people do. That's what's so funny.
Marcus: Well, a lot of people do and it's kind of their ... when it comes to personal finance, there's not enough emphasis placed on that I don't think. If you don't have the personal finance side and figure it out, then running a business becomes even more difficult. So what's the most important thing that you've learned about running a business.
Matt: That's a tough one.
Marcus: They're all tough.
Matt: Yeah. Most important thing about running a business. Is knowing how to communicate and talk with your staff. I see so many business owners, they look down on their staff and treat them poorly. I had somebody ... not somebody, it's my father, so I am gonna quote him on this one.
Marcus: That's totally fine. Sorry, let me clarify. When people give that it's like I get it, our parents are always motivating us and we follow in the footsteps of our parents and stuff like that but the question is pretty specific about somebody from the business world. So it wasn't to like ...
Matt: No, I know what you're saying, I got you. So, my father told me something one time, he said when you're having to get onto somebody, there's no need to cuss, no reason to scream, all of these things, raise your voice. Something that a late 20 year old guy would be probably be doing when he got pissed off. But, instead, if you've got your staff and you have to get onto them, do it in such a manner to where when you're finished, they feel like they've let you down and they're disappointed like my two and a half year old little girl would be when I got onto them.
Marcus: Yep.
Matt: And I'm not saying treat them like children, I'm saying that they have so much respect for you and want to have your back and go to war with you.
Marcus: Right.
Matt: That when you do get onto them, they're disappointed that they've let you down. I see so many business owners that they just treat their staff like garbage and it's disheartening because I think the best business owners are those ones when you ask them what their biggest asset is, they say their staff. Because it's the truth. Let's be serious. I'm not here on every Friday and Saturday night, I'm not the one closing this place down at 2am in the morning, making sure every dish is washed, that every last dollar is counted. That's not me.
Marcus: Right.
Matt: I'm getting down here at 7am in the morning, so without my crew there is no BierGarten.
Marcus: Right. Yeah, just all operations cease. It's interesting, because I've had this conversation with a couple of people lately where I've mentioned the book Servant Leadership, by Jocko Willink and for those of you that aren't familiar, Jocko is a former Navy Seal and has now started making the rounds as a speaker, and he's been on a number of very popular podcasts. I'll save you ... I mean, go ahead and read the book if you want, but I'll save you the time if you want. It's basically the whole thought process is that as the leader, it's your responsibility. So if something doesn't get done or if there's an issue or if there's even a person that is a problem or whatever, well guess what, it's not them, it's you. So I've kind of taken that mentality over the course of the last year of ... if there's a problem, it's an educational opportunity. And if it continues to be a problem, well then, it's still my problem. But I need to address it. I think that's changed quite a bit, if not necessarily for the team, it's just changed my mentality of it's not always the person's problem, it's my problem. I need to fix that.
Matt: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Marcus: It's been good. How do you like to unwind?
Matt: This is gonna sound funny, cause I'll make the note that I drink like a sorority girl. The funny secret about me that a lot of people don't know, with these 210 taps that we have, I don't drink beer.
Marcus: Really? What's your drink of choice then?
Matt: Well I said, I'm like a sorority girl. Chardonnay or Captain Morgan's.
Marcus: That's great man.
Matt: No. Drinking is not the way I unwind. I enjoy fishing and hunting. I'm a huge outdoorsman. Especially this time of the year. Being able to take my boat out on the causeway, it's super quick. Go down there, I can go fish in the morning ...
Marcus: Yeah.
Matt: And go take a shower and come to work or in the afternoon I can get off at three o'clock and go fish until it gets dark. That's really the way I like to unwind.
Marcus: No, that's really cool. We do have a great asset in the water that surrounds us.
Matt: We do.
Marcus: I don't take advantage of that enough.
Matt: You should, it's very therapeutic.
Marcus: I'm thinking about heading to the beach this weekend just to kind of get away. That's my unwind. Well, tell people where they can find out more information about BierGarten, especially now that you've added the second location.
Matt: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Marcus: Where can they get more information about ...
Matt: You know, the best place, and we obviously have our website, lodabier.com, but our Facebook page is just inundated with all kinds of information, specials. Obviously, we're on Instagram and all the social media outlets. But I would say Facebook is probably the best way to find out what's going on, see new menu items and things like that.
Marcus: And for those of you that aren't familiar, LoDa stands for Lower Dauphin.
Matt: Correct.
Marcus: Right. So LoDa.
Matt: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Marcus: And beer is the German Bier not beer.
Matt: Yup.
Marcus: So, if you're looking for them it's LoDa Bier on Facebook and lodabeer.com is that right?
Matt: Yup. Lodabeer.com yup.
Marcus: Very good. Well, I wanna thank you again for coming on my podcast and wrap up any final thoughts or comments you'd like to share.
Matt: Like you said, a lot of people haven't experienced our food yet and it's finally gotten to the point where when I go to the grocery store or wherever and I've got one of my logo things on, oh I love that place, love that place. So, when you meet somebody that's like I've never tried it before, it's kind of getting a rarity so if they haven't tried it yet, yeah definitely, come give us a shot, you definitely won't be disappointed.
Marcus: Yeah, no it's good stuff. For those of you that know me, I'm a food nut and I highly recommend it. So, try the reuben, try the burger. It's good stuff. Well Matt, I appreciate your willingness to sit with me and share your journey as a business owner entrepreneur, it's been great talking with you Matt.
Matt: Thanks for having me.

Case Studies
Home Extensions
Open Plan Conversion & Kitchen Relocation
The conversion and kitchen relocation from the rear elevation to the front.
Instead of small isolated rooms that is typical of a 1970 house, the client wished to create a large modern open plan living area.
The areas were still split into zones by the inclusion of furniture.
The kitchen flowed to the break fast table and then on to the snug area.
Lighting was installed throughout which included ambient architectural and task lighting. The Lighting was used wisely to enable the zones to flow and work together.
Under floor heating combined with a marble tiled floor provided a seamless continuation.

Whether you have one employee or two hundred, make time to teach them how to work with customers in a pleasant and meaningful way.
If you have employees that work with customers or the public, it is vital to provide training to equip them for this role. Too often, a company representative lacks the personality, expertise, or demeanor for dealing with clients while representing the company.
Employers that themselves do not know how to provide communications training can find professional consultants to offer workshops or seminars to help staff acquire the needed skills. Whether you teach the session or hire it done by someone else, here are essential points that should be covered:
1. Maintain a positive attitude. Sometimes you can hire people who have a natural buoyant outlook. At other times, however, you will have to remind staff of the best way to represent themselves and the company when working with the outside world. Tips to share with them include the importance of smiling, making eye contact while talking or listening, giving the customer full attention, and dressing appropriately. All of these things can convey the idea that your company representative takes the job seriously and cares about the customer.
2. Demonstrate courtesy. Everyone has a bad day occasionally, but emphasize the need to cover personal bad moods of irritation, depression, or anger when interacting with the public. Those who feel really bad should take the day off or excuse themselves until they feel better. Reiterate the need to listen carefully, avoid disputes, and stay calm even when the other person speaks loudly or becomes irate.
3. Do not argue or escalate tensions. Employees must refrain from arguing with customers. When they must disagree, it should be done politely or even half-apologetically to show respect for the customer's viewpoint in a shared goal of working for a proactive resolution. If a customer yells, makes threatening gestures, or issues threats, the employee may need to summon security. But up to that point, it is important to remain calm and to make the customer feel valued and supported.
4. Facilitate a situation to the customer's benefit. Whenever possible, try to let the client "win," even if that means swallowing a loss or replacing a product that isn't defective. The retention of your client's good will is more valuable than many types of products or services. Of course, if someone tries to take advantage of your business, explain to employees where and how to draw the line that must not be crossed. Keep in mind, though, that it's always cheaper to retain current customers than to recruit new ones.
5. Follow through. When someone calls for information or assistance that you cannot provide, you may have to connect the party to another employee or department. Ensure that the connection goes smoothly, and offer to help within the parameters of your ability. If a process has to be drawn out or delayed, check back in a timely manner to make sure it is completed effectively or conclusively.
A chain is only as good as its weakest link. Make sure that your chain remains strong and durable when training staff to work with your all-important clients.

From Israel travel information to cultural programs, community dialogues, and innovative Tucson-Israel Partnerships, the Weintraub Israel Center is Tucson's premier resource for all things Israeli. The Center focuses on fostering a strong Jewish identity with Israel at heart.
The Weintraub Israel Center's mission is to engage the Jewish Community of Southern Arizona as well as the broader community in building a living bridge to Israel, its people and its history. This is accomplished by using educational experiences, advocacy and outreach.
In 2011, the Israel Center was re-named the Weintraub Israel Center to honor Ron and Diane Weintraub for their vision, leadership and generous support. Since its establishment in 1997, the Center has had a profound impact on our community, bringing Israel into our lives in dynamic ways
Tucson is successfully partnering with the Israeli communities of Kyriat Malachi and Hof Ashkelon. This endeavor provides the opportunity for our communities to connect and interpersonal relationships to flourish. We focus on two areas; first- the people-to-people aspect allows individuals to meet one another, share, connect and build relationships, second- inviting Tucson volunteers, to take part in the amazing Zionist project of making Israel a better Jewish democratic State. We have invited speakers, students, IDF soldiers, artists, authors and activists. Each shares his or her unique perspective on Israel, and connecting to members of our community whether they meet at a lecture or are hosted in their homes. Partnership 2Gether (P2G) is a program of the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI).
The Israel Action Network (IAN) is a strategic initiative of The Jewish Federations of North America, in partnership with the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, created to counter assaults made on Israel's legitimacy. Our work is grounded in building strong relationships with people of faith, human rights advocates, political and civic leaders, and friends and neighbors in our community
We use multiple ways to educate the Jewish and greater Tucson Communities regarding Israel, in order to provide a deep, multi-faceted, realistic, and non-polemical picture of Israel that goes beyond headlines and slogans regarding the Israeli-Arab conflict.

"Short Version" of Mooseburger Clown Arts history:
We started out asking ourselves what is the best way to teach clowning. We had seen everything that the U.S. had to offer. I had taught in pretty much every school and convention group in the country. We felt there was a much better way to teach clowning. So we built Mooseburger University in 1994. It was the first clown training program to teach every style of clowning based on choosing one thing to really work on. So for example, hospital clowning students studied half of each day with Laine Barton and Michael Christianson of the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit. They spent the other half of their days in classes that they choose to meet their personal taste and growth as clowns. It worked very well. It was also a bigger project than the Saint Cloud State University was ready for.
In 1995, we changed tactics. We put together a small school to see what could get done in a week concentrating on the basics. We worked students from morning to evening on the basics of clowning as we saw it. It became the framework for the beginning clown course that I teach at Mooseburger Camp now, Clowning 101.
Mooseburger Camp as we currently hold it began in 1996. We rented a local retreat center and brought in carefully chosen staff. We held a week long course based school that finished with a show inside of a circus tent that happened to be coming through town that week.
What a week that was! We learned as many things as the students that year. We learned how effective the course program was. We learned that when we teach from our hearts, we started with students and ended up with a family of clowns that grows every year (via carney). Mooseburger Camp Alumni was born. We still hear and see often from many of the clowns in that photo above. Many you will see in the class pictures again and again.
"LONG VERSION" of Mooseburger Clown Arts history:
Our past as a camp would be incomplete without a section on the history of clown education in the U.S. There really was not much formal education prior to 1968. The tradition of clowning was a closely guarded secret. Clowning knowledge was passed on to family or friends. Young student wanna be clowns showing an unquenchable desire to learn, would not be turned away by their chosen mentor.
In the 1960's two things developed that began clown education in earnest in the United States. The first was the advent and growth of a clown network that was connecting U.S. clowns without ties to the circus. This group of clowns was doing parties and fairs. Shrine clowns were doing hospital visits and parades while raising huge sums to support a hospital charity network. Through these networks some clown training was starting to happen.
The other event was monumental in clown education. Mr. Irvin Feld, the driving force behind the Greatest Show on Earth in the 1960's saw the potential for disaster in the circus clowning arena. He had an incredible clown alley with names like Otto Grebling, Lou Jacobs, Emmett Kelly, Bobby Kay, Paul Jung, Marc Anthony to name a few. It was important to Mr. Irvin Feld that their greatness not be lost to future generation of circus fans. So Mr. Feld started the Ringling Bro's & Barnum & Bailey clown college that sadly is closed now. Its story is well told in Clown Alley by Bill Ballentine who did a great deal of the building of the Clown College.
Over the last 30 years the networks have grown considerably to include Clowns of America International, World Clown Association, Shrine Clown International and innumerable small alleys all over the world. These alleys and clubs provide a level of education in alley meetings and conventions. Generally, these consist of one hour offerings on specialty topics. They have had a strong impact on clowning in the U.S. The people who have contributed to this arena are far too numerous to mention. I would be remiss not to comment on Dorothy Miller in Chicago. She was an early mover and shaker in clown club education. Dorothy taught in the Chicago area, and went on to impact most every clown education program in the U.S.

Tackling the Big Issues
Harvey. Irma. Jose. Maria. What are we supposed to do about them from Ohio? We have all heard about the devastating hurricanes that have swept through our country on several different fronts over the past several weeks, wreaking havoc in regions including, but not limited to, Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. How are we supposed to make an impact in aiding those affected from the destructive tropical storms?
Denison's Alford Community Leadership and Involvement Center (CLIC) has taken a first step by hosting a "Civic Action Circle" open to all students and faculty and located in the Red Frame Lab (Slayter 200). The conversation is intended to jump-start the discussion on important issues within the Denison community. Susie Kalinoski, Associate Director of CLIC, and Trinidy Jeter '04, Assistant Director of CLIC, facilitated the discussion and are eager to host more Civic Action Circles in the coming weeks to engage in candid yet crucial conversations on campus.
Denison alumnus, Allen Schwartz '70, was a primary contributor throughout the discussion and agreed that these Civic Action Circles have the potential to serve as "great vehicle[s] for facilitating discussion". Schwartz stressed the importance for students to invest their time and credibility to raise awareness around these discussions and to "invest their intellectual courage to really dive deeply into the questions."
As the discussion progressed, they shifted to address individual accountability. Although students have varying levels of involvement and connections to these hurricanes, every single one is capable of making a difference. Schwartz reminded the group that "any dollar, can of food or blanket raised or sent to hurricane victims contributes to the total." Perhaps we can make a difference all the way from Ohio after all.
The consensus agreement reached at the discussion was to use the Civic Action Circles as an forum for action, not just conversation. To that end, the second meeting of the Circle featured Rod Cook, the Executive Director of the Red Cross of East and South Central Ohio, who just returned from facilitating hurricane relief in the Florida Keys. Cook gave the advice that whether it comes through word of mouth, social media, or group messaging, students are well-equipped with the tools to spread information and take action.
Civic Action Circles have also been ongoing to work towards community solutions around education access and equity.

When I joined the Department of History at UCR in the fall of 1984 I had never taken a "history course" – much less taught one! After twenty years of teaching economic theory and economic history in economics departments, I had to completely "retool" my repertoire of courses. Two decades of teaching the history classes listed below have not obliterated my interest in economics; in fact my explorations in economic history as a historian have greatly increased my conviction that the "economic problem" has been a central challenge to societies from earliest times to the present. The classes described below constitute the core of my teaching load over the past 25 years.
In the fall of 2010 my intellectual adventures in War and Economics prompted me to teach History 207, a graduate level course titled "Materials for the Modern World." This was, in a sense, simply an advanced version of the core of ideas about change in the Twentieth Century that I had developed while teaching History 20. The course focused on way in which the events that transpired between 1914 to 1955 -- a four decade period that witnessed two "world" wars and the greatest economic collapse in modern times -- fundamentally altered the world we live in today.
See the Syllabus for History 207
History 210 was the only part of my teaching load that I carried over from my days in the Economics Department. My teaching philosophy has always been a sort of "learning by doing". Taking a few topics that are of considerable interest to historians, this course looks at the literature to see cliometricians approach those topics and how their methodology and conclusions have affected the way in which both economists and historians interpret the historical record.
See the syllabus for History 210
The Twentieth Century World
I first taught History 20 in the Spring of 1994. What began as a one quarter experiment with a colleague teaching world history to freshmen and sophomores evolved over the next 17 years into one of the most interesting academic experiences of my career. There are as many ways to teach world history as their teachers who teach it. My approach has been to emphasize what I loosely call "war, sex, and economics". The importance of war and economics are self evident; "sex" is a term I use to identify the dramatic change in the status of women in the 20th century. What makes all this particularly interesting to me is that I have lived and experienced much if it in my own adult lifetime.
The American Civil War
History 114 was my first assignment in the UCR History Department. My efforts to explain the causes and consequences of the American Civil War to students in this class caused me to gradually shift my research agenda towards the study of war and economics. I still have not answered all of the questions I had about the Civil War in 1984, but on one point I remain firmly convinced: Slavery may not have been the only issue that contributed to the outbreak of war in 1865, but it was way ahead of whatever was in second place.
My efforts to explain the American Civil War pale in comparison with the challenge in History 145 to explain how a conflict that began in the summer of 1914 as just another episode in a string of Balkan Crises over the previous four years became a conflagration that engulfed all of the major powers of Europe. My preparations for teaching this course formed the genesis of a research project which I call "Gambling on War" that pushed the issues raised by the outbreak of war in 1914 forward to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Methods and Themes in Economic History
In Mid February the Department Chair of Economics called to ask if I would be willing to teach a graduate economic history course. I had not taught a course in the Economics Department since 1994. After moment of thought I said "Yes, I'd love to!" The result will be a combination of two courses I taught in the History Department (207 and 210); revised for an audience of economists. The topics covered will include Slavery and the Civil War, the Industrial Revolution, the "Great Divergence", and of course, War and Economics in the 20th Century.

Tour to the Lviv Castles
The Golden Horseshoe of Lviv Castles is a popular tour route in Galicia. It was designed by Borys Voznytsky, a prominent figure of Ukrainian culture – he was the director of Lviv Art Gallery for 50 years. The goal of the tour is to get acquainted with the architecture of palaces and fortifications of magnate residences in the region. It includes the Olesko, Pidhirtsi and Zolochiv Castles. The tour to the castles will be a rich experience and a possibility to know more about local culture.
The Pidhirtsi Castle belongs to the Renaissance epoch and is a brilliant example of a combination of bastion fortifications with a renaissance palace. The castle was designed by Andrea del Aqua for Stanislaw Koniecpolski. The castle is surrounded by a park in Italian style that is now the Park-Monument of Garden and Park Art of National Importance. The park wasn't preserved in its initial state, but it still is the only one of this type in Ukraine. You'll also have a possibility to see the ghosts of the Pidhirtsi Castle.
The renaissance ensemble of the Zolochiv Castle is the Monument of National Importance. It was built in 1634 on costs of Jakub Sobieski. The name of the architect remains unknown. The territory of the castle includes the Great and the Chinese Palaces. The castle functioned both as a residence and as a defence complex; it is an example of Dutch style of fortifications. An interesting feature of the ensemble is an ancient drainage system, well preserved, which comes from the times when even French Louvre didn't have anything alike.
The Olesko Castle is also the Monument of National Importance. It dates back to the 13th – 18th centuries. The castle is located on a big hill, from which you may enjoy views of idyllic landscapes. The location of the castle on the margin of two ancient principalities – Galicia and Volhynia – lead to frequent battles for it and, subsequently, to frequent destructions. But the castle survived and was successfully restored – once in the 19th century and twice in the 20th.
The restoration of 1970s was accomplished thanks to Borys Voznytsky, and in 1975 the castle became the museum-preserve. Among the exponents of the museum are: Ukrainian icons, ancient unglazed rectangular tiles (12th century), portraits of Rzewuski, saved from the palace in Rozdil, etc.
The tour will be a source of vivid impressions for romantics and lovers of art and for those interested in fortifications and military history alike.

Tips On How To Write A Gun Control Research Paper
Guns have changed our world many times over. In previous times, our weapons were crude and often required physical effort to use. This meant that only highly trained and physically able individuals could achieve proficiency with these weapons. Firearms made it possible for anyone to wield deadly force against an opponent and so changed the balance of power in warfare. Countries that had the technology and resources to create large quantities of superior weaponry ultimately defeated less equipped opponents.
The present Era
In modern times, many governments have sought to control the availability of most weapons to the public and some limited amount of control is maintained. The ability to design and manufacture efficient guns, however, is no longer only possessed by governments but by individuals as well. Many countries also contain rebel groups and large scale organizations that seek to manufacture and sell arms illegally, finding ways to bypass regulations and laws set up by other countries.
Varied availability
In some countries, It is the right of every citizen to posses a firearm while in others it is illegal for regular citizens to posses one. In both cases, many illegal weapons are owned by unregistered individuals and pose a crime threat in both countries. It is difficult in both instances to locate and confiscate these weapons and different governments have tried different approaches.
There are many sides to this issue and it has proved itself problematic for many countries. Here are some tips that I hope will help you write a well structured research paper on this topic:
- Discuss the advantages of legal firearm possession
- Discuss the disadvantages of legal firearm possession
- Explore the situations that require possession of firearms
- Discuss why an individual may want to posses an illegal firearm
- Investigate how an individual may acquire access to these weapons
- Compare the difference in crime levels between countries with different policies
- Show which methods have been effective and discuss the situations that these successful methods were carried out.
- The average criminal can't purchase a million dollar shipment of machinery. Discuss the possibility of corruption among high ranking officials being involved in smuggling activities for monetary benefits.
- There are rumors of large machine industries promoting criminal activities to maintain a market for their products. Explore this possibility.
- Summarize all of your data and present a possible working solution to the issue. Show which parties your solution affects the most and state which parties are likely to protest the measures you outline.

I m extremely happy with my HM130Max. This is my second Woodland Mills sawmill and it was amazing as well. The added cutting width and log capacity, along with the trailer, makes my business more marketable and flexible also making it more profitable! Looking forward to seeing what the guys come up with next. Great product! It's very durable and well made. Can't say enough great things about this sawmill.
Haven't used it that much yet (tough to get logs out in winter south of Owen Sound).. Winter has been a good time for learning. I like how fine and accurate I can cut. The saw is well designed and the components fit together very nicely.
Love the mill. Sawed about 600bf so far. Having trouble with clutch slipping now. But other than that the mill does a great job
The shipping was fast. Setup was easy and it saws excellent lumber. No regrets.
This machinery is very useful for optimizing and giving new life to wood without value.
