Very rare & desirable Maxfield Parrish front cover...
Item # 633423
December 19, 1896
HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, December 19, 1896
* Maxfield Parrish
* Christmas
Certainly the feature of this issue is the great Maxfield Parrish front cover, titled "Christmas" & which features an image of Santa Claus between two servants. This cover is in two colors. Typically this desirable cover is lacking as they have been extracted from volumes over the years. Rare to find an issue with this cover intact, and in nice condition as well.
Although the contents of the issue pale in comparison, the full pg. illus. of: "Bringing in the Boar's Head." Inside is a full pg. illus. of: "Captain Malyoe Shot Captain Brand Through the Head." Full pg. illus. of "She Would Site Quite Still, Permitting Barnaby to Gaze." Doublepage centerfold is: "A Tall, Slender, Graceful Form in Riding-Dress was outlined Against the Yellowing Sky." 2/3 pg. illus. of "Too Much Christmas."
The Parrish cover is uncommonly nice condition. The back color cover is present as well and is very nice, as are the interior pages.

Los Angeles (AFP) – Fugitive eco-activist Paul Watson is due in a U.S. court this week for his latest legal battle — but, after 15 months on the run, he says he is happy to leave the high seas clashes to friends in Australia.
The Canadian-born Sea Shepherd founder arrived in California last week more than a year after fleeing arrest in Germany, spending most of the intervening time at sea in the South Pacific and Southern Ocean.
In an interview with AFP the 62-year-old said he expects to take the stand in a Seattle courtroom on Wednesday, to defend himself against accusations of piracy brought by Japanese whalers.
But the white-bearded activist says he does not expect a judge to lift an injunction on him joining Sea Shepherd boats due to leave Australia within weeks for an annual campaign against Japanese whaling vessels.
"I don't believe that the injunction will be lifted, so I don't plan on going on the campaign," said Watson, who is banned from participating along with the Oregon-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS).
"But I'm not particularly concerned about it because Sea Shepherd Australia is quite capable, as they've proven … to carry out the campaign," he added.
The Australian arm of the environmental group is ready to set sail again on December 1 to disrupt the Japanese whalers, said Watson, known to his loyal supporters as "The Captain."
Sea Shepherd, founded by former Greenpeace activist Watson in 1977, has chased the Japanese fleet hunting whales off Antarctica for several years in a bid to stop the animals being slaughtered.
Japan says it conducts vital scientific research using a loophole in an international ban on whaling, but makes no secret of the fact that the mammals ultimately end up as food.
Watson was arrested in May last year in Frankfurt on a warrant from Costa Rica, where he is wanted on charges stemming from a high-seas confrontation over shark finning in 2002.

A New Banana Bread
Sunday, October 16, 2011 Posted by kathy libby

Labels: food, food preparation
One of my family's favorites is banana bread.
But after all these years of making it to use up the last couple of bananas that nobody wants to eat, they are getting pretty tired of the same old thing.
So I tried a new recipe for those old bananas.
I now make Banana Crumb Muffins, and they just love them.
The recipe is almost the same, but they have a cinnamon crumb topping on them that really makes them have a great taste.
It makes a dozen, and it is easy to pop a couple in the freezer to pull out later.
Glad we found this new twist on an old favorite - sometimes change is good!

Fullback Vonta Leach and weak-side linebacker Jameel McClain were two well-respected Ravens, admired by teammates for their effort on the field and their leadership in the locker room.
However, their salaries far exceeded their roles, which diminished in past seasons, prompting the Ravens to terminate the contracts of both players on Thursday in moves that give the team more salary cap flexibility before free agency officially starts on March 11.
"I understand it," Leach said. "It is what it is. It's a business. I had a good three years with the Ravens."
The release of Leach ($1.75 million) and McClain ($3.2 million) saves $4.95 million of salary cap space and puts the Ravens in better position to re-sign several of their key unrestricted free agents, a group that includes tight end Dennis Pitta, left tackle Eugene Monroe and wide receiver Jacoby Jones.

Causes of the Becket Crisis
- Created by: Megan_Robinson
- Created on: 24-04-16 11:56
Long term tensions
- Issues of royal and ecclesiastical jurisdiction in England
- Between 1072 and 1076, William I and Lanfranc ordered there should be a much clearer distinction between the respective jurisdictions of lay and church courts
- In a writ the king announced all spiritual offences and allother offences committed by a member of the church should only be tried where the bishop chooses and not in the secular court
- However this created the issue of what could be considered a spiritual offence and what couldnt. The ambiguity of the writ allowed the church to exploit justice and use it as a defence to protect clergy men, or anyone in a clergyman's household, going to royal courts and suffering the kings justice
- Development of canon law - the early 12th century had witnessed substantial developments in canon law due to influence of the reform papacy and rise in universities such as Bologna whihc specialised in the study of canon law - increasing number of clergy acquires specialised training law, ecclesisatical courts proliferated and became busier. It was the standardisation of legal matters within the church which influences Henry's attitude to royal justice
1 of 5
- Key principle for Henry was to ensure royal justice over criminous clerks
- Over 100 murders were committed by chrurchmen between 1154 and 1164, including the bishop of Worcester who had committed murder, but was protected by the courts on account of his office
- In October 1163, Henry raised the issue of immunity of convicted clerks from secular punishment, and how he believed that secular crimes should be tried in secular courts, not eccesiastical courts as the missuse of church courts had resulted in 1/6 of the population claimimg immunity from royal jurisdiction
- Henry saw church courts as being to leniant towards clerics, as they saw excommunication and defrocking as an embarrassment to the church so rarely used them as punishment , whereas the church saw the King's court as being to harsh.
- With the support of the other bishops, Becket insisted on clerical immunity and condemned the concept of double jeopardy, trial and punishment by two courts for the same offence, as Henry had suggested. This issue is also addressed in chapter 3 of the Constitutions of Clarendon, which Becket found most offensive as he believed God himself will not judge the same business twice. Caused vindictive fury in the king as Becket, who he appointed to provide Henry with a foothold in the church, had committed himself to defining the rights of the church
2 of 5
Long term tensions
- Letters of John of Salisbury suggest relations between church and crown deteriorating before Becket, conflict was an issue with AB Theobald. Theobald was anxious to prevent conflict between himself and Henry
- However under Stephen, the church was compelled to to encroach on 'half paralyzed secular administration' (Barlow) and as a result gained a degree of independence over their own institution, which Henry felt it necessary to reclaim. The church appeared to disregard the traditional customs between the state and authority
- The Constitutions of Clarendon 1164 set forth to amend this; the focus was asserting the crowns right lost under Stephen, to control elections, ensuring political control over the church
- In 1135, 50% of bishops were not royal clerks, and Becket was the first since 1120. This lack of crown influence over elections was a result of chruchmen paying Stephen for the right to elect their own bishops and abbots
- Henry wanted to return to the relationship between the king and clergy that had been enjoyed by his grandfather
3 of 5
Henry's Personality
- Becket was relucatant to take the position of AB, warning Henry 'you may come to hate me as much as you love me now'. Henry saw Becket's disaffection as a personal betrayal
- Having elevated him to the postions of chancellor and AB despite his 'low birth', he saw his disobediance as a personal affront to his generosity. His refusal to acede to paying sheriff's aid directly to the royal exchequer ate Woodstock in 1163 was the first of a series of personal grievances for Henry, who had expected him to remain loyal - instead Becket returned his chancellor seal in 1163, and recognised a new spiritual overlord
- Becket was keen to act full as AB as he had chancellor, and therefore recognised that his new position required him to be seen as the defender of the pope's rights in England, having been made papal legate in 1166. This was intensified by Becket's trial at Northampton in 1164, which can be argued to be a personal blow dealt by Henry, as Poole argues 'his conduct was both outrageous and undignified'
- The spiteful attack launched by Henry can be seen as a consequence of these personal grievances he had with Becket, and Becket's failure to attend court ove a land issue with John the Marshal was used by Henry to accuse himof having contempt and defiance for royal authortity. As a result he fled to Potigny Abbey in France where he lived in exile for 7 years, whilst Henry ordered the exile of Becket's friends and family in retaliation
4 of 5
Becket's Personality
- April 1166 Becket was appointed Alexander III's legate in England, which gave him the power of excommunication. Upon hearing that Henry YK had been crowned by the AB of Y and bishops of London and Salisbury in 1170, Becket used papal favour to excommunicate all 3 clerics, punishing those who personally offended by ignoring the AB of Canterbury's privilege to crown monarchs
- Becket's stubborness affected the chances of peace at Montmirail and Montmartre in 1169, where he refused to accept the kiss of peace and at Freteval in 1170, he refused to lift the excommunication he placed upon the 3 clerics even though Henry had agreed to compromis, allowing Becket to return from exile
- 'Becket brought a violent death upon himself because he could not admit his reading of the situation had been mistaken' (Warren)
- However Becket's changing personality could have been necessary to fit the role Henry had given to him - Henry had considered Becket a loyal servant to the crown, and himself, as he had used his skills as chancellor to tax the church to fund the Toulouse expedition in 1159. Henry hoped for him to remain loyal to the crown so he could his use his postion to exert political control over the clergy - his unanticipated transformation both suprised and enraged Henry, failed to acknowledge that the purpose of his consecration was to bring the church under royal control

Kasper Rosa - EP2
- Chris Cope
- 7 July 2010
(Field Records)
A cocktail of post-rock and prog rock is a deadly combination – not just for the ears, but for the mind too. Instrumental interludes conjoining with off-time deviances is tough stuff – but Kasper Rosa have got it right. 'EP2' opens with 'Team Building Exercise', a mish-mash of stop-start, Opeth-esque jarring chords, but they make the inaccessible accessible. It's wise to wade through the other six tracks with a hint of care – including the bedtime soundtrack 'Good Luck With David –, but this instrumental band have expertly struck the balance between hook and experimentation. That's the first battle won, then.

Yocha Dehe Golf Club - Brooks, CA
Located right next to the Cache Creek Casino and about 2 hours north of San Francisco you will find the fantastic Yocha Dehe golf course. Yocha Dehe means "home by the spring water" in the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation's native language. I found the "spring water" several times on our visit.
Yocha Dehe is a Troon managed facility and Golfweek ranks the course as a top 50 casino course. The course also features no housing developments on the property with plenty of views of the surrounding hillsides of Capay Valley. Overall, Yocha Dehe provides a great feel and a very playable challenge.
On this particular golf trip, I remember Clash CEO, Joe Garvey taking everyone's money in the parking lot.

Imir of Io
The Imir of Io looked out over his empire. Below him spread the whole of the Io Lunar colony. The colony was not actually situated on the surface of Io, but it was an artificial satellite that slowly orbited the volatile and deadly moon. He had been here for fifty years, and had been Imir for fifteen of them. He was tired of it.
He was tired of the constant bureaucratic struggles with the Alliance of Outer Planets. He was tired of the late shipments of supplies from those scammers on Europa. He was tired of the constant intrigue in the Ioan Council. He was tired of the day to day tedium of running the colony.
He turned away from the window and ordered the apartment's computer butler to shade the glass. He sighed and rubbed his hands over his face, swollen from the fluid that collected there due to the 1/3 gravity they had. He was seventy years old, the third oldest person on the colony, and he was feeling it.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Ingrid asked. She was his personal secretary, and had been with him since he first came into the Imirship. Half his age and more handsome than pretty, she was holding a flex screen in both hands, twisting it nervously. "You don't have to do this."
"I do, Ingrid." The Imir held out his hand and she placed the rolled up flex screen into it.
"You don't have a successor. No plan for a hand over of power. Sir, please. Think about it a little longer."
"I've thought on it enough," he said as he unrolled the flex screen and scanned the text on the translucent surface. His abdication papers.
"This will throw the whole Council into chaos."
"Let them fight it out." The Lunar Council was a nest of venomous snakes he would be glad to be rid of.
"They'll never let you leave until it's sorted out." Ingrid said. She was getting desperate. She had been with him for so long, her whole career was built around being his assistant. He suspected her whole identity depended upon her status as his closest confidante. He ignored her protests and picked up the light pen and signed the papers. He placed his DNAIdent in the lower right corner beside his scrawled signature, and rolled the flex screen into a tube before handing it back to the secretary.
"See that this is delivered to the Council in the morning."
"But sir..."
"This is the last thing I will ever ask of you, Ingrid," he sighed. "First thing in the morning. I will meet with the Council."
She pressed her lips together, making a hard thin line across the lower part of her face and nodded. He dismissed her, and turned back to the window and instructed the butler to raise the screen again.
Ishmael Irving, no longer the Imir of Io gazed out over his former empire, taking in the metal and composite buildings festooned with milt-colored lights, and silently made calculations. He wouldn't be meeting with the Council in the morning. In an hour he would be taking a transport to a ship in orbit around Thebe. That ship would take him back the inner planets, to Mars where he had set up his retirement. The money he had siphoned from the colony accounts for the last twenty years in compensation for all the frustrations, petty back biting, intrigues and constant threats to his life would be more than enough to keep him comfortable in his last years.

The Showcase will also focus on geothermal project risks. This will be explored during the panel "How to Address and Reduce Geothermal Project Risks." Panelist Douglas Hollett, Director of the Geothermal Technologies Office at the United States Department of Energy speaks to the federal role in domestic geothermal energy: "The Department is focused on reducing the costs and risks associated with geothermal expansion, and works closely with industry, university, and national laboratory partners to meet the challenges facing the sector," says Hollett. "This will create a reliable pathway towards economical hydrothermal development and help make large-scale, cost-competitive EGS a reality."
Significant growth is expected in the global geothermal power industry over the next few years as countries in East Africa push projects toward completion. Kenya and Ethiopia are building power plants greater than 100 MW. For comparison the average size of a geothermal power plant in the United States is about 25 MW. A Showcase panel will delve into the Latest Geothermal Developments in East Africa, featuring panelists including Eng. Stanley Kamau, Director, Public Private Partnership (PPP) Unit, Ministry of Finance, Kenya; Dr. Silas Simiyu, Managing Director, Geothermal Development Company; and Gosaye Mengistie Abayneh, Director, Energy Studies and Development, Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Energy, Ethiopia. "The GEA International Geothermal Showcase serves a critical role in facilitating direct dialogue among the policy makers, industry representatives, and other stakeholders who are driving geothermal development in East Africa and worldwide. The forum provides a welcome opportunity for the global geothermal community to share policy and technical best practices and for industry players from around the world to connect and network in order to move projects forward," says Andrew Palmateer, Acting Deputy Director of the U.S.-East Africa Geothermal Partnership, a public-private partnership between the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Geothermal Energy Association, implemented through the U.S. Energy Association.
Mike Long, Vice President, Galena Advisors, a division of POWER Engineers, Green level sponsor for the Showcase, will also join the East Africa panel. Long notes: "POWER Engineers/Galena views the international market as the key growth sector in the geothermal industry. The GEA International Showcase provides a valuable opportunity to interface with key leaders from the international geothermal community. We are looking for project development plans, understand regional challenges and meet key decision makers."
Many of the event supporters including USTDA, Export-Import Bank, World Bank, OPIC, U.S. Dept. of State, and Inter-American Development Bank, will join a roundtable discussion on funding opportunities. Panelist Jamie Merriman, Country Manager and Renewables Sector Team Lead, USTDA remarks: "USTDA is delighted to support the 2014 GEA International Geothermal Showcase. In order to accomplish its mission of linking U.S. businesses to global infrastructure opportunities, USTDA builds partnerships between U.S. companies and overseas project sponsors to bring proven private sector solutions to developmental challenges. Events like this Showcase provide an important forum for us to exchange ideas with U.S. industry and learn about cutting edge U.S. technologies that can catalyze the development of geothermal power in our partner countries."
Mary Mervene, Managing Director, Structured Finance, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, will also join the roundtable discussion on funding opportunities. "OPIC is excited for the GEA Showcase to learn more about this expanding sector and how OPIC can play a larger role in geothermal projects worldwide," says Mervenne. "Geothermal has a great potential as a resource for future OPIC power projects, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. OPIC is a key agency in President Obama's Power Africa Initiative, with goals to bring power access to tens of millions across the African continent. Geothermal is an abundant resource on the continent, and OPIC is proud to have recently provided support for a large and exciting geothermal project in Kenya's Great Rift Valley. We look forward to continuing to explore potential in geothermal, and the GEA conference is an exciting opportunity to do just this."
Also joining the roundtable discussion, Tim Williamson, Deputy Director, Office of Alternative & Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of State says: "Geothermal energy offers a unique global opportunity to provide a reliable, consistent base load power source. Despite significant progress RD&D over the past 35 years, installed geothermal capacity represents just 6% of estimated 139 GW total global potential in 39 countries, as a result of risks associated with the legal, regulatory and financing frameworks make drilling, exploration and project management challenging. The most promising mechanism proposed to-date to reduce the risks associated with geothermal drilling is the Clean Technology Funds, which can be used to mitigate the persistent high risk associated with deep slim hole exploration and production well drilling. We're coming together on April 22 to work to make use of these funds and make geothermal a greater part of our energy future."
Another supporter of the event, the International Trade Administration, seeks to support US exports in these markets. Chandra Brown, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing, U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration says: "As noted in our Renewable Energy Top Markets Study, the United States enjoys a strong and stable geothermal supply chain. As power demands continue to increase worldwide, the International Trade Administration is committed to supporting U.S. geothermal companies, helping them access foreign markets."
The following countries will be represented at the Showcase: Chile, Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, St. Kitts and Nevis, Spain, Croatia, Rwanda, Pakistan, Dominica, the Philippines, Nicaragua, India, Belgium, Germany, Nigeria, Colombia, Fiji, Iceland, Commonwealth of Dominica, Tanzania, Japan, Switzerland, Uganda, Kenya, Taiwan, New Zealand, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Romania, Turkey, Italy, and the United States.
At the International Showcase, GEA will bring together industry leaders for a media availability at 12:15pm ET to discuss the release of GEA's new, consolidated annual update on the U.S. and international geothermal industries, as well as geothermal trends and governmental policies in the U.S. and around the world. There will also be a dial-in option for journalists who can't attend in person.

Controversy over a proposed oil pipeline from Alberta, Canada to Texas is bubbling up again. In Nebraska, critics are focusing on the threat to underground water supplies.
Last Friday, on warm night in Lincoln, a feisty crowd swarmed the sidewalks. But it wasn't a college bar crawl. Half a dozen blocks from the downtown bars, just across the street from the Capitol, hundreds of people ringed the Governor's Mansion to make a point, whooping and chanting "Save our water!" .
The object of all the attention was Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman. Some critics want him to ask the Legislature to ban the proposed oil pipeline from Nebraska's Sandhills, which sit atop the Ogallala Aquifer, a vast underground water source stretching from South Dakota to Texas. Others, concerned about the environmental impact of extracting oil from Alberta's tar sands, want the pipeline stopped altogether. .
Supporters say the pipeline will create jobs and assure a supply of oil from a friendly country. Critics point to leaks that have occurred in existing pipelines built by the same company, TransCanada.
Bob Banderet
Critics point to the stories of people like North Dakota rancher Bob Banderet, who lives a mile and a half from TransCanada's Keystone pipeline. At a recent meeting in Lincoln sponsored by pipeline opponents, Banderet described what happened one early morning this May. .
"We were just finishing up calving, so that's probably why I was out there so early in the morning," he recalled. Walking out his door, Banderet said he saw a "geyser" of oil shooting up in the air. "It was over the tops of the cottonwood trees," he said, estimating its height at 60 or 80 feet. .
Banderet called TransCanada to report the spill. He said the company first sent out a lone technician, who took about two and a half hours to get there to confirm the spill. "Now, that's after an eyewitness has already said that there was oil shooting 60 feet in the air - I would have thought that maybe that was confirmation enough," he said. After the technician arrived, cleanup crews were called, and the first cleanup trailer arrived five hours after the spill was reported, Banderet said. .
Jeff Rauh
TransCanada spokesman Jeff Rauh doesn't dispute the timeline Banderet described. But Rauh said that's not the whole story. "What was not mentioned was that prior to that, you've got immediate action occurring to secure the pipeline, to shut the valves, to isolate the leak. So that the leak is stopped and then the process becomes one of containing and cleaning up," he explained. .
A report TransCanada filed on the incident with the North Dakota Public Utilities Commission said the company had already begun to detect problems with the line more than a half-hour before Banderet called. It says the entire pipeline system was shut down nine minutes after he called, and a total of 500 barrels of oil spilled before cleanup began. .
Banderet calls the response inadequate. The United States Department of Transportation ordered the pipeline shut down after another leak in Kansas, but it was reopened after a week. Rauh said the system worked on the existing Keystone pipeline, and will work if the proposed Keystone XL pipeline is permitted to cut across the Sandhills, instead of taking a more circuitous route to avoid the Ogallala Aquifer. .
"The assessment has demonstrated that the impacts of a release in the Sandhills are localized, and that if you move it to another location you're not going to eliminate that risk." To the contrary, he added, by building on a longer route to avoid the area, "you actually increase risk." .
The question of routing has become somewhat of a political football. Heineman said he'd prefer a route that avoids the Sandhills. But the Republican governor says people who want the state to regulate routing should pressure Washington Democrats instead of him. "They ought to put their attention on the federal regulatory process. Ask Sen. Ben Nelson to call President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton and deny the permit. It would end right there. It would be over," he declared. .
In response, Nelson issued a statement saying what Heineman was suggesting he do would be illegal. Heineman has previously buttressed his own reluctance to get involved by referring to the state's rejection of a nuclear waste site when Nelson was governor. The companies involved sued, and the state had to refund them more than 150 million dollars. .
Anthony Swift
That issue involved administering laws already on the books. The question of pipeline routing could involve creating new laws. Anthony Swift of the Natural Resources Defense Council said that's not a federal matter. "What the federal government does not have authority over, and in fact has been told they cannot regulate in any way, are questions of the pipeline routing," Swift said. "And what this means is that if pipeline routing is not a federal government area of jurisdiction, it is solely in the states' -- and if not in the states' in the counties' -- power to regulate pipeline routing." .
TransCanada's Rauh says just because that power exists, it doesn't have to be used. "Routing a pipeline is something that states can do. What is missed is we're in the third year of a federal regulatory review that is looking at those very issues," he said. .
Since the pipeline would cross an international border, the State Department is heading up that review. Its latest environmental impact statement says alternative routes would not offer environmental advantages. (To see the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, click here)The Environmental Protection Agency has questioned that conclusion. (To see the EPA's reaction letter, click here)
The State Department is planning public meetings in the capital of each state the pipeline would cross: Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as additional meetings on the Gulf Coast and in the Sandhills. A spokeswoman said those meetings are expected to be held in second half of September. A final decision on whether or not to permit the pipeline is expected by the end of the year.

Special services Sept. 16 at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
By Starrla Cray
Staff Writer
DELANO, MN Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in Delano may be turning 100 this year, but with its modern building and young members, the church is far from old.
Two special anniversary services will take place at Mt. Olive (435 Bridge Ave. E.) Sunday, Sept. 16.
The first one, at 9 a.m., will be officiated by Rev. Chris Hoppe, a son of a congregation member. Hoppe is currently a pastor in Frontenac (near Red Wing).
A 2 p.m. service will be officiated by Charles Degner, president of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) Minnesota district.
Mixed choirs, musical ensembles, historical displays, and a catered meal will add to the occasion, as parishioners celebrate the anniversary theme from Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
Although Mt. Olive's message hasn't changed in 100 years, the church looks quite a bit different than in 1912.
"We are becoming a younger and younger congregation," Pastor Paul Marggraf said, adding that this summer's vacation Bible school (VBS) program was larger than ever.
Marggraf said Mt. Olive's Christian elementary school, which began in 1955, could be one reason many young families are choosing to attend church at Mt. Olive.
The congregation's reach isn't limited by age, however.
"We do have quite a few members who have been here many, many years some are in their 90s," Marggraf said.
Developmentally disabled members are also welcome at Mt. Olive. A few years ago, the church implemented Jesus Cares Ministries, offering an adaptive service the first and third Tuesdays of each month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
"About a dozen people attend each time," Marggraf said. "We have Bible stories, singing, crafts, and games."
In addition to outreach opportunities, the location of Mt. Olive has also changed throughout the years.
When it began in 1912, six families met at the home of Pastor Henry Bruns. Before this, Bruns led services for a small group of people in a small Swedish mission church.
From 1917 to 1923, Mt. Olive was part of a parish that served Salem, Crawford Lake, and Montrose.
The Salem congregation later dissolved, and its members joined Mt. Olive. Because of the larger membership, volunteers built a new church for Mt. Olive in 1928.
German services were discontinued in 1948, and Mt. Olive Lutheran School was constructed in 1955. The first teacher was Fern Frank, who was assigned to all eight grades. Preschool classes were added in 1992.
Marggraf, who was raised in northern California, became pastor of Mt. Olive in 2000.
"This is the third parish I've served at," he said, explaining that his other two calls were in South Dakota.
When Marggraf arrived, Mt. Olive's services took place in the 1928 church building. Not long after, in 2004, finance and building committees were established to determine the feasibility of building a new worship facility.
Groundbreaking for the new building took place in 2006, and the dedication services were held a year later.
The facility offers increased sanctuary capacity from 220 to 400, handicap accessibility, air conditioning, a large library and meeting area, a new kitchen, expanded fellowship and narthex areas, a physical link between the church and school, additional classrooms, a nursery for parents with small children, and modern audio and visual capabilities.
Mt. Olive meets for worship every Sunday at 9 a.m., followed by Sunday school and family Bible hour at 10:15 during the school year.
Bible studies are also offered throughout the week. Current topics include the book of Revelation, a Biblical perspective on money, life lessons from Jacob, and more.

The essay by Ozanne and Davis offers one way to turn this problem around, and I fully endorse this approach, not only as a faculty member for the past 30 years but also now as a Provost.
For nearly 30 years as a faculty member, one of my main interests has involved research related to marketing and public health, especially as this research impacts multicultural segments of the population. On many occasions, though, I have felt like a "lone voice crying out in the wilderness." For example, I was the only individual with a marketing background appointed to serve on the Institute of Medicine committee to undertake a comprehensive study of the science-based effects of food marketing on the diets and health of children and youth in the United States, which produced the landmark 2006 report Food Marketing to Children: Threat or Opportunity?
Also, I am one of only a handful of marketing scholars who are members of the African American Collaborative Obesity Research Network (AACORN), a national group of public health researchers and community health advocates to address the marketing and societal implications of the obesity epidemic, primarily related to communities of color. I mention these examples not to bring attention to myself, but rather to raise an important question: Why has the Marketing discipline been so historically absent on this and many other issues related to societal impact? The answer is clear: In the public health community, Marketing is a dirty word.
You Should Also Read
Authors Julie Ozanne and Brennan Davis discuss the disconnect between academic research and its impact on society. They explore the benefits of the "Relational Engagement Approach."
One of the first things I noticed many years ago when I first started attending public heath meetings, conferences, and special task forces to which I was appointed was a strange response: Whenever I introduced myself as a "Professor of Marketing," the room got silent, and I could almost hear people whispering "Who let him in?" As I reflected on this, I thought, how could this be? After all, we're "marketers." Who is better suited to present our brand image in a positive light. However, it was a classic case of the "shoemaker's children going barefoot"—that is, some professionals don't apply the skills they've honed to themselves.
However, things are turning around. The essay by Ozanne and Davis "Making Research in Business Have More Impact: A Relational Engagement Approach" offers one way to turn this problem around, and I fully endorse this approach, not only as a faculty member for the past 30 years but also now as a Provost. My job now entails the task of motivating faculty to pursue this route as one solution to the problem of the shoemaker's children going barefoot in marketing. Another route is what I call "publicly engaged scholarship" (PES), which is related and designed to achieve the same objectives.
You Might Also Like
As the Marketing discipline continues to evolve, I've noticed a growing new generation of scholars who are very interested seeing a shift in institutional policies about rewards for their research and how these polices can align with changing cultural values and ways of measuring productivity and scholarship. Many in this new generation deeply value community engagement and are interested in expanded ways to measure excellence, especially as it relates to promotion and tenure. We must move away from restrictive policies that limit evaluation to a constrained set of formula, analytics, and metrics, as this is leading our field toward becoming siloed communities of specialists whose work is read primarily only by other, similar specialists.
We often talk about our work having impact, but how should impact be measured? I vividly recall a faculty discussion in which I was involved a number of years ago where we were evaluating someone I would call a "publicly engaged scholar" for consideration for a position in our department. I mentioned that this person had great impact. One of my colleagues chimed in that this person actually lacked impact because there were no publication in Journal of Consumer Research or Journal of Marketing Research on the CV. My response was that those journals are only one measure of impact, there are other ways—for example, this person's work had been published in respectable marketing journals and had been cited on several occasions in cases going to the U.S. Supreme Court; in my opinion, the latter indicated even greater impact. To this, my colleague challenged, "That's not real impact!" As long as our discipline continues to be susceptible to "value monism" and does not move toward more "value pluralism," we will continue to be plagued by the "shoemaker's children going barefoot" syndrome. (For an excellent essay on this, see Alan Wolfe's "The Vanishing Big Thinker" in The Chronicle Review).
To address this condition, we need more of the "relational engagement approach," as advocated by Ozanne and Davis. We need more of the type of research that is emanating from scholars in the AMA Marketing & Society Special Interest Group. We need more research of the type emerging from the Transformative Consumer Research.
When I first became Provost a year ago, I sent out a memo to the entire faculty clarifying what I meant by PES and what the implications were for those who wanted to pursue it, and for those who wanted to stick to doing more traditional research and were comfortable with the traditional metrics for evaluating that kind of research. I pointed out that in my view, it is inappropriate to view PES scholarship through a lens of "either/or," whereby all faculty are viewed as being primarily involved in either "traditional" or "publicly engaged" scholarship. I believe the correct lens is "both/and," whereby faculty who have been doing traditional research can and will most likely continue to do so, while those pursuing PES also can thrive and promote excellence using expanded rigorous criteria for excellence. I might also add that many of the most esteemed institutions across the country are moving in this same direction.
Interestingly, if you go back and look at the history of the formation of the American Marketing Association, you would find that a key motivational factor was to address some criticisms against marketing—that is, to "market Marketing." However, over the years, we have moved away from marketing Marketing, to the point that today our discipline has a tarnished image in the public health community and in most organizations focused on advancing a better quality of life in society—and to some extent, among many consumers, who believe that "Marketers are those folks who make you buy things you don't want!"
As someone who has "labored in the vineyards" for a number of decades trying to dispel the notion that "Marketing is a dirty word" and conducting and highlighting Marketing research that contributes to society and making the world a better place, I look forward one day to walking into a room of my public health colleagues, introducing myself as Marketing Professor/Provost, and having people stand up and cheer! I believe that publicly engaged scholarship and relational engagement approaches will help get us there!

I stared at the floor in front of me. I knew what it was. I had heard the goings on moments before. I closed my eyes and sighed big - wishing that it would change before they opened again, but knowing that the job was mine alone.
It was all around me. The odor of partially digested chicken and broccoli and rice crispy treat and mucous and acid drifted around me. I groaned. I guess I could consider myself lucky. The last time this happened, it had been spaghetti and meat sauce.
I wanted to throw a towel over the whole mess and walk away, but there was a boy in the bathroom that needed to get back to his bed.
The same boy that, in his urgent, sickened panic, forgot he had a bowl in his bed for this very reason.
I haven't had to deal with much puke. And not for a long time. I've been pretty lucky in that way.
I didn't miss it one bit.
I realized that I had forgotten paper towels in my shopping last week. I groaned, again, thinking about kneeling over this with a rag and a bucket.
I had jinxed it, you know. Last week, I had been reading a blog about a woman "knee-deep" in vomit. I thought, "Whew! I'm glad my boys aren't yakkers."
Hearing my groans, my son said, "I'm sorry Mom."
Separated by a sea of puke, I just answered, "I know, Sweetie. Stay there so you don't walk through it." I wish I could say that I quickly made a path and swept him up in my arms, tucked him back in his bed caressing his hair while he fell back to sleep.
I wish I could say that.
I did make the path, but he traversed it mostly alone and fell back to sleep after just a peck on the forehead. I focused on the job at hand.
Later, after cleaning it all up and after a load of laundry, I thought about how I reacted. I thought about how I would have wanted my mommy to respond to me when I was sick.
I then thought of how my counselor said that she's noticed that I get the most teary when I talk about what I should be doing.
It's so easy for me to listen to another mom talk about her failings and tell her to not be so hard on herself - and mean it. I've been told many times that I'm too hard on myself.
Why is it so hard to afford that same sympathy and empathy for myself? Why do we moms do that?
It's all right to want to do better. Doing our best is all anyone can ask. But somehow, we demand more of ourselves and then feel terrible when we don't measure up.
So I put my question to you, gentle reader. How do we show the same kindness to ourselves that we show to others? How do YOU that?
One woman's quest for healthy living, weight loss, and a happy, balanced life. It ain't over till the fat lady sings!

5 awkward money conversations you need to have
Nothing can bring up those cringe-worthy, uncomfortable exchanges quite like money can. The guidelines of the social contract tend to keep us all on the same page in most instances.
However, financial etiquette is an area that is either inadequately covered by this unwritten manifesto, or, apparently, is too open to interpretation. As a result, certain situations leave us with sweaty palms and a spluttering voice – regardless of whether we're dealing with friends or strangers.
Here are five of the worst – or best, if sadism is your thing – situations, along with some advice on how to get through them.
1 – Saying no because you can't afford it
Let's face it, we live in a busy country. If the weather is good, it becomes a mad dash to fit as many activities in as we possibly can. If the mercury drops and the skies turn grey, it's either straight to the pub, or a rapidly-hatched escape plan to head to warmer pastures. It leaves Facebook and Whatsapp groups constantly abound with a world of fun. Yet these things all cost money, and being the first of your friends to play the budget card not only defies the innate desire to enjoy life, but carries an element of humiliation. However, the best way to get through this one is to pull the band aid off. Engaging in the pre-fun hype will only make it harder to pull the plug later on. Besides, credibility with our friends can be rather important, so it's best to say no from the outset, rather than bailing closer to the time. Otherwise next time you say you're all in, they may not believe you!
2 - Don't all rush for the bill at once!
We've all been there. A lovely meal with family and/or friends has its atmosphere punctured by the arrival of the bill. Does everyone make a move for it? Does nobody? Few things can top the latter for intolerable awkwardness. Eventually you make the leap to sort out who pays what – no easy task in itself. Do you pay for what you had? Split it? Have others abused the code by having four courses and some expensive drinks?
Knock this one on the head by having a bit of assertiveness about you, and suggest that the bill is split. After all, if you go out with the same group of friends, things should even out in the end, and trying to work things out to the last penny will only make you appear petty. However, if one or more members of the party has had an inordinate amount more or less than the rest, then they should be requested to chip in appropriately. A bit of a judgment call may be needed here!
3 – Splitting the Estate
Arguably the worst of the lot. A loved one has passed away, the subsequent weeks of grieving have been and gone, and there is no survived spouse to hold the fort. So who gets what? A recent Moneywise study found that over 60% of the UK's adult population do not have a will. Even in the over-55 age bracket, the number was an astonishing 35%, meaning families are often left squabbling over assets not clearly bequeathed by the deceased. Standoffs and bad blood can quickly envelop relationships if the situation isn't dealt with delicately, especially if it is a matter between siblings. But our solution is a simple one… Designate the belongings that carry little or no monetary value to those who would cherish them most, and split the rest evenly among immediate family. Once you start weighting it in favour of who was closest to the deceased, you're headed into dangerous waters.
4 – Where's my money, man….
So you've lent money to a friend, and you're all too aware that there can be few confrontations more excruciating than the one where you have to remind them that it's time to cough up. To make it worse, they plead poverty, but you've seen pictures of them on Facebook out socialising! Just remember that if he or she is late in repaying you, it is they who are in the wrong here – not you. Of course, you don't want to upset the apple cart, so don't go in guns blazing. However, this needs to be dealt with head on. Be polite and play nice, but leave them in no uncertain terms that not paying you is unacceptable – otherwise it will be you who is left out of pocket.
That said, our rule number one is… Don't lend significant amounts to friends or family. Ever! And, if you do, at least put it in writing first!
5 – Talking money with your partner
He spent a truck load on a "good deal" for a new LED TV. She spent too much on holiday. He eats more than she does. She spends more on self-maintenance products. I earn more than he does. No, I do! Whether you're a young couple living together, or one married for decades, these are inescapable thoughts or grievances, and can quickly result in growing bitterness and discontent in the ranks.
This will always be a difficult one to contend with because people are inherently different, and your perception of value will almost never be perfectly in sync with someone else's – no matter how much you love each other. The best way to nip this one in the bud is to simply talk about it. The starting point is a strict budget – be that weekly or monthly. This gives both of you a clear outline of the funds collectively at your disposal, and once these parameters have been established, each person knows what they are working with.
Nevertheless, any purchase that falls outside of the regular and the mundane – regardless of cost - should be thoroughly discussed first. Can we afford it? What sacrifices do we need to make in order to make it viable? Will this affect our long-term savings? Compromise will be needed to reach a mutual agreement in such conversations, but this financial minefield can be safely negotiated if both parties are on a similar page. It need not end in tears! Like most things in a relationship, all this one requires is a little communication.
Not many will ever consider the above conversations to be a ball of fun, and the ability of money to generate tension with even the most familiar people in your life is indeed unique. However, chances are that such matters will crop up from time to time, and by sticking to the advice above, you'll give yourself the best chance of getting the best result for you – without antagonising those you care about in the process.

Buy used salon equipment by creating a list of the exact items you wish to purchase and then checking for them at auction sites, classifieds sites and specialty used equipment retailers. Inspect the equipment in person when possible to test any electric or pneumatic components and to examine the exterior, considering the age and wear of the items to determine the actual value compared to new products.
Begin by deciding what equipment the salon needs, marking the importance and urgency for each item in order to rank the final list in terms of priority. Some salon equipment is not suitable for second-hand use, such as certain types of nail equipment or other equipment that requires a high level of sanitation, so it should not appear on the list. Start the search on local classifieds sites, as these allow you to meet the seller in person to conduct inspections and allow for more direct negotiations on prices. Some auction sites may also feature location search options so that you can focus on your region exclusively.
Email sellers with any questions you have about the product, including its prior usage history and whether it has any major flaws or defects. If possible, schedule a time to inspect the equipment in person to test it out. Some older machines may present additional challenges, including high repair costs, thus making a new model more economically sound. Always wait to receive merchandise before tendering payment unless you buy through a site that offers purchase protection.

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt is suing a weight loss company over allegations her image was used to promote a product without permission.
The Client List star's legal team filed suit at the Superior Court of Los Angeles on Wednesday (04Jun14) claiming bosses at The Marz Group LLC have violated her public image by using a snap of her to endorse Slim Spray since March (14).
The lawsuit reads, "A large portion of the Defendant's marketing campaign hinges on the exploitation of celebrities."
Hewitt is seeking damages, an injunction banning the use of her image, and legal fees.

This week, I was focused myself on two tests:
- Conconi test (3' interval)
- 10' Time Trial.
6 weeks ago, I did the same test at the University of Leuven. My shape than was not very good. September and October were my resting months; I only trained on the bike once a week.
Training on Powercranks for nearly 5 weeks between 3 and 5 hours a week, I hoped to see some improvement. Because all my trainings were extensive, at low hart rate, focusing on cadence, I did not know what to expect.
Tuesday I rode in normal conditions and Friday I rode on 3000m altitude (14% oxygen instead of 20%).
Under normal conditions
- Conconi test
5 weeks ago = 445Watt
now = 480Watt
- 10' time trial
5 weeks ago = 415Watt
now = 420Watt
at 3000m altitude
- Conconi test
5 weeks ago = 375Watt (=28'.30'')
now = 415Watt (=32')
- 10' time trial
5 weeks ago = 320Watt
now = 345Watt
So, nearly 10% gained in 5 weeks.
o Initial condition was not good, so it is normal that I improve a bit.
o I knew which results I cycled last time, so I was stronger mentally.
o I was very happy to see that my cadence was very high good, starting at 115/min dropping to 100/min.
After 5 months I will be able to tell you what effect Powercranks really have, but it seems to go in the right direction.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3.8 supercharged from North America
I recently bought my GTP, it's a 98, and I don't have that many miles on it, only 99k, and honestly I don't have any type of complaints, it's like the best car I ever owned.
Besides being awesome on its looks, the engine is the greatest.
In my opinion, it's the best investment I ever made on a car, and I am planning on keeping it until I get old.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
