Community Conversations
Mayor Soglin has proposed that we hold community conversations on race relations, justice, policing and equality. The conversations are part of an effort by the White House, U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the National League of Cities (NLC) called Race Equity and Leadership (REAL). More information on these conversations will be coming soon.
About REAL
Race, Equity And Leadership is NLC's effort to equip its membership with the capacity to respond to racial tensions in their communities and address the historical, systemic and structural barriers that further inequity and racism in our nation's cities. Systemic, institutional racism and bias have had negative impacts on public policy. A focus on racial equity provides NLC the opportunity to align its unique strengths and resources across the organization to proactively prepare city leaders to apply a racial equity lens to policies, initiatives, programs and budgets. A racial equity lens offers city leaders the opportunity to create meaningful conversations and take action by assessing the ways in which municipal government can both benefit and burden racially diverse communities.
REAL Mission
To strengthen the leadership capacity of local elected officials in addressing the impact of race and equity issues in their communities.
REAL Vision
A nation in which every local official is equipped to effectively lead and serve an inclusive, thriving and healthy community.
Why start with race?
While REAL is designed to eventually address concerns expressed by city leaders related to all equity issues, such as discrimination based on income, class, gender and sexual orientation, racism is arguably the most prevailing equity issue in American society today. Slavery is a shameful and embarrassing part of our nation's past while systemic, institutional racism continues to be a part of our nation's present. Racism is therefore a critical concern as well as a difficult subject to talk about and take action upon. As such, REAL focuses first and foremost on racism in its exploration of the equity issues that impact American cities.
Achieving Inclusive, Thriving and Healthy Communities is the ultimate goal of REAL.
The stained legacy of discrimination in America has left many communities unequal. These communities face tremendous challenges. In the most harmed communities, we have seen a historic neglect by government, which has been reinforced through public policies over time. This neglect has caused racial disparities in the determinants of health: education, housing, income, employment, environment, transportation, and safety. All of these determinants not only impact the quality of life, but they also shorten one's lifespan when adverse. Studies have found that vastly different health outcomes are experienced by Americans living just a few miles apart. In addition, stark differences exist in education and income outcomes. However, that does not have to be the case. REAL envisions "a nation in which every local official is equipped to effectively lead and serve an inclusive, thriving and healthy community."
REAL Racial disparities have been driven and maintained by public- and private-sector policies. REAL is designed to empower mayors and other local elected officials to adequately address these challenges. REAL acknowledges that every city is different; therefore, we developed an action model to guide our work to help local leaders address issues of race and equity. These actions are not meant to be taken in a particular order, rather all of the actions will be pursued simultaneously.
Safe places where equitable treatment helps people from different racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds thrive socially, economically, academically and physically.

Regent and Eau Claire All Way Stop
The intersection of Regent St and Eau Claire Ave will be converted to all way stop. This means that drivers on Regent St will now have to stop at Eau Claire Ave. The primary reason for this change is for safety of pedestrians crossing Regent St to and from the pool and the park. The decision was made by the City Traffic Engineer. There was a great deal of discussion regarding this change in the Hill Farms Neighborhood, with many supporting the all way stop and many supporting pedestrian activated flashers.
Please be aware of this change and remember to come to a full stop at the intersection of Regent and Eau Claire.
Yield to Pedestrians
We are all pedestrians. Even if you drive, you are a pedestrian when you walk to or from your car. We appreciate it when drivers stop for us when we are crossing the street.
Pedestrians can be young or old, walking or in a wheel chair, walking a bike or being pushed in a stroller.
Drivers are required by state law to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, whether the crosswalk is marked or not.
When driving, please stop for pedestrians. I'm asking nicely, but next time you might get a ticket. Police recently issued tickets to drivers for failing to yield to pedestrians at Whitney Way and South Hill Drive, at the request of a Hill Farms resident. If you would like to request enforcement at a certain intersection, you can email me at email@example.com or call the Madison Police Department's Traffic Enforcement Safety Team (TEST) at 261-9687.
My hope is that District 11 residents will be leaders in safe driving and yielding to pedestrians. Not only is it State Law to yield to pedestrians, but it is a matter of safety for pedestrians, a courtesy and a way to show kindness to others.
Slow Down and Stop on Red
I have received complaints about unsafe driving, including speeding and red light running. One suggestion was cameras that would record drivers running red lights so that they could be ticketed. A change in State Law would be necessary before we can do that. In the meantime, I would like to focus on what we have direct control over, our own behavior as drivers.
I am amazed at how routinely we drive above the speed limit and run red lights. We probably think, "it's OK, it is just a little over the speed limit," or "the light just turned red right before I went through it." But would we think that way in other situations, for example just stealing a little bit of money from an employer or cheating on just a few of the questions on an exam? I don't think so.
We might also think, "everyone does it" (drives faster than the speed limit). But just because many people speed, does that make it the right thing to do? Does speeding make our roads safer or less safe?
I think we all know the answers to these questions. But I would like us all to think about what we can do to drive safely.
If you are driving in the city, speeding will save you very little time. It would be better to just leave your house five minutes early, and enjoy an unhurried drive to your destination. You might save a few minutes by speeding if you are on the highway traveling a long distance (although I don't recommend speeding on the highway, either). In the city, you likely aren't likely traveling a long distance and you have to stop for red lights. Many times I have seen a driver pass me at a fast speed, only to catch up to them at the next red light.
I drive within the the speed limit, which means on Midvale Blvd, I drive 30 mph or less. If you are one of those drivers who likes to tailgate me, back off. Please. I drive a grey Honda Element with bumper stickers for politicians and "I Stop for Pedestrians."
Madison Police Department West District Captain Vic Wahl recently wrote, "Almost every motor vehicle collision is preventable, and we spend a lot of time responding to and investigating accidents. Last year, patrol officers responded to almost 9,000 accidents in the City, and spent almost 11,000 hours investigating them (and this does not include any of the time spent on accidents by other MPD personnel). "
Driving within the speed limit and stopping for red lights make driving safer for everyone, for you, for your passengers, for other drivers, and for pedestrians. Please drive within the speed limit and stop for red lights.
I have a prize, a City of Madison pin, for the first person to email me at email@example.com letting me know that you have driven within the speed limit and stopped for red lights for an entire week after reading this.
Please do not text and drive. And whatever you do, please, please, do not under any circumstance play Pokemon Go while driving!

Public Health of Madison and Dane County has a new newsletter, News You Can Use. Here is the link to the first issue: https://email.cityofmadison.com/owa/#path=/mail
Ron Dayne Youth Football Camp
Former NFL running back and University of Wisconsin football star Ron Dayne has an extensive
list of achievements and awards, including a Heisman Trophy, Big 10 Player of the Year in 1999,
Rose Bowl Hall of Fame inductee, College Football Hall of Fame inductee, University of
Wisconsin Hall of Fame inductee, as well as the 11th overall draft pick in 2000. In addition,
Dayne holds the NCAA 1-A rushing record for total yards in a career, was named a three-time
All American, and a four-year starter at the University of Wisconsin. Dayne played for eight
seasons in the NFL between the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, and Houston Texans before
retiring in 2007.
Now the seasoned football vet is focusing his efforts on youth football. Dayne will be hosting his
10th annual youth football camp for kids in Madison, Wisconsin, but with an interesting twist. In
order to promote the importance of education, the youth football camp will be providing a
discount for campers who were on their school's Honor Roll last quarter. The camp will teach
football fundamentals, drills, education, and motivation from Ron Dayne himself and other
former NFL players.
To further the idea of education even more, kids who cannot afford the camp fees will have a
chance at a limited number of "scholarships." Scholarship hopefuls will be asked to write an
essay describing their "WHY" in life: What is their purpose? What is the reason they get up in
the morning? What do they want their legacy to be? Because we believe that when you discover
your "WHY", you will find your "HOW." Winning essays will be chosen and awarded
"scholarship" money to cover their camp fees.
The Ron Dayne 10th Annual Youth Football Camp will be held on August 13th and 14th from
9am-12:30pm for kids age 7-13 at Breese Stevens Field in Madison, Wisconsin
For more information, please go to www.rondaynefootball.com.
# # #
Ron Dayne attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison to play football from 1996-1999,
starting all four years and collecting a number of impressive awards and achievements to his
resume. He then went on to play in the NFL after being selected as the New York Giants' first
round pick in 2000. After eight seasons of professional football, Dayne retired in 2007. He now
lives in Wisconsin.
Segoe Road Water Main Project
Project Details
Approximate Schedule: Early August 2016 to mid-September 2016.
Water Main Work: A new 12-inch water pipeline will be installed on the southbound side of N. Segoe Road, from Sheboygan Avenue to Regent Street. Several new fire hydrants will be spaced out along this pipeline and installed in the terrace along the west side of the road. Construction operations may include:
• Sawing of asphalt pavement
• Asphalt removal
• Excavation
• Utility pipe installation
• Backfill, soil compaction, and base course placement
• Paving operations of asphalt
• General site maintenance, cleanup and restoration
Water Shut-offs: Water service interruptions are not anticipated on this project; the new pipeline will not have services connected to it
during this project.
Traffic Impacts: The southbound lanes of N. Segoe Road will be closed to traffic, and the northbound lanes will be converted to twoway
traffic during construction. Parking on the traffic-side of N. Segoe Road will not be allowed during construction. Access to
driveways on the southbound side of N. Segoe Road will be coordinated as needed. Temporary signals will be installed at the Regent
Street intersection while traffic is shifted.
Bus Routes & Pickup Locations: Aside from the traffic shifting, bus routes will not be altered during work on this project. The bus
stop on the southbound side of N. Segoe Road nearest to the Sawyer Terrace intersection will be relocated to pick up passengers at a
temporary location at the median of N. Segoe Road and Sawyer Terrace.
Streets: The street pavement will be removed and replaced where necessary to allow for the pipeline installation. Small sections of curb
will be removed and replaced for new hydrant installations.

Adam Eaton's bloop double in the 16th inning drove in two runs, and the Arizona Diamondbacks outlasted the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 on Sunday. Eaton's career-high fourth hit came during his seventh at-bat, with A.J. Pollock and Didi Gregorius on and two outs. Eaton fought off a 1-0 pitch from Kris Johnson and dunked the ball into shallow left-center. A sprinting Andrew McCutchen failed in his attempt at a diving catch. Arizona remained five games behind Cincinnati in the race for the second NL wild-card spot. Pittsburgh's lead in the NL Central dwindled to one game over St. Louis. The Pirates dropped two of three to Arizona, losing their third consecutive series. Wade Miley limited the Pirates to two runs over eight innings and Aaron Hill went 4 for 7 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games for Arizona. The Diamondbacks (64-58) play their next four games in Cincinnati against the Reds, who are 2 1/2 games back of the Pirates in the division race. Arizona's victory was its 27th ...

The trip will mark the first visit by a U.S. president to the site since American forces dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. Will More Day Care Help Boost Japan's Sluggish Economy? By Elise Hu • Jan 5, 2016 Japan has made progress recently in getting more women to join the workforce. The latest numbers show a greater percentage of Japanese women work outside the home than American women. But for a rapidly aging and shrinking population, that progress may not be fast enough. Finding A Little Texas ... In The Heart Of Tokyo By Elise Hu • Oct 19, 2015 Step off a bustling Tokyo street, down a short flight of stairs, and almost instantly, you can wind up in Fort Worth. Or at least it feels that way. Takeshi Yoshino and his wife opened the tiny tavern called Little Texas 10 years ago as a tribute to the state they love. Yoshino's passion for country music first led him to the Lone Star State more than two decades ago. Japan Can Now Send Its Military Abroad, But Will It? By Elise Hu • Oct 14, 2015 For the first time since World War II, Japan can use its military beyond its own borders. This change in interpretation of the nation's Constitution proved highly unpopular, sparking weeks of demonstrations in Tokyo. "I didn't even care about what democracy looks like. I didn't even care. But now I realize, it actually matters," said Wakako Fukuda, a 20-year-old college student who demonstrated for days against controversial security bills eventually passed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ruling party.

Villa Brio Exclusive is a newly built seaside complex of 3 smartly designed, detached, self-catered villas with private pools, located on the coast from Skala to Poros, Kefalonia.
The villas opened in June 2010.
The 2-floor Villa A & Villa B accommodate 6 and 8 guests in 3 and 4 bedrooms respectively, with one full bathroom per floor.
As per the biggest 3-floor Villa C, it offers accommodation for up to 10 guests in 5 bedrooms, addressed to larger parties.
Each villa boasts a spacious private landscaped garden and a large design pool (42 sqm) with superb views over the blue horizon of the Ionian Sea & the smooth coastline to Skala village. Also, in a few steps from the villas, the guests can enjoy diving into turquoise waters...
The location offers the unique feeling of being 'away from it all' yet close enough to amenities: 150m to a 5* resort spa, less than 200m to a wonderful secluded small beach, about 1km to the nearest restaurant, bar, super market and about 2km to the famous long sandy beach of Skala & village.
Car is needed only to explore the rest of the island...
We hired all three villas for our stay. All the villas are lovely, hiring all three felt like having our own holiday park! Villa décor was welcoming and appropriate. All the necessary kitchen utensils, pots, pans and bowls available at the villas. Pools are maintained daily and floors mopped and bins changed daily. There is a path down to sea which is fairly rocky and uneven and a small bit of clambering across rocks to reach the sea but its worth it! The sea is gorgeous, so clear and blue! Villa A is huge! We stayed in the bedroom on the top floor, it was bright and spacious with two balconies and great views. The Villa easily fitted us all in and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Skala is a 5-10 minute drive away or 20-30 minute walk. Poros is a 15minute drive away. Both towns have some lovely restaurants, shops and café. There are various small and large beaches and coves nearby to the villas all very beautiful! The owner of the villa is easily contactable by email or phone, throughout the booking process and stay the owner was very helpful and informative. I would recommend getting a car if you stay in Kefalonia for ease of getting around, there are some truly beautiful places which shouldn't be missed! I will definitely recommend these villas to all friends and family!
This is the 2nd time this year we have stayed at Villa Brio Exclusive. We love it so much - the house is beautiful with plenty of room and numerous extras. Both the house and the pool are serviced every day which makes such a difference. Our holiday was made perfect by having such a special villa. Everything was maintained and in perfect order and we would, without doubt, recommend it to anyone. The 'Old Times' restaurant is probably the best and Kaminia Beach is the only sandy one we found and loved it there.

About Kefalonia in general...
Kefalonia is the largest island in the Ionian Sea and one of the world's most stunning holiday destinations, with charming beaches and high quality resorts.
Highlights not to miss while at the island: the famous beach of Myrtos (amongst top ten in the world!), the natural beauties of Mellisani lake, the deep-green mountain of Ainos where the unique species of wild small horses can be met (if lucky!), the local 'robola' wineries and last - but not least - the traditional meat pie!
About Skala area in particular...
Villa Brio Exclusive is located at a focal point on the coast from Skala to Poros.
In a few steps from the villas, the guests can enjoy diving into turquoise waters!
Just 150m away there is a 5* resort, which offers amongst other high quality spa treatments & diving courses.
Also, in 200m the guests can step down to a wonderful secluded small beach to enjoy crystal clear sea quite in private!
In about 1km from the villas, on the coast to Skala, you find restaurants with great sea views while in 200m further a music bar, a pastry shop & a super market.
From that point to the centre of Skala village, the coast develops busier providing a great variety of restaurants, bars, food shops, car/bike rentals, pharmacy, medical centre, ATM etc.
At that point also, the impeccable beauty of the famous long sandy beach of Skala begins & keeps for the next 5km, offering unlimited options from water sports, scuba diving & boat hire to lazy sunbathing & naturist bay... Walking and cycling along the coast is also a superb experience.
Tennis is available in nearby hotels, while mountain biking, horse riding, sea kayak and trekking within 30 minutes drive.
Finally, not to forget that in Poros, 9km from the complex in the opposite direction, there is a port from where you can sail around the island!
Travel info: You can get to Kefalonia either by plane or car. There are several direct flights from UK and other EU countries. Villa Brio Exclusive is 40 min drive from the island`s International Airport. In case you use a car, you take the ferry from Italy to Patra (mainland Greece). Then you take the ferry to Sami (island`s main port), about 3 hours trip. Villa Brio Exclusive is 35 min drive from Sami port. Another option is to take the ferry from Killini (1 hour drive from Patra) to Poros port, which is just 10 min drive to Villa Brio Exclusive.

I have only read the first 7 chapters but the layout, pictures, terms, and general tone of the book is great. Would highly recommend this to anyone JUST entering the pro-hobbyist DSLR scene. Covers everything from basics, to exposure, to composition, to tips and tricks of the trade.
Well, I guess my grandmother knows more than I do, then. Also, I expect a book on photography for dummies to be just that - not gloss over areas of photography that are common to all platforms - assuming that, naturally, I should already know that. This is the kind of natural assumption that, in my mind, makes this a poor book.
I could not understand the author's explanation and application for ISO, aperture or shutter speed - in a book on photography for dummies! After a quick Google search I figured it out, then went back to the book ... and still could not understand what the author if this book was trying to say.
For those who gave it 5 stars, I'm glad it worked for them. For me, it was a waste of a purchase.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
I am currently converting from film photography to digital photography and some aspects are quite daunting. I have, therefore, purchased several books and tutorial DVDs on the subject and am working my way through them all. The title of this product suggests it is the right place to start and, on reflection, is exactly where I should have started. For those of you, who like me, are converting to digital for the first time, grab your camera and a copy of this book and work your way through from cover to cover until you are conversant with the new technology. It really will give you a good grounding.
That, however, will only work very well if you are already conversant with photography. If you are new to photography altogether and a digital SLR camera is your very first camera, you may have to learn a few basic lessons of, for example, the correlation between film speeds, shutter speeds and aperture settings - which really do need to be understood, before you study this book.
David Busch clearly knows what he is talking about and is able to put that knowledge into an easy-to-follow format for us Dummies to read and, as I say, I wish I had read this book before getting into some of the more technical tomes I also purchased.
I got an entire page of 'everyone from your grandmother knows what SLR stands for but I'm going to tell you anyway' AN ENTIRE PAGE!
Then we come on things like SLR is great because.... Or the difference between point and shoot and SLR is faster picture taking and this and that and WTF. I don't need to be stroked for buying an SLR. I also don't need a history lesson. I don't need to know how many lenses you have though you keep wanting to tell me and I certainly don't want to read another one of your 'I think this is funny/interesting stories. I want to learn my camera. I've read the manual and it's as clear as mud. Now I'm reading this because once upon a time a long long time ago ....for dummies was a good instructional tool. NOW!!!???.....
USELESS WORDS that make you want to throw the book at the wall.
I have put it down for the past three days and don't know if I will pick it up again. I can't take the rambling. After three chapters there is still no instruction, Not even a simple getting to know the parts of the camera. Nothing but a captive-against-their-will- audience for this authors tangents.
Really wish I had taken the advice of the negative reviews instead of the gushes of obvious family members reviews. The only people who would give this book a plus is family and friends. So far it is tedious and useless as an instructional guide.
I feel cheated.

This paper presents a study of extended learning mechanisms for Kosko's bidirectional associative memory-a classical artificial neural network with applications to, for example, pattern recognition and image processing. The incorporation of sigma-pi (ΣΠ)-units instead of the conventional Σ-units in the BAM is considered leading to the ΣΠ-BAM. A Hebbian learning algorithm for ΣΠ-units is proposed and simulation results are given, indicating the increased performance of the ΣΠ-BAM as a pattern association device

Mizuno MP-54 Irons
A deep Milled Pocket Cavity (3-7 iron) delivers stability on off-center strikes, while a heavily bevelled sole ensures cleaner turf interaction and the workability to take your ball striking to the next level.
The pure feel of Mizunos one piece Grain Flow Forged 1025E Mild Carbon steel construction is heightened through a Step Muscle design that retains thickness behind impact.
"The MP-54 is for players who have grown up on forgiving golf equipment but want a little bit more from their shotmaking. It still has all the forgiveness most modern players are used to but with so much more feel and workability. It's still MP, still traditional but more aggressive."
- David Llewellyn, Golf Club R&D Manager

Xbox One Games Are Region-Free
Written Friday, August 16, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox One games won't be region locked, offering a ray of hope to the eight markets promised the console at launch, but won't see it release until 2014. You could import an Xbox One and games from one of the 13 launch markets this November.
"When the console launches this November, we will support Xbox One in 13 markets. Xbox One may be used in all countries, including the non-launched markets," Microsoft confirmed in a statement. "In addition, Xbox One games are not region locked. Any Xbox One game purchased at retail can be used in any country on any Xbox One."
Over on NeoGAF, Microsoft's Director of Marketing Albert Penello explained the reason for the Xbox One delay in eight countries was down to language and localisation, rather than manufacturing enough consoles. "Launch volumes are not really an issue. This was simply a software issue in terms of getting local language and voice support in the dash. It's pretty straightforward, but disappointing I know for people who are missing launch," Penello writes.
"Obviously, I support people waiting for the official supported launch in the affected markets for the best experience," he went on, before subsequently noting that all games are "worldwide signed"and therefore region-free, unlike Xbox 360 titles. Xbox One "will work everywhere (keeping in mind power supplies," he added.
"You can use one of the 13 digital marketplaces corresponding to our launch markets, assuming you have a valid payment instrument for those countries. Lots of people in Europe specifically travel, move, and visit family." However, Penello mentioned there is a workaround where payments are concerned, adding: "Now, of course, if you were using Pre-Paid cards..."
Music and video content such as Netflix is also "geo-restricted", but importing an Xbox One if you're in one of the eight affected countries getting the console in 2014, importing a console in November could be a viable option to waiting it out.

Writing History of T.A.Sturgeon
I find myself reciting poetry at middle school in Christmas Assemblies. Pam Ayres a particular favourite (and remembered to this day).
I start writing poetry in Secondary School, after finding a poem in a Sunday Supplement. An emotionally charged home life gives me reason to lose myself when my mother is being all weird and shouty. Poetry takes me away from this. I find it comes easily and is prolific. I write various lyrics and silly ditties for birthdays and weddings.
I start my first novel, 'Champagne Hurricane', a rock and roll love story, whilst I'm having an emotional breakdown. The first of a chain of life changing events starts with my father dying and the first husband leaving me, all within 18 months of each other. I'm awarded 'Runner-up' in a 'Writer's Forum' magazine competition. I start Aylesbury Art College, as was, and use my poems as part of my finals. It earns me a 'Distinction'. I find I have enough material to write my first and second book of 'Pocket Poetry', 'Walking My Path' and 'Jupiter Child'.
The next 3 books of poetry are written, 'Two 2 One', 'Finding My Roots', and 'Moving On'. I then relocate to Somerset. The novel is put on the back burner due to a demanding second husband, which ends very badly for me.
I relocate back to Bucks, finding myself with little to show for my time away. I return to my writing and the first novel, 'Champagne Hurricane', is finished before the New Year.
A massive near fatal heart attack in the March leaves me on the verge of another emotional breakdown. I start to write my second novel, 'Dare To Live', and take a very level headed look at my life. Suddenly, everything has changed again. Housebound pushes me back into writing once more and 2 more volumes of poetry are poured out before the end of the year, 'Life at the end of the Tunnel' and 'Alternative Lyrics'. A new novel is started, 'Hold My Soul', and runs parallel with the second, six others are also dabbled with, but soon fall by the way.
I finish 'Dare To Live' and two more for the poetry collection are completed, 'The Last Crusader' and 'Last One Standing'. A tenth is then completed, 'Letting Love Rule'. 'Hold My Soul', still in its infancy, is set aside as the rhythm of the ode becomes my favourite once again.
With the New Year comes more poetry. 'Winners and Losers' is the eleventh book, followed by 'Thrice Shy', the twelfth, and' Lucky For Some', the thirteenth. Later that year 'Champagne Hurricane' is ePublished to Smashwords.com and is welcomed with open arms by the readers, gaining 10, 5 star reviews, and being downloaded at an amazing rate. I place it online, free of charge, thinking no one would want to read it, but how wrong I was. It goes global in a matter of weeks with several other ePublishers picking it up, Barnes and Noble and W.H.Smiths being two of them. I also ePublish 'Dare To Live' and three volumes of poetry, 'Walking My Path', 'Jupiter Child' and 'Winners or Losers', all to have surprising results throughout the year.
There is also a fourteenth book of poetry written but is partly lost due to my hard drive burning out, some is salvaged but this remains nameless and unpublished to this day.
'Champagne Hurricane' continues to gather followers as the poetry collection grows. I spend time in Canada and write the fifteenth book, 'Landscaped', which is then made ready and ePublished in March. The sixteenth is started and is to be finished, as yet…
Review by:
cathy perkins
on Nov. 07, 2012 :
Although a good book in its own way,I personally think that there is too much "rambling" and repetition.
It is certainly a different perspective to the story that is prevalent, but I don't believe it is of the same high standard of Champagne Hurricane which held my attention through to the end. This however did not.
I would probably think about 3.5 stars for this story.

Good 3.9 /5 from 240 reviews
This hotel is in a nice part of town and it's decently priced. It's a bit small and the bed was smaller that I was used to.
This hotel is really wonderfully located in the heart of vibrant Neukolln, near many interesting eateries and attractions. It's decently priced, the rooms are clean and the wifi is fast and free. The staff is really attentive: when we arrived in our room, we found an infant crib already installed and furnished for our baby. Highly recommended!
central location
Decent hotel for a short stay in downtwon Berlin
the room was extremely small not what i expected from the pictures shown. The internet access is very limited to less that 1gb a day, if you are there for business is not a good deal... Service by front desk was very uncaring and quite rude. Breakfast was fine at the very least. The hotel was clean but when I arrived to my room the comfort had a blood stain and when asked to be please be changed they said I had to wait until the next day for housekeeping to replace it and refused to accommodate me in to a room that had a clean bed because it wasnt "allowed". Over all I wont be spending another night in that hotel.

Blackshirts come up big on the goal line
By David Ubben
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Missouri banged on the door three times, but the Blackshirts wouldn't let them in.
Missouri ran three times at the 1-yard line, but all three times, the Nebraska defense protected the goal line, and a fourth-down false start forced the Tigers to settle for a field goal.
Tigers trail 31-17
It's not very often that giving up three points gives a team momentum, but this might have been one of those occasions. Bo Pelini was fist-pumping on the sideline. Jared Crick unleashed a big scream after the stop on third down, and the crowd got behind the team after a disputed fumble allowed Missouri to keep the ball at the 1-yard line.
Outside of Helu's long run in the quarter and a still-stifling pass defense, Nebraska has largely been sleepwalking through the game after its crazy-good start.
Thanks to the crucial goal-line stand, every one of the 85,907 in attendance is wide awake.

We went for a half day ride with Tash this summer, and can't praise him enough! He was a very funny and skilled guide when it comes to both riding and the nature we were riding in. He handled guiding a group of people with very mixed riding skills beautifully, and made sure everybody could enjoy the ride. The horses were nice and the weather and scenary fantastic! It was everything that we had dreamed of :)

LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.

Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

Sometimes, even knowing the power of example, we're tempted to rely on our words alone to teach and lead the flock. We are, after all, wordsmiths by trade. But there are certain areas of your personal life that will speak volumes to those watching.
1. Quiet time and prayer life. Rarely do people literally observe you in your quiet time, but your walk with God shows. The power we so desperately need in the pulpit is absolutely dependent on a consistent quiet time. In other words, our private time with God has an effect on our public walk before people. When God's people pray, huge things happen. So inspire them to pray by your example.
2. Study and knowledge of Scripture. Paul told young Timothy to "rightly divide" the Word and to give attention to public reading of Scripture. In other words, without boasting, let your knowledge of Scripture be a part of what people experience of you. No matter what changes come in our culture, people will always be searching for an answer from God to their hurts, hang-ups, and problems. You can show up with answers, but only if you're continually studying the Word.
3. Wise decision-making. When you assume the leadership of a church, you begin with a certain amount of leadership trust equity. People will trust you, to some degree, just because you're the leader. But every decision you make either earns or costs you trust. People will be watching your decisions carefully. If you demonstrate wise decision-making patterns, others will trust you and follow your lead.
4. Marriage and family life. Be careful not to force your family to live as though they're on display, but there's no escaping the reality that others will be influenced by the way you lead your family. Realize that others will learn how to treat their spouses and children by watching how you act as a spouse and parent.
5. Stewardship of your resources. How you use the resources God gives you is also crucial. You may think it's a matter between you and God, but people will learn from the values you represent. Strive to avoid the extremes of extravagance and miserliness. Model generosity. Your teaching on stewardship is bolstered when you live out biblical values in the area of finances and resources.
6. Rhythm of work and rest. Pastors get to model two major values here: hard work and appropriate rest. We are tempted to show off our busyness, but that can reinforce the workaholic habit in our congregation. So work hard, but rest. Remember that Jesus told us to "come apart" so that we don't come apart.
7. Ethical standards. From paying all the taxes you owe to setting specific boundaries in your interactions with the opposite gender, people under your leadership will usually rise (or fall) to your ethical standards. Avoid legalistic, performance-based living, but don't be afraid to live by high standards. Your example is meaningful.
