He hasn't forgotten her, and she sure hasn't forgiven him.
Jessica Macks is a she-wolf on the run from a band of murderous rogues. When she finds a job at a shifter bar, it seems like a safe haven from her hunted life on the road. But the minute she walks through the swinging doors of the Blue Moon Saloon and comes face-to-face with the man she once loved, she's tempted to march right back out. No way, no how is she risking her heart with that infuriating alpha bear again.
Simon Voss thought he lost everything in an ambush months before: his home, his family, his past. His new job at the Blue Moon Saloon is a desperately needed fresh start on life. Then along comes Jessica, the irresistible she-wolf his clan forced him to reject years before. When Simon is obliged to hire Jessica and work side by side with the one woman to ever make his bear go wild, he's half in heaven, half in hell. He hasn't forgotten her, and she sure as hell hasn't forgiven him. Is this just another path to heartbreak or his last chance to claim his destined mate?

"First audiobook"
Fun, witty characters
As my first audiobook, I had no idea what to expect. I will be honest in saying, I thought that the voices of the guys would be narrated by a guy. At first it was very strange to listen to a female 'trying' to sound like a guy. Once I was past that, the rest was smooth sailing. Both stories were enjoyable and the characters were fun to get to know. Each kind of quirky in their own way. It's great for fans of shifter romances!
Second chances at happily ever after. With a past better left in the past, Jessica Macks finds herself faced with a past she rather forget, Simon Voss. A wolf and a bear will never work out.
Love is blossoming but when it is with a human...Janna Macks is a wolf shifter who finds herself falling for sexy cowboy Cole Harper. But what happens when the unexpected occurs, Jenna wolf is crying out that Cole is her mate.
I voluntarily reviewed Twice in a Blue Moon as a gifted copy from the author.
"Great series"
She-wolf Jessica Macks and bear shifter Simon Voss has a past that left them both hurting and with a broken heart. But what will their future bring now that fate has brought them together again? You'll have to read the book to find out.
Wolf shifter Janna Macks and human Cole Harper have pack problems and rouges to over come to if they are to be together. Love this story. Love spunky Janna and sexy Cole.
Ms Lowe's characters are such fun to get to know. They are witty, strong, funny, brave and off the charts sexy. I highly recommend this and all her books.

"Love this series!!!"
Yes, I would. I enjoyed both stories, and the narrator did wonderful. Plus, I love shifters!!!
In the first book, Damnation, I loved how much Simon felt for Jessica. I love second chance romances, so Damnation was my favorite of the 2 books, but both books were great!
All of the romance scenes! Also, I love how badass Jessica and Janna are! They kicked some butt!
Yes, it definitely was!
The narrator was excellent! She had a wonderful tone to her voice, and I enjoyed the listening experience! Below is a review for each of the books individually beginning with the first in the series -
Damnation -
Loved this! Second chance romance with shifters, I'm all on board for that! Jessica and her sister, Janna, are starting new at the Blue Moon Saloon after their whole pack was wiped out by Rogue shifters. They are wolf shifters, and Jessica is very thankful to have found a place at the Blue Moon, but when she finds out her new boss is a past lover, she isn't too happy, but there isn't anywhere else for her and her sister to go, so Jessica is going to have to just deal with it. Jessica was deeply hurt by Simon when he broke things off with her without much explanation, and finds it difficult to be in his presence; especially since her wolf wants her mate, and Jessica is still affected by being near Simon. Simon is a bear shifter, and he can't believe it when Jessica walks into the Saloon; his bear growls mate and wants to make her his, but Simon hurt Jessica when he broke it off, so his bear is just going to have to wait. I love that there is POV's from both Jessica and Simon! Jessica is a strong and intelligent woman, and I really felt for her, when she lost her pack and when Simon turned her away. The romance is so sweet and wonderful, and Simon was adorable! I love that he rubs up on stuff! I know that sounds a bit weird, but it's a shifter story, so I think it fits. I love that he is a bit of a gruff bear, but his soft side comes out with Jessica. I also like that we get some action scenes, and I really enjoyed the writing! I also loved all the side characters, and I am super excited to read each of their books! This is a great shifter read, and I'm definitely looking forward to more from Anna Lowe!!
Temptation -
I'm really loving this series! In this book, we get Janna's story, who is Jessica's sister from the first book, and we get to see how Janna and Cole's story unfolds. You should read the first book in this series, or there will be some spoilers in this book for that book, and Janna and Cole are introduced in the first book, but I suppose it isn't completely necessary, but I think it adds to the enjoyment of this book; plus that book is awesome too! Janna and her sister have found a new home at the Blue Moon Saloon with the 2 were-bears, Simon and Soren, and Janna is feeling a strong attraction towards a regular at the Saloon. Cole is a sexy cowboy with something in his past that is eating away at him, and on top of that, he is starting to feel and hear strange things, and his feelings for Janna have turned animalistic. Janna's wolf is also feeling animalistic towards Cole, but she doesn't understand it because Cole is human, and on top of her wolf acting weird, there is the threat of the Rogues. The Rogues don't believe in mixing shifters, and they definitely don't want shifters and humans mixing. First off, I enjoyed the chemistry between Cole and Janna, and I found Cole to be adorable. I like Janna too, but I definitely think she should have made it more of a priority to talk with Cole; that made me think of her as a bit more ditzy then I had thought previously, so I was a bit disappointed in that, but for the most part, I liked her. The story is interesting, and I liked the flow of the story. I'm excited to read the next book in the series, even if I don't really like the premise; I wanted more for Soren, so I'm disappointed with what I know so far, but since I loved the first 2 books and enjoy Anna Lowe's writing, I'm giving it a chance. Plus, I'm very interested in Soren! Looking forward to more of him, and more of the main couples from books 1 and 2!
"Two great stories in one download"
Damnation is Jessica's story. Jessica and her sister have been on the run. They don't know who they can trust and they aren't the same girls they used to be. Simon and his brother Soren have restarted their lives when they come face to face with Jessica and Janna again. Damnation was an excellent title as it described the bad shifters but it was the hell that Jessica and Simon where living through just to survive. The start of the story revolved around the pain of Jessica and her sister. But all the sudden before you knew it, Simon was opened up to us and his pain was revealed. What he had to go through even before he left to go east. What he buried in his heart. Damnation: Reckless Desires took the listener on a complete journey in order to find Jessica and Simon "home."
Temptation is Janna's story. Janna was the happy go lucky sister. Or at least that's the way she wanted everyone to think. I loved how she tried to protect everyone and not worry anyone. It was easy to tell that Janna was still learning what it was to depend on others and find strength in that support. When she probably should have asked for help she waited afraid of the consequences. Cole was lucky that she was strong spirited as he was going nuts. You couldn't help but to love and feel for Cole. He had all of these issues that he wanted to drown in whiskey but then there was Janna and new issues. You've got to get to the bull scene as it just pulls all of the strings for Janna & Cole. It was amazing. While there is more trouble brewing, Janna & Cole work on finding each other and their future.
I found a new narrator to follow. This series was the first I had listened to Kelsey Osborne. She was animated and told the story in all the right places, whether it was characters speaking or thinking, or setting a scene, she was able to evoke the emotions of the story that Anna Lowe had written. There were several places where I found myself emotionally invested in the story to the point of being choked up or teary eyed. Every character and narration feels like it has life and animation, as if you are there. A well chosen narrator for this series.
Ms. Lowe did well in weaving her spell with these stories and then choosing Ms. Osborne to cast it. I can't wait for the next stories to listen to in the series.
"A fantastic way to jump into this series."
If you have not picked up this series do yourself a favour and get this brilliant starter deal. Box sets are a great way to keep a series together for easy access.
Two really gripping stories that hold your attention till the end.
I have posted reviews for the books so read them for more feedback but you cannot go wrong with this author.
I am slowly coming around to the narration side of audible books and find that I listen to the story now more than the narrator so that is good.
I love to read about Shapeshifters of all kinds but am partial to Bears and Wolves. I love series that connect .
"wonderful writing, narrator, addictive series"
I bought the books and recieved this audio for an honest review. while I enjoyed the books on thier own, I was spellbound with the 2 together, no waiting or searching for the followup story. I fell in love with Simon and Jessica and was swept up with the emotion . The battle to get beyond the past, especially with the constant fear of the Blue Bloods. They overcome and reunite but the Blue Bloods still stand. Now we go to Janna and Cole. A wolf with a human ? The Blue Bloods will NOT allow that. We get to know and love our Cowboy and why he is so broken. There are some pretty intense scenes here, you feel the pain the guilt, the frustration and the love. A few times I had to stop for a little on order to catch my breath. In the end our couple reach other but still the Blue Bloods are still a threat. Can't wait for Redemption to be on audio. I have the book, but I love listening when I am working out or cleaning house. The narrator put a spin with her in fluctuations brings a new point to the story line. Get you copy and join in this wonderful make shift family and most of all enjoy.
"Great story"
Loved this audio! The stories are excellent and the characters are relatable and you really want to know what happens next. Steamy in some parts, sweet in others. Plenty of action and a good dose of sass and humor. If you love shifter romances don't miss this one!
l have and love the books but to have someone read it to me while I was driving was awesome. Thank you for the gift! I loved every moment of it. I already love the story and the narrator did a fabulous job of pulling me into the action.
"Love this Series!"
Review Book 1:
"Great start to the series!"
Overall: 4 Stars
Performance: 4 Stars
Story: 4 Stars
Q: Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A: Yes, it's fun, flirty and even has a bar fight. I enjoyed the flow of the story and how the author filled in the backstory while telling the current story. I enjoyed the back and forth chatter between wolf and human. It showed while the two were one, that human and animal see the world differently.
Q: What did you like best about this story?
A: I totally loved the humor which was sprinkled liberally throughout the story.I loved how the girls practically took over running the saloon. They're brainstorming session was freaking hilarious.
Q: Which scene was your favorite?
A: I loved it when Simon realized Jessica was selling his muffins.
"Muffins? She was selling his muffins?
"Giving my muffins away, he nearly said"
Q: If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A: I have no idea. Sorry.
Q: Any additional comments?
A: My only turn off in the story is taking the Lord's name in vain. I have little problem with other swearing, but that always makes me wince and jars me out of the story. That said, the cursing is not over the top and fits the moments it's used.
While I enjoyed the narrator, Kelsey Osborne, I kind of wish she had a bit more definition in the male voices. That said, I'm looking forward to listing to the next one.
Review of Book 2:
"Loving this series!"
Overall: 5 Stars
Performance: 4 Stars
Story: 5 Stars
Q: Would you listen to Temptation: Reckless Desires again? Why?
A: Totally. It's a great story and my favorite of the series so far. I loved the interaction between the main characters and their wolves. Plus, there was lots of humor.
Q: Who was your favorite character and why?
A: I am totally in love with Cole. He was so sweet and lovable. I loved how he dealt with the changes that were happening to him.
I also loved the wolves voices inside Janna and Cole's heads.
Q: Which scene was your favorite?
A: Hmmm, it's hard to say that without spoiling the story. I loved the scene with the Cole, Janna, and the bull.
Q: Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
A: Totally...and I did just that last night.
Q: Any additional comments?
A: I have to say the narrator, Kelsey Osborne, impressed me much more with this book. The male voices were much better this time.
Required FTC Disclosure: I received a free copy of this audiobook.
"Enchanting voice & great story line"
Great series intro
Loved the fact that this is a spin off to the Twin Moon Ranch series.
I love Kelsey's voice. It really suits Anna Lowe's writing and I can hear her when I read it myself!
Sizzling hot, action packed with just the right amount of description that kept me hooked even though I read the books as well before.

Zhao Ziyang was the Gorbachev that China never had, a symbol of the turn that China never took towards creating a democratic, pluralistic state.
Zhao Ziyang, politician: born 17 October 1919; Secretary-General, South China Sub-Bureau, Chinese Communist Party 1950-54, Third Secretary 1954-55; Third Deputy Secretary, CP Guangdong 1955, Secretary 1962, First Secretary 1965-67; Secretary, CCP Central-South Bureau 1965-67; Secretary, CCP Nei Monggol 1971; Secretary, CCP Guangdong 1972, First Secretary 1974; First Secretary, CCP Sichuan 1975-80; Premier, State Council 1980-87; Minister of State, Commission for Economic Reconstruction 1982-87; Acting General Secretary, CCP 1987, General Secretary 1987-89; twice married (four sons, one daughter); died Beijing 17 January 2005.
Zhao Ziyang was the Gorbachev that China never had, a symbol of the turn that China never took towards creating a democratic, pluralistic state.
Just before the Tiananmen massacre in June 1989, Zhao was arrested, along with many of his followers, and replaced as Secretary General of the Communist Party. He was last seen in public on 19 May that year when he visited the students on hunger strike on Tiananmen Square and, with tears in his eyes, told them, "I came too late."
Standing next to him in the bus where he was filmed on this effort to reach out to the students was Wen Jiabao who is now the premier of China, the number two ranking political leader in the Politburo Standing Committee.
What exactly Zhao intended to achieve by these words, which were filmed and aired on Chinese television, is something of a mystery. He arrived close to midnight, when the leadership, swollen by a group of retired Party veterans, had decided to declare martial law and send in the tanks after a million people had taken to the streets.
Zhao seemed to be pleading with the students to abandon their vigil before it was too late, but what we don't know is whether he really backed the student demands for democracy which, judging from what happened in the Soviet Union, would have spelt the end of the Chinese Communist Party.
Like Boris Yeltsin, Zhao had a chance to turn against the Party, stand on the tanks and ally himself with the people and the students calling for democracy. However, he never took it and instead chose to remain loyal to the Party which he had served all his life. As a result, he spent the last 15 years of his life under house arrest, together with his wife Li, in the courtyard house in the centre of Beijing which had once belonged to the hairdresser of the Manchu Dowager Empress Cixi.
Although, occasionally, small groups of his followers gathered outside and sent in petitions on his behalf keeping his memory alive, the Party was successful at excising Zhao's name from the historical record.
His influence on China had been immense, especially after the death of Mao Tse-tung when, for 14 years, he played a leading role in pushing through economic reforms, starting with the first tentative steps to open rural markets and abolish the People's Communes.
He was born in 1919, the son of a prosperous landlord in Henan province who, as such, was murdered by the Communist Party during land reforms during the 1940s. By this time Zhao Ziyang had joined the Communist League and spent years working in the underground. Not much is known about these years, but he emerged into prominence as a political leader in Guangdong province. During the 1950s, he worked for its ultra-leftist Party Secretary Tao Zhu and was noted for being ruthless in pushing through the creation of the People's Communes.
After Mao said that people were starving because rich peasants were hiding the huge grain surpluses, Zhao took a leading role in campaigns to torture peasants into revealing their imaginary grain reserves. He therefore shared responsibility for the millions of people in Guangdong who starved to death between 1958 and 1961.
However, he appears to have switched sides after the famine and joined the moderates lead by Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping who allowed peasants to grow food in small plots which they could sell on the market. For this, he was attacked by Mao's followers during the Cultural Revolution for taking the capitalist road and dismissed from all his posts. He was paraded through the streets of Canton wearing a dunce's cap.
It is not clear how badly Zhao was persecuted after this, when many of Mao's opponents lost their lives, but in 1975 he was appointed Party Secretary of Sichuan province, the most populous province in China, which had been the scene of violent battles during the Cultural Revolution. After Mao's death in 1976, he began to re- introduce the measures which had helped China recover from the 1958 Great Leap Forward Famine.
The measures were so successful at ending food shortages in Sichuan that there was a saying: " Yao chi liang, zhao Ziyang", a word play on his name which loosely translated means, "If you want to eat, seek Ziyang."
Similar measures that were tried in Anhui province became national policy after Deng consolidated his grip on power in 1978. Deng brought Zhao into the Politburo and in 1980, he was appointed premier with a mandate to expand the rural reforms. By 1984, he had dissolved the People's Communes after tentative trials in Sichuan and China's grain output had by this time risen by 50 per cent. Rural markets flourished and peasants began building new houses.
Zhao was also responsible for helping to father the special economic zones and attracting investments, especially export manufacturing jobs to the "gold coasts" of Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, which became the engine which has driven China's rise to become the world's third largest trading nation. Zhao was attacked as a Marxist heretic for pushing the theory that China is in the "preliminary stage of socialism" and so some people, and some areas, could be allowed to get rich first.
Political reform was in the hands of his superior Hu Yaobang but, in the late 1980s, they jointly backed a plan to launch serious political reforms. The aim of the programme was always rather vague. It included direct voting in the Politburo, elections with more than one candidate, more transparency, more consultation and individual responsibility for mistakes.
These ideas, coupled with the anti-corruption campaigns which targeted the sons and daughters of top leaders, produced a furious reaction. Hu was dismissed from office in January 1988 by a clique of aged retired revolutionaries but Deng pushed through Zhao as his replacement.
Zhao had only been in the job as head of the Party and the designated heir for little more than a year when the protests began. The trigger was the death of Hu from a heart attack and the students at Beijing's leading universities used the mourning for a national leader as guise for renewing demands for political reforms to end official corruption.
We still do not know the extent to which Zhao or his followers organised the pro-democracy protests and if he intended to use the popular movement to drive Deng and the other octogenarian revolutionaries from power. Deng and his cronies certainly believed Zhao was behind the protests which spread all over China. And, as long as Zhao was alive, the current Chinese leadership has always lived with the fear that his death could trigger another uprising against their rule.

UPDATED: Attorney general receives complaints about aldermen's unofficial meeting
No Sunshine Law violation occurred, Crestwood city attorney responds
Gloria Lloyd
Staff Reporter
write the author
August 14, 2013 -
The Missouri attorney general is asking the Crestwood Board of Aldermen for more information about an unofficial meeting conducted by half the board to discuss the proposed redevelopment of Crestwood Court.
In a July 30 letter addressed to the board, Attorney General Chris Koster said he has received several complaints about the aldermen's compliance with the Open Meetings and Records Law, also known as the Sunshine Law, specifically regarding the unofficial meeting. Along with his letter, Koster enclosed five booklets outlining the provisions of the Sunshine Law.
"The complaints allege that four members of the board … met at a local Starbucks on June 4, 2013, and discussed the redevelopment of Crestwood Court without posting notice," Koster wrote in the letter to board members, asking for a response to the allegations from the city by Aug. 13.
In an Aug. 12 letter to Brenda Siegler, Koster's Sunshine Law coordinator, new Crestwood City Attorney Lisa Stump wrote that the meeting did not violate the Sunshine Law due to lack of a quorum. Stump took over for former City Attorney Rob Golterman on Aug. 1.
The booklets Koster sent will be provided to aldermen, and Stump's law firm Lashly & Baer will train city staff and aldermen on the Sunshine Law at the request of City Administrator Mark Sime, Stump added.
Centrum Properties has not yet formally withdrawn its redevelopment proposal, after partner Sol Barket told city officials and the Call through email that he was withdrawing the plan. Mayor Jeff Schlink and Barket are not talking to the press about issues related to Crestwood Court for most of the month of August.
In an email to the Call, Schlink called Koster's letter "an unnecessary distraction that could have been avoided."
The aldermen who have voted for studying the current redevelopment proposal for the mall site, Richard Breeding and Darryl Wallach of Ward 1, Mary Stadter of Ward 2 and Dan Tennessen of Ward 4, have said they met that night at Starbucks in Crestwood to discuss how to move redevelopment forward after a board work session had been scheduled and canceled by city officials for lack of a quorum. At least two of the members, Breeding and Wallach, met in the parking lot of Crestwood City Hall at 6 p.m., when the original work session had been scheduled before it was canceled.
"The meeting was posted and communicated as canceled," Schlink wrote in a June 6 email to the board. "There was no meeting scheduled. The public outcry and perception of a Sunshine Law violation will be a separate matter."
Because the unofficial gathering of aldermen at the coffee shop did not have a quorum, Stump and Golterman agreed it did not violate the Sunshine Law because it was not, by the definition of the law, a "meeting" — which requires a quorum, or five of the eight board members, to be present.
"It's kind of a non-issue," Stadter, who was elected to the board in April., told the Call. "(The law) states that you can't have an intent to circumvent the Sunshine Law. We obviously had no intent to circumvent — we sat out in the open."
After Golterman gave his opinion on the legality of the meeting, Ward 4 Alderman MikeTsichlis asked what Golterman thought of any future such meetings being held by board members.
"When all members of the board have been notified that a meeting that had been scheduled has been canceled and is no longer publicly posted, is it appropriate to the letter and spirit of the Missouri Sunshine Law to hold an impromptu gathering of half the elected board at a private location to discuss matters of city business which are frequently on the agenda at BOA meetings?" he wrote.
In a July 3 email response to Tsichlis, Golterman wrote, "Mike, based on the facts — somewhat limited — that were relayed to me shortly after the meeting took place, I did not believe that a Sunshine Law violation had occurred. That said, whenever some number of board members less than a quorum meet to discuss city business, there certainly can be the perception that the intent is to evade the law.
"It would be in everyone's best interest — including the city's — to limit such gatherings."
The meeting may have had an effect on redevelopment votes. Prior to the vote the week before the Starbucks meeting on planner Peckham Guyton Albers & Viets, or PGAV, Schlink said he would break a tie and hire the planner to perform a study of the mall site.
In an email sent the night of the June 3 meeting, however, Schlink wrote, "The scheduled Tuesday meeting at a local business cemented the divide of 4-4 for all votes on this matter."
During another vote on hiring PGAV at the board's July 23 meeting, Schlink told Stadter he would not break a tie to hire the planner. The vote failed 5-3, with Stadter voting against the planning study so she could bring it up at a future meeting.
PGAV withdrew its proposal the next day, however, writing to Schlink that it does not want to be associated with any more negative votes against the redevelopment project. At each PGAV rejection, board members who voted against the study noted they did not vote against PGAV, but were instead registering their discontent with Centrum's proposal.
Former Ward 4 Alderman Steve Nieder requested the city investigate the meeting at Starbucks at its June 25 meeting, asking for minutes of the meeting and why aldermen showed up for a meeting that had been canceled. Schlink told Nieder that city officials would look into the issue.
Reading a statement in response to Nieder's questions, Wallach said that the board learned late on June 3 that the following day's meeting would be canceled.
"I had suggested to the other aldermen, Stadter, Breeding and Tennessen, to meet at Starbucks, yes," he said. "We were sitting outside in the public, not private. We were having frank discussions about the way this board cannot agree to meet on delicate issues … There was no proprietary information discussed. There was no deliberate attempt to evade the Sunshine Law."
Wallach, who was first elected to the board in 2009, said that he had met outside of scheduled board meetings with Ward 3 Alderman Paul Duchild and former Ward 3 Alderman Jerry Miguel "on fact-finding issues about our police fleet. At no time, again I stress at no time, did these discussions place the city at risk for any Sunshine Law violations."
In an email to the Call, Miguel said he did not recall any meetings with Wallach and Duchild about the Police Department.
The night of the meeting, Stadter wrote an email to the entire board saying that the four board members had met: "Four aldermen arrived ready for the work session at 6 p.m., and as we did not have a quorum we decided to go over to a local business and discuss how we thought we might move this issue of the redevelopment of the Crestwood Court property forward."
The next day, Tsichlis emailed city officials with a question about the Starbucks meeting.
"(If) another alderman stepped into (Starbucks) while the group was gathered and seated with laptops open, would it be incumbent upon the group to inform the alderman of the nature of the meeting and what was being discussed?"
The delayed work session eventually took place July 9, with all aldermen in attendance.
Koster's booklet explaining the Sunshine Law states that even public meetings with no quorum could be violations of the law if they were held to deliberately evade the law, or if the meeting is held to "discuss and decide" public business that would later be ratified in a meeting.
No decisions brought back to the board for ratification appeared to have been made in the Starbucks meeting, however, Golterman said.
It would be easier to identify a Sunshine Law violation if the four aldermen who unofficially met later went to the other half of the board outside official channels and tried to change their votes based on what went on in the unofficial meeting, said Missouri Press Association attorney Jean Maneke.
Emails among the board and city officials provide a timeline of the events leading up to the meeting at Starbucks.
City Administrator Mark Sime emailed the board at 1:24 p.m. on June 3 that the session scheduled for the next day would be canceled since four members could not attend.
At 9:19 p.m., Wallach emailed Breeding, Tennessen, Stadter and City Clerk Tina Flowers, "Rich, Dan and Mary, let me know if you are still able to meet/convene at 6:00 tomorrow. Tina, I've only copied you in to see if the Aldermanic Chambers is still available."
"Yes, I can still attend," Stadter replied that same night.
Wallach asked Sime what would happen if a board member changed his or her mind the next day and was able to meet, giving the board a quorum to meet. That would not matter since public notice for the meeting had already been taken down, Sime replied. Public notice of a government meeting must be posted at least 24 hours in advance, according to state law.
This story was updated to include former City Attorney Rob Golterman's email response to a question posed by Ward 4 Alderman Mike Tsichlis.

After a near year of travel the time has come for us to find a place to call home. Come February we will be packing our swags and heading to Sydney. It's been one hell of an adventure, from the West Coast to the East Coast and everywhere in between. We spent a sweltering summer in Florida, lived the dream in a crumbling Brooklyn warehouse, hiked our way through dozens of National Parks, camped out in goodness knows how many Walmart's and soaked up enough Americana to last a lifetime. Oh and to top it off we got engaged, the land of opportunity has treated us well!
As much as I will miss the indescribable freedom of living on the road, exciting things await us back home. I will be returning to my handmade clothing label, something I have missed dearly whilst being abroad and Oli will be studying animation at UTS.
To all the wonderful people I have met during this odyssey, it's been an absolute pleasure and you shan't be forgotten. To any Sydney siders out there, lets get acquainted!

You would think with only three days standing between me and
getting to the starting line of the half marathon I would be thinking about
crossing the finishing line and getting a medal. Instead…do you know what I am obsessing
about? Shoes. I have such massive shoe envy it is
ridiculous. Way back when…I used to run
after work and school…I also used to wear 3 inch heels everyday…the result…plantar
fasciitis. So you can imagine when I
decided to train…I knew that I was going to have to rethink my shoe wearing. I have been "flats only" since February. For the past few weeks…since I am worried
about getting blisters before the big day…I'm have only been wearing shoes that
fit perfectly. Boring…but necessary. All my pretty shoes like these just sit in my
closet waiting for me. There will be no
heels for me until after October 12…now that is commitment!!
That is when I knew that I was pretty serious in my
determination to hit all three of my fitness goals this year (walk 10 miles –
DONE, finish a half marathon, and finish a marathon). I am organizing my life around them. I'm not wearing heels. I'm sometimes late to things. I'm taking time to hydrate, check my blood
sugar and eat healthy. I have made this
a priority. It is the first thing I
think about in the morning when I wake up.
It is the last thing I think about before falling asleep. It is forward momentum. It is determination. It is will.
I have not ever pushed myself to the limit physically before. I could say that this will happen on Sunday
morning…but the truth is…I have already pushed.
Every bit of everything that I have put in over the past 14 weeks is
what will get me to the starting line…all that happens afterward is the reward.
And so we are clear...the reward I am referring to is all the good "inside" stuff...and not materialistic things like some medal or a beautiful pair of shoes like these....
And so we are clear...the reward I am referring to is all the good "inside" stuff...and not materialistic things like some medal or a beautiful pair of shoes like these....

text: A Hares Breath looks too good to miss as he bids to back up his impressive win last time.Andy Holding | Thursday 10th December 2015 / 21:00 Cheltenham 13:10It's almost impossible to gauge how much in hand A HARE BREATH (best price 9/4) had when scoring in emphatic fashion over today's C&D last time out, but there's more than a fair chance a 12lb hit by the handicapper still underestimates his true level of ability. The overriding feature of that performance in a similar race last time was the way he breezed past his field coming down the hill and even withstanding his huge absence off the track, the son of Alkaadhem was just as strong on the punishing climb to the line in the latter stages. His ambitious trainer has spoken in glowing terms about his charge in the interim, suggesting the seven-year-old may have improved further still and if that turns out to be the case, his rivals are set for an uncomfortable afternoon's work. A Hare Breath - 4pts @ 9/2Lost -4pts Cheltenham 14:55Bookmakers have been on the receiving end of many Warren Greatrex-trained gambles in handicaps so far this season – Aloomomo, Missed Approach and April Dusk the most recent trio – and in the shape of ONE TRACK MIND (best price 10/3) , the old enemy could well be ducking for cover once again. Thought good enough by his shrewd Lambourn handler to run in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle last season off the back of just two previous hurdle starts, the son of Flemensfirth acquitted himself with distinction up against the likes of Parlour Games, Vyta Du Roc and Blaklion and a repeat of that level of performance would easily be good enough for him to have a huge say in a race of this nature off a mark of just 139. Obviously, fitness has to be taken on trust, but the vibes coming out of the Greatrex camp are more positive than negative and if there's one horse in the line-up capable of taking it to another level, he looks the most likely.

One of the main auto makers globally, Suzuki includes a significant quantity of low-listed models for middle earnings people with insufficient cash. They're efficient on gasoline and very reasonable on repair expenditure with automobiles accessible with factory fixed Compressed Gas options, contributing to the cost saving benefits of Suzuki makes. The established cars within the lower finish passenger segment range from the Khyber, Cultus, Mehran and Alto.
Suzuki is now offering probably the most current auto production configurations in South Asia. It began its area procedures back in 1984 and exports items to nations like Maldives and Ghana. Suzuki also produces commercial automobiles which is fairly standard to note numerous pick-ups parked at transportation centers in primary urban centers in Pakistan, supplying their professional services to temporary organizations to maneuver light construction along with other loads.
The Mehran is really a terrific vehicle having a coupe form along with a logical quality exterior and interior shape. It features a firm feel and groovy controlling, by having an 800cc engine capacity. The Mehran is offered by having an ac and is a good cash saving idea both when it comes to cost and superb gasoline saving. The trunk cargo compartment is acceptable despite the fact that more compact sized than many different similar makes within the same group.
An impressive vehicle for cruising on stuffed up city streets, the Mehran can fly within an from difficult areas and fit effortlessly within the tiniest of rare parking areas. This is among the biggest positive points of riding a coupe in packed urban centers especially considering the Mehran is substantially less expensive than other auto companies buying and selling models within the same group.
An over-all glitch using the Suzuki Mehran is the fact that trims tend to be more than frequently not soundly bolted with constant traveling there's a boost in clattering noises. Be cautious when fixing seem equipment or any accessory that requires elimination of pieces such as the instrument panel or rear seats and become certain objects are very well attached on refixing. Also drive carefully over damaged patches and rocky avenues to restrain these difficulties.
Despite trivial quality troubles the Suzuki Mehran doesn't pose as anything besides an affordable vehicle, with nominal up-keep. With cut-rate and completely new and utilized parts which are accessible without any trouble the Mehran is actually an excellent vehicle for working families on the rigid budget.

Who are the homeless? The Orange County homeless population includes families and individuals representing every race, age group and community in Orange County. The homeless are often wrongly portrayed as panhandlers asking for money. On the contrary, the Orange County homeless population consists of working families, individuals, run away children, seniors, mentally ill, and U.S. Veterans. Many live in cars, parks, under bridges, motels and in homeless shelters trying to maintain their dignity while they struggle to survive. As a result, most homeless remain hidden. AND 2005 •Total homeless
population in Orange County: 34,898 • Homeless unaccompanied individuals: 10,469 Approximately 100 emergency and transitional shelters: 3,289 beds |
About Health Some 47 million U.S. residents have no health insurance, and the numbers keep growing. America's workers struggle to pay higher premiums, deductibles and co-payments—if they can afford such coverage at all. At least 17.7% of all Asian Americans and 21.8% of Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders do not have health insurance compared to 11.2% of non-Hispanic whites. |

Outlook Angela Knight joined the British Bankers' Association on April Fool's Day 2007. She was a near-constant source of fun from then onwards, though not on purpose.
Her defences of bankers in the midst of the biggest banker-induced crisis in history brought hilarity to what could have otherwise been a dire situation.
And she was tenacious. Even in 2010 she still thought it bright to say this: "The banking industry did not cause a housing bubble, it wasn't the one setting monetary policy and it wasn't in charge of the regulator."
The thing about this statement is not whether some of it is arguably true but whether contrition might have been more sensible.
By letting on that bankers aren't in control of anything, she rather undermined their claims to be so clever they just have to be paid as fabulously as some of them are.
Otherwise, they are just these guys, at the mercy of markets, cashing in on the good times just because they are in the business of money and therefore close to it.
Ms Knight has sadly moved on, but there is reason to hope that her replacement will be nearly as good. Granted half a page in The Daily Telegraph to set his stall out, Anthony Browne does not disappoint. "Across the Government there is a growing acceptance that they must put the banker bashing behind them," he writes.
More please.

The Welfare State, Budgetary Pressure and Labour Market Shifts
Public debate about the welfare state in OECD countries has emphasized the need for reform to meet a twofold set of shocks: budgetary pressure and a labour market shift against unskilled workers. The aim of the paper is to set out a framework for examining the implications of these shocks for the optimal scale of social transfers and, in particular, the impact on different societies, distinguishing a restricted welfare state, labelled "the United States" and a more extensive welfare state, labelled "Continental Europe". Copyright 2000 by The editors of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics.

The first thing I noticed was that the atmosphere was unlike that of most resort restaurants. Unpretentious yet chic. Our server was very well versed in the menu and offered his actual opinion rather than the typical "well, everything's good on the menu". The selection on the menu is somewhat limited but the quality and presentation of the food is fantastic. Not to mention a quality wine selection.

On average, listings lease in the $30's per square foot per year. The Merrifield submarket is going through a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate fell $1 per sqft per year. That's a 2% decline in rent.
Compared to the rest of the Washington D.C. market, the Merrifield submarket has greater rates, and you'll need to make a great offer to be in this hot submarket.
In the last 90 days, 12 listings have been posted online, which means listings are probably going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About 8% of the available leases in the Merrifield are subleases, so you will probably need to sign a longer term lease with the landlord directly. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 6,950 sqft, there are still 0 new availabilities below 2,000 sqft. Most properties in this area are close to 6 floors. Most buildings in this area were built in 1986 and are Class A.

(WASHINGTON) -- ``Congress has a duty to make sure that federal aid to public schools and libraries isn't the means by which kids are exposed to hard-core and child pornography -- and passing the Children's Internet Protection Act (S.97) is a sure-fire way for Congress to safeguard our kids,'' said Jan LaRue, senior director of Legal Studies at Family Research Council (FRC). ``We appreciate the work of the Conference Committee and the desire of Congress to wrap up the session, but this needs to be brought to the floor now.'' The Children's Internet Protection Act is part of the House-Senate Conference Report on the Labor, Health and Human Services appropriations bill. The bill requires public schools and libraries that accept a federal subsidy for Internet access to utilize blocking technology that restricts access to illegal pornography. ``According to the bill, schools and libraries that receive a federal subsidy may use it to pay for filtering technology, but the decision on the selection and administration of filtering would be left solely in the hands of local school and library officials,'' Mrs. LaRue said. ``People who are opposed to mandatory filtering are misinformed and out-of- date with new technology, because no site or information is ever permanently blocked. If a site is wrongly blocked, it can be unblocked within a few minutes by the school or library server, or within 24-48 hours by the filtering company or Internet service provider. That poses no greater burden on students or library patrons than when a book they want is checked-out, unavailable, or misfiled. Schools and libraries have never provided unlimited access to all of the books and information in the world, so why is unlimited and immediate access to all information required on the Internet? ``Who in their right mind thinks the government should provide kids with access to bestiality and all of the other pornographic perversions available on the Internet?'' Mrs. LaRue asked. In addition to FRC, the Children's Internet Protection Act is strongly supported by several other conservative pro-family groups, including Focus on the Family, American Family Association, Christian Coalition, Concerned Women for America, National Law Center for Children and Families, Enough is Enough, and Morality in Media. The groups joined in a letter sent to Congress today urging passage of the bill by the end of the session.

There is something about a prepare that is grand, energizing, and memorable. This type of transportation has gotten individuals from their goals, whether over the city or the nation over for eras. Individuals cherish jumping on board, and not worrying about movement, headings, or any of alternate issues that torment travel. You can take the time on the prepare to get up to speed with work, read a book, snooze, or talk with others. You are easily taken starting with one area then onto the next. With their substantial size, their situating on a set combine of tracks, and their administered speeds, trains are an extremely regular and generally safe from of transportation for the masses.
While trains are utilized everywhere throughout the world once a day with couple of episodes, measurements demonstrate that there are roughly three thousand prepare mischances every year. These mischances can be because of various elements, for example, a blunder with respect to the conductor, climate related conditions, tracks that are not appropriately kept up or adjusted, or a miscommunication. Since trains convey an expansive number of individuals at one time, when a mishap occurs, it is exceptionally workable for the wounds to be to a great degree serious in nature, and influence a few people. At times, the mischance could be severe to the point that it brings about traveler passing's. In the event that you or somebody you know has been harmed as a result of a prepare mischance, you ought to realize that it might be conceivable to document a lawful case with a specific end goal to look for harms.
Video Link :http://wp.me/p8bcM6-7A
As specified above, measurements gauge that around three thousand individuals are harmed in prepare mischances every year, with the same number of as another thousand individuals slaughtered in prepare mishaps on a yearly premise. These wounds can be minor, for example, broken bones, scraped spots, and wounds, to very serious, for example, blackouts, head wounds, loss of motion, smolders, and inward wounds.
It is even feasible for individuals who were not on the prepare to be hurt by a mischance. In the Assembled States, it is assessed that a prepare wrecking happens once about like clockwork. These occurrences cause substance spills, which can prompt to genuine natural issues that can bring about medical issues for inhabitants that live close to the area of the mischance and ensuing spill.
On the off chance that you think these mishap rates appear to be high, you are not mixed up, and they are not without reason. There are various elements that effect trains to make them very powerless to incidents. These variables are as per the following:
Intersections at Occupied Convergences and Interstates: Maybe the most unsafe part to utilizing trains as a type of transportation is the issue of having the prepare cross a thruway or occupied movement crossing point. While there are numerous well being insurances set up, for example, doors, shrieks, sirens, and blazing lights, individuals regularly still overlook these notices. Drivers of private vehicles trust they can beat the prepare by racing through intersections after the notices have been given. This prompts to cataclysmic mischances that, much of the time, are lethal.

Who are Anabaptists?
Who are Anabaptists?
Anabaptists are experiencing a bit of a resurgence, which is interesting considering they are sometimes overlooked in the ecclesiastical histories. Many know what a Lutheran or a Calvinist is, but are less clear on Anabaptists. At the same time, others appropriate the term for their own use or agenda. It's almost trendy-- but ends up confusing at times.
So, I was intrigued when I was asked to speak at a Biannual National Convention of a denomination of actual Anabaptists. In preparation of that meeting, Ed Boschman, Executive Director of the U.S. Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, shared several documents with me to help me prepare for their meeting. I thought it might be worth passing on.
So, what really is an Anabaptist? Here is some of what I am reading about the movement, from Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary and the Mennonite Brethren movement (MB). Perhaps it might be helpful to you as well.
We use the terms "biblical theology," "anabaptist," and "evangelical" to describe our faith because these words also grow out of our history. Because MBs have been shaped by other movements that we have found compatible, a brief review of our story is helpful in understanding the context for such words as "evangelical" and "anabaptist."
We Mennonite Brethren have always considered ourselves a biblical people. While at times we use such statements as the Apostles' Creed, we describe ourselves as confessional rather than creedal. That is, we confess that we seek to believe, study, and obey the Bible as our primary authority. Our confession of faith is a statement that describes how our reading of the Bible (as God's inspired Word) connects us to the world in which we give witness. As a biblical people, we have instinctively tried to resolve theological and ethical questions by asking, "What does the Bible say?" or "How do we interpret Scripture as our authority for today?"
We speak of a biblical theology in contrast to a systematic philosophical theology. We make this distinction because we seek always to be guided more by the Bible than by a particular theological system—be that systematic, evangelical, or even Anabaptist. Our norm should always be the Bible. We use the word theology because we recognize that we need to read the whole Bible—to avoid lifting any single verse as a proof text that silences other biblical words.
At the same time we recognize the priority of Jesus' teaching. We have tended to use the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) as our first lens. We read the Gospels through the lens of the Sermon, the rest of the NT through the lens of the Gospels, and the OT through the lens of the NT. The term theology points to the need for interpretation. We seek to interpret the Bible within a world-wide community of faith under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
This biblical faith aims to rekindle the dynamic of the early church. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we gather to study the Word together. As the early church discerned God's will together at the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, we pursue a community hermeneutic. The early church gathered around and evaluated the apostolic testimony of Paul, Barnabas, and Peter; so also we gather around the biblical text to discern together how its authority guides our lives.
We seek to be a biblical people, but we recognize that our biblical interpretation has always been influenced by a range of theological currents. When our church formed in 1860, the first members expressed their agreement with Menno Simons. They were also strongly influenced by the Lutheran pietist movement with its emphasis on (1) group Bible study, (2) warm Spirit-filled faith growing out of personal conversion, (3) thoughtful faith nurtured by disciplined study, and (4) evangelistic witness. MBs also were open to influences from the larger evangelical church, especially Baptists who encouraged world missions and helped the young MB church develop its congregational polity. This openness to other evangelical churches continued in North America in the twentieth century and still characterizes MBs today.
While we claim a biblical theology, we recognize that other Christians also claim that the Bible is the source of their distinctive understandings. As a community we interpret the Bible from within our community's historical faith, seeking to minimize interference from influences that might distort our faith.
Two labels have been used to describe our community's understanding: evangelical and anabaptist. Both words have their origins in particular historical movements, but have taken on a range of cultural associations. Some find the labels positive and helpful while others prefer to avoid them. We use them here as a way of identifying the sources of the biblical perspectives that we affirm. These labels and the biblical perspectives they represent are somewhat overlapping rather than exclusive. What follows is a summary of what we have taken from each tradition—both evangelical and anabaptist.
We share the following emphases of evangelical faith (the word evangel itself means gospel or good news). Individual Christians are born again through conversion, receiving the gift of new life through trusting in Jesus' atoning death on the cross (John 3:16-18; Romans 3:19-26). Our theological authority is the Scripture (2 Timothy 3:15-17).
Discipleship in Christian life is nurtured through personal spiritual disciplines (1 Timothy 4:8). We understand our mission as a church to give witness to Jesus and to call others to new life (Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:8). We sense that our mission can be strengthened by learning to engage culture transformatively as we cooperate with like-minded Christians.
We also share some of the emphases of anabaptist faith (the word anabaptist was used by enemies of one group of 16th century reformers who insisted on believers baptism rather than infant baptism). God's people are born again for the purpose of growing as disciples (followers and learners) of Jesus (Mark 8:27-38; Matthew 5-7). Followers of Jesus are incorporated into the covenant community through baptism and grow as disciples whose lives demonstrate faithfulness as we practice holy living and mutual accountability, worship as a community, and engage together in mission (Matthew 18:15-20).
Our theological authority, the Scripture, is interpreted within the community as illumined by the Holy Spirit (Acts 15). Our mission in obedience to Jesus' Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) is to love our neighbors (Matthew 22:34-40) and to make peace through reconciliation with God, ourselves, our enemies, and God's creation (2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Matthew 5:38-42). We sense that our mission is always counter-cultural because our allegiance to the Lord Jesus and the kingdom that he proclaims puts us in tension with the culture around us.
As Mennonite Brethren we give witness to a biblical theology that has at its center the following:
- Conversion - receiving new life by trusting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
- Believer's baptism – baptizing believers who confess Jesus and enter church fellowship
- The Bible – obeying the authoritative Word of God, interpreted by the community as illumined by the Holy Spirit
- Church – living as a covenant community in worship, fellowship, accountability, witness
- Discipleship - seeking to follow Jesus' teaching and model
- Mission - witnessing and serving in passionate obedience to Jesus' Great Commandment and Great Commission
- Peace witness - reconciling all to God, ourselves, our enemies, and the creation
To sum up, at MBBS we seek to "give witness to a biblical theology that is both evangelical and anabaptist." We aim to reflect the MB Confession of Faith which is our church's interpretation of the Bible at the outset of this millennium.
We also hope to lead the church to faithful discipleship characterized by personal devotion to Christ expressed within the covenant community of believers. We continually seek a biblical vision of the redeeming and reconciling work of Christ for persons and the world in which they live. Our passionate commitment is to act as God's agents in the world as we anticipate the fulfillment of the kingdom of God.
And, now, you know a bit about who/what Anabaptists are (at least this stream of evangelical Anabaptists). And, next time someone shouts, "I'm Anabaptist!," you might ask what they mean and if it is, well, Anabaptist.
