2.4" TFT Desktop stand
Published 2017-06-19T09:37:59+00:00
With a small cheap TFT and an Arduino or ESP8266 many useful displays for your desktop can be made. Starting from ordinary clocks or weather stations also ideas like a display for the actual exchange rates, word clock, train schedule or even the time for the journey home can be found in the Internet.
But it's all the same, if your are a "maker" you can't use your inventions in the living room, the office, etc. unless you give it a professional appearance - Who like to display a "home brew" thing?
This very simple stand allows to cover your 2.4 TFT (based on a ILI9341) and a Wemos mini ESP8266 board with an appearance like bought from a gadget dealer - without any "home brew" touch.
The TFT, the ESP8266 and the two covers stick together without any glue or screws. As an example i used the color weather station of Dani Eichhorn - https://blog.squix.org/2016/10/esp8266-weather-station-color-code-published.html (Note I used a slightly different TFT, a TJCTM24024-SPI which has the same electronics but is 2.4" instead of 2.2".)

University of Baltimore MFA student Ellen Hartley found her truest love affair in a most unexpected way — through an equally emotional loss.
It began with a phone call.
Ellen, I've got dreadful news. Helen died yesterday. It was Myra, the sister of my best friend from music camp 40 years earlier. I didn't even know she'd been sick; over the years we'd lost touch. I knew only that she lived on Long Island and had four children. I was shocked and angry I hadn't gotten to say goodbye.
At camp Helen (nee Manheim, we called her Mannie) and I had been inseparable, both short and chunky, both flutists, both terrible tennis players. Mannie lived in Manhattan, went to exotic-sounding Music and Art High School, I was from DC and wished I could go to Music and Art. In 1966, I went to her wedding; she married a nice looking guy named Bob. Meanwhile, she'd switched to viola and was playing in a string quartet.
I had met Danny in college and married him in 1963. We lived in Philadelphia, where he was a med student and I freelanced on flute. Mannie and Bob used to visit; she and I would exchange the current musical dirt; the guys would argue about audio equipment. When my daughter was five months old, we descended on their Upper West Side apartment, stashed the baby in a padded dresser drawer, and left her with an outrageously priced sitter ($2/hour!), while the four of us did the town.
We kept in touch – sporadically, alas, after Mannie, Bob, and their first-born moved to Indiana. We'd get together occasionally at Myra's house in Laurel, not far from Baltimore, where Danny and I had settled. Bob, who'd been teaching English in South Bend, had been denied tenure because his outspoken liberal views were seen as threatening to the nice Catholic girls at St. Mary's College. By then Mannie had three young boys and was pregnant with her fourth (a girl!); Bob, who was not crushed to leave academia, found a promising job in editing on Long Island.
I never saw her after that.
Meanwhile, Danny's career was flourishing – he was becoming a prominent ophthalmologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Our marriage, sadly, was anything but flourishing, and in 1977 he moved out, leaving me on financially shaky ground with my six and seven year olds. I left professional music and went to law school. I ended up in the Baltimore City State's Attorney's office (portrayed quite realistically in "The Wire"). Fifteen years passed. By day I put crooks in jail, by night I dated countless men. There were a couple of serious relationships. But nothing screamed Forever. My last date was New Year's Eve, 1993, when a dashing lawyer named Tom left me stranded at a party to be with his mother. I swore off men.
Two weeks later I got Myra's phone call.
At first I was reluctant to contact Bob; we hadn't seen each other in years. Would he even remember my name? I called. Ellen, he cried, it's so good to hear your voice! I remembered his voice. We both cried.
It was an extremely cold, icy winter. The memorial service was postponed to May. I spoke about Mannie, about her crooning Shake o shake the ketchup bottle, none'll come & then a lot'll! After the service everyone gathered at Bob's house. I met all four children, who ranged in age from 10 to 19. Poor guy, I thought, a widower with a houseful of kids and an hour's daily commute into Manhattan. My life suddenly seemed serene and wonderful.
How on earth did we end up in each other's arms? Impossible, I told myself; he's my best friend's husband! Yet we kept in touch. Letters, more letters (the romantic days before email!), endless phone calls. I visited Long Island. Bob visited Baltimore. We realized we were falling in love. Quite madly.
That August we sat on the old creaky swing on my front porch. Marry me, he begged, I love you and my children need a mother. I didn't know. How could I replace his wife of 27 years? I had two children of my own in Baltimore. They had the good sense to be grown and not need a mother. Bob offered me a deal: come live with me (on Long Island) and be my love (help raise the kids), then we'll move to Baltimore and grow old together.
My mother adored Bob. She said we were "beschert" (Yiddish for kismet). That did it. I was lonely, sick of my job, and longed for someone to spend the rest of my life with. It didn't matter that he came encumbered.
We married the following February. It was the coldest day of the year (I wore long johns under my wedding dress). Fourteen of us squeezed into a judge's den; Bob and I said I do. We learned later that the judge had been de-benched for "impropriety" but still did weddings ($75 –cash only!) – we assumed our marriage was legal.
Myra stayed with the kids while we took off for a weekend honeymoon at an old country inn. Turned out the water pipes had burst and our wing was closed. We found a motel. We drank lots of Remy Martin and, giggling like teenagers, fell asleep in our clothes. Next morning I awoke with the flu. Bob brought me saltines and ginger ale from the 7-Eleven. He held me when I threw up.
The first four months of married life we co-existed with contractors from Baltimore, who slept in the basement. The kitchen was gutted; all seven of us ate pepperoni pizza in the living room – on the dining room table jammed between two sofas and the refrigerator. Bob and I crept upstairs and made cautious love on our nuptial bed strewn with cardigans and suit jackets (closets emptied for the installation of AC ducts), while outside our door kids were shouting, hammers pounding, plaster dust swirling. We played Symphonie Fantastique at top volume to drown out the clamor.
What on earth had I gotten myself into? I had dreamt of a grand "blended" family (though the term reminded me of fruit smoothies) munching bagels on Sunday morning. We munched plenty of bagels. There the dream ended.
Your turn to do the dishes!
NOW, they're overflowing the sink!
F**k you, you're not my mother!
One morning my new bath towel disappeared. I stomped down to the basement and counted 23 dirty towels on the floor (I didn't know we owned 23 towels). Mine, the persimmon red one, lay crumpled in the kids' bathroom.
Some time later the boys and I were in the kitchen arguing about who had left the front door unlocked. Lying bitch! one yelled; he picked up a steak knife and hurled it at my head. I screamed; I ducked (it missed).
I had to cut the kids some slack — they'd lost their mother. But I had no idea how to be a stepmom – was it unreasonable to insist they vacuum their rooms every week? No doubt they found me picky and intrusive. We went from hugs to tantrums. I joined a gym and sweated out my frustrations. I found a good therapist. I smoked pot and ate chocolate. Bob and I fought, made up and made passionate love. You'll always be my best friend, he said.
Our wedding rings are inscribed with Browning's lines, "Grow old along with me/ the best is yet to be." I waited for the best to arrive.
The years passed; the kids grew; Bob and I stopped trying so hard. I wish I could capture a dramatic turning point, but it didn't happen that way; we just gradually became a family. I recall an April Fool's Day when Anna and I put salt in the sugar bowl — we high-fived as the others gagged over their cereal. The boys ribbed me about my shift in allegiance from the Orioles to the Yankees. One by one they got their drivers' licenses and no longer needed me to crate them around. Mother's Day cards appeared. They started calling my son and daughter step-siblings. They graduated from high school and college. They went to grad school and got jobs. They moved out.
Meanwhile, I carved a virtual rut in Rt. 95 by driving back and forth to visit my family in Baltimore. I was weary of Long Island, where everyone drove instead of walking (our neighborhood had no sidewalks); I was anxious for Bob to fulfill his part of the bargain. But his elderly parents lived nearby, and we cared for them until they passed away several years later.
Today, though somewhat overdue (Bob's youngest is 29), we're finally settled in Baltimore. We have a wonderful old house with a leaky roof, sloping floors and clanking radiators; five bedrooms mean there's room for everyone to visit without strangling each other. Bob and I walk to the library, the post office and a couple of Starbucks. We've come full circle by reconnecting with my ex-husband; Danny and I are better friends than spouses. Last Christmas the whole crew – kids, in-laws, and siblings (blended to a fault) – squeezed into Danny's dining room for a holiday meal which ingeniously bypassed gluten allergies, cholesterol concerns, lactose intolerance, and various degrees of vegetarianism.
I think Mannie would have smiled.

FamilyStrokes Review
familystrokes.comAudio Review
FamilyStrokes Preview
One of the higher rated taboo role-play family porn sites; Family Strokes has gotten a lot of attention from porn enthusiasts that love old and young porn, daddy/daughter porn, mom/son porn, step sibling porn, and many other types of role-play that fit that theme. The website has not been around drastically long in comparison to many other sites and only has just over 150 HD movies for fans to enjoy. Let's get more into the juicy details behind Family Strokes.
FamilyStrokes Review
People are always saying that there are different strokes for different folks. The strokes here are FamilyStrokes, and for people who are into family roleplay porn, there is a lot here to keep them occupied. What I like about this site is that even though there are not too many porn movies here, I want to keep watching the ones I see over and over again. We all have our favorite pornstars, and a few of mine are Piper Perri, Kenzie Reeves, and Cadey Mercury. All three of these gorgeous porn babes are here, and many other top porn actresses are featured as well. The video count is small, but the quality is high.
Since this is a newer site, the quality of the videos is high, with all of the taboo family porn movies roleplayed here being in full HD. The website stays true to the step-family theme and features all the combinations. This includes thing like sexy sleepovers, stepmoms lusting after their stepson's cock, strap-on sex with a stepmom and stepdaughter, and more. It is all roleplayed here.
Download in Full HD for Your Permanent Erection Collection
The scenes that are here are available for download in full HD, and you can stream the movies as well. Also, the film comes with vid caps and photo sets. The high-resolution images are downloadable as zip files. This can help make downloading quicker and easier.
Perhaps one of the best things about this site, outside of the amazing production value and choice of top porn starlets, is that it is still updating weekly. Of course, another fantastic bonus about this site is that with Mr. Porn Geek, you can get an incredible rate and enjoy perving these great films at a low price.
FamilyStrokes Bonus Content
This is a website that knows what it wants to do and does it well. There are no bonus memberships that are included with this website, which means you will need to purchase an upgraded membership to get more content. Maybe someday they will offer additional bonus sites, but for now what you will find on the website are links to live feeds, discounts to other sites, and personals.
FamilyStrokes Discounts
It's no fun that there are no bonus sites included with Family Strokes, but we are following that bit of sad news up with some excellent news. Going from Mr. Porn Geek to Family Strokes and getting a membership means that you will get the best deal. You will also be supporting yours truly, which helps me be able to review more porn sites and work less other places. The more porn time I get, the better it is for you, and me too 😉
The Best of FamilyStrokes
Family Strokes does have a lot going for it. A new role-play family porn film is being added each week, as is a high-resolution photo set. The discount was already mentioned above, but definitely take advantage of getting the best rates on porn websites here at Mr. Porn Geek, including on FamilyStrokes.
The high-quality full HD movies that are available on Family Strokes are works of art. The file type is MP4, and the bit rate is 12,000k. This is a good-sized high-quality connection for the taboo niche that is featured. There are not many places that you can find quality family fetish porn roleplayed so well and filmed by camera people that truly know how to make porn that is this beautiful.
What If I'm New To Family Porn?
I even know people that are not into the illegitimate relationship porn movie genre that love the movies here, because they like the stars and the passion behind it all. Fans of kink, rough sex, soft sex, conflict roleplay, and power exchange will also love these movies. There is a lot of depth in what they offer here.
FamilyStrokes has put together a ton of unique roleplay scenarios too. They all end in the hottest incredible sex, but this is not the cookie cutter porn scenes that some sites have. With the way the girls and guys get into it, I suspect they even have a say in the sort of scene they are going to do for the shoot. These people are passionate and put on some of the best porn performances I have seen. I'll admit I love a lot the stars on this site; I know you will too.
The Worst of FamilyStrokes
This is one or the sites I have a membership to. Yea, I have a membership to a number of others, I love porn, but it means a lot to me to invest my hard earned dollars. College isn't cheap. I get the value back through lower stress levels though. Either way, the negatives are pretty easy for me to overlook, mostly because they aren't that big of a thing. You come. You cum. You leave. Sometimes you take your sweet time.
The first negative is that there are no bonus sites. That one is fine because of that awesome porn deal I got you. The second negative isn't a big deal now, but eventually they are going to need to fix it. There are no tags, no search options, and no categories. Like I said, right now there are only just over 150 movies so finding things is really easy. As the site gets bigger, I am sure they will add a search engine. Have a little faith.
Regardless. The website puts out high enough quality that even without a search engine I would happily go to find my favorite porn stars giving some of their best porn shows. I'll keep bookmarking in the web browser baby. Maybe someday I will show you what I have bookmarked in there, but not today, ha.
The Bottom Line about FamilyStrokes
I would recommend taking a look at this site unless you have an issue with the roleplay subject matter. I assume since you have read this far into the review that you are interested, or at least curious. The women on this site are hot, whether barely legal teens or MILFs, and the sex is sizzling. The quality of movies and the production value are both high. It doesn't get better than Family Strokes for stepfamily porn fans. Even without bonus content, I say go for it. I did, and I am very pleased. Very.

A Tale of Life
Not everyone sees that light at the end of the tunnel. Not so many also see the silver lining in that cloud. But minority see all these and strive to succeed while majority lean back and give us a thousand and one ways to survive as a mediocre. That's really sad. Oh, wait, there's another set- those who do nothing but pray about their situation. Life? I described it as a movie we direct based on the decisions we make (this was over 2 years ago). But I've realized our decisions may not be the only thing directing our lives. Life isn't a game, trust me. Rather it's an action movie which doesn't overlook the importance of praying, planning, adapting to survive and of course ACTING.
Too many keys to life? Don't worry this movie ends someday but for now we need to learn to do all that if we want to play our role perfectly. Anyway, none should be neglected.
If I decide to join the league of mediocres, this is what my story would sound like- This young man wakes up with negative vibes accompanied with a frown on his face, frustration in his heart and bitterness in his soul. He heaves a sigh but not of relief and drops a remark that it's gonna be another bad day. Truly, everyday never disappoints as it only gets worse; I'll be loosing.
If I decide to do nothing else but pray that would actually still be a sad story. Prayer is essential and key but without work, it is quite useless (Saint James in the Bible understood this). This is the concept most Christians ignore and they pay for it.
I guess we are left with the first option which involves praying, planning, adapting to survive and acting. How many times has life knocked you down? Does that matter? Does it mean you quit? Hell, no! It's a very hard choice we have to make but we must persevere. Some of your mates are earning over a million while you're earning 50k, so what? Some of your mates don't have a job at all. Worse, some of your mates didn't even see today. We need to understand that life is a personal race and we have our times. She got married before you, does that mean you won't get married or does it mean your marriage won't last when it happens? Keep calm dear reader and don't try leaving your life based on another persons TIME ZONE if not nothing would seem right.
Do you agree with me? Or do you have something to say? Feel free as the comment box below is always open to thoughts. Let's learn more.
Sharing is caring- the social media buttons are active as well. Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing.

PATERSON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Many people are still trying to wrap their heads around the new tax overhaul plan.
But as CBS News' Meg Oliver reported Thursday, some charities have big concerns and are worried they will end up losing small donors.
The Catholic Charities Food Pantry in Paterson, New Jersey lost everything in a fire just before the holidays. But they bounced back as people rushed to replenish their supplies.
"Within a week, we had donations from the community — more than we could hold, really. We had to get a storage container," said Chris Barton of Catholic Charities.
She said the donations came from small donors, which are Catholic Charities' bread and butter.
But now, Barton is concerned that restocking will not be as easy anymore because of the new tax law.
Millions of Americans are expected to take advantage of the new standard deduction that has been doubled – meaning fewer people will itemize their deductions.
Barton is worried that many Americans will not donate, because they will no longer benefit from the charitable tax break. She said there is no backup plan.
"Everything we do relies on those donors," Barton said.
They are not alone. Charities such as the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and United Way all depend on small contributions. The United Way expects to lose up to $450 million a year under the new plan.
But Mark Steber, chief tax officer for Jackson Hewitt, said he does not think there will be fewer people giving to charities.
"I would tell you just the opposite," Steber said.
Steber recalls when the charitable deduction was scrapped in the 1980s.
"I would tell them to look at the 1985 tax law that took away — took away — the ability to deduct it on your tax return, and donations went up with that group," he said.
As to whether she was worried about the future with the new tax plan, Barton sighed and said, "I think it remains to be seen."
Barton is hoping people will continue to give – not for a tax break, but for the good of humanity.
One tax expert advises those who would like to get the deduction for their own donation to donate in advance for 2018 during the next three days. Those who give can then deduct it on their 2017 returns.
Anyone giving to charity is also reminded to let their nonprofit or religious institution know this will be their contribution for next year.

I don't know how to wire switching signals for approaching trains. I also don't know how to wire signals for right of way trains and level crossings.
If any one could help me that would be great. Thanks.
first off, to the forums!
You've just opened a can of worms for yourself with the signalling - there's probably just as many ways to do it as there are members on the forums (ok, well maybe not THAT many, but you get the idea).
Since you haven't stated whether or not you're using DC or DCC, I'll fill you in with the best I know about both systems... I will also assume that you are using 2-rail trains (as opposed to the O scale/tinplate 3-rail trains, a la Lionel)
In order for others to help you better, it is usually a good idea to specify the control system you're using (DC or DCC) as well as scale. Although I will admit that scale is somewhat irrevelant in this situation.
Now, I'm not too familiar with the DC way of doing detection (if there is one anyway), but I think a lot of model RR's with "working" signals have one (or more) guys working a CTC board, and watching teh trains to determine block occupancy. If that's not the case, then the signals would be controlled as the blocks are switched to a certain engineer's controller number (say engineer 2 is following engineer 4 -- engineer 2 will have red signals until the blocks are switched over to his control). IMO, DC wiring for more than two cabs (controllers) is a pain, and well beyond my understanding. Note - I never wired for more than two cabs, so there are gaps in my knowledge here; though I have seen the insides of control panels with DC block wiring... save for the really well thought out ones, they look like a rats nest...
Turnouts are a little easier in DC - a relay connected to the switch machine that will turn on/off LEDS or lamps (standard light bulbs) as the machine flips the turnout to the straight-through or diverging route (or using the contacts on a switch machine, like the Tortoise).
In DCC, things are (somewhat) easier, as there are tools that allow you to "see" where a train is on the layout, and whether or not a block is actually occupied. This is done in a number of ways, though the one that I have most often heard of (and has been featured in Model Railroader) involves bridging the rails and completing the circuit for electricity in that particular block. locomotives already do this, as do lighted cars;however you would have to install a pair of resistor wheels (2 wheels and an axle) into a freight car so that the system can "see" it - otherwise the system will green light a block as soon as the locomotives leave it regardless fo the fact that there are still 20 boxcars in the block. After you have the detection hardware installed, I believe that you have two options - either connect a computer to your DCC system and have some software installed to run the signals, OR you can connect the detection hardware directly to the signal controllers themselves (although I may be confusing this with another system altogether).
I hope this helps out a little bit. There will be more knowledgable guys showing up pretty soon who can probably answer things better than I have.
Builder of Bowser steam! Railimages Site
One of the things that you need to do is define what type of signal system you want. By that I mean, do you want the signals to change aspects (colors) to protect the train that is in a block, or signals to tell you if a route is set correctly for a train, or grade crossing signals. Or all of them. Signaling can get expensive if you want all the bells and whistles. A system that will do everything will need block detection, turnout direction sensing, and some form of logic control (computer and program) to take the inputs from detection and sensing and turn that into signal aspects for all of the signals.
There are systems on the market that are basic and then there are those that are more structured for large layouts. So layout size also has a piece in the puzzel.
So, the things we need to know are: 1)The scale you are modeling; 2)The size of your layout; 3)What you want your signal system to do; and 4)how much time, effort, and cost are you willing to put into the project.
The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.
It's for DC Trains. I also need to know how to wire signals to keep collisions from happening.
I need the color aspect, grade crossing, and the train route signal.
It's and HO Layout
It's in a small corner, maybe about 4-5 ft wide and about 41/2-5 ft long.
I'm willing to pay no mare than $50. I want the signal system to do is, tell when trains are approaching other trains and stations and when it's going to cross a road. I'm willing to spend maybe a few days on the signals.

MK Dons return to action this evening when they take on Blue Square North outfit Brackley Town at St. James' Park.
Karl Robinson's side, fresh from their double-header against Newport Pagnell Town and Leighton Town on Saturday, will visit the home of the non-League Saints for their sixth friendly in just eight days. The Dons are unbeaten so far this summer having won four and drawn one of the five games played so far.
And with the men from MK1 now just two weeks away from their League opener against Shrewsbury Town on August 3rd, Robinson told MK Dons Player that he'll be using these next few games to work out his strongest starting XI and trial new ideas.
Speaking ahead of the match, he said: "We're getting closer to our strongest team. I'll be looking for some positional stuff and set-pieces will now be a integrated into the games a bit more.
"We'll also be looking at different patterns of play. They'll be a big focus this year on what we do without the ball; how high we win the ball back, how high we press and the energy levels in the group. We now have more younger players in the group so the energy levels will be higher than what they were last year.
"We're going to be a little bit more calculated and careful heading into the game, it won't just be a case of picking a team and going to play. They'll be more tactical stuff in training and hopefully that'll see for a better game."
The Dons are expected to field a strong side, with all available first team players set to make the trip to Oxfordshire.
Robinson, though, will have to monitor the conditions of duo Patrick Bamford and David Martin, both of whom picked up knocks last week. Bamford (ankle) and Martin (thigh) could join winger Dean Bowditch (groin) in missing out tonight.
Brackley Town, who missed out on promotion to the Blue Square Premier in 2012/13 via the play-offs, have yet to play a game so far this pre-season although the Saints will be looking to get off to a perfect start as they try and go one step further next year.
Tickets for this game will be available on the gate at St. James' Park for the following prices:
Adults: £5
Concessions: £3
Under-16s: Free
Tickets are cash only and are only available to buy on the night at Brackley Town.
Brackley Town address: St James Park, Churchill Way, Brackley, Northants, NN13 7EJ
- with a full match report available to view on mkdons.com following the final whistle.@MKDonsFCMK Dons will provide live updates from the game via the Club's official Twitter page -

As a Christian, you hold certain values close to your heart. Christian drug rehab will allow you to embrace strategies for recovery that also embrace your Christian beliefs.
Alcohol Awareness Month: The Silent Struggle Of Christians And Alcoholism
Christian and alcoholic? Is this possible? The Bible is clear that drunkenness is a sin and that overconsumption of alcohol can lead the faithful astray. God has declared we should have no gods or idols before Him, and we know we are called to live a life of holiness. So how is it that so many believers are also addicts? How is the Christian's experience of alcoholism unique?
Christians And Alcoholism – A Silent Struggle
Many will never see the issue of alcohol abuse discussed in their churches because the particular church or denomination takes a hardline, prohibitive stance on the consumption of alcohol. If alcohol isn't allowed, then no alcoholism, right? Members of the congregation may go along with this injunction outwardly, though questioning if the Bible really prohibits drinking of all kinds. Many will continue to drink moderately at home or with non-Christian friends.
The Challenges Of Christians And Alcohol Addiction
Others will not be able to maintain the Biblical call to moderation and will fall into the trap of addiction. If their church is conservative on the issue of alcohol, they will be unable to get the help and spiritual care they need. They will fear having to confess to having a problem with something they weren't supposed to touch in the first place.
The church's failure to address the issue candidly means believers who struggle with alcohol addiction will often do so in silence, feeling isolated not only from God's people, but from God Himself. They will feel the dissonance between the people they are and the people they pretend to be every Sunday morning.
Sin vs. Sickness
Another challenge for the Christian struggling with alcoholism or another addiction is the doctrinal view that addiction is a sin, a moral failing or a lack of self-control rather than an illness. This then places the addict in the position of simply needing to repent, pray harder, read the Bible more, practice greater self-control or conjure up a little more willpower — which, of course, the addict will attempt to do. And these attempts will fail, the addiction will progress and the believer will be left feeling hopeless and defeated.
It's no different from telling a cancer patient that if he or she would only pray more and exert some willpower, he or she would be healed. Yes, sin is present in addiction, but treating the issue as simply a matter of sin and moral failing doesn't take into account that the addict is suffering from a mental illness and is in need of help. God is the one who ultimately does the healing, but the Christian alcoholic will need help specifically oriented toward recovery from addiction.
Fear Of Consequences
Many believers, especially those in ministry or positions of church leadership, are especially fearful of confessing their struggles with addiction. While admitting one's alcoholism isn't easy or convenient in any profession, again, within the Christian world, alcoholism is viewed more as a moral failing than an illness.
Because church leaders are expected to uphold the highest moral standards, their illness can disqualify them from their vocation, even permanently. This pervasive misunderstanding around the causes and basis of addiction can, in the end, perpetuate the silence around addiction, not to mention the grave suffering of believers and their families.
What People Need To Do To Recover From Alcoholism
While God provides everything we need for healing and holiness, we have to acknowledge that He doesn't always provide it right within the walls of the church. Many churches are models for how Christians can embrace addicts who struggle, having a solid understanding of addiction and abundant grace for those who are caught in this trap and trying to get out. Many also have programs, support groups and counselors to help addicts, or invite recovery groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Celebrate Recovery, to use their spaces.
However, it may also be necessary to go outside of the church to find the needed recovery resources. This doesn't mean we are leaving Jesus out of the equation — Christ is still at the center of recovery. But addicts will also need the guidance and support of other sober and recovering individuals — those who have walked a similar path.
If you're a Christian who struggles with problem drinking or alcoholism, there's help for you. Christian rehab can orient you toward God and His healing power over your addiction. Despite the position of your church on alcohol, there's grace and healing for you in Jesus Christ. You, too, can live free of the bondage of addiction.
If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. — John 8:36

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he'll begin to roll out details of the new COVID-19 relief package to senators as soon as next week and suggested it will include new funding for school reopenings, some unemployment benefits and money for health care providers.
Expected to hit $1 trillion, the emerging Republican package shows shifting priorities as the pandemic crisis deepens nationwide. Once reluctant to approve more aid, Republicans and the White House now say more is needed.
In recent days, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has been reaching out to GOP senators ahead of negotiations with Democrats, who already approved a $3 trillion House bill.
Here's an update on all developments. Scroll or swipe further for in-depth coverage.

Call for volunteers - Be the best, be EVS (10 months)
CALL FOR EVS at ZAVOD NEFIKS 2017/2018
Project "Be the best, be EVS" (BeEVS)
About the organisation
Zavod Nefiks is a youth NGO based in Ljubljana, implementing activities throughout Slovenia.
Our main target group are young people aged 15 to 30 who need support with their career development (mostly high school and university students and young unemployed).
Most of the employees and volunteers at Zavod Nefiks are young people (under 30 years old).
The purpose of Zavod Nefiks is to assist young people and youth organizations with recording, presentation and promotion of skills and competences acquired through non-formal education. The organisation is committed to the implementation of career guidance for young people through most of its activities.
In order to achieve its aims and objectives Zavod Nefiks carries out various activities (to promote non-formal education) and organizes educational events (courses, seminars and workshops) in order to raise skills and promote employability and entrepreneurship among young people.
Some of these activities/projects are:
- Career clubs (workshops for high school students on career orientation and skills development led by trained peer counsellors; the clubs are being held in schools and youth centres all around Slovenia)
- Colleagues (project aimed at young unemployed women where each individual has an opportunity to meet and connect with a successful woman. She becomes her mentor – her colleague. The two meet on a regular basis and discuss the possibilities and appropriate approaches for reaching a career goal.),
- Employment Clubs for youth (groups of first-job-seekers that are looking for job opportunities; they have meetings on weekly basis, organize events and make career plans; the main goal of the activities is that participants find jobs.),
- International youth projects in the framework of Erasmus + and similar programmes (youth exchanges, training courses for youth leaders, strategic partnerships... aimed at improving the level of key competences and fostering active citizenship among youth),
- Language clubs (English, Spanish, Italian and other language clubs, where participants improve their language skills through conversation),
- Web portal www.talentiran.si (We keep track of all information regarding employment literacy in one place.) and many other activities.
Why EVS?
We feel that EVS can be a great way to increase the employability of young people and make them more aware of the European reality in which we now live. That is why we want to host a volunteer also in our organisation. We are also sure that hosting volunteers will bring new knowledge and ideas to our own organisation and that we can offer a lot to them as well.
Tasks of the EVS volunteer
The role of the EVS volunteers in our organisation will be to help us promote EVS among young people and serve as a living example and role model to those who still need a bit of encouragement to take on this challenge.
Also the volunteer will have the possibility to get involved in as many of the above mentioned projects as he/she will be interested in and help us implement the day to day activities (organise career and employment clubs, prepare different workshops, promote activities, provide information to participants, work on international projects etc.).
As we think that EVS should also be a learning opportunity for the volunteer we will also support the initiatives brought forward by the volunteers themselves and help them carry out their own project idea. Together with the volunteer we will design the project according to the volunteer's ideas and expectations.
The volunteers will work together with the staff and local volunteers in our office in Ljubljana and in the field (at events and visiting all our career/employment clubs and other activities that we run in different towns all over Slovenia).
As a volunteer in Zavod Nefiks your tasks will include:
- workshops for unemployed young people and students
- career orientation activities for young people (leading a career club for high school students together with a local volunteer)
- workshops on how to create a digital CV (infographics, videos etc.)
- promoting Erasmus + opportunities among young people
- promoting non-formal education among young people (helping with workshops, informing people at different events)
- leading a Spanish language club or another language club for young people (non-formal learning)
- help with creating promotional materials for activities (posters, leaflets)
- writing short articles for our website. Facebook and other social media
- writing a blog or making a video blog about your own EVS experience
- help with organising different events and projects
- developing and working on your own project
- attending weekly team meetings
All volunteers must attend the on-arrival and mid-term trainings organised by the slovenian National agency for Erasmus +. This trainings will happen in the first weeks of your projects and in the middle of the project. There you will meet other EVS volunteers that will be in Slovenia at the same time.
Weekly schedule of the volunteer
The volunteer will work approximately 35 hours per week (usually from Monday to Friday) and have 2 days free. Each month the volunteer will have 2 extra free days (vacation days).
The exact schedule will depend on the activities in which the volunteer will take part and will be determined by the volunteer and his/her coordinator at the beginning of the project. The schedule might change during the project. The volunteer will usually work from 9h or 10h in the morning until 17h or 18h with a lunch break in between (also depending on the activities of the day).
Here is a draft schedule for a "typical" week:
Part of the volunteers weekly activities will also be attending a slovenian language course (individual classes) and meeting with the mentor.
Food, travel, accommodation & pocket money
The volunteer will live in a shared apartment with other volunteers/students. He/she will have a private room. The apartment will be equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and all basic living necessities.
The volunteer will receive a monthly food allowance (approx. 150€) and pocket money (approx. 90€) according to the financial rules of the Erasmus + programme guide.
The programme covers also the travel costs from Spain to Slovenia and return (up to 275€ in total) and a medical insurance for the duration of the project.
If the apartment will be more than 2 km away from the office, the volunteer will receive also a bus card.
The organisation will also cover all travel expenses in Slovenia that will be related to the project activities.
Duration and start of the project
We are looking for a volunteer for 10 months. The project will start on the 1st of October 2017 and last until 31st of July 2018. The project funding was already approved by the Slovenian NA so the project will definitely happen.
Sending organisation
The sending organisation in this project is Iniciativa Internacional Joven from Malaga (Spain). They will provide the volunteer with a pre-departure training and give support during and after the project.
Application process
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at Zavod Nefiks, working on and learning about the career development projects for youth, please send us your CV with relevant experience and motivation letter (Why do you want to become a volunteer in our organisation?).
We are expecting your applications until 5th of August 2017 at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Then we will read carefully your motivational letters and make a short list of candidates.
Before making the final decision we will have skype interviews with the selected candidates.
The skype interviews will be between 14th and 17th of August (if you are selected for the interviews we will send you an email a few days before to agree on a specific time).
European Voluntary Service is part of the European Union's Erasmus+ programme.

**UPDATE** Hey hey hey! Tomorrow's the big day. There is an outlet mall near the Faire that we could meet and park at if anybody feels like carpooling to the event. The Faire opens at 10 and closes at 7. Email me at becqui926 at yahoo dot com and I can give you my phone number. I'm so excited to see everyone!
Hello, cool cats and charm kittens of the Midwest! Are you ready for some fun?
HoneyHeart and I have our tickets for July 11 (yes, HoneyHeart, I got them!), and we're thinking those of us who are going should rendezvous at a local motel in Kenosha, then we can either carpool or caravan it to the Ren Faire.
HoneySmacks will be there with her family, and LemonadeLover was planning to go. Anybody else a firm yes or a strongly impressionable maybe?
Let's get this weekend ON!

made him "very aware" of the spectre of death.
Miranda, 39, said his friend accidentally drowned, which made him "aware of the ticking clock earlier".
He added: "And I think I am drawn to characters who are very aware of it."
Miranda shot to fame in 2015 when Hamilton became a Broadway smash. The show uses hip-hop to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the United States, who died in a duel in 1804.
The character raps in the show: "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory/When is it gonna get me?"
Desert Island Discs host Lauren Laverne asked whether his idols - such as Hamilton, Rent writer Jonathan Larson, who died at the age of 35, and late Cabaret choreographer and director Bob Fosse - were connected because their stories all contain "the ticking clock".
'Six months of grey'
Miranda replied: "I think you're marked by your awareness of it and how much you let it affect your day-to-day.
"Part of it is growing up in New York. You're kind of always a little on alert. And I also experienced death at a young age."
Speaking about the death of his kindergarten friend, he said: "It's one of those terrible stories where each of the parents thought she was with someone else, and she drowned in the lake behind their home.
"I have this memory of nursery school of just six months of grey - of my friend, who used to go to this class, didn't go any more. And I remember the morning my mother told me. When that hits you early, you're aware of the ticking clock earlier."
Miranda's career has also included roles in Mary Poppins Returns and the forthcoming BBC adaptation of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. He is also currently making a film version of his first Broadway musical, In The Heights.

How I Work: An Interview with Dina Vekaria from PearsonPosted by Emilie in Blogs on Aug 4, 2016 6:02:32 AM
It's that time again: time to turn the spotlight on another Jive Community member in the How I Work blog series. This one features someone I lovingly refer to as the poster-child for JiveWorld16: Dina Vekaria-Patel . You may recall Dina when she dropped the mic on all other #JW16 social media activity with this now-infamous dubsmash, winning Most Valuable Tweet of JiveWorld.
But despite her JiveWorld fame, Dina still has time for the common folk like me. So I managed to sit down with her to learn more about how she works. Here's what she had to share, in words, gifs, and videos:
Emilie Kopp: First off, let's tell everyone where you work.
Dina Vekaria: I work in the London headquarter offices of Pearson, a company dedicated to to helping people improve their lives through learning.
EK: How would you describe your current job?
DV: It's fun, creative and hard work, but I love it. This is how creative I can get:
EK: So how do you use Jive at Pearson?
DV: Jive is how how we communicate with each other as employees. It's how we network with each other.
It's how our senior leaders can communicate relevant messages either locally or globally. It's how we can have our water-cooler moments between the UK and Brazil, the U.S. and Australia, Spain and South Africa.
EK: Wow, I really love that last bit. It really captures what an employee community is all about.
OK, so switching gears: What's your computer situation when you work? Mac vs PC?
DV: Mac of course. In fact, my house is an Apple lover's dream! iPods, iPads, Macbooks, Apple TV, Apple watches, galore!
EK: So I'm assuming your mobile situation as dominated by Apple products as well?
DV: Yes. iPhone and iPad. I tried getting into Android, but I kept coming back to Apple.
EK: Besides Jive, what are the apps/tools you can't live without?
DV: Starbucks (keeping my priorities clear here), Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Pinterest and of course, all my social apps. I love to share! Follow me on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat: @dinavekaria.
EK: How do you stay organized?
DV: Spreadsheets galore! My teammates will confirm this obsession. I have a spreadsheet for everything, all our project plans, upgrades and updates on Jive. I even go as far as having one for my banking, food tracking and shopping lists for when I'm in the U.S. I love a good formula.
EK: What do you listen to while you work?
DV: Music is life to me. I listen to music all day, everyday. I have a very eclectic taste in music, it ranges from R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, House, Dance. Right now, whilst I'm writing this response, Spotify is playing The Weeknd "Can't Feel My Face". This song reminds me of JW16, when Maren Beckman and I went crazy at Drais for this song.
EK: What's your best time saving trick?
DV: If you can get it, more screens. I'm so much more efficient when I have three separate screens. I plan everything in my calendar by the hour. Ticking things off my to-do list is the only way I can work. I have mild OCD with certain things.
EK: How do you balance work and life?
DV: This used to be a weakness of mine, but I'm working on it. I'm a workaholic and I live for the work. It's taken me a while to understand it's okay to have both. I now make a conscience effort to take time to do what I love in my work day, which is to go to the gym and grab an iced tea on my way home. Thank you, Starbucks, for introducing iced tea to the UK.
EK: If you had to pick one work that best describes how you work, what would it be?
EK: What's your sleep routine like?
DV: Unfortunately very poor as I suffer from insomnia. If I'm lucky, I can get 5hrs of sleep a night.
EK: Are you more of an introvert, ambivert or extrovert?
DV: A mahoosive extrovert! Could you not tell?
EK: What's the best advice you've ever received (and from whom)?
DV: "Dina, you can't do everything in one day, so get your *** home and spend time with your family. All of this work will be here in the morning ready and waiting." - Maren Beckman
Thanks for sharing, Dina. It's always a pleasure and I hope to see you at JiveWorld next year and years to come.
And to the rest of the Jive Community: please help me applaud our wonderful Jive fan-girl in the comments below!

The first thing we observe about Scott Blackwood's novel, We Agreed to Meet Just Here, is its small size—roughly 150 pages, when we take into account blank pages and where the first chapter begins. Once we crack its spine and get to reading, we see that the chapters act as little vignettes, each spanning only a few pages, and that they alternate between the characters' points-of-view. Interspersed, we find italicized chapters told in first-person plural, revealing one of the book's central themes: community response—emotionally and physically—to tragic accidents.
Blackwood's debut novel takes place in suburban Austin, where the residents encounter a chain reaction of mysterious incidents. Dennis Lipsy, a thirty-eight year old lawyer, has become attracted to his teenage neighbor, Natalie, and has gone as far as making advances toward her. His wife is unable to get a hold of him when their son, Isaac, falls from a tree and breaks his arm. That's because Dennis has followed Natalie to the theater downtown, where she's taking in a movie alone. His wife, Winnie, doesn't believe him when he says he was with a client at the time of their son's accident. She goes as far as to contact his clients in order to check up on the stories he tells her. When Natalie goes missing, the tension level causes us to grip this book tighter and turn the pages quicker.
We know where Natalie is, of course; we're told in the first section. The night she goes missing, P.G. McWhirter steals the Lipsy's Chevy Blazer, because that's what he does: he steals the vehicles for money, then they're transported over the border where they can blend in. En route to the drop-off, he's distracted by a toothache and loses control of the Blazer, causing the tires to slide right into Natalie, who was walking along the shoulder of the road.
Later, he would remember the girl looking back over her shoulder at him, smiling, a funky wide-brimmed hat tilted on her head. We agreed to meet just here, she seemed to say. But it would be the photo from the TV news he was actually remembering.
Though we know what happened to Natalie, the book still has the feel of a mystery novel, likely because the other characters are concerned with finding out where Natalie has gone, and eventually, figuring out what happened to her. But seeing the residents of Deep Eddy solve these mysteries isn't what keeps us reading; we continue turning the page to find out how Dennis and P.G. react to what has happened. Dennis's lies cause strain on his relationship with Isaac and Winnie, and Natalie's disappearance doesn't curb his infatuation for her; P.G.'s guilt throbs in his aching tooth, as he worries over the consequences of his accident and what might happen to his wife and baby. Blackwood masterfully utilizes dramatic irony to heighten tension in these situations.
There's also the case of Odie Dodd—the retired physician, stricken with cancer, whose wife, Ruth, can't find him. He's wandered off, and the community assumes it's the result of an argument over whether or not he should continue chemotherapy. We see Odie throughout the book, though. He's hanging out with Jim Jones, leader of the Peoples Temple, a man who had asked Odie to vaccinate children in Jonestown—"the axis around which his life winds," according to Ruth.
We're not sure if it's trauma brought on by cancer or having known Jim Jones that causes Odie to walk and talk with this dead cult leader. But Odie can't go home until he achieves peace with himself. Does he blame himself for not being able to stop the massacre? Or is he angered that he was almost a part of it—ody, being a suffix for the Heaven's Gate followers. "Words fail," Jones simply explains, and we can't help but wonder how things may have changed had Odie understood what Jones wanted from him prior to the mass suicide. And how would the present be different had Dennis not neglected his son, P.G. chose not to steal the Lipsy's car, or Winnie decided against giving up her first-born? The collective narrator asks:
What if all our involuntary gestures were photographed and then laid side by side? Would they tell our alternative histories? Reveal thoughts that did not quite become acts but instead worked away secret and silent inside us?
While we ponder these questions, we'll examine the family dynamic—what's known and kept secret—and how it relates to community in this story. We won't be able to ignore how a close-knit neighborhood can feel suffocating and even cultish. But not everything's bleak in this novel. We're entranced by the poetry in Blackwood's lines, which dances off the tongue when read aloud. We root for the possibility of redemption and become mesmerized by the supernatural. Hope sweeps over us at those times when the characters' narratives come together, showing us how they're connected, and making us believe that while tragedy happens, we can still show compassion toward those who have made mistakes.

Pekan Kebudayaan Nasional 2019 was officially opened on Monday night (7/10) by Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko. This event will be held until Sunday, 13 October 2019 at Istora Senayan in Central Jakarta, with the theme of Ruang Bersama Indonesia Bahagia.
According to Minister of Education and Culture Muhadjir Effendy, the National Culture Week (PKN) plays an important role in maintaining an inclusive spirit and diversity. The PKN has a role as a cultural network and platform where all actors and stakeholders can be involved in efforts to advance Indonesian culture.
"Built in stages from the Regional Cultural Week in each district / city and province, the National Cultural Week is the biggest cultural event that we have today," he said.
Muhadjir added, the National Culture Week will be held periodically every year. He hopes the event will become a global event, and become the biggest event every year, starting at the district / city and provincial levels.
Meanwhile, according to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Education and Culture Didik Suhardi, this activity is a paradise for travelers, both from within and outside the country. "There is a lot of food, there is also cultural preservation, all kind of positive things are here. Let's get used to it so Indonesia becomes a world tourist destination," Didik said. He hoped that this event would not only be a cultural event, but could become one of the tourist destinations in Indonesia.
This event consists of a number of main activities, including the Regional Competition, National Competition, Conference on Cultural Advancement, Cultural Exhibition, Performance of National Cultural Works, and Cultural Parades. The series of PKN events includes 10 competitions, 27 conferences, 120 shows, and 24 exhibitions. In addition, there are also seminars and communities from all over Indonesia. Overall, there are 245 performances.
Famous Indonesian musicians also livened up the event, including Danilla Riyadi, The Sigit, to the "Godfather of Broken Heart" Didi Kempot. At the peak of the 2019 National Culture Week, a cultural march will be held involving 3,500 participants from 26 provinces. Reportedly, on this occasion President of Indonesia Joko Widodo will come.
If you are interested to come, make sure to register first through pkn.kebultural.id or directly at Istora Senayan. Don't worry, the registration is free!

On Saturday, Isaiah spent some time with his Grandmom Anna. But not before we tortured him with a bath and tube change.
Look at that face!! It's like he knows what's coming.
It wasn't time to change his feeding tube, but we did a bad tape job the last time and when he'd cry, the feeding tube would pop up and down and it made us nervous.
It was good practice, too. For Dave. I supported everyone emotionally (cough cop out cough).
Isaiah hit 12 weeks old on Sunday. He welcomed his weekly birthday by sleeping the entire night before (even the extra hour!)
Then I even got brave enough to try long sleeves/pants! I was afraid of having to manipulate his arms and legs into those sleeves/pant legs, but at the same time I hated the thought of him not being dressed properly for colder weather. It was such a catch 22 that kept me up a few nights the past few weeks. We're so glad to be over that! (Especially Dave, he'd like some more sleep, pronto.)
Last Thursday, we met Isaiah's physical therapist. She was really happy with how Isaiah's moving his head and arms. He was totally into the toy she was showing and rubbing on him; he was grabbing at it and tracking it. (So good!) She showed me ways to help Isaiah's legs stay straight. He tends to bow them out and we don't want him to become frog-legged as that would was throw a wrench in the walking thing down the line.
Yup, this kid will be walking. I guarantee it.
She is hoping to put Isaiah completely on his side (off his back, please!) the next time she works with him. She wanted doctor clearance to do that and Dr. Bober approved of the idea. Fingers crossed that he not only tolerates it, but loves it!
Happy Monday all. I have a few posts in draft-form for you so expect to have them rolling out this week. :)

The US copper producer is discussing with the government of Indonesia what should be done with the planned smelter in the Gresik region in the province of East Java. It has been forced to delay the completion timeline of December 2023 for the plant, due both to Covid-19-related disruptions to the work and travel schedules of international contractors, and to the current limitations on access to the proposed site. The company has never made a secret of the fact that it believes the construction of a new copper smelter in Indonesia would be extremely uneconomical for the government. Freeport chief executive...

text: The Other Greg 0 Posted March 7, 2019 Hello, I am still searching for a truck for my property to haul water and dump runs local etc. Every month or so. I have run into a 1981 S1600 in acceptable "pre beater" condition that runs on propane for under $1000. I have yet to take a look as it is under snow but it has a 23,000 GVW, flat bed dump, 5-2 trans, and I think a 346 engine. The front brakes have blown a line and needs to be repaired, there is typical rust in rockers and was at one time a lumber yard delivery truck. Drivers rockers are rotten and will need replacing- any sources for these?- have MiG ready to weld. The sticky part is the propane. The tank drain is stuck- not allowing the tank to be refilled. I know nothing about propane powered vehicles and need more information here from the experts. I have read about performing a propane back to gasoline conversion. My local IH guy says "big bucks" but he always says that. I am thinking also of perhaps an injection vs carburetor upgrade? Maybe even a DT conversion- from a former school bus? I dont know. Not looking for a huge complicated and expensive project but have mechanical skill to perform intake manifold, wiring and engine swap if necessary. Opinions and information please! Many Thanks.

Dane County Board Launches Debate over Future Conservation Funding
October 11, 2010
Supervisor Bill Clausius (825-1465) Supervisor Kyle Richmond (251-3171)
County Board
The Dane County Board of Supervisors last week launched debate over one of the county's most successful yet controversial programs: The Dane County Conservation Fund, which spends up to $5 million a year to purchase and preserve land for parks, recreation, wildlife, agriculture, pollution control and tourism.
The fund, which has purchased 8,460 acres of land for $59.7 million over the last 20 years, saw its annual funding cut by 80 percent last year – and debate is already beginning on its future for next year.
In addition, the county's Parks and Open Space program, which determines which lands the Fund should purchase, is up for its five-year renewal – and debate began on that as well last week.
"The Conservation Fund is an enormous value to the county,'' says Sup. Kyle Richmond, who chairs the board's environmental and agricultural committee which held its first hearing last week on the county's conservation programs.
"Dane County grew by 60,000 residents in the last 10 years -- the equivalent of plopping two Sun Prairies into the county. With that kind of growth, we have to protect our agricultural land and our agricultural economy; We have to preserve our cultural heritage. If we don't, we'll soon become another Waukesha County. And once it's developed, we can never get this land back.'
Richmond said the committee received only positive comments during his hearing. But he said there will be strong debate among supervisors on future funding for the program in tight economic times as it's been a long-standing debate on the board and on the campaign trail.
"This is not the time to be purchasing more vacant land,'' Sup. Bill Clausius, Sun Prairie, told the Wisconsin State Journal during his election campaign this summer. "These properties can wait until the future when the economy is strong and the county is on better financial footing. If there are key, environmentally sensitive properties available, we can consider them on a case-by-case basis."
This month, County Executive Kathleen Falk proposed restoring the fund from $1 million back to $5 million per year through 2019. Richmond said some supervisors will favor cutting her request, while he'll argue it should be increased as real estate prices have dropped dramatically and there are willing sellers.
And he said he believes voters in Dane County strongly support the Conservation Fund, noting that the fund was a major issue in his re-election campaign for his district that covers northern Fitchburg and parts of the city of Madison. Yet he said he was re-elected by two thirds of the voters – and he noted the modern fund was created 10 years ago by a $30 million referendum that voters approved by a margin of three to one. "
"People support this because it's a matter of equity. Not everyone can afford to build a swimming pool or buy 40 acres of land. This is a program that purchases land so that everyone can enjoy it,'' he noted.
