Each side is quite different. Splutterings of Prince and bebop on the title cut; Africolaps nods out on traditional African percussion.
With Shackleton.
Crafted, original house by Maayan Nidam and Vera Heinde, with a dose of the Studio 54s, complete with hard-nosed, Grace-Jones sex-pol.
Essential house album — Abrahams' fifth LP — with input from Efdemin, Johannes Schon and Sud Electronic labelmate Lakuti. Warmly recommended.
Subtle deep house from the Mara Trax collaborator.
Pantytec is label boss Zip and Sammy Dee.
Quality deep house by Alan Abrahams.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Soccer was the subject of Larry's Olympics this morning.
With the big success of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team, Larry dropped by the Charlotte 49ers practice and met the women's soccer team.
He also spoke with Head Coach John Cullen about the Olympics and the fact he is a native of London. Coach Cullen talked about the great soccer program at UNCC.
They're playing their first game of the season this Saturday, an exhibition against UNC Asheville. Check out the video as Larry actually got his chance to "try-out" as a goal tender!

August 1, 2014
Because of construction on the amphitheatre downtown, Friday's After Five has moved to a temporary location on Garrett Street. However, the move isn't sitting well with some South Street area residents.
Mary Gilliam lives right across the street from the concert stage. "The decimal level is extremely high, the windows shake and rattle and roll and it's really impossible to work," she says.
Because Mary runs a business from her home, the noise can be especially distracting despite the concert ending at 8:30 p.m.
"I have an employee that works for me until 6 p.m. and she really can't work for me after 5 p.m., it really has become impossible," said Gilliam.
Although Mary complains the music on the stage is a little overwhelming, most people that we spoke to in the neighborhood don't seem to mind the music.
"I don't think it's much of a big deal, I'm happy that the people in this city have a place to hold it and it's not much of an inconvenience," said Peter Henry, a neighbor.
"Some people come, they move downtown and then they want to change it to be like a suburb, this downtown is what it is, because it's many different things, to different people at different times," said Oliver Kuttmer, another neighbor.
Gilliam understands not much can be done until July when the concert is expected back to the amphitheatre. She does, however, feel there's room for compromise. "The best thing I think I could hope for is for them to turn it down," said Gilliam.
One slight way to keep everyone satisfied, at least for now.

The Associated Press
Julian —
The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection says work has begun on another major restoration project on the Little Coal River.
Officials say the latest effort will enhance water quality on a 15-mile stretch of the river from Danville downstream to McCorkle.
The project aims to increase water flow and reduce stream bank erosion.
Work recently began on a section of the river at Julian in Boone County. The $3 million project is targeted for completion in December 2014.
American Electric Power contributed $1.45 million through a consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act.
Officials say efforts to improve water quality on the Little Coal River have been ongoing for close to 30 years.

As 2013 approaches, Patch has asked Fairfax County School Board members to share their goals and priorities for 2013.
Board member Sandy Evans (Mason) shares her top five points below. They run unedited.
The upcoming year will be a particularly busy one on the School Board, from our Superintendent search to another difficult budget to some far-reaching instructional issues. Here's what I see at the Top 5 Priorities for 2013, plus a note about a Vision for the Future:
- Superintendent Search: The most important thing any School Board does is hire a superintendent to manage the school system. The last time we did this was more than eight years ago when Dr. Jack Dale was hired. This School Board wants to be sure we involve the community as much as possible in determining what type of leader we are looking for, and that process is underway. Our search firm, Hazard Young Attea &Associates, has held a number of meetings for the public and smaller meetings with individuals and groups and is working on developing a leadership profile. To see the first draft, which is being revised, go to this linkParents, teachers, students and other members of the community can weigh in by participating in an online survey about the leadership characteristics for the new superintendent.
The selection of the superintendent will happen this spring for a July 1, 2013, start date.
- Budget Blues: Once again we are being warned about difficult budget times, with continuing slow growth of the economy and belt-tightening across the different levels of government from which the school system gets its funding, particularly the Board of Supervisors. The School Board, which is tasked with creating a needs-based budget for the school system, has directed the Superintendent to provide for modest pay increases for teachers and other FCPS employees, finishing up a state mandate to have employees pay more for benefits but to raise salaries to compensate for it, as well as the equivalent of a 2% cost-of-living increase. Our number of students continues to grow, and we have more state mandates to deal with. Just paying for increased enrollment of students and state mandates will require adding millions of dollars more to our $2.4 billion budget.
- Later High School Start Times: The School Board has set a goal of achieving later high school start times to replace the onerous 7:20 am current time, which requires bus pickups as early as 5:45 am. Starting high schools later will benefit teen physical,mental and academic health, and research shows that this change results in improved academic performance, higher graduation rates, fewer trips to counselors, fewer absentees and tardies and a better school atmosphere generally. The Fairfax Youth Survey shows that two-thirds of our teen students get 7 or fewer hours sleep per school night, when optimally they would be getting about 9. Later start times do result in students getting more sleep on school nights, which has wide-ranging health, safety and academic ramifications. At the Board's direction, the school system is in the process of hiring a consultant to create a Blueprint for Change to help guide the system to the best resolution.
- Achievement Gap: We continue to see an achievement gap, and the Board has set eliminating this gap as a top priority. This ties into a number of other issues, such as providing more resources for preschool programs for at-risk students, better early identification for Advanced Academic Programs and individualized instruction. It'simperative that we address this issue through early and broad instructional initiatives.
- Facilities/Security: We have some key facilities issues before us. One is overcrowding at many of our schools, such as Bailey's Elementary with its 1,321 students crammed into a school intended for 1,020, now at 130% of capacity. Throughout the system,we have nearly 900 trailers at our schools because of severe overcrowding. Another priority is the renovation queue and finding ways to renovate more of our oldest schools.With the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Ct., we will be reviewing our extensive safety and security protocols to make sure they are all they can and should be.
Overall, the Board will have an opportunity to create a new Vision for the Future. With a new Board having come in in 2012 and a new Superintendent in 2013, this will provide a good time for us to reassess where we are as a school system and where we need to be going in the next two decades. We have talked a lot about these overarching issues, such as how to make sure our students acquire 21st Century skills, or what's sometimes called the "4 C's"—communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. Connected with this piece is the role of standardized test scores and whether we need different measures to suit a rapidly changing educational and workplace environment. Individualizing instruction, and what role technology will play in this, are critical challenges we face in this endeavor.
As we enter 2013, I wish all of your readers a happy and healthy year and enjoyment as lifetime learners.
Sandy Evans, Fairfax County School Board member, Mason District

This brand new app is being promoted to help people suffering from mental health pressures such as depression, phobias, confidence issues and low self esteem.
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) July 03, 2014
The My Inner Voice app has been specifically designed for people with mental and emotional issues that have made their lives increasingly difficult. Problems such as social phobias, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, depression and excessive daily stress are debilitating and can negatively affect people's lives in a very significant way. My Inner Voice app is a powerful tool. It is designed to aid the process of transformation by helping people harness their positive Inner Voice and tap into their own personal power to free themselves from their self-imposed constraints to become happier and more fulfilled. When production ends on this project, the app will be offered for free to anyone who needs it.
Zaid Ahmed, creator of the app, is an experienced NLP practitioner, therapist and personal coach. Together with his team, he has more than 10 years' experience dealing with individuals suffering from a range of issues. Ahmed says, Over the years, our extensive experience has shown us that people needing our help have been influenced by a negative inner voice that controls their feelings. Negative thoughts can lead to negative behaviours and is one of the main reasons why so many people are unable to cope with these mental health pressures.
Ahmed came up with the idea to put all their experiences into a user-friendly app for everyone to use for free. The team used their knowledge in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Therapy (RET) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) to help reprogram the way people think about and perceive their problems. Used regularly, the app will seamlessly change the negative inner voice that people suffering from mental pressures often deal with. It will help them to replace these conscious and unconscious negative thoughts with positive self-perceptions, thereby reducing or eliminating the harmful constraining hold it has on them. This will in turn help to build their confidence and self esteem and enable them to become more fulfilled.
The team was driven to make this app available to as many people as possible. Ahmed says, In our experience there are so many problems which can be dealt with individually and at no cost. We realised how something so simple could help so many people change their lives so significantly for the better.
The group's goal is simple; to attempt to change the lives of people suffering from low self esteem and related mental illnesses for the better. They are currently looking to raise £60,000 in order to continue funding and finish production of this app. This money is necessary to employ the designers and developers to produce this app as well as the costs associated with bringing it to market, says Ahmed. They will also be providing various perks to contributors.
About Zaid Ahmed and My Inner Voice App
Zaid Ahmed qualified as an Advanced Master Practitioner with John La Valle and as an NLP Practitioner & Master Practitioner with Richard Bandler & Paul McKenna. With 10+ yrs' experience in planning & delivering Therapeutic Services (Coaching, Mentoring, Training, Counselling) to individuals as well as providing advice to a range of major organisations and media stations, Ahmed also has an extensive and successful background working voluntarily in a variety of roles including mentoring young people in a local secondary school as part of the Mosaic programme and regularly providing complimentary confidential one-to-one sessions to individuals suffering from a range of concerns.
Ahmed is the creator of the My Inner Voice app. This app is designed to help individuals with mental health or self esteem problems to feel better about themselves, what they can do and what they can achieve. The app will be given away for complimentary to anyone who needs it. Ahmed is currently attempting to raise funds in order to complete the project.

"Very neutral response to this book"
After finishing listening to the book, I read many of the reviews hoping to figure out what I missed. I didn't find the book or the characters engaging or sad. The character of the author was particularly annoying, and yet the plot needed him to work. Mr. Green does give us a very satisfying ending, unlike the character of the author. It was a tough topic, and I appreciate the author's respect for the subject without being sappy.
The bonus material at the end of the interview with the author was interesting, although I wondered if the woman asking questions was actually interviewing him. The interview seems very disjointed.
"Thoroughly enjoyed this book"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's a great insight into the lives of the rich and famous, who somehow don't forget that they came from humble beginnings.
"Always a great re-read"
This is a classic that should be read by all free-thinkers. Particularly relevant in these times of a increasing reliance on the government.
"Enjoyed this dark book"
This book is sad and dark. The author, although torn apart by grief, is hard to like, but her story is compelling. The reader is excellent.
"Always entertaining"
I love David Sedaris. I'd listen to him read anything, especially his own non-fiction. I don't enjoy the fiction as much, but appreciate his imagination.
"Great book - easy read"
The best television watching I've done in my life was during the great Chicago Bulls run. I read this book not so much as a basketball fan, but a fan of good, available entertainment. This book continues that tradition. Phil Jackson is a great coach, tells a great story, and works with his reader in an productive, cooperative way. I learned a lot about dealing with difficult people, too. Phil Jackson deserves to tell his story, and tells it well.
"Jefferson's life deserved a better book"
I loved the insights into Jefferson's life, but the story telling left much to be desired. It was easy to put this down, and forget you were reading it. Unlike JOHN ADAMS, which I found riveting, this writing did not keep me engaged. However, it is well worth reading to learn more about a fascinating man, who's personality and choices live in our daily lives because of the impact he made to the country. The author, with his resources, could have done a much better job. I felt like he read kept reading through his notes and said, "Oh, I forgot to add this, so I'll pop it in here."
"I did not enjoy this book"
I didn't find this book funny or interesting. It is a book in which nothing happens, no suspense is built, and has no likeable characters. I didn't crack a smile - maybe I just missed the whole point. I forced myself to listen to the end hoping to find something to redeem my time and credits, but found nothing.
"May be better read when you can check footnotes"
This book is filled with so many claims and data, I kept wanting to see the source of the information.
"Enjoyable and honest"
This book was a great break from my usual reading. It's very current and honest. Ms. Johnston's reading is exceptional and entertaining, as many other commenters have mentioned.

Is there a future for science fiction?
Is there a future for science fiction?
The passing of Arthur C Clarke has left many of science fiction's devotees in funereal mode: Asimov's gone, Heinlein's gone, Vonnegut too. With other titans such as Ray Bradbury and Ursula LeGuin not getting any younger, a collective sigh for giants passed has heaved through the blogosphere: who, now, can take the helm of Starship SF?
Well, lots of people actually - though in keeping with the genre's traditions, it is undergoing some unexpected mutations, and there are at least two very different horizons ahead.
Look in one direction and you can see writers splintering the genre into ever more specific niches, with correspondingly smaller readerships. Wikipedia lists 43 sub-genres of science fiction (for reasons as obscure as the mechanics of time travel, you must never call it sci-fi if you're talking to a fan), and there will probably be more by next week.
For those who like stories about underground groups doing battle with sinister megacorporations, there's biopunk. This is not to be confused with clockpunk, which considers the impact modern technologies would have had if they had been invented earlier. Bronzepunk and stonepunk have some similarities, but don't whatever you do give a clockpunk fan a space opera or a sword'n'planet as an Easter present.
Swing your scope around towards the mass market, however, and something like the Invasion of the Mainstream is under way. Where previously SF existed in its own universe, little visited by general readers, it is now taking over large stretches of Waterstone's shelves.
Until recently, a science fiction novel would never have made the Booker shortlist. These days the literati are forever zooming back and forth in time (Will Self and David Mitchell two recent adventurers) and fiddling around in the laboratory (Margaret Atwood and Kazuo Ishiguro).
"I don't pretend we have all the answers," Arthur C Clarke once wrote. "But the questions are certainly worth thinking about." These days, it seems, all of us are doing so.

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
Bah. I don't see it. All genres evolve. Sure, it's a shame that some really great authors are no longer with us, but that doesn't mean the genre is dying. Is the article implying that "Where previously SF existed in its own universe, little visited by general readers, it is now taking over large stretches of Waterstone's shelves." is a bad thing? I don't see it.

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
I have been led to understand that a certain Mr W. Shakespeare is no longer with us; other people still seem to want to write plays, including tragedies, comedies and even histories. (And hasn't that clever Sr da Vinci also passed his best and yet painting - and even inventing - go on in the hands of others.)

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
I agree with Rane. SF is simply evolving... and at the moment, with the "apparent" splintering of genres (hey, when was SF ever all the same-type stories by different artists?), the evolution of delivery mediums (the web, e-books, CD and DVD), and the changes of society that are catching up with many of the older SF concepts, it's hard to see where SF is going right now.
SF has gone through phases before, and re-invented itself each time. Metropolis begat the Buck Rodgers serials, begat Forbidden Planet, begat Star Trek, begat The Andromeda Strain, begat The Prisoner, begat Soylent Green, begat The Matrix, begat Firefly... each as different as the last. I think we're at the tail-end of a declining phase right now, so we just have to wait for the next phase (or create it ourselves).

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
All genres have subgenres, you'll find the same in mystery, romance and literary.
The above is a simplistic assessment drawn from an insufficent understanding of a journalist, who because of recent novels in sff from "literary" authors is forced to try and understand. So in a half-assed way to make a story, or a point, she says SF is either internally ghettoised, or (and don't worry) it'll be saved by literary authors.
She doesn't know the works of current sf authors, hence they don't get mentioned. Clearly her editor gave her an assignment that was either beyond her, or she couldn't be bothered doing any research. (Hence the half-read, half-digested gunk from Wiki).

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
I dont believe its dying at all. There are too many skilled authors writing the genre today.
I do sometimes wish though there were more writers that could make you feel for a SF book like you do with a good RAH,PKD etc
I havent read a modern writer that comes near that. Thats only natural it doesnt mean the genre is dying, it means the genre has more greats in its history than in many other genres.

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
Ummm, guys... did anyone actually read the post?
Yes, it points out the bewildering number of categories within the genre, and that some of these have very narrow audiences... but this is at most handled as a point of mild concern. The thrust of the whole, on the other hand, shows me an awareness that sf is becoming more viable as literature outside fandom as well as in. Look at the thing again, especially the line from Clarke and the closing by the reporter. That by itself should tell you that sf is being seen here as, if anything, a more vital genre than ever....

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
My question is of a more mundane nature. How is it that Nesa is able to appropriate Chris' computer all the way from Malaysia while Chris resides in Switzerland? Perhaps this is simply one more example of the awesome power of the felines.
Upon further reflection there is most likely some extremely interesting sci-fi explanation for that which will no doubt be revealed shortly.

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
As I understand it, Nesa went to a TravelAgent booth, bought a "tikket" which entitled her to a place in a giant aluminium flying machine, called, probably, a "BOE'ING", which whisked her half way around the world in less than a day to the Fabled City Of Lon-Don (in a sub-Orbital flight)to attend the Grand Conclave of Fandom known to the wise as "Eastercon"...on the return, she broke her journey at the Neutral Zone of Swit-Zer-Land to confer with the Most Puissant Overlord of Pedantism himself!

Sorry, SW, no intention whatsoever to be snide...I was responding in what I thought was an appropriately "Sci-fi" way to your post...including a smiley.
No offence at all intended. My apologies.

Re: Is there a future for science fiction?
Yes, please put away the katana... and the phasor. Let's keep it civil.
Seriously, two quick points: First the world tends to overclassify nowadays, hence the many sub-genre and second, some form of Science Fiction will exist as long as humankind has any sort of curiosity about its future or surroundings.

Devoted: The Everly Brothers at the Royal Albert Hall
Penny Reel, NME, 8 October 1983
THERE'S THIS certain tension which exists between the Everly Brothers that is the genius of their music. It's as if the lyrics of such as 'When Will I Be Loved', 'Bye Bye Love', and particularly 'Love Hurts' and on this night of reconciliation 'Let It Be Me', are directed as much to each other as any next party. Phil's lorn howl ranged against Don's tender lead, their black jumbo guitars ringing synchronically and the evening, of course, electric. An audience of every age, elders, excited children, one Japanese youth sits rapt like Keats before the Elgin Marbles.
Total word count of piece: 443

Earlier this month, Victor Baez woke up to disturbing news from his neighbor. To his disblief, his Chevy truck's tires were missing. Channel Six discovered that he isn't the only one in the metro.
A La Vista man also said his tires were stolen about a week and a half ago. Investigators said they've received three reports.
Baez and other victims are wondering why their trucks are being targeted.
It has cost owners about $3,500 to replace the tires.
Baez urges others to garage their trucks.

Hidden Milwaukee gem: The Jazz Estate
A couple weeks ago, on a Tuesday night, a friend and I were on our way to see some live music. In the course of our walk to The Jazz Estate she commented that this would be her first time at the iconic Milwaukee music venue. I was slightly taken aback and, needless to say, surprised, especially considering how it has become a favorite spot of mine and many of my friends.
There was a time when I had never been to The Jazz Estate either. But it was one of those places in the city that I kept hearing I had to go to. First it was, "What, you've never seen Evan Christian on a Wednesday night?" I finally made it to see Evan. Let me tell you, it's worth the late night – as the people trickle out, his sets get better. Then, it was, "You have to see The Erotic Adventures of the Static Chicken; they play every Tuesday." I finally made it to one of their performances, as well, and it was much more than I'd expected.
If you've been lucky enough to see Christian or Static Chicken elsewhere you know what a treat it is. But being able to experience their music in this dimly lit dive bar on Murray Avenue is an experience in itself. The talented flamenco guitarist and the funky quartet are truly in their element on the bar-side stage and the clientele are quite something in their own right. Early in both sets, tables fill up quickly but there always seems to be just enough standing room if you aren't lucky enough to snag seats in the "front row."
But these two fantastic mainstays are far from the only entertainment The Jazz Estate has to offer. They do a great job of sprinkling in other extraordinary acts including other local favorites – such as the trio Nineteen Thirteen who will be playing a show in early November – as well as out-of-towners. However, no matter who's filling the bill, you can be guaranteed that the musical quality and unmistakable ambiance of Milwaukee's premiere jazz club will make it a night to remember.

ArtWorks for Milwaukee's Annual Night by the River Benefit
My life history in Milwaukee has been incredibly enjoyable. Starting with wagon rides to the zoo and local custard as a child, Bradford Beach suntans as a teen, Milwaukee night clubs and wild early morning parties as a young adult and now: networking events and fundraisers as a career- and community-focused adult. As I look back on my history in this city, the most rewarding stage in my life is right now.
Volunteering as a Board Director for ArtWorks for Milwaukee is truly inspiring. My life mission aligns with this non-profit in so many ways. ArtWorks has allowed underserved youth in the city to change their lives through the arts while assisting them in developing employability and social skills. I am so proud of each teen that has completed our internship program and is now better suited to become a productive, working member of the Milwaukee community. Since I began volunteering with the organization, I have learned that preparing the next generation of Milwaukee professionals starts now.
ArtWorks for Milwaukee is excited to be planning our 4th Annual Fundraiser: Night by the River. Last year we raised over $16,000, which funded one of our six paid, arts internship programs. The event will take place in the Milwaukee County Historical Society on Friday, November 2 at 6 p.m. We're estimating up to 400 people in attendance. Guests will enjoy tastings from local restaurants, wineries, breweries, and distilleries. There will also be a silent and live auction, raffle, interns showcasing and selling their art, live music and more!
If you are looking to give back to the Milwaukee community and support the next generation of Milwaukee's workforce, consider attending the event. It is going to be a great time for a great cause. Buy your tickets now!

Benefits of fall foods
It's that time of year in Wisconsin again. This year's scorching summer is a fading memory as the weather is growing colder and the leaves are changing color and beginning to lose their annual battle with gravity. This is also the time of year for tricks and treats, costumes and parties. Halloween is fast approaching and for many of us this is the day that really kicks off the holiday season.
Fall is also the season when most of us eat more pumpkin than we do in the other three seasons combined. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin muffins and bread, pumpkin soup and even pumpkin ravioli – the possibilities are nearly endless. And it just so happens that this winter squash is a superfood, which basically means it is incredibly good for you.
The most beneficial part of the pumpkin has got to be the seeds, which provide generous quantities of vitamins and minerals, fiber and good fats. By good fats I mean pumpkin seed oil can raise your good cholesterol and lower your bad cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.
But the benefits don't stop there. This nutritional powerhouse contains an amino acid called tryptophan, also present in turkey, which may help combat depression and has shown promise as a sleep aid. Pumpkin seeds can also lower your risk of developing kidney stones, may be beneficial to memory and help your body recover after a hard workout.
The seeds are one thing, but what about that delicious pumpkin pie? It so happens that the flesh (the stuff that goes into the pie) also provides many benefits. Along with vitamin C, vitamin A and fiber, pumpkins also contain carotenoidus. Carotenoids are the pigments and antioxidants that give pumpkins their orange color and these little guys may help ward off cancer.
Clearly these superfoods are not readily available year-round, which is unfortunate given how healthy they are, but there is an alternative. A great source for pumpkin seeds and bottled seed oil, among other natural and organic foods, is the community-owned grocery retailer Outpost Natural Foods. If you have never heard of this place you need to check it out.
Founded in 1970, Outpost was formed in response to the big business takeover of the food industry by people in Milwaukee who wanted wholesome, whole foods that were not excessively processed and full of artificial additives and pesticides. That same year the small cooperative began selling shares and today it is owned by more than 17,000 people. Though some items are a bit pricey, you get what you pay for and patronizing this co-op helps support the local economy in more than one way – Outpost tries to provide locally grown and produced food whenever possible, including their pumpkin seed oil.
So this Halloween and Thanksgiving try to eat plenty of pumpkin and consider doing the same year-round. With all of the potential health benefits your taste buds and stomach are unlikely to be the only beneficiaries.

The various tricks and treats of Halloween in Milwaukee
Fall, one of my favorite seasons, has finally arrived. I am excited to throw on my sweaters, leggings, dust off my favorite pair of boots and prepare for Halloween traditions.
Halloween traditions for many consist of decorating homes with all things spooky like webs, witches, ghouls and goblins and visiting haunted houses. It appeals to enthusiasts of all ages. For kids, there's always the anticipation of collecting candy during trick-or-treating. For adults, we can look forward to pumpkin carving with spiked apple cider and attending costume parties wearing something to make even Nicki Minaj's head turn.
If you're looking for fun things to do in Milwaukee around Halloween, check out these three options:
1.) For Milwaukee, one haunted house always comes to my mind: the Mars Haunted House. Not only is this haunted house one of the top rated in Wisconsin and the Milwaukee area, it is must-see for its scare factor and because it has confirmed paranormal activity at the haunted house site.
2.) If you aren't interested in the idea of made-up haunted houses even if they include potential for paranormal activity, check out this paranormal website . It provides a list of places to visit in Milwaukee where paranormal activity has occurred; making it a top notch contender for things to do during the Halloween season.
3.) Last but not least, get yourself and a group of friends signed up for a ghost tour at Milwaukee's Ghost Bar. Awaiting you is an adventure to what some have called "the other side" making your drink of choice a must-have during the tour.
Of course there are many things to do during the Halloween season, but one thing is for sure, nothing beats enjoying a season filled with fun and tradition in a city you love!

Newaukee goes to the movies: 'Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best'
Who hasn't felt the lack of direction that sometimes sets in in your mid-twenties? Your college friend group might be scattered around the country, your relationship with your first love may have fizzled or you may not enjoy your first real job.
If one of these has happened to you, consider yourself lucky. Alex, the main character of "The Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best," has just been dumped, fired and kicked out of his band. Depressed and lacking direction, he gets together with his number one fan and embarks on a cross-country concert slash soul searching tour.
With quirky humor and an awesome soundtrack, this is the perfect movie to enjoy with friends.
That's why Newaukee is inviting all of theirs to join them at the movies for the 9:45 p.m. screening of "The Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best" at the Oriental Theater Wednesday.

How to make diet and exercise work for you: Part 2
So which is the superior workout strategy: strength training or cardio?
The answer is really that doing both resistance training and cardio are better than doing one or the other.
One gives more immediate results (cardio) and one is more long-term in its benefits. Weightlifting raises your metabolism more permanently and prevents cardio-induced muscle loss, while cardio increases your short-term metabolism and burns more calories immediately.
A couple quick notes. First, keep in mind that sprinting and interval training are not for everyone because they are so intense by nature. Getting injured will not help your fitness goals, so listen to your body.
Second, many women fear they will get bulky from weightlifting, but I assure you that you won't get huge because of lack of testosterone compared with men. If you take steroids, however; all bets are off.
So by now you have probably gathered that I have a gym membership. I would be the first to tell you that you need one if you are really serious about being in shape, but there is a more unique place in Milwaukee that I love to go to get in a good workout: McKinley Park. The park provides more options than you may realize and has beautiful scenery to boot.
Just south of the corner of Lincoln Memorial Drive and East Water Tower Road, McKinley boasts two sets of workout equipment that include: parallel bars, a pull-up and dip station, bars to do different difficulty levels of pushups, sit-ups, squats and more. Across Lincoln Memorial is a hill with steps where people frequently walk or run and along the lake is Oak Leaf Trail, a 108-mile recreational trail encircling Milwaukee County. Aside from the fact that it offers a free workout, one of the great things about this place is the wide variety of fitness levels of the people working out. They range from out of shape to extremely fit and, maybe it's a cliché, but it really appears that this is a judgment free zone.
And just in case you want to cool off after your workout, the beach is a few hundred yards away (and if you've ever taken a dip in Lake Michigan you know how quickly it can cool you off). With summer winding down there may only be a month or two left to comfortably take advantage of McKinley Park's fitness options, but I for one will enjoy it while I can.

What is a NID and how does it help me?
Recently the Juneau Park Friends, East Town Association, and Gary Grunau have proposed the formation of the 2 Parks Neighborhood Improvement District or NID. Similar to a Business Improvement District, a NID works to improve the overall climate of an area, but unlike a BID it works for and is supported entirely by residents.
The 2 Parks NID plans to improve two of Milwaukee's downtown parks: Juneau Park and Cathedral Square Park. For Juneau Park, the NID will rid the grounds of invasive species that block the beautiful lake views and contribute to the erosion of the bluff. For Cathedral Square Park, the plans include: a new band shell, the replenishment of the lawn, and the installation of more bathrooms and seating for residents that come for Jazz in the Park, Made in Milwaukee, Firkin Fest and Bastille Days.
Funding the plans is a proposed tax that would amount to about $50 per year for the owner of a $200,000 condo in the East Town Neighborhood. Imagine: for the price of apps and drinks for 2 at your favorite downtown restaurant, you could have two beautifully renovated parks in your downtown to enjoy.
While progress has been made to establish the NID and initial plans for the parks' designs have been drafted, public support for the NID is still needed. If you are a downtown resident or property owner in support of this renovation that strives to improve your downtown living experience, you can support the NID by signing and returning this letter.
If you would like to know a little more about the NID and the proposed plans, the public is invited to attend an informational meeting Thursday, September 27 from 5:30p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Miller Room at the O'Donnell Pavilion (910 E. Michigan Street).
NEWaukee and ART Milwaukee are not affiliated with the formation of the 2 Parks NID; however, this blog is intended to raise the downtown young professional population's awareness of this project.

How to make diet and exercise work for you: Part 1
Diet and exercise. That is the weight loss mantra preached by doctors, weight management experts and laypersons alike. While you had to have been living under a rock to miss the message that a combination of these approaches can be a successful formula to getting to one's ideal weight, the details are somewhat murkier. Often much of the attention is on the specifics of the diet, while exercise is addressed in a much more general way. Statements like, "Exercise for 30 minutes, five days per week," are commonplace. While that may be good advice, the fact is that not all exercise is created equal.
In a country where a high percentage of Americans fall into the obese category and in a state known for its dairy products and beer, there are many who could benefit from knowing which is the best form of exercise to shed those excess pounds. The two heavyweights in the world of exercise are cardiovascular exercise and resistance training (eg. weightlifting,) and there is ongoing debate as to which is superior. The debate rages on because both can help you lose weight, but they accomplish the feat in different ways.
While both forms of exercise burn fat through a combination of calorie expenditure during the exercise itself and by increasing the amount of calories burned in the 24 hours following your workout, cardio is more effective at both of these. So that makes cardio more effective, right? Well it is somewhat more complicated than that because resistance training also helps burn fat by increasing lean body mass. Simply put, muscle burns fat and having more muscle will help burn fat while you are being active as well as during sedentary periods and is essential for long-term weight loss.
The picture gets even more complicated when you consider the fact that too much cardio can actually reduce lean body mass, resulting in stifled weight loss results in the long-term. Along these lines, and this may be more subjective on my part, I have rarely seen a long distance runner appear to have as low a body fat percentage as many sprinters. Though long distance runners burn more calories during their races and in training, the sprinter in the picture in the link above clearly has a lower body fat percentage. What explains this difference within the cardio category itself?
Well, both sprinting and traditional weightlifting fall into the anaerobic activity category and I believe that because both put an intense load on the muscles for a short period of time, sprinting can actually build muscle. Because sprinting is somewhat of a mix between cardio and resistance training, it should burn more fat than jogging, in part because sprinting does help build muscle. Alternating between jogging and sprinting, a training technique called interval training, has also been shown to be more effective at shedding fat than jogging alone.
Stay tuned for part 2 of this topic, which will the answer the question of which is the superior workout strategy and introduce you to a great workout option in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee sets the bar high
For the last couple of weeks, I have been considering moving to a different city. I've been out of college for a year, my apartment lease is up, and my family has finally recognized that I'm an adult. There's nothing holding me back, I thought.
But I thought wrong. Being an outsider in a new city is rough anywhere, probably even in Milwaukee, even though I don't know what that feels like. But I noticed there are some cities that some people just don't plant roots in.
I was recently on the West Coast in a city that I was very seriously considering moving to. I came armed with a planner full of appointments to look at different apartments and a portfolio of resumes and recommendation letters.
But as soon as I started to explore one thing became very evident: people don't stay there. Having worked in the service industry for several years, I implored the servers and bartenders I met about their opinions of the city. There was one clear theme: these people were just passing through, maybe spending a year or so and then moving on to something bigger and better.
But it wasn't just people, it was large corporations as well. After playing tourist for a day, I learned that two of the three largest skyscrapers on the skyline were vacant because those companies has gone under or decided to move their headquarters elsewhere.
If businesses and individuals are not committed to staying in a city, why would they try to make it better?
It became very obvious to me that everyone from the individuals to large corporations are willing to make an investment in Milwaukee. It's why we have national scale events like the Air and Water Show and Summerfest. But it's also why we take on development projects like the renovation of the Wisconsin and Juneau Avenue bridges. We are all here to make this city better: a city where we can build a business, a family, and a following.
I've found that finding a new city that meets my needs is going to be harder than I thought. Milwaukee set the bar pretty high.

Comfortable being uncomfortable
By nature, I want to make others feel comfortable. My mother is the same way. I watch her interact with people and I am in awe of how easy she is to get along with. She is interested in what people have to say. She wants to learn from them. She wants to share with them. She makes others feel good about themselves. She is my definition of progression.
As a child, if there was an argument or conflict between people, my first instinct was to patch it up. Hug. Let's forget about it and move on. We may have different views but I respect you for having your opinion. As I grew into the person I am today, I realized that providing comfort to others allows them to feel close to you, and you to them. I would define myself as a true "love bug".
One of my favorite pieces of advice from a mentor early in my career was, "Everyone's center of their universe is themself." Being in the staffing field has allowed me the opportunity to deal with a variety of professionals, from the CIO of an organization to the receptionist who greets you at the door to the contractor who is interviewing for their first assignment. This relevant piece of advice sits in my pocket during every meeting. What is important to this person/team? What would make their job easier? What core items need to be met when I leave here in order to produce the best result? When I meet with them next time, will they be pleased with how I have treated them in the past?
Regardless the level or position title, thinking about your audience and their needs will benefit both parties. By finding out how you can assist and contribute while making them feel comfortable, ultimately makes you more valuable. I am proud to say that I follow a servant mentality in all aspect of my life; faith, career and family. Being a servant leader is being committed to the effort of growing as an individual. Define your career mentality; your consistent approach will dictate how others react.

Local neighborhood adventurer
I am one of the many young professionals who congregate in the city of Milwaukee. During the day, I work as a marketing coordinator at a global industrial firm headquartered in Milwaukee, primarily helping with their advertising campaigns, brand management, event planning and other special projects. At night and on the weekends, I am an East Side dweller and Sonny Crockett wannabe.
I first moved to the city in 2009. Armed with a marketing degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, I initially settled in New Berlin. I can't say a bad thing about the town but unless you're 40 years old with little kids, it's not exactly a hot spot and I found myself bored after coming straight from the college scene.
As a result, I impulsively moved myself downtown. I was nervous moving to a big city all by myself but was soon intrigued to be among the big buildings and felt at ease knowing so many other young folks were trying out the same experiment. My first residence was near Cathedral Square, where Jazz in the Park is held, and I loved that the towering US Bank Building was the first thing I saw each morning. However, as I got comfortable with the city, I realized that Prospect Avenue was one of the trendiest areas on the East Side. The more time I spent on the street, the more I wondered if it were among the best streets in the state, maybe even the USA…
Now living there for over two years, I'm looking forward to writing about my observations and experiences on the street. In addition, I'm very interested in new city developments and the history of Milwaukee's other neighborhoods. Check back often to see what it's like living on the block …

I'm no conspiracy theorist.
I don't believe that our government faked the moon landing nor that it is hiding beings that landed in Roswell, N.M. And I believe that sports officials are almost always above reproach.
But after watching the Steelers' 19-16 overtime victory at Buffalo for a second time, I'm beginning to wonder if there is something to the notion that NFL officials are targeting the team.
Coach Mike Tomlin dismisses any talk about the officiating – and rightfully so, as it wouldn't help in any way and likely would lead to a hefty fine from the NFL.
The players weren't quite so quick to quell talk of a league-wide crackdown on the team after setting a franchise record with 163 penalty yards in last week's 35-3 victory over Oakland. No player was willing to openly criticize the officiating, for fear of incurring Roger Goodell's wrath, but a few alluded to a general feeling in the locker room that the league was targeting the Black and Gold.
And to a certain extent the league is. After all, linebacker James Harrison has become Public Enemy No. 1 when it comes to the NFL's crackdown on helmet-to-helmet hits. He has been fined $100,000 for his hits this season, and those three plays didn't draw flags when they happened.
He picked up a very questionable roughing-the-passer call against Oakland and added another one on Sunday for leading with the crown of his helmet on his hit on Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Harrison described it as a "textbook" hit, although that one looked more like the textbook version of what the NFL is trying to eliminate. So, if Goodell is looking to stop the kind of hits that fans love but the players' association hates because of concussion issues, it's understandable that officials will focus on physical teams like the Steelers and, specifically, Harrison.
The real problem that emerged against Buffalo was the penalties that officials did not see involving Harrison – mainly the way he and fellow outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley were being held by the Bills offensive line.
By watching the CBS broadcast a second time, and concentrating only on play along the lines, I spotted nearly a dozen plays where Buffalo's offensive lineman could have or should have been called for holding.
The old axiom is that holding could be called on virtually ever play in football, and nobody outside of defensive linemen wants to see that happen.
That's what makes the other end of the officiating frustrating. The Steelers were whistled for six offensive holding penalties, including four by left guard Chris Kemoeatu, who had his hands full – literally at times – with Buffalo's Kyle Williams.
Some of the holding calls on Pittsburgh were well-deserved.
Others seemed very difficult to justify.
Tomlin was asked about them.
"Some of the stuff with the holds, I'd have to take a look at the tape in order to have an opinion regarding it," he said.
Read between the lines and here's what Tomlin was really saying: "Some of the calls were questionable, but I want to see the game film before I write a check to the NFL."
And that's also understandable. Complaining publicly about officiating isn't good business for NFL coaches. But, behind the scenes, the Steelers must be wondering if all of their big hits have gotten into the heads of more than just their opponents.
