We arrived very late, around 23 pm - easy public transportation straight to the hotel (which we picked mostly for it's location, right next to Dusseldorf Hbf). The room was great - comfortable beds with soft sheets, free wifi, nice shower. Small room, but everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was really tasty and diverse, I completely overate. No problem...
I've stayed at this hotel for one night only. However, it is very conveniently located near the main railway station and offers a very decent price for fair quality. The single room was comfortable and the hotel provides even fresh fruit in the room! Everything was clean, the TV a bit small but okay, and as long as you do...
Very, very good position, friendly and helpful service and the cherry on the cake, SAUNA. Location is perfect, only few steps fron main train station, price is more than ever can thought, so good for me. I made a new reservation to the next trip for two years.
What a beautiful building! 2/3 minutes walk from the Train and Tram station, about 15 minutes walk to the shopping areas. Polite, attentive staff. Plentiful and quality breakfast which included eggs, bacon and sausage as well as the usual continental items. We had a room at the front which was noisy when you had the window open but that was...
What a wonderful experience we had in our one night stay at the Bismarck Hotel. We selected the hotel for its proximity to the Hauptbahnhof, which is only two to three blocks away.

The hotel is situated very near to the central station yet is quiet and relaxed as well as being friendly and welcoming. The rooms are of adequate size, very clean and with flat screen TV. The beds are comfortable and the breakfast is particularly good. Reception is friendly and very helpful.
1. Perfect location - Only a 3-minute walk from the main station on a bustling street where you can find so many international restaurants, shops, and stores.
2. Nice bathroom - Even based on the cheapest room (standard single) where I stayed, it has a fully renovated bathroom with a shower booth as well as dual showerheads (regular + sunflower)....

A man who punched a 5-year-old boy in the face has escaped prison, less than one year after he was sentenced to five months' jail for a December 2011 attack of ''appalling savagery'' which left a man unconscious and with serious facial injuries.
Carlos Arkinas Patangata, 21, appeared before Judge Brian Callaghan in Kaikoura District Court on Friday and pleaded guilty to a charge of assault on a child on October 9.
He had already admitted an earlier charge of assault and one of resisting arrest following an incident on August 25. Judge Callaghan sentenced Patangata to 160 hours' community work and 12 months' intensive supervision. He warned Patangata if he re-offended, he may have to return to court for resentencing. The judge said it did not look good that all the incidents had happened while Patangata was on release conditions for the serious assault in December 2011.
Given his upbringing and background one might think it was not overly surprising that Patangata had ended up in court but since October he had largely shown he could be trusted, Judge Callaghan said.''I think there is every hope that you are changing your life and becoming a good member of community and society. It would be turning back the clock to sentence you to prison.''Judge Callaghan said the assault on the child as well as an earlier assault on his former partner in which he dragged her down the street, prompting members of the public to step in, had occurred while he was on release conditions.
The earlier assaultled to a charge of resisting arrest when he smashed a shop window and a police patrol car windscreen as police tried to arrest him.According to the summary of facts, Patangata had been play-fighting with the 5-year-old when he lost his temper, punching him on the left side of his face and causing a cut and bruising.
Defence Rob Harrison said Patangata clearly had an issue with alcohol which he had been trying to address. He had been through a number of programmes, he said. His upbringing was a factor in his offending, however he had been starting to feel much better about himself since the latest residential rehabilitation course. He was now beginning to see alternatives.
Patangata was extremely remorseful for striking the young boy.Patangata told Judge Callaghan it had been 21/2 months since he had taken drugs or consumed alcohol and he was now feeling clear-headed

Daily Scripture - John 10:10
Prayer: Reflections
I look in the mirror and see a jumble of flaws.
Please, help me see myself as You see me:
Perfect. Whole. Capable.
Help me to view my defects as potential,
my awkwardness as a different beauty.
Prevent me from self-harm,
and from habits that bring me shame.
Help me to accept myself as I am,
just as You do,
with limitless kindness and forgiveness.

Thick white discharge with smell of vinegar, no itching, lower back ache, fever after unprotected sex. What is the cause?
Hello, I recently had unprotected sex.. we usually use condoms but we did it without.. i told him to pull out after 15 seconds because i was DEFINETLEY not sure about having sex without once (since im not on the pill either) the man i had sex with is my partner and has gone for a check up to make sure everything is Ok since he has had sex before and i have not before him. It s the day after we ve had unprotected sex and he didn t ejaculate inside me since it was only 15 seconds but my discharge has changed to a thick white sticky texture and smells like vinegar?!! I m not itchy anywhere but my lower back ache s alot.. What is this?? I ve had water infections before in my last relationship and i guess are prone to them because of poor nutrition but I don t know what this is. Those are the only symptoms i ve had except for having a normal cold and temperature. What could this be?

EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal board will back Wenger with more cash... as under-fire boss lines up Gotze and Reina
Arsene Wenger will be assured he is the man to revive Arsenal's fortunes at a board meeting with the club's American owner Stan Kroenke on Thursday.
The club have confirmed the manager will meet Kroenke, who arrived in London to watch Arsenal's 3-1 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League, after training.
Arsenal's only remaining ambitions this season are to avoid a humiliating second-leg loss in Munich on March 13 and to secure a top-four finish in the Barclays Premier League.
Under pressure: Arsene Wenger saw Arsenal crash out of the FA Cup and go 3-1 behind to Bayern Munich in the Champions League
Time to talk: Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke is set to speak with Wenger
The Gunners, who are fifth, face Aston Villa at the Emirates on Saturday in a potentially explosive clash as anger grows among supporters.
Wenger, under pressure after eight years without a trophy, is preparing to make sweeping changes to the squad in the summer.
But despite fan discontent he is under no threat from the board and his contract, which runs to 2014, is expected to be fulfilled by both sides.
Wenger was shocked by the gulf in class between his side and Bayern on Tuesday, but will be told there is significant money to spend this summer.Failure to finish in the top four could affect his plans and there is a back-up plan if they miss out for the first time since Wenger joined in 1996.
Arsenal have £150million in the bank and that will be swelled when the £150m, five-year deal with kit sponsor Emirates begins this summer.
The Gunners have also been in a period of exclusivity in negotiations over a new contract with kit manufacturer Nike, but adidas have emerged as serious competition. Although the figures for a new deal are being kept secret, the funds will be available for Wenger.
The Arsenal boss has targeted Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic, Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina, Borussia Dortmund attacker Mario Gotze and midfielders Victor Wanyama of Celtic and Toulouse's Etienne Capoue.
Dejected: Arsenal's players look disappointed after being defeated by Bayern
Wenger will speak with chief scout Steve Rowley and Arsenal's other scouts about the summer plans. It is understood they are working on identifying alternatives, knowing the budget could be cut.
It is also unlikely Wenger's top targets would be willing to join without the lure of Champions League football. But the Frenchman retains the staunch backing of the board and players after a week in which they also lost to Blackburn in the FA Cup.
Targets: Both Mario Gotze and Pepe Reina are on Wenger's shopping list in the summer
Skipper Thomas Vermaelen said: 'I am shocked people are questioning the manager. Everyone in football looks too short term. It doesn't mean that because it's not going well at the moment we don't stand behind him. He is the right man and we are behind him. We have to show it on the pitch as well.'
Theo Walcott agreed, saying: 'We've got the best man in the job to get our heads back to where they should be.'
Meanwhile, Bacary Sagna's advisers are exploring a move to Paris Saint-Germain. The France defender has privately conceded his Arsenal career is likely to end this summer after rejecting a year's contract extension. Wenger has asked his scouts to find right-back targets to replace him.

The NAB Education Foundation has announced that Michelle Duke, director of diversity services, will manage the Broadcast Leadership Training Program. Duke replaces Heather Birks, who is now the executive director of the Broadcast Education Association.
Duke joined NABEF in January 2005. In her position, she has provided broadcasters with diversity-related strategies and resources to assist them with staffing, retention and business practices. Duke oversees "Broad Reach," a diversity quarterly newsletter for broadcasters, "The Connections Mentoring Initiative," as well as professional fellowship programs and career outreach initiatives.
NABEF developed the BLT program in 2001 to promote diversity and upward mobility for women and minorities in broadcast management. The BLT Program, which is the brainchild of Shooting Star Broadcasting president and CEO Diane Sutter, targets senior level broadcast managers of proven ability who aspire to advance as group executives or station owners.
At NAB2006, the BLT program hosted the first annual "Ownership Mentoring Forum," which was co-sponsored by the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council. The forum provided potential owners the opportunity to have informal face time with broadcasting CEOs, brokers and financial investors.
Information about NAB can be found at www.nab.org.

Bainimarama arrives in NZ
Relevant offers
Fiji's military strongman Voreqe Bainimarama has slipped into New Zealand tonight, protected from the media by New Zealand's Internal Affairs Department.
His arrival came amidst signs that Fiji's old racial divisions are re-emerging ahead of democracy restoring elections on September 17.
Bainimarama is on what the government calls a "private visit" to Auckland to campaign for the elections.
Waiting media were told by an Auckland International Airport spokesman that Internal Affairs were facilitating Bainimarama's arrival and that he was not making any public appearance tonight.
Internal Affairs also provided transport to the Pullman Hotel in Auckland.
His regime has produced a constitution and a non-racial voting system in a country where 56 percent of the 838,000 people are indigenous Fijians and 37 percent Indian, descendants of indentured labourers imported by the colonial British.
Speaking to a cadet corps passing out parade in Lautoka this morning, Bainimarama said the country was "witnessing a noticeable lack of leadership amongst many leaders in our society."
He noted that deposed Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, who is campaigning for re-election, had said he believed Fijians were above all others.
"This is a remarkably divisive statement that stinks of the politics of the past," Bainimarama says.
"Any person who truly holds democratic and liberal values would be quick to disassociate themselves from such poisonous words."
But Fiji society had met the words with "a remarkable amount of wavering and weakness.
"Too few have had the courage to stand up for their values and strongly reject this attack against the basic notion of equality and justice for all."
He said there were many who criticised his regime but said nothing about the racial statements.
"This isn't leadership. This is cowardice and political calculation at its worst."
Bainimarama says he had declared everyone was a Fijian, "giving us all a common name and a common identity for the first time, strengthening our sense of unity and belonging, while recognizing the special place of the indigenous peoples of Fiji."
Bainimarama is scheduled to address a rally in Manukau tomorrow.

Title: Branches of yucca being blown down in Torrance CA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have a Yucca tree about 30 ft tall. Lately when the wind picks up in Torrance we have had about 3 branches fall out of the tree. Can you help me with this. I don't want to cut all of the branches off but our safety is in question here.
We think you may have answered your own question, in terms of safety. Someone standing under a 30-ft. yucca tree when it fell would probably get hurt, not just from the weight of the branch but from those long dagger-like leaves on the yucca. We looked at the four members of the Yucca genus native to California, and decided this sounded most like Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree). Our page on this plant in the Native Plant Database says this can grow from 5 to 40 feet, and that it is native to the Mojave Desert. We don't think this is the sort of thing you should try to deal with, we know we wouldn't, and recommend you call in an expert in yuccas to help you make the decision whether trimming it would be adequate or the whole plant needs to come down. And then they can take care of it.

The prospect of seeing a number of new faces in the Potters' line-up, including the likes of Charlie Adam, Michael Owen and Steven N'Zonzi, means there is high demand for the opportunity to see the encounter with Manchester City.
The Owen factor has resulted in a surge in sales of both Season Tickets and match tickets for the Manchester City match in particular, while a range of hospitality packages offers the chance to enjoy the occasion in the lap of luxury.
It's a game, of course, which conjurs up memories of that spectacular goal from Peter Crouch in the 1-1 draw with Roberto Mancini's men back in March and ignited an atmosphere that was as good as it has ever been at the Britannia Stadium.
For those who wish to make it an extra special occasion, there is plenty of choice in terms of the hospitality packages available including Executive Suites at £1,500 plus VAT that come with a two course meal, beer, wine and soft drinks.
Match tickets are also on general sale and the visit of Mancini's champions is Category A* in the matchday ticket prices.
If you require more information about hospitality packages, you can obtain this by contacting the Commercial Department on 01782 592211.
Those who wish to book match tickets can do online at scfcdirect.com or by telephoning the Ticket Office hotline on 01782 367599.
Alternatively, tickets for the game on Saturday 15th September can be purchased in person at the Britannia Stadium Ticket Office or the Club Stores in the Potteries Shopping Centre and the Roebuck Centre in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Quilt Nebraska 2015
Each year in July the Nebraska State Quilt Guild holds their annual Quilt Nebraska convention. The location moves around the state, but the dates are always the last full weekend in July. Convention starts on Thursday with Quilt History Day and opening receptions, and then continues through Friday and Saturday with lots of classes, lectures, and banquets with speakers each night. The winning raffle ticket for the raffle quilt from the year before is drawn, and the new raffle quilt is revealed. A small quilt show featuring quilts from the participating teachers and the year's challenge quilts, along with a vending mall, is available not only to participants in the convention, but also to the public. All in all, it is loads of fun and there is always something going on.
Part of the fun of convention is seeing and hanging out with friends and acquaintances from around the state who share a genuine love of the art of quilting. The variety of styles, tastes, skill levels, and preferences is mind-boggling! Those that plan the convention always do a good job of providing a wide variety of classes in an attempt to appeal to the many interests of those that attend.
This year in Norfolk, I had the privilege of teaching a class at Quilt Nebraska 2015! I had to send in a proposal for a class and then waited to be accepted or rejected as one of the regional teachers. The conventions always bring in several national teachers from around the country and then fill in the rest of the schedule with regional teachers. I was accepted and taught a "make and take" type class with my original design for "My Nebraska" wall quilt. As those of you that follow my blog know, I had designed the center for the AMB solids blog tour sponsored by Clothworks last spring. After the blog tour was over, I wanted to extend the size of my original 6 x 9 inch design and added a row of chasing flying geese to represent the many migrating birds that cross our state every year.
I had 13 eager ladies sign up for my class, and they each made a great start on their wall quilt. In a three hour class, they were able to completely finish the center of the quilt, and hopefully went home with enough knowledge to finish their little project at home. I had a blast doing it! I do quite a bit of teaching, but teaching at Quilt Nebraska felt like a real honor. I may just apply to do it again in the future!
Next year, the convention is being held in Lincoln at the Cornhusker Hotel. I, for one, will be there with bells on!

It's Row by Row Time!
As a former high school teacher, my year was governed by: 1st semester, Christmas vacation, 2nd semester, and summer break. In fact, if you count all the years that I was a student myself, my life was governed by those terms for 35 years! Often, I still find myself thinking of the year in that way.
Nowadays, though, I am more likely to think in terms of "graduation quilts," "wedding quilts," "Christmas gift quilts," NIFS Spring Shop Hop, and now the annual Row by Row Experience.
These times of year determine my professional schedule and, I am tentative to admit, my vacation plans! I have already been scheming to figure out how I can get my husband, who is extremely busy with construction season, to take me on a trip before September 8 so that I can collect some rows from out of state.
As I ponder my plans, a light shines on me, and hubby says: "I need to go to Kansas City for training on August 4. Do you want to come along and we can make a weekend of it to celebrate our anniversary on August 2?" DO I??? Now, the question is: how many quilt shops in the Kansas City area are participating in the Row by Row, and how many can I legitimately get to in a three day period:) The best way to figure that out is to explore the website, check for cute rows on Facebook, use my trusty atlas and GoogleMaps, and formulate my plan.
Last year, we went to Paducah, KY via Hamilton, Hannibal, and St. Louis, MO so that I could pick up rows. With only 35 states participating last year, we covered a lost of territory that was "row free." This year...all 50 states are playing!!! If you are traveling ANYWHERE this summer, you can find rows kits, license plates, and free patterns. The pictures on this page are of the row that I designed for the Quilters Cottage in Kearney, NE. I made the row so that it can be made either vertically or horizontally. On Facebook, all you have to do it type in the name of the state followed by rowbyrowexperience and you can see pictures of many of the available rows and where to find them in that state. Genius!!!
If you haven't yet begun, there's still plenty of time! So, get out there and experience the fun of collecting rows for your own personal travel memento!

It's Retreat Time Again!
|My 30's block for the drawing at our retreat this year.
What to bring:
1. Sewing machine with feet, all cords, bobbins, and other notions.
2. Extension cord and/or power strip.
3. Personal iron and ironing surface, if desired. Usually, those hosting the retreat provide two or three ironing stations for everyone to share.
4. Personal cutting mat, rotary cutter, etc. Again, sometimes there is a station set up for cutting, but I always bring my own cutting supplies.
5. Snacks for yourself and to share with others.
6. Drinks for yourself-the retreat location this year is providing us with water and tea. They will also have other drinks available for sale.
7. Extra lighting, such as an Ott light, if you think you may need it.
Other tips:
1. Wear comfortable clothes! This is the time for yoga pants, comfy shirts, and flip flops! I would always bring a sweater, just in case it is too chilly in the room, but wear a short sleeved light weight shirt underneath, just in case it is too hot. In a room of 40 women...somebody is going to be too hot or too cold! Same idea for shoes--you may want some fluffy socks along.
2. Bring at least three projects to work on. You may finish faster than you think. You may get bored. I even bring handwork, just in case I get tired of sewing on my machine and want to sit and visit.
3. Don't be so task oriented that you miss out on the social aspect of the retreat! I am notorious for doing this...and, in the past, I have missed out on getting to know the others attending the retreat. Walk around and see what others are working on. Introduce yourself to those that you haven't met.
4. Take time to get up and walk around for at least 5 to 10 minutes every hour. Your body will thank you! The retreat location this year is within a block of the Quilters Cottage in Kearney, so you can easily walk over to stretch your legs and see what's going on over there!
What goes on:
1. Fun, fun, fun!
2. An opportunity to see all kinds of tastes in fabrics and lots of different projects for inspiration.
3. Demos--this year there is one on Thursday night, a trunk show and demo on Friday night at the Quilters Cottage, and a demo on Saturday night.
4.Fabric exchanges--we bring 10" squares with an assigned theme or color to exchange with everyone else. Last year we did black and yellow. The goal is to make a quilt with the squares and bring it to the retreat the next year for show and tell. Our colors this year are teal and lavender.
5. Block exchange-we each bring a 12 inch block, put our names in a hat, and the winner goes home with all the blocks! Our theme last year was "Kansas Troubles" and this year it is "30's prints"--I hope I win!
5. Flexibility of schedules--come and go as you please. Go to the quilt store to do some shopping, go out to lunch and supper with others, stay and work away through meals, go back to your hotel to get a nap...you are away from home and the usual responsibilities! Enjoy yourself!
On a more personal level...I always bring way more than I could possibly finish! My attention span is pretty short, so I bring 5 or 6 projects to work on. Some people bring one thing to work on for the entire time, planning to finish it at retreat. Each to her own!
Here are some pics of the things I have been working on lately, and that I will bring to continue at retreat. I am teaching classes on all three projects this summer, and giving a demo on Friday night using the Quick Curves Ruler from Sew Kind of Wonderful.
|Metro Rings
|Metro Medallion
|Urban Candy
In addition to these projects, I have a hexi stack and whack, and an heirloom linens applique quilt that I hope to work on enough to make it worth bringing them! I am so excited---Can't wait to see everyone!

Farmers still waiting for flooding cash
Told they must sign forms waiving their right to sue
Three years after their lands were artificially flooded due to the operation of the Shellmouth reservoir, about six dozen western Manitoba farmers are still awaiting payment from the province.
And they're accusing the government of using intimidation tactics, requiring they sign forms waiving their right to sue before their claims are processed.
The province says there is no intimidation. It just wants farmers to know that under provincial law the farmers can't receive assistance from certain programs and then sue the government.
"I think it's an absolute disgrace," said Virden farmer Keith Pearn, of the way he and his fellow producers have been treated.
Steve Ashton, minister responsible for the Emergency Measures Organization, which is administering the compensation program designed especially for farmers living downstream of the reservoir, admitted this week it will still be months before farmers are paid.
He once promised payments would go out by spring 2013.
Technical issues relating to determining how much flooding would have occurred naturally in the area and how much occurred because of the regulation of the dam have "proved to be more complex than we anticipated," Ashton said.
When farmers do finally get paid -- the government's new estimate is this will occur by the end of August -- it's unclear how much they stand to gain.
The government would not say how much it expects the program to cost. Ashton said the amount is open-ended and depends on the results of what has been an already laborious application process that involves provincial staff visiting each producer. The province said it also did extensive technical studies to determine whether artificial flooding had occurred and where it occurred.
Ashton said there were only "three to five days" of artificial flooding in the region in both 2011 and 2012 that can be attributed to the operation of the dam. (The government will compensate farmers for both years at the same time.)
The Shellmouth reservoir holds back water to prevent flooding to communities along the Assiniboine River as far east as Winnipeg. When the river is low, water is released from the dam for use by towns and irrigators.
Stan Cochrane, who farms at Oak Lake, 50 kilometres west of Brandon, said Wednesday farmers are not expecting a lot from the program.
He said ad hoc payments made to farmers in the past were more effective.
He said he and several other producers are reluctant to sign the waivers before they know how much the program might pay out. The province says the purpose of the "acknowledgement and consent form" is simply to apprise farmers they can't both collect program money and sue. It does not prevent them from suing if they don't like what's offered. But the farmers aren't so sure.
The NDP government introduced legislation in 2006 requiring farmers operating downstream of the Shellmouth dam and reservoir be compensated for losses due to artificial flooding. The act did not come into force until early 2011.
It took the government until November 2012 to announce artificial flooding had indeed occurred in the area in both 2011 and 2012, triggering a compensation payment.

- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 1 very ripe plantain, (see Ingredient note) or sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 2 cups water
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
- 2 4-ounce cans diced green chiles
- 1 15-ounce can refried beans, preferably black beans
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until just browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pot. Add onion, plantain (or sweet potato), bell pepper, cumin, pepper, salt and cinnamon and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add orange juice, increase heat to high, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute.
- Stir in water and black beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and plantain are tender, 10 to 14 minutes. Stir in chiles, refried beans and the pork along with any accumulated juices. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and the pork is just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Ingredient Note: Plantains are a starchy, less-sweet relative of the banana. They are typically sold underripe, with yellow skin, but are best when the skin is almost completely black. Buy underripe plantains about one week in advance and ripen on the counter.
