"Excellent value for business travelers on the go"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
This hotel lives up to its expectations. It's clean and quiet in a very convenient locale. Complimentary in-room Internet service and morning breakfast in the lobby area are much appreciated as a business traveler. Room is small, but not unlike hotels in other major cities, and the room is cleaned and refreshed daily. Excellent overall value and would stay there again.
"Nice Stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
The hotel is very convenient for Tokyo Disney and Disney Sea but had to take a bus to the airport, which is about an hour drive and cost $24 per person. It was across the street from the Disney Train which gave us access to the subway for getting around in Tokyo.
"Great Hotel..."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
One of my best hotel experiences in Japan. The staff were first rate, the room was clean, it's a great location with many things to do, and the view from the lobby on the 13th floor is spectacular. A little expensive, but not prohibitive all things considered.

Stayed one night for business. Modern looking for price. Single standard rm is very small, but typ tokyo. Friendly staff and quiet and convenient location near train station and somewhat decent restaurants. Would stay for short term again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very close to my company's headquarters"
Stayed May 18-22 (2013) for business travel (very close to my company's headquarters). The hotel was clean. the room was clean and the bed (including the cover and the pillow) was very comfortable. The staff was efficient and helpful, but not necessarily warm or friendly - so first time travelers to Japan may misinterpret this efficiency for being […] a bit cold. My room was clean - but very compact - maybe too compact (no closet to hand clothes, just some hangers for four pegs on the wall). I am unaccustomed to these small 'single' rooms in Tokyo hotels, but first-time travelers to Japan may find these rooms too small and may want to book a 'double' or at least a semi double. OVERALL comment. Good hotel if you need to be in this corner of Tokyo for business. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Location"
The hotel was a little bit older but had an awesome location. I had a JR pass and the JR Tamchi station was about a 5 minute walk. There was a major bank next to the train station for fair currancy exchange rates and there are many restaurants, convenience stores and drinking places all near by. The JR Yamanote line is at the station and can take you […] to the many sightseeing locations (Tokyo, Shinjuku, Ueno, Akihabara).This is also one of the very few hotels that I stayed at that was flexible with my check-in and I was willing to pay 15 dollars per hour for early check in. It was a relief especially after taking the Shinkansen from Kyoto and in need of a rest and shower. The hotel is also very easy to find with a vibrant location.

"You get what you pay for in the positive sense"
Within walking distance to Tamachi train station. Good cost to performance ratio. Rooms are clean and the service is much more than acceptable. They have a guest only lounge where you can relax. The lounge also has free computers available to surf the Internet. Free in-room Internet is nice, too. The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch, […] but not dinner. However, there are many dining options nearby. Only negative is the size of the room, but it average size by Japanese standards. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good for sleeping and minimizing city travel time"
Your typical Tokyo business hotel. Quite new with very good upkeep. Not really located around anything interesting but it's about a 5 minute walk to Tamachi station on the Yamanote Line which should be good for tourists.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel in a Good Location"
I enjoyed my 2 week stay here. The hotel is modern and clean. My only compliant was the bad smell in the bathroom. The bathroom was clean but the smell would not go away, it seemed to come from the sewer or inside the wall. The hotel's solution was to spray deodorizer, which obviously does not correct the problem. Despite this, I would stay here ag […] ain. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Small but comfortable - 2 Week Stay"
The hotel and room have a very nice interior. The rooms are small but normal for Tokyo. The only problem I had was a sewer type odor in the bathroom that would not go away. The bathroom was very clean but the odor was always there (maybe from the drains?). Their solution was to spray deodorizer but it didn't help. The odor was only in the bathroom, […] not the rest of the room. Keeping the bathroom door shut was sufficient. I may stay here again as it's a 5 min walk to Tamachi Station and a nice quiet neighborhood. Breakfast was not worth 1500 Yen. Front desk staff spoke a little English and was very helpful. There is very little space to hang clothing (no closet) if you are staying more than a couple of days. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Value for money"
Convenient hotel for business or leasure. Excellent breakfast buffe with both japanese and continental choices. Room small but well equiped and clean. Close to subway and small restaurants and barsGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great place"
Great place with modern design, no complaints. As an american, the room was smaller than is typical in the US (probably similar for all hotels here), yet big enough. Breakfast was excellent - buffet with wide selection of western and Japanese food for 1500 yen (~$19 USD). About five minutes from Tamichi station, so getting to places was easy.Genuine Expedia guest review
Overall the hotel was ok and I stayed here for 3 nights. There were no problems or issues until the final evening when on the floor that I was staying there was a room where several people had grouped together and were drinking. I arrived back at my room around 9pm and started to work online. There was noise coming from the room (please note this room […] was on the opposite side of the corridor and 3 rooms down) but I thought I would let it pass. Occasionally the noise was more shouting and coming from the corridor outside the room. At one point it got too loud that I couldn't think and I went outside and asked the 4 Japanese Salary men if they could keep the noise down politely. They apologized went back into their room and it was quieter for about 15 minutes - please note this was quieter but not quiet..! Then it became very loud and rowdy and it was now 10:30pm. I went and knocked on the door and again politely asked that they tone it down. I gave up at 11pm and called the reception and at about 11:30 the party was broken up. Not a great night to end the trip. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Excellent location. Tamachi Station is great and very nearby. The hotel is clean, modern, very quiet and has the very excellent Bonsalute Cafe. Well worth it. Our next visit to Japan will be at Hotel Gracery Tamachi for sure. The Staff was friendly, professional and full of smiles. Subarashi.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel Gracery Tamachi - A perfect little hotel"
The hotel was perfect for a business traveler as it was in a central part of Tokyo right by several restaurants, stores and the Tamachi train station. The room was small by American standards, but big enough that you would not feel cramped. The internet connection was fast and easy to use. My only negative is that it did not have American TV channels, […] I would have liked to watch something other than anime while in my room. :) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"solid choice for experienced traveller"
good location for people who know tokyo well. probably less so for tourists or first time visitors to tokyo. rooms are adequately comfortable for the city and price. would stay again myself for longer stays to save on costs vs. more famous hotels.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Tamachi Gracery"
If convenience is something you desire, as well as a well spoken staff, look no further. Rooms are very clean, the hotel is very easy to find from the Tamachi Station. The neighborhood is relatively quiet, easy to find food and convenience stores. The rooms are a bit small, but this is a business hotel with a low price. HD tv's internet, refrigerator, […] everything is provided. Ask for an iron and board if you need it. Vending machines located on every floor. Overall, I would go here again considering price and convenience Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Good Hotel"
The hotel is modern and clean and very well located close to the Tamachi station. So it is easy to reach from the airport and easy to get around Tokyo too. Personal speak enough English to help you in your staying and if you like to eat out of the hotel there is a fairly good number of other restaurant close by the hotel. I will definitely stay at this […] hotel again if I will come back to Tokyo. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"good location, good hotel"
5 min walk to tamachi station, which is very convenient station to then move around Tokyo. Very calm area at night, but still plenty of places to eat, etc. Hotel quality was good, slightly small room, but with everything you need, big bathroom. Wired internet in the rooms, wifi in the lounge area (range was small, not enough for my smartphone, but ok […] for laptop). Loung had also 3 laptops for guests to use and a nice massage chair. Didn't use the restaurant, but they offered buffet at breakfast, lunch and dinner. TV in room was only in japanese (could pay extra for extra channels), but you dont really go to tokyo to watch TV in your room!! Would stay there again Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"decent hotel. would stay again"
Gracery was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff was nice and spike decent English, which was very necessary for me. There was not however a dresser, cabinet, or anyplace to either unpack our store dirty clothes. I had to keep my dirty clothes on the floor until I had room in my bag. The chair at the desk was very uncomfortable and made […] out hard for me to get work done from the room. I would stay there again, but I'd probably look elsewhere first.

"This is it!!!"
This hotel is amazing, the location is really good, its next to the JR Yamanote line and that train line is all you need to explore Tokyo on the go. The hotel cleanness was top notch. The rooms are tiny but very comfortable, you will feel in a five star hotel that has been shrunken up. You won't be next to the party scene or any night life, but a cab […] to Roppongi will cost maximun 20 USD. I would go back to this hotel in a heart beat. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Buffet de petit déjeuner pas intéressant pour ceux qui veulent quelque chose de léger en début de journée.

Et veldig greit hotell med gratis wi-fi, god frokost og overall god service. Rommene kan være litt små dersom man er 2 eller flere, men som en lonesome traveler gikk det veldig fint. Wi-fi'en kan være litt ustabil til tider, men det faktum at de har gratis wi-fi både på rommene og i lobbyen føler jeg overstyrer dette. 10 minutters gange fra Tamachi […] station dersom man vet veien. Så og si lydisolerte vinduer gjorde at jeg ikke hørte et knyst fra noenting utenfra, dog det er et lite minus at vinduene ikke kan åpnes.. Men det var ikke et problem for meg siden hotellet har et svært bra air-conditionsystem. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

호텔은 아주 깨끗하고, 방은 도쿄의 호텔답게 작습니다만 두명이 세미더블에 묵기에는 충분합니다. 파자마도 갖추어져 있고, 핸드폰 충전기까지 있습니다만, 아이폰 5용 케이블은 없으니 참고하세요. 110v 이기 때문에 돼지코를 반드시 가져가셔야 합니다. JR선에 있는 명소를 찾기에 위치가 아주 좋습니다. 서쪽으로 신주쿠, 동쪽으로 우에노까지 거의 15분~20이내에 가실 수 있습니다. 호텔 주위로는 로손 편의점이 2개나 있고, 몇군데 주점이 있습니다만, 타마치 역에서 미타역쪽으로 가셔서 길건너시면 미타역 상점가에 이자카야들이 잘 되어 있습니다. 전체적으로 아주 깨끗하고, 편리합니다.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Don't Traumatize Your Puppy
By Melissa Knopper
While severe abuse can lead to more disastrous, lifelong problems — such as biting and aggression — veterinarians say that it's the more subtle traumas that cause the most common behavioral problems. If a puppy endures rough handling by a groomer, or faces negative forms of punishment, like a choke chain, it can grow up to be a difficult dog.
Fortunately, these smaller traumas often can be reversed — especially if the owner seeks help from a professional trainer or animal behaviorist.
Too often, Hughes says, owners will yank on the leash, yell at their puppy or hit their dog. Some people still think it's OK to rub the puppy's nose in its urine if it has an accident inside.
"If you do this, puppies learn to fear you," Hughes explains. But they don't learn much else. "They know you are angry, but they don't know why," she adds.
A better approach would be to notice that your puppy needs to go, let it out and then give it tons of praise and a treat when the puppy successfully goes to the bathroom outside.
"It's all about positive reinforcement," Hughes says. In fact, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior endorses this approach (using positive rewards instead of negative techniques) in its new statement on punishment. For details, visit this page.
The wisest puppy owners start their dog in obedience training right away, instead of waiting until a problem arises and trying to correct it after the fact.
For many puppies, the first grooming appointment can be traumatic. When people come at them with clippers and start trimming around their eyes and ears, young dogs can become fearful. To prevent this reaction, owners need to prepare their puppies beforehand.
"We teach the owners to rub their puppy's gums and to handle their puppy's ears and paws, and to do this with a lot of positive reinforcement," says Sheldon Rubin, DVM, of Blum Animal Hospital in Chicago. "That way, the puppy knows that if someone touches its ears, it's not a negative thing."
At home, clipping nails too short is a common mistake. For more information on the correct way to do it, see healthypet.com.
Rubin suggests giving lots of praise, hugs and treats before and after the first grooming session. The same goes for veterinarian visits. "The animals should be excited to go there," Hughes says. "If you make it a positive experience, they'll be happy to go."
Insight and tips on animal behavior from Sophia Yin, DVM: "Ask Dr. Yin"
Experts at the East Bay Animal Hospital in California offer a great primer on socializing your puppy so that it will get used to city noises, new pets and children that are encountered at home or out in the world.
"If you start out with a puppy," Rubin says, "you have a great deal to do with its social life and how it's going to interact with people and other animals."

Bowling Green firefighters were called to the scene as flames erupted and smoke poured out of one of the hangars Saturday morning.
They say a battery charger was connected to a van inside the hangar when the flames sparked.
They quickly knocked down the fire that destroyed the van.
The Airport's Manager says part of the hangar and about 10 airplanes sustained some smoke damage.
However, he's glad it wasn't worse.
"It's very scary because immediately, you're thinking about the personal property of the people who rent these particular t-hangars from you and then, you're also thinking about what's inside of the those hangars, it's very dangerous for the Bowling Green Fire Department because each one of these airplanes are loaded with fuel typically," says Robert Barnett, the Airport Manager at Bowling Green Warren County Regional Airport.
Fire crews are still trying to figure out the exact cause of the fire.
No one was hurt.

Holiday Slimming Tips From Bruno Schiavi, Plus Giveaway!
Because very few of us have the time or money for a personal trainer this season, we enlisted Australian lingerie expert Bruno Schiavi, the designer behind the Dr. Rey Shapewear collaboration (his celeb clients include Kelly Rutherford, Carmen Electra, Halle Berry and Janet Jackson, to name a few), to offer up some quick slimming tips for looking great at all of those holiday soirees (a.k.a. cookie conventions). Read them, and find out how to score one of three Dr. Rey Shapewear sets, below!
Tip 1: Accentuate your best asset! If you have great legs, show them off. If you have a great bust line, make it work for you. You will feel confident about your appearance if you spend as much time focusing on your assets as you do hiding your figure flaws!
Tip 2: As mentioned, if your legs are your best feature, forego wearing long, floor-length dresses and opt for shorter, mid-thigh dresses. To elongate your legs, pair the dress with a simple heel. Just remember: An outfit should have one focal point, so if you want to draw attention to the leg, make sure the rest of the outfit is simple and not competing for attention.
Tip 3: Dress in one color or tone from head to toe, to elongate the body and appear taller and thinner. The deeper the color, the more slimming. Black, gray, navy and chocolate are, of course, great base tones.
Tip 4: Create a variety of different looks with your simple black dress by pairing it with fun jewelry and accessories. Great accessories (such as Kelly Rutherford's bold, red pumps [below]), oversized necklaces and big bangles can help detract from problem areas!
Your Secret Weapons:
Dr. Rey's High Waist Sculpted Bottom Brief: accentuates your natural assets and your tiny waistline while controlling the tummy bulge that often expands during the Holiday season.
Dr. Rey's Strapless Body Briefer: wear under your dress to smooth problem areas and help further accentuate your waistline
Enter for a chance to win one of three Dr. Rey Shapewear sets, including both the Dr. Rey High Waist Sculpted Bottom Brief and Dr. Rey Strapless Body Briefer, along with the Dr. Rey Deep Plunge Bodysuit (ARV of each Grand Prize: $136), by leaving a comment on ANY All the Looks Insider blog post.
The contest closes at 11:59 pm EST on December 31, 2009, with three lucky winners chosen at random from the eligible entries. And remember – entering the same comment over and over again will not increase your chance of winning, so please be fair and comment appropriately (no need to include sizes in the post; winners will be asked to provide sizes upon winner notification).

International Student Health InsuranceManitoba Health Insurance is available free to students and their family members if they have a study permit valid for more than six months from the date that Manitoba Health Insurance is applied for. Application for Manitoba Health can be made at the Manitoba Health offices at 300 Carlton St., Winnipeg where a MBHealth card will be issued while you wait. Application can also be made in St. Pierre-Jolys at the Bilingual Service Centre 427 Sabourin Street. Coverage will start on the same date as the "date of issue" shown on the student's study permit. Students may be billed for health services provided before receipt of the health card, however, Manitoba Health will reimburse the costs. International students not qualifying for Manitoba Health (i.e. those without a study permit) will be enrolled with a student health insurance called StudentGuard Standard. This student health insurance provides benefits resembling Manitoba Health (up to a limit of $2,000,000) as well as providing additional coverages for situations particular to international students (see Benefits section below). International students who qualify and are registered with Manitoba Health are required to enroll with StudentGuard Plus, which provides the same additional coverages as mentioned in the Benefits section below onto their MBHealth. It is mandatory for all international students coming to Providence to purchase one of these two StudentGuard health plans, regardless if they already have personal travel health insurance. The StudentGuard Standard plan is also available as optional health coverage for spouses and children of international students. The StudentGuard Plus plan is only available to registered students of Providence. Enrollment and CostsAll new international students with study permits will be enrolled with MBHealth upon their arrival. There is no fee levied to students for MBHealth. These same students will then be enrolled in the mandatory StudentGuard Plus plan as described above at a rate (2012-13) of $25 per month. Students without study permits will be enrolled in the mandatory StudentGuard Standard plan upon their arrival at Providence. Fees for this plan (2012-13) will be $1.45 per day or approximately $174.00 for one semester (September 1 to December 31 or January 1 to April 30). Students planning to stay in Canada and register for the subsequent fall semester can continue their coverage over the summer holidays. Married students coming to Providence with family members may optionally purchase StudentGuard Standard for their spouse and children at a rate (2012-13) of $1.45 per individual. Students must complete the StudentGuard application form (available from the International Student Services Coordinator) for either the StudentGuard Standard or the StudentGuard Plus plan and decide for how long coverage is required. BenefitsStudentGuard Standard includes the same coverage as with Manitoba Health up to a limit of $2,000,000. In addition extra coverages are included to reflect the needs of the international student such as: eye examinations, ambulance costs, paramedical services (chiropractor, massage therapist), prescription medications, dental work (accidental injuries only), out of Canada coverage, family transportation to Canada in cases of medical emergencies, and repatriation to home country in case of a sickness or death. The StudentGuard Plus program covers only those health services not already covered by Manitoba Health and is limited to the additional coverages listed above. Further information is available from the International Student Services Coordinator. |

Hi everyone!
Hello everybody!
My name is James, i'm a chef in the states who is extremely interested in working in Antarctica. I've got a ton of reading to do around here and on the continent itself, but can i get some ideas/pointers on the place to go to get my Antarctic occupational search rolling? Nice to make everyones aquaintance- -James |
Re: Hi everyone!
It's too late for summer 2008-09, which has already started, and probably too late for Winter 2009 (though there may yet be a chance). Currently, support positions are provided by Raytheon Polar Services Company, and food service jobs are subcontracted out to NANA. If you are really interested, start talking to the people who might hire you. RPSC is located in Centennial, Colorado (a suburb south of Denver), NANA is officially located in Alaska but most of the personnel are elsewhere.
If you are looking towards anything after Winter 2009 you should make your contacts with the people who have been to Antarctica over and over again, rather than with the company as such, as Raytheon is coming to the end of a 10 year contract, and the winner of the next 10 year contract has not yet been announced. Expect it to take at least 3 months - and probably more - to physically qualify and get all the paperwork completed. In an emergency they can act more quickly, but they don't like to have to. Antarctica is quite remote, and I've known men who got off the plane at McMurdo and decided they had to leave on the next plane out. It's not the place to be if you need to have people around you, and because everyone can be in close quarters it's also not the place to be if that will make you irritable. However, there is a reasonable degree of privacy if you want it - just expect to see the same people many times over every day. If it still sounds good, go for it. Maybe I'll see you there. |
Re: Hi everyone!
Hi James and welcome
Alan is the expert around here on recent experience on US bases. The basics don't change though, you need to be able to enjoy and put up with others company whether it's your choice or not and also you need to be able to be self-contained and not "needy". You need to be flexible in your job and a team-player rather than an individualist. There are two parts to coping with living in Antarctica, one is about how you deal with the physical isolation and the practicalities of a cold environment. The other takes place in your head and deals with the way you cope mentally with isolated group living. It's not easy, but I've never met anyone who regretted going, the majority wouldn't have changed it for the world and it imprints itself on your heart and mind like no-where else for the rest of your life. |

Ann Arbor schools to dial up flu tracking; numbers not indicative of abnormal flu season
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com file photo
Absenteeism rates are not indicative of an abnormal flu season at Ann Arbor Public Schools, but reports of a national influenza epidemic have led the district to increase its tracking of flu-related absences.
Director of Communications Liz Margolis said on any given day last week, all of the district's buildings reported less than 5 percent of its students were absent or called in sick.
Rates of teacher absences were not available Friday, but Margolis said the district's human resources department reported rates appear normal with no increases. She said the district's nurses are watching teachers and students' health very closely.
Michigan health officials have reported four children have died from influenza already this flu season.
"We have seen a higher number of staff members than students (sick) but nothing that has caused us not to have subs or anything like that," Margolis said. "Our nurses have sent some staff home that have come back to work still coughing and showing symptoms."
She said this week, nurses reported five teachers at Huron High School were sent home after being considered not well enough yet to be around students.
"But that's all I've heard," Margolis said Friday.
The district currently employs nine school nurses who divide their time among Ann Arbor's 34 buildings. Nurses have at most four elementary schools or one secondary school and one elementary building assigned to them, Margolis said.
Nurses are in frequent contact with Margolis and central administration throughout flu season. Protocols are in place to monitor the illness among students. Main office staff at the elementary schools and attendance office staff at the high schools notify nurses when they start to see an uptick in the number of families reporting flu-like symptoms.
Starting in 2009 with the outbreak of the H1N1 flu virus, which disproportionately infected school-aged children, AAPS changed how it reported illness-related absences in PowerSchool, the district's attendance program, Margolis said. The district began asking parents to indicate whether their child was experiencing flu-like symptoms.
Ann Arbor then reports weekly the number of students who are absent due to illness to Washtenaw County Public Health, Margolis said.
Because national reports have indicated the U.S. currently is experiencing an above-average flu season and entire cities, such as Boston, have declared public health emergencies due to the flu, AAPS is taking extra precautions — just to be on the safe side.
Margolis said Superintendent Patricia Green has asked district administrators to start monitoring the schools' absenteeism rates on a weekly basis. Generally, the oversight of flu-related absences occurs at the building level, until a building reaches a situation where 20 percent of its student body is absent, then central administration takes a more active role in monitoring.
"And that's when we start talking about closing schools," Margolis said. "But it really depends on the school, and are we seeing classrooms with 10 kids out or more — there's a lot to be considered
"There were a couple of years where we had a building creeping up beyond that (20 percent absent rate). But we have not, in my 10 years with the district, ever closed a school for excessive absences," she said.
In 2009, AAPS designated one nurse to be the H1N1 nurse and to watch the district's cases of reported H1N1 influenza, Margolis said.
Washtenaw County Public Health epidemiologist Laura Bauman said health officials are mostly seeing the Type A influenza strain, or H3N2, the most severe strain, this year. Bauman said every flu season is unique, but generally this strain infects older adults.
"But I won't know for a few more weeks how it's really impacting children," she said. "What can happen is there is a little bit of a lull. The children were out of school. And then everybody is coming back to school and sharing all of the bugs they picked up over the holidays."
Whooping cough, norovirus, influenza — "There is a lot going on out there right now," Bauman said, adding schools are reporting their absences to County Public Health Friday and Monday, so she should have more data and information on how children are faring by mid- to end-of-the-week this week.
There have been 43 Washtenaw County residents hospitalized for the flu so far this season. Fifty-six percent of these residents have been 65 or older, 21 percent have been age 50 to 64 and the next most-infected age group has been 18- to 49-year-olds, Bauman said.
Ann Arbor Public Schools distributed hand sanitizer to every classroom, and elementary teachers, who also have sinks in their classrooms, have been instructed to make more designated times throughout the day for hand washing during the typical flu season, Margolis said.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported the national influenza death rate surpassed the "epidemic" threshold last week. And, as of Friday, Michigan health officials now have 338 confirmed cases of the flu, according to the Associated Press.

Signatures to Recall the Sixth Wisconsin Republican to be Filed Thursday
Number six: Robert Cowles (Green Bay). Six down, two to go!
Fifth Wisconsin Republican to be Recalled!
Number five is Alberta Darling (R-Milwaukee), the co-chair of the Joint Finance Committee! A little over 20,000 signatures were required; around 30,000 were collected.
Update: Volunteers and supporters can meet up here tomorrow.
To put this in historical context: only 4 Wisconsin legislators have been subjected to a recall campaign since the right to recall an elected state official became part of the Wisconsin Constitution in 1926. Protecting this right was part of the progressive platform in the early 1900s to bring direct democracy to voters – along with referenda, direct primary elections, and women's suffrage.
Today, residents in this district— a district that overwhelmingly supported Walker in November— will be filing the signatures to recall Sheila Harsdorf, a Republican who has held office (first in the Assembly, now in the Senate) since the late '80s.
The times they are a-changin…
Three Down, Five to Go
Signatures to recall Republican Luther Olsen will be filed with the Government Accountability Board today.
Tales From The Recall Trail (Part 3)
An outstanding diary from someone working to recall Republican Senator Alberta Darling. linked above.
One Down, Seven More To Go
Today, organizers will file the paperwork to recall the first of the Republican eight: Dan Kapanke (La Crosse)! Grassroots organizers collected more than 20,000 signatures in a mere 27 days, making it the fastest recall in Wisconsin history. The grassroots group will turn in the signatures they've collected (at 3:30 p.m., 212 E. Wash in Madison if you want to witness history), and the Government Accountability Board will have 31 days to review them. Kapanke can challenge any of the signatures during the first 10 days. Kapanke said earlier this month that the recall efforts would not deter him from standing with the governor and voting to ban collective bargaining.
Seven more to go! Get involved here: www.recalltherepublican8.com
On this date in 1954, a bipartisan, grassroots campaign to recall Senator Joe McCarthy began in Sauk City. Over 400,000 signatures needed to be collected in just 60 days in order to force a recall. Despite very few financial and organizational resources, the group was able to collect 335,000 signatures. Although the recall effort was unsuccessful, the Senate voted to censure McCarthy later that year.
Help make history this time around. Get involved.
Wisconsin GOP Using the Open Records Law to Intimidate Critics
A few days ago, UW-Madison Professor William Cronon wrote a thoughtful, well-researched op-ed for The New York Times.
The Republican Party of Wisconsin responded by filing an open records request for Cronon's emails (although they misspelled his name in the press release they issued). Specifically, they requested all emails "into and out of Cronon's state email account from January 1, 2011 to present which reference any of the following terms: Republican, Scott Walker, recall, collective bargaining, AFSCME, WEAC, rally, union, Alberta Darling, Randy Hopper, Dan Kapanke, Rob Cowles, Scott Fitzgerald, Sheila Harsdorf, Luther Olsen, Glenn Grothman, Mary Lazich, Jeff Fitzgerald, Marty Beil, or Mary Bell."
Cronon has started a blog about this issue and I would encourage you to check it out (it, too, is very thoughtful and well-written) and keep an eye on this story as it unfolds.
45 Days!
That's all we have left to collect the signatures required to recall the Republican 8! All hands on deck. Check out www.recalltherepublican8.com to get involved! There are volunteer opportunities on weekdays and the weekend, work that involves interacting with a lot of people and work that is more behind-the-scenes…you can find something that works well for you. You don't need to give a lot of time; even an hour or two here and there can be tremendously helpful.
Recall The Republican 8!
Your help is needed this weekend to help recall the Republican 8.
On both Saturday & Sunday, at 10 am and 2 pm each day, people will be meeting in the following locations to help gather signatures:
Robert Cowles (Green Bay/De Pere/Ashwaubenon)
1061 W. Mason St., Green Bay AND 132 South Main Street, Shawano
Alberta Darling (Milwaukee/North Shore suburbs)
2510 E Capitol Drive, Shorewood
Sheila Harsdorf (Hudson/River Falls)
800 Carmichael Rd., Hudson AND 321 N 2nd St, River Falls
Luther Olsen (Portage/Waupaca/Ripon)
813 W. Carroll St., Portage AND Waupaca Woods Shopping Mall at 825 W. Fulton St. AND 443 Scott St., Ripon
Randy Hopper (Fond du Lac/Oshkosh)
325 Trowbridge Drive, Fond du Lac, AND 748 Algoma Boulevard, Oshkosh
Dan Kapanke (La Crosse/Onalaska)
1307 Market Street, La Crosse
You can also check out my post (here) with brief answers to FAQs for more info. Make your voice heard!
Please note: I do not have any info on organizing for Grothman or Lazich yet, but will update if I find out.
Recall The Republican 8
Very brief answers to some of the questions I've been hearing most frequently regarding the recall efforts:
- Why only these 8? And why not the Governor? In WI., an elected official must be in office for 1 year before a recall can be initiated. The 8 Senators (Darling, Grothman, Olsen, Lazich, Hopper, Cowles, Kapanke, & Harsdorf) have been in office for the required time period, but the Governor has not.
- What happens now? The initial paperwork was filed on March 3rd, and the requisite number of signatures must now be collected and filed with the Government Accountability Board within 60 days.
- Do I have to live in one of the 8 districts in order to sign a recall form? Yes. You must live in the district of the Senator you wish to recall and be an eligible voter (note: you do not have to be registered to vote yet).
- How do I know if I reside in one these districts? You can find out who your representatives are here.
- How else can I help? Recall efforts require a tremendous amount of work. A lot of signatures have to be collected in a short amount of time. Head over to this website to find ways to get involved. You can help out with the organization and administrative aspects even if you don't reside in one of the districts in question.
If I missed something you have a question about, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer or help point you in the right direction of someone who can help you out!

South Africa's Beyrick De Vries, 20, will be riding high for days after living a moment of perfection at Sunset Beach during the Vans World Cup of Surfing today. In a late afternoon heat, on a triple overhead wave, De Vries scored the event's only perfect 10 to date for a huge, deep tube ride that has been tagged the best barrel ever surfed on Sunset's west peak during competition. The surf was absolutely perfect for most of the day, peaking with wave face heights of up to 25 feet and light offshore winds.
The Vans Triple Crown 2nd Jewel has tons of swell in the forecast. Expect to see fun to heavy Sunset surf through out the event. Tuesday has the round of 128 starting at 8am. Learn about past Champs and the contest with one click.
"Whether you are 8 or 80 years old, if you love to surf, you love getting barrelled; that's what we go into the water seeking each day and talk about each afternoon," explained Tony "Harro" Harrington, the project director.
"At its core, surfing is all about the barrel and now there is the technology to allow surfers to shoot and share their experiences from the very heart of waves. We'll be 'sharing the stoke' here at www.surfthebarrel.com and are overwhelmed at the amount of great barrels we already have lined up for the website kick off."
Tahiti's Michel Bourez has won the REEF Hawaiian Pro, the $40,000 prize purse, and takes an early lead of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing hydrated by vitaminwater®. Bourez, 27, built momentum through the earlier rounds of this competition and was clearly unstoppable by the final. He survived a late charge by Haleiwa local Fred Patacchia, 31, and was well clear of Jeremy Flores (France) and Dion Atkinson (Australia), who finished third and fourth respectively. The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing now moves north to Sunset Beach for stop No. 2: The Vans World Cup of Surfing, which will likely commence Tuesday.
Full story coming. Surf was 3-4' and real decent.
It has been five years since Tahiti's Michel Bourez scored the first major victory of his career here at the REEF Hawaiian Pro, but Haleiwa still holds a special place for him and continues to draw out his best. Despite unusually small surf for Hawaii at this time of year, Bourez put on a sterling performance today, closely followed by Dane Reynolds (USA), Adriano De Souza (Brazil), and Mick Fanning (Australia). The Reef Hawaiian Pro is the first of three events of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing hydrated by vitaminwater®.
It began a couple years ago as a CPR class. Sion Milosky had passed a few months prior and Kohl Christensen and Danilo Couto knew it was time to make big-wave surfing safer. In a barn on Kohl's North Shore property, they held the class and a couple dozen big-wave surfers left feeling more prepared than ever before. Last year, it expanded. They held an all day event at Turtle Bay and in addition to CPR, they learned rescue theory and had a chance to test it out in the water. This year, it grew even more. The two day event saw 60 surfers — including guys like John John Florence, Nic Lamb and Ben Wilkinson — spend a full day in the classroom and a full day in the water. With North Shore waters like a still pond and Kirk Passmore's death fresh on everyone's minds, legendary waterman Brian Keaulana had his students' full attention. And when class was dismissed on Wednesday evening, it was no exaggeration to say that the big-wave community is a whole lot safer.
Kelia Moniz (HAW) has won the Swatch Girls Pro China hosted by Wanning over Chelsea Williams (AUS) and by doing so, claimed her second consecutive ASP Women's World Longboard Title. For the third year in a row this event has crowned the ASP Women's World Longboard Champion, and also for the third year in a row the same two surfers have made the Final, with Williams winning in 2011, and Moniz taking it out last year.
US Blanks announced the release of the 10'8" BG blank, made possible through a partnership with famed Hawaiian surfboard shapers Eric Arakawa and Pat Rawson.
Eric Arakawa is the renowned head shaper for Hawaiian Island Creations (HIC) where he shaped boards for 3-time World Champion Andy Irons. Rawson helped start Local Motion surfboards in 1978 and has built boards for such notable surfers as Sunny Garcia, Mason Ho, and Jeremy Flores, among many others.

Kammeyer's been in jail since Monday after allegedly pulling a gun at a police officer at the West Valley police department. He was shot twice in the arm. Charges have not been filed in the case.
But in West Jordan, Kammeyer was charged with two counts of domestic violence and criminal mischief for an episode at his home Sunday night.
Thursday, Kammeyer appeared by video from the jail and told the judge he was "not guilty" to the three misdemeanor charges in West Jordan.
A friend of both Kammeyer and his wife spoke exclusively with ABC 4 about what happened.
"He had already moved out previously a week before," says the friend who did not want her name revealed. "And he showed up at the house on Sunday night around 9 p.m. He just walked in went into the computer room and N**** asked him 'what are you doing here?'"
The friend says the Kammeyer's were having marital problems and he wanted to move back in.
"He said (to his wife) this is my house and I am not leaving," says the friend.
The friend says Kammeyer who is on the sex offender registry was having problems finding a place to live and was living out of his car.
"He was tired of it and he wanted to go home and crawl in his bed," she says.
And when James Kammeyer stepped outside for a cigarette, the friend says the wife made a move.
"When she walked back in she locked him out of the house and he kicked the door and that's it," she says.
But she called police who arrived and settled the commotion.
The friend tells me the wife left with the children and Kammeyer stayed in his West Jordan home.
"I'm sad," she says. "He was my friend and you guys don't know him like I do."
The next day, Kammeyer drove his motorcycle to the West Valley police department.
"He knew the police department because that's where he had to report being a sex offender," she says. "He wasn't there to harm anybody. He wasn't there to shoot a cop."
But West Valley police had no idea of Kammeyer's intention when he showed up Monday at their police station.
"He pulled out a gun and was shot," she says.
The friend says Kammeyer and his wife had marital problems.
"He was a wonderful man," she says. "He was a good father. They never had domestic problems."
But after he was charged with domestic violence, Kammeyer's wife left the home with the children. The next morning police say Kammeyer showed up at the West Valley police station with a gun.
"It wasn't loaded," she says. "His purpose was to aim a gun at a cop so that he would be shot dead."
Suicide by cop it's called.
"He's an ex-marine," the friend says. "It goes against their code and also goes against his religious beliefs. He wouldn't go to heaven if he killed himself."
Kammeyer worked for the state as a computer specialist with the Department of Technical Services.
"I believe we were surprised and saddened by the events of that day," says Stephanie Weiss, a spokesperson for the agency.
Kammeyer's close friend says he worked for the agency for a dozen years.
Weiss wouldn't confirm that and wouldn't say anything about his performance at the job site.
"I can't say anything about that because it's currently under investigation," she says. "We are cooperating with police and I can't comment."
But Kammeyer's friend says he was an "intelligent man" and cared for people.
"He would give the shirt off of his back to anybody," she says. "He's a very, very nice guy and a lot of fun at that. But he just cracked."

Amur Tiger Conservation
The Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is one of the largest living cats in the world. It is one of the only tiger subspecies that is not in decline, and this is partly due to the assiduous conservation work being carried out to keep its populations stable. ZSL has been involved in Amur tiger conservation in the Russian Far East since 1995 and has been running a project in collaboration with Lazovsky State Nature Reserve since 2006 and with Zov Tigra National Park since 2011.
ZSL's Amur tiger conservation project is focused on population monitoring, anti-poaching efforts, and increasing education and awareness.
In 2007, we began using camera-traps on Lazovsky Reserve next to a hunting lease where soybeans are planted to increase ungulate densities for sport hunting. We chose this area because tigers frequently move back and forth between the reserve and Zov Tigra National Park which borders the hunting lease on the other side, potentially putting themselves at risk of poaching. In 2011 we expanded or work to include monitoring on the national park and as well. Our results provide information about tiger density, survival and reproduction in the area; information crucial for conservation work.
If we find evidence of good survival rates and stable tiger numbers, it will increase trust and improve the relations between the reserve and its neighbours. However, evidence of high mortality would suggest that our conservation practices are not working and that further actions must be taken to improve the protection of the tigers not only in the reserve but also on the lands nearby.
We hope that our presence on the hunting leases will deter tiger poaching if it is occurring, and that our contact with hunters during the project will give us a chance to build a relationship with them, which may also help reduce future tiger poaching. We now also have camera traps in the hunting lease and national park so the whole area is being monitored.
We also plan to increase awareness by consulting with local people and providing them with information on events in and around the reserve - with an emphasis on the tigers that live near the villages. We hope that the villagers will develop a sense of connection to and pride in 'their' local tigers and will want to help protect them.
For more information, please check out the links at the right of the page, including the project blog from Misha Goncharuk, a young Russian vet working on the project, as well as 2 camera trapping photostories.
This project is run by tiger biologist Linda Kerley and her husband Misha Borisenko, an expert wildlife tracker. Linda and Misha need more funds for buying camera traps and to keep the jeep running. If you would like to donate, your funds would be helping to secure a future for both Amur tigers and their smaller cousins, the Amur leopards.

Health and Human Biology
Health and Human Biology is an interdisciplinary concentration whose goals are to provide a rigorous foundation in the biological sciences with substantive course work in humanities and social sciences within a subfield of Human Health and Disease. The program includes: background courses, a biology core courses, a set of theme courses, and a Senior Capstone activity. Background courses provide the essential foundations in chemistry, mathematics, methods, and basic biology. These support the Biology core comprised of a flexible menu of intermediate and advanced courses. A required portion of the Biology core is Genetics, which is considered a cornerstone of human biology and its interface with other fields. The Biology core underscores the related coursework within the Health and Disease Theme. This course grouping is comprised of social science and humanities courses and must form a cohesive, thoughtful cohort. Suggested theme subfoci must be discussed and approved by an advisor. It is expected that these course selections will evolve over the course of the student's college career, as each semester's experience builds on the previous one. A senior year capstone course or experience should build on the program's theme.
Student Goals
Students in this concentration will:
- Understand the organization and function of basic biological systems
- Know the core mathematical and chemical principles relevant to biology and genetics
- Learn the ecology and population dynamics of at least one group of organisms
- Design a course of study around a theme or topic in health and human disease
- Know how to handle and interpret scientific data
- Engage in independent research
Click here for a list of concentration requirements. For instructions for declaring this concentration, please visit the Biology Undergraduate website.

Look inside any school, youth group, or local mall---it won't take long to notice the profound effect students have on each other. Leadership 101, written specifically for students, examines the heart of a godly leader so that students can cultivate their own God-given abilities to lead, both now and in the future.
How do you define leadership? What kind of leader are you? What kind of leader can you be? Can you be both a leader and a follower? You can get a handle on these and other crucial questions by wrapping your brain around Leadership 101. It focuses on the nuts and bolts of solid Christian leadership (prayer, service, communication, conflict management, mentoring, etc.) but also goes deep into the soul of leadership. In these pages you'll find out why leading isn't always what we expect---and how leaders aren't always who we expect them to be. You'll learn to integrate your heart with the skills of leadership. And you'll discover how Jesus, David, and others journeyed on the leadership path---so you can join them, too. This interactive guide also includes checklists, surveys, fill-in-the-blank questions, and journal exercises so you can take your own leadership pulse, identify the traits you want to live out, and record your thoughts and prayers right on the pages---which helps you put leadership into practice more quickly and effectively. Just remember: Leadership isn't a job…it's a journey.

While the real estate agent is at the center of most real estate transactions, it takes a team of professionals working together to get the deal done. The team often includes a lender, title insurer, natural hazard disclosure provider , termite inspection & treatment service, home warranty insurer, contractor / handyman services, home inspector and the list can go on but these are the primary participants.
Every service provider works hard to earn the agent's business. Visit any real estate office and you'll see sales reps from all types of companies competing for the attention and business from the agents. Many of the reps leave pens, pads, calendars and coffee mugs for the agents – and most of those items go unnoticed because they're so common and expected.
To set yourself apart and be noticed by the agents why not help the agent create a personal brand by offering a custom email address with a premium name like email@example.com or email@example.com. As part of your marketing strategy for building new business from local agents why not use this as an incentive to schedule time and present your services. Do you think you would have better success in offering a professional email than you would in offering a free mug? Yes, I think you would too.
The details in managing the emails are easy in that we provide the domain names and the hosting as a turnkey package. You simply login to your control panel and within 5 seconds create an email forward that routes email from the new email (email@example.com) to their existing email (firstname.lastname@example.com). Our hosting accounts can literally support thousands of email redirects so there is no limit to what you can do with this strategy. (I can't believe how many agents are still using @Google.com, @ Yahoo.com and @AOL.com email addresses. Anyone with these types of email addresses would DEFINATELY appreciate and welcome your call and special offer.)
So if you are looking for a way to reach more agents and stand out from your competition contact us today and we can have your account set up in hours and you can begin recruiting new customers by the end of the day!
To you success,
P.S. – Be sure to check with your local guidellines for agent incentives. Call with questions regarding the actual cost per agent to stay under your annual budget amount.

Garrison Keillor
A Prairie Home Companion features comedy sketches, music, and Garrison Keillor's signature monologue, "The News from Lake Wobegon."
Composer ID:
Saturday, November 30, 2013 5:00pm"It's been chilly, but then we expected it would be. It's been clear sunny days, cold, clear nights. You can look up and see the stars up there." Lake Wobegon celebrates Thanksgiving by sharing a few stories from years past, the Tollefsons prepare a turkey using their grandmother's recipe, and Pastor Liz's boyfriend attends a service at the Lutheran Church.
Saturday, November 23, 2013 5:00pm"It was the most beautiful snowfall in yesterday morning in Lake Wobegon. It was just gorgeous, it was like something out of a children's book." The town pledges for the annual "Big Plunge" fundraising event, Lake Wobegon High School students learn about owls, and a local English teacher makes an enriching discovery while walking in the woods, in a monologue from February 2013.
Saturday, November 16, 2013 5:00pm"It's gotten cold up there, just genuinely cold, and we can tell it's cold because the teenagers are now putting on jackets and scarves and mittens and hats and so forth." Fred contemplates giving up furnace repair and moving to Texas, Lake Wobegon Lutheran Church prepares for its lutefisk dinner, Myron has knee replacement surgery, and Pastor Liz receives a strange call for help in the middle of the night.
Saturday, November 9, 2013 5:00pm"The big wind came along this last week and blew all of the leaves down, so there's no more illusion that we might get another, y'know, week of warm weather." Deer hunting season kicks off in Lake Wobegon, Daryl Tollerud and Roger Hedlund head to Carl Krebsbach's hunting shack where they share a few stories, and rumors fly about Pastor Liz's new boyfriend.
Saturday, November 2, 2013 6:00pm"We had our big frost and it turned cold. All the flowers are dead. They say we'll get some snow before Thanksgiving." Donnie Krebsbach heads to Minneapolis to visit his in-laws and his son and a distraught girl arrives in town to learn more about her uncle (who, it turns out, was secretly engaged to Tina Lundeen).
