Now that this year's election is over, we shall have 5 of the seven of the Village of Shorewood trustees who as incumbents have run with no opposition or only partial opposition (2 against only one challenger in one case). Am I wrong on this?
This means that these trustees do not have the affirmation of a constituency. But as candidates elected at large, they of course have responsibility to all of the citizens of Shorewood even those who would oppose them. Otherwise why are these people in office? But does this odd situation give us real and appropriate representation?
Toward building community.
At a recent meeting of influential people concerned with bringing gentleness, comfort and continued meaningfulness to the older adults of our community, everyone seemed to be agreed on the fact the elders "shall always be with us."
Thank God for that. These are parents, grandparents and great grand parents. No one else would be on this earth had it not been for them.
The swooping hawk.
As spring grows near, the birds seem to become more sparse at the bird feeder. Of course, I've always been shocked when such a beautiful bird as the hawk swoops down and takes one of the birds that was busily crowding the feeder.
Neither am I pleased with the woodpecker who insists on drilling holes into the cedar trim. But although I'm just as pleased with Shorewood as I am with the nature that surrounds me, I also have similar annoyances with specific species of programs of our village as well I do with certain aspects of nature.
Glorifying the mundane.
Architecture is a special art that only few manage to master.
Quite a few years ago after I came to Milwaukee, I became the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's first university planner. I wanted the president of the university to name our institution the "University of Milwaukee." Obviously that did not happen. Many universities in Europe are named after the city in which they're located. In some cases the city was named after the university.
A PLUNK-IT-DOWN-BUILDING, not good enough for Shorewood. Let's take a new look.
I don't know at what point in the redevelopment process where the impact of the architecture, its size form and style is considered, and how recommendations as to these and other features are made within the whole village's development process.
I would think that fairly early when the type of use and the manner in which it is to be situated on the site, which is at its early proposal stage, would be the time to consider architecture as well as its relationship to the site and surrounding features.
The "design review board" is the last rampart, perhaps the only defense.
THIS BOARD is of course under political pressure to yield; yet it was designed and established to take this process out of politics.
McCain, the straight shooting cuss.
I don't believe that anyone running for president is any better than any one else. That's democracy.
I've got used to the idea that "General" McCain, or is it Commander-n-chief McCain will be our next president. The conservatives are going to be mad as hell after he gets into the White House. The liberals will join the conservatives in their grief.
Hillary not an Iron Lady nor Gentle Lady, but a Tough Cookie.
I was sure that Hillary had the Democratic candidacy coming and going when the primaries started. And I was sure that she'd beat any of the Republicans. But it's been a tough battle and she's pretty unlikely now to beat her primary opponent. I think, if she were the Democratic candidate that she could beat McCain, the Republican.
Senator Hillary Clinton stands, in public appearance somewhere between former Prime Ministers Margret Thatcher of Britain and Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan, one being the Iron Lady and the other a Gentle Lady. Hillary, I think would come across as a Tough Cookie.
Obama and the sins of our fathers.
Nothing is certain in politics, but it does appear rather clear at this time that Senator Barack Obama is going to be running against McCain for president in the general election.
It also appears that the democratic party has been strongly favored as was Senator Hillary Clinton. So the wind is at the backs of the democrats but this does not mean that Barack Obama is guaranteed to win.
Voting our emotions.
What makes an ideal person for president?
Race and gender make no difference. I'd want someone as intelligent as Thomas Jefferson, as inspired as Tom Payne and as thoughtful and principled as Abe Lincoln. In more recent times that person should be someone as strong as Margret Thatcher, as sympathetic as Benazir Bhutto and as wise as Indria Gandhi.
"The validity of their own sentiments."
Dreams and rationalities. Like most artist, I'm a dreamer.
And my artistry is not the superior type, primarily because it cannot be judged, as the final project is never final and it produces public things over a relative long period of time, over periods longer than building single structures.
Last night, Friday at 8:30 pm, I found myself on Oakland Avenue, making a rather emergency trip to Pick-n-Save. Of course one soon becomes aware of the construction obstacles.
It seemed rather dark as I think of it. I suppose there weren't any lights on the east side of the street nor did I see any people on the sidewalks. The neon lights made it rather spooky.
Why do they do it?
Village Board members give a great deal of time in the work of managing our community's affairs and I often wonder way they do it. Few citizens appreciate the time that it takes away from their families and businesses. I'm sure that many other citizens would also want to show their appreciation for their efforts.
I've been a citizen who has watched the Village in process for some time and marvel at all the work that gets done. Now that we have a vacancy after an annouced resignation, I hope that it is left open until the next election so we can get some people to run for the office in opposition to each other and voted for by the people.. There have been too many who have been unopposed for local political positions. An appointment at this time would re-enforce the trend of the unelected.
What makes a city and what is its purpose?
The atom of the city is the individual human being in the same way that he/she was the atom of the village and of the small town.
It takes a village.
Only recently have most Americans begun to fall in line with the growing evidence that global warming is a reality.
Here in Shorewood, we have yet to come to grips with the fact that we are also experiencing an age revolution and that families are having fewer children.
Election or "self-pollination politics?"
Democratic governments often engage in appointments to administrative positions but an appointment to an elected position has a sort of political incestuous character to it or at least attains some of that essence.
Governors will fill in representative or senatorial seats by temporary appointments until the next election. However, these appointments are not viewed with the same authority or legitimacy as those that have earned their seats in opposed elections. The election of our senators rather than their appointment became an important step in the evolution of our democracy.
The last decade has shown us that we've been living in a world of rapidly growing technological gadgets that are also rapidly changing our ways of living.
I've gotten used to someone talking behind me in the grocery store. I used to turn around thinking someone was asking me questions. Now I know it's someone with a cell phone getting instructions as to which product to buy off the shelf.
On the edge of time.
Shorewood has a past and a future. This is connected by a small moving strip that we call the present.
The community's reality is within this narrow strip and in its movement. We may speak of plans and visions of the future, but reality and life remain within this limited strip, on the edge of time.
Is Shorewood the only reality?
War can be justified in many ways. Yet its main purpose is destruction. The destruction of villages and cities and of those who live in them, an attempt to destroy the culture of the opponent and the superimposition of the victor's culture.
War is meant to kill human beings, to produce dead and the near-dead.
How do they do that?
How can one elected to office as an at-large candidate really determine his/her constituency and if that is not possible then how does that official represent those who elected him/her to office? How does one appointed to an elective office determine his/her constituency?
In Shorewood at the present time both School Board and Village Board members have been candidates elected at-large, that is without representing a particular area or group other than supposedly all members of the community.
What will it take to get things going??
New York has established a system of school tax exemptions and rebates for retired seniors.
It seems that most states have senior tax-reducing programs of one type or another.

About Journey
Journey joins forces with Rascal Flatts (Updated 9/13/13)
Those rascals! What have they been up to?
If you've been following news of Journey over the last year or so, you'll know they first performed with country music trio Rascal Flatts on the 2012 CMT Music Awards, where they closed the show with the megahit "Don't Stop Believin'." The two groups later crossed paths again by participating in a special edition of the critically-acclaimed CMT Crossroads series during Super Bowl XLVII in 2013. Of course, where do you go from there?
If you're Journey and Rascal Flatts, the next logical step would be taking that show on the road. Luckily for the fans, that's exactly what they did. The guys put a show together in Hershey, PA that drew overwhelming fan interest and led to an additional show booked in Atlantic City. Other dates on Journey's current tour (which kicked off June 28th in Hollywood, Florida) ran into the beginning of September. Other scattered dates have since been added, with the band most recently playing at the America's Cup Pavilion in San Francisco.
What else has Journey in the headlines? Neal Schon was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame on August 23 in Tulsa, prior to a concert at the Joint Hard Rock Event Center. As the only constant member of Journey since its inception, Schon has co-written some of the group's biggest songs like "Don't Stop Believin'," "Any Way You Want It," "Lights" and "Wheel In The Sky."
Journey's latest project, the documentary called "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" was released on DVD back on August 20, 2013.
The Journey continues (updated November 20, 2012)
Journey has experienced a bit of a Renaissance since the turn of the century. The band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 21, 2005. That same year they would release a new album, "Generations," and embarked on a 30th anniversary tour. The concerts would make headlines for two reasons – most of them were more than three hours long, and each show was divided into two sets. One focused most exclusively on pre-"Escape" material, and the other on post-"Escape" material.
By 2007, Journey was recruiting a new frontman and found him in Arnel Pineda, a Filipino vocalist discovered thanks to his YouTube video posts. Pineda made his debut with the band in 2008, the same year they released their next successful studio project, "Revelation."
The band's most recent album, "Eclipse," was released in the United States and Canada on May 24, 2011. Critical reception was chilly, with one Rolling Stone Magazine critic calling the album bloated and noting that it took 17 minutes and 39 seconds to find a Journey-sounding moment. Still, the album was a commercial success. It sold 21,400 copies in the U.S. in its debut week, landing at #13 on the Billboard 200. It also charted inside the top 40 in five different countries, and was nominated for the best album of the year in the Classicrock Roll of Honour Awards 2011.
In November 2011, Journey released their second greatest hits compilation titled "Journey: Greatest Hits: Volume 2." In 2012, the TriBeCa Film Festival premiered a documentary on the story of how Journey found its current lead singer.
Journey is still touring, and is set to appear onstage together with Whitesnake for the first time ever in May 2013. They will play eight dates across the UK, with tickets already on sale.

What can be written about this band of rockers that hasn't been written, said, sung or hummed before? Well, 80 million albums sold worldwide just has to be at least some clue to Journey's continuing and ever-expanding popularity. Although their top-selling self-titled debut album was released in 1975, with their spectacular run of hit after popular hit in the early-to-mid eighties the band, originally from San Francisco, solidified their place in rock/pop history with their very special blend of power and passion matched to the singular, soaring vocals of Steve Perry and who can ever forget- "Don't Stop Believin'", "Open Arms," "Who's Cryin' Now," and "Faithfully"- just to name but a few of their irresistibly infectious pop/rock anthems. Perhaps their greatest success was with their multi-platinum selling 1981 album, "Escape," which soared all the way to number one but the band continues to enjoy a passionate fanbase and continues to touch new listeners in often unexpected ways. Their hit "Don't Stop Believin'" was the team fight song of the 2005 World Champion Chicago White Sox and reached generations of new music lovers through its generous play on hit television shows such as The Sopranos and most recently Glee. The band may look slightly different but Journey tickets are still the event fans have been waiting for.

ENet for C# wraps the C-language ENet networking library. For games and other realtime applications, if you use TCP, old data can hold up newer data, even if it is no longer relevant (old positions, etc.). Your players will perceive any lost packet as a "lag burst". ENet supports multiple in-order streams of data, and allows you to decide on reliability on a per-packet basis.

Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
12/06/2012 By Angie H
I have now had 2 pairs of these for 2 months. I have real problems finding shoes that are comfortable but these are wonderful. I measure up as a 5.5, and boderline standard/wide, but usually find a 6 in Hush Puppies fits well - the 6 in these are perfect. The have worn well, and I think I might have to buy some other colours!
How do you most use this product?: all the time!

Whole Foods Market Partnership
Blue Ocean Institute and Whole Foods Market Partnership
Promotes Sustainable Seafood from Boat to Counter Top
In 2010, Blue Ocean Institute began a partnership with Whole Foods Market (WFM), a leading seafood retailer with stores throughout Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. The partnership works like this: Whole Foods Market uses the more than 160 seafood rankings prepared by Blue Ocean Institute, with others prepared by Monterey Bay Aquarium, to source responsibly caught seafood and to educate consumers at the Market's seafood counters.
Blue Ocean's ranking system is a rigorous three-part process. Each ranking takes months of research to condense dozens of scientific and government reports. Each ranking is based on 60 questions that investigate all aspects of the fishing process, from species abundance and fishery management to pollution run-off. Additionally, each report is peer reviewed to ensure each ranking is accurate and up-to-date.
The team of fishery scientists who complete the research is led by Elizabeth Brown, Blue Ocean's research scientist. According to Elizabeth, "Blue Ocean's findings result in seafood rankings and reports that help us all make decisions that protect fish populations and promote healthier oceans."
Whole Foods Market translates the seafood rankings into a ratings system that helps customers make responsible selections. WFM seafood receives close scrutiny from the boat all the way to the seafood case. Whole Foods has built relationships with fishermen who are committed to health, the environment and the integrity of our oceans, and sources seafood domestically and locally whenever possible. Whole Foods Market also eschews standard industry practices, including using artificial preservatives to boost water weight and extend shelf life, or carbon monoxide to enhance color.
Its partnerships with fishermen and farmers are reaping big rewards. "Whole Foods staff has worked closely with their seafood producers to move some of them closer to sustainable methods," says Carl Safina. "Those who've improved enough to make the cut get to stay in the fold. That's progress. If you want to make change, 'Show me how' can be a stronger, more effective approach than 'Just say no.' Kudos to Whole Foods Market for showing how it's done."

Life Insurance
If you've been considering buying a new 5 year term life insurance policy, it appears that you would be wise to move quickly. Changing consumer behavior and market conditions have affected the rates you might be paying. Insurance companies' traditional profits have taken a hit during the recent financial crisis, and these losses are being passed on to policy holders in the form of increased premiums. Life insurance costs are getting higher, and some term policies are becoming harder to find in the current marketplace. Term life insurance has been around since 1759, and still works according...
When comparing 30 yr term life insurance rates, there are a number of variables that insurance companies use to assess your risk, and therefore determine the cost of the policy. Many of those factors, like family medical history, aren't under your direct control. But there are some simple things you can do to lower the cost of your life insurance policy, even after you've signed the contract. Following these tips can significantly reduce your life insurance rates, and many of them are just common sense.

Do you have this wig in highlights?
The only thing is when I sweat around the face the wig gets dry and tangled in the spot where I sweat which is around the front of the wig. Otherwise I love it. Is there anyway to get the fuzz out?

Very pleased with this leather iPad 2 sleeve. It was exactly what I wanted in terms of quality.

Educational Philosophy:
While teaching writing takes a great deal of time and effort, being able to help you improve your writing and critical thinking skills makes it a worthwhile endeavor. I am convinced that teaching others has a positive impact on my own writing as well. Each term, I learn as much from my students as they learn from me. I consider it both a privilege and a joy to be able to teach writing.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Every course has a Core Assessment, which is one assignment given in all sections of the course. For En 106 the Core Assessment consists of one final-draft essay from each student's portfolio, chosen by the student, plus a Reflective Essay. Written at the end of term, the Reflective Essay must describe in significant detail the student's strengths and a discussion of opportunities for improvement as revealed in the complete portfolio. The reflective essay must also analyze the student's overall development as a writer over the duration of the semester/term.
Although all students in all sections will present a portfolio that includes evidence of prewriting and multiple drafts, the Core Assessment will consist only of one final-draft essay and the Reflective Essay.

Birthday Boy
Today he would've been 14 years old. I see all of his old classmates at school and realize that they really are a world away from me now. They have grown so much, in height and maturity. They are reaching puberty and have boyfriends and girlfriends and even facial hair. They just are not the kids I used to identify with Colin in the past. I used to look at them with sadness because they reminded me of what he was SUPPOSED to become, to experience, to change into. Now they seem distant and unrelated to him.
And really, that is what makes me feel the deepest pain. I want to look at them and feel a connection, to know that they think of him and remember that I'm his mom. Even if that means feeling sad. I want them to stay those little kids that loved him so much and made him cards and visited with him because maybe if they didn't change so much, he is somehow closer to me?
But that time in life is gone, and it's just another thing that makes him feel so far away from me. It's like reaching for something in the dark, but you know that you just will never find it. You know it's there, you know he's there, SOMEWHERE he HAS to be somewhere, but you have no way of finding him until someday when the light is turned back on and it's all revealed to us.
Today, if still here with us, I'd make him his favorite chocolate cake, FULL of frosting. I have so many pictures of him eating chocolate cake! Everyone else is looking at the camera ready to smile, he's looking at the cake, ready to eat. He'd probably want to play bingo for prizes, and I'd cheat so he wins more than anyone else, because it'd be the one area in life where he could be the winner. He'd be happy. It really never took much to make him happy. He never asked for much more than a Hershey bar and someone to listen to his crazy jokes.
The world has gone on, even though he has left it. It makes me feel so lonely for him. Such a dismal, heart-breaking feeling. All I want now is to make sure that no one forgets him. I could celebrate his birthday today with his favorite red balloons and his favorite chocolate cake, but I cannot celebrate a birthday without a birthday boy. No, instead I will light my Colin candle and hope that you do too. Because at least the light of that candle will remind you of him, and then you will be thinking of him. That's all I can do for him now. Keep his memory fresh in our minds and generate hope in my own heart that someday we'll celebrate together again.
If you want to help me commemorate Colin and honor his memory, please light a candle today in his honor. I always light one in a jar at his gravesite also. I like to think of the world lit up for him and think that maybe somehow he can see it. Also, these are two amazing and wonderful foundations that brought him great joy when he was ill. If you ever want to donate to a good cause, these are the very best: Children's Miracle Network or Make-A-Wish. If you are able to make a donation, no matter how big or small, please somehow note with it that it's in Colin's memory. This is a gift he would have absolutely loved.
Whether you knew him or not, whether you donate, or light a little candle in his honor, the most important thing is that you think of him....because if anyone ever deserved to be remembered, he does.

Hi Tanya. Thanks for sharing this day with me, and also how you are feeling with me. You put it into words wonderfully. I already lit my candle, and it smells like Birthday Cake, so it is very fitting for the occasion. Colin is being thought of today, you don't have to doubt that!
Bless you and your family!

Oh Tanya, my heart goes out to you. I have told you before how much your story and sweet little Colin struck a chord within me. I think of both you and him often, and I will most definitely light a candle in his memory today. Your analogy of reaching out in the darkness moved me so much, as I think every parent who has lost a child must feel this way.
Wrap yourself in as many hugs as you can today, and know that your little boy is so proud of his mum.
Take care,

You bet I will be lighting a candle in colins honor this evening! We were blessed with a Make-a-wish dream 3 years ago through my son and his great doctors. It is a great thing. I encourage you to make that chocolate cake for Colins memory, or better yet, get a group of simple red balloons and make a little note attached to each on saying "for you, in memory of my Colin" and ask the nurses at a childrens hospital to pass one to each child on a floor. I can reassure you that that little thing can make a day of a child stuck in a room watching cartoons all day. I love this post. It is filled with honesty and true feelings. I can feel your love of your son through it. Happy Birthday Colin!

Oh Tanya! I bought a new candle a couple of months ago and have never lit it....just wanted a really special occasion. This beautiful candle will now be my Colin candle and I am going to go light it NOW! Roy will be very excited when he wakes up because it's CHOCOLATE SCENTED!!!
Happy Birthday Colin!

I think one of the hardest things about losing someone is the fear that other people will move on and forget them. Somehow keeping their memory alive with as many people possible makes death less final. What a beautifully expressed tribute to Colin. I'm thinking of you and your family.

I know the feeling... I really do. I lost my son (age 20) 9/23/06. His little brother turned 21 last week and it made me cry because he was the 'oldest' here now.

I'm thinking of you. I know that you think you've lost him(and you did in the physical sense), but his memories still live on in your heart. No matter how much time passes, you'll never forget. Love never dies.
Yes, the world moves on. Even a smell might remind you of him. Just try to remember all of the good times you had with him.

I wanted to let You know that Colin was in my thoughts all day. I lit a vanilla candle in his honor. A sweet warm glow, as Im sure that is what Colin is. I have a just turned 14 year old, I told him I loved him...He said, "whats wrong"? I have a son that is also in heaven. Hard to believe he would have turned 18 years old on Christmas day. I know that there will be a time that We will be with them again. Fran in Utah

It has been snowy and cloudy all day here in Alberta, Canada. I was thinking of you and your son on my late drive home this evening - reminding myself to light a candle in his memory - when the sky literally opened up and the Northern Lights dazzled above me. Seems that Colin is at work lighting his own candle - and letting you know that he is safe and at peace.

A Pea
PS: When all the peas lit candles for Colin, I had mine lit in my kitchen. I stood there and looked outside and there was an amazing sunset (so not typical for our area). I grabbed my camera and took a pic. Every time I look at that photo (which I have framed in my living room) I think of your dear son. So please know, people across the world have not forgotten. <3

Just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about Colin a lot. In fact, his birthday is the same day as my sister's birthday, so I promise to light a candle for him every year! Your story is so moving. Hang in there, and know that Colin being thought about by many people.

I will light a candle tonight for your sweet son and mine. Maybe they are enjoying his day together. You never know.
My heart goes out to you, I would never say I know your pain and loss, but i sure know mine so if its anything comparable I know how painful it is.
I understand what you mean about the children/friends his age. I go through everyday looking at my son's twin brother and not one day goes by that I don't think of what he would be doing and why lord am I not picking up both boys after school or making two lunches or well you understand.
I will hold your sons memory close to my heart. I will pray it will somehow get easier for both of us.

My candle is lit, Tanya. And so you know, I think about Colin and your story often--even without the reminder of his birthday. He is thought of, and so are you.

Provider updateMay 25, 2010
This update features these highlights:
· Status TOTS (electronic CCAP time and attendance)
· Licensing Standards Revision progress and timeline
· Information about DSS Fines legislation (SB 634)
TOTS stands for "tracking of time services" for those children receiving subsidy from the DSS program called the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). TOTS will relieve providers from completing the monthly invoice and speed payment for services. Participation in CCAP is voluntary. Providers in these classes may be eligible to enroll as a CCAP provider:
Class A child care centers,
Class M Military child care centers,
Class R Family Child Day Care Home, and
Class U In-home providers (care for the child at the child's home)
TOTS Town Hall Presentations are taking place throughout the state and the pilot will begin in the Lafayette region in July.
For more information visit the DSS website at www.dss.louisiana.gov/tots.
Licensing Standards Revision progress and timeline
The Standards Revision Work Group should complete a draft of Class A regulations in late June and then present them to DSS Secretary Kristy Nichols for consideration. After preliminary approval, public comment gathering sessions will be held in July in Lafayette, Ruston, and Baton Rouge. Dates and locations of these sessions will be posted on the DSS website as well as emailed to those providers who have made their email available to DSS. Following review of these comments and final revisions, it is anticipated that the seven month rulemaking process will begin in late summer. A draft of the sections that have been revised are available on the DSS website (www.dss.louisiana.gov/childcareupdates and comments may be made anytime.
Information about DSS Fines legislation (SB 634)
As part of the Licensing redesign, DSS has worked with Senator Lydia Jackson to provide the agency options, such as fines, in enforcing violations of regulations of child care and child-placing agencies. DSS currently has only two options in enforcing regulations - repeatedly citing the same deficiency or revocation. This legislation provides DSS with the authority to develop a series of intermediate sanctions (fines) for continuing and repeated deficiencies. Currently more than 20 states use this type sanction for chronic uncorrected deficiencies. While some "classes of violations" have been identified in the bill, much work is left to be done with the involvement of the LA Council on Child Care and Early Childhood Education. As the bill has been amended, implementation of fines would not begin without until the licensing standards have been finalized. To find a copy of the bill go to www.legis.state.la.us and click on SB and type in 634.
