Doug Makes a Difference

I loved the voice of the main character.  I loved mixture of art, dilemma, and heart.  I loved how young, 8th-grader Doug continually made a difference in the life of everyone he interacted with even as they tried so hard to assume the worst in him.  Basically, I loved this book.

I love Doug Kershaw. I have since I was a teenager in the seventies. My favorite albums of his were some of his earlier ones like 'Swamp Grass,' 'Mama Kershaw's Boy,' and 'The Cajun Way.'
I had really high hopes for this DVD, but it was a huge let down. Doug isn't Doug without that great fiddling, and you couldn't hear his fiddle. And it seemed to be because they had his mike turned down. The sound was pretty good on Doug's vocals, and was marvelous on everyone else who came up and played a solo; the sound of their violins and horns came through loud and clear. The sound of Doug's fiddle was almost nonexistent, however.
Maybe there was a reason for doing that, I don't know. The set list wasn't very good, either, but I knew that going in. I thought Doug's great fiddle playing would make up for it. It didn't.

Doug uses his life experiences to provide you a shared framework OODA to shape a very productive life journey.  OODA (John Boyd)  says that in any situation in life you want to be very observant, use this information to orient yourself, team, or organization to this situation, Decide course of action with fully developed plan, act with purpose - put all of your self, team or organization into action to carry out the decide course with plan - then cycle through again as rapidly as possible because with action comes more things to observe, reorient, make new decisions, with updated plans and new actions.

Doug helps parents help children help grandchildren to transform lives to get 3x to 10x the quality life.

Not only have I read the book, but I had the pleasure of hearing Doug speak last night. He is on fire!  His messages about business are straight forward and simple.  He has no really revolutionary insights, however he speaks plainly and directly to the reader.  The real ah ha, the genius of his work is something called Merwyn.  Named for his Dad.  Merwyn brings science to the art of new product development.  When you buy the book you get to have one of your business ideas scanned!  Merwyn works to help you understand the probability of success of your idea.  It quantifies success.  Doug signed my book "Be Bold." I encourage you to be bold and buy his book!

Shawn is a man that has defied the odds...staying positive when life is negative. His success begins with attitude and ends with a clear framework.

In all respects, this was a substantial improvement over the previous book in this series (Some Golden Harbor). The plotting seemed tighter, the characterization more sophisticated, and the action more intense.

In particular, Adele Mundy seemed less like a whiner and more like the interesting person she could be. (Daniel Leary also comes off as more adult, which is long since overdue.) The new character, Cazelet, is something of a McGuffin, serving more to advance the character development of the others than as a real character in his own right. But he does do that job well, and it brings Adele out of the stagnation her character has been suffering from.

The book is more action-oriented than some of the others, which is probably a good thing. Drake doesn't need a lot of action to write a good book, but I think Leary and Mundy demand it. So in this series, a healthy amount of action is a plus.

Fans of Tovara and Hogg may feel a bit shorted, but fans of Leary and Mundy will be more happy. And the rest of the Sissies get their screen time as well, which is an important aspect of what makes these books continue to be worth reading.

There is no end in sight for this series, but this book (in contrast to the last one) makes that once again seem like a good thing.

The first episode was awesome. I haven't seen Doug in awhile; to be exact almost 15 years. That is a long time ago.  It was a great show to watch as a kid. Something I could related to as a kid.

God Bless You

These four SDQ tracks are a breath of fresh air. I guess it's possible it's not Doug Sahm singing these tracks. I have no evidence that says that it is not Doug Sahm.

Douglas doesn't glorify the subjects of his profiling for the most part and largely manages to avoid assembling a grisly scoreboard in their honor. Nonetheless, the gravity of their acts and the resulting suffering render even the most focused telling a sobering indictment of humanity's darker corridors. Douglas worked along the frayed edges of our society, holding the line, as so many do, in the commission of a dark and necessary duty.

My DVD came so quickly! It was a wonderful surprise. Doug is the best-defintely order these if you remember watching as a kid. It is still fun to watch these episodes & reminisce about Nickelodeon when it was at its prime.

Dave Gahan has come a long way with his songwriting and ability to put together a solid album since Paper Monsters.  Maybe it's all the years of working with Martin, but Dave seems to have progressed nicely over the years and I highly recommend the album, especially for DM fans.  The DVD has studio sessions and a Kingdom video, I thought it was worth the extra $10 or so.

_That Went Well_ shows a lot of humor and determination as the Harris family worked to provide opportunities for their mentally impaired daughter.  There were a few a-ha moments where I realized, had the Harris family (and Dougan family) not had personal and professional connections, they would not have been able to champion their cause to the degree that they did.  Good story, and helps those who work with people with any impairment have an inside view into how ADA became a reality.

Who would have thought Doug Swieteck would made such a read worthy hero?  But he was and he gave this book a voice that held my attention from start to finish.  Doug's story was worth reading on its own but the characters were the real highlights of this book.  Gary D. Schmidt does a wonderful job of unfolding his characters over the course of a book through the eyes of his main character, in this case, through Douggo' s eyes.  I've read Wednesday Wars several times as a class read aloud book.  I will likely need to add this book to the mix, even with the heavier story.  It will lead to some really great classroom discussions.
