If you were to look at their 1-4 record, you might think the Cardinal Stritch Catholic football team was in the midst of a disappointing season.
A closer look reveals that the Cardinals are doing good things as Coach Jim Kubuske aims to rebuild a program that last qualified for the postseason in 2006.
After defeating Woodward, 26-14, in the season opener, Stritch has dropped four consecutive games, falling to Woodmore (55-13), Lakota (12-7), Danbury (26-18) and Toledo Christian (41-13).
But it's not as bad as it looks. While two of those losses have come in convincing fashion, if a few things had gone differently against Lakota and Danbury, the Cardinals could very well be 3-2.
Against the Raiders, the Cardinals led 7-0 before falling and, against the Lakers, Stritch had two touchdowns called back because of penalties. That included one in the fourth quarter that would have cut the deficit to 26-24 with a two-point conversion attempt coming.
And despite falling to the Eagles by 28 points, Stritch held a 13-10 lead midway through the second quarter before TC took a 20-13 into the half and later pulled away.
Kubuske believes the Cardinals, despite being 0-2 record in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, have made strides.
"We're a young team," said Kubuske. "The majority of our players are freshmen and sophomores and they're giving us 100 percent. We have a good group of senior leaders that are holding us together and keeping us on task. We're expecting to get better each week."
One of those seniors is running back Zach Denomy, an All Miller Jewelers All-Press second team selection in 2011. Denomy has rushed for 502 yards and is looking to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark this season and help strengthen the program for the future.
Kubuske says he is excited, knowing that many of his underclassmen are getting valuable experience by seeing varsity action this season. He notes that roughly eight freshmen are in line to earn a varsity letter. Kubuske credits a number of key players like Tanner Langlois (TE/LB), Ricky Pratt (OL/LB) and Walt Darrs (RB/DL), who are giving their all.
"We have some young kids that are contributing," Kubuske said.
Ottawa Hills, meanwhile, stands at 3-2 and is coming off a three-game winning streak after starting the season 0-2. The Green Bears, which went 7-4 last season and advanced to the postseason, are looking to compete for a league title and have gotten off to a 2-0 start in the TAAC. Following their 14-7 loss in week two to Ayersville, Ottawa Hills has outscored its opponents by a combined 128-28, which includes a 42-7 win over Hilltop last week.
The Bears, behind a spread offense, like to pass the ball but will mix in the run as well. Quarterback Jonathan Rodriguez has been on a tear lately, completing 21-of-32 passes for 395 yards and six touchdowns. He's gotten help running back Judah Wollenburg and wide receivers Lucas Janowicz, Will Longthorne and Jack Wollenburg.
In Ottawa Hills' 42-7 win over Hilltop in week five, Judah Wollenburg had eight carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns, Longthorne caught three passes for 114 yards and three scores as the Bears rolled up 412 yards of offense.
"They bounced back from a big loss to Genoa (58-7) early," Kubuske said. "They're veteran leadership has taken over and they have a lot of seniors. They've settled in and won three in a row. And according to what you put in the box (on defense), they'll adjust."
The Bears have won four of the last five meetings, though two of those victories came by a combined four points.

My mother, myself
I love the photo I have posted for my profile. It was taken by a street photographer (remember them?) of my Mom (l) and me (r) from about 1970, during a happy lull in our tempestuous relationship. Me, off to class at the University of BC, she, dressed for downtown. We did that, then, of course. It went without saying, even in the days when everyone thinks we only wore body paint and long hair.
Despite the tempestuousness, it was a very deep love and from her I (eventually) learned that you could love someone unconditionally and yet be angry at them and hurt by them. And of course, get through it and past it.
I have no clue how she figured this out, but she modelled for me how it is possible to judge the behaviour, not the person, no matter how unfairly I treated her. She was the brunt of all the blame for everything that hurt me, most of it misdirected from the real source, of course. And still she stuck around and worked it out. I know this experience was the foundation on which my ability to be in relationship and work in community was built. Facilitative leadership in an apron.
I love the photo for many reasons, but I posted it as my profile image because in it SHE looks THEN like a young version of ME, as I look today. I miss her, but catch glimpses of her every time I look in the mirror.
Seems appropriate to share that sense of continuity with this community.
Gorgeous photo of you and your mom. What a lovely tribute a week before Mother's Day (here in the US). I'm excited to see a new face on PulseWire-I hope you continue to share stories about your life!

Will creativity tools be the "next wave" of iOS apps?
Blogger Erica Ogg over at GigaOM's The Apple Blog brought up an interesting point in a post today, wondering aloud if creativity tools will be the next big wave of iOS apps. There have always been creativity tools, like painting and drawing apps, in the App Store, but Ogg based her comment on two beautiful and well-designed apps that appeared last week and have caught a lot of attention from buyers.
Those two apps are Snapguide and Paper. Snapguide (free) provides a simple way for anyone to create and share step-by-step how-to guides, while Paper by FiftyThree (free, with in-app tool purchases) is one of the best iPad sketching and painting apps I've ever seen and used. Both of the apps have immediately resonated with iOS users, who find the creative aspects of these apps as appealing as the traditional consumption-oriented apps that have been so popular on the iOS platform.
Ogg notes that "the debuts of Snapguide and Paper are showing that not only are developers making apps that make the iPhone and iPad more of a creative tool, but that users are responding." Many more developers may find themselves moving away from the heavily populated world of game app development to try the clear blue skies of creativity apps.

Perfect video, Alex! I like it.

I don't remember the last time I took a day off work for being sick--three years ago? I've been battling a terrible sore throat for the last day and a half so I called in sick today. I don't feel that terrible, but I have no voice at all. I'm off to the doctor later this a.m. to get something to help. If its not strep I think its a sinus infection.
I don't have time for this! My parent's are coming to visit this evening for the weekend, one daughter has a volleyball tournament tomorrow, I have church obligations on Sunday. Arrgghh! Thankfully, I am not singing on Sunday--just playing handbells. I can barely croak, let along sing.
I did reasonably well this week, losing the half pound I gained last week. Sure would be nice to break some new ground instead of just hangin' in the low 180's where I've been for so long. I've been trying new recipes and have been trying some vegetarian meals lately. We made falafel the other night. One daughter really liked it, the other was unimpressed.
The exercise is going well. I think that endorphin push each morning is the only thing getting me through a very long winter. The eating on the other hand, is just barely in check. I find myself popping the unlikliest things in my mouth--chips especially. I crave sweets usually, but I seem to be changing my ways. I don't have sweets in the house much, so I am compensating with the salty stuff I do keep around. They usually don't tempt me, but lately? I can't get enough of 'em.
Lots of stressful stuff coming up next week--mammogram, ENT consult, TAXES--bleah! I'll be quite happy to get through the week intact.
When I gain, I do it up right. Three pounds! Birthday cake, brownies and some Valentine's Day candy were the culprits. Also I ended up scooping snow two mornings during my usual exercise time and that just doesn't burn the calories.
Ironically I had three weigh-ins this week--I had my normal physical, my annual wellness check at work two days later and my own weigh in today. You'd think if I was going to be on the scales that often I'd have been motivated to watch things a bit better.
I think it might be time to start tracking food again.
For the first time in several weeks, my weight is DOWN. Just a pound, but I'll take it. This was the week of the dreaded cheese fries, after all!
Out early for an out-of-town meeting today. I'll try to check in again this weekend.
I have a day off today, so have some time to blog before I run off to do errands on this foggy morning.
I have entered "birthday season." My daughter's respective birthdays are one week apart, so we celebrated on birthday last Tuesday and we'll have another one coming up next Tuesday. My big splurge on E's birthday was the appetizer we had when we went out to eat--CHEESE FRIES. Can there possibly be anything worse? I did order a salad as my entree and she opted to forget the cake in favor of frosted sugar cookies, so I am not tormented with left-over cake this week.
Who knows what next week will bring?
I've also seem to have entered the perimenopause zone, which explains the carbohydrate craving I was experiencing when I last blogged. Two rounds of PMS and carbo-loading in a month is not a nice thing for my body to be doing to me. I seem to have gone from 32-35 day cycles to 23-24 day cycles. What fun.
My weight has been steady this week from last week, but its still about 5 pounds heavier than before Christmas and about 18-20 pounds over where I think I should be. I've got a physical coming up next week, so it will be good to see where I stand with blood pressure and cholesterol from a year ago.

Most articles on dividend investing focus on buying the best dividend stocks, reinvesting dividends and living happily ever after. They dazzle you with elaborate analysis and entry criteria, yet spend little in analyzing factors that cause one to sell.
In a long term dividend portfolio, I expect that there will be lots of change occurring over time in both company's business prospects and portfolio composition triggered by the business environment changes. As a result even if you picked the best stock in the world at the best price, you might still need to consider selling for one reason or another.
I have tried addressing this issue in previous articles, where I identified three reasons where I will make me sell. The three reasons include dividend cuts, company being bought out for cash or position being too high relative to other portfolio components. The only automatic rule is selling after a dividend cut or if I get bought out for cash when a stock is acquired. In the process of my portfolio reviews, I have uncovered another guideline that would recommend selling a certain type of companies on a stock per stock basis.
In the past year, I have sold three companies, which have kept growing their distributions. I then replaced these with companies which had better earnings and growth prospects.
In the middle of 2012, I replaced most of my Con Edison (ED) shares with units of ONEOK Partners (OKS). Con Edison was growing earnings and distributions very slowly, and looked overvalued based on the low future expected growth in earnings. ONEOK Partners on the other hand had much better growth prospects and a higher yield. The more time I spent researching the industry, the more I view utilities as poor long-term dividend growth stocks with their tendency to pay high current yields but to cut distributions every once in a while.
At the very end of 2012, I sold my position in Exxon-Mobil (XOM) and purchased shares in ConocoPhillips (COP). Exxon-Mobil has one of the stingiest dividend payouts in the oil and gas industry, and it tends to prefer stock buybacks to cash distributions. ConocoPhillips on the other hand has a better payout, and looked like a better value. I wanted to maintain my energy exposure, which is why I bought shares of ConocoPhillips.
The third trade I recently made was selling my position in Cincinnati Financial (CINF) and purchasing shares in five Canadian banks. These banks included Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), Bank of Montreal (BMO), Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM) and Royal Bank of Canada (RY). Cincinnati Financial had raised distributions at a very slow rate over the past five years, had a high dividend payout ratio and earnings were not expected to grow by much in the foreseeable future. The yield was high due to indiscriminate yield chasing by yield hungry investors, and the P/E ratio is close to 18. With the funds received, I purchased the five Canadian banks mentioned above in order to maintain exposure to financials in my portfolio. In addition, they had slightly higher yields on average, and better earnings and growth prospects than Cincinnati Financial.
Another trade I have made includes replacing Universal (UVV) with Phillip Morris International (PM) stock. Both companies have similar yields, although Universal has a lower P/E ratio relative to PMI. However, I view PMI's growth prospects to be much brighter than those for Universal. In my last analysis of Universal, I realized that the company might experience declines in earnings going forward.
In general, I reviewed each company's prospects on a company per company basis before making a decision to sell. I viewed low growth in earnings, dividends and poor near-term growth prospects as negatives. I then tried to look for a replacement in the same sector, or a close substitute.

Spring Cleaning My Dividend Portfolio
Most articles on dividend investing focus on buying the best dividend stocks, reinvesting dividends and living happily ever after. They dazzle you with elaborate analysis and entry criteria, yet spend little in analyzing factors that cause one to sell.

Definately always a good idea to periodically review your portfolio and make sure the companies you own are living up to your expectations. I like to make sure earnings and dividend growth are both at a rate I expect them to be and the reasons I bought the company in the first place still hold true.ReplyDelete
DGI - Wondering if you considered the BMO S&P/TSX Equal Weight Banks Index ETF (ticker symbol "ZEB" on the TSX). It holds the 5 Canadian banks you purchased plus one other (National Bank).ReplyDelete
Smart man, buying CDN banks. :)ReplyDelete
I actually sold COP and bought more VTI. That puts me down to 9 U.S. dividend aristocrats in my portfolio.
Most of them are DRIPping and only a few left that are not - that should change in 2013 - all stocks will be on autopilot for the next 20 years.
Everything else U.S. is in VTI and likely always will be. Some yield and capital appreciation.

Rocker Melissa Etheridge is leading a last-ditch effort to legalize marijuana in California before the state votes on the issue next month, November. The "Come to My Window" singer and "Lethal Weapon" star Danny Glover are to join politicians and civic leaders at a Buddhafest press conference.
The conference will be held in Los Angeles on Thursday, October 21 to raise awareness in the final days before voting begins on California Proposition 19, which could result in a new pot bill to regulate, control and tax marijuana use among over-21s. The Grammy Award-winning musician is a longtime marijuana legalization advocate.
"We have politicians and top-notch celebrities who are going to talk about the need for change," said Brian Roberts, publisher of THC Expose magazine, who helped organize the event at Cafe Was in Hollywood, of the legalization as quoted by Los Angeles Times. "If we vote yes, it changes the entire world view."

Why is it so inconceivable that Boomer - a guy who has a TON of local connections - could have a source on a Ranger trade ahead of the national guys that don't have those kind of relationships with the local team? Or that someone wouldn't leak it to him first precisely because he's a high-profile fan. It's not like he's Spike Lee where he's just a famous fan, he's actually in the media.
If anything Brooks confirmed there've at least been discussions to that end, although my regard for St. Louis would be lessened a bit if he did indeed want out just because he got bypassed by his GM for Team Canada.

Linda Hogan Fears Hulk Will Murder Herby Mischalova at . Comments
Any any loyal fan of the WWE knows, Hulk Hogan is the owner of 22-inch pythons (i.e. biceps) that can inflict some serious damage.
Based on a motion ex-wife Linda Hogan filed this week, it sounds as though she's certainly aware of how dangerous the former wrestler can be.
Linda is claiming she's in "constant fear of her life" because Hulk sits outside their properties and "relentlessly and methodically follows her."
In audio clips obtained by TMZ, Hulk responded to such accusations on Bubba the Love Sponge's radio show yesterday. Listen to the tape now - and then take pity on children Nick and Brooke Hogan.
Linda Hogan and Hulk Hogan were happy and in love until reality television camera invaded their lives.
Hulk is visiting Nick in jail and cares about his daughter's career while Linda's bonking a 19 year old? Nobody's perfect, but at this point, I doubt the Hulkster wants anything to do with Linda. Hear her 911 call? She's "so afraid of him" yet she's following him? My friend's ex wife is just like this, she's a shameless attention whore, professional victim type. Buy her the stupid condo Hulk, let her live there with her poolboy. Linda's greedy, in midlife crisis and perhaps needs to get herself a career of her own. Complaining and making up crap about your soon to be ex, is not a career sweetie.

Not since The Joy Of Sex was published in 1972 has a book influenced the way people have sex. Fifty Shades Of Grey inspired its readers to try kinky sex after getting all juiced up reading the thing. The movie version of the three-book series will be released in February next year and will be the first Hollywood movie inspired by a book about BDSM. "Since that book came out, our business has exploded," says Eddie Hibbs, retail director for the Stockroom, the largest maker of bondage gear in the world. "It gave the average person permission to experiment with BDSM."Read
"Polyamory" is defined as "the practice of engaging in multiple sexual relationships with the knowledge and consent of all partners concerned". It differs from "polygamy", where one creepy guy gets to have five wives. With polyamory, everything is equal and everyone gets to get it on with everyone else.Read
Regardless of whether you're counting down the moments to see 50 Shades Of Grey on the big screen or whether your taste for restraint sees James Franco's BSDM favourite Kink.com in your bookmarks, we've found the perfect way to make your next dirty weekend an altogether much more luxurious affair. Luxury erotic specialists Box Of Grey have teamed up with London's Sanctum Soho Hotel for two stunning new sets which can be placed in your room to await your arrival. The "Bijoux Sanctum" flight case contains an underbed restraint, assorted kinky accessories, a vibrator and even features a latex bow that can be used to bind your partner. If that isn't sufficient, then try the "Ultimate Sanctum" set featuring leather accessories by Tamzin Lillywhite for Box of Grey, a Lelo vibrator, ben war balls and arguably the finest cockring you'll ever experience. Need further convincing? Well to get you in the mood in the room you'll be able to see work by acclaimed music and film portrait photographer Ray Burmiston whose extraordinary images of models Jenny Goodall and Tessa Kuragi are bound to get you both in the mood...Read

Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd is set to release a solo album titled In Deep Owl on Aug. 27.
Originally slated to consist of only vocals and acoustic guitar, things changed when Shepherd added Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron and former Pearl Jam drummer Matt Chamberlain. That added percussion gives the album a little more oomph, and perhaps adds even more flavor from his home-base of Seattle.
To give fans a taste of the new music, Shepherd has released two tracks – "Collide" and "Baron Robber."
Listen to both tracks below and visit Shepherd's official Facebook page for more information.

Labour shock pledge: 16.8-meg broadband for ALL by 2012!
Perhaps its exchange side, perhaps not.
ADSL requires good tech on both sides. Sure, the exchange may have been upgrade, but you did say connecting to the master socket and altering your router to an ADSL2+ compatible device improved the speeds. The chances are -nothing- has changed on the exchange side, but by connecting to the master socket you have removed and crappy internal wiring you may have had the router going over, plus any interference from other cable runs it crosses and other devices it snakes past. All of which will likely cause drops, which in turn will drag your overall throughput down.
3 to offer iPhone next year
@Martin 10
Thats a tad harsh, surely?
I bought a 3 3G dongle while in deepest darkest south wales on a break because I couldn't get any signal on 02 down there. One incident aside their support was great, they could stand some better training but otherwise...
Apple fine-tunes app censorship
Come OS 3, it will. So I'd say its perfect timing.
Paris, because I suspect that she too partakes in the occasional bit of sexting.
Sennheiser MM50 for iPhone stereo headset
Good 'phones
I've had these for a couple of months - the button aside, I can't fault them at all.
The sound is a lot more pleasing to me than the Bose in ears I was using previously and like Sebastian, I prefer the asymmetric cord.
Not had chance to try the mic yet, partly out of the fact it seems to hang a hell of a lot further from my mouth than the mic on the standard iPhone headphones.. Still dislike the tiny, hard to feel for button on these though.. The amount of misclicks I make when I do find it is an annoyance too, since I often find myself stopping tracks by accident, rather than skipping on or back as intended.
Google voice still not on iPhone
Thanks Phil and AC, should have occurred to me to search on the app store for one.. Now if only Jobs and co would let apps run as a background process, so this wouldn't need to be kept running.
Not copy and paste
The reason its not on the store yet wouldn't be copy and paste related, their is an app already on the App store, called Magicpad that not only allows for this functionality, but also allows other apps to utilise it too.
I just hope the google app will enable voice calling, since that's one feature I would love to see on the Jesus phone, which Apple omitted.
A Blu-ray Christmas? Don't bank on it
Cost of discs
The cost of blu-ray discs is dropping fast, actually. got a few emails from HMV recently punting The Dark Night 2 Disc edition on BRD for 15 quid.. Hellboy 2 for 13 quid..
They are hitting the price points DVD was about 12 - 24 months back... Another year or two and we should start seeing large scale sales of them putting them well in the same pricing bracket as the cheaper DVD's right now.
PayPal top-up card is titsup
Wonder if this is why I'm still waiting for them to release a payment from holding for some tat I flogged on Ebay t'other day? I know its nothing to do with waiting for the feedback, since thats come back positive.
Sony revamps e-book Reader with reading lamp
Steve, till recently I had an imported PRS500, while it did support PDF, the support was pretty dire.
I found it nigh on impossible to read the text and while their was a zoom function, it never went past 'medium' for PDF, while with Sony's own format I could happily switch between small medium and large font sizes.
Was pretty sad to let it go to be honest, but the poor PDF support made it one of the lesser used gadgets I had. I'm hoping the 505 and the 700 PDF support is a lot better, since I'd seriously consider picking another one up if it is.
Apple channels Pandora with iTunes 8
I am rich
I dunno, provided the headphones are good enough, I'd say thats good value for money.
I've parted close to a ton for a decent pair of in ear headphones before now and noticed where the extra cash has been put into use, when compared to say a 20 quid from dixons pair.
Bit miffed that the Nike+ system will only work with the 2nd Gen iPod touches though. Why couldn't apple have developed a new dongle for the older models?
World+Dog predicts new iPods, Macs imminent
late to the game again?
THe pic of the macbook pro is a mockup, done by a macrumours forum member. Nothing to see here, move on.
Brown's website is Web2.0tastic
Work Experience
Why do I get the impression this site has been built by a work experience kid they currently have in. Or better yet, a younger family member of an MP, who got given a nice cash sum make the site, which was then done in around oooooh 30 minutes?
What I love about it the most is the fact its in Beta. I take it this means that any outages in day to day governance of the UK are classed as acceptable due to the beta status?
Apple's Time Capsule: is its HDD really 'server grade'?
Server grade
Its the same drive that ships with the Xserve.
It seems a cheap way around it, sure, but they never actually specify what server grade means anywhere in the blurb about the drive.
Paris, because I'm sure if she bought a Time Capsule she'd be concerned and confused over the meaning of the term server grade.
Warner Bros revs up live action Akira
Why do Hollywood insist on remaking prior art? They never get it right. Here's hoping it gets left in a dark dusty corner of some obscure warehouse somewhere, long before it starts production. Much like the Evangelion remake from a few years ago.
Xbox 360 could back Blu-ray
The current version of the PS3 does still play PS2 games, however its through software emulation rather than hardware support.
So not much different to the 360 then.
'Heavy' handset challenges all comers to prove its mettle
Ah but...
Will it blend?
eBayer punts Wii for £1m
According to the auction, it has DVD playback. By default this isn't a feature on the Wii, yet...
So, has it been hacked or is the seller just being a numpty?
Also, just to get it in, what does Paris Hilton have to say on the matter?
Mum sends stripper to teenage son's school
What I'm wondering is if the Gorilla was supposed to strip and they sent the wrong kind of stripper in error, rather than the wrong kind of act altogether.
Apple coughs up G4 refunds to dissatisfied Danes
Not to be funny, but of course it will seem that laptops always break to you, since you worked in a service centre and all.
I happen to work in a service centre as well and if I just looked at the amount of machines we have coming into repair I'd say they break all the time too.
Luckily I also speak to our sales guys and know we shift more units than actually ever come back into us, so I know that for the most part, as far as our store goes the Macs we sell are fine and dandy.
AppleStore shut for 'update' - new kit coming?
Store is down?
Seems to be working fine for me. No back soon message like I'd expect.
Quick glance of the store shows nowthing out of the ordinary - though granted I've not checked individual product pages.

Re: Decades of road safety research
A few points taken from the study you pointed to :-
Page iv is titled "Some limitations of the study"
1. 77 out of 175, could not be included in the meta-analysis
2. There is a possibility of publication bias in the data
3. The results may to some extent reflect the effects of other road safety measures, not just changes in speed
4. Data concerning speed and/or accidents can be unreliable
5. A number of studies contain multiple estimates of effect.
6. The study does not state what the relationship between speed and accidents is for specific types of accidents or in specific types of traffic environment.
It also states that "The Power Model applies to injury accidents only, and not to accidents at large."
So it's saying that speed is related to the severity of the accident not whether speeding is safe or not.
All of that kind of puts the report in the bin really in this context.
It also mentions other studies that show that cars travelling slower or faster than the mean speed of traffic are more often involved in accidents
So, slow speed also kills to coin a phrase.
There's lies, damn lies and statistics.

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that has a service that will send the a form information to a fax. Sorry if this seems unclear, let me try to explain...
A user fills out his/her address and what he/she would like to order and then click send; from that point, the information is faxed to the selected store/restaurant.
If anyone knows of any site that offers this service (alright if it costs $) please get back to me!
Thank you

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Ever attend the talk on maintaining your Ramaḍān momentum? Seems to be everywhere at the end of Ramaḍān, but in my experience few, if any, are impacted because Ramaḍān time is treated as a time of binge worship rather than an occasion for strategic habit development. I believe our speaking capital is better invested in teaching habits of worship that are practically integrated in the life of the typical Muslim. By doing so, Ramaḍān stops acting as a time of crash-and-burn binge worship and turns into a framework for building habits that should be at the core of every Muslim's daily life. The first habit this series will look to develop is teaching the reader one method that has been successful in developing the ability to wake at 4 am daily (translation: this is how I did it, but it's not the only way to get the job done). Real Goals vs Guilty Goals At the heart of every Muslim's life priorities should be an aspiration to place in the highest level of Paradise. You'll know the strength of that conviction by the conscious strategies you create to get there, and the active steps you take to making those strategies successful. You'll likely fail many times, but oftentimes the intent and effort is just as important as attaining the goal itself. This is a Real Goal. In contrast, when one says, "I should change", but no real effort takes place, either in planning or doing, it's what I like to call a Guilty Goal. Guilty Goals are not true goals – they're simply lip service placeholders in our minds, that allow us to acknowledge the virtue of some action while simultaneously making us feel guilty because, either we don't really want to do them (lip service), or we don't see a viable path forward to complete them. For example, when asked, "Do you want to memorize the Qurʾān?" in a lecture, all hands shoot up. Who wouldn't want to? But were we to ask, "Who has a one-, two-, five-, or ten- year plan to get it done," the number of raised hands would disappear faster than chicken biriyani at an ifṭār. The Bridge from Guilty to Real Goals: Daily Habits I'm often asked about my eating and training strategies because of the shape I maintain, especially since I'm not a fitness professional, but a 9 – 5 software engineer with a wife and three kids. The most important strategy for getting into shape is the same as for waking at 4 am – it's hardwiring neural pathways in your brain that converts new, frequent actions into lifelong habits. Once those habits are firmly established, it becomes difficult to leave aside performing those habits. If you'd like to test it out, see how you feel when you don't brush your teeth in the morning. Beyond avoiding close quarters in conversation and the gross feeling in your mouth, you're subconscious mind will continually bang away at the walls of your mind letting you know something is wrong. There is so much negative reinforcement, you can't help but go back and brush your teeth (at least, I hope so). What if the pain of leaving a good action was more than the pleasure of leaving it? What if your mind rebelled and compelled you to go back and perform the action? Now you have a good habit established. We'll discuss how to go about doing this, using the 4 am wake-up as our example. How I Establish Daily Habits When you begin any new activity, be it waking at 4 am or turning your health around, you're both attempting to establish many new habits while breaking away from other established habits. That's a tall order, and it's why most people fail to change – it's too much too soon. It's the same reason why almost no one maintains their Ramaḍān momentum, and why they crash and burn come 'Eid day. The following strategy outlines how I bring about change in my daily habits with the 4 am wake-up as the example. Step 1: What's In It For Me? Find Your Motivation Before changing your habits, you need one or more compelling reasons to change. In the case of waking at 4 am, one habit I wanted to establish was praying at least 2 rakaʿāt of qiyām ul-layl every night. I chose 4 am because when the winter months hit, I would still be within a half-hour time frame before fajr, so no matter what time of year I was in, I could perform it. But this isn't the only reason I wanted to establish this habit. By waking early, I could also better prepare myself for the day, spend more time on other acts of worship (more dhikr, memorizing Qurʾān), more learning (preparing for certifications related to my job), getting more work done (I could get more done in an hour in the morning than during normal office hours), and if my wife woke with me, spend quality time with her while the kids slept, and we would both be bright and fresh during that time. Sure, there are some days when I oversleep and wake up at 6:30am, and there are days when I wake up and just want to stand in the shower and veg out for more time since I have more time. It's all fine because I have that time for myself to do just that. For me, waking at 4 am is the foundation for success in all other areas of life. In particular, during the brief periods of time I consistently performed qiyām ul-layl, I found my du'ā's often answered with overnight delivery. All-in-all, this habit means a lot to me, and I believe very strongly in the benefit of establishing this habit and maintaining it for life. Step 2: Anticipate the Unintended Consequences of the Habit Changing oneself isn't simply a matter of deciding you'll act differently and then doing so. A number of areas of life should be addressed: Relationships: If I wake and sleep earlier, what effects will that have on my family's routine? If this causes me to go to the office earlier, how will that affect my team's established routine? If you see the potential for conflict, you should speak with the affected parties and ensure they understand what you're doing and why you're doing it. If they anticipate problems, work out those problems to the satisfaction of both yourself and the other person. Energy Levels: Your own energy levels will be impacted by this change. On a daily basis, you'll wake and want to go right back to sleep. If you stay awake, you may find performance deteriorates due to mind fog. I dealt with this by taking an energy drink first thing in the morning upon waking. I'm now at a point where I wake early without an alarm clock and don't need the energy drink immediately. Daily Schedule: When my day started and ended later, I spent more time relaxing in the evenings because rest was all I wanted after a long day at work. By flipping my hours around, I was working on all those "important" priorities first thing daily, but I was no longer taking the time to relax and have fun. It was leading to a different type of mental burnout, and I didn't anticipate that. If there are important activities in your life coming later in the day, make sure to find other times in your schedule to handle them. Step 3: Persevere Through Initial Launch and Occasional Failure The beginning of a dramatically new habit comes with the burden of overcoming existing mental and physical programming. If the change is too dramatic, then you'll likely last anywhere between one day and one week before crashing. To preserve through the initial launch, the change should be a challenge without being overpowering. If you're already waking at 8am, then you would start at 7am in your first week, not 4 am. Your focus during this time is not qiyām ul-layl, studying, working out, or anything else. The goal is simple – wake up and stay up. If you want to take a long shower, walk around the neighborhood, or veg out on Facebook, go for it. If you woke at 7am and stayed up all day, congratulations, you succeeded. The last point cannot be overstated enough. The goal is simply waking and staying up, no more. Even if you sleep late, it doesn't matter – your goal is consistently waking up at the same time and staying up. The next week, you'll move to 6am, the week after 5am, and the week after that, you can push to 4 am. If one hour increments are too much for you, wake earlier in half-hour increments. If even that becomes too much, aim for 15 minute increments. Once you've established the habit, you'll find that your wake up time may fluctuate. Sometimes I wake at 3am and can't fall back asleep, and other times I wake at 4:30am to 5am. This range is acceptable for me, based on my own goals. If I were to wake up at 6am and beyond, I would consider that "oversleeping". In this case, I consciously attempt to discern what may have caused the problem (in one instance, I worked out late in the evening and then slept late), and make sure to focus myself on not repeating the mistake, or if I repeat the mistake, setting up other means of waking (like my alarm). The key is that occasional failure is ok (and expected), just determine that a failure doesn't mean the end of the habit, it's just a part of our human imperfection, and strive again to maintain better consistency. Another point to keep in mind – sometimes I intentionally "fail", meaning, I realize I've awakened too many early mornings in a row while sleeping an average of 5 hours. When this occurs, I allow myself a recovery day (usually on a Saturday or Sunday) to knock out until 9am (that's just my time, others may have their own). Exceptions I know many of you are excited to get started and running on this, but there are some exceptions such as if you're: Pregnant or within 2 years of delivering a baby: Your schedule and hormones are far too upside down. Focus on a healthy delivery, and don't try to force a sleep schedule with a new baby. In fact, set your expectations and don't guilt yourself over not being able to achieve more during this time unless you have an awesome spouse who will help out and give you your own time. You Work the Graveyard Shift: You probably hit qiyām every night ;) But really, the point is that you don't wake up simply to get up and get ready for work. Use the techniques outlined above to wake up 2 hours earlier to get other types of work done. People with medical sleep disorders: Seek the help of a competent professional. Let them know what you want to do and see how they can help you get it done. Wrap Up Becoming a consistent early-morning person isn't about being a super duper tajwīd master shaykh floating on a magic carpet. It's all about focusing on the goal, keeping it simple, making conscious, gradual improvements, and moving forward until you hit the target. Don't worry about the days you fail, just keep trying until you get to enjoy the sweetness of front loading your day with all the most important things in your life. The gradual success that comes from it will snowball into this amazing feeling of accomplishment and happiness that honestly can't be put into words.

I actually have been feeling that just waking up for Fajr and staying up doesn't leave enough time for me to do other things (blogging, reading, Quran reciting, working out), so this is definitely a good idea when it comes to handling priorities and being more productive. I dont think I could do 4:00am though but will attempt a 5:00am routine.

Very good tips and advice. Waking up early really is beneficial, for all the reasons you have outlined. 0 0 Reply Siraaj October 22, 2012 @umbudi: Thanks for sharing :) @Muslimah: wa iyyak and ameen. @Asif: I found waking after fajr leaves me only time to get ready for work, and there is so much more one can benefit right before. @Reshma Rahiman: May Allah make you successful, and if it's too much, be patient and wait a bit and try again. @AM: Jzk for the positive feedback on the article (and others), if you have your own tips for waking up early, would appreciate reading them =) 0 0 Reply Dawud Israel October 22, 2012 Ahh, I see you highlighted the increment method. :) Barakallahu feek. di. 0 0 Reply Amanda October 22, 2012 What an amazing coincidence that you publish this post at a time that I have launched myself on my 'Early Riser' quest.

Small goals are definitely key and I'm glad that was highlighted in the article. In addition, a rare and forgotten sunnah that can help people in this early waking schedule is "Qayloolah" or the afternoon power nap. It can seriously do wonders. Check out this talk on Sleep Management for more info: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jwPKn_9rJU 0 0 Reply Siraaj October 28, 2012 Salaam alaykum Zahra, Great additional point, and it was something some of the reviewers of this article on the MM team pointed out as well (and I didn't add because I mistakenly thought the article was coming out tomorrow :)). Having said that, I didn't originally add it because at the time of the article, I was not napping much (or at all) throughout the day. Like myself, I think many working professionals will find it difficult to pull off, and stay-at-home parents with non-school age kids may find it the same, so I wrote it with a "worst-case scenario" in mind. But definitely recommend the qayloolah, I now ride a train and bus to work, and napping on the bus for 20 minutes is great at the end of the day! Siraaj 0 0 Reply Muslimah October 29, 2012 I have something to add to your very useful article brother Siraaj. Now this is for everyone: If you are the type of person who just cannot wake up in the morning, who overhears the 4 alarms and keep sleeping, then you must try this new method that I just found: When you have a day off from work or college, or just some time for yourself in weekends, do this: In the mid of the day, set your alarm to ring after 10 minutes, lay down in your bed and close your eyes (you have to pretend to sleep). When you hear the alarm ring, get up immediately! – You just did, what you need to do in the morning. Try this a few times in a day, and you'll actually be able to hear the same alarm and get up the same way every morning, Insha'Allah. :) Hope this was useful. Insha'Allah. 1 0 Reply Siraaj October 29, 2012 that's a really interesting trick – did you pick that up from somewhere, or was it something you figured out yourself? siraaj 0 0 Reply Muslimah October 29, 2012 Indeed it is.. I found it on the net and I'm gonna try it soon insha'Allah. The woman who wrote it also commented that after using this method, she never failed to wake up early in the morning. Subhan'Allah! 0 0 Reply Jameela October 31, 2012 I always admire people who can wake up early to perform tahajjud and other prayers. May i will become like those people. InsyaAllah. 0 0 Reply Asim November 1, 2012 Great piece. But I have read this kind of article many times in past. In fact I am aware about most of the method. But somehow that doesn't help. Passing judgement is one thing and implementing is totally something different. Can you help me on this front … Asim 0 0 Reply Siraaj November 1, 2012 Salaam alaykum Asim, Absolutely. Let's start with step #1 – what are you looking to get out of waking early? Siraaj 0 0 Reply rio November 3, 2012 jazakallahu khair 0 0 Reply Zohra November 4, 2012 The post was amazing. I'm looking forward to give it a try. Thx… 0 0 Reply Binth Zaman November 8, 2012 There's this hadeeth which states that Allah subhanahu wata'ala descends to the lowest heavens during late night hours…just to answer the prayers of his servents who would supplicate at that time..This one really worked for me 1 0 Reply Siraaj November 13, 2012 Salaam alaykum, Great motivator, this would fall under step #1 for me – what are the reasons that drive you towards waking up (and it would be one of many). Siraaj 0 0 Reply white_guy November 12, 2012 I like your style of writing. I have been searching for a faith for myself and my family, and I am also a professional(dentist). Have you written any primers/introductions to the faith? I would be really interested to see a practical approach to conversion to islam. 0 0 Reply Siraaj November 13, 2012 I haven't written any primers on conversion, but being married to a convert myself and paying attention to the issues repeatedly brought forward by them, I realize this is an issue that needs addressing. Are you interested in converting to Islam? Siraaj 0 0 Reply white_guy November 13, 2012 I am not certain. I am trying to figure out my religion since we had our child. The appeal of Islam to me is that at its core its simple and logical (there is no God but God). Parts of the quran are beautiful to me, and parts appear redundant, but never overtly violent. What concerns me is the actions of many of the muslims I know, and how the muslim world appears to backwards. It is a very hard question, but I need a religious identity, especially for my little girl. The catholic church I was raised in is dying, islam seems on the up swing. 0 0 Siraaj November 13, 2012 I hear you on the complexity part of things. I grew up in a household with a Christian father and a Muslim mother. I was blocked from more traditional Muslim learning during that time, and by the blessings of God, my mother who wasn't versed in the academic particulars gave me the most important lesson of all, and that was establishing a strong, personal bond with God, first and foremost. When that was established, it served as a foundation for everything else of practice and ritual that followed. I can't be intellectually honest and say every Muslim is that way. Irrespective of the simplicity of the revelation, humans are complicated and have human issues (myself included), and with our weaknesses, our jealousies, arrogance, ignorance, and other basic human failings, we can complicate something which at it's core is really very simple – our Creator is One All-Powerful being, and He made us with the sole purpose of worshiping Him alone. As I understand it, where we differ fundamentally with the catholic faith is in the placement of Jesus – is he the Son of God, or something else? We affirm him as a Messenger of God, one who came with Revelation from God in the same manner that Moses, Noah, and Abraham did. His miracles are like those of the previous 3 mentioned – they are signs from God, and a result of God's power, and not something inherent in and of themselves. We believe and affirm his miraculous birth from the virgin mary (there is a chapter entitled maryam, check that out in your Qur'an if you haven't), but we also believe that just as God created Adam with neither father nor mother, and Eve from Adam's rib, Jesus was also created likewise from one parent without need for another as a miraculous sign to accept his message. I know that the modern Muslim world is backward in many ways. However, I think a better approach is not to base one's belief of a religion on the way people implement it, but to evaluate people based on the ideas they ascribe themselves to instead.

My real question is what time do you actually go to sleep? Do you believe we generally need 8 hours of downtime to recover from an average days work? InshAllah will try to implement some of your advice… 0 0 Reply Siraaj November 14, 2012 I usually hit the sack between 9 – 10:30pm now, before changing i was doing 2 – 3am. Six to seven hours is typical for me, but if i have a five hour night or two, i make it up on the weekend. 0 0 Reply Saud SwisH November 19, 2012 Great article bro. It actually means more(and is more motivating) when advice is given by something who actually does it. JazakAllah Khayr!
