Seventy years later, the ceremonies honoring the heroes of D-Day play out in France, on the beaches of Normandy and in solemn, holy places like the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. But in this country, they also play out in the shadow of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
Bergdahl, the POW just released in exchange for five very hard, bad guys from the Taliban who'd been held in Guantanamo, was also treated like some kind of hero by President Obama, whether the President used that word or not when he brought Bergdahl's parents to the Rose Garden the other day. Bergdahl was some kind of hero, and so was the President who brought him home, you bet.
Almost immediately after that, the President sent out one of his chief flacks, Susan Rice, one who clearly learned nothing after Benghazi, to talk about how Bergdahl had served his country with "honor and distinction."
Rice, who sometimes seems so light you think she might float away, doesn't know that, anymore than she knows whether it will eventually be determined if Bergdahl deserted or not. She doesn't know, the President doesn't know, neither does Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
It is why more and more you get the idea that no matter how honorable and distinguished it is for a President not to leave a single POW behind, he desperately wanted to look strong at a time when so many in his own country, and around the world, think he is weak.
So on a day that will celebrate and remember the very best of this country, the courage and nobility of all who died on those beaches on this day in 1944, the news here continues to be dominated by one former soldier who may have just walked away from his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan.
"I make absolutely no apologies for making sure that we get a young man back to his parents and that the American people understand this is somebody's child," the President said Thursday.
Again: That is a noble principle of leadership in this country, in any era, for any war. But if that is the guiding principle now for Obama, then he should have been bringing troops home from Afghanistan a long time ago, since so many soldiers killed over there since he took office are somebody's children as well, ones whose parents never made it to the White House.
Now we are told that if Congress had been told of Obama's plan and that if news of the deal had somehow leaked, that the Taliban would have killed Sgt. Bergdahl. Really? In the runup to the killing of Osama Bin Laden, what is known as the "Gang of Eight" - leaders of the two parties from the Senate and House - were briefed on the extremely classified information on what was about to happen to Bin Laden in Pakistan.
They didn't leak the news about Bin Laden before the fact, but now the President couldn't trust the same people to keep their mouths shut on Sgt. Bergdahl?
Once the legitimate backlash on what the President had done and how he'd done it began, you heard that anybody criticizing him or his decision was engaged in a "rush" to judgment. If that's true, somebody needs to explain what the rush was to get Bergdahl's parents to the White House.
The only judgment to question here, rushed or otherwise, is the judgment of the President of the United States, who either didn't know the sketchy details of how Bergdahl stopped being a soldier, or didn't think those details were relevant in his determination to bring the only POW in Afghanistan home.
"I've never accepted the notion that (the President) didn't have the right to do what he did," Rep. Pete King, once the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, said Thursday. "I just believe that what he did was wrong."
King also said that he has talked to some veterans of Afghanistan in the past week, ones who told him that they can understand if a young guy like Bergdahl finds himself in the middle of a firefight and panics. But what has enraged some is the notion that Bergdahl, whatever his reasons, might have just decided he didn't want to be a soldier anymore.
"What they don't want to hear," Pete King said, "is that a guy we had to give up this much for just might have packed up his gear and left. And that five years later, his parents get invited to the Rose Garden to meet the President."
On Friday, that same President honors the memory of those who 70 years ago did not make it past the morning of June 6. If those soldiers had doubts about their mission, they kept them to themselves on the beaches of Normandy.

With Halloween 2014 coming on the heels of the BoxTrolls movie, recycled (and recyclable) cardboard costumes are sure to be in high demand. Even if you won't be creating one of these characters, we've got great tips for greening this season of ghosts and gourds.
* Make crafty trick-or-treat sacks using recyclable paper bags and paper scraps or put removable decorations on tote bags or pillow cases for an extra sturdy, reusable option. Find great ideas for decorations, party planning, costumes and more at planetpals.com.
* Create costumes from items you already own and avoid purchasing unnecessary single-use items. Find new-to-you ensembles and donate your old ones at GrowNYC's Halloween Costume Swaps on October 25 and 26 or try your local thrift store for inspiration. Get great recyclable costume ideas for all ages from the Cardboard Costume Challenge and Inhabitots.
* When you're finished showing off your costume, recycle it! Use your building's textile bin if you have one or find a Greenmarket collection near you.
* Compost your jack-o-lantern in your backyard or curbside collection bin, at a Greenmarket food scrap collection or see if community groups and gardens near you accept scraps for composting. Make it a family affair, complete with snacks, at a Pumpkin Smash 2014 event, sponsored by the NYC Compost Project.
* Too much candy? Find a local dentist participating in Halloween Candy Buyback, where kids can get prizes or even cash. Candy is donated to Operation Gratitude, for inclusion in care packages for troops overseas.
Over 100 bags of recyclable materials were collected by volunteers.
The highly celebrated National Puerto Rican Day Parade that descended upon Manhattan's Fifth Avenue on Sunday, June 8 was red and white and green all over. A plan to educate participants about waste reduction, reuse and recycling resulted in more than 318 pounds of recyclable materials collected by GrowNYC and the Sierra Club Puerto Rico chapter. 50 volunteers trained by GrowNYC's office of Recycling Outreach and Education marched in the parade alongside the Puerto Rico Chapter of the Sierra Club in an effort to help an estimated audience of 2,000,000 keep it green. With signs and banners within in hand, volunteers approached spectators to collect beverage bottles and other recyclables for the duration of the event. GrowNYC's free event recycling services included volunteer recruitment, outreach to parade float participants before the event, education on recycling rules and the creation of an event recycling plan to reduce waste at the parade.
GrowNYC Greenmarkets are opening for the season throughout the city, bringing with them not only a bounty of fresh regional products, but also expanding weekly opportunities for New Yorkers to recycle textiles and compost food scraps.
In 2007, GrowNYC's newly-created Office of Recycling Outreach and Education began testing a program to collect clothing and textiles at Union Square and Grand Army Plaza Greenmarkets. Tax-deductible donations of textiles such as clothing, shoes and towels are collected and later sorted for reuse, or recycled into new products such as wiping rags and insulation. We quickly discovered New Yorkers' dedication to living sustainably and have met their demand for more recycling--36 Greenmarkets now offer this service, with 10 new locations starting up this spring and summer.
Since 2011, GrowNYC has worked to complement existing Greenmarket food scrap collections run by BIG!Compost and the Lower East Side Ecology Center, to meet the growing chorus of Greenmarket shoppers wishing to bring back trimmings from their weekly market haul. Today, in partnership with the NYC Department of Sanitation and community partners, 38 Greenmarkets host food scrap drop-offs at least once a week. Material collected is transported to one of several local sites in the five boroughs where it is transformed into compost, a fertile soil amendment for use in urban farming and gardening programs.
GrowNYC has collected more than 2.7 million pounds of textiles and 2.85 million pounds of food scraps at dozens of Greenmarket collection sites throughout the city. Together, food scraps and textiles comprise 23% of NYC's waste, making efforts like these critical to reducing the big apple's environmental footprint.
Find a list of Greenmarkets accepting food scraps at www.grownyc.org/compost and a list of textile collection sites at www.grownyc.org/clothing, or call 212-788-7964.
Last night, GrowNYC's Stop 'N' Swap® coordinators, TK Zellers and Carl-Harry Nau, received recognition for their work with the Sigma Alpha Delta Honor Society at Baruch College Society's Induction Ceremony. Affectionately known as our "swapateers," TK and Carl have provided nearly 200 hours of community service opportunities to help Honor Society members achieve their goal for the year. "This award represents our appreciation for GrowNYC's hard work and endless dedication to Sigma," said Ly Bach, chair of the society's volunteer committee. "We would not be able to give back to the community without your help with volunteering events."
Sigma Alpha Delta seeks to provide continuous support for its members in their pursuit of valuable communitarian contributions, with a focus on diversity and for the betterment of present and future generations. Sigma members have volunteered at numerous Stop 'N' Swap community reuse events, helping to sort and display items dropped off and ensuring a smooth operation from start to finish. Sigma Alpha Delta is one of many groups at Baruch that engage with GrowNYC by volunteering at Swaps, other events, and by working with our sister Greenmarket program. This is just the beginning, as GrowNYC looks forward to providing even more opportunities for Baruch students next semester.

Food has always been common ground that brings people together. Now, some New Yorkers are uniting over the scraps. This year the West Side Federation of Senior Supportive Housing (WSFSSH) hosted a Living Green Team Awards Ceremony, to celebrate and recognize superintendents and building managers who set the standard in energy efficiency and water conservation, among other environmental initiatives. In April the 24-building, 1,800+ unit housing and social service agency honored five representatives of buildings that partnered with GrowNYC to improve solid waste management through recycling and composting.

Going into CUNY Baruch College, I knew that I wanted to major in psychology. However, it wasn't until my sophomore year that I realized what branch of psychology I wanted to pursue. Taking an environmental psychology class in the fall of that year opened my eyes to the problems happening all around us like the issues of littering, climate change, and the fracking of oil and natural gas. Before taking that class, I was completely oblivious about the world around me, and never realized the real importance of the environment. Of course, I didn't litter but it was simply because I have always had an issue with seeing trash lying on the floor. After taking this class, I realized that this was the branch I wanted to study further in depth; the study of how humans view the environment and how their actions in the environment provide harmful and dire consequences to their health, their lifestyles and everyone around them. I knew that I wanted to make a change in this world, for our future generations to thrive successfully and healthily.
Growing up in Queens, I've always perceived New York City as a city that focused so little on making the world greener and more on establishing new businesses and infrastructure for one goal only: money. I perceived people as those who only focused on what is going on today, oblivious to the impacts their actions provide for the future. Earlier in my junior year, I began looking for internships on my school's website, trying to find opportunities to make New York City greener and eco-friendly. That's when I stumbled upon a volunteer/internship opportunity with…GrowNYC.
I decided to volunteer with GrowNYC because I knew I wanted to make a difference in this world, and be a part of an organization that is aware of the troubles all around us and promote effective solutions. One of the things GrowNYC does is bring awareness on the importance of recycling to local residents and local officials. They address many issues that exist within the five boroughs in New York City and provide solutions to take on these issues.
One of the issues they tackled was how much clothes are disposed every year in the trash, instead of being recycled or donated. What I found surprising was that during the course of one year, NYC residents will throw away about 200,000 tons of clothing, from t-shirts to towels to handbags, simply because it is more convenient than going to a thrift store to donate old clothes. GrowNYC has sought to relieve this issue with their weekly textile collections at Greenmarkets throughout the five boroughs and coordinate special one-time collections in apartment buildings, special events, libraries and more. Having interacted with other GrowNYC volunteers and the staff, I was able to learn more about what compels people to participate and see their tremendous dedication in providing solutions that benefit us and the environment.
GrowNYC also works to connect people with resources such as the re-fashioNYC initiative of the Department of Sanitation (DSNY), which funds GrowNYC's recycling programs. Designed to make recycling clothing more convenient, re-fashioNYC places clothing collection bins in residential buildings and services them at no cost. See how easy it can be to recycle textiles with my infographic!

GrowNYC's Office of Recycling Outreach and Education works with apartment buildings throughout the five boroughs to identify their challenges to recycling, improve recycling setup and educate all who live and work in the building. Take the Jamie Towers Cooperative Apartments, for example. For the past year, GrowNYC has worked with this 4-building, 600-unit complex in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx. We began with a "chute room makeover" on all floors to ensure that recycling areas had the appropriate signage, labeling, bins and bags. We then provided recycling trainings for all maintenance workers and workshops for building residents, who received sets of our Sort & Store recycling totes to help separate materials in their apartments. With the success of these initiatives, the property has gone from producing two bags of recyclables to a veritable mountain of material recovered for a second life. With our help, the building also established an on-site textile recycling collection and became one of the first buildings in the Bronx to collect electronics through the city's e-cycleNYC program. Want help for your apartment building? Send a message to one of our recycling coordinators!
How do you improve recycling in NYC schools? Involve the whole school in the effort!
Recycling protects our environment, stimulates economic development creating local jobs, and reduces global warming gases, benefitting the entire community. At these K-12 Staten Island schools in the Recycling Champion Program , involving the entire community was the key to increasing recycling and environmental stewardship, but the additional benefits experienced have been an added bonus.
New Dorp High School
New Dorp High School improved cafeteria Organics Collection by launching an outreach campaign. Principal Deirdre De Angelis emphasized the importance of student participation before televising a recycling video in every classroom, featuring their mascot, the Cougar. Custodial staff installed movie theatre style stantions next to the recycling station and additional staff instruction reinforced sorting. The Green Team sustained the effort by putting up posters and offering prizes for exemplary stewardship. Cafeteria recycling and organics collection increased by at least 60%.
Students really appreciate the added bonus: the cafeteria is much cleaner, and is a more pleasant place to eat. Cafeteria staff doesn't mind the change either, since they were cleaning up after the students!
P.S. 30 Westerleigh
P.S. 30 dramatically increased recycling across the school by creating a Green Team that helps with cafeteria monitoring, and also communicates with the student body during morning announcements. They kicked off their efforts with a school wide contest to decorate all their classroom paper recycling bins. The faculty enthusiastically supported the contest through their artistic flare and integrating recycling into lesson plans. The school's overall diversion rate improved by 31%, with paper recycling rates increasing by 63% in just a few week. Parents volunteered weekly to assist the Green Team with their own educational presentation. According to Sustainability Coordinator Clare Mitchell, participating on this selective team has increased not only ecological literacy and stewardship, but has also proved to be an effective tool to improve attitude and behavior – improving overall academic performance.
P.S. 21 Margaret Emery Elm Park
P.S. 21 created Dr. Seuss-like trees made from milk cartons, soda bottles, and magazines, to reinforce recycling, but also give students a creative way to practice their writing skills. Students wrote "their story" on individual "leaves" which were strung on wire bases to create the trees. Decorating the school at holiday time, Principal Gina Merino's enthusiasm for the project helped student vocabulary "grow" along with school pride and awareness of environmental issues. The Recycling Champions Program science class lessons reinforced the three RRR's, which overlap with many requirements in the science Common Core and Regents exams.
Stakeholders in these schools increased recycling by working together, sharing the responsibility to teach and encourage environmental stewardship. Improving recycling programs benefitted not only the NYC community, but their own school community as well.

GrowNYC collects food scraps and other organic waste at various Greenmarkets around the city to distribute to local compost partners in the surrounding area. With the help of community volunteers, New York City's recycled food scraps are transformed into a nutrient rich soil amendment for farming and greening purposes throughout the five boroughs.
A few minutes' walk from the F train, Gowanus Canal Conservancy's (GCC) Salt Lot hosts a monthly compost windrow build for volunteers from around the city. November's volunteers included about a dozen students from the Brooklyn Technical High School's Red Cross Club, a group of elementary students from a Bed-Stuy Charter School, and a myriad of volunteers simply happy to enjoy an outdoor-community activity.
Sam and Maria Pruden of Harlem join GCC monthly to participate in composting. Behind Sam and Maria is an illustration of the compost build and process.
The volunteers arrived ready to tackle the record-breaking 10,000 pounds of food scraps that had been collected from four Greenmarkets the day before. The bins of food scraps are dumped and mixed in a large pile on the ground with leaves and yard scraps, taking about 4 hours. The pile, or windrow, will sit for two weeks, and then be turned by a GCC staff member once a week for the following four weeks, before it is sifted to make a final product. At the end of these six weeks, GCC has a fertile soil amendment for tree pits and rain gardens that help prevent polluted water from entering the canal.
Two students from Brooklyn Technical School's Red Cross Club carry a bin of food scraps to the compost pile to be mixed with leaves and other dry yard trimmings.
GCC Coordinators Jared McGuire and Christine Petro, sift processed compost to make final product with a Bed-Stuy group leader.
Christine Petro has been volunteering with GCC for almost two years and has noticed a steady increase in the amount of food scraps being delivered from the weekend markets over the past three months. Salt Lot is just one of many community compost sites around the city. Asked about the objective of these local projects, she says, "The objective is twofold: to have a positive environmental impact for the surrounding community, and also to teach the practice of composting for educational and applications going forward."

Since 2007, GrowNYC's Office of Recycling Outreach and Education has been hosting community swap events to reduce waste and engage residents in the practice of reuse. Stop 'N' Swap® helps keep good things out of the landfill by bringing together people with good things they no longer need and those who can use those items. We have held 47 swaps so far, serving nearly 12,000 New Yorkers. With the addition of two new staff dedicated to our Stop 'N' Swap program, we aim to dramatically increase access to these events. Meet TK Zellers and Carl-Harry Nau, the team working to bring a swap to each of the city's 59 Community Districts each year.
What's your favorite part of the job?
CHN: At a Stop 'N' Swap you have a diverse group of people show up all looking for something new to add to their life. Interacting with the folks at the swap is fun because you get a sense of who they are and why they are here, and I get to see cool new stuff.
TKZ: Telling people who've never heard of Stop 'N' Swaps about what they are and what we do. There's always a moment of disbelief, and it sometimes takes some convincing to get people to believe that, for instance, 'it's totally free!', but in the end everyone I talk to is impressed, happy, and excited to get swapping! I've even got some high-fives, and one hug so far.
Have you always been inclined to reuse things?
CHN: I grew up in a house with two brothers and both my parents working their tails off to pay rent. So it was safe to say things like clothes, cell phones, video games, and toys were passed down from one child to the next. I even took some items that my friends no longer wanted. Reusing is second nature.
TKZ: I always liked the idea of repurposing things for more creative uses. Every gift I gave anyone until about the age of 16 was handmade out of old papers, cans, bottles and duct tape. My artistic talent didn't ever live up to my aspirations, but it's the thought that counts, and ugly or not, that soda-can-picture-frame stayed out of the waste stream!
What are some of the reactions you get when bringing a swap to a community for the first time?
CHN: People usually ask whether we'll be back the next week, or when we will return to the neighborhood. Swaps receive a warm reception from those who grasp the concept of what we do and they also conjure feelings of regret by those who pass by and realize what they missed out on.
Does the swap change from neighborhood to neighborhood, or is it relatively consistent?
CHN: I have noticed the items that are swapped change from location to location. Some areas have more books, others have more house wares, and some areas have more children's clothing.
The Stop 'N' Swap volunteers are pretty incredible. What keeps them going? Do you stretch before the event?
CHN: I want to say we have a great staff that works alongside the volunteers at each event. The staff leads by example and takes an "All Hands On Deck" approach during all aspects of the event. We also care for the opinions and concerns of our volunteers and take care to assign them to appropriate tasks. I will say stretching is not a bad idea!
TKZ: We haven't come up with a Stop 'N' Swap calisthenics warm-up routine yet, but we do make sure to supply everyone with plenty of food and coffee before and after. I think a big motivator is how much fun Swaps can be. You never know what you're going to find at the sorting table, and impromptu fashion shows and 'what-is-this' guessing games are common. Everyone manages to have a good time while helping hundreds of people find a new home for thousands of pounds of good, reusable stuff.
What is one of your favorite swap moments?
CHN: At our Upper West Side swap I spoke with a woman who came to gather items for her friends at a nursing home. She said that she had the ability to leave the facility and she knew that the others would have relished the opportunity to attend. Later I was asked by someone from the neighborhood what items people like to take at swaps and I told her sometimes people come looking for items to help others, such as the woman from the nursing home. At that point I created a connection between them and the lady who lived in the area left and returned with 6 new walkers, which went back to the residents of the nursing home.
What do you hope people take away from the experience?
CHN: I hope they understand that everything they own has value, and even though they may no longer need the item that someone else can use it. I hope the joy people get from the items they find encourages them to continue to participate and bring their unwanted items so that they can have a second life.
TKZ: Besides a few pounds of reused items, I hope people leave Stop 'N' Swaps with a newfound respect for reuse, and a curiosity to find out more about using and wasting less. There are so many resources to help people figure out ways to repurpose, repair, recycle or reuse anything we might otherwise just waste. GrowNYC and Stop 'N' Swaps are a great place to start!

James Weir has urged Manchester United's Under-21s to recover from Thursday night's late setback against Norwich City and clinch a place in the semi-finals.
The Reds looked well on course to secure a top-four finish at Old Trafford when Weir scored twice after coming off the bench to replace injured striker James Wilson. However, the Canaries netted twice in the final 10 minutes to force a rather undeserved draw despite losing Raymond Grant to a red card.
Warren Joyce's side must pick themselves up for a dramatic final fixture at Reading's Madejski Stadium next Thursday, knowing victory will keep hopes of retaining the trophy alive.
"It's really tough to take," Weir conceded to MUTV. "We were 2-0 up with 15 minutes left – we should see out the game. We got unlucky with the penalty and then another deflected goal. We just need to keep our heads up and go on and beat Reading now.
"They sat back quite a lot for the whole game. When Willo went off, I didn't think we'd be able to get a goal after that. Luckily, I got a tap-in and then another goal and we opened up the game a bit. Maybe we opened up a little too much as it's finished 2-2.
"One of them was probably the easiest goal in football. I think Louis Rowley's got the flick-on and I wasn't sure if it was going in anyway so I made sure I got it across the line. The other one, I think it was Guillermo Varela who did really well on the right side and cut it back. I got in there

With casting for the principal roles in "Watchmen" being completed, it seems the next task that filmmakers of the project have in mind now is supposedly finding a bunch of acting talents for the supporting characters in the movie.
What is interesting here is that the roles turn out to be real-life famous names from the 1980s, the era during which the film takes place. Concerning this matter, Moviehole.net has delightfully provided a rundown of the figures that will be appearing in the flick:

Do You Feel Guilty Working From Home?
Hi Lynn, I'm sitting here in my PJ's at 12.30pm working from home and I thought of you – how you often mention working in your PJ's in your blog posts. I wondered if you could tell me how you do this without feeling guilty. I feel like I'm doing something wrong and even a bit anxious (weird eh?).
Cheers, Trish
I had to smile when I got this note from Trish. As you can see in the photo above, and her reference to other posts & pictures I've shared in the past, I'm often working in my comfies – and curled up with my great dane on the chaise, even!
Do I feel guilty? Not in the least! But there was a time that I did…
That time was years ago, mind you, when it was less accepted to work from home – which I've been doing for more than 14 years now (since the late 90's).
I remember about 10 years ago when I was working poolside all summer. I forwarded my business number to my cell phone, which was sitting on a cooler beside my lawn chair.
This was back when I was still doing service-based business, and if a client called I would quickly quiet the kids who were splashing in the pool before I took the call.
I wouldn't necessarily say I felt "guilty" about it… but I did feel like my clients probably wouldn't pay my rates if they knew about my (awesome) work environment. LOL. Personally I didn't feel my surroundings affected the quality of my work, but there's a little thing called perceived value that concerned me…
There was one time that was particularly funny, when I had taken a phone call from a brand new client I really wanted to land. We were in the cabin when the call came in, and I gave the children my usual "this is work" hand signal and took the call.
My daughter, 5 years old at the time, knew that any questions had to wait until I got off the phone.
All of a sudden I hear this loud popping and snapping and see lightning coming out of the kitchen! Knowing my daughter had gone in there, I dropped the phone mid-conversation and ran in there to rescue her.
It turns out she had put tinfoil in the microwave. Sweet that she was making her own lunch. Sweet that she didn't ask questions, though she told me later she wasn't sure if she could put it in there but knew not to ask while I was on the phone (lol).
I got her out of there and stopped the microwave, and just busted out laughing. You had to see the look on her face standing there watching it explode before her little eyes. LOL. Then I remembered the phone…
I picked the phone up off the floor where I'd dropped it and heard the lady laughing hysterically. We both had a good laugh over it when I told her the story, and she said it was neat that I was able to work from home with my children. I got the contract too, by the way.
Of course, now it's much more accepted to telecommute or work from home, and home based businesses have gained more respect. It's not something I ever really think about any more at all.
It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm wearing. The quality of my work speaks for itself. I might be curled up in bed with the flu in my PJ's, or sitting in an airport doing email from my smart phone. But most of the people I'm communicating with… are receiving my content or email in the exact same conditions on their end.
All said and done, it simply doesn't matter. It's certainly not something to worry over or feel anxious about. Obviously you wouldn't go into a corporate job dressed in your bathrobe, or lounge around with your feet up on the desk while working through tasks in an office, but hey – that's the perks of working from home!
What about you – do you have any reservations about your home office environment or your work-at-home dress code? Do you hide the fact that you're at home when talking with clients or merchants?
I've struggled with this same thing. Locally we're about 10 years in the past for workplace conditions and mindset, so I usually meet people in a public place known for work meetings, like Panera. My biggest issue is wanting to answer questions like this one via video for my TV site and YouTube, but not having the hair/clothes, etc. fixed up to look presentable. Yet, my work quality is the same, sometimes even better, when I'm barefoot in comfy shorts & a ratty old t-shirt.
The best part about working from home is when that idea strikes you at 3am you have the luxury of taking a nap the next day. LOVE that.

When my sister is shoveling herself out of her driveway at six in the morning, heading off to deliver mail in nasty weather – I feel compassion for her – and wish she could enjoy staying in like me. It's not guilt… but it comes close.
Erica CosminskyJun 29 - 10:34 pm
I honestly don't feel guilty about working at home. If my daughter is at home when I have to take a call, I always mention at the beginning that they may hear her. I do try to schedule calls on days she's not here but it doesn't always work. Most of the time, either the other person understands what it's like to work with children around or they are surprised its possible to actually get anything done.
I will say I've been embarrassed a time or two. One morning I woke up late for a 9 am Skype call, snatched my laptop out from under the bed and accidentally answered with video, hair all a mess and in my pjs. o_O
Carol BremnerJun 29 - 10:47 pm
I don't feel guilty, but I hate to explain why I'm still in my pj's. So I slip a housedress over them and work away at my computer. Then if someone comes to the door, I actually look like I'm dressed – which I do eventually do:)
Louise Barnes-JohnstonJun 30 - 1:46 am
I don't feel guilty about working from home anymore – I love it! Trouble is, it now seems a chore to put on full make-up & business dress on the days I go networking or to meetings. Can relate to Erica's Skype experience – am always very careful which button I press to answer calls
Matt PocJun 30 - 2:44 am
Well, when I started working from home, I did not feel gilty at all. It was funny and I liked it!
I didn't really care what others think about me, I was just very happy that I was able to work from home with my computer.
However, now I would like to work from office… people think I am crazy. But here's why I want it – I know my productivity will increase if I do that, because sometimes I do not accomplish any work from home at all… How about you, Lynn? Do you think that working from office is more productive?
Thanks Lynn & everyone else, I'll keep working on not feeling guilty working in my PJ's, I think it goes back to the days when the kids were all still home and we always got lots of visitors, so I always tried to look respectable, now days it's usually just me & Gus (my Whippet). We are a very lucky bunch aren't we?
When I first started working from home I had this same complex. I got up, went straight to the shower, got all spiffed up…My husband seriously used to make a point of telling people about how I carried on just as though I was still working "out there."
Four years later? Well, let's just say I haven't heard him tell people that in quite a while. Though he has told me that he would like to come home sometimes and not find me my PJs. lol
Patty GaleJun 30 - 6:14 am
Coming from a previous corporate background of suits, heels and a briefcase, I have never felt guilty about working from home in whatever clothes the mood strikes me.
Do I feel empathy for some of my neighbors who still do the daily 9 -5 grind of the living dead.. sometimes, yes.
AllisonJun 30 - 7:59 am
ohhh…I love working from home but do feel a bit guilty when my husband leaves for work every morning. He can't wait to retire and start working from home too.
dawnauroraJun 30 - 8:02 am
Hi lynn,
I love working from home with the kids surrounding me. I have done videos with the kids making faces in the background. My visitors and clients seem to enjoy it and love commenting on the kids. They are my ice breaker.
AmeliaJun 30 - 9:32 am
I've been home with kids for 15 years, but only recently started working from home. I especially love my mornings free of the normal chaos I see friends and family go through. Guilt? Nah . . . Some of them don't even realize how good I've got it. They feel "sorry for me" for being "stuck" at home all day. Haha!
DeAnna TroupeJun 30 - 11:32 am
I love working in my pjs. Of course my pjs are technically sweats so if I do have to jump up to answer the door, I still look sorta decent. However, if I have to really be productive I'll "dress up". This consists of putting on a dress or a polo top and some khakis. Now if I have to do a video and my hair is not done yet, I just put on a wig and keep it moving. I'm always afraid that if I wait the four hours it will take me to twist my hair, I'll forget what I was going to say.
I am guilt free these days, but there were days when I had that guilt feeling, especially early on in my journey. I think this guilt thing applies more for women than for men working from home, I think society casts a different light on women entrepreneurs than men – which of course is silly and we know that, but we still get that "weird" feeling at first.
If I had left my kids to go to work, put them in after school care, had someone else do their homework with them, I would have felt guilty. And yes, it took me a while to get over the guilty feeling that just because I didn't get up and put on pantyhose that I wasn't *doing* enough – even though I was.
A friend of mine once said, "The guilt is delivered with the placenta." No matter which path we choose, I think we (especially women) all need to just get over that feeling of guilt.
AnnaJul 01 - 6:59 am
Sure, we can work from home and the office with the same result, but when you work at home you are gulity because you stay in a better conditions than the people in the office. I still feel guilty that I sometimes work from home. I don't know how much time I will need to get rid of it.
zainJul 01 - 1:39 pm
I do a job of 5 hours work and spend on freelancing jobs 9 hours.It is good to do work at home.It is more rewarding.
I mostly feel delighted about the whole thing. I've got it good and I know it. I feel bad sometimes if I have to work when my kids want me, but most days I have a good balance.
Bob MoldashelJul 01 - 9:51 pm
Working from home blows away driving 2+ hours back and forth to NYC. I left the guilt in my truck. I just wish I was at the point to stay home all the time.
—-Guilt Free Bob
Rick WilsonJul 03 - 9:54 pm
Feel Guilty? Me? Someone whose online handle is CorpRebel?
Nah … Most people don't understand what I do anyway, so there's no reason for me to feel any guilt. heh heh
I really have no use for much of the formality in the usual business world. Heck, you won't find a suit, let alone a tie anywhere in my home. I'm a casual sort of guy. LOL
Happy 4th!
Rick Wilson aka CorpRebel
Most of my college friends laughed at me when I started my home business ,and laughed at me again when I failed miserably. So, I've been working from home for about 7 years now without any guilt. Now I silently laugh at them.
Neah, it's a job like any other. Sometimes i even want my 8 hour job back, at least i had some kind of schedule then.
AccziaAug 16 - 4:30 am
I don't feel guilty working from home. I completed my engineering in 2004. Then i worked with a MNC for 2 years. Then i started working from HOME. I don't feel guilty or bad at all but yes sometimes people ask stupid questions like, "Dint you get a good job" blah blah. I never mind these things because one day will come when I'll be successful like any other person.
Alaska Charter BoatsAug 16 - 4:33 am
it's up to you how do you balance your life. working from home never makes you feel guilty,,not at all. But yes if you do in wrong way then sometimes it can cause.

Biomedicine Editor
I'm the biomedicine editor for MIT Technology Review. I look for stories where technology stands to improve human health or advance our understanding of the human condition.
I joined MIT Technology Review in March 2012 after a brief stint in the Washington, D.C., news bureau of the scientific journal Nature. Before I ventured to the East Coast, I spent several years in the San Francisco Bay Area as a doctoral student in molecular biology and one whirlwind year in science-writing boot camp in Santa Cruz.
In California, I wrote for the Stanford University press offices, the Multiple Sclerosis Discovery Forum, and the Salinas Californian newspaper. I grew up in a small town in eastern Texas, surrounded by bird song, rolling cattle fields, and lanky pine trees. When I'm not exploring health tech, you will probably find me cooking or giggling over an exceptional LOLcat.

This is NOT a shoe to do anything in other then stand around and maybe a little walking. Coming from a running shoe company, I'm shocked I won't return because the black/gray look outstanding.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Entomology Department has started a program to teach high school students how to use radio tracking technology to learn about queen bees.
The project is tentatively called "Bumble Boosters 2.0," a reboot of one that ran from 1999 to 2002. Doug Golick, an assistant professor in entomology at UNL, was a student during the original "Bumble Boosters." That original program simply had high school students collect bumblebees to track the different species in the area. Golick and his colleagues are now trying to attach radio tracking devices to bumblebee queens.
The goal is to see where they decide to start a nest and where they go between emergence and finding a nest.

North Korea Calls Obama "Crossbreed," Wicked Monkey in Insane Racist Diatribeby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
A North Korean state-run news agency launched an insanely racist diatribe against U.S. President Barack Obama this month, unleashing one vile insult after another.
The rogue state called the U.S.'s first African-American head of state a "crossbreed with unclear blood" and a "wicked black monkey," among other terms.
The agency also said that Obama "still has the figure of monkey while the human race has evolved through millions of years," and went on to denounce him:
"It would be perfect for Obama to live with a group of monkeys in the world's largest African natural zoo and lick the bread crumbs thrown by spectators."
The diatribe was recently brought to light by Josh Stanton, who blogs often about North Korea, following Obama's recent invitation to South Korea.
The issue of race has real resonance in North Korea, where the Stalinist regime has gone to great lengths to instill a sense of racial purity in its citizens.
Some background from The Washington Post: "When North Korea talks about race, it's almost always important, and telling about the state ideology."
"North Koreans fundamentally have a race-based worldview, showing more similarity to fascist Japan during World War II than Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union."
They also have no economy, human rights or value to speak of.
North Korea's state orthodoxy is described as "too pure blooded, and therefore too virtuous, to survive in this evil world without a great parental leader."
It's also run by tyrants and a terrible, terrible place to live.
Dennis Rodman had no comment, but Kim Kardashian, who just learned racism is a thing that exists and is totally appalled, plans an Instagram rebuttal.
V. Stiviano, meanwhile, is figuring out how she can romance the married Kim Jong Un, then secretly record his disturbing ramblings and leak the tape to TMZ.
This is Nk looking to provoke usa its nothing more than banter just look at what the americans call everyone else!
That statement doesn't carry the same meaning in Korean culture,..as monkeys are generally considered to be a symbol of good luck.
a new comedian has born?
OBAMA wear mom-jeans and rides a girl's bike w/training wheels!
oBUMa is the nation's first black bastard prez'a dint.Im surprised he didn't put spinners on the secret service SUVs....and make the national meal fried chicken and the natial pet a gorilla.
Have you considered an education above 2nd grade ? To much of a challenge for you perhaps?
As awful as this is its hardly the worst thing these people have done or said they are literally brain washed to believe that americans are the reason for there suffering having no idea that its actually all because of there bat shit crazy leader....guaranteed if gossip sites would write about this more often people would do more to help them

FRIDAY, March 14, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- If watching other people yawn makes you yawn in response, don't chalk it up to empathy.
A new study challenges the supposed link between "contagious" yawning and being on the same emotional wavelength.
Contagious yawning is well documented and occurs in response to seeing, thinking or hearing about yawning. It's different than spontaneous yawning, which is linked with being tired or bored.
Some studies have suggested an association between yawning and empathy, but this new research found that contagious yawning may decrease with age and is not strongly associated with empathy, tiredness or energy levels.
The Duke University researchers came to their conclusions after recording the number of times that 328 healthy people yawned while watching a three-minute video of people yawning.
Some participants were more susceptible to contagious yawns than others, with the number of yawns per person ranging from zero to 15, according to the study published March 14 in the journal PLOS ONE.
Age was the only independent factor that significantly influenced contagious yawning. The older the person, the less likely they were to yawn while watching the video. However, age explained only 8 percent of the differences in the participants' responses to the video, the researchers said.
"The lack of association in our study between contagious yawning and empathy suggests that contagious yawning is not simply a product of one's capacity for empathy," study author Elizabeth Cirulli, an assistant professor of medicine at the Center for Human Genome Variation at Duke University School of Medicine, said in a university news release.
The researchers noted that contagious yawning is less common in people with autism or schizophrenia, and that learning more about the biology behind contagious yawning could help improve understanding about those disorders.
