Work got you down? Singing the office blues? Well, if you work at home, maybe it's time to stop singing the blues and start painting your office….in shades of blue! I recently read that people are more productive in blue rooms. So if you want to get more done in less time, I suggest taking cues from this beautiful office designed by JLV Creative. Take a look at the five different tutorials I've found to get the look of this pretty blue office for less.
5 Ways to Get This Look: Blue Office
5 Ways to Get This Look: Pink and Gray Office Space
Having a dedicated place to sit down and work, write, chat on the phone, or make lists is a luxury not all of us enjoy in our homes. It's called an office space, and those of us who have a dedicated room for one need to count our blessings! Surprisingly enough, you don't have to go to a designer showroom to get furniture like what's pictured in the room above. There are ways to get that look for less, and I'm about to show you five.
Gold and White Ombre Thrifted Lamp
I love a quick makeover that involves spray paint. Like Sarah, I am not afraid to take a worn out old lamp and make it fabulous with a little spray paint. Sarah tackled a worn out thrifted lamp with some white and gold paint and made it look modern and chic. Hi Infarrantly Creative friends! {…Read More…}
DIY Yellow Ombre Lamp
I am changing out our color scheme in our family room. We painted the walls a light gray color which really helped lighten the space. Then I added the new painted striped curtains and now I am moving onto the lamps. They were red and now with a few cans of spray paint I turned them into some DIY ombre lamps.

Southern NH towns experimenting with eTickets for traffic stops
In an effort to save time, paper and lives, the Pelham, Windham and Salem police departments have been chosen to test out a new eTicket system that could end up replacing the long-standing tradition of police writing tickets.
If the system tests well at the three local departments, the state Department of Safety said the ultimate goal is to make the system available to every law enforcement agency in the state. State police have been using eTicket for the past year.
"Obviously any kind of technology that makes our jobs more efficient and increases safety and time is a good thing," said Salem Police Deputy Chief Shawn Patten.
Lt. Gary Fisher of the Pelham Police Department said the new system would save paper, reduce redundancy and simplify a system that can sometimes be very complicated.
"And as far as being on the side of the roadway, you would see a substantial difference," Fisher said.
Based on preliminary testing, Fisher said the system could reduce the amount of time officers spend issuing tickets to only two minutes.
"Then we'll see if there are any kinks that we have to work out," Fisher said.
According to the Department of Safety, which is overseeing the implementation of the eTicket system, if the testing of the equipment goes well, the technology could be made available to 140 local police departments across the state within the next six months.
"This collaborative effort by the department's Division of State Police, Motor Vehicles, staff from the Department of Information Technology and the judicial branch is a great example of what can be accomplished by working together toward a shared goal that ultimately will benefit everyone in the criminal justice system, and the citizens of the State of New Hampshire," Department of Safety Commissioner John J. Barthelmes said.
With 54,000 traffic tickets issued annually, and more than 200 police departments throughout the state, Department of Safety officials say that after the successful implementation of the eTicket system by state police, it only makes sense to try to expand it to local departments throughout the state.
The eTicket system works by issuing a traffic ticket by computer from the police cruiser instead of having a police officer hand write it. Then, the cruiser's onboard computer automatically transmits the data to the Department of Safety, Division of Motor Vehicles where the information will be sent electronically to the judicial branch case management system.
"We are working towards the goal of getting rid of paper completely," said Keith Lohmann, of the Department of Safety. Lohmann added that the eTicket system will be more efficient, accurate and safe for troopers and motorists on the side of busy roads.
Fisher said Pelham's department has yet to actually test the system in the field, but that the preliminary testing they have done so far has worked perfectly. Once the preliminary testing is complete, Fisher said the eTicket system will be installed in one police cruiser and tested in real scenarios.
Patten said that Salem police have yet to test the system.
Capt. Michael Caron of the Windham Police Department is more skeptical. He said while the eTicket program might make ticketing a more efficient process, he doesn't think it will shorten the amount of time spent on the side of the road.
"Obviously it would be more efficient, but there is some apprehension; there will probably be some bugs as we test it. But this is progress. We should be using technology to the fullest. If it is there, let's do it," Caron said.
If the eTicket program does indeed shorten the amount of time spent on the side of the road, many motorists say they would welcome the system as it could make being pulled over safer. But for some Granite Staters, the testing and possible implementation of the eTicket system statewide is cause for concern.
Tony Hayes of Merrimack said he would not like to see the eTicket program expand to Merrimack.
"You're watched day and night, you can't go anywhere. I have never been worried being pulled over, and most of the police are respectful when they pull you over. I don't see anything wrong with the way things are now," Hayes said.
John Malkowski of Nashua agreed that he has never been nervous about other motorists when pulled over, and said it is good the system is being tested before being rolled out across the state.
"I don't know if it is a good idea yet," he said.
However, many drivers said cutting down on the amount of time spent on the side of the road when pulled over would be welcome.
Eric Brouart of Nashua said that streamlining the process of getting pulled over would make the experience safer for everyone involved.
"Especially in Nashua, where there is a lot of traffic and blocked lanes," he said.
For Roberta Woitkoski of Nashua, the eTicket program is just a sign of the times.
"Everything is going electronic anyway, and my initial gut reaction is it would save time which would make it safer because a lot people on the road are not paying attention."

Last Game - 12/7 @ Rider (4-5) L 68-80

Calvin Johnson Under 11.5 TDs 3 units
Ravens Over 8.5 Wins 3 units
Bills Under 6.5 Wins 3 units
Spread up to 5.5 now. If It goes to 6 I'm gonna take the Eagles for 1 unit. I likely to take them anyway though but I'd feel a lot better with 6 than 5.5.
They've shown fight recently and road non-conference faves of 3 or more who are divisional dogs next week are 8-22 ATS.
I will start drinking during this game at my buddies, then when it's over we will all watch that old cartoon version of the Hobbit, then at midnight I'll be going to see The Hobbit. I will be hammered.
Prayers out to Eric Berry.
Does anyone want to hear about my fantasy team? I know my updates brighten all your days up, i'm taking it as a given that you'd like to hear me talk about my difficult flex decisions.
Really need the Iggles to bring it tonight.
My Steelers are taking on water like crazy, and a Bengals loss would be huge.

Eddie House's favorite opponent to sign with Miami
According to the Miami Herald, Rafer Alston plans to sign with Miami after being bought out of his contract by the New Jersey Nets.
Back in the day, whenever I head Alston's name I would think, "Skip to my Lou."
Now, when I hear Alston's name, I think, "That's what happens when you start bustin' somebody's ass."
Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch this video, and if you don't want to see anything extra, fast forward it to 54 seconds in…
Unfortunately, we won't get to see House-Alston round two tonight: House is sick with the flu, and Alston won't be able to sign with the Heat until Thursday, when he becomes eligible to clear waivers.

Being a good pastor is more than what one does. Good ministry cannot be defined by a list of actions in a particular call. What one does as a pastor must flow from who one is as a person called by God. This sense of vocation infuses the actions of the individual, transcends any job description and grants the freedom and resources necessary to fulfill the promise to serve "with energy, intelligence, imagination and love" as proscribed in the Book of Order (W-4.4003.h).

6 tips to help if you are dumped during the Holidays
Getting "let go of," separated or "dumped" is one of the most humiliating, depressing, and emotionally difficult experiences most of us will ever go through. For many couples, feeling more distance and tension are preludes that their partner isn't happy and wants out of the relationship. Many of those same couples assume their partner will wait until after the holidays to lower the boom, not imagining anyone could be so cruel as to break it off during this time of year. When the split happens prior to or during all of the festivities, it leaves you feeling shocked, abandoned, desperate and depressed. Along with the actual break up, the holidays come at the worst time of year with shorter days and longer nights. When this happens to you, it is unwise to try and convince your partner to hang on for a few more weeks or shame them into re-committing to you.
When men or women call me for advice, telling me they have been dumped, it would be easier for me to tell them what not to do. Don't give your ex a call to come over for sex, and don't harm their property or body. If you have kids, don't use the kids to try and cajole them to come back. Although these points seem obvious, when you are in the panic and desperation of wanting your "old life back," these ideas seem logical. Make no mistake, they are not. Your partner will use them for reasons why you are too crazy for them and why they have to exit the relationship. There will be very few ways to comfort yourself with immediate soothing; however, with time and taking some control back with these suggestions, it won't be long before you are feeling stronger.
1. Reach out and help someone else. A study in Personnel Psychology noted that there is a 25% improvement in mood when helping others. The less you focus on yourself right now the better.
2. If at all possible, get away for the holidays. No matter when a break-up happens, the first holiday alone is bad. Go somewhere or make plans to spend the holidays with someone.
3. Don't wait for the New Year to join a gym. You won't feel like exercising, but you need to go. The endorphins that are released during a gym work out help alleviate depression and anxiety.
4. Journal your thoughts, and write at least one thing you are grateful for each day. Take your journal to bed with you and place it on a side table. When you cannot sleep, write. It helps to get your thoughts out on paper. Feeling grateful despite your misery helps it hurt less.
5. Counseling can help, and most counselors have extended hours during the holidays. A counselor will help guide you through the trenches immediately following a break up. They also help you focus on the big picture when this small piece feels like your whole life.
6. No one should go through a break up without good friends and family. This is a time to be able to ask for support. Many of your friends and family probably saw the break up coming long before you did.

Marley Coffee Founder Rohan Marley Featured On Financial News Programs
LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Marley Coffee (OTCBB: JAMN), ( www.marleycoffee.com), a sustainably grown, ethically farmed and artisan roasted gourmet coffee, announced that Rohan Marley, Founder and Chairman, completed a week-long media tour of New York, which included appearances on CNBC's Squawk Box, WNBC-TV, WCBS-AM Radio, NPR, and TheStreet.com.
"The Marley name resonates all around the world," Rohan stated on CNBC's Squawk Box. "I knew that if I could create a quality product and find the proper retail outlets, it would be a great company."
Marley also stated that the company's products are now embraced in thousands of retail outlets including Whole Foods, Dean and Deluca, PC Richard and Son, Bristol Farms, and Kroger Stores.
"What would your father, Bob Marley, think now that his son is the chairman of a publicly traded company?" asked Michael Wallace, host of New York's popular WCBS Morning Drive radio program. "We created a vehicle where people can be a part of something that will last for generation upon generation," Marley replied. "He would be very proud that we're doing something that is sustainable, eco-friendly, and using organic methods.""My goal is to continue to build Marley Coffee distribution and add our own stand-alone retail stores," Rohan commented on TheStreet.com. When asked how he competes with Starbucks and Green Mountain, Rohan said that he is a different kind of coffee company. "Those guys are my predecessors and they laid the foundation so that people like me could enter the coffee business," he stated. "But I really don't try to compete with them. What I do is provide a quality product with a quality taste, that's sustainable, and present it with a proper price structure so when people see it on the shelves, they will want to try it."

On her journey, she is befriended by two vampire hunters and learns that there are three Talisman organs -- a heart, an eye and a rib from her ancestor vampire, Beliar—which Kagan covets, that will make him so powerful that he will throw the earth into darkness and vampires will rule forever.

Target-Date Funds: Fees Continue to Fall While Flexibility Powers Performance
NEW YORK (MainStreet) Target-date mutual funds provide an elegant solution for investors looking for a prudent way to save for retirement. Many advisors don't like them if widely adopted, these funds could eliminate a major portion of their practice, and profits. But the growth of such funds-of-funds is undeniable.
Target-date mutual funds, comprised of investments automatically adjusted for a retirement year goal, now account for $650 billion in assets as of March 31, according to Morningstar research.
Also See: Some of the Richest Retirees Are "Public Pension Millionaires"
In the first quarter alone, investors poured an additional $18 billion into the funds. And fees continue to fall, with built-in investment costs lower for the fifth year in a row. The industry's average asset-weighted fee stood at 0.84% at the end of 2013, down from 1.04% in 2008.Also See: Guaranteed Return Retirement Plans Gain Popularity "Part of that movement comes from a longer-term trend favoring lower-priced index-based investments within target-date funds," writes Janet Yang, a senior fund analyst for Morningstar, in the report. "The Fidelity Freedom Index series, for instance, now holds the mantle of lowest-priced series with its 0.16% asset-weighted fee, replacing Vanguard -- with its 0.17% asset-weighted average expense ratio -- as the cost leader." Fidelity, T. Rowe Price and Vanguard are the "do it for me" mutual fund big dogs, with a combined market share of nearly three-quarters of all target-date fund assets. Index funds continue to thrive, as efforts to beat the market persist in failing. Morningstar's analysis of target-date funds suggests that actively-managed strategies have underperformed for each of the last three years just as they have for the investment industry as a whole. However, target-date fund managers that are given a bit of flexibility in their management of the funds have had a bit of success when compared to more rigidly structured competitors. Having the ability to make shorter-term tactical adjustments to their underlying investments has enhanced performance. "Tactical management has intuitive appeal since it allows managers to attempt to avoid frothy areas of the market or jump into asset classes that appear poised for a rebound," Yang says. "And while academic and industry research have shown it's difficult to consistently make additive market-timing calls, so far, many target-date managers with tactical leeway have delivered strong results relative to peers." But few money managers eat their own cooking. Morningstar reports the vast majority of target-date fund managers don't take a high stake in their own strategies. Only one manager -- Hans Erickson of the TIAA-CREF Lifecycle fund -- has more than $1 million invested in a single target-date fund within the group he manages. --Written by Hal M.

Federal judge orders Osceola County sheriff to issue gun permit
He requires sheriff to take First Amendment course
Federal judge orders Osceola County sheriff to issue gun permit

PRIMGHAR, Iowa -- U.S. District Court Judge Mark W. Bennett has ordered Osceola County Sheriff Douglas L. Weber to issue a gun permit to a resident and to complete a college-level course involving the First Amendment.
Bennetts written decision on Wednesday involves the case of Paul Dorr, of Ocheyedan, who was denied a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Dorr and his son, Alexander, were denied gun permits after being engaged in extensive First Amendment activity -- protesting, passing out leaflets and writing letters to the editor -- the opinion notes.
The court finds a tsunami, a maelstrom, an avalanche, of direct, uncontroverted evidence in Sheriff Webers own testimony to conclude beyond all doubt that he unquestionably violated the First Amendment rights of at least Paul Dorr, Bennett wrote in his ruling.
Dorr said Wednesday that he was pleased justice is served. I get my permit back and the sheriff is being sent back to school. The harm done by Sheriff Weber against the 6th and 9th commandments has been made right."
The elder Dorr had been issued a concealed weapons permit from the late 1990s to 2005. But his July 7, 2007, application for a permit was denied. His sons was denied a year later, when he was 18 years old.
Webers reason for disapproving the application was, concern from public. Dont trust him. The following year Weber also denied Alexander Dorrs application for a permit and informed Paul Dorr that he would deny any further applications from him.
Weber testified that he had heard people refer to Paul as a whacko, delusional, a nut job, a spook, and narcissist, Bennetts decision noted. Regardless of the adjective used to describe Paul, however, Sheriff Weber stated that Pauls lousy reputation was due to his political activities of writing letters to the editor and distributing fliers.
The ruling continued, Giving Sheriff Weber more deference than is due his elected status, the court finds that Sheriff Weber denied Pauls application for a concealed weapons permit not because of the content of his First Amendment activity but because it was effective and agitated many members of the local community.
And, Bennett said, In denying Paul a concealed weapons permit, Sheriff Weber single-handedly hijacked the First Amendment and nullified its freedoms and protections. Ironically, Sheriff Weber, sworn to uphold the Constitution, in fact retaliated against a citizen of his county who used this important freedom of speech and association precisely in the manner envisioned by the founding members of our nation ...
"In doing so, this popularly elected Sheriff, who appears to be a fine man and an excellent law enforcement officer, in all other regards, blatantly caved in to public pressure and opinion and, in doing so, severely trampled the Constitution and Pauls First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and association. This is a great reminder that the First Amendment protects the sole individual who may be a gadfly, kook, weirdo, nut job, whacko, and spook, with the same force of protection as folks with more majoritarian and popular views."
However, Bennetts decision did not favor Dorrs son, who was 18 years old when he applied for the carry permit, and is 20 now. Bennett noted that sheriffs have the discretion to withhold permits from anyone under majority age.
Bennett required Weber take a class that must be a college-level course on the United States Constitution, including -- at least in part -- a discussion of the First Amendment. And Bennet said, Weber must obtain approval from the court before participating in the class. Upon completion of the class, Weber must also file anan affidavit with the clerk of court showing successful completion with a passing grade.
A request left with the dispatcher at the Osceola County law enforcement center, requesting a return call for comment from Sheriff Weber, was not returned, Wednesday night.

Governor Significantly Increases State's Biodiesel Purchase
AUGUSTA -- Governor John E. Baldacci today announced the expanded use of biodiesel to heat state office buildings this winter. In Augusta, the Blaine House, State Planning Office and the Department of Motor Vehicles have been heated since last fall with a B20 blend of biodiesel. This year, the State House, Cross State Office Building, State Museum, and a number of other buildings will also be heated with a biodiesel blend.
"In just over a year after the creation of the Office of Energy Independence and Security, Maine State Government has become a leader nationally for its sustainable energy practices," stated Governor Baldacci. "Expanding the use of biodiesel is a win for energy independence and a win for the environment. The purchase of renewable fuels increases energy efficiency, improves air and water quality, and reduces the risk of global warming."
According to Jean Arbour, Procurement and Contract Manager of the Division of Purchases, Department of Administrative and Financial Services, the price differential between petro-fuel and biodiesel has come down, allowing the State to increase its biodiesel purchase within bugetary constraints. This winter's purchase of nearly 360,000 gallons of a 10 percent biodiesel blend (B10) is a six and one-half fold increase over last year's purchase of 27,000 gaillons of a B20 blend.
Beth Nagusky, Director of the Office of Energy Independence and Security, said that her office continues to explore the economic viability of siting a waste vegetable oil reprocessing facility in Maine to convert used restaurant oil into biodiesel. "We are hoping that the renewable fuel in the State's purchase and the growing demand for this clean, renewable fuel in Maine will help to make such a project economic. said Ms. Nagusky. Maine restaurants produce over 1 million gallons of waste vegetable oil per year. Restaurants pay to have this oil collected and shipped out of state for processing. "Ultimately, Maine's farmers might be able to grow crops that can be used as bio-fuels, further reducing out dependence on imported oil."

HoopsHype Shane Battier rumors
It's unclear yet if ESPN will use Battier, 35, as a game analyst, in the studio, or on the set of College Gameday, which is being revamped. Battier's agent, Jim Ornstein, didn't return a call today seeking comment. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said the network had "no comment." The deal isn't expected to be announced until after the Finals are complete. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced. The Big Lead
Jeff Zillgitt: Not a suprise Shane Battier going to ESPN as college hoops analyst. He switched agencies to a firm that specialized in TV personalities. Twitter @JeffZillgitt
Battier is nearing retirement now, and he can no longer shoot, dribble, or defend like he once did. The Michigan Democratic Party recently called him to see if he might consider running to replace U.S. Senator Carl Levin, Battier said. He declined, but he's closer to retirement than he is to the player who helped Miami unlock its identity. Grantland

Dan Wetzel: Miami's Shane Battier has won NBA's Teammate of the Year award. Official announcement tomorrow. Chauncey Billups won in 2013. Twitter
He said he picked up the habit of reading before games in his first year with the Heat and it has worked so well that he kept it. Teammates have been surprised, but it seems to be working so they leave him alone. "I've had a lot of teammates and they've prepared in a myriad of ways, but Chris is the first one to listen to Beethoven and Tchaikovsky and read a meaty book," Shane Battier said. "Our team is pretty quirky, in case you haven't noticed, and that's one of our quirks. There's interesting rituals going on around here and you just go along with it and don't question it." Palm Beach Post
Ethan J. Skolnick: Yes. Shane Battier is retiring after season. No more equivocating. "It would take an act of God to change it & that act of God hasn't come." Twitter @EthanJSkolnick
Through the tribulations playing out in public and private, one thing never changed in those three seasons in Houston: Lowry was such a student of his craft. Perhaps people never saw it with him, but it's always been true. In Houston, he became a devoted pupil of the analytics movement. He watched Shane Battier's habits so closely and still incorporates those lessons into his regimen. "His preparation for every game is some of the best I've ever seen," Lowry says of Battier. Yahoo! Sports
Joseph Goodman: Battier on raising awareness for A.C. Act: "I don't serve in the military, and I never have, but when my country calls, I heed the calling." Twitter @JoeGoodmanJr
The Obama administration recruited Miami Heat and former Duke basketball player Shane Battier to promote its health care plan Tuesday, tying it to the likelihood of sports injuries. As Battier urged young people to sign up for coverage, the Department of Health and Human Services released a report saying that nearly 2 million people suffered sports-related injuries that were treated in emergency rooms in 2012. "If you're playing sports, it's important to make sure you also have great health care because you never know when you're going to take a hit," Battier said in a conference call with reporters.

The Obama administration recruited Miami Heat and ex-Duke basketball player Shane Battier to promote its health care plan on Monday, tying it to the likelihood of sports injuries. As Battier urged young people to sign up for coverage, the Department of Health and Human Services released a report saying that nearly 2 million people suffered sports-related injuries that were treated in emergency rooms in 2012.

In February 2009, Michael Lewis (of Moneyball fame) wrote an article for The New York Times Magazine about Houston's Shane Battier being the preeminent Kobe-stopper. Bryant told Grover he needed to counter this for an upcoming game against Battier—and he wanted that Sweetchuck guy's help. Procopio discovered the issue wasn't Battier, but Bryant. See, Battier funneled Bryant toward Rockets star Yao Ming, daring Bryant to shoot over the 7-foot-6 center. He fell for it way too often. Telling Bryant he was taking too many shots, and a lot of dumb ones, was tough, but Procopio did it. Suffolk Magazine
Miami Heat forward Shane Battier cites lessons learned from Mike Krzyzewski at Duke, telling Heat Index's Tom Haberstroh: "I was born and raised in the Coach K school of 'in closing situations, not taking a timeout,'" Battier says. "Defenses aren't as prepared after a late bucket to tie or take the lead because emotionally teams aren't as prepared to get that stop. If you call timeout you allow a team to set their defense, focus in. Everyone knows exactly what everyone runs anyway." ESPN.com
I argued that coaches can fall into the trap of "Hero Coaching" because there is social and psychological pressure to do something, anything, to tangibly impact the end of the game. Battier was more blunt: "Coaches want to show that they're worth the millions that they're getting paid, which is fair. And the public would say, "He drew up a great play, he's earning his money." ESPN.com
Battier would prefer to "take it in, rush it up and get it to your best attacker going to the hoop," he says. "I'm surprised at how many times coaches call a timeout to draw up an ISO. It's like, 'Really? You took a timeout to draw up an ISO?' That's my pet peeve as a player watching the game." ESPN.com

Does anyone else like the TV show Charmed? If so, who do you think is the best sister/power? VOTE NOW!!
For me, I think I would take Pheobe and give her Piper's powers. The reason being that I like Pheobe the best, but I like Piper's powers. So, what do you guys think??

Payment processor Comdata is seeking to raise $855 million in debt financing as part of a plan to retire some of its parent company's debt ahead of the Comdata initial public offering.
Comdata and parent Ceridian announced they have proposed provisional tender offers for two series of Ceridian notes, including a series of toggle notes, scheduled to expire next year.
The outstanding notes have principal amounts remaining of $765 million and $91 million and carry interest rates of 11.25 percent and between 12.25 and 13 percent.
Comdata hopes to pay $1,007 per $1,000 of notes to those submitting notes by June 4. After that, the company will pay $987 per $1,000 in principal.
Comdata, which provides fleet fuel cards, announced in early April it would file for the public offering.
