Finding the Time
I know, I know. You're probably saying, "No kidding, brainiac. Care to expand on that statement, and no I do not want to buy a timeshare after the seminar." No on the timeshare and I will gladly explain some changes that I have taken in my life to make writing and creating a priority.
For us creative types, the problem of finding the time is compounded by the fact that fatigue is a constant enemy. Fatigue is perseverant. Fatigue is crushing. Fatigue is...tireless, actually. More importantly, fatigue is compounded by the steady stream of obligations that we fulfill throughout the day. Here is an example of my weekdays from a year and a half ago: the alarm goes off, I curse the rising sun and everything in existence with the exception of my wife, I snooze until the last possible moment, I shower, shave, get dressed, wolf down some food, rush to the car, rush to work, become increasingly angry with other drivers, drink loads of coffee while at work, curse to myself at how much I hate work and how things will never change, take a lunch break where I wander around for an hour, give myself a high-five when the work day ends, exercise, go home, shower, make dinner, eat and watch TV. After all of this it's at least 9:00 PM and I would already be mad at the workday that looms tomorrow. I do not even have children to contend with and this is a full day. The last thing I can physically/mentally/emotionally do is sit at the computer and write my minimum of two pages per day as I mentioned in my earlier post.
For the first two drafts of my novel, I would write on lunch breaks and at night after my wife had gone to sleep, but the nighttime writing proved difficult and I oftentimes found myself facedown on the desk with gibberish lining the page. The lunchtime writing was working, but that had to end when we got the puppy, who I then had to take out during lunch. I would not trade my dog for the world, but with the exhaustion I felt at night, writing was becoming more difficult. Luckily, I came across an article from lifehacker.com that detailed something I believe was called time-shifting.
Essentially, the author of the article found himself in the same position that I was in, with no time or energy to work on his own important and meaningful projects. He eventually became frustrated enough to adjust the way he lived his life. Instead of getting up late and going to bed late, he began to awaken at 6:00 AM and shortly after that 5:00 AM and he went to sleep earlier every night. His day involved rising, going for a run, showering, getting dressed, eating and by that point it was a little after 6:00 AM and he had a couple of hours and, more importantly, a fresh mind to work on the the projects that he cared about. By 8:45 AM he was off to earn the rent and deal with the necessities of life, but he did so with a sense of accomplishment. I loved this idea.
So, for the past year and a half, I wake up early in the morning and hit the computer to work on my books, comic books, coloring and lettering, and blog. It...was...not...easy. Not in the slightest. I was a mess for the first two weeks, but now I am so used to rising early and getting things done, that I can't imagine sleeping in late. I honestly want to get up and work on the creative projects that fulfill me and not waste my important time lounging around in bed. After the morning, my day is the same as before, with work and exercise, but the night is spent talking with my wife, playing with the dog and reading until I can't keep my eyes open, then off early to bed.
I still curse the moment I have to hop in the car to head to work, but I do so with thoughts and ideas of what my writing will bring tomorrow, and for the first time in a very long time, I go to sleep excited for the morning to come.
If you have a method that works for you and allows you to effectively work on your projects, please let me know; I would love to hear what you have to say.
UPDATE: I found the original Lifehacker.com article. You can read it here.

I'm a total night person. I literally CAN NOT function before 8 a.m., unless I'm supposed to be playing the part of a zombie, vegetable, or Forest Gump (before he knew what love was). It is my downfall as a member of the 'nine to five' society that has built itself around me. However... I come to life at night. I can't explain it, but I get a second wind of energy every night at 11 p.m. I have tried desperately to conform to a 'go to bed early/wake up early' schedule, but it just doesn't work out, for me. SO... I've maximized on the whole 'I stay up late' thing. You see, when I get home from work, I typically still have an entire evening of laundry, cooking, ironing, etc., to do. I also am at my most creative right after my commute home, where my brain has had a chance to decompress as I sing along with Lady Gaga, at the top of my lungs in the exit 105 toll booth worker's face. (BABY, I WAS BORN THIS WAY, DAMMIT!) I also know, from just basically being alive, that when my second wind comes, it is a quasi-lucid 'physical' second wind, not a mental one. So, (i say 'So' a lot, don't I?) I do this: I try cook most of the meals for the week on the weekend so when I get home from work, I can create comics. (Yes, creating comics also includes day dreaming. Day dreaming is essential to my creative process. If i can't see my idea in my mind, I can't write it.) My husband gets home from work/the gym a few hours after I do, so I literally have about two hours of uninterrupted time, in a quiet house to myself. (But the laundry isn't done and dinner isn't hot!!!) Dinner, if not tacos or a quick-to-cook steak on the grill, is whatever massive concoction I made a few days prior, thrown into the toaster oven 20 minutes before we eat. The laundry, ironing, misc. cleaning, dishes, bill paying, construction of an Abrams tank, etc. all take place after 11 p.m. when my brain is gone and I am merely a ball of kinetic energy. So, for any other late-birds, insomniacs, or general schizophrenics out there, this is what I do... this may work for you, too. (PS: This was a first draft, Paul) Thanks for allowing comments and not restricting how long they can be! ;)ReplyDelete
That's funny, J9...I was a night owl at one time. Now I've shifted to a bit more of a morning person. But I was so inspired by Don's post above that here at the Panda Dog household, we're starting to sloooowly try the time shift morning thing...ReplyDelete
Thanks for letting us know what works for you, J9. I know what you are saying, I used to be a night owl and actually never really got much sleep--sleep, what a pain in the butt--but now that I am getting on in years, that has kind of changed. Plus I found that friends were always trying to get me to do things (drink a lot of booze at the bar), phone calls interupted me throughout the night, and I found the process of creating pretty difficult after receiving a long day of mental smackdowns at the day job. At the ridiculous hour of 5:30 AM most people are sound asleep, and I can have my tea, listen to some jazz, and get some uninterupted writing done. I use the night for doing the more mundane stuff: bills, bank balancing, returning calls,exercise, cooking, etc.ReplyDelete
What works, works, so if the late-night madness hits you, then that is the time to hammer out your next great project. I did not want to give myself any excuses for not creating and working toward my goals.
On a side note, I know a guy who, along with his wife, spend one weekend day a month cooking. They cook the entire day and freeze everything that they then eat for the rest of the month. That's kind of crazy to me, but whatever does the trick...
I really loved this post, Don. The heart of the matter is simple and we so often tell ourselves that there is no time for this or that. We are our own worst enemies, in a way. :) The first step, like you have laid out in your process as well, is to find what chunk of the day you will be at your peak creatively, while still being able to quietly focus, and seizing that opportunity - even if it requires a little sacrifice. Bravisimo!ReplyDelete
Another thing I have read (i forget exactly where, but it was one of those 'university medical science' websites) said that the steady consumption of caffeine (all day) can lead to a diminished ability to concentrate even when you have not had any coffee or soda for several hours or even days. Coffee and soda are OK, but more than two or three 8-oz cups a day can actually give you a mild case of adult ADD. That is definitely something to keep in mind when you only have a few hours to devote to focused creativity, each day. Apparently, when doing anything mentally intensive, the best thing to drink is water. I drink a lot of coffee, so I try to make sure that my last bit is consumed several hours before I get home to write... and I am living proof about the adult ADD thing. HAHA! Just food (or drink) for thought! :)
Great article - I've long been a fan of waking early to get things done. I've just focused on exercise and grad school work with the creative left to the end of the day. I like the reversal of going to work after having spent time creating. I'm going to try to switch my activities around - a decade in the service took care of the waking up early thing. Thanks for the insight!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Ian. After too many nights of fighting to stay awake and getting nowhere at night--I wish I still had J9's stamina--this system worked for me. Plus, giving my art precedence over everything else (day job work, chores, exercise) gave me a nice sense of accomplishment to help carry me through the day. After ten years in the service, getting up early should be cake walk for you. I look forward to seeing what you create. All the best.ReplyDelete
Great article. A simple shift in some ways, gotta have the perseverance to make it a habit!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Luke. I've been sick for the past week, so it has not been an easy thing to get up at 5:15 AM during the week. Honestly though, the time spent writing, revising, critiquing first thing in the morning leaves me with a huge sense of accomplishment that carries me through the day job.ReplyDelete

I'm headed to NYC next week, which means I've been kvetching and plotting my food choices for the precious 7,200 minutes in Gotham. We are staying in an apartment, so I'll get to stock a fridge with a little nosh from Dean & Deluca and some neighborhood bagels. But really it's about the restaurants: hitting up Gotham West Market for Ivan's Slurp Shop, tucking in at Toro, which was a score considering chef is a fresh JBA winner. We've got a dinner at Blue Smoke (where my hookup is my kid, who hosts there) and post NYU Graduation cocktails and oysters at Grand Central followed by dinner at Empellon. There are a few dip-ins here and there (the 11 yo requested a visit to the new Nutella Bar in Eataly), lunch is always locationally determined (besides the trip to Shake Shack), but if you want to live vicariously, follow me on Instagram for all the juicy pics.
Next Thursday you can enjoy the launch of Agra Culture Kitchen & Presse in Uptown, just down the block from Coup d'Etat. The quick service joint is focused on healthy, farm-fresh food made quickly, plus six freshly pressed juices, coffee, tea, beer, and wine for breakfast/lunch/dinner and grab-n-go. Check out the hot quinoa for brek, a ton of salads, a few sandwiches, and a build-your-own plate for which you pick a protein, a sauce, and some things from the Back 40: tabbouleh, rice, quinoa, broccolini, etc. Some of the people behind this venture are The Yogurt Lab kids, which means it's gonna look slick. A second location is already under construction at 50th & France.
Take note thirsty downtown St. Paulers, Tin Whiskers Brewing Company is throwing open its taproom door today at 3 p.m.
Sober Fish, which was once going to be Drunken Fish, is now open in Seward. Replacing the former True Thai on Franklin, the space has been refreshed and brightened up with orange accents and friendly lighting. Look for authentic Thai with the addition of creative sushi rolls.
Hot Indian has launched its stall in the Midtown Global Market, running roughly the same menu as their truck. Those flippin' fries are magically crispy. Right now there's a build-your-Indurrito kind of thing going on, which should be perfect for the lunchers that crowd that place.
Pizza Rev, which is the Buffalo Wild Wings entrance into the quick service pizza fray, has opened in Hopkins. It's all about choice: pick your crust, pick your sauce, choose your cheese and your toppings (get as many as you want with meatballs, anchovies, pineapple) then fire away. If that stresses you out, there's a menu of favorites for $7.99.
Art-A-Whirl! is even so much cooler now that Nordeast has become a brew district.
Rosé! . . . Cheese! . . . Burgers! are all on deck.
If you feel like a bit of a drive, head down to Northfield for Loon Liquors Loonshine release party tonight! I'm going to refrain from calling them Loonatics, I am, but the ballyhoo includes live music, all you can eat snacks, and of course, a little bit of local white lightning.
Let's make our All Pints North the best it can be, shall we? Get on board with Get Knit and they'll drive you up to Duluth in a luxury coach bus. Then you'll have a little exclusive brewery lunch and tour at Bent Paddle, after which you get to jump the line at the fest and enjoy life before they feed you some pizza and drive you home. Nice guys, and totally worth the $99.
Tune up your bike for next week's Bicycle Cider Crawl as a part of Town Hall's Cider Week, which kicks off Monday. Stop at any Town Hall site or Sociable Cider Werks to pick up your spoke card map and a wristband, sip some ciders, get some punches, win some prizes, have one of those cidery days where everything seems to be going your way . . . or is that just me?

In some cases, the condition may also be associated with physical abnormalities and/or intellectual disability. The range and severity of symptoms may vary greatly from one person to another, even among affected members of the same family. Nance-Horan syndrome is caused by a mutation in the NHS gene and is inherited as an X-linked dominant trait, which means that both males and females can be affected, but males often have more severe symptoms.The treatment is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in the individual.[1][2]Nance-Horan syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that may be evident at birth.

Charles Mingus: Sue's Changes
Sue's Changes
Charles Mingus (bass)
Changes One (Rhino 71403)
Charles Mingus (bass), Jack Walrath (trumpet), George Adams (tenor sax), Don Pullen (piano), Dannie Richmond (drums).
Composed by Charles Mingus.
Recorded: New York, December 27-28 and 30, 1974
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
"They're among the best records I've made, " Mingus said of Changes One and Changes Two, which featured one of his finest groups, together (except for Walrath) for two years at the time of this recording. "Sue's Changes" was originally titled "Sue's Moods," and was not, Mingus insisted, about the "Changes" magazine Sue Graham published at that time out of a brownstone in the East Village of Manhattan, but rather about some of her "moods." (So why the name change?) Seventeen minutes in length, it's one of Mingus's most ambitious works, moving through various themes, vamps, tempos, and indeed moods, in the best tradition of other intricate and memorable Mingus compositions such as "Peggy's Blue Skylight," "Reincarnation of a Lovebird," "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love," and "The I of Hurricane Sue," the latter also inspired by Graham.
Walrath's glowing muted trumpet introduces the poignant main theme, followed by a short bridge and a reprise at shifting tempos, which builds to a mild crescendo. Adams then joins Walrath for a jauntier theme reading before the two horns engage in increasingly raucous counterpoint, only to step aside and leave Pullen in the spotlight. The pianist's improv ranges from delicately woven and rhapsodic passages to nearly totally free playing in his uniquely dissonant yet accessible style that never quite forsakes the "changes." Mingus's bass propels Pullen through several challenging time shifts as well. Adams solos next, his expressive vocalized tonal inflections personalizing his excursion along the fluctuating rhythmic trail, until his heated repetition of the piece's key vamp leads to his own free interlude, sparked by Pullen's frantic note clusters. Suddenly Walrath is back playing the central theme until the catchy vamp becomes the group focus, only to be succeeded by a stimulating all-out contrapuntal adventure that serves as the emphatic final exclamation point.

I'm not exactly sure why I like this photo so much. But I think (for me), it evokes the depiction of memories of long ago. The hazininess, the sunlight flared, the ghostly images of others in the background and all the while the subject who's viewing forgets that he himself is being viewed. - Montana CowboyReplyDelete

To change the Ubuntu desktop background, you can right-click the desktop and select "Change Desktop Background." To add a picture taken from the internet:
Change the search location drop-down menu from Wallpapers to Pictures Folder. Click the plus sign to add a folder. Browse to the desired picture.
Another way to get there would be clicking on the Dash Home (like Windows start menu) and typing "System." Desktop background settings are under Appearance.
As for using images from the internet, you need to download/save them locally. An easy way to do this is to find one you like from a site like this: http://www.ubuntuwallpapers.com/. If you view the image in its own window, for a full view, then it will be cleaner when you use it. Next right-click on the image and select Save Image as. I recommend saving to your pictures folder.

Daily Journal
ATHENS, Ga. – In the beginning, the road wasn't such a bad place.
In fact, Ole Miss won its first two SEC games in an opponent's gym, but things have changed.
Now coming off a disappointing performance in a 67-64 loss at Alabama, the Rebels need a win at Georgia to maintain a hold on third place in the league.
The top four SEC finishers get a double-bye in the conference tournament in March.
Tipoff at Stegeman Coliseum, where the Bulldogs are 5-1 against the SEC, is 3 p.m. It'll be seen on Fox Sports South.
"If you look at our home and away numbers, it's staggering," Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said. "From guys we expect to be more consistent, the numbers are vastly different home and away."
The most offensive consistency has come from guards Marshall Henderson and Jarvis Summers, averaging a combined 36.3 points a game.
Summers' scoring has tailed off a bit of late. After a five-game stretch of shooting at least 50 percent, he's shooting just 32.3 percent over the last three games including a 2-for-9 outing at Alabama.
Rebounding is the biggest difference.
While the rebounding margin is even at home, it's minus-6 on the road. Rebound averages for both Sebastian Saiz and Aaron Jones are down about 3.5 per SEC game away from home.
At Alabama, the Rebels were minus-8 on the glass and were outscored 34-18 in the paint.
"In our wins, Sebas and AJ are getting us like 15 and 15. In our losses they're getting us about half that production. That coupled with a really inept shooting percentage makes for long nights, and that's what we've experienced on the road," Kennedy said. Marshall continues to struggle on the road, and if you're not getting second- and third-chance opportunities off the glass, which we weren't, ultimately you're not going to manufacture enough to give yourself a chance."
Georgia was plus-8 on the glass and had 40 points in the paint in its 75-55 win at Mississippi State on Wednesday.
Good road start
Ole Miss started the SEC season with wins at South Carolina and Vanderbilt. The Rebels have non-conference wins at Coastal Carolina and Western Kentucky plus neutral-site wins against Penn State and Georgia Tech.
The last three visits to Stegeman Coliseum have resulted in Ole Miss wins.
It's not a trend that will continue if some things don't change, Kennedy says.
"You can't go on the road and shoot mid to upper 30s from the field and get outrebounded," Kennedy said. "If we don't shore up these rebounding woes, we're putting ourselves in a position that unless we make every shot, it's going to be hard to win."

Many christians like to show off their faith by making their cars look trashy, so today we're taking a look at some that yours truly found over the past week or so. It was fairly heartening to see how few people actually display their beliefs in this way, but by far the most common christian bumper sticker seems to be the Jesus fish, also known as the icthys.
Icthys is the Greek word for fish. The fish became a symbol for christianity in the early days of the religion. Icthys is an acronym for Iēsous Christos, Theou Yios, Sōtēr, which means Jesus Christ, Yahweh's son, savior. They started putting it on the bumpers of Roman chariots when Constantine decided he liked how shiny they were. Not really though. They do that now because people hate their cars.
Jesus suffered to become bling
Look at that poor man on the cross. Should we worship him? Nah, let's make him all sparkly! There's something about this bumper sticker that just seems inappropriate even to this atheist. It's a guy nailed to planks of wood suffering worse than almost anybody can imagine, and they've made a sparkly sticker out of it.
And they love you too if you know what I mean
Seriously, who loves priests? Oh yeah, catholics. All that child molestation stuff aside, they're just creepy looking, don't you think? They wear those weird robes and speak dead languages while they eye the altar boys. Oh wait, I was going to leave that alone. Really, priests probably deserve more pity than anything else. They were all probably raised catholic by parents who believed in corporal punishment, told their whole lives they shouldn't masturbate or think about sex, and then they go into a line of work where they have to continue to never masturbate or think about sex their whole lives. Who could stay sane through all that? Nobody, that's who.
What is orship?
Yeah yeah, the W is ripped off. You'd think the creator would have protected this holy bumper sticker from being damaged like that. Maybe -- juuuuuust mabe -- he doesn't really exist. Just throwing it out there.
God bless the dumb cliche!
This one combines two religions; christianity and flag waving. It's pretty widely known that the people in this country most likely to worship both the American flag and the crucifix are ignorant rednecks, but in this part of the country, that's considered a good thing. The United States is the last place that needs blessing anyway. Then again, I can see why the people here don't want Yahweh to bless the poorer countries. If he did that, the people there would get to keep their natural resources, and what would the millionaires here do to continue to get richer?
Keep Christ in your own Christmas
Christ was imposed onto Yule and Saturnalia when Constantine decided religion was a good way to control people. Who wants to worship a baby anyway when there are presents to open? Even celebrating birthdays wasn't originally a christian tradition. Gift giving began in the united states during the industrial revolution, and it was promoted by big companies that wanted to sell more stuff. Jesus is just a gimmick.
Indoctrinate the children
They won't indoctrinate themselves. Without people to force kids to believe illogical nonsense, they would grow up to believe only what makes sense, and then they wouldn't be afraid of going to Hell, and then all the priests, rabbis, imams, pastors, and other bible salesmen would have to get real jobs. Whoops, they don't all go by the bible. But what's the difference anyway? Nobody ever reads any of them.
Art meets torture
Jesus would just love to come back and see reminders of his worst moments all over the place. Well, if he ever really existed, which he may not have. It only seems to be the catholics who go all the way and portray the corpse on the cross. The other wussy sects just show the cross and expect everyone to just picture the carnage. Yahweh is incredibly bloodthirsty. Blood was the whole point of the "sacrifice". He wants us to look at it. Hey, this one isn't even sparkly enough!
Predecessor to the modern day Darwin Fish
That's right, scientists now believe that the Jesus fish evolved into what we now know as the Darwin fish. They both had similar skeletal structures, but only the Darwin fish has a highly developed brain.

In a nutshell, satire can be newspaper articles, magazine articles, or comedy skits that are created and designed to look 'real,' but in actuality, they are taking a real-life scenario and exaggerating it a bit or embellishing it a bit for humorous effect.
An example:
Real story: "Kanye West and Kim Kardashian name their daughter 'North'"
Satire: "Kanye informs his wife Kim that he plans on having more children named 'South' 'Go' and 'East'"
Okay, now that we have the satire description aside, let's highlight a young man who has become well known for creating satirical videos on his YouTube channel, but many of the men who watch treat his videos like real-life dating & relationships advice.
The young African-American comedic YouTube personality featured in these videos is named Maurice Kain Carter.
Carter is a young man who has over 700,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, and his videos have amassed over 100 million views to date. So, you can tell he definitely has a major following of fans and supporters.
This columnist first became aware of Carter's videos back in 2010. I found many of his videos to be both entertaining and to some degree or another, truthful. One of Carter's representatives informed me that his YouTube channel is strictly for entertainment and satire purposes only, and that Carter's dating and relationship advice should not be perceived as genuine, helpful advice. Carter's videos are supposed to be lighthearted commentary on the state of today's dating scene between single men and single women, particularly in the African-American community.
Last year, Carter ran into some trouble when he was accused by Dante Nero, a popular podcast host from New York City, of stealing some comedy material from the late, great stand up comic, Patrice O'Neal (Nero was one of O'Neal's best friends before he passed away).
Recently, Carter released two videos basically saying that a man cannot be truthful with women about his desire for short-term non-monogamous 'casual' sex. Carter expressed in his videos that you have to engage in lengthy pleasantries and small talk with women and/or you have to give women the impression that you want to be their next boyfriend in order to get them in bed.
Watch them for yourself:
Maurice Kain Carter - Video #1 (Lies & Truth)
Maurice Kain Carter - Video #2 (Pranking Women - Can We Fu**?)
Alan Roger Currie's Rebuttal to Maurice Kain Carter
To reiterate, these videos are representative of entertainment and satire.
But for those men who perceive these videos as "real" advice, let me ask you a few questions . . .
If you went to the grocery store to purchase some meat ... and when you got home, you realized from eating the meat that it was spoiled, what would be your reaction? Let's say you talk to the meat department manager, and they tell you, "Well, we knew the meat was spoiled ... but we were scared if we told our customers, they would not buy the meat from us. We need the money!" What would be your reaction?
What if you met a woman, and you asked her, "Do you have a history of any sexually transmitted diseases?" She replies, "No ... I have never had an STD in my life." Later, you two have sex. Weeks or months later, you find out that you are now HIV-Positive. In your next conversation with your lover, you ask her, "I thought you said you never had an STD?!?" to which she replies, "I knew even before we had sex that I had HIV, but I was scared to tell you because I thought you would then decide not to have sex with me." What would be your reaction?
You get my point?
The fear of being rejected and not getting what you want is never a valid reason to lie to women or mislead women about your true romantic and/or sexual desires, interests, and intentions.
If your interest is in engaging in short-term and/or non-monogamous sex with a woman ... you need to let her know that. Do not lie and give women the impression that you want them to be your next long-term monogamous "girlfriend."
If your interest is in engaging in a long-term romantic relationship with a woman .... you need to let her know that. Do not lie and give women the impression that you are totally content with being their purely platonic "friend."
Both of these examples would be representative of what is referred to as 'Mode Three' Behavior in the book, Mode One: Let the Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking.
I realize it may be challenging for some men to tell women the truth (see my related article), but in the long-run, you will find it has more benefits than lying. Peace of mind, for one.
Would you want a highly promiscuous bisexual man giving your mother, sister, and/or daughter the misleading impression that he was a monogamy-minded heterosexual man? No. You would not.
Again, just because you are afraid of having a woman fail to reciprocate your romantic and/or sexual desires, interests and intentions does not justify you wanting to be dishonest or misleading with women.
And also ... men, watch yourself when viewing videos such as the ones produced by Maurice Kain Carter. Taking advice from him for dating and relationships is like watching political satirist Stephen Cobert on The Cobert Report and allowing him to help you decide who you should vote for in the next Presidential election.
Stick to the real ... not the satirical.

Sunday, April 22, churches across the Santa Clarita Valley will team up to make one million meals. They come from multiple denominations, sizes, and worship styles.
Each church has committed to pack a portion of the meals which will be sent to Uganda and Sierra Leone. The meals contain lentils, spice, chicken and rice which fulfill the main dietary needs of those communities. One bag will feed four people.
Teams at the churches will gather around tables and work together to create the meals and pack them into boxes. Families will participate in every part of the experience from packing to decorating the boxes or writing letters for the people who receive the boxes.
Once created these meals will be loaded onto trucks from Children of the Nations an international aid organization. The goal for these churches: pack and prepare 500,000 meals.
In addition, the churches have been collecting canned food to donate to the two main local food pantries in Santa Clarita: Help the Children and Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry.

Is something wrong with my daughter?
My daughter's kindergarten experience started out very well. The second day she already had a bff as confirmed by the teacher and the kid's mom. However after only 3 weeks, this ex bff told my daughter that she's tired of talking to her. My daughter continued to be nice to this girl but I told her to distance herself from her since I witnessed how she bullied my daughter one time. Sometimes I catch her walking by herself during recess time and it breaks my heart that she's having a hard time connecting with other girls. I cannot really consider her a shy girl since she has a few friends outside school. When I ask her about friends in class, she seems sad that there is nobody she can consider her friend. She had friends and companion during recess but it usually didnt last. She's always happy though whenever she is at home. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill situation? Willl my child be able to have lasting friendship later on?In Topics: Friendships and peer relationships, Children and stress
We're indians and sometimes I feel my daughter is being discriminated by other kids.

Kerry Washington is a widely popular television star. Fans can't get enough of Olivia Pope on the ABC show "Scandal." When Washington announced her pregnancy, fans were thrilled for her. Last June she married former NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha. According to a May 2 report from TMZ, Kerry Washington gave birth to a baby girl two weeks ago on April 21. The baby girl was named Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha.
"Scandal" creator Shonda Rimes had a difficult task of hiding Kerry Washington's pregnancy throughout the third season. Now that Washington has delivered the baby, there won't have to be any crazy plant placement or edits before the episode is viewer-ready. Fans were a little disappointed the pregnancy wasn't written into the show but with the way things are going now, it is better it wasn't.
Twitter has been buzzing ever since the baby news broke earlier this afternoon. The Kerry Washington feed has numerous words of congratulations and happiness spread around. Washington has a huge fan base which is comprised of both other celebrities and viewers. The collective excitement is enough to make any new mom blush a little bit. Fans are hoping that Washington will make an announcement about baby Isabelle sometime soon and share pictures with the world.
The fact that Kerry Washington and husband, Nnamdi Asomugha were able to keep the birth of their baby girl a secret for two weeks is astonishing in this world of technology. This is the first child for Washington who is 37. Fans are gearing up for the new season of "Scandal" to begin this fall. There is a lot going on and it wouldn't be the same without the fabulously maintained Olivia Pope. Fans are incredibly happy for the new parents and wish the new family health and happiness in the months and years to come.

Little is known of Fentara, the Green Lantern of Graxos IV. He had one known child, a daughter, Arisia. When Fentara died, his ring was passed to his cousin Blish of neighboring planet Graxos V.
Sometime later, Blish was killed in the line of duty. It was then the Guardians continued Fentara's tradition by selecting Arisia as the new Green Lantern for Sector 2815.[Green Lantern Vol. 2 #212]
Fentara is memorialized in the Crypts of the Green Lantern Corps on Oa.[Green Lantern/Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1]
Arisia told Hal Jordan about her father in Green Lantern Vol. 2 #212. She also mentioned that Blish was her predecessor, who Hal had met during a fight with Sinestro.
Even though it hasn't been said, I'm assuming Fentara was one of the many GLs killed by Legion prior to the events in Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn # 1. In Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn #3 Hal accesses the ring memories of sectors 2817, 2816, 2815, and 2814. In Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn #4, Tomar-Re mentions to Salakk that four GLs had been killed by Legion's rampage.
I consider Blish's death to have occurred during the Power War (Green Lantern Vol. 2 #127) when the Weaponers captured Oa. Shortly after that story, Arisia joined to fight Krona and Nekron in Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1.

This post touched me very deeply. So much so I wrote a poem about getting through my last suicidal ideation. it is as follows:

I grew tired of hearing my own thoughts
echoing through my mind
I grew tired of relearning what I've been taught
and wishing for my own demise

seeI'm a soldier..I've been waging my own war
praying for lady death to open her doors
but her portals stayed closed
no matter how loud my begging rose
sitting with a gun against my skull
with the lack the courage to pull
the trigger

so you can call me a coward
or you can call me brave
it doesn't really matter
the end result is just the same

I lost all hope but now I'm
moving past it , hoping it is everlasting
I am lost in your translation
and I know your losing patience

but I don't want your map to life
I don't need your help to survive
and as for my destination
I have arrived

It's a tiny little place
away from the fast paced
beyond the fake
I'm taking down my walls
my masks are shattering as they fall
moving past all that I've been told
 I'm breaking my own mould
and living in my own soul

because even when I wanted to die
give up on everything and no longer try
it was not me I wanted to kill
but the powerlessness that filled
me to the point of dread
and so I thought Id be better off dead

see I've found now what I was looking for
behind the threshold of a life no more
it's the end of expectation, not of myself
a place where creation is born
and my worn down heart
can begin to heal itself
so now the truth is finally out
I didn't want an ending
I wanted a new start.

The Park City Board of Realtors recognized its top-performers from 2012 Thursday night during their 33rd anniversary event.
To celebrate the anniversary and the top home sellers, the "Blue Jeans and Bling" party was held at the Montage Deer Valley.
Kicking off the gala - the group's board presented 60-members of the Board of Realtors with the Professional Achievement and Masters and Sustaining Masters Achievement Award.
The award recognizes those in the real estate industry that go above and beyond in their commitment to the profession. While this award recognizes production, it also highlights the importance of the board and community involvement, according to Curt Singleton, Park City Board of Realtors chief executive officer.
Immediately following the achievement awards, Jeff Spencer, from Resorts West Real Estate and board president, presented the board's specialty awards for 2012, which include: Community Service, Meritorious Service, Directors Award, Affiliate of the Year and Realtor of the Year.
The Community Service Award was presented to the Christian Center of Park City.
Over the last 12 years, the Christian Center has started a multitude of programs designed to help Summit County and Wasatch County residents secure the resources they need to survive - as well as engaging the hundreds of volunteers needed to donate thousands of hours in community service.
In order to do so, the group started the largest food pantry in the two counties, a thrift store, boutique shop, pet food pantry for low-income pet owners, a weekly dinner for international seasonal workers, special programs reaching Native American communities, offering a free legal clinic as well as leveraging the $12 million in food and household supplies.
"The community has been so generous and supportive of our cause," Rob Harter, Executive Director at the Christian Center, said. "I feel like the luckiest guy to have the opportunity to work with the staff and the hard work they provide to enable us the opportunity to offer all of the community services programs we have."
The late Lois Hall, who represented First American Title, was awarded the Affiliate of the Year award. Her daughter, Samantha, and husband Dan Hall accepted the award on her behalf.
The affiliate award, also known as the Leroy J Pia Award, recognizes an affiliate member that has given outstanding service and support to the association's members through their business and participation in the board.
According to Singleton, the highpoint of the event was when Sandra Vogt, Keller Williams Real Estate, was presented with the night's top honor - Realtor of the Year.
"Every year the board selects an active member who best exemplifies and promotes a positive image through the highest levels of service within the real estate profession and local community," Singleton said.
Serving on the Park City Board of Realtors Luxury Home Tour and Auction since 2000 and having chaired the committee since 2005, Vogt earned this honor said Singleton.
"Under Sandra's leadership, the Luxury Home Tour and Auction has raised many hundreds of thousands of dollars benefiting Park City's Peace House, an abused woman's shelter," Singleton said. "Her tireless effort and achievement have been impressive to say the least."
Vogt started her real estate career in 1981 in Texas. As a broker in 1999, a client offered to move her to Park City to market 500 residential subdivisions. After completing that project, she decided to continue into the private sector of Park City real estate.
Since arriving in Park City - Vogt has made her mark.
With her arrival, Vogt founded the first Park City Kiwanis Club. From 2003 until 2010, she was a member and then President of the Egyptian Theatre, Park City Key Club sponsor and graduate of Leadership of Park City.
Additionally, she has served as a member of the Park City Board of Realtors Philanthropic Foundation, and she has received the board's Professional Achievement, Masters of Professional Achievement and Sustaining Masters of Professional Achievement awards.

TC TO JWC ; 11 August 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580811-TC-JWC-01; CL 34: 118-119
The Gill, 11 Augt, 1858.
Dearest, I am well this morning, after a good sleep had, and a good letter from you (with your excellent news, the chief comfort I have): nothing is wrong,—except the total want of repose, visible especially for some hours to come! The two Scotsbrig Boys are come (Jamie home from Glasgow just now) "to see their uncle" for-sooth, and little Jenny between them:1 bathing, welcome in these circumstances and in the dreadful heat, lies close at hand too. And Hamburg steaming & German voyaging lies close over the hill besides: No rest for me longer here; no rest, Macbeth can sleep no more!2
Lord Ashburton & Miss Baring are steaming thro' the Western Sounds this morning, I have little doubt: he wd be first in Glasgow yesterday afternoon; and the others wd join him between 8 & 9 in the evg. Our rencounter did very well as you have heard. It was right of you to say nothing to Miss Baring. I will send the Tourgff, and perhaps another little Book or two, this afternoon or tomorrow. What nice voyaging you have to the Island and up and down: right fair blow the winds for you in these same! It has been a lucky trip this to Bay House. Only again I say, Take care, take care!—
My stay here, I find, for even dietetic reasons, must now soon end, if I am wise. It is clear to me I have overdone rather than otherwise the milk-diet system, and committed excesses in whey. Ought to end; to change.— — Lord Ashbn's report of the Yachts puts an end to that part of the speculation: no yacht clearly enough. And yet the voyage itself gloomily demands of me to be done. To be done without delay, therefore; while the days have still some length, while &c &c. Alas for the lazy weakly man! But there is no help. Hull steamers are good; but they are as far off me as London:3 a day or more of railway torture will never do. Newcastle or Leith steamers are bad;4 but they are attainable from Scotsbrig, by 100 miles of rail: them I must put up with,—and that soon! Either Tuesday next (17th 8 p.m.) from Newcastle, or else Saturday following (21st 7 p.m) from Leith,—I must be off. That is my prest thot, the best I can form, in my sickly bewilderment & deep abhorrence, conscience alone imperatively driving me. Neglect no post in writing to me till then. I appoint Foxton for Newcastle or at least for Hamburg on those terms. Woe's me, woe's me!5— — Bathing has occurred: at the middle of last page an inexorable notice of the flight of time came: off by Austin in the gig accordingly; and I have had a very nice bathe,—if that were the end of it! Thank Heaven my poor Goody is not now so tossed about. Adieu till tomorrow.

Purchase College has received $5,000 in scholarship funds for the Baccalaureate and Beyond Center from the Entergy Charitable Foundation.
The program is an expansion of the Bridges to Baccalaureate program which was designed to help underrepresented minority students interested in the biomedical sciences make transitions from a two-year community college program to a bachelor's degree program. The Entergy grant will help expand the program for social sciences and humanities students.
In the Baccalaureate and Beyond Center program, students complete their associate's degree at their community college and then work toward their bachelor's degree at Purchase. The program serves as a national model to increase the number of students from community colleges who continue on to four-year institutions to complete their bachelor's degrees.
The Center provides services for a seamless transition from the six participating community colleges: Purchase faculty provide advising and support services while the students are attending community college and continue those services once the students complete their associate's degree and arrive at Purchase. Students are encouraged to plan beyond a bachelor's degree and receive assistance with career development and graduate school admissions.

Ljubljana Travel Guide
Ljubljana ©
A city of culture and cuisine, boutiques, bars and hidden treasures, Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia, exudes the confidence of an architecturally beautiful city that has 5,000 years of fascinating history tucked under its belt. The magnificent Baroque, Renaissance and Art Nouveau edifices of its old town centre, and its many charming squares, emanate the atmosphere of a small town; while its lively cultural, scientific, educational and business communities leave no doubt that this is a modern city in tune with the times.
Ljubljana devotes itself mainly to cultural events, with many thousands of these gracing its calendar each year, including the Summer Festival, Jazz Festival and the Druga Godba Festival of Alternative Music. Music is the lifeblood of the city, which boasts one of the oldest established Philharmonic orchestras in the world, not to mention some accomplished street musicians. It is not all classical culture, however. With its large student population Ljubljana knows how to rock, and you are just as likely to hear the throbbing beat of club music emanating from buildings after nightfall, as you are the strains of violins.
Food is a big factor in any visit to Ljubljana, where all the best of Eastern European cuisine seems to have merged into a smorgasbord of delights, from delicate Viennese-style pastries to hearty Hungarian goulash.

An excerpt from a letter written by Justin Lee, Executive Director of The Gay Christian Network. (Read more about Philip Yancey here.)
Since we announced that bestselling Christian author Philip Yancey would be addressing the GCN conference in 2011, questions have been flying, online and offline. "Is Philip Yancey pro-gay?" some have asked. "What are his views on homosexuality?" "Why would he agree to speak to this conference?" "Why would GCN invite him in the first place?"
Some have criticized me for extending the invitation, thinking an evangelical author like Philip is surely far too conservative to speak to a group like ours. Others have strongly condemned him for accepting the invitation, saying he's condoning sin. Some have even called for other Christians to disassociate with him.

Laptop Battery Problems
by William Hook
Laptop Battery Problems
What would we do without laptops? From those who prefer to do work on the go at a coffee shop to those who simply want a smaller computer to work on from home, laptop computers are the way to go. They are portable, easy to work on and the answer to many who wish for a fast method of jumping onto the Internet or performing work no matter where they are. However, as most laptop users know, it is not always possible to plug your laptop in, and you must be able to depend on your machine's batteries. laptop battery can be very expensive, so let's take a look at the most common laptop battery problems that users experience and some tips that may help laptop users.
It has probably happened to you before; you were working on an important presentation or perhaps a complicated Excel spreadsheet when your laptop suddenly warned you that the battery was low. You rush to save your work before everything closes down. Or perhaps you just charged your laptop, believed all would be fine and suddenly an issue occurred. It's happened to all of us, so let's take look at the most common laptop battery problems that people experience and what may be done to prevent them.
Batteries, as you probably know, can be extremely expensive. The main reason for this is that the manufacturer of any particular laptop is the only manufacturer for the battery as well. Each laptop will only work with one certain battery and most are not interchangeable as everyday batteries are.
One of the most common problems is called memory effect. This is a term used to describe what happens when an owner constantly recharges the battery without it discharging fully. For example, you may have worked on your laptop all day and noticed in the evening that the battery had roughly half life left. You then charge the battery overnight and wake up to a fully charged one. This may seem like a good idea, however charging a sony vgp-bps9 battery that is not fully discharged and in need of charging will eventually cause memory effect and begin to last less and less time for you until eventually a so-called fully charged battery only lasts minutes. While batteries are not alive, this is referred to as the battery forgetting that it has unused capacity and it discharges faster each time that it is used. This can all be avoided if you only recharge your laptop battery when it truly needs charging.
Another one of the most common laptop battery problems is when a laptop is left sitting unused, with the battery still in it. Even while not in use, the battery will slowly be drained. You will then find that when you do finally try to turn on your laptop, the battery is dead . This can be avoided by taking out the battery if you will not be using your laptop for several days to a week or longer
Another issue that is one of the most common laptop battery problems is an overheating vgp-bps9 battery. Have you ever been at work on your machine and realized that the battery was becoming very hot to the touch? If this happens, the battery would be removed and allowed to cool off. If this issue continues to happen, it may be a defective battery. It is then recommend to not use that battery as doing so could cause damage to your machine. You can also experience battery problems if you allow your battery to completely discharge outside the laptop. You should check the battery while it in storage so it will not be allowed to completely discharge. This could also prevent the laptop from accepting the battery when you place it back into the computer

College Hockey:Former Plattsburgh assistant Moffat named new head coach at Castleton
Castleton announced Monday that longtime Plattsburgh assistant coach Steve Moffat has been named the Spartans' new head coach.
Moffa, who has been a member of the Plattsburgh staff for the last 13 years, including the past 10 as head coach Bob Emery's top assistant, replaces Alex Todd, who resigned to become an assistant at Nebraska-Omaha in July.
"We are very excited to have Steve join our staff," said Castleton associate dean for athletics and recreation Deanna Tyson in a statement. "His time at Plattsburgh has been marked by success both on the ice and off. I have no doubt that he is the right person to build off the strong foundation already established in our men's hockey program."
"I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to lead the Castleton hockey program," Moffat added. "I want to thank (president) Dave Wolk, (dean of administration) Scott Dikeman, Deanna Tyson and the entire search committee for believing in me and providing that opportunity. I would also like to thank Coach Emery for his leadership and support. Spending 17 years as a player and coach learning under one of the most successful coaches in the country has given me the experience and knowledge to lead a program like Castleton, which in just 10 years has emerged as a national contender."
Moffat was a two-time All-American forward at Plattsburgh and finished his career with over 100 goals and 200 total points. He graduated in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in sociology and earned his master's degree in school counseling from Plattsburgh in 2002.
After his graduation in 1998, Moffat played in the East Coast Hockey League for the Columbus Chill and Florida Everblades.

The Princeton baseball team will head to West Long Branch, N.J. for a midweek non-conference meeting with Monmouth. The Tigers (7-20, 5-3 Ivy) and Hawks (16-11, 9-3 NEC) square off on Wednesday, Apr. 10 at 3:30 p.m.
Last Time Out: The Tigers split both series at Dartmouth and Harvard last weekend. Against the Big Green, Princeton won 7-1, before five errors stymied its efforts and they fell 6-1 to conclude the doubleheader.
The next day the Tigers downed the Crimson, 13-1, in game one, before both sides put on a marathon scoring outing to conclude the series. They combined for 39 runs, as Princeton held the early advantage, 7-3, and then responded from a 16-10 deficit to retake control 19-17 in the ninth inning. The Tigers conceded three wild pitches and two walks in the bottom half of the frame to let Harvard come back to win 20-19.
On Deck: Princeton opens Gehrig Division play with a four-game series at Penn. The Tigers and Quakers face off in a pair of doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday with first pitch at 12 noon both days in Philadelphia.
Ford Remains Undefeated: Junior Mike Ford improved to 3-0 behind his second consecutive complete game victory, 13-1, at Harvard on Apr. 7. Over seven innings, he struck out seven batters to match a career high and establish a season high. He also scattered four hits and two walks.
Along with win on the mound, he was the squad's top batter on the weekend. He went 9-for-17 with eight RBI, six runs, four doubles, two home runs and a walk. He hit both homers at Harvard, including hitting his second career grand slam and finishing with a season-high six RBI.
Slamin' Sunday: Princeton tallied five home runs over its doubleheader at Harvard on Apr. 7. Both Mike Ford and Tyler Servais hit grand slams, with Servais notching the first of his career. Ford had two homers on the day, and freshmen Billy Arendt and Danny Hoy both recorded their first career long balls.
Scouting Monmouth: Monmouth is coming off a four-game sweep at Mount St. Mary's to improve to 16-11, 9-3 NEC. The Hawks host Hofstra on Tuesday, Apr. 9, before playing the Tigers. Five Monmouth batters are hitting above .300, with Owen Stewart's .426 (40-for-94) headlining the offense. The Hawk bullpen has seen 12 different pitchers take the mound. Wednesday lefty Anthony Ciavarella will make his third start and fifth appearance of the year. He is 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA over 10.2 innings pitched. He's thrown seven strikeouts, seven walks and batters are hitting .267 against him.

Everyone who drives much at all has had the experience of a near-accident or worse with a distracted driver. More often than not these days, that distraction is a cellphone.
Many of us, if we're honest, will admit to doing some distracted driving of our own.
Talking on a phone will driving is one thing. Texting while driving is another entirely.
While talking on a cellphone with one hand on the wheel isn't a good idea, it's certainly easier to make the argument that you can hold a phone and talk on it while still paying attention to the road than to text while doing so. It's virtually impossible not to be an impaired driver – and a danger to others – while texting.
Yet Mississippi legislators haven't seen fit to join the 41 other states that outlaw texting while driving for everyone. Our state prohibits only beginner drivers and bus drivers from texting while at the wheel. That's one of the loosest laws in the nation.
All of Mississippi's neighbors have stricter controls on texting while driving than we do. Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee ban it for everyone.
As today's front page story notes, more than 3,000 deaths and nearly 400,000 injuries are now attributed annually to distracted driving. All of that isn't due to cellphone use, or texting specifically, but it's a sure bet the biggest share is.
Mississippi lawmakers typically trot out the individual rights argument when resisting a law that would ban texting while driving for everyone. But one person's rights end when they endanger the life of another.
That's what everyone who texts while driving is doing, whether they realize it or not. It could be their own lives – or someone in the vehicle with them – as well as other motorists unlucky enough to be the victim of their distraction.
Freedom that puts others in jeopardy is not freedom that merits legal protection.
Sure, there are other ways a driver can be distracted – reaching for something, eating, even engaging in animated conversation with passengers – but none of these, categorically, is as dangerous on their face as the physical and mental distraction involved in texting.
Mississippi should recognize the danger that 41 other states have seen and let common sense rule the day. Texting while driving puts others on the road at risk, and it should be against the law.

As the nation prepares to celebrate Memorial Day, the MSPCA has announced that its Heroes at Hillside Program will offer free private burial or cremation services for any dogs who have served their country during wartime at its tranquil four-acre Hillside Acres Animal Cemetery in Methuen, MA. The offer is being made both to dogs killed in action and those who died after they were repatriated back to the U.S. to live out their retirement.
Eight war dogs are currently interred at Hillside Acres in a special section, marked by a solemn granite memorial that is set aside to honor canines whose lives were dedicated to military service. The MSPCA has offered final repose in its Hillside Acres cemetery to combat-serving dogs since before World War I. One of the dogs who laid to rest there is "Corporal Derek," a World War II veteran who was twice wounded in the Battle for Guadalcanal. He lived for several years after the war and was eventually buried at Hillside in 1952.
There are currently more than 700 military working dog teams worldwide, most of which are deployed in Afghanistan. They are trained through the Air Force K9 Dog Handler program at Lackland Air Force Base.
The free burial service for military working dogs includes a custom headstone, inscribed with the dog's name, installed at no cost by Colizzi Memorials. The typical cost of a burial of this kind would be approximately $750. The MSPCA and Colizzi Memorials are honored to be able to work together to provide this lasting tribute to dogs who offered unwavering devotion to their handlers and to their country.
Hillside Acres is the final resting place for more than 18,000 animal companions. The area designated for war dogs has ample space to accommodate up to 100 burials, with future expansion possible.
