Indeed, the Attorney General never made a response to the court as is required. What notice and response it issued was to me only. I will fully deal with that response hereafter.
At the time I received the referenced notice, the issue had become moot since Clinton for whatever reason withdrew from her quest for the Presidency. Therefore, it was futile to proceed, as the court would have done what I did, and that was to dismiss the complaint. After carefully checking the clerk's file to make sure that no Defendant had appeared or filed any papers, I could safely dismiss and did.
The belated and private response by the Attorney General's (AG's) office is worth some attention even though I would still argue that it was insufficient and fell short of what is required by law to address and silence the issue by a prior ruling of an inferior court which the AG's office presented as Res judicata.
In STEAMS v. VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS, 353 F. SUPP. 473, 475 (D.C.D.C. 1972)
The District Court held: "Masculine pronouns are often used to refer to antecedents of indefinite or mixed gender without modifying the meaning of the antecedents. Here, The pronoun "he" refers to the word "person", which latter term obviously encompasses both male and female persons." emphasis mine.
This lawsuit was filed by a woman who was an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. armed forces serving fourteen months of active duty in foreign countries during WW II. In February 1971 she sought membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars [VFW], a quasi government corporation. Basically ,she was denied membership because of the male pronouns used in the charter or articles of incorporation which caused some if not all male members to regard VFW as a male only organization.
In reaching its ruling, the court often referenced the VFW charter as the "Constitution" giving some tagging to the U.S. Constitution which it was not!
To my knowledge the ruling was never appealed, as likely the male membership of VFW was largely sympathetic to the issue that women should not be excluded from membership. Had the ruling been appealed first to the Circuit Court of appeals and then if necessary to the U.S. Supreme Court, which would likely have upheld the lower court and had simultaneously applied it to the vague gender references of Article II of the U.S. Constitution, the lower ruling would have been determinative of the issue and resolved. That has not happened. Additionally, If The Equal Rights Amendment had not been defeated by the male dominated hierarchy of the Mormon or LDS Church between 1976 and 1977, the issue would have been resolved.
So at this time, Sarah Palin or any other woman who wishes to become the President of the United States, please take notice that I as a retired attorney will take up the issue again should she or they publicly seek office I do this not because I have any prejudice against a matriarchal led government for I understand that was the way it was anciently.
I simply wish to see the issue resolved as a matter of law in order to keep our laws safe and clean. Perhaps Sarah Palin ought to be spending her present "traveling" time in the US addressing this issue. For you can be sure Sarah that if steps are not taken to correct this legal jungle, you will likely become a defendant in a new lawsuit based on the same issue.

Avis le plus récent
" The hotel was a hassle. The man who worked at night refused to believe we put a deposit down, he was rude and did not know what he was doing. They didnt explain the charges up front. The women who works during the day was the nicest women who worked the whole situation out for us, only good thing about the place. The first day they did not service the room. The walls were paper thin and the atmosphere was a little uneasy. Every time we tried to use our room keys they wouldn't work. "- Anonyme

I have an array whose elements are name, reversed_name, first_initial and second_initial. A typical row is "Aaron Smith", "Smith, Aaron", "a", "s". Each row in the array has a first_initial or second_initial value of "a".
I need to display the rows alphabetically but based on the "a" part, so that either the name or reversed_name will be displayed. An example output would be:
- Aaron Smith
- Abbot, Paul
- Adrian Jones
- Atherton, Susan
I really have no idea how to sort the array this way so any help will be much appreciated!

Five Reasons Notre Dame Will Win The BCS This Year And Texas Won't: Part 5
College football's Top Ten this year has been a holy mess -- some crummy teams have been ranked highly (Ole Miss, Cal), others haven't (Miami, Iowa).
UT has stayed steadily in the number-two spot, mostly by playing no one of any worth whatsoever. (Even UH beat Tech, and UH couldn't even beat UTEP.)
This week, though, UT outdid itself, taking no chances against even the lame-ass opponents they usually round up. It won't help them in the long run, of course; this past weekend once again produced five reasons why Notre Dame will win the BCS title and Texas won't.
1. UT's vaunted offense scored no points this week. Get it? It's a joke!! Because UT had a bye week! More seriously, though, the bye allowed Colt McCoy to actually make it through a Saturday without throwing an interception, although we did hear he got picked off four times in Madden.

2. Notre Dame defeated a Washington team that beat USC this year. You know, USC, the single-most dominant college football team of the 21st century, according to ESPN? USC's dynasty has been marked with at least one unshared national-title win, so you know they're good. And Washington must be even better to have beaten them. Yet ND won.
3. ND's defense was, simply, unbelievable. Three amazing goal-line stands against one of the best double-threat QBs in the nation? Unbelievable. Giving up continent-sized chunks of yardage by refusing to tackle anyone not in the red zone? Unbelievable. And, as anyone will tell you, unbelievable defenses win championships.
4. Jimmy Clausen led another dramatic comeback win. Against a team that was a two-touchdown underdog, to be sure. But UT has been favored by multiple TDs almost every game this year. Has Colt McCoy ever led the Horns to a dramatic comeback win in any of those games? No. Heisman advantage: Clausen.
5. Notre Dame scheduled its bye week so it would have two weeks to prepare for USC; Texas scheduled its bye week so it would have two weeks to prepare for...Colorado. Maybe -- just maybe -- the extra time studying the Buffaloes' so-called "defense" will let McCoy get through this game without a pick. Fingers crossed, Horn fans!!!!

This was our second time at Baiona's Parador. We had convinced friend to pay more than they wanted and booked two rooms. Quite unfortunately, our stay did not live up to 5 stars expectations. The check-in was rude, totally inadequate for a luxury hotel. When we found the room with an empty tissue box, I mentioned to the front desk. Their response was "muy bien" and I said "no, muy mal". Three hours later there was still no tissues. No apologies whatsoever. Then, using the safe required a special card from the front desk which was not provided at check-in and they would not bring it to the room, you had to go and get it. The check-out was with the same clerk as the check-in and sadly as rude. There was not one word of welcome or good bye ever! The hotel overall is still a wonderful one, just that everything can sometimes be marred by inadequate service
Have not stayed in a Paradore for six years. We previously thought Paradore dinners had a great qulity price ratio. The dinner menu of the day was a joke. Marginal at best. For 33 euros, we received marginal soup, approximately 2 ounces of sea bass and the dessert of unripe strawberries with whip cream. Hope this is an exception to the rule. On to the next Paradore...hoping for the best.
great location and beautiful views, room quite small and basic for the price
very unique hotel with amazing ocean and town views from rooms. small beach and pool. great breakfast. lovely staff. short walk into town.
great location for walking to everything in town. Small beach and nice pool. gorgeous views from room. Breakfast is a top notch buffet. Front desk very nice - limited english and ability to act as concierge in spanish or english, but the bathrooms and rooms were very comfortable.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

A bowl on a side table works, but is kinda boring, so why not make your own out of Lego?To be honest, it's not a particularly challenging build: you just need a base plate—choose one big enough to hold all the sets of keys that will end up dangling from it—and a bunch of Lego piece 3176. You can find them on eBay pretty easily. Fasten the plate to a wall however you choose to, thread a single piece 3176 onto each of your key chains and, voila, the world's coolest key storage device is yours.

I have an ASP.NET page which usually runs quickly, but sometimes has to call an external service which can take a few seconds to respond. So, most of the time, I want this page to run as usual, synchronously, but run asynchronously when it needs to call the service.
I'm guessing I can just set
<%@ Page Async="true" ... %> and only run the asynchronous code (setting the event handlers, etc) when needed, in the code-behind. If I don't set up the asynchronous event handlers, the page will run synchronously, as normal, with no performance hit or other issues.
Is that approach regarded as perfectly fine, or are there issues with that?

Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Mehmet Okur wouldn't — still couldn't, he seemed to suggest — narrow down the window for how much longer it will be before he returns from Achilles tendon surgery.
Mere days?
Maybe more months?
Or something in between?
Okur simply isn't sure.
"It's just hard," he said, "to put any timetable, time on the table, to tell you guys how much farther I have, or how many days, weeks, whatever."
But the Jazz center did take a big step in the process Tuesday, when for the first time since rupturing his left Achilles last April, he both practiced and participated in a 5-on-5 scrimmage with teammates.
According to a Jazz spokesman's text message, Okur "completed" the full practice.
The Jazz, who play host tonight to New Orleans, had been anxiously anticipating that moment in Okur's progression.
But they know it's only one more check mark on a lengthy recovery list.
"The real test comes when you get up and down the floor, start banging and knocking people around and getting knocked around. How's that affect you?" Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said prior to the practice. "Everybody feels like that's the thing for him to do now in order for him to continue to make progress and go from there."
Sloan wasn't about to predict, either, when Okur might return — or guess how close to full strength he really is.
"I hear people say, well, he's 60 percent, he's 70 percent, 85 percent," Sloan said. "I don't know how in the heck a guy knows that."
Whatever the number now, teammates are eager to hear 100.
The Jazz have opened 10-5 with newcomer Al Jefferson, arguably more of a true power forward, playing center. But they miss the outside shooting and rebounding that the 6-foot-11 Turk, a one-time NBA All-Star, has to offer.
"I think he makes life easier on a lot of people," point guard Deron Williams said Tuesday. "It's no secret that he's been a big part of our success in the past, so we definitely look forward to getting him back and getting him healthy."
"We're not trying to push him. We're not in a desperate situation regardless," added Sloan, careful to make it clear he won't rush Okur. "The player's more important than us, and we try to approach it that way."
Before Tuesday, Okur had been running but playing mostly in 2-on-2 situations.
He said the purpose of taking part in Tuesday's scrimmage — his first 5-on-5 action in more than seven post-surgery months — was "to see myself what can I do, or what should I do more often."
Okur said he knows he still needs to "try to get my strength back a little bit and try to get back my calf muscle — a little bit bigger, stronger."
But whatever he does at this point, Okur indicated he's doing it all-out — and isn't holding back. Yet he also said he realizes he's still not in "basketball shape."
"Since I started to play 1-on-1 and 2-on-2s, I feel better and better every day," Okur said.
"I don't think about it too much, my leg," he added. "Just try to play hard, and hopefully I'm gonna get better soon. ... Hopefully I'm gonna catch up right away, and go from there."

What difference does it make? A person could get cancer due to corporate environmental contamination, suffer side affects from drugs made by the drug companies, many people who never smoked or drank and lived healthy lives ended up with cancer. There are no guarantees in life. Makes no sense to single out a group.<quoted text>
As it was before the ACA I (with a capital I) was being forced to pay for smoker's healthcare with no recourse. At least now they can contribute more to the cost. So is it better for me to pay for someone else's bad decisions or have that someone pay for their own bad decisions?
This is why we need universal single payer healthcare paid through taxation. Everyone treated the same.
My ex brother in law in Canada is recovering from surgery in a rehab center that costs him $14.00 a day, when he goes home, they'll provide home care and housekeeping help, and do grocery shopping!! What a civilized country. Here that would cost at least $10-15,000 a month.

Would you like to see closer military ties between NZ and the US?
Relevant offers
US defence secretary.Leon Panetta said American forces will act on "any information that is credible" to hunt down and send a message to the insurgents in Afghanistan responsible for the deaths of three Kiwi soldiers.
"Any information we have that is credible and that gives the opportuntiy to be able to go after those that did it we will do whatever we have to do in cooperation with the forces in New Zealand to make sure that they understand that nobody attacks our forces and gets away with it."
Mr Panetta made the vow ahead of a presentation ceremony awarding medals to five New Zealand defence personnel who served in Afghanistan.
He praised the work of New Zealand defence forces in the region and acknowledged the "heavy price" New Zealand had paid.
Ten New Zealand soldiers have died, five of them in recent weeks.
"As secretary of defence one of my toughest jobs is to write letters to the families the American fallen," Mr Panetta said.
"I struggle each time for words that can provide comfort or meaning to try to help at a time of such heartbreeak."
But he found there was comfort in assuring the families their dead had died "a hero and a patriot".
"They died fighting for those they loved and a nation they loved; there can be no greater sacrifice. The same is true of the 10 kiwis who have not returned home from Afghanistan. "
Prime Minister John Key confirmed yesterday a small contingent of SAS had returned to Afghanistan to be involved in the hunt for the intelligence against the bombers responsible for the three latest New Zealand deaths.
But it is possible the lead bombers have already headed over the border to Pakistan.
Chief of Defence Rhys Jones confirmed it was usual for al qaeda leadership to cross the border to Pakistan "when it gets a bit hot for them".
He would not confirm, however, whether there was any intelligence to suggest that was the case with the killers of PRT members Lance Corporal Jacinda Baker, Private Richard Harris, Corporal Luke Tamatea, and Lance Corporals Rory Malone and Pralli Durrer in two separate incidents.
Earlier, Panetta announced the relaxation of restrictions on New Zealand ship visits to American ports.
Panetta made the announcement in Auckland during a visit for talks with defence minister Jonathan Coleman.
It is the first visit to New Zealand in 30 years for an American defence secretary.
Currently New Zealand ships are banned from US military bases but Panetta said they will now be allowed at bases in the US and around the world, subject to a waiver.
Panetta also announced the lifting of existing restrictions on talks between senior military personnel, which had previously required a waiver from the US.
He said the relaxation of restrictions on New Zealand naval ships signalled a new era in the relationship and a drive to deepen cooperation between the two countries.
Asked when a New Zealand naval ship would visit a US base, Panetta said it would probably happen soon.
But when asked if a US warship would visit New Zealand soon he sidestepped the issue.
Under its "one fleet" policy, the US refuses to distinguish between ships that carry nuclear weapons, or are nuclear powered, and those that are not.
Panetta, who was welcomed to Auckland's Government House with a traditional powhiri this afternoon, leaves tomorrow after a barbecue with Prime Minister John Key.
Talks while he is here are likely to include Afghanistan, the US military's new focus on Asia and the Pacific and the step up in military training and exercises between the two countries.
The lifting of the ban on New Zealand warships entering American military ports came after our navy was snubbed last year during a major multi-national naval exercise off Hawaii.
After being invited to the Rimpac exercise for the first time in 28 years, the Kiwis were blocked from berthing at Pearl Harbour, and forced to dock at a civilian port downtown.
The ban was one of the remaining vestiges of a "presidential waiver" system slapped in place by the US in retaliation for New Zealand's anti-nuclear legislation. Other restrictions, including intelligence sharing and a ban on training and exercises together, have since been lifted.
After a 30-year standoff, the US and New Zealand are making up for lost time. Beneath the quiet diplomacy there has been an aggressive push to step up co-operation between our armed forces.
At "synchronisation talks" at the start of this year a new course was laid out by senior defence personnel from both countries: there was to be a gear change from the previous focus on co-operation and humanitarian work in the Pacific, to more direct military exercises and training.
The most visible of those was New Zealand's invitation to Rimpac. It used to be a standing joke that there were only two countries in the world not invited to the monster display of military might - North Korea and New Zealand.
This year's guest list included 22 nations, 42 ships, six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel. The vestiges of the old grudges over the Anzus rift were not eradicated, however.
The New Zealanders were required to dock at a civilian port, away from the American warships at Pearl Harbour, a hangover from the old system that for years required a presidential waiver before any military-to-military exchange.
Other exercises have been less visible. In February, New Zealand joined nine other countries taking part in Exercise Bold Alligator on America's east coast, one of the biggest joint and multinational amphibious assault exercises in a decade.
In June, Operation Galvanic Kiwi saw our troops train alongside marine combat engineers in the US.
And in April, 35 Marines and 41 army personnel participated with New Zealand and British troops during the 10-day Exercise Alam Halfa, held in the central North Island.
Ernest Bower, of Washington-based Centre for Strategic Studies, said the step-up in the defence relationship fell under the umbrella of US President Barack Obama's much-trumpeted "pivot to Asia", a US strategy " to really shore up and improve relations that should have made sense across Asia years ago".
"It means visiting, it means senior level exchanges on a regular basis, and it means institutionalising this relationship and that is clearly what this visit [by Secretary Panetta] is all about."
But most defence analysts also see the "pivot" strategy as one that is aimed primarily at containing China.
The trip has sparked the usual flurry over ship visits. An American report quoting unnamed US officials as suggesting Panetta would announce the resumption of US warship visits sparked a phone call from Washington to Coleman on Monday night reassuring him that was not the case.
Bower says a ship visit anytime soon is unlikely and it would cut across the quiet diplomacy of recent years aimed at reassuring Kiwis that getting closer to the Americans does not mean sacrificing nuclear-free New Zealand.
"It's a quiet evolution . . . and if you think about the guys who run the relationship, that's where they want to be. I notice New Zealand leaders are not chest-beating, except when it comes to sports of course. In terms of diplomacy and security relations, I think everybody would want to carefully and slowly keep doing things to keep expanding that list."
But if ship visits are the last bastion, three-way exercises involving the old Anzus allies, New Zealand, the US, and Australia, are almost as sensitive. None have been held so far, in recognition of the old sensitivities.
But Bower says no-one is in any hurry to push the relationship ahead faster than people are comfortable with.
And as for the Pearl Harbour snub, that fence would be mended over time. "Some of the older guys in our navy still carry some baggage, and there are some in New Zealand who still feel pretty strongly about this stuff.
"Some of those guys are still around and maybe one of them was in charge of parking."

Nathaniel Drinkwater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nathaniel Drinkwater is a fictional character, the protagonist of a series of novels by Richard Woodman. In the series, he is an officer in the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.
According to Woodman, Drinkwater was born on 28 October 1762 to a poor family. His naval career started in 1779. His patron, Lord Dungarth, encouraged him to keep out of the larger ships of the line to indulge in smaller, and more interesting fictionally, engagements, with a series of secret missions later in his career. His French enemy, Edouard Santhonax appears in several books.

California League pitchers have been testing Addison Russell's patience this month, but shaking him out of his approach has been like trying to ruffle a penguin's feathers.
The A's top prospect drew four walks Wednesday night, mixed in a career-high three steals and scored twice as Class A Advanced Stockton edged Bakersfield, 4-3.
The four walks tied the career high Russell established on Aug. 8, also against Bakersfield. He's drawn 21 free passes in 24 games this month after collecting 24 in 66 games from May through June.
"I was just looking for my pitch and I didn't see my pitch tonight," he said. "I wanted to stay within my approach tonight, and it just worked out that way."
Ranked 19th among MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects, Russell said maintaining that approach is slightly more difficult on nights like Wednesday -- hitters like to hit. While he sees the value in his performance, he admitted it's a battle to go four at-bats without putting a ball in play.
"I'm somewhat pleased," he said. "I got on base a lot, stole three bags tonight. I did a lot of things to help my team tonight, so that's not a bad night. I guess you could say I get a little anxious, though. At this level, you have to keep yourself composed and stay within your approach."
The 11th overall pick in last year's Draft is 21-for-24 on the bases as he wraps up his first full Minor League season. After going 0-for-1 in July, he's 9-for-9 this month.
"I'm just getting more confident," he said earlier this month. "The speed's there, the ability's there. It's just a matter of being confident."
Russell drew his first walk in the first inning against Blaze starter Fabian Williamson. He stole second, took third on Bobby Crocker's single and scored on Tony Thompson's sacrifice fly.
In the second, Stockton put a pair of runs on the board before Russell drew another walk, this time with Myrio Richard already at first. Richard and Russell executed a double-steal but were stranded in scoring position.
The 19-year-old shortstop batted with two outs and nobody on in the fourth and worked his third walk. This time, Williamson tried to pick him off but threw wildly, allowing Russell to stroll into second.
In the sixth, Richard reached on an error in front of Russell but was picked off of first. Russell walked against reliever Kyle McMyne and, with Crocker batting, picked up his third theft. He scored from second on Thompson's single up the middle.
Ports right-hander Tanner Peters (12-7), three starts removed from a brush with perfection, limited Bakersfield to two hits over seven scoreless innings before being chased in the eight. He was charged with three runs on five hits -- including a pair of homers -- over 7 1/3 frames with five strikeouts and a walk.
The 23-year-old right-hander fanned 41 and walked four in five starts in August.
"He's always a guy who mows people down and makes them roll over," Russell said. "It's a good thing to have the defense we do and it's a great thing to have a pitcher, like Tanner, who keeps his composure on the mound."

If you're anything like me, there are probably certain traits that you see in other people that drive you crazy.
For example, here are a few less-than-pleasant traits that most well-adjusted people can't stand: rudeness, selfishness, thoughtlessness, laziness, arrogance, intolerance, dishonesty, and apathy, just to name a few.
But there's one more trait that's not on the list above that truly drives me insane.
I think that the reason why it annoys the hell out of me so much is because I used to be the living, breathing poster child for this miserable trait on a daily basis.
I was a chronic complainer. Yup, yours truly.
There used to be a time in the not-so-distant past where I would complain about anything and everything to anyone who had the misfortune of being stuck listening to my constant whining.
It didn't matter if it was about my job, the weather, the pain in my knee, my sorry bank account, my girlfriend drama, how busy I was, how tired I was (you get the picture). If something ever went wrong in my life, please trust that I would instantly put a negative spin on it, and then spend the rest of the day (or longer) complaining about it.
To this day, I am so thankful that I had a mentor years ago who was willing to snap me out of my funk by giving me some much-needed tough love.
He told me that my personal relationships would eventually suffer if I continued to constantly suck the energy out of every room with my complaining (he was right).
He told me that my professional career would eventually stall out if I constantly repelled the people who I worked with by complaining instead of taking action (again, he was right).
He told me that my mental, emotional, and even physical health would eventually decline if I didn't make a decision to stop complaining and wallowing in negativity everyday (he was still right).
It was then that he challenged me to do something that I thought would be completely impossible. More about that challenge is coming up later on in this post.
Thankfully, I accepted his challenge, because doing so completely transformed my life. More accurately, it saved my life.
I have never looked at complaining in the same way ever since, and if you engage in chronic complaining like I did, then hopefully I can help you to break the cycle too.
All it takes is a little tough love. That's why I'm here.
Venting vs. Complaining
Quite a few people often get confused by the difference between "venting" and "complaining," so let me set the record straight.
Venting is a good thing.
Venting is simply about blowing off some steam for one reason or another. For example, you might need to vent after you get off the phone with a ridiculously rude customer, or after a bird took a poop on your brand new jacket as you were walking into the office.
Venting is a positive and healthy activity because there's a clear goal involved: you are expelling your negative feelings (anger, frustration, etc.) about the situation and once you're done, you let it go.
Done correctly, venting should be an intentional and temporary state.
It's not about wallowing in the situation for weeks, days, or even hours–you vent about the asshat customer or the asshat bird (side note: can a bird be an asshat?), and then once it's off your chest, you move on.
A good way to know that you're venting and not complaining is that you should feel much better once you're done.
Complaining, on the other hand, may look similar to venting, but they are really nothing alike.
There is no clear goal to complaining. In fact, more often than not, complainers aren't even interested in finding a solution to what they're whining about.
Even worse, whereas venting can be done alone (for example, going to the gym for a hard workout, writing an emotional letter then throwing it away, or even crying can all be considered as venting), complaining is all about choosing to stay in a negative state by projecting that negativity onto someone else.
Complaining, unlike venting, isn't a temporary state of blowing off steam.
Complainers are usually stuck in a destructive pattern of needing a captive audience to serve as a dumping ground for their negative emotions.
Put it this way–you'll know that you're dealing with a chronic complainer if you're afraid to strike up conversation with him/her by asking the normally innocent question: "hey, how's it going?"
Complainers will bitch and moan (without listening to a word that you have to say), and of course, they'll happily take up as much of your time as you're willing to give to them. Worst of all, if you allow them to, they'll end up dragging you down into their emotional cesspool with you.
Also unlike venting, most complainers don't feel better after a marathon complaining session–if you don't believe me, just ask them. You won't feel better either if you're stuck listening to it.
There's nothing healthy about complaining. And just like many other unhealthy pursuits, it can be addicting if you choose to partake in this activity too often.
As a former addict, let me share how I kicked the habit, cold turkey.
The Challenge That Broke The Addiction
The worst part of complaining is that most chronic complainers think that they're just venting–I know this because I was one of those people who suffered from that common delusion.
The truth was that I wasn't venting, because it was far from a temporary, once-in-a-while type of deal for me. I was stuck in a constant state of negativity, whining, and complaining.
As soon as something went wrong in my life, I didn't even entertain the idea that there could be a nugget of positivity hidden inside of the difficult situation. Instead, my brain was destructively programmed to be cued up with a ready-made complaint to dump on any sucker who was willing to listen. There was nothing productive about my behavior–I just whined and hoped that people would feel sorry for me and how "hard" my life was.
Looking back on it now, I can only imagine how challenging it must have been to live with me, work with me, or hang out with me.
I was unquestionably addicted to complaining.
Thankfully, one of my mentors who was clearly sick and tired of my constant whining and challenged me to do something that was unthinkable to me at the time.
He challenged me to go 24-hours without complaining about anything.
At first I was a little annoyed.
"I'm not a complainer! I should be allowed to vent when I'm frustrated!"
He didn't buy it and told me to humor him and try it–so I did. The next 24 hours changed my life forever.
For the first time, I learned what it meant to truly live from conscious intention instead of unconsciously from habit.
Whenever something happened to me that day that was less than ideal, I paused to notice the automatic complaint that was about to leave my mouth–and then something very simple, but incredibly powerful happened next.
I chose to think a different thought, and equally as important, I chose to say more empowering words instead.
It sounds so simple, but I realized on that day for the first time in my life that I didn't have to be negative when faced with less than ideal circumstances.
The choice was always mine, but as crazy as this may sound to some people reading this, I never realized it until I completed the 24-hour challenge. I thought that complaining is something that you're "supposed" to do when shitty things happen.
I was so wrong.
I could choose to reject negativity and be positive instead.
Being positive has consistently gotten such a bad rap in some circles, and it's time for it stop. Positivity has nothing to do with refusing to see negative events, or even worse, sticking our head in the sand and pretending that the negative event is not happening to us.
That's not positivity, that's stupidity.
Positivity is about refusing to dwell in negativity, and more importantly, it's about consciously choosing to focus on more productive and useful solutions instead.
Or said differently, positivity is all about acknowledging the negativity, but never choosing to live there.
It's the difference between venting and complaining, and this simple wisdom saved my relationships, saved my career, and without any doubt, saved me from a living a life that would be far from my best life.
To me, choosing to break the "complaining addiction" is the only option that makes any sense.
First World Problems
The best thing about the 24-hour challenge is that it is impossible to do it without realizing immediately afterwards how useless of an activity complaining truly is.
It never makes anything better, it doesn't serve any purpose besides sapping your energy and the energy of those around you, and it makes friends and family screen you out when you call, or run in the other direction when they see you coming.
If you've ever had to deal with a chronic complainer in your life, then you know what I'm saying is true.
It is very important to mention that anyone who is dealing with big issues (death of a loved one, serious injury/illness, abuse, etc.), please know that this isn't directed towards you. When I was dealing with some very major issues in my life, I needed to hang out in the darkness for a while before I was ready to live in acceptance (or forgiveness, depending on the situation) and move on.
Specifically, this post about people who choose negativity and complaining when dealing with the far less serious "First World Problems" (FWPs). If you don't know what FWPs are, check out the short video below:
In the future when you're dealing with life's inconveniences (and you will), there really are only two options that make any rational sense:
1) Do something about the issue–and in the extremely rare instances where you can't, then…
2) Vent and let it go.
Complaining incessantly to anyone who will listen to us–while simultaneously wallowing in the negativity for an indefinite period of time, without any desire or interest in solving the issue, can no longer be an option.
Instead of complaining, we can choose resiliency.
Instead of complaining, we can choose thoughts and words that will lead us toward a solution, instead of keeping us stuck in the problem.
Instead of complaining, we can choose to raise the energy in the room and not drain it.
Instead of complaining, we can choose to remember all of the blessings that we have.
Most of all, instead of complaining, we can learn the skill of happiness.
There is nothing easy about any of this. If you are currently addicted to complaining like I was, breaking the vicious cycle may be one of the hardest things that you'll ever do.
Don't let that stop you.
This isn't about living a complaint-free life, a complaint free year, a complaint free month, or even a complaint free week.
This about challenging yourself to do something that's potentially life-changing during the only time that matters:
Good luck.

Dylan was just 20 years old when he appeared on the Folksingers Choice radio program on WBAI FM in New York City. He'd arrived in Manhattan just a few years earlier and was playing in the coffee houses of Greenwich Village, at one in particular he was paid "a dollar plus a cheeseburger."
During this hour-long interview with Cynthia Gooding, Dylan played some of his own songs ("The Death of Emmett Till", "Standing on the Highway") and covers of classics by Howlin' Wolf, Hank Williams, and Woody Guthrie. We scored this Blank on Blank with Dylan tuning up his guitar and playing his harmonica.
It's a wonderful snapshot in time, with a young Dylan before he was famous and before he even released his debut album. He's nervous and funny. He's just a guy with a guitar with a little mischief underneath.

CarGurus has 221 nationwide B-Series Pickup listings starting at $1,000.
2000 Mazda B-Series Pickup Overview
For the 2000 model year, Mazda rejiggered its B-Series lineup of compact trucks a bit. The automaker added new SE and SX standard-cab models equipped with its 150-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6 engine. An automatic transmission was added to the standard equipment list for the B4000 rear-wheel-drive model, while a CD player was standard on a wider range of B-Series trucks, including all B4000 models. Air conditioning was also available on more models, including all SE and TL (Troy Lee) trim packages.
The Troy Lee B-Series versions, named for a designer of extreme sports and racing equipment, came with fog lights, flared fenders, special alloy wheels, and body graphics. And high-end B4000 models received a trailer hitch as standard equipment.
In all, nearly 15 different versions of the B-Series trucks were available for 2000, including standard and extended cab models equipped with either two-wheel and four-wheel drive, and in either two-door or four-door versions. Engine choices included a 119-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a 150-horsepower 3.0-liter V6, and a 160-horsepower, 4.0-liter V6. The standard transmission was a five-speed manual, while a five-speed automatic was standard on the B4000 SE with two-wheel drive. For most models, the five-speed automatic or a four-speed automatic were optional.
As you can tell from the information above, standard equipment varied widely across the line, but generally included power brakes with the anti-lock feature on the rear wheels, dual airbags, a lighted entry system, and intermittent windshield wipers. Other standard and optional equipment included air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, alloy wheels, and a CD player.
While drivers noted that light trucks from other automakers may have come with more powerful engines or better payload capabilities, it was hard to beat the value, durability, and reliability of the Mazda B-Series trucks. Mazda made many loyal fans with its trucks, who generally noted having few problems with their vehicles and appreciated the trucks' economical operation.
