AMMAN, Jordan (MarketWatch) - The U.S. economy is poised to grow for the first time in more than a year during the current quarter, but it will still feel like a recession because unemployment and debt levels remain too high to support a sustainable recovery.
When the first estimates for the just-concluded second quarter are released next week, they'll probably show that gross domestic product growth was negative for the fourth quarter in a row, the first time that's happened since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
But in the third quarter (which began July 1), the GDP will probably turn positive. Some will take that news as a sign that the recession is over, that fiscal stimulus should be abandoned, that money growth should be reined in, and that the Federal Reserve should begin raising its interest rate target back to a normal level.
However, a wide range of economists - from Nouriel Roubini to Ben Bernanke - say the economy will remain weak for a year or longer.
"Job insecurity, together with declines in home values and tight credit, is likely to limit gains in consumer spending," Fed Chairman Bernanke told Congress earlier this week "The possibility that the recent stabilization in household spending will prove transient is an important downside risk to the outlook."
"The over-indebted U.S. consumer -- whose deleveraging process yet has to start -- will likely continue to put the brakes on consumption, while the savings rate continues to creep up," said Roubini, head of RGE Monitor and one of the few economists credited with seeing this recession coming.
GDP counts output, not outcomes
To understand how GDP could be up with the economy still down, it helps to know how GDP is calculated. GDP is a measure of output, not outcomes. In the short run, the economy can produce more stuff without creating more jobs, and without boosting wages, profits or living standards.
GDP is calculated as the sum of all goods and services produced in the United States. It counts the production of goods and services sold to consumers, businesses, government agencies, and foreign buyers (while subtracting imported stuff that we consume). It counts investments in homes, businesses, and government projects. And finally, it counts the things that were made, but not sold - in other words, inventories.
Inventories fell by a record amount in the first and second quarters. At some point, probably in this quarter, businesses will decide they've reduced their overstocks enough to match the lower level of sales.
A similar process has been occurring in the home building sector for nearly four years. The decline in building has slowed and has perhaps bottomed. Home building could actually add to GDP in the third quarter for the first time since 2005.
The trade balance is also likely to add to growth in the third quarter. Imports continue to fall while exports could be ready to rise again as the global recession winds down.
If inventories, exports and home building each add a bit to growth, and business investments drop only modestly after their record plunge in the first quarter, the economy could reach a positive GDP number without any contribution from the consumer sector at all.
Final demand flat
To get sustainable growth, however, you need sales to increase, and there is no sign that final demand from consumers or businesses is improving. Retail sales, auto sales, home sales and capital good orders are no longer falling as they were late last year, but they aren't rising either.
"Most elements of demand are essentially flat-lining, and the engine of growth for the recovery is not yet clear," said Andrew Tilton, an economist for Goldman Sachs.

Knowing when to apologize is an important skill to have in both business and personal relationships. Sometimes, however, we start saying "I'm sorry" in situations that do not call for an apology, and end up coming across as weak or lacking self-confidence. Here is an example: your boss asks you to complete a project, and then calls you in to discuss your work. She points out a few areas she would like changed. For some of us, the knee jerk reaction is to say, "I'm so sorry, I'll fix that." But in this situation, you have nothing to apologize for – you didn't do anything wrong, you just have some items that need adjusting. Instead say, "I understand, what can I do to improve this?" Now you come across as confident and ready to problem solve. So save the "I'm sorry's" for situations where you truly did something that calls for an apology. It will make the sentiment carry that much more weight when you really mean it.
Just say no to sorry
3 Responses
I agree, however not all bosses do.
I received this advice from a male boss once and I think it's a good guideline to follow. Save the apologies for when they're really needed.
Could not agree more. I have a colleague who constantly says she is sorry – sorry for turning down or up the thermostat, sorry for using the copier, sorry for doing things that do not require an apology. While I would love to see some manners utilized in the workplace (e.g. please, thank you, excuse me) sorry is overused in places it should not be uttered. Now if we could just get people to throw the bag/box away after taking the last donut or bagel with the garbage can sitting right there….

This year's Big Spring Clean proved very successful with 61 groups and over 2000 volunteers taking part, including three primary schools: Barley Close Community Primary School, Pucklechurch C of E VC Primary School and Tortworth VC Primary School. Over 400 bags of rubbish were collected throughout the campaign. Free equipment was offered to groups who organised a community Big Spring Clean event and the council collected up the bags of litter.
Cllr Claire Young, Chair of South Gloucestershire Council's Communities Committee, said: "This year's Big Spring Clean campaign went really well, and all the groups who took part did a great job at clearing up their local areas. The feedback we received from volunteers was very positive and together they collected a huge amount of litter."
Alison Richards, Street Cleansing Coordinator at South Gloucestershire Council, said: "Litter picking events can take place at any time during the year and the council will provide a free loan of litter pickers, hoops, gloves and bags. Anyone who wishes to take part can get in touch with us via the website or by calling 01454 868000."
The Big Spring Clean ran from 1 March to 30 April, and saw individuals, councillors, parish councils, community and voluntary groups, church groups, schools, students, youth clubs, scouts, cadets, brownies, guides, and businesses all taking action against litter as part of the national Love Where You Live campaign.

Extract from American Notes (1842)
[Washington] is sometimes called the City of
Magnificent Distances, but might with greater propriety be termed
the City of Magnificent Intentions; for it is only on taking a
birds-eye view of it from the top of the Capitol that one
can at all comprehend the vast designs of its projector, an aspiring
Frenchman. Spacious avenues that begin in nothing, and lead nowhere;
streets, mile-long, that only want houses, roads, and
inhabitants; public buildings that need but a public to be complete;
and ornaments of great thoroughfares, which only lack great thoroughfares
to ornamentare its leading features. One might fancy the
season over, and most of the houses gone out of town for ever
with their masters. To the admirers of cities it is a Barmecide
Feast: a pleasant field for the imagination to rove in; a monument
raised to a deceased project, with no even a legible inscription
to record its departed.

Landmark Ridgewood Theater to Reopen This Year
by Justin Ludwig | March 8th, 2010
The Ridgewood Theater. — Photos courtesy of Michael Perlman
What was once the country's longest continuously operating movie theater will entertain film enthusiasts soon again after community groups earlier this year won the building status as a historical landmark.
The Ridgewood Theatre on Myrtle Avenue first opened its doors to vaudeville shows in December 1916 with 2,500 seats. During its 92-year run, the theater lived movie history; silent films, the first "all-talkie" feature, and eventually modern-era blockbusters.
Hoping to save the storied theater, closed in 2008, from demolition, a fate to which many aging New York theaters have succumbed, a coalition of preservationists and community groups joined together to support the building. After nearly two years' work, the groups succeeded Jan. 12 when the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) designated the building's facade an historic landmark.
Art deco meets Beaux-Arts at the Ridgewood Theatre.
"I'm very, very thankful," said preservationist Michael Perlman, who chaired Friends of The Ridgewood Theatre, the coalition responsible for the landmark effort. "Theaters are the 'ultimate public institutions' which bridge the generations, as they foster community growth and pride, harbor countless memories, and often exhibit the work of our country's most skillful architects."
Perlman said he views the Ridgewood Theatre landmark project as "a case study in terms of teamwork." The coalition included members of the Queens Preservation Council, of which Perlman is director, Rego-Forest Preservation Council, 4 Boro Preservation Alliance Corp, and Central Queens Historical Association, among others.
"Community and cultural groups were shocked by the [theater's] sudden closure," he said. "I was proud to see such a diverse coalition of supporters."

BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Integration in city recalled
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Before a crowd of about 70 people Thursday evening, former San Angelo College coach Phil George recalled the day the school now known as Angelo State University enrolled its first black athlete, Benjamin Kelly, thus becoming an integrated school.
Kelly had approached the president of the college and announced that he'd like to play football for the Rams, George said.
"One thing I know happened," said George, who didn't witness the meeting firsthand but learned about it shortly thereafter. "The president called the chairman of the board and said, 'We just integrated the college.'"
George was one of four San Angeloans invited to attend ASU's panel discussion, which was organized by the university's Multicultural Center, West Texas Collection and University Center Program Council to recognize Black History Month.
The other panelists were former teachers Sandra Gray and Mary Frances Owens; and Ella Mae Johnson, former president of the local NAACP.
"We had this committee and it was just the collaborative effort as to who we thought would have a lot of knowledge" of segregation and integration in San Angelo, said Joe Munoz, senior executive assistant to the president.
Last year's panel educated the public about black history on a national level, Munoz said, but this year focused on San Angelo's history.
"We started contacting people; we started going through the archives of the West Texas Collection," Munoz said. "We know this is the tip of the iceberg. We're hoping others will come forward and perhaps approach the West Texas Collection and allow them to scan photos, anything they have" that will help ASU educate students and the public about its local black history.
Earlier Thursday, ASU also held a celebration during which information was provided about the period of integration and segregation at the school and in San Angelo, according to a university news release.
The public was "just so appreciative, so grateful that we were having this and focusing it on San Angelo," Munoz said. "We have the gallery set up in the UC with a lot of memorabilia and photographs and paintings and a map of where the black-owned businesses used to be located. A lot of these folks saw their relatives, saw themselves in some of these photographs."
During the evening discussion, Johnson described her childhood during segregation, describing a more peaceful setting than what television has depicted in other parts of the U.S.
"We didn't know Billy Stevenson was a white boy," Johnson said of her old playmate. "Nobody told us that. We didn't discuss color in our home. I didn't really know what integration was about. One day we sat Mother down and said, 'What is integration?' She said, 'You don't need to know, and I don't want to tell you. You learn to get along with everybody.'"
Owens told of moving to San Angelo and working at Blackshear — which was a black high school at that time — just prior to integration in the early 1950s.
"When I started out there, I realized there were going to be some changes made," Owens said. "In 1955, when they said the schools would have to be integrated, we were immediately called in. We were pledged to secrecy."
Children on their way to newly integrated schools were chased with dogs and hosed down in some parts of the country, she said, but Owens and other faculty who knew of the impending integration were told "we are going to do this, and we are going to do it without any of these things happening," she said.
"Everything went so smooth, and I was just proud of San Angelo, especially with the administration that orchestrated the whole thing," Owens said.
San Angelo Independent School District worker Dudra Butler watched the discussion from the audience. Butler, who attended school in San Angelo and graduated from ASU in the 1970s, recalled a more painful history.
"I don't ever want to whitewash" the discrimination of those days, Butler said after the panel discussion had concluded. "It was the era."
Even now, she added, racism is "still lurking. I wish we lived in a world where people just always did the right thing."
Owens said panel discussions that recount black history are important because "if it's not told now, it probably never will be remembered. If you look at the things that happened and the things people went through during that particular time, you would understand why it's so important we remember the way it happened here in San Angelo."

Paulson, Hartmann win marathon titles
Two distance runners with ties to Oregon won individual marathon titles in Minneapolis on Sunday.
Sherwood's Ilsa Paulson, a former two-time Oregon state prep cross country champion in 2005 and 2006, won her first U.S. title in winning the USA Women's Marathon Championship with a time of 2 hours, 31 minutes, 9 seconds in the event hosted by the Twin Cities Marathon.
The 20-year-old Paulson, who turned pro after one season at Northern Arizona, picked up a check for $26,500 as she became the second-youngest USA women's marathon winner in the championship's 35-year history.
Meanwhile, former Duck Jason Hartmann took first place in the men's open race (which was not a USA Championship event) with a time of 2 hours, 12 minutes, 9 seconds. The victory was worth $27,000.

How do we teach compassion?-A A +A
Breathing Gratitude
Thursday, May 15, 2014
AS A mother, I am conscious about providing the right guidance for my children, especially in their character formation, which, for me, is the most important. This is one area where I am superfluous in my teaching, but hopefully not to the point of nagging.
I constantly harp on them loving each other. I tell them that my greatest joy is to see them taking care of each other. I'm sure every parent could relate with how wonderful it feels to see their children loving, enjoying and taking care of each other. It's like I can die right there and go straight to heaven!
Another character trait that I hope for them to develop is compassion. This will hopefully make them socially responsible individuals.
But how does one teach compassion?
I feel that this has to be taught and modeled intentionally as opportunities won't come up much unless we plan them.
So in my many attempts to do this, I have exposed my children to various gift-giving activities, toy drives, and visits to the orphanage. I've spent a birthday at an orphanage where we shared food and toys with the children. They were also with me when my cousin Linzi Co and I organized Play Relief in Cadiz City after Yolanda struck the Visayas.
Last week, I found another opportunity when I learned that I could arrange a meeting with Janelle, our Tapulanga Foundation scholar. She has been my scholar for two years and is an incoming Grade 2 student at St. Francis of Assisi School in Silay City. (For only P1,250 monthly, you can already sponsor a child's education! If you are interested, please visit http://www.tapulanga.org)
So I briefed my children about the purpose of the meeting. It was to give Janelle a message of love and hope as she hopefully experiences God's love through us. My secondary purpose, which I kept to myself, was to give my children an opportunity to experience and practice compassion.
As we were making plans, one of my children was nonchalant about the whole thing. So much for teaching compassion, I thought. But then I quickly realized that showing compassion is something that I need to genuinely model. Children pick up on the authenticity of our intentions. Unless they see that our actions are done because we personally believe in it, they won't embrace it. Teaching character traits like compassion cannot be forced on anybody.
So I decided to respect my children's comfortable level of participation in the endeavor.
They first played in a kids' activity center and although they weren't highly interactive with Janelle, they at least checked on whether she and her friend were enjoying themselves.
At the restaurant, my children asked if we could order ice-cream for them and when it was time to choose books to buy, they helped them find books that were appropriate for their age.
Even though I don't know exactly what the effects are of these experiences on them, I have faith that someday, somehow these seeds would grow and bloom. As parents we just need to keep on giving them opportunities to learn and grow in Godly character.
When asked after the meeting about how they felt about it, Gabe said "I feel like a blessing." It was a positive experience for them, one that made them feel grateful for their own blessings and the capacity to share what they had with others.
I'm not sure if these are signs of developing compassion. All I know is that it was a great experience for us and hopefully for Janelle and her friend, too.
I was grateful for what had happened and I reminded myself that developing character traits doesn't happen overnight. It is a long, beautiful collection of experiences that hopefully I can continue to purposefully design for them while they are young.
I finally realize that as I try to help them grow in character, I too must continue to grow in character, in order for my teaching to be authentic and thus, most effective.

New Java 7 language features should be backwards compatible
Right NOW, I am just starting to use J2SE 5.0's features, like generic types or java.util.concurrent, in my bigger projects. The reason is that large corps are slow, and they use application servers from even slower vendors... As a project architect, I'd love to send an email to my clients today, informing that our projects are moving to Java SE 6 and Glassfish V2 (or other up-to-date server) next week - we'll even do that migration for free!! because my life will become much better afterwards... but no, this is obviously not an option.
So that's the real world: I'm just starting to use Java 5. Java 6 is a distant dream - IBM's JDK 6 just went gold after an year-long beta, but there is no WebSphere update yet to include the new JDK, I guess I'll have to wait another 1-2 years until this update is fully complete, supported, tested, endorsed, and available in my clients' production servers. So when it comes to Java 7, well, I think I'll be happy if I can use that in large-scale, mission-critical applications (with IBM gear anyway), before I retire...
The real problem is that Java 5's language features were implemented with too many ties to the J2SE 5.0 platform: -source 5 will only accept -target 5. There's an unsupported javac switch that will allow some generics to target 1.4. But javac could do much better, as proven by third-party tools like RetroWeaver and JBoss Retro. (Similar support from javac would be much simpler than in those tools; javac could generate alternative code for older JVMs straight away, instead of generating 5.0-only bytecode that needs to pass through complex bytecode transformations to be replaced by alterenative code.) But it's also hopeles to use these tools in the environments I deal with. These translators have two severe problems:
1) They are not official tools. If I propose to use these things, my client's first question will be "is this supported by [insert large app server vendor here]?".
2) They make the edit/compile/deploy/debug cycle even more complex. I have systems with several dozen EARs and over a hundred projects, and I depend on the productivity of IDEs that update deployment into servers, automatically and quickly, and these IDEs have no flexibility to add a bytecode post-processor anywhere (but correct me if I am wrong, it's been some time since I last checked these tools).
So, my #1 wish for Java SE 7, whatever is the set of new language features that we decide to implement, is: make a best effort to support these features with -target 5, or at the very least -target 6. All features proposed to date are in the category of syntax sugar that's easily compilable into bytecode that current JVMs can load. Of course there's always some corner casees, like J2SE 5.0's enums which required new serialization support in the guts of the Java core; or in the same release, generics requiring new reflection APIs. So even if the proposals for Java SE 7 require special runtime support, there are several workarounds:
- Generating different code for older JVMs, even if it's slower (good solution when the runtime support is only an optimization).
- Backporting the new runtime support to the older JVMs, but making it private - for example, repackaging new APIs into sun.* packages, and translating calls to these APIs.
- Proving compatibility jars that can be dropped in older JREs' lib/endorsed. BTW, this could also be a great solution for critical new core APIs. See the backport-util-concurrent project for a good example - but it shares the same problems of being a non-official, non-supported package (although it's easier to sneak into projects: just drop the jar in your EAR's /lib and don't tell anyone...).

Tour de France 2013 Stage 13
Tours to Saint-Amand-Montrond 173km
Cannondale Pro Cycling wanted to be attentive for Peter Sagan. Defending his lead in the Maillot Vert competition was their only goal. But they could afford to sit back, as the other sprinters have a long way to go before catching up to Sagan.
After only 60km of racing and a six-rider break up the road, the Omega Pharma-Quickstep team saw their opportunity and took it. With the wind battering the peloton, they saw a chance to blow the race apart. By doing this, they hoped that sprinters who could rival Cavendish would be on the wrong end of the explosion.
As Omega Pharma drove the pace, the pack split. And Argos-Shimano's Marcel Kittel, winner of three sprint stages, was on the wrong side of the split. So, too, was second-placed Alejandro Valverde of Movistar, who had the misfortune of a flat tire as the race was coming apart.
Seeing this, the Belkin team went to the front to help Omega Pharma drive the field, hoping it would put their top man, Bauke Mollema into second. On the road, it looked like that was happening, as the lead group went into the intermediate sprint at 60.5km remaining with a 1:23 gap. Cannondale, with riders at the front with Sagan, led him out, but both came around Sagan to go first and second, with Sagan losing only a few points in third.
Omega Pharma and Lotto-Belisol still had the stage win in mind and with Belkin contributing to the chase, the gap to the Kittel-Valverde group grew.
With 35km remaining, Saxo-Tinkoff went to the front. They rode an echelon in the crosswind to break apart the leading group for their leader Alberto Contador and his first lieutenant, Roman Kreuziger. With Saxo driving, the group was whittled down to fifteen. Yellow Jersey Chris Froome of Sky was gapped. As was Greipel. But Sagan and Cavendish, each with teammates, and the top Belkin riders were all accounted for.
Valverde was watching the race ride away from him. Froome, his team weakening every kilometer, only watched as his two remaining Sky teammates worked with Lotto in the hopes of averting disaster.
Coming into Saint-Amand-Montrond, Saxo was still firing on all cylinders, trying to get every second they could on Froome. Into the final kilometer, and Omega Pharma's Nikki Terpstra attacked to stretch out the lead group. Cannondale's Maciej Bodnar chased him down. That done, Omega Pharma's Sylvain Chavanel wound up for the sprint with Sagan on his wheel. Chavanel swung off with 300 meters remaining. Sagan paused. And Cavendish blew by him for the win. Sagan easily taking second, winning the best young rider competition on the day, but losing points to Cavendish, who is now 83 points down on Sagan in the race for the Green Jersey
While it's hard to beat Cavendish, Sagan was frustrated with his second place. "I was a little bit stupid today. I must be on Cavendish's wheel, not him on my wheel. But it was hard for everyone today. Very stressful. I was happy to make the front group. Saxo went hard when the tailwind came. Cavendish and I were the last riders to make it to the Saxo group."
Stage Fourteen, starting in Saint-Pourcain-Sur-Sioule and finishing 191km later Lyon promises to be another day-long grinder. Seven categorized climbs on a day of rolling hills means that the pressure will probably be on all day. It's the kind of ride where Peter Sagan can hang with the climbers and rouleurs and then smoke them all in the sprint. Cannondale Pro Cycling will keep him sheltered as long as possible so Sagan will be ready to go with the later moves.

I'll guess 15K. Pretty sad.
Meanwhile Cal will have have well over 50K.
I'll guess 15K. Pretty sad.
Meanwhile Cal will have have well over 50K.
The last few games at CAL they've barely brought 7K or so. They return huge numbers of tickets. They simply don't have a fan base anymore and they certainly don't have a fanbase with the backbone to trek up to Berkeley. They're pathetic.
It's sad actually. It used to be a great site to the solid blue and gold section of Memorial meet the red and white section... something very cool about that.
Its interesting - I went on StubHub yesterday and they have or had almost 1,000 tickets on their site. And I'm not talking about endzone seats - some of those are in the Cal Donor seating at $160 a piece.
It is supposed to rain on Saturday - that will likely figure into the attendance.
when in doubt assume furd fans wont show up. remember they didn't even sell out big game at their stadium the year they were going to the rose bowl.
I am thinking 5k at the most! Stanford people absolutely hate walking around Berkeley - Watch them on Telegraph clutching each other - it is hilarious..they appear stiff, awkward, and totally out of place (well, they are!). In addtion, the visitor's section seating at Memorial isn't exactly a comfort zone for wine and cheese tasting! Being 7 point favorites and coupled with the rain - they will be invisible..oh, and by the way, most Stanford "fans" (if there is such a thing) would never consider even entering a Port-a-Potty..
Yeah I was about to say the same thing. Does anyone get the impression Furd fans think of Berkeley on gameday as some kind of out-of-control savage wilderness?
(Which is actually true, but only as much as any other normal college town on gameday, something Furd fans will never understand in a million years)
One of my Furd co-workers said she's never been to a Big Game at Berkeley because she was afraid she'd get shanked for wearing Furd red. I had to point out we were talking about Berkeley, not the prison yard in "Oz".
i've heard many furd fans clame they used to go to big game, but didn't return because of the cal fan treatment. what a bunch of garbage.
I hope we sell out the stadium regardless of how small the visitor contingent is...
Both of the Stan. fans will show up, if the weather is clear!
Go Bears!
I just went to stubhub. There are almost NO seats available in donor section and meanwhile there are large chunks of seats available in what should be Stanford Sections.
There are 66 seats available in what could charitably be called donor seating, even though many of those are in lower rows which are "add-on" donor seats.
Meanwhile, in section KK there is a block of 20 tickets available. In Section PP tehre is a block of 10. Sectoin W has a block of 25 (clearly a speculative purchaser)... etc...
This total misrepresentation of something so incredibliy innocuous as ticket availability is what shows (along with their posting history) some posters clearly have an agenda.
However, I'm not sure if one can buy the first few rows on the west side as someone from the general public, or only as a major donor.
25,000--just like all the other visiting teams claim they'll have. In reality I'd say 5-7,000.
Keep up the good work. Maybe every thread can be appropriately "redirected". Then this will be the best board on the interwebz!

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A 30-year-old San Antonio man has been charged with murder after his girlfriend, their 2-year-old daughter and another man were found dead in his apartment.
Chris Allgood is booked in the Bexar (BAYR) County Jail in San Antonio with bond set at $205,000. He's also charged with discharging a firearm.
Police identify two of the dead as 26-year-old Courtney Gass and their toddler, Anika. The dead man's identity hasn't been revealed.
Police spokesman Chris Benavides tells the San Antonio Express-News that the shooting happened around 3 a.m. Sunday at the Coral Ridge Apartments on the city's North Side.
A guard at the complex heard the shots and found the 30-year-old man in the parking lot armed with a rifle. Benavides says the guard detained the suspect and called police.

Itz Tiffany's talents allow her to spit over digital element-laden production in two different languages. Now that's skill.

5 Must-Haves for Successfully Working from Home
Many successful startups begin as home-based businesses. Working from home for the first time can be rewarding and exciting, but it is often also challenging. Wonder if you have what it takes to work from home? Check out this list of 5 must-haves:
1. Discipline
This might seem obvious, but often people quickly lose discipline when working from home. With no boss watching you, no set schedule and none of the other cues and controls that come from working in an office environment, YOU must provide the structure. Work set hours, have a designated work place that is all business, and hold yourself accountable for deadlines and schedules. If you don't, you can quickly find yourself not being effective at all.
2. Focus
Let's be honest, when working from home there can be a lot of distractions. The internet, TV, phone, video games, family, household chores, and so much more are there, in your face, and vying for your attention. But, you have to create an environment and mindset where work time is just that, WORK TIME. If you allow yourself to get in the habit of injecting other household tasks into your workday, the lack of focus will be detrimental to your work. It is ok to have break times and down time, but stay on a tight schedule, and do not allow the bulk of your work day to deviate into other things.
3. Accountability
Whether you are reporting to yourself, or to a company you work for, you have to be accountable. This means reports or spreadsheets of how you are spending your time, regular communication with the boss, coworkers, and/or clients that demonstrate you are spending your time wisely and effectively. Failure to do so will not only create issues with those you work for and with, but will result in people underestimating your value to the organization and your contributions to success. "Keep score" and it will motivate you as well.
4. Planning
Often when people plan to work at home for the first time, they do not properly plan to do so. They just assume that it will be easy to get things done. No commute, no boss breathing down their neck and the comfort of home lead them to believe this is an easy thing. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. You need to have set work hours, a designated workplace, and you have to plan how you will utilize, manage and report your time spent working. Simply sitting down and writing this all out is a great way to make sure you get off to a great start that will not lead to bad habits and mismanagement further down the road. Obviously, one of the attractive facets of working at home or for yourself is flexibility, and when appropriate, it is ok to take time off for family and personal matters. Just try to make sure you plan it ahead rather than just taking time off whenever you feel like it.
5. Support
When you set out to start working from home it is critical that you have the support of your friends, family, or anyone else that you live with or who spends a lot of time in your home. This is even more important if you have children. You have to have a serious conversation with those you are close to about your expectations, boundaries, and why it is important that these are met to ensure you are successful. You need your family to support you, but it is upon you to show and demonstrate how they can best do so. Creating the right expectations from the start will allow you to be successful working from home, and to have a strong relationship and support structure with those you care about most.
Bryan - Great and important
Bryan - Great and important article. Well done! If I can suggest two other "Must Haves" when working from home...they are 1) Organization and (2) Scheduled Breaks During the Day.
Most people's home offices are a fraction in size of typical offices. It's critical to keep everything neat and organized so that your most important papers and folders are readily accessible.
Second, I don't worry so much about the people being distracted by the comforts of home, but the exact opposite. Many home-based businesses are so worried about staying in business that they NEVER leave their home office. It's imperative to have scheduled breaks, anywhere from 5-30 minutes, each day to break up the routine of sitting at one's desk for 8-10 straight hours. One should almost never have a meal at their desk. People should also set a timer so that several times a day they do short, 10-minute stretching exercises or take walks around the block.
Again, great article! Keep up the good work.

David Lynch wrote and directed Lady Blue Shanghai, a 16-minute short film with Dior branding that suggests someone here might want to sell a purse, or something. From Eraserhead to Blue Velvet to Clear Blue Easy home pregnancy tests, Lynch's work is unmistakable. The glowing bag recalls the briefcases in Pulp Fiction and Kiss Me, Deadly, while the creepy, hushed interiors seem like they're just down the long, dark hall from those in Lost Highway. With the odd angles, red curtains and flashing lights, it would be no surprise if a backwards-talking little person danced into the film to whisper the identity of Laura Palmer's killer. [via Salon]

I recently caught up with the third season premiere of Showtime's Dexter, which airs this Sunday at 9pm (though has been available on the Internet seemingly for eons) and the first two episodes of season two of Californication. Minor spoilers ensue.
When it comes to Dexter, sadly, I mostly agree with Maureen Ryan of The Chicago Tribune. Since she's a real television critic, I'll let you read her version. I fear she is correct when it comes to thinking there were a limited number of seasons you could squeeze out of the Dexter premise, but I am slightly more optimistic that that number might be three seasons because I've only seen the one episode and hopefully it was a set-up that leads to better things for the rest of the season.
The wonderful thing about Dexter, at least in the first two seasons, is that they took a fairly creepy and dark concept -- sociopathic serial killer - and not only made the show a lot of fun, they made the sociopathic serial killer likable. Not an easy thing to do and it was done brilliantly the first two seasons. I'll hold out a little hope. Without the Dokes character, or the Ice Truck Killer to use as Dexter's nemesis, it appears for the season that fate will fall this season to Jimmy Smits. I'm not yet sure if that's the case or how I feel about it if it is, but I'm open to taken in at least another couple of episodes before declaring it over for Dexter.
I didn't really agree with Ms. Ryan about Californication being "on the upswing" though. I really enjoyed season one of Californication, but I found at least a couple of the characters (including the main one) soooo annoying in the first two of episodes of season two that I didn't even make it all the way through the second episode. I will revisit it later as it's possible I'd taken in more television than my mind could process. I doubt it though. Californication is definitely a show that draws different reactions from different genders and I found myself agreeing much more with Tim Goodman, the TV critic for the San Francisco Chronicle. Tim headlined his article Californication loses its grip with reality.
But props to Mo Ryan for catching that the new role of rich and psycho music producer, Lew Ashby was acted by none other than Callum Keith Rennie who is best known for his Battlestar Galactica role as the model "Number Two" humanoid Cylon, better known as Leoben Conoy.
Earlier in the week I showed a little love for Felicia Day for her role on House and described her as a geek's geek. She's now even geekier to me. I was on the site where we got the WordPress theme we're currently using and looking for answers to a couple of questions in the support forums when I saw that Ms. Day had done the same thing. I wound up clicking over to her blog and reading a really cool post about her experiences with her role on House. If you want a very nice insider look at some of her experiences with acting in general, her role on House, and Hugh Laurie's blue eyes, It's definitely an enjoyable read.

The late Waylon Jennings and other artists recorded "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys."
Perhaps that's not true at LM Arena.
Children barely big enough to sit in a saddle through 19-year-olds have competed at LM Arena for about 10 years. Many of them hail from the Guymon area, but others travel from Texas, Kansas and New Mexico.
Guymon Playdays are held again this year at LM Arena, every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., until July 24.
Safety is a priority.
A veteran coach with 22 years at the helm at Texas schools will be the new head baseball coach at Guymon High School.
The Guymon Public Schools Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Mike Haskell Monday night to take over coaching duties formerly held by Dave O'Sullivan and to teach social studies at GHS.
With the departure of O'Sullivan after heading the GHS math department and serving at the helm of the Tiger baseball program for several seasons, there had been questions of who would replace him.

HS Volleyball: Lubbock Coronado sweeps Cooper, AHS; FWC sweeps Wylie
The day before the Bev Ball Classic was not a good one in terms of final results for city volleyball teams, but local coaches did see some bright spots in their third day of competition.
At Abilene High, Lubbock Coronado swept Cooper and AHS. At Wylie, Fort Worth Christian swept Wylie to hand the Lady Bulldogs their first loss. All five teams are entered in the Bev Ball Classic, which starts today at AHS and Cooper.
Coronado beat Cooper 25-13, 25-22, 25-17, becoming the first team to take as much as a game from the Lady Cougars, then downed Abilene High 25-22, 25-20, 25-16. At Wylie, Fort Worth Christian topped the Lady Bulldogs 25-22, 25-20, 25-23 in a rematch of last year's Bev Ball championship match.
Against Cooper, Coronado allowed just two points on serve in the first game and struggled to build momentum the rest of the match. The Lady Mustangs (4-0) were led by Kalani Giddens with 13 kills and Haidyn Scott with eight, while Lizzy Dimba had three blocks and three kills.
Cydney McCormack had six kills for Cooper (3-1) with Angela Snow recording six kills, 13 assists and five digs. Rachel Pope added five kills and eight digs.
Lady Cougars coach Nora Campbell said the slow start left her team fighting an uphill battle the entire match.
"We felt kind of out of control, not in control of our side," Campbell said. "We were just constantly trying to defend what was coming at us instead of taking advantage of it and creating offense out of it.
"(Coronado's) passing was really good. They were pretty fast paced, and at some point you feel like you're constantly taking it. We could never get a good enough ball-control pass to create any consistency with out offense. When you get that out-of-control feeling, it doesn't create momentum. Two points off serve is not going to get you where you need to be."
Against Abilene High, the Lady Mustangs managed to pull out two close games to start the match, then wore down the Lady Eagles in Game 3. Despite the outcome, AHS coach Didi Pierce said she saw improvement from her team.
"Our goal now is to move forward from this point," she said. "When you play a team that's very good, it's going to make you play better on your side. I'm very pleased with how we performed.
"I can't really ask for much more. We still need to work on blocking. That's probably the point we need to focus on."
Coronado coach Chad Jones was impressed with his team's ability to play at a high level against AHS after a long bus ride and the earlier match.
"I liked the speed Abilene High played with," he said. "It's what we're going to see throughout district and it's what we're trying to do. We're actually trying to play even faster than that. (It was good) for our girls to get to see that speed and shake the cobwebs off after being on the bus for three hours and playing a game, battling and not giving up.
"At any point (AHS) could have won Games 1 and 2. We just kept battling back. We really tightened up and didn't make errors. We made smart plays and took care of the ball. I think that was the biggest difference at the end. We just stopped making errors, extended rallies and kind of forced their hand a little bit."
Giddens again led Coronado, recording 15 kills and 10 digs, while Scott recorded eight kills and five digs. Setter Kyleigh Lucia had 33 assists and two service aces.
Kimberly Truitt and Logan Berry each had eight kills and nine digs to lead the Lady Eagles (2-2), with Reagan Davis getting seven kills, nine digs and 12 assists. Makenzie Reece and Britney Tucker had 11 digs apiece with Morgan Vandever getting 15 assists.
"Those were two great defensive teams battling it out," Pierce said. "Under normal circumstances, those balls are going to fall and that's point after point. (Coronado) just kept a body on the floor and came out on top."
At Wylie, Fort Worth Christian managed to fight off the Lady Bulldogs through three tight games, continually winning key points on long rallies. Wylie coach LeAnn Thomsen said her team, which graduated seven seniors off last year's state-tournament team, had to step up its play in the match.
"They stayed positive," she said. "We were in the match. We were in the games. Fort Worth Christian led us throughout most of the three games, but we were always coming back. We can fix the things we're looking at out on the court.
"I've got to give credit to Fort Worth Christian. I expect them to be in the finals of the Bev Ball tournament. They were good and they've got some great hitters."
Michelle Lytle and Kylie Jenkins each had seven kills for Wylie (3-1). Bradi Wilson and Tucker Smith were all over the floor with Wilson recording 24 assists, 17 digs and four kills while Smith had six kills, six assists and six digs. Lytle added 15 digs and libero Meagan McCright had nine.
"The one thing I told my girls is the ball is going to come back over the net because their defense is phenomenal, and we weren't quite used to that," Thomsen said. "A great defense will frustrate you a little bit, but I feel like we grew in getting more patient in when to really go for the kill."

As the winter season is upon us, I would like to offer tips on how to save money on your winter heating bill. With energy prices going up, it pays to be smart about your energy use.
First, did you know your furnace needs a periodic tune up? Replace or clean your furnace filters every year. Keep your furnace lubricated and working properly. I have an old gas gravity heater in my San Francisco home, and PG&E will come out every few years and check it (including cleaning it) for free.
Second, my Chinese American mother always told us to wear a warm sweater in the winter so she would not have to heat our Stockton home so much. Try putting on your sweater and then adjust your winter thermostat to 68 degrees. Lower the thermostat more when you leave the house. Why pay to heat the house when you aren't there? Lowering your thermostat 3-5 degrees Fahrenheit can save you 20 percent on your heating bill
Third, check that your home has proper weather stripping around window and doors so you aren't losing heat. There is nothing worse than a cold, drafty house! How do you know if you need weather stripping? On a windy day, go to each door and window and see if you can feel cold air. Sometimes, three edges of a window are fine but one edge is not. Sealing your home with tight weather stripping will keep you warmer inside and help lower your energy bill at the same time.
Third, for low-income customers, your energy utility has programs to give you a 20 percent discount on your gas and electric bill if you qualify under the total household incomes below:
Household Size Care Income Limit
1 to 2 $30,500
3 $35,800
4 $43,200
5 $50,600
6 $58,000
Each additional $7,400
If you think you qualify for the 20 percent discount, call your local energy utility. Here are the CARE numbers for the three largest energy utilities in California:
PG&E: 1-866-743-2273 (toll free)
Southern California Edison: 1-866-743-2273 (toll free)
San Diego Gas and Electric: 1-800-411-7343 (toll free)
If you are of low income and in a crisis situation, such as having received a 24-hour or 48-hour disconnect notice or service termination from your utility company, the state's Energy Crisis Intervention Program may be able to help you by making one payment a year for you. Contact them at 1-800-433-4327.
By making simple changes in your home and taking advantage of consumer programs offered by California and its utilities, you can save energy and money and have a warm and happy winter.

It's a source of some frustration for trainer Joe Pride that Rain Affair hasn't been able to showcase his wet track ability in the past 12 months.
Rain Affair is undefeated in six starts on tracks rated in the slow or heavy range but the five-year-old is unlikely to strike those conditions when he lines up in Saturday's Group One BTC Cup at Eagle Farm.
Brisbane Racing Club officials have rated the Eagle Farm track a dead 4 with showers forecast leading into Saturday's meeting.
"It's out of my hands but if we were to get some rain I'd be more than pleased," Pride said on Brisbane's RadioTAB.
The last time Rain Affair struck a wet track was in last year's Expressway Stakes at Rosehill when he won by four lengths.
Pride was relieved when Rain Affair drew barrier two in the BTC Cup while arch-rival Buffering will start from barrier seven.
"Buffering's got a long preparation in front of him and if he was to serve it up to my horse to try and get across I'm not sure that would be the desired result for him," he said.
"My horse goes along at a nice clip and I think every horse will have their chance if that takes place."
Rain Affair has been described by Pride as an aggressive horse who hates to be overtaken in his races.
At his latest appearance the gelding finished second to All Too Hard in the All Aged Stakes, a race which traditionally hasn't been much of a guide for the BTC Cup.
The only BTC Cup winner to have used the All Aged Stakes as a lead-up run was Bentley Biscuit in 2007.
Melissa Leitch, stable foreman for trainer Robert Heathcote, said Buffering has improved significantly since his Victory Stakes win on April 27.
"He had a big blow after the race which was expected but on the following Monday you wouldn't think he'd had a run," she said.
"Damian said he felt the pinch the last 50 metres that day so there is improvement in him."
Buffering will attempt to become only the third favourite to win the BTC Cup in the past decade.
Since Falvelon in 2003 only Apache Cat (2008) and Black Caviar (2011) have started favourite and won.

Brave burns victim Ellah's gift of hope to her parents after they lose Port Arthur store in blaze
- From: Mercury
- June 03, 2014
A PORT Arthur family devastated by fire twice in eight months is vowing to rebuild their lives by drawing inspiration from their little girl.
Tim and Anita Watson say they will build again after their Port Arthur general store — the hub of the community — was destroyed by fire at the weekend.
They will adopt the fighting spirit of their daughter, Ellah, 5, pictured with her father, who was badly burned in October when her pyjamas caught fire while she played with a candle.
Only 24 hours after losing their store, Ellah and her parents yesterday attended a Give Me 5 For Kids fundraiser for the Royal Hobart Hospital's Children's Ward.
The fundraiser is supported by the Mercury and radio station Heart107.3.
Mr Watson said they wanted to honour the dedicated staff who treated Ellah after her accident.
"Dave Noonan [Heart presenter] invited us a month ago and Ellah was excited to go,'' he said.
"The children's ward and the burns nurses are a very big part of her getting better.''
Eight months ago, Ellah was playing with a candle in the bathroom of the family's Port Arthur home when her mother, who was in the shower, heard her scream.
Mrs Watson saw Ellah's pyjamas on fire, grabbed the child and stood under the shower with her for 15 minutes until the Nubeena ambulance arrived.
"The hospital told me that if Anita hadn't done that, Ellah's burns would have been a lot worse,'' Mr Watson said.
"Ellah was screaming hard to let her out of the shower but Anita kept her in there as long as she could."
On Sunday, the family was hit by a new blow.
An insurance assessor arrived yesterday, and the Watsons plan to rebuild and get it going again. Mr Watson said they planned to set up a temporary depot for mail.
"We're not going anywhere,'' he said.
The blaze on Sunday is believed to have started in a heater that quickly consumed the building. Units from four country brigades could do nothing as stunned locals stood back and watched.
Mr Watson's mother, Gaylene, lives in a dwelling attached to the back of the general store and was about to open when she saw black smoke coming from the back of the building.
Mrs Watson was lucky to escape with her life and her pet dog, Mia.
"I lost everything,'' Mrs Watson said.
Locals are shaking their heads, saying things cannot get much worse for Port Arthur.
Tasman councillor Roger Larner said the loss of the general store would affect tourists staying in self-catered accommodation on the Peninsula.
"No petrol, no milk, no bread – it's the worst it's been for 50 years – it's gone backwards instead of forwards,'' Cr Larner said.
"It takes the Peninsula down another notch.
"The worst part is it's our post office – it's a big loss.''
Stewarts Bay resident of 40 years Julie Salter said older residents who did not drive would have trouble accessing their mail from Nubeena, 12km away.
"It's going to be hard,'' Ms Salter said.
The general store was open seven days a week, sold fish and chips that were popular with log truck drivers and tradies who stopped off for lunch. It sold groceries, gifts, greeting cards, magazines and newspapers.
"There were things there for everybody,'' Ms Salter said.
Carnarvon Bay resident Fay Briers said there were at least 50 post office boxes at the store, which was like the hub or meeting place of the community. She said she felt for the Watsons.
"I feel sorry for them, they put so much effort trying to build it up,'' Ms Briers said.

Having known the Watsons for a while now, they are outstanding people who always put others before themselves and stayed with Ellah in hospital day in/day out while running the store at the same time. A beautiful family who deserve a break.

So tragic again for this little family.i hope they get the support they need quickly.

Mike Posner Comes Home To Shoot 'Top Of The World' With Big Sean
December 19, 2013 5:19 PM
Slacker Read More
I feel like 2014 is going to be a huge year for Mike Posner. The Michigan artist is set to release his new album 'Pages' after the first of the year and it features his new single 'Top Of The World' with Big Sean.
Posner stopped by the station a few months ago and is literally one of the nicest, humble people you will ever meet. He said hooking up with Big Sean was a no brainer. The two have been friends for many years, being featured on one another mix-tapes and albums and this time is no different.
Posner flew back to Michigan for this video and hooked up with some pretty important Detroit athletes during the video. Check out the newly released video/tracj below and hear it on 98.7 AMP Radio.

Fertility 'affected by age at which mother hits menopause'
Academics have found that the age a woman goes through the menopause can help health professionals determine the fertility of her daughters.
A study found that early menopause related to a more rapid decrease in ovarian reserve. And it claims that a woman's fertility is affected by their mother.
Researchers measured levels of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and the number of antral follicles in women and then looked how old the mother was when she entered the menopause. They found both the hormone levels and the antral follicle count (AFC) fell quicker in those whose mothers had experienced menopause before the age of 45.
Lead researcher Dr Janne Bentzen, from Denmark's Copenhagen University Hospital, said the research was the first to claim that the decline of AMH and AFC was slower in women whose mothers entered the menopause over the age of 55 than in those whose mothers experienced menopause before turning 45.
He said the study, published in the journal Human Reproduction, supported the notion that women's reserve of eggs was affected by their family history but said the subject needed more research.
Dr Bentzen said more scientific studies were needed which measured AMH levels over a long period of time until a woman goes into the menopause.

By GIL MONTANOLayton
For years I've stated that the reckless deficit spending policies of G.W. Bush would bring about the financial economic collapse of the traditional American way of life that we have enjoyed for the last 60 or so years.
"As you sow, so shall you reap," or, "The chickens come home to roost" are the truest of all axioms. King George just doesn't get it: i.e., he doesn't realize that among other things, spending trillions we can't afford, in a futile no-win war would help bring about the major economic disaster we currently find ourselves in.
Well folks, we are there, like it or not. The economic crash of 2008, like the crash of 1929 will wipe out trillions of our people's wealth. Unemployment is at an all time high, 1000's are losing their jobs. Lines of credit are tightened if not frozen. In reality, this is the end of one era and the start of another.
What happened? How did we get into this unbelievable economic financial mess? Well, it's a combination of several things.
â¢The government and the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) with it's easy money bail out of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, AIG and other money markets (not Lehman Brothers or Merrill Lynch) at a cost of billions to the American taxpayers.
â¢President Bush and his profligate spending.
â¢The United States Congress and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for liberating the Wall Street CEOs and moguls.
â¢Americans brainwashed into spending way more than they can afford: i.e., credit card debt, consumer debt, auto debt, corporate debt, etc., are all at all time record levels.
It's all over folks. We've been living on credit for far too long. No more. From now on we are going to have to live the old fashioned American way (live within our means).
Now, President Bush, U.S. Treasurer Paulson, and FRB chairman Bernaske, and their cronies are setting up Ad Hoc committees to try to bail out Wall Street, the money markets, and to strive to solve this unsolvable economic mess that they caused in the first place. This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
In the meantime, we, the taxpayers are just helpless spectators. Call it gloom and doom, but I fear for the traditional American way of life. I just don't see any solution to this catch 22 economic world wide crisis we find ourselves in. Obama and McCain certainly can't resolve it.
In closing, I quote Republican President Herbert Hoover in 1929, who just before the crash stated, "The financial business of the USA is on a sound prosperous basis."
Conversely, Republicans G.W. Bush and John McCain, in 2008 have both stated, "The financial fundamentals of our economy are basically strong."
Look out folks.

DULANEY CREEK. Dulaney Creek rises at Ben Jones Spring, six miles northwest of Sweetwater in far northwestern Nolan County and a mile south of the Nolan-Fisher county line (at 32°30' N, 100°30' W), and runs northeast for six miles to its mouth on Kildoogan Creek, just north of the county line in far south central Fisher County (at 32°32' N, 100°26' W). It traverses flat terrain with locally shallow depressions, surfaced by expansive clays that support water-tolerant hardwoods, conifers, and grasses.

Top 5 Clips of the Week: The Situation Smooches Snooki, 'Glee Project' Kid Walks Out on Ryan Murphy, Bateman Talks 'Arrested Development' Movie & More (VIDEO)
by Alex Moaba, posted Aug 6th 2011 12:30PM
What a wonderful week it was on the TV. 'The Jersey Shore' returned in Italy, and quickly developed a Snooki-Situation situation. Jason Bateman talked about the 'Arrested Development' movie and then told us not to. A 'Glee' spin-off got put on hold as a 'Glee' project kid walked out on Ryan Murphy. Lewis Black finally made fun of Sarah Palin. And Kathie Lee wished death on all in-laws. Let's get to the videos. After you check them out, vote for your favorite of the week.
Jason Bateman stopped by 'The Daily Show,' where Jon Stewart asked him about the long-rumored 'Arrested Development' movie. Bateman chastised the "fringe-media" for jumping of rumors, then threw us some red-meat, looking into the camera and promising that as soon as series creator Mitch Hurwitz finds a deal, the whole cast is ready to make the movie. Now go and try to headline that without feeling like a jerk, bloggers.
'Glee' creator Ryan Murphy doesn't seem to be the easiest guy to work with. He announced he'd abruptly stopped writing a planned 'Glee' spin-off this week after getting frustrated with the latest round of public cast shake-up drama. But who knew it was getting to bad that even the 'Glee Project' kids are getting hesitant about working with him. Cameron left the show despite Murphy almost promising him a role and begging him to stay.
'Jersey Shore's' Season Abroad in Italy premiered to record ratings this week, drawing in an astounding 8.8 million viewers. The series is clearly reaching a of triumphant high-water mark, so it seemed entirely fitting that sparks were flying between Snooki and The Situation, the most quintessentially 'Jersey Shore' hook-up possible ever. No wonder the US got downgraded Friday.
Lewis Black explained the surprising reason he doesn't do Sarah Palin jokes. He's so horrified of everything she stands for that he prefers to believe she's some sort of crazy hallucination rather than someone who could actually be elected president. That, or it just took him a really long time to write this one hilarious Sarah Palin joke.
Kathie Lee managed to derail a 'Today' segment this week, and she wasn't even drinking. No, this time it was her advice on dealing with in-laws that cracked everyone up out of sheer disbelief. In short, it was to marry someone older, so your in-laws are ... dead. Lolz all around.

Yin Yoga with Live Music & Kirtan: Dennis Hawk & Sattvic Yoga
6:00- 7:00 PM- Yin Yoga w/ music led by Erika King 7:00- 7:30 PM - Potluck- bring a dish to pass! 7:30- 9:00 PM- Kirtan with Dennis Hawk and Band In yoga we seek balance- an equal amount of Yin and Yang. However the majority of western yoga practices concentrate on yang- lots of movement, with an emphasis on stretching the muscles. If we only concentrate on stretching the muscles we can weaken our joints and create a state of imbalance in our bodies. But Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues around the joints rather than the muscles, creating more space for the joints and flexibility from within. Once you have experienced Yin Yoga, you will realize that you have been doing only half of the asana! "Kirtan is a form of devotional chanting whose roots go back over 500 years to India. It is a form of Bhakti Yoga (yoga of devotion) and has the power to open the heart. The singing is accompanied by musical instruments and the audience is encouraged to participate by chanting, clapping and dancing. You will not be able to resist the urge to join in! In its heartfelt expression Kirtan can induce profound states of meditation, bliss and ecstasy. There is a sweet sound vibration that permeates through all layers of coverings and makes God dance. That sound vibration is Kirtan. It is a mysterious connection that draws people to each other." ~ Gaura Vani

Gen. Shepley appeal to Maj. Gen. Ord, Virginia, 1865
Brig. Gen. George F. Shepley wrote an appeal, labeled "personal," to Major Gen. Edward O.C. Ord, commander of the Union Department of Virginia, who had recently relieved Shepley of his command of the Division of Eastern Virginia.
Shepley, a Maine native and lawyer and U.S. Attorney before the war, wrote that the Military Commission in session at Norfolk had been collecting testimony "with regard to the official acts and conduct of myself and other General Officers," and that the testimony was secret and some based on hearsay and rumor -- and that he had no opportunity to hear it or contradict it.
He wrote, "It is publicly stated here and generally believed that I was relieved of my command in consequence of this testimony which I have never heard and therefore this respectful request and protest seems to me to be imperatively required from me."
The letter is a copy of one he sent in February 1865.
