Put all of this stuff together and you will find both my daughter and I learning how to play and having fun while using GuitarBots!
GuitarBots is an online game that teaches you how to play the guitar. I think of it a lot like the popular Guitar Hero but instead of a guitar shaped controller with a few buttons for strings and a toggle switch for strumming - you get to use a REAL guitar with REAL strings and actually learn how to play.
I came across this one day and decided to give it a try. What an awesome learning experience!!
It is free to create an account and you are given 15 minutes of play time each day for free. The idea is that you play the notes just as the little ball bounces on the strings. numbers or blocks on the strings indicate which fret or chord to play. Your microphone picks up the sound and lets you know if you were accurate or not. It will even tell you if you are a bit early or a bit late with your notes.
You rack up points by accurately playing the notes. The points you earn determine the number of stars you will receive. You then use the stars to unlock higher levels. The game comes with a built-in tuner to help you make sure that you have a correctly tuned instrument before you begin to play. You can also earn badges for amount of playtime, number of notes played, etc. All of your stars, points, and other progress go towards your guitarist level.
|My guitarist level and badges as of this writing.
I must admit that I am very much enjoying this method of learning the guitar. So much, in fact, that I have chosen to purchase a one-year subscription which grants you unlimited playtime each day as well as access to a live guitar teacher. (At this time I have not accessed this feature yet - so no feedback on that).
You can purchase monthly access for $15, yearly access for $80, two-year access for $120, and lifetime access for $300. I thought this seemed like a great value - especially when compared to paying for guitar lessons.
That said, I see great value in a human guitar teacher but GuitarBots does an awesome job of motivating folks to get that practice time in. I think they could work very well together. My daughter also plays clarinet for the school band and has never been as motivated to grab it and play as she is with the guitar and GuitarBots. I used to frequently push and prod her to pick up the guitar and practice a bit and it often just sat there untouched but after introducing her to GuitarBots, she has grabbed it every day since.
Here is a short video of my daughter playing at the early stages of the game.
This game has really helped me to make my fingerings better and become better at making chord changes. If you are interested in learning guitar or even if you are pretty good already and just want to have some fun, I would highly recommend this game. There is no cost and no need to download and install anything. It was so simple!
Have you tried this?
Do you know of any other fun and highly educational learning games?
I would love to hear your feedback!
Have an awesome day!

Route optimization by use of rugged computers
Lantmännen - the Swedish Farmers Supply and Crop Marketing Association has improved their efficiency by installing rugged computers from JLT in their transportation trucks, showing real time data and giving optimized driving routes directly to the driver.
Lantmännen's business model is to provide conditions for profitable arable farming and livestock production and to find a market for the members' products. Lantmännen markets farming commodities such as seed, fertilizers, plant protection products and feed to animal production. After harvest the crop is delivered to Lantmännen to be stored, refined and sold to flourmills, feed industries, maltsters and distilleries.
An innovative solution for cattle food business
Sensors are mounted in the farmer's forage silos to collect information about the filling level in the silo. The sensors are connected to a communication terminal which regularly sends measurement values to Lantmännens production system. The information is then encrypted and sent via GPRS/EDGE on supervised connections. When the level in the forage silo is below a certain level, more forage is automatically ordered via Lantmännens production system. This arrangement enables optimal planning of manufacturing and distribution.
Justification for JLT-PC's in the trucks
Lantmännen has roughly 80 trucks for bulk transports that are equipped with JLT Mobile computers. Actual and latest customer information is displayed and optimized routing information is received on the computer. By using the touch screen, transport reports are sent directly to the business system and invoices are prepared within a few minutes after the delivery is completed. A map engine in combination with GPS and route optimization software shows the optimal route to take.
Specialist companies behind the solution
DataPolarna and IT Instrument Teknik are the developers behind the IT solution. DataPolarna specializes in software for industries, mines, sawmills and carpenters shops. IT Instrument markets instruments for measurements and analysis, scales and some niched solutions for process industry and data communication.
Delivering equipment built from ground up to withstand the harsh environments of the forestry industry for over 20 years
More than 20 years ago, JLT Mobile Computers developed a special kind of rugged PC specifically for the forestry industry
– it's where we got our start. Roughly 100,000 rugged computers later, companies big and small have been relying on JLT Mobile Computers for delivering the highest in quality, reliability and performance for enterprise-level computing in harsh environments. Whether it is timber cruising, log scaling, forwarding or milling, we can handle just about anything Mother Nature or workers throw at us at a surprisingly affordable price with global support.

Bendis Talks GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and HEROES FOR HIRE?
Interior art from
Guardians of the
Galaxy.In the first installment of our three-part interview with Brian Michael Bendis, we talked all-things X-Men, both All-New and Uncanny. For part two, the impending Marvel event series Age of Ultron was the focus.
For the final chapter, we cover pretty much everything else: A lot of Guardians of the Galaxy, debuting in February with a Point One issue; a little of the ongoing miniseries Daredevil: End of Days; and a dash of his new take on Heroes For Hire, which doesn't exactly exist as such yet, but has been strongly hinted at in both the real and fake world by Bendis and Luke Cage, respectively.
Courtesy of Marvel, we're also debuting a couple pages of brand-new Guardians of the Galaxy interior art by Steve McNiven.
Newsarama: Brian, so, between this and Daredevil: End of Days, do you have any other long-percolating stories that might be coming out soon?
Brian Michael Bendis: I gotta tell you, it's very gratifying to have these things come out. End of Days is coming out right now, and holy crap, the response is amazing. And may I say, I don't think there's a creative team in the world appreciating each other's company more than the creative team of End of Days. What a pleasure. I've loved Klaus [Janson] and Bill [Sienkiewicz], since I was a kid, to the point where it's embarrassing. They're doing the work of their lives; they're loving every second of it. It's been a pleasure for it to come out and people to be enjoying it so much, and Bill and Klaus, particularly, are enjoying how much everyone is enjoying it. They love this character. They absolutely love it. So if we get half of that on Age of Ultron, that'd be amazing.Interior art from
Guardians of the
Galaxy.Nrama: And it's certainly an attractive finished product.
Bendis: There are a couple of reasons why Daredevil: End of Days took so long, but part of it was, me and David [Mack] never wanted to stop working with Klaus and Bill, so if the book never comes out, we're never done. I've been working with Bill Sienkiewicz since 2007. That's fantastic!
I love these guys so much, and they're so cool. You guys have to report on the dick behavior every five seconds that goes on in this industry, and they're just cool guys, and they love comics and they love the craft, and it's just lovely to be around.
Nrama: Yeah, and obviously there have been famous cases with industry veterans developing a bitterness over the years.
Bendis: Not an ounce of it. You get a sense of this if you follow Bill on Twitter: Bill has no idea he's influenced this business. Every time someone says something nice he's like, "Really?" Completely shocked that people love him. It's so wonderful.Nrama: And in your last issue of New Avengers, you dropped a pretty big hint that you and Mike Deodato might be working on a Heroes for Hire book at some point in the future.
Bendis: I have a take, and it's not Heroes for Hire exactly. As Luke says in there, it's a new take on it. I hit Mike with it, and Mike's like, "I'm all in." I'm going to the Marvel retreat in February, I'm going to try to lock that puppy down. I feel the only thing standing in my way is the success of All-New X-Men. This happened to me when I was on Avengers, too. It gets to a point where I can tell they would rather I just write All-New X-Men. Or ask if there's any way I could do it in X-Men. [Laughs.] And I completely understand it, but we'll have to figure it out.
Nrama: If you actually did make Luke Cage an X-Man, the reaction to that would be amazing.
Bendis: Even before people wrote that joke online, I wanted Luke and Jessica and the baby to move in, because the baby's like, the first new mutant, and they just have to live there until the baby's not a baby anymore. I wanted to do it, just so people would go, "Oh come on, I can't believe it!" I rose above it.
We never get a really good look at the baby, and then I wanted to pull the baby in and it looks like Baby Cable.
Nrama: Glowing eye?
Bendis: Yeah, a glowing eye and a big metal arm.Guardians of the
Galaxy #2 cover.Nrama: Then next month, Guardians of the Galaxy debuts with the #0.1 issue.
Bendis: Guardians of the Galaxy is a very, very big deal for me, and for Steve McNiven. Very, very excited it's coming out, and we've already heard some pretty good news about how it's doing. That's great, because it's gorgeous.
It's a very unique experience of writing the comic while the movie is getting ready to go. Every day people hear something about the movie. That's very cool, because we've been helping with it secretly for years.
We're going to have a very big story. We're going to find out exactly why the Guardians of the Galaxy are going to be so Earth-focused over the next while. Some people know these characters very well, while others do not at all, so we're going to reintroduce the characters and let you know exactly what makes them tick, and why they're cool. For people who miss me on Avengers already, it's only been a few weeks, but for those who do, you can really look at this as the "Cosmic Avengers," with Tony Stark right there in front. For people who want to know what Tony is going to be doing there, and what connection they have to him, and what they have to us, you're going to find out all in the very first issue. We're hitting the ground running. This is anti-decompressed.
Nrama: Yeah, it doesn't hurt for promotion with movie casting reports out nearly daily.Bendis: A nice surprise. It wasn't fully planned this way, but it is cool that there's always some Guardians of the Galaxy news in the nerd press every day.
I'm not allowed to say anything specific — it's a great script. It really turned out great. James Gunn did a really great job. I read the last draft — "Oh please, don't suck, because I've already invested part of my life into this — and I was like, "Oh, this is great! This is going to be a lot of fun!"
A lot of the stuff that we're talking about that going on in X-Men, and what's going on in Age of Ultron, a lot of that is going to pull out right into Guardians of the Galaxy. A lot of things are happening on Earth that are very dangerous, and very scary, and certainly dangerous and scary to the cosmic civilization that we may or may not be part of yet. There's crazy sh*t going on on Earth, and it does have a butterfly effect. And that butterfly effect is going to hit in Guardians. Right away.
Nrama: And that's sort of the M.O. of the team?Bendis: Yes. We may be doing stuff to ourselves that we may need to be guarded from, and at the same time, we may accidentally be doing stuff to other people that may be coming to get us, and they will be guarding us from that, as well. And a lot of this is going to be laid out right away, in beautiful Steve McNiven, full-color gorgeousness.
Nrama: To wrap up, anything else you think readers should know about your current output?
Bendis: I think the one question people have about Guardians — people who love those characters love them so much, and the ones that don't are always a little trepidatious. The whole of Marvel is certainly making a concerted effort to open the horizons of the Marvel Universe. The Marvel Universe takes place on Earth, but there are all of these other things around us, and we're kind of bringing them in closer, just so there's more of a cause and effect. Guardians is going to be one of those books where there's a lot of what's happening in the Marvel Universe is happening in that book. A lot of big pieces moving around. There are some people who really like that. They want to know, "Where's the stuff happening?" Like New Avengers was, Guardians is going to be one of those books.When people see, pretty soon, the wild connection between All-New X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy, I think they're going to be like, "Oh, OK, I would have never imagined that." That's going to be the first hint of exactly what I'm talking about.
Nrama: So are there plans, either in Guardians or elsewhere, for the other big Marvel cosmic characters? Like, Silver Surfer or Gladiator?
Bendis: It certainly opens up the gate about who can come visit, and whatnot, and that is absolutely happening, including some brand-new characters that we're introducing in the first couple of issues.
It's going to be fun when Silver Surfer comes by, but you'd expect Silver Surfer to come by. But I think it's much more interesting [to see] what the cosmic reaction is to, "Oh, Jean Grey's alive? Well, we have something we'd like to talk about with her." Jean Grey is not the most beloved entity in all of the cosmos. Whatever space video is, we have footage of her eating a bunch of broccoli people. So we will be dealing with that immediately.More from Newsarama:

8 Ports 10 / 100 Mbps PoE + 8 Ports 10 / 100 Mbps + 2 10 / 100 / 1000BASE-T / SFP Combo Ports Unmanaged Switch
The D-Link® DES-1018P/DES-1018MP 18-Port Unmanaged Desktop PoE Switch enables users to easily connect and supply power to PoE-capable devices such as wireless Access Points (APs), IP cameras, and IP phones. The DES-1018P/DES-1018MP can also connect other Ethernet devices like computers, printers, and a Network Attached Storage (NAS) to fit into any type of network application.
Power Over Ethernet IEEE 802.3af
The DES-1018P/DES-1018MP features 8 or 16 ports (respectively) that support the IEEE 802.3af PoE protocol. Each of the PoE ports can supply up to 15.4 watts, with a total PoE budget of 80 watts (DES-1018P) or 246.4 watts (DES-1018MP), allowing users to attach an IEEE 802.3af-compliant device to the DES-1018P/DES-1018MP without requiring additional power. PoE is especially suitable for devices that are far from power outlets or when users want to minimize the clutter of extra cables as power is supplied via the Ethernet cables themselves.
Expand Your Network
The addition of two Gigabit combo uplink ports means businesses can increase their network bandwidth using the speed of Gigabit Ethernet while offering redundancy so voice and surveillance data are transferred reliably. The combo design can increase bandwidth by offering two Gigabit copper or fiber connections, giving administrators more options for expansion.
Cut Your Energy Costs
To help small businesses save on operating costs, the DES-1018P/DES-1018MP supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). This feature senses network traffic to automatically put ports that are not being used to sleep, powering them on only when they are required. The DES-1018MP also features a smart fan that automatically adjusts itself to reduce power consumption and noise whenever possible to conserve energy, so users can reinvest the cost savings back into their business.*
Hassle-Free Setup
The DES-1018P/DES-1018MP is a Plug-and-Play device that requires no configuration, so setup is simple and hassle-free. Simply connect the switch to a network and then connect multiple omputers, share files, and make Voiceover-IP calls across the network. Support for Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables when connecting to another switch or hub. Auto-Negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10 or 100) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. Combining the convenience of PoE, fast performance, reliability, and ease of use, the 18-Port Unmanaged Desktop PoE Switch is the ideal choice for adding PoE devices to a network.
* Energy savings from IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) are dependent on actual usage scenarios.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.— The Sacred Heart men's hockey team fell to fifth ranked Notre Dame 3-1 in the series finale on Friday night. The Fighting Irish (3-2-1) worked a 43-25 shot advantage over the Pioneers (2-3) to earn the series split at Compton Family Ice Arena.
Sophomore Austin McIlmurray recorded his third goal of the season for SHU. Junior Stephen Hladin registered his second assist and sophomore Ruslan Rakhmatov picked up the helper for the third straight game.
The Sacred Heart penalty kill went 4-4 on the night to hold the top-ranked Fighting Irish power play unit (43.8%) scoreless on the man advantage for the first time all season. Senior Nathan Perry made a career-high 40 saves in goal for the Pioneers including a clean sheet in the final period.
Turning Point…
Notre Dame got off to the early lead once again, scoring in the first five minutes of the period. The Fighting Irish added two more in the second half of the middle frame to take a 3-0 lead. After just eight shots through the first two periods, the Sacred Heart offense went to work firing 17 shots in the final period.
McImurray got the Pioneers on the board on the assists by Rakhmatov & Hladin as SHU worked the puck off the power play. Sacred Heart looked to answer late in the period with the extra attacker opportunity. Cale Morris made several big stops to hold SHU to just one goal.
How They Scored...
3:51 – 1st Period – Notre Dame 1, SHU 0: Joe Wegwerth drove the pass from Jordan Gross down the right side, muscling his way to the net and stuffing the puck past perry for the early Irish score.
12:54 – 2nd Period – Notre Dame 2, SHU 0: Jack Jenkins spinned through on the Pioneers zone off the feed from Dawson Cook. Jenkins sent the no-look pass from the left circle into the slot with Cook deflecting the puck to the back-left post for the second score.
16:27 – 2nd Period – Notre Dame 3, SHU 0: Off the power play kill by Sacred Heart. Andrew Peeke fired the slapshot from the point, Perry made the stop but was out of the crease to the left side giving Colin Theisen the open rebound chance that was deflected in by Wegwerth for his second goal of the night.
08:31 – 3rd Period – Notre Dame 3, SHU 1. The Pioneers earned the favor of a few Irish penalties in the third period. SHU worked the puck up at the point in the Irish zone as the man advantage wrapped up. Hladin worked the puck from the right side to Rakhmatov in the middle who then fed McIlmurray the one-timer from the left side for the goal.
Key Stats & Notes
- The Pioneers hold a +4-scoring margin (7-3) in the third period.
- Perry's 40 saves set a new career best after registering 39 saves twice (at RIT, at Air Force) last season.
- Rakhmatov is the first Pioneer this season to record a point in three straight contests.
Up Next…
The Pioneers shift focus to Atlantic Hockey play with a return to Webster Bank Arena for a four-game homestand. SHU opens conference play with a two-game series with Niagara beginning Friday, October 27 at 7:05 pm.

Macedonian Air Brigade history
Seven months after Macedonia declared its independence from Yugoslavia, the Army of the Republic of Macedonia (ARM) was established on April 10, 1992. The development of the Macedonian Air Force and Air Defence Forces started from scratch because the former Yugoslav Army had taken all the weapons and equipment which Macedonia had accumulated, including 35 aircraft like the J-22 Orao and J-21 Jastreb.
On June 10, the first air force (officially named the Aviation Brigade of the Army of the Republic of Macedonia) flight took place using a UTVA 75A 21 basic training and utility aircraft that was leased from the Macedonian Aeronautical Union. Because of this historic fact, this date is now celebrated as the Day of the Air Force.
We spoke to Colonel Robert Malezanski, commander of the air force brigade. He has flown Mig-21 and Super Galeb before returning to Macedonia to be an instructor on the Zlin 242. He tells us about the history of the squadron: "The air force was formed with a combat helicopter squadron, a transport helicopter squadron and an aviation squadron for fixed wing. The first helicopters, Mi-17 were bought in 1994. They were white ones because, at that time, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) imposed an embargo from purchasing weapons and military equipment. But because the Mi-17 is the civilian version of the Mi-8, they could be purchased." The embargo was lifted in 1995, and the white Mi-17s were painted in their distinguishable camouflage patterns and were provided with military serial numbers.
In February 2001, a militant group called the Albanian National Liberation Army (NLA) began attacking the security forces of the Republic of Macedonia. In order to increase its capabilities during this conflict, the air force fleet was substantially expanded in a short amount of time.
The first big-quantity delivery of new aircraft to the Macedonian Air Warfare and Air Defence Forces was made on March 23. That day, Ukraine donated four Mi-8MT combat helicopters, that served with Ukrainian contingent of KFOR to Macedonia, and as a part of old agreement delivered additional two Mi-24V Hind-E combat helicopters. Solidarity of Greece with the Macedonian Government was also shown that day with the delivery of two UH-1H Huey helicopters to the Macedonian Air Warfare and Air Defence Forces. Later that year eight more Mi-24's followed from Ukraine. In December 2001, the Macedonian Air Force received two Mi-24K Hind-G2 (photo-reconnaissance and artillery spotting version of the Mi-24) helicopters from Ukraine.
The Ohrid Framework Agreement, which was signed on 13 August 2001, made an official end to the armed conflict. In the succeeding years, the Air Brigade was reorganized. The former Greek UH-1s were taken out of service. One of the helicopters was flown to Greece for a major overhaul but is stored at Stefanovikio in Greece due to financial restraints. The other aircraft has been stored at Skopje Air Base for several years now.

It had been years since I had visited and I was super pumped to have an SF local show me around! It was basically four days of coffee shop hopping and adventures, but I brought my camera along to document the trip! Hope you enjoy :-)

They say it's not what you know in life, but who you know.
It might seem strangely ironic coming from a University student, but the greatest thing I've learned so far is the truth of this statement!
Reading Richard's recent post 'Friends will be Friends' really got me thinking.
You see, like my fellow blogger, I had never really 'met' anyone who was not British before. Sure, I had been on holiday to foreign lands. But all the friends I had ever had were British. It seemed likely to continue that way for ever.
Yet, one of the best things about University for me has been meeting new people, people who in my average life I would never have had reason to meet. By joining societies, learning a new language and participating in extracurricular activities, I now have friends from far-flung corners of my own country, as well as a variety of places in Europe, Africa and Asia.
People will tell you that University is all about studying, gaining 'life skills' or just getting the certificate to improve your prospects of employment. Certainly these were the main reasons in my mind when I convinced myself to give a University degree a second chance. In fact, they're all good things about University.
But if you look a little deeper, you start to realise that University provides a meeting ground for a wide range of individuals, with different backgrounds, beliefs and abilities. If you make the effort to join a society, take up a sport or learn a language, you will find that you encounter an amazing array of new people. People who, under normal circumstances, you may never have met.
In the future, the friends I have made here will allow me to have new experiences, visit new places, and learn new things. I've really enjoyed studying the Americas in my course. But the best thing I will take away with me will be the friends I have made, the happy memories they have provided, and some fantastic opportunities for the future.

From the NZDA Code of Practice
Studies have shown that medical emergencies do occur in the dental practice. Dental practitioners and their staff need to have appropriate skills, training and equipment available to deal with potentially life threatening conditions.
Dental Professionals must have completed training to a level equivalent to the NZRC Certificate of Resuscitation and Emergency Care (CORE) Level 4. CORE 4 is also suitable for dental surgery and receptionists for whom the CORE 4 final practical and written assessments are optional. This training must be revalidated every four years.
Up-to-date drugs and equipment, as listed in this code, must be operational and readily available in all dental practices.
Who should attend?
All staff in the dental practice should have appropriate training: dental practitioners, Level 4 New Zealand Resuscitation Council Certificate of Resuscitation and Emergency Care (CORE) or equivalent; dental surgery assistants, reception and other
staff, attendance at a Level 4 course with optional assessment of practical and theoretical skills.
Those not completing formal assessment will require an NZRC letter of attendance. A team approach to management of medical emergencies should be developed. Protocols should be in place so that all staff members know their role in managing emergency situations. The dental team should regularly practice scenarios within the dental practice setting.

This was featured on styleathome.com. I just love the mix of patterns here. And the artwork adds a sense of depth to the space. Be sure to check out the article by Lauren Flanagan featuring contributing design editor Christine Hanlon's take on Global Style.
I love the pop of pink in this neutral room of gray and taupe. This room, featured in High Gloss Magazine, shows how a bold pattern can bring a space to life! Love the portfolio of Armonia Decors, something I am sure you will enjoy yourselves. And if you haven't seen the online addition of High Gloss Magazine yet, put it on your "to do list" today.
What's not to love!! This chair makes a statement showing off it's large scale print.
This bedroom designed by Tami Risinger was featured in At Home Arkasas. I love the large scale floral pattern on the shams!

The authorized life of Ronald Reagan written by America's most innovative and Pulitzer Prize-winning political biographer. This unprecedented book breaks through all conventional definitions of biography.
The authorized life of Ronald Reagan written by America's most innovative and Pulitzer Prize-winning political biographer. This unprecedented book breaks through all conventional definitions of biography.
`Poor dear. There's nothing between his ears.' So Margaret Thatcher described Ronald Reagan. But the Iron Lady, when in the `poor dear's' presence, giggled like a schoolgirl. `One could not talk to him for more than a few minutes without being aware of the ordinariness of his mind,' says Helmut Schmidt. But Mikhail Gorbachev, deconstructor of communism, is now despised by his people, while the most popular boys' name in the former USSR is Ronald. Indisputably Ronald Reagan the everyday person was opaque, pedestrian, ignorant, a hollow man - now incapacitated by Alzheimers. Yet, as President-Governor-Actor-Announcer - Lifeguard Ronald Reagan became a creature of the American folk imagination with the power to tap into vast resources of nostalgia in the American people. He is a myth; the sum total of all American fantasies. It is this Reagan that is the subject of Edmund Morris's book. Morris has been working on the authorized biography of Ronald Reagan since 1985. He has become intimate with Reagan himself, Nancy and their children, and has had unrestricted access to all Reagan's private papers. This would be enough to ensure a significant and lasting biography of this extraordinary American. However, Morris combines these benefits with enormous powers of scholarship and a literary imagination beyond compare. The result is a book truly revolutionary in form. Reagan's biography is written with a biographical doppelganger following Reagan through each phase of his life, showing how the life of Reagan integrates with his times, and explaining the great and so-far elusive mystery of the extraordinarily potent link between Reagan and the American people. This book succeeds in making literature out of the life of America's Actor-President. There has been nothing like it before.
Edmund Morris is one of America's best political biographers and journalists. He is the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. He lives in New York and Washington, DC.

Historic Victory: Saints Sweep A Season Series For First Time In Franchise History, Win 3-2 Over WingnutsST. PAUL, MN July 26, 2018
The St. Paul Saints began their first season in 1993. In their first 25 seasons they never swept a season series from a team in which they played both a home and road series during the year. That changed on Thursday night at CHS Field in front of 8,999. The Saints won a tightly contested contest 3-2 over the Wichita Wingnuts and took all five games from their South Division opponents on the year. The win improves the Saints to 35-28 and they are now tied for first place with the Gary SouthShore Railcats.
Once again it was the pitching that led the way for the Saints as starter Chris Nunn was solid and got help from the bullpen when he needed it. With one out in the first Nunn walked back-to-back hitters, but got Tony Thomas to fly out and John Nester to strike out to end the inning.
In the third, with the Saints leading 1-0, Nunn gave up back-to-back singles to Zach Nehrir and Logan Watkins to start the inning. The Wingnuts attempted a double steal, but catcher Justin O'Conner threw out Nehrir at third. Nunn then got Abel Nieves to fly out and struck out Thomas to end the inning.
Nunn retired 10 in a row from the third until two outs in the sixth when he gave up a single to Thomas, but he retired Nester on a ground out to end the inning.
In the seventh, with the Saints up 3-0, Logan Trowbridge led off with a single to right. With one out Leo Vargas doubled Trowbridge to third. That was the night for Nunn and he gave way to Mike Devine. Devine gave up two unlucky hits, first a bloop single down the right field line to Nick Rotola that scored Trowbridge making it 3-1. Then Nehrir hit a 10-foot dribbler up the third base line for a single that scored Vargas to make it 3-2. The Saints brought in left-hander Ken Frosch to face the lefty Watkins. Frosch got him to fly out to center on the first pitch. Frosch extended his scoreless streak for the entire season to 26.0 innings, second longest in franchise history behind Caleb Thielbar's 29.2 in 2011. Beck Wheeler got the final out of the inning when he struck out Nieves. Nunn went 6.1 innings allowing two runs on six hits while walking two and striking out five.
Wheeler pitched the eighth and, with one out, Nester reached on a throwing error by shortstop Anthony Phillips. Trowbridge singled to left putting runners at first and second, but Wheeler fanned the final two batters. Wheeler went 1.1 shutout innings and all four outs were recorded via the strikeout.
Zack Jones came on in the ninth and pitched a perfect inning while striking out two to record his fourth save of the season.
The Saints offense did just enough for the victory and scored in the first. Max Murphy extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a leadoff single to left. He stole second and scored on a double by Brady Shoemaker to make it 1-0 Saints.
In the third they loaded the bases with nobody out on three straight singles by Shoemaker, Zach Walters and Dante Bichette Jr. They managed only one run, however, on a groundout by Matt Snyder to make it 2-0.
In the fifth Walters led off with as single to right. Bichette Jr. reached on a throwing error by Trowbridge at third that sent Walters to third. With one out O'Conner made it 3-0 with a sacrifice fly.
The Saints welcome in the Texas AirHogs to CHS Field on Friday night for a three-game series beginning at 7:05 p.m. The Saints send RHP Trevor Foss (1-2, 3.92). It is Xcel Energy Friday Night Fireworks featuring the music of Hip Hop Club Bangers. The game can be seen on the Saints Cable Network, cable access channels in and around the Twin Cities, and heard on Alt 93.3 FM.

Day 2 and 3 of the GRI conference where two days full of individual sessions about specific topics ranging from UNGC and the GRI to XBRL and Sustainability reporting and a plenary session to wrap it up. We as participants where able to pick and choose sessions we where most interested in. A really good plan after a long day of plenary presentations on Day 1. Identifying key themes was therefore quite difficult but I picked up three different themes during these two days that I wanted to share with everyone.
Key themes I came across on day 2 and 3 of the conference:
- Stakeholder Engagement especially using Social Media is a difficult thing to get right. This became very clear during the session about the future of stakeholder engagement using interactive technology on Day 2. Here some participants and panelists including Joe Confino from the Guardian Newspaper, Martin Smith from JustMeans went head to head with the SAP representative on the question whether the latest SAP report was a step in the right direction for promote stakeholder engagement. A very heated but really interesting discussion. SAP was not on the panel but Jo Confino picked their latest report to show that sophisticated Sustainability reporting is not aways easy to do. I do not agree with Joe but he made some interesting points and so did the SAP representative. All in all proper stakeholder engagement.
- Integrated reporting was also the topic over the last two days. I did not attend any sessions specifically about this but speaking to many people about the announcement of the GRI to fully support the adoption of integrated reporting it is very clear that the adoption of integrated reporting will be the next big goal of governance bodies and think tanks in this field. But I also got the feeling that financial and non financial accounting are very likely to be 'forced' to work together. I am still highly skeptical about the usefulness of integrated reporting but I am happy to be convinced that this is the way to go for the future.
- The future is in our hands and the GRI needs to play a role in shaping this future. The plenary session to end the conference really asked the right question. Where do we go from here? The aspects that where covered where pretty different as there was a good range of speakers but the overall message was that we need to do something now and not wait any longer. And the GRI and the aspect of integrated reporting are playing a crucial role in this.
Another big event here was the GRI Readers Choice (RCA) Awards and they are all from Brazil! Yes you read right… all from Brazil.
These are the winners of the RCA Awards:
- The RCA Most Effective Report Award winner is Banco Bradesco
- The RCA Investor Award winner is Banco do Brasil
- RCA Best Overall Report Award is Banco do Brasil
- The RCA Value Chain Award is won by Natura Cosmeticos from Brayil
- The RCA civil society award goes to Vale from (what a surprise) from Brazil!
In Summary:
All in all this was a very interesting conference. I am feeling very fortunate to be able to spend my day networking, discussing and learning more about Sustainability and CSR topics. And this is what a conference should be. For me it was about getting into detail on some of the topics such as XBRL, Social Media and this is what the conference was able to provide. Looking forward to the next one in 2011!

Geeks Paradise
Monday, June 18, 2007
I hate to admit it but my Panget - well, he's sort of a geek. A toy and comics geek. I accompany him every weekend to buy his week's loot of comics and toys in Greenhills. And since we got together, we have been attending this event every year.
Upon stepping on the 5th floor of Megamall - there were so many people dressed like Anime characters! Amazing - they were really into this dressing up as Anime! As I patiently waited for my Panget to do his rounds - I excused myself to go to the restroom. I was shocked because - well, there were teeners there accompanied by their moms - helping them dress up and put on make-up! Wow, talk about dedication and support!

Guest post written by Alex Blau
Alex Blau is medical director at Doximity, an online network for physicians.
It's one of the less pleasant healthcare trends of 2011: information is becoming less secure while enforcement is growing more stringent.
According to a recent Ponemon research study, data breaches alone have risen by 32%. Ninety-two percent of all healthcare institutions report they've experienced one in the past two years, and each such incident costs an average of $2.2 million. At the same time, the Department of Health and Human Services recently began conducting formal audits of HIPAA-compliance, with accompanying risk of civil and even criminal penalties. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has announced a "ban" on physician texting, stating that SMS is not an acceptable method of communicating patient information.
In step with these developments, 2011 was a banner year for HIPAA crackdowns. Over the past months, we've seen an increasing number of high-profile individual and institutional violations, each of which has brought growing public and government attention to the issue. Here, just a sampling of the stories making headlines over the past months:
In short, we're seeing an urgent need for HIPAA-secure messaging. Fax and pager technology have been the staples of safe physician communication for decades, but they are also clunky, inconvenient and feature-poor. Moreover, they're increasingly outmoded. Some enterprise solutions have cropped up, but are so far limited by dedicated hardware requirements, costly and cumbersome implementations, and a restricted ability to communicate across institutional boundaries.
As physicians, we are in dire need of a secure, fast, and convenient way to discuss and coordinate patient care. Here's to making password-protected, end-to-end encrypted HIPAA-secure communication services a key part of healthcare in 2012.

Microsoft was forced to pull the Windows RT 8.1 update late last week after users started complaining about their Surface RT tablets being bricked. Something in the update was rendering the Windows tablets unbootable, and Microsoft was left scratching its head and scrambling to fix the issue as quickly as possible.
The problem now seems to have been solved as Microsoft has released a Windows RT 8.1 recovery image. The problem is, as well as being a rather large 3.7GB download, the recovery process isn't exactly simple.
Alongside the recovery image download there's a 2-page 400k PDF with instructions on what you need to do to get your tablet working again. First up you need a USB drive with over 4GB of capacity and a PC running Windows 7 or later. You then have to format the USB drive with a FAT32 file system and then copy the recovery image you just downloaded to it.
With the recovery USB drive now created, you need to power down your Surface RT if it isn't off already. Then:
- Insert the USB recovery drive into the USB port
- Press and hold the volume-down (–) rocker
- Press and release the power button
- When the Surface logo appears, release the volume rocker
After that your tablet should load the recovery software from the USB drive. This is where the instructions Microsoft provides are essential. The recovery process involves typing in commands at the command prompt, restarting the tablet, and then typing in more commands at the command prompt while in administrator mode.
If you follow the instructions to the letter, by the end you should have a fully functioning Surface RT tablet again without any data lost, only now running Windows RT 8.1.
After reading through the PDF and the steps involved, I'd suggest anyone preparing to perform the recovery procedure go make themselves a very large coffee first.

First dates are nerve-wracking and quite honestly a lot of work. Not only do you have to look good, hide all your imperfections so as not to scare the other person away, but you also have to figure out where to go.
I believe that whether a date is considered a success or a failure depends on the choice of location and activity. How much money you spend has nothing to do with it. You can pay for a fancy dinner at a fancy 5-star hotel but if the person is not feeling you, there won't be a second date unless they are with you just for the money.
This means that you need to be smart about your choices especially if you are serious about this person. There are some first date ideas that you should never consider because they are a recipe for disaster you can see some of them in this article.
Read Also: 5 Terrible Places To Go On A First Date
So What Are Some Of The Best Date Ideas You Should Consider?
1. Go Bike Riding
One great way to get to know someone and have fun is to go bike riding. This is a fun idea because not only do you get to work out but you also get to spend a lot more time together without it getting awkward.
This also doesn't put too much strain on the conversation bit, you should talk but it's not the only thing you will be doing.
2. Visit A Park
Luckily for us, we live in a country with so many beautiful game parks and reserves. Visiting a game park where you get to see beautiful wildlife is also a very good idea for a first date. It keeps things light and makes the date very memorable and contrary to popular belief it is not that expensive.
The good thing about a date at the park is you will always have something meaningful to talk about which is always a plus. You will also get to learn a lot about the person.
3. Attend A Play
Another great idea for a first date could be going to watch a play. There are so many live screening of plays every week that you can choose from. This is however not for everyone, therefore, ensure that the person you are taking will like it.
Unlike going to watch a movie, the theatre is more engaging and at the end of it, you can have deep discussions on the overall message. Just ensure you pick a funny show as opposed to a sad one. That way the person you take will associate the date with laughter which means your chances of getting a second one go up. This is also a great way to promote the local theatres.
4. Get Coffee
I add this with a lot caution because if you are not careful it can end very badly. If you do decide to go for this option then ensure that the place you pick is interesting and be prepared to fill any conversation gaps that creep up.
If you are lucky and the person you are taking out is great at making conversation then a coffee date could be a great way to get to know each other.

Honestly, you just need to ensure that the place you choose is fun and won't allow for awkwardness to set in. This way when the date is over you both had so much fun that you are willing to meet up again. You need to put some thought into the place you choose because.
This list is not comprehensive and there are so many more places to choose from that are both pocket-friendly and fun you.

Half Truths & Globalist Bias of The NY Times Front Page Headlines
"We read and rebut their vile crap so you won't have to!"
A sweeping new government crackdown on lawyers demonstrates how far China is from any reasonable
understanding, or practice, of the rule of law.
Analysis: Note the deceptive use of the term "in what
some call". In reality, the "some" amounts to that pathetic little weasel Andrew Rosenthal playing the role
of the mighty 'Wizard of Oz' from high atop the "Gray Lady" on 8th Avenue in Marxist Manhattan.
Be neither afraid nor impressed by all the smoke
and noise. It's only a pathetic little word-smith typing out lies from behind the curtain.
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board: While the government has accused the lawyers of exploiting legal cases to enrich themselves
and subverting the party...
This phrase pays 'Straw Man' lip service to the Chinese version of events. The other shoe is about to drop.
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board: ... the crackdown is undoubtedly intended to crush the "rights defense" movement,
which aims to defend the rights of individuals in a legal system rife with corruption and abuse.
Analysis: The buzzword here is "rights".
We are left to assume that innocent people are being arrested and tried. What
evidence does Rosenthal, The Board produce to show that the individuals accused of corruption or treason
are being "abused" or falsely charged? Answer: None!
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board: A
major target of the crackdown has been the Fengrui Law Firm in Beijing, which has represented the dissident artist Ai Weiwei;
Ilham Tohti, a Uighur academic sentenced to life in prison last year...
Analysis: The two obvious buzzwords here are "dissident" and "Uighur"
-- the former being a high-sounding name for a CIA-NGO trouble-making rat; and the latter referring to a semi-autonomous Muslim
region of China that the CIA wants to split away from China by carrying out terror attacks and staging a "color revolution".
Rosenthal, The
Editorial Board: ... and Cao Shunli, a human rights campaigner who
died while in police custody last year.
"Human rights campaigner" -- you know the routine.
1- CIA mercenary "Islamic" terrorists
praise the recent Uighur terrorist attacks against China and pledge solidarity with the "oppressed" Uighurs.
2- In U.S.-occupied Japan, "spontaneous" anti-China
protests are staged by CIA Uighurs with professionally-made English language signs
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board: The assault on lawyers comes against a backdrop of ever tightening government control
under Mr. Xi (China's leader).
"the assault on lawyers", eh? -- Bring some of that "assault" to overly litigious
America! The important thing to understand is that these aren't just any lawyers. They are the Chinese equivalent of ACLU
subversives who work to defend the bought-and-paid-for CIA scum of China.
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board:
And yet the number of Chinese lawyers willing to risk their lives and freedom to take on politically sensitive
cases has grown...
Analysis: Say what??? This idiotic statement clearly
contradicts the image of a brutally repressive China. If their "lives and freedom" were in such danger, there would
be less of these lawyers, not more!
Rosenthal, The Editorial
Board: ... and the concept of public interest law has begun to take hold in the areas of labor and the environment
as well as criminal justice and human rights.
Analysis: More liberal / Globalist
Buzzwords: "Public Interest Law"
- "Labor" - "Environment" - "Criminal Justice" - "Human Rights".
In other words, a "progressive" plague of liberal legal locusts has been spreading across "repressive"
China and boss man Xi ain't puttin' it up with. Good for Xi!
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board: This may be a result
of more Chinese lawyers being trained abroad, including in the United States.
Analysis: Ah! The
penny drops! Many of these lawyers have been trained (and recruited) in the USA. Thanks for that inadvertently-dropped
gem of truth, Andy - Editorial Board.
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board:
"They want to elevate their status from functionaries to professionals," says Michael Posner, the Assistant
Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor from 2009 to 2013. "There clearly is a big appetite among
many in the rapidly growing legal profession in China to be part of the larger legal world."
We at The Board of the Anti-New York Times Mike & Sugar never even knew
that such a U.S. government position even existed -- Assistant
Secretary of State for Democracy (buzz word), Human Rights (buzz word) and Labor (buzz
word) --. And of course, a Chicago-born New York Tribesman held the position for four years. (surprise, surprise)
The Editorial Board: Thirteen former heads of the Hong Kong Bar Association have started a petition calling on
Beijing to halt the "unlawful or arbitrary" persecution of the lawyers.
Analysis: As
for the "Hong
Kong Bar Association"; having only been ceded to Chinese sovereignty about 20 years ago, formerly British-ruled
Hong Kong came to China as a CIA-infested Trojan Horse.
to the disappointment of Assistant Secretary Posner, the CIA, Sulzberger's Slimes and some of the seditious scum at the Hong
Kong Bar Association, Hong Kong's corny "Umbrella Revolution" fizzled out.
The Editorial Board: Human rights experts at the United Nations have also condemned the crackdown.
Condemnation from the U.N.? Good on you, China! Evidently, China does not see the need to be inundated with greedy
legal shysters of every speciality; especially ones contaminated in or controlled by the Globalist U.S. and its NGO's and/or
The Editorial Board: Mr. Xi seems to think it's possible to focus China on economic reform only, while keeping
a tight grip on lawyers, activists and others who want to liberalize the political environment.
Analysis: Buss
words: "activists" and "liberalize". Frankly, General Secretary Xi is being too lenient by only dishing
out jail sentences. We at The Board of the Anti-New
York Times Mike & Sugar would prefer to see the Globalist mole-traitors of China executed for high treason,
but that's China's business.
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board: But international businesses generally prefer
investing in countries that offer stability and predictability made possible by the rule of law.
Analysis: Unfortunately,
many big investors read Sulzberger's Slimes. This sentence confirms that the journalistic bashing of target nations is intended
to discourage investment in them. It hasn't been working.
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board: In China's
case, they have often been willing to ignore the widespread corruption and a largely dysfunctional legal system because the
potential economic gains were enormous. With the collapse of China's stock market, slowing growth and rising wages,
that calculus may shift as places like Vietnam and even Myanmar look more attractive.
Analysis: Keep
dreaming Andy. Investors will always flock to a business-friendly climate, in spite of "chinks"
in China's armor. (I couldn't resist that one.)
Rosenthal, The Editorial Board: At some point, China's
leaders are going to have to modernize and institute a fairer, more predictable legal system in line with international
norms if they want their country to grow and credibly lead the world.
Analysis: China seems to be growing
and leading quite well without heeding the "advice" of the Weasel of Oz. Worry about the dying nation of America,
Andy. But then again, the death of America is what you and your gang wanted all along, eh Andy?
Sorry, Andy!
Legendary investors Jimmy Rogers, Peter Schiff and Mark Faber: all STILL bullish on China.
"History is indeed little more than the
register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind."
Edward Gibbon, English historian (1737-1794),

The scenario is all too common: You're driving along the Interstate minding your own business, a muddy gravel truck pulls in front of you and moments later a stone comes smacking against your windshield, leaving a whitened, pitted scar.
But wait, there's still hope! Often, a simple repair to stone damage will prevent the wound from sprawling across the windshield, into your field of vision, and way into your wallet. To increase your chances that your damaged windshield might be repaired rather than replaced, consider the following guidelines:
If you can cover it with a quarter, it might be repairable. As a general guideline, smaller pits (less than an inch in diameter that don't go too deep) can usually be repaired with a resin-based material professionally injected into the damaged area (as long as they're not in the driver's line of sight). The new material is then often cured through a process involving exposure to high-intensity ultraviolet light. Sometimes longer cracks can be repairs, provided they don't meet the edge of the windshield in more than one place.
Limit your driving. Try to drive as little as possible before you take your vehicle to a glass shop for an inspection. Vibration and temperature changes can quickly cause small cracks or pits to sprawl out over the whole windshield.
Prevent the damage from contamination. Lightly apply a piece of transparent cellophane tape or packing tape over the impact point to prevent dirt and debris from getting into the pit.
Do not touch the damage. Besides being sharp, oils from your skin will reduce the effectiveness of a repair, and the slightest touch might cause a crack to expand.
Don't slam your doors, the trunk, or the hatch firmly. The vacuum inside the car creates a sudden stress on the windshield's seal. Keeping one window slightly cracked will avoid this stress.
Temperature changes might make the damage worse. Avoid getting the glass wet if possible, and try not to run the defroster. Either of these might encourage cracking due to the temperature differences on either side of the glass. Avoid parking in direct sunlight for the same reason -- consider parking in a garage until you get it repaired.
You know how to keep the damage under control. Now here's what to do:
Bring the windshield to a glass shop as soon as possible. Windshield repair is not for novices, and only a reputable professional automotive glass shop (or sometimes your dealership) can tell you if your windshield can be repaired or if it must be replaced. Ask your regular mechanic for a recommendation.
Do-it-yourself doesn't work on windshields. You might be tempted by the cheap fix-it kits available at auto-parts stores and department stores. These often usually include a resin compound that bonds with the glass, and a small syringe-suction-cup contraption to inject the compound into the damaged area. The material in these often yellows with time and weakens. These kits often yield undesirable results, and once they've been used the windshield can no longer be professionally fixed. Save money, and preserve your safety.
Then there's the safety aspect. Windshields are functional members of modern unit-body automobiles, providing stiffness, rigidity, and crash protection for the body. Most front airbags are designed to work with the original windshield seal. If a windshield has been replaced and the seal has been broken, then the airbag might no longer be optimized for a deployment. If minor, small windshield damage is fixed early, then there is often no breach in the seal and the windshield suffers no reduction in strength.
Use OE-approved glass. Finally, if you must replace the windshield, it's of utmost importance that you request the use of original-equipment quality glass. Many glass shops now offer budget-priced glass made in China that does not necessarily have the strength of the original windshield.
The bottom line is that catching and repairing windshield damage when it happens -- and having it fixed while it's still small-can save you hundreds of dollars. Fix it now before it costs many times as much.

Dyeing Techniques
The cold-dipping method creates subtle, translucent shades, but may
result in uneven coloring unless the eggs are rotated vigilantly. For
the cold-dipping, the eggs and ingredients are boiled separately.
After the dye has cooled and been strained, immerse the eggs for 5 to
10 minutes and pat dry with a paper towel.
Cooks Every Egg
To Perfection
The boiling technique involves boiling the eggs in the dye; as the
egg heats and rolls in the boiling water, a more uniform and intense
color is produced. To dye 8 eggs with the boiling technique, use 2
tablespoons of vinegar per quart of water. Place eggs in pot
and cover with 1 inch of water. Add natural dye ingredients, bring to
a rolling boil, and reduce to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse with
lukewarm water.
Natural dyes create beautiful effects, but may not be suitable for
eating. Use for decoration only.

If you're feeling overwhelmed because you have too much to do, it's time to learn how to manage time effectively! These time management tips are for people who are so stressed, swamped and overwhelmed that they can't seem to accomplish anything at all.
Believe it or not, it's possible to get more done by doing less — and that's what these tips are all about.
Before the tips, a quip:
"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials." ~ Lin Yu Tang.
Life is full of demands, distractions, and deadlines; some are legitimate and some contrived. It's easy to get so caught up in the dizzying list of things we think we should be doing that we lose sight of what's really important. If you feel like you've lost focus in your busy world, read The Importance Of Living by Lin Yu Tang.
And, here are five time management tips to help with feelings of stress and being overwhelmed…
How to Manage Time Effectively When You Feel Overwhelmed
A growing number of people are recognizing the benefits of stepping off the treadmill in favor of a simpler life. In addition to the obvious benefits of living a calmer, healthier, less stressful, and more peaceful life, many have been amazed to find that by doing less they truly are able to accomplish more.
The following tips don't just help when you feel overwhelmed because you have too much to do. They'll help you simplify your life and manage your time so you can effectively accomplish things that are really important to you.
1. Set clear goals. It's impossible to ensure that you'll reach your destination if you don't know where you want to go. The first, and most important, step in simplifying your life and getting more done is deciding what's truly important to you. Once you're clear on your values and goals, deciding how to allocate your time and other resources becomes much easier.
2. Learn to let go of what's not important. Keep in mind that most tasks can be delegated, deferred, or dropped altogether – especially if you're feeling overwhelmed because you have too much to do! Letting go of those things that don't support your goals, or that aren't otherwise necessary to support you and your loved ones, frees time and energy to focus on those things and people that matter most. To manage your time effectively, you need to prioritize and make choices.
3. Take microsteps. It's so easy to become overwhelmed by the enormity of a task when we look at the entire project all at once. Virtually any project can be broken down into smaller, more manageable, tasks. Rather than avoiding the entire project because it seems too big to handle, attack it in tiny steps, doing only as much as you can at any given time. Whether it's 5, 10, or 30 minutes at a time, little steps are much better than none. Once you get started, you may even find that the task isn't as bad as you thought and you may find that you're able to spend longer periods of time working on it. One of the best ways to manage time effectively is to do what you can, when you can. Congratulate yourself on your progress, knowing that you're moving closer to achieving your goals.
4. Follow your body's natural rhythms. Some people have more energy in the morning. Some prefer to burn the midnight oil. Figure out your own body's biorythms. When do you have the most energy for physical work? When is your mind most clear? Rather than fighting your natural rhythms by focusing on the clock, go with the flow. When you're feeling overwhelmed, plan the activities of your day so that they align with your energy peaks and valleys.
5. Focus on one project at a time. Everyone has normal, run-of-the-mill activities of daily living that have to be done on a regular basis, like housecleaning and yard work. Then there are other projects that are infrequent and typically not fun, but nonetheless necessary, like preparing taxes each year or clearing out the attic. When we procrastinate on these types of projects, they tend to consume a lot of emotional energy. We often give ourself frequent reminders that they need to be done, and then beat ourselves up for not doing them. Try to pick one of these projects to work on at a time. It could be the easiest one or the one that's crying out the loudest to be done. Once you pick it, stick with it, even if it's just one microstep at a time, until you get it done. Focusing on one project at a time builds momentum and creates a sense of accomplishment because you're achieving your goals!
If you've been living life in the fast lane for a while now, it may take a while to get used to cruising in the slow lane. However, once you do, you'll be so glad you did!
If you have any thoughts or questions on how to manage time effectively – especially if you're feeling overwhelmed – please comment below.

In the meantime, things worth noting:
- April snow froze my car shut this morning
- for those wondering about when it would happen, word of my departure has reached the students. It happened largely by accident. The first reveal was intentional - a student asked if I could be the faculty moderator for a student atheist group. The second was my slip-up in discussing an event being planned. And more recently, a candidate was brought in for my position, and the department took them to a restaurant where a number of our students work.
- Surprisingly, the stack of boxes in my office has yet to draw a single question.
- I came in 7 out of 63 and 9 out of 33 in my March Madness pools. Good enough for a little bragging, but no actual financial gain.
- I've recently watched Synecdoche, New York and Gran Torino, and loved them both for very different reasons. I strongly recommend both, but each with a warning: the first is not an easy film intellectually, the second is not an easy film in terms of cultural sensitivity.

Jimmy the Fingers – "I'm Only Breathing"
Saved the best post for last tonight! Today marks the release of Jimmy the Fingers' debut album "I'm Only Breathing" and it's a gooooood one my friends. The real problem comes in trying to describe it….hmmm! Imagine if you will, a pretend knife fight between Jimi Tenor and Jamie Lidell. Oh it may look and sound serious from a distance but when you look and listen closer you'll find the cheeky, talented brilliance of it all. Impeccable production throughout by my old amigo Darkhorse and topped off with a cover photo taken by yours truly (Redboy.) Anyways, don't take my word for it, have a listen to the album sampler below and then peep at Jimmy's video for "Grace" – shot entirely in one take, I might add. Enjoy!
Jimmy The Fingers – I'm Only Breathing by Three Sixty Records
Enjoy what you saw and heard? Then help support your starving artist friends and pick up the album on either iTunes or Amazon!
