Here's how to do it….guys, stop sucking at conversation. There's a reason why your discussions always bleed dry. There's a reason why you suck at talking to girls.
Learn this and apply this.
The excerpt below comes from a book published in 1875: A Gentleman's Guide to Etiquette by Cecil B. Hartley. Hartley's rules may be over 100 years old, but they're just as true today as they ever were. There are some real gems here.
1. Even if convinced that your opponent is utterly wrong, yield gracefully, decline further discussion, or dexterously turn the conversation, but do not obstinately defend your own opinion until you become angry…Many there are who, giving their opinion, not as an opinion but as a law, will defend their position by such phrases, as: "Well, if I were president, or governor, I would," — and while by the warmth of their argument they prove that they are utterly unable to govern their own temper, they will endeavor to persuade you that they are perfectly competent to take charge of the government of the nation.
2. Retain, if you will, a fixed political opinion, yet do not parade it upon all occasions, and, above all, do not endeavor to force others to agree with you. Listen calmly to their ideas upon the same subjects, and if you cannot agree, differ politely, and while your opponent may set you down as a bad politician, let him be obliged to admit that you are a gentleman.
3. Never interrupt anyone who is speaking; it is quite rude to officiously supply a name or date about which another hesitates, unless you are asked to do so. Another gross breach of etiquette is to anticipate the point of a story which another person is reciting, or to take it from his lips to finish it in your own language. Some persons plead as an excuse for this breach of etiquette, that the reciter was spoiling a good story by a bad manner, but this does not mend the matter. It is surely rude to give a man to understand that you do not consider him capable of finishing an anecdote that he has commenced.
4. It is ill-bred to put on an air of weariness during a long speech from another person, and quite as rude to look at a watch, read a letter, flirt the leaves of a book, or in any other action show that you are tired of the speaker or his subject.
5. In a general conversation, never speak when another person is speaking, and never try by raising your own voice to drown that of another. Never assume an air of haughtiness, or speak in a dictatorial manner; let your conversation be always amiable and frank, free from every affectation.
6. Never, unless you are requested to do so, speak of your own business or profession in society; to confine your conversation entirely to the subject or pursuit which is your own specialty is low-bred and vulgar. Make the subject for conversation suit the company in which you are placed. Joyous, light conversation will be at times as much out of place as a sermon would be at a dancing party. Let your conversation be grave or gay as suits the time or place.
7. In a dispute, if you cannot reconcile the parties, withdraw from them. You will surely make one enemy, perhaps two, by taking either side, in an argument when the speakers have lost their temper.
8. Never, during a general conversation, endeavor to concentrate the attention wholly upon yourself. It is quite as rude to enter into conversation with one of a group, and endeavor to draw him out of the circle of general conversation to talk with you alone.
9. A man of real intelligence and cultivated mind is generally modest. He may feel when in everyday society, that in intellectual acquirements he is above those around him; but he will not seek to make his companions feel their inferiority, nor try to display this advantage over them. He will discuss with frank simplicity the topics started by others, and endeavor to avoid starting such as they will not feel inclined to discuss. All that he says will be marked by politeness and deference to the feelings and opinions of others.
10. It is as great an accomplishment to listen with an air of interest and attention, as it is to speak well. To be a good listener is as indispensable as to be a good talker, and it is in the character of listener that you can most readily detect the man who is accustomed to good society.
11. Never listen to the conversation of two persons who have thus withdrawn from a group. If they are so near you that you cannot avoid hearing them, you may, with perfect propriety, change your seat.
12. Make your own share in conversation as modest and brief as is consistent with the subject under consideration, and avoid long speeches and tedious stories. If, however, another, particularly an old man, tells a long story, or one that is not new to you, listen respectfully until he has finished, before you speak again.
13. Speak of yourself but little. Your friends will find out your virtues without forcing you to tell them, and you may feel confident that it is equally unnecessary to expose your faults yourself.
14. If you submit to flattery, you must also submit to the imputation of folly and self-conceit.
15. In speaking of your friends, do not compare them, one with another. Speak of the merits of each one, but do not try to heighten the virtues of one by contrasting them with the vices of another.
16. Avoid, in conversation all subjects which can injure the absent. A gentleman will never calumniate or listen to calumny.
17. The wittiest man becomes tedious and ill-bred when he endeavors to engross entirely the attention of the company in which he should take a more modest part.
18. Avoid set phrases, and use quotations but rarely. They sometimes make a very piquant addition to conversation, but when they become a constant habit, they are exceedingly tedious, and in bad taste.
19. Avoid pedantry; it is a mark, not of intelligence, but stupidity.
20. Speak your own language correctly; at the same time do not be too great a stickler for formal correctness of phrases.
21. Never notice it if others make mistakes in language. To notice by word or look such errors in those around you is excessively ill-bred.
22. If you are a professional or scientific man, avoid the use of technical terms. They are in bad taste, because many will not understand them. If, however, you unconsciously use such a term or phrase, do not then commit the still greater error of explaining its meaning. No one will thank you for thus implying their ignorance.
23. In conversing with a foreigner who speaks imperfect English, listen with strict attention, yet do not supply a word, or phrase, if he hesitates. Above all, do not by a word or gesture show impatience if he makes pauses or blunders. If you understand his language, say so when you first speak to him; this is not making a display of your own knowledge, but is a kindness, as a foreigner will be pleased to hear and speak his own language when in a strange country.
24. Be careful in society never to play the part of buffoon, for you will soon become known as the "funny" man of the party, and no character is so perilous to your dignity as a gentleman. You lay yourself open to both censure and bad ridicule, and you may feel sure that, for every person who laughs with you, two are laughing at you, and for one who admires you, two will watch your antics with secret contempt.
25. Avoid boasting. To speak of your money, connections, or the luxuries at your command is in very bad taste. It is quite as ill-bred to boast of your intimacy with distinguished people. If their names occur naturally in the course of conversation, it is very well; but to be constantly quoting, "my friend, Gov. C ," or, "my intimate friend, the president," is pompous and in bad taste.
26. While refusing the part of jester yourself, do not, by stiff manners, or cold, contemptuous looks, endeavor to check the innocent mirth of others. It is in excessively bad taste to drag in a grave subject of conversation when pleasant, bantering talk is going on around you. Join in pleasantly and forget your graver thoughts for the time, and you will win more popularity than if you chill the merry circle or turn their innocent gayety to grave discussions.
27. When thrown into the society of literary people, do not question them about their works. To speak in terms of admiration of any work to the author is in bad taste; but you may give pleasure, if, by a quotation from their writings, or a happy reference to them, you prove that you have read and appreciated them.
28. It is extremely rude and pedantic, when engaged in general conversation, to make quotations in a foreign language.
29. To use phrases which admit of a double meaning, is ungentlemanly.
30. If you find you are becoming angry in a conversation, either turn to another subject or keep silence. You may utter, in the heat of passion, words which you would never use in a calmer moment, and which you would bitterly repent when they were once said.
31. "Never talk of ropes to a man whose father was hanged" is a vulgar but popular proverb. Avoid carefully subjects which may be construed into personalities, and keep a strict reserve upon family matters. Avoid, if you can, seeing the skeleton in your friend's closet, but if it is paraded for your special benefit, regard it as a sacred confidence, and never betray your knowledge to a third party.
32. If you have traveled, although you will endeavor to improve your mind in such travel, do not be constantly speaking of your journeyings. Nothing is more tiresome than a man who commences every phrase with, "When I was in Paris," or, "In Italy I saw…"
33. When asking questions about persons who are not known to you, in a drawing-room, avoid using adjectives; or you may enquire of a mother, "Who is that awkward, ugly girl?" and be answered, "Sir, that is my daughter."
34. Avoid gossip; in a woman it is detestable, but in a man it is utterly despicable.
35. Do not officiously offer assistance or advice in general society. Nobody will thank you for it.
36. Avoid flattery. A delicate compliment is permissible in conversation, but flattery is broad, coarse, and to sensible people, disgusting. If you flatter your superiors, they will distrust you, thinking you have some selfish end; if you flatter ladies, they will despise you, thinking you have no other conversation.
37. A lady of sense will feel more complimented if you converse with her upon instructive, high subjects, than if you address to her only the language of compliment. In the latter case she will conclude that you consider her incapable of discussing higher subjects, and you cannot expect her to be pleased at being considered merely a silly, vain person, who must be flattered into good humor.
I've known her for almost 13 years. She was my best friend in high school and was always there for me. She was always kind to me when I was down, and always there to help when I needed.
A year ago, she invited me to an out-of-town trip to celebrate her birthday. It was to be a great celebration with many of our close friends. I told her beforehand that I would definitely attend. Come the day of the event, I did not show - the reason that I did not show is justifiable but not important. The fact is that I told her I would be there and I wasn't. And for over a year, I have put off apologizing to her. Tonight, I apologize.
As the previous year progressed, there were accountabilities and responsibilities that were put upon me and I kept putting her off. These are not justifiable reasons for waiting a year to speak to her. I suppose it was a matter of not being able to have that tough conversation with her. Ya know those tough conversations that you know are gonna suck, or the ones that really forces you to step back and learn the multitudes of humility. This is one of them.
In retrospect, I was an idiot. I've known her for over 10 years - this shouldn't be a difficult conversation to have. It was a matter of me simply owning up to my mistake. And as I write this, I can't help but feel stupid, I mean really stupid to the point where I'm incredibly disappointed in myself for not owning up to my actions. All it would have taken was a simple phone or a text message to schedule a meetup. Of course, I did eventually, but what I'm disappointed about is waiting so long to do so.
I don't think the conversation will go badly tonight, in fact, I'm sure things will be much better after. But if there's one thing I know, it's that people will forgive, but they will never forget.
Guys, there's an important lesson to be learned here: always have those tough conversations. Never ever put them off. The longer you put off having those tough conversations, the more painful it will be, and even in some scenarios….it might be just too damn late, trust me, I know.
At any given point in time, I'm quite sure that everyone has a 'tough conversation' to face. Do yourself and those you love a favour, take action now and have that face-to-face with that person you care about. Do the right thing and do it now…before it's too late.
Be not afraid to face the consequences for your actions. Be brave in your discord, rather than cowardly in your comfort. Be a better person today.
They will love and appreciate you for it.
Don't do it. It makes you look desperate. It makes you look pathetic. And frankly, it's a really sad way of supplication. Just don't do it. What is One-upmanship?
This past week, a female friend of mine got into into a dispute with her boyfriend. Here's the story. She partakes in weekly sports activities on a regular basis - sports are a pretty big part of her life. He insisted on watching her at a few of these events, however, she declined because she did not feel comfortable having an audience, also because none of the other competitors had an audience watching. For her, she just felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable having an audience. For him, he wanted to spend time with her, he just wanted to see her - how sweet, right? Now, normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. He asks, she says no - okay cool, maybe next time? Or conversely, he asks, she says yes - okay still cool.
Instead, the conversation basically went as follows (and this is based on visual evidence, so I could not make this up):
Girl: I just don't feel comfortable having people watch me play sports
Guy: Well, I don't feel comfortable feeling like you're hiding me and not wanting me around, I just want to see you and spend time with you
Girl: I don't think it's fair that you're pressuring me to say yes
Guy: I don't think it's fair that you're stressing me out and I can't sleep
And on and on the pattern goes - you're starting to see the pattern, right?
When you get in the pattern of 'one-upping' someone, it makes you look desperate. If you're saying things just for the sake of saying something just to trump someone else, it makes you look you're needing something. It's like you're trying to qualify yourself to the audience. To you, it might seem like you're controlling the conversation or you're leading it, to others, you seem like a needy drip. Instead of always having the need to talk…just listen. Listen to what your counterparts are saying. Take the time to absorb and comprehend what they're trying to convey. When you do this, you can take a moment to form your thoughts and your own relevant points so you can actually contribute to the conversation instead of just saying something for the sake of saying it.
Conversation isn't competition. It's an exchange - it's about listening to your audience and reciprocating with your ideas. Yes, at times there will be difference of opinions and rebuttals but only relevant points should be brought up to support your existing discussions - don't bring sh*t up just for the sake of bringing it up.
So you've gone on a few first dates. Sometimes, you get a second one, but for the most part, you don't get a call or you're gently rejected when you ask for a second date. In your eyes, things go well on the first date and you're anticipating your second date…but it doesn't happen.
If you find yourself looking for a second date but you're being ignored until they disappear, it's probably you. In fact, it is you. Actually, to blame anyone else but yourself is just lame. Why? Because to look to anyone/anything else isn't taking accountability. And if you don't take accountability, who will?
Here are some thoughts….both from experience, observations and failed dates (sorry girls, the bad is mine).
Though it is nice that you believe in equality for women, the truth is that most, if not all, women expect you to PAY ON THE FIRST DATE. And if you're going to bitch and whine about how expensive the restaurant was then perhaps you should choose a more reasonably priced place.
The point is that women view CHEAP MEN in a very negative fashion because it not only says that you don't like to spend money - it also indicates that you may be cheap in other departments of your life.
You pay on the first date, even if she offers, say no, and pay the entire bill. And if you don't want to spend too much money, then perhaps your first date should take place at a cafe. If she still insists on paying (it's a test by the way - so you better not fail) try this: you pay for the bill itself, but tell her to give tip. Personally, I think this is a fair compromise. It shows that you're not cheap, but at the same time, it shows you're a little more liberated than to insist on paying for the entire bill. Remember, even though she insists that you pay for the first date, you can still show that you're enough of an evolved male to understand equality and chivalry.
Really?! Do I really have to tell you this? The answer is yes. This is the mother of all f*ck ups. What the hell were you thinking getting wasted and getting overly stupid? Even on a tenth date, it wouldn't be acceptable!
A guy who cannot handle his liquor is a man that no woman (or anyone) wants to be around. Don't get me wrong, there are people who can maintain a great demeanor when they drink. In fact, some people function better under the influence…this is directed to those who can't.
Drink slowly, eat your food, and enjoy a good conversation. And if you just drink out of habit and not because it's alcohol, then order a bottle of water to go with.
I'm not saying that you have to stay dry all night, in fact, alcohol is a good idea. After all, alcohol is 'courage in a bottle' for you and likely for her. It's great for loosening up and dropping defenses. However, if you drink to the point where you're clearly acting the fool, being obnoxious, not walking properly, etc etc, then you've gone too far. Keep an eye on her body language - suddenly crossing her arms, not making eye contact, shoulders turned away from you, legs crossed and pointed away from you. These are all signs of defensive body language. If she's exhibiting any of these, you're doing it wrong. And….if you think you need alcohol to function better - well, then dating is clearly not your biggest problem.
Not only is this a major turn off, it might come off as cowardly. Not only will you make her nervous if you keep insisting that she drink more, you will likely never see her again because she'll think of you as the creepy guy who thinks she'll be a sure thing if she's wasted.
Remember the defensive body language I described previously? Keep an eye out for it when you offer drinks. If she gets the remote impression that you have an ulterior motive to getting her drunk - you're done. Remember, this is the first date. You should hardly know each other…and if your intention is to pursue a relationship with this person, getting them wasted on the first date can either be really good (makes for great stories?) or really bad.
Offer politely, don't take 'no' personally, and most importantly, REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS GUIDELINE - that guideline goes both ways. If she gets wasted to the point where she can't walk, it's your responsibility. Just like she doesn't want to be burdened by your lack of control, you probably don't want to be burdened by hers. Be the evolved male, know where the limit is, get there and cruise from there.
She'll likely smile when you tell her head is proportional to her body. She'll appreciate that you think she's beautiful. But if you say it more than once and she'll be turned off.
Girls like to complimented, who doesn't? But it's a complete turn off to be overwhelmed with empty compliments - it's downright cheesy for a guy to over-compliment a girl. Moderate your compliments, let her know what you appreciate but remember that she doesn't need know everything you appreciate. Be so bold as to tell her why you felt the need to let her know - it shows character and thought rather than just superficiality.
For example, you could compliment her on how her earrings match her other accessories. She'll blush and be flattered that you notice. Then you could go one step further and tell her that you noticed because her earrings happen to be your favourite colour…and that pink has a significant meaning to you. And that you like pink flowers because… (you know what I mean). If it's interesting enough, she'll carry the conversation by asking why pink is your favourite colour or why you have a thing for pink flowers. And if she's asking questions, she's showing interest!
Make any mention of the future, marriage or children, and she'll be running faster than a fat kid after an ice cream truck. Remember:
a) this is the first date
b) that kind of crazy conversation is for the crazily desperate who are reaching deep
Keep the conversation light and interesting, and don't dwell into anything that remotely resembles a commitment beyond a second date. If you do talk about the future, don't be too heavy. Use humour to buffer and to get a reaction to see where she's at in the conversation. If she doesn't respond positively, it's time to change topics.
Conversely, if she starts getting into marriage, what to name your kids, how to pay for the house, etc, it's a red flag - proceed with caution if you're ready for that. She might be testing you - she might be crazy. If you show your discomfort, she'll know. Keep your cool, change the topic, and create a distraction (order drinks/food).
So she wore a low-cut top with ridiculously tight fitting jeans. Maybe she went with the short skirt that leaves little to the imagination. Either way, it's your right to glance, but not stare. Remember, you are the evolved male - you are beyond deeper than simple superficiality. You're smarter than to fall for simple tricks like that. No one will fault you for letting her know what you appreciate, but don't overdo it.
What's the alternative to staring at her chest? Eye-contact. You'll score big points if you keep non-creepy eye-contact. It lets her know that you're paying attention and you have interest in what she's saying. How do you avoid the creepy eye contact - break eye contact once in a while of course! When she asks you a question, take a second to come up with a clever answer. Before you give your opinion, take a second to give it a thought. It's that simple. It's rude to stare, but it's also rude to not pay attention.
If she starts the sex talk first, go for it. But don't go overboard. Just because she makes a joke about doing the deed in the washroom doesn't mean she's giving you the greenlight! It's likely that she's testing and teasing you. She wants you to take the bait and get into the topic. You, being the evolved male, will comply of course. After all, sex is an awesome topic. You'll use words to play and tease. Give her enough of what she wants (your attention) but show enough control so that she asks more of it - if she's trying harder to get your attention, she's yours.
Remember that just because she feels comfortable talking about sex doesn't mean you're gonna score tonight. She's not greenlighting anything - she just feels comfortable talking about it. Keep it at that and use it to your advantage. Build the anticipation for the next date (assuming you get another one). Sex talk is like cologne - use enough and you'll get the attention and the attraction, use too much and the girls will run.
So there you have it - some ideas and some guidelines to hopefully get you a second date.

Colts head coach Chuck Pagano received a standing ovation from the Lucas Oil Stadium crowd during Sunday's game against Buffalo.
With 11:23 left in the fourth quarter, team owner Jim Irsay walked outside his owner's box with Pagano and the two waved to the crowd.
It was the second straight home game Pagano has attended. He watched the last game from the coach's box.
Pagano, who has lost his hair as he undergoes chemotherapy has not been involved with the usual day-to-day operations since being diagnosed with leukemia Sept. 26. His doctor said earlier this month that the cancer was in complete remission.
Between the third and fourth quarters, two Colts cheerleaders shaved their heads after a fundraising drive raised more than $22,000 for leukemia research.

Re: It's going to be a cold winter in STL
True, it is not a good time for the fans of St. Louis sports. I usually look forward to hockey, but this year the Blues are fielding an AHL team due to their ownership issues. Ordinarily, I have been so so on baseball but the new stadium intrigues me enough to go see a game. When does Spring get here??[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Women who survive breast cancer after undergoing chemotherapy may also have to contend with impairments in attention, memory and planning skills, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
They said women who had undergone chemotherapy for breast cancer had significantly less activity in parts of the brain responsible for executive functioning tasks compared with breast cancer patients who were not treated with chemotherapy.
Among those treated with chemotherapy, there was also a strong correlation between women who complained they were having trouble with memory and thinking skills and actual deficits in these regions of the brain.
The study may help explain why many breast cancer patients complain of "chemo brain" – a term used to describe foggy thinking and memory lapses following treatment.
"This is a huge validation for these women who are telling their doctors, 'Something is wrong with me,'" said Shelli Kesler of Stanford University School of Medicine in California, whose study appears in the Archives of Neurology.
Dr. Kesler said the conventional thinking is that chemotherapy drugs cannot cross a protective membrane called the blood-brain barrier that protects the brain from toxins.
Doctors have dismissed women's complaints of brain deficits after chemotherapy, chalking them up to exaggeration and stress related to the cancer.
"This shows that when a patient reports she's struggling with these types of problems, there's a good chance there has been a brain change," Dr. Kesler said.
Her study involved 25 breast cancer patients who had been treated with chemotherapy, 19 breast cancer patients who had surgery and other treatments, and 18 healthy women.
All were asked to perform a card-sorting task that involves problem-solving skills while their brain activity was monitored through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
The women also completed questionnaires to assess their own cognitive abilities.
As in prior studies of cancer patients, the team saw significant reductions in activity in two parts of the prefrontal cortex, including one used for working memory, cognitive control and monitoring.
But they also found significantly reduced activation of an additional region of the prefrontal cortex linked with executive function – the area of the brain needed for planning.
Women in the chemotherapy group were also found to make more errors on the card-sorting task and take longer to complete it than healthy women and cancer patients who were not treated with chemotherapy.
While a finding in 25 women seems small, Dr. Kesler said it is large for a brain scan study and points to a need to start identifying which women who undergo chemotherapy are most vulnerable to these types of deficits.
She said future studies should be done in which women are tested before they undergo chemotherapy to determine the impact of treatment on brain function.

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy medicine that provides relaxation, rejuvenation and stress relief, and promotes healing on all levels and in all dimensions. "Rei" means Spirit-guided, and "Ki" means life-force energy. Thus, Reiki is Spirit-guided life-force energy.
What is A Reiki Session Like?
Clients lie fully clothed, face-up, on a comfortable massage table. The practitioner begins by sending Reiki to the client from a short distance from the table. Then, starting at the head and moving to the feet, Reiki is sent to the clent by positioning hands on the body, and in the energy field above the body. Reiki energy is warm and clients will feel heat coming from the practitioner's hands.
What Does the Client Need to Do?
Clients should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Clients are welcome to set an intention for the healing session; however, Reiki energy is intelligent and will go where it is needed. Once on the table, clients are invited to close their eyes and simply drift away.
What Are The Benefits of Reiki?
Reiki is very relaxing and provides a non-linear form of multidimensional healing. Clients often report decreased feelings of anxiety and depression, and increased feelings of physical, emotional and spiritual well being.
Where Did Reiki Come From?
Dr. Mikau Usui, who was born in Japan in 1865, is the founder of Reiki. Dr. Usui studied in the East and West, learning physical and spiritual medicine and, at one point, became a Tendai Buddhist Monk. During one of several 21-day meditations he undertook on Mount Kurama, Dr. Usui received inspiration for the Reiki system of healing.
How Do You Learn Reiki?
Reiki is not learned in the usual way, but is passed from Master to student via attunements which are sacred symbols placed in the student's energy field. The Reiki practiced at Heartfelt Healing can trace its lineage directly to Dr. Usui.
Is Reiki a Religion?
Reiki is not a religion but it is spiritual in nature and promotes feelings of peacefulness and connection to the Divine.

Japanese home run king Sadaharu Oh, a special adviser to the national team, says he accepts that Japan may have to defend its title at next year's World Baseball Classic without star outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. Suzuki, who was instrumental in helping Japan win the WBC in 2006 and 2009, is reportedly considering sitting out the 2013 event, joining fellow Japanese major leaguers Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Norichika Aoki. ''It's out of our hands,'' Oh was quoted saying Friday after Japan beat WBC first-round opponent Cuba 2-0 in an exhibition game. ''He played a huge part in the first two tournaments. Nothing is decided yet but I want him to be able to clearly decide the next step in his career.'' Oh managed the Japanese squad that won the inaugural WBC in 2006. Japanese baseball officials invited the 39-year-old Suzuki to join the 2013 team, but don't expect a response until he knows where he will play...

The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits dropped by a sharp 36,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 280,000, a sign that the job market is strengthening.
The four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure, fell 4,750 to 299,500, the Labor Department said Thursday. The total number of people collecting benefits during the first week of September was 2.43 million, the fewest since May 2007.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve policymakers have slightly increased their estimate of what the Fed's benchmark interest rate should be at the end of 2015 compared with their estimate three months ago.
U.S. manufacturing output declined in August for the first time in seven months, reflecting a sharp fall in production at auto plants that was due mainly to seasonal adjustment problems.
Output at manufacturing plants fell 0.4 percent in August after a 0.7 percent rise in July, the Federal Reserve reported Monday. Total industrial production was down 0.1 percent in August, also the first setback for the overall figure since January. Output was up in mining and utility production but these gains were not enough to offset the decline in manufacturing.
As banking has changed in recent years, it's caused consumers to take another look at the conventional wisdom – including coming to the realization that banking is not limited to, well, banks.
Credit unions tend to be overshadowed by their more traditional brethren, but they generally provide the same services in a way that consumers probably couldn't even spot the differences between those firms and larger, traditional banks.
NEW YORK (AP) – In the world of currencies, the dollar is starting to look like a safe home in a tough neighborhood.
A strengthening American economy, combined with a gloomy outlook for growth elsewhere, is pushing the U.S. currency sharply higher.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The good news is that Americans are saving more than ever for college. The bad news is that the average amount wouldn't come close to getting a person a degree.
In a report released Tuesday, the College Savings Plans Network found that the average college savings or prepaid tuition account known as a "529" plan is now worth about $20,671 – almost double what these accounts were worth during the dog-days of the recession.
Your brand is more than your logo. In fact, customers view brands through three distinct lenses – verbal, visual and experiential.
Your logo and the broader look and feel of your brand identity certainly drive a customer's visual interpretation of your brand. How they are treated when engaging with your brand drives their experiential impression of your brand. That leaves the verbal lens, which is all about your brand's spoken and written voice.
WASHINGTON (AP) – After a bleak start to the year, the U.S. economy grew at a brisk annual rate of 4.2 percent in the April-June quarter, the government said Thursday, slightly faster than it had first estimated.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. home prices increased at a slower pace in June – a cooldown that could continue for several more months.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 8.1 percent in June from 12 months earlier, according to a Tuesday report. That's down from 9.4 percent a month earlier and the smallest annual gain since December 2012.

John G. Brittle Jr. doesn't have an office. He has a war room. The space, crowded with maps, charts, books, piles of paper and marked-up spreadsheets, is ground zero for InfillNashville, the 10-person team of site selection specialists that Brittle leads at Village Real Estate Services.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. businesses added to their stockpiles at a slightly slower pace in June compared with May, possibly reflecting weaker sales in the past two months.
Business stockpiles increased 0.4 percent in June on a seasonally adjusted basis after a 0.5 percent gain in May, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Sales rose 0.3 percent in June, matching the May increase. Sales have slowed after rapid gains from February through April.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The federal government ran a lower deficit this July than a year ago, keeping it on course to record the lowest deficit in six years.

WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. wholesalers restocked their warehouses at a modest pace in June for a second straight month, a sign they may anticipate slower growth ahead.
The Commerce Department said Friday that wholesale inventories rose 0.3 percent, the same as the previous month. May's inventory gain was revised down from 0.5 percent.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. workers were more productive in the April-June quarter and labor costs rose slightly, a sharp turnaround from grim first-quarter figures.
The Labor Department said Friday that that productivity increased 2.5 percent at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, after plummeting 4.5 percent in the first quarter. That was the steepest drop in 31 years, and reflected a sharp 2.1 percent contraction in the economy. Economists blamed most of that shrinkage on temporary factors, such as harsh weather and a cutback in stockpiling by businesses.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy has rebounded with vigor from a grim start to 2014 and should show renewed strength into next year.
That was the general view of analysts Wednesday after the government estimated that the economy grew at a fast 4 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. Consumers, businesses and governments joined to fuel the second-quarter expansion. The government also said growth was more robust last year than it had previously estimated.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The risk of losing your job is getting smaller and smaller.
As the U.S. economy has improved and employers have regained confidence, companies have been steadily shedding fewer workers. Which is why applications for unemployment benefits have dwindled to their lowest level since February 2006 – nearly two years before the Great Recession began – the government said Thursday.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. economic growth this year will likely be at the weakest pace since the Great Recession ended, the International Monetary Fund said, mostly because of a sharp, weather-related contraction in the first quarter.
U.S. retail sales increased slightly in June, evidence that consumers remain cautious despite steady job gains this year.
Retail sales rose just 0.2 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday, held back by a sharp drop at building and garden supply stores. Sales also fell at restaurants and at auto dealers.
The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits fell last week, a steady decline that suggests a strengthening job market.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Tuesday that the economic recovery is not yet complete and for that reason the Fed intends to keep providing significant support to boost growth and improve labor market conditions.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government ran a monthly budget surplus in June, putting it on course to record the lowest annual deficit since 2008.
The Treasury Department said Friday that its June surplus totaled $71 billion, following a $130 billion deficit in May. The government also ran a surplus in June 2013, bolstered by dividends from Fannie Mae, the mortgage giant under federal conservatorship for the past six years.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. business economists have sharply cut their growth forecasts for the April-June quarter and 2014, though they remain optimistic that the economy will rebound from a dismal first quarter.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Fewer people sought U.S. unemployment benefits last week, driving down the level of applications to nearly the lowest in seven years.
Weekly applications for unemployment aid dropped 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 304,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's not far from a reading of 298,000 two months ago, which was the lowest since 2007, before the Great Recession began.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes shot up in May. But the pace of buying this year remains slower than in 2013, in part because of sluggish sales during winter.
Orders for U.S. durable goods tumbled 1 percent in May as demand for military equipment fell sharply. But excluding defense-related goods, orders actually rose, and orders in a key category that signals business investment also increased.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits declined last week, the latest evidence that a sharp economic slowdown earlier this year hasn't caused employers to cut jobs.
Weekly unemployment benefit applications fell 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 312,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose 2,000 to 314,000.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits declined last week, the latest evidence that a sharp economic slowdown earlier this year hasn't caused employers to cut jobs.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. economy shrank at a steep annual rate of 2.9 percent in the January-March quarter as a harsh winter contributed to the biggest contraction since the depths of the recession five years ago. But the setback is widely thought to be temporary, with growth rebounding solidly since spring.
LaTasha Jones has been named director of provider engagement at Health Choice LLC, where she will be responsible for directing and managing the implementation of a clinical integration database for Health Choice providers and practices.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. economy took a beating from an especially harsh winter during the January-March quarter, skidding into reverse for the first time in three years. But spring has arrived and along with it, signs that the chill was just a temporary setback in the long road to recovery.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. consumers were slightly more confident in the economy in May than in April, partly because of strengthening optimism about future hiring and income gains.
The Conference Board said Tuesday that its confidence index rose to 83 from a revised 81.7 in April. That's the second-highest reading since January 2008, just after the Great Recession began. Only March was higher at 83.9.
LONDON (AP) – The board of AstraZeneca on Monday rejected the improved $119 billion takeover offer from U.S. drugmaker Pfizer, a decision that caused a sharp slide in the U.K. company's share price as many investors think it effectively brings an end to the protracted and increasingly bitter takeover saga.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. government ran a big surplus in April, thanks to a flood of tax payments that helped keep the budget on track for the lowest annual deficit in six years.
The Treasury Department said Monday that April's surplus totaled $106.9 billion, down slightly from last April's $112.9 billion surplus. The government typically runs a surplus during April, when individual tax returns are due and corporations make quarterly tax payments.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell this week for a second straight week as the spring home-buying season has gotten off to a slow start.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate for the 30-year loan declined to 4.21 percent from 4.29 percent last week. The average for the 15-year mortgage eased to 3.32 percent from 3.38 percent.
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – Germany's Bayer plans to buy U.S.-based Merck & Co.'s consumer health business, creating a combined medicine cabinet of household names from Bayer's aspirin to Merck's Claritin allergy pills.
WASHINGTON (AP) – After watching China narrow the U.S. lead as the world's largest economy, Americans might be tempted to cheer signs that the Chinese economy might be stumbling.
Any schadenfreude would be short-sighted.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. economy slowed sharply in the first three months of the year as a harsh winter exacted a toll on business activity. The slowdown, while worse than expected, is likely to be temporary as growth rebounds with warmer weather.
Funding for U.S. startup companies soared 57 percent in the first quarter to a level not seen since 2001, as venture capitalists piled more money into a growing number of deals, according to a report due out Friday.
WASHINGTON (AP) – House Republicans rallied behind a slashing budget blueprint on Thursday, passing a non-binding but politically imposing measure that promises a balanced federal ledger in 10 years with sweeping budget cuts and termination of health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
WASHINGTON (AP) – In a concerted election-year push to draw attention to women's wages, President Barack Obama signed directives Tuesday that would make it easier for workers of federal contractors to get information about workplace compensation. He seasoned his move with a sharp rebuke of Republicans whom he accused of "gumming up the works" on workplace fairness.
U.S. manufacturing grew at a slightly faster pace in March compared with February as factory output recovered from disruptions caused by severe winter weather. Manufacturers also received more orders, suggesting that production could strengthen a bit in the months ahead. The Institute for Supply Management, a group of purchasing managers, said Tuesday that its manufacturing index increased to 53.7 from 53.2 in February. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. trade deficit climbed to the highest level in five months in February as demand for American exports fell while imports increased slightly.
The deficit increased to $42.3 billion, which was 7.7 percent above the January imbalance of $39.3 billion, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.
U.S. manufacturing grew at a slightly faster pace in March compared with February as factory output recovered from disruptions caused by severe winter weather. Manufacturers also received more orders, suggesting that production could strengthen a bit in the months ahead.

U.S. factory output rebounded strongly in February after harsh winter storms caused a steep drop-off in production in January. Manufacturers produced more autos, home electronics and chemicals.
The Federal Reserve said Monday that factory production surged 0.8 percent, nearly reversing a 0.9 percent plunge in January that was due mainly to weather. February's gain was the largest in six months.
U.S. home construction fell for a third month in February, but in a hopeful sign, applications for building permits rose to their highest level in four months.
Builders started work on 907,000 homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in February, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That was down a slight 0.2 percent from January, when construction had fallen 11.2 percent. The declines have been blamed in large part on severe winter weather in much of the country.

The producer price index, which measures price changes before they reach the consumer, dropped 0.1 percent in February, the Labor Department said Friday. That's the first decline since November.

WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. home prices rose in January after three months of declines as a tight supply of properties likely supported prices despite slower sales.
Real estate data provider CoreLogic said Tuesday that prices rose 0.9 percent in January after dipping 0.1 percent in December. Over the past 12 months, home prices have risen 12 percent, the biggest year-over-year gain in more than eight years.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. manufacturing expanded more quickly last month as companies received more orders and boosted their stockpiles.
A measure of production fell to its lowest level in nearly five years, likely a casualty of severe winter weather. But the rise in orders raises the possibility that factory output will rebound in coming months, economists said.
Our last Let's Grow column focused on an outgrowth of our efforts with some sharp peers, the Memphis Innovation Bootcamp.
One objective of the Bootcamp is to build a community of innovators. The more we socialize these methods and tools, the larger the social and business problems can be met with creativity, empathy and the widest range of possible solutions.

When Rosemarie Fair first entered the world of commercial real estate in the early 1980s, it was still a largely male-dominated profession and she felt the biting sting of disrespect.
"When you're in property management as a female and you're developing a Downtown mixed-use project, when you walked into a construction site the contractors and subcontractors just assumed here comes the owner's wife, or the secretary," said Fair, owner of One Source Commercial Inc. "The old adage back then was you had to work twice as hard to be thought of half as much and back then it was absolutely true. I had to start below zero and prove myself. And I did, and I was successful."
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. consumer prices barely rose last month as a sharp increase in energy costs was offset by cheaper clothing, cars and air fares. The figures indicate inflation remains mild.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Lenders repossessed fewer U.S. homes in January, bringing the number of completed foreclosures down to the lowest level in more than six years.
Even so, many states posted sharp increases in the number of homes entering the foreclosure process for the first time, a trend that raises the likelihood that those states will see a surge in foreclosed homes later this year.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – U.S. homeowners are doing a better job of keeping up with mortgage payments, a trend that has reduced the rate of late payment on home loans to the lowest level in more than five years.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Fears of an economic slowdown are heightening anticipation of what Friday's U.S. jobs report for January might reveal.
Stock markets have sunk after signs of weaker growth in the United States, Europe and China. Turmoil in developing countries has further spooked investors. The upheaval has renewed doubts about the Federal Reserve's next steps.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A private survey shows that businesses added jobs at a modest pace in January, a sign that hiring may have rebounded after a disappointing figure in December.
Payroll processor ADP said Wednesday that companies added 175,000 jobs last month. That's down from 227,000 in December, which was revised lower. But it was much better than the government's official figure of just 74,000 new jobs in December.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Americans increased their spending at a solid pace for the second straight month in December even though their income was flat.
Consumer spending rose 0.4 percent in December, compared with November when spending had increased an even stronger 0.6 percent, the Commerce Department reported Friday. That was the best gain in five months.
1974: A nine-member delegation from the Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce began a visit to four cities in Japan at the invitation of the Japanese government. The visit to Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Nara led to the opening of the Sharp manufacturing plant in Hickory Hill four years later.The four-city visit was billed as a chance to exchange opinions "on a broad range of matters and problems of mutual interest." But Chamber chief executive officer Ronald E. Leigh also had talks scheduled, according to The Daily News, "with one corporation that has had representatives here on four occasions," including the week before the Memphis delegation left for Japan. That corporation was Sharp Corp. The plant, which in the beginning made color televisions, was a breakthrough for direct foreign business investment in Tennessee and Memphis.
On a recent Thursday night in January, 10 young girls enjoyed assorted cheeses, crab cakes, fruits and desserts at Napa Café in East Memphis.
While the girls, all members of Girls Inc. of Memphis, loved the food, it was their discussions with female employees from CB Richard Ellis Memphis that nourished their imaginations and ambitions.
Sharp Corp.'s announcement last week that it would end solar panel production at its Memphis plant is the latest indication of how volatile the solar energy industry has become.

The company's notice to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development says 311 workers will lose their jobs as of March 22.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas' public schools and prisons would get funding boosts under a $5 billion budget plan Gov. Mike Beebe unveiled Tuesday. But his administration warned that the state could face a sizable hole in the budget if lawmakers follow through with a plan to halt an expansion of Medicaid.
WASHINGTON (AP) – It came as a shock: U.S. employers added just 74,000 jobs in December, far fewer than anyone expected. This from an economy that had been adding nearly three times as many for four straight months – a key reason the Federal Reserve decided last month to slow its economic stimulus.
U.S. service companies expanded at a steady but slightly slower pace in December as sales dipped and new orders plunged to a four-year low. The report suggests economic growth may remain modest in the coming months.
DALLAS (AP) – A key revenue figure for Southwest Airlines Co. soared in December on stronger passenger traffic, a sharp turnaround from November that may have reflected the unusually late Thanksgiving holiday.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The fired chief of staff for Sen. Lamar Alexander made his first court appearance Thursday on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography.

That meant, if you couldn't get out the door and out of earshot fast enough, you'd be working for Dad. "I need a #2 this or that," he'd say – staring at the repurposed wooden Philadelphia Cream Cheese box in his hand that no longer held cream cheese and, evidently, not a single #2 this or that either – "Run down to the hardware store."
WASHINGTON (AP) – Americans ramped up purchases of new homes in October after three months of soft sales, evidence that the housing recovery is improving fitfully.
Sales of new homes grew 25.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 444,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That was the largest monthly percentage increase since May 1980.
U.S. consumers' confidence in the economy fell in November to the lowest level in seven months, dragged down by greater concerns about hiring and pay in the coming months.

U.S. home prices rose more slowly in September than in August, a sign that weaker sales are preventing the kinds of sharp price gains that occurred earlier this year.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 0.7 percent from August to September, down from a 1.3 percent gain from July to August. That figure isn't adjusted for seasonal variations, so the change reflects, in part, slower buying in late summer and fall.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. home prices rose more slowly in September than in August, a sign that weaker sales are preventing the kinds of sharp price gains that occurred earlier this year.
WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. consumers' confidence in the economy fell in November to the lowest level in seven months, dragged down by greater concerns about hiring and pay in the coming months.

A measure of U.S. home prices rose only slightly in September from August, a sign that prices are leveling off after big gains earlier this year.
Real estate provider CoreLogic said Tuesday that home prices increased 0.2 percent in September from the previous month. That's sharply lower than the 0.9 percent month-over-month gain in August and well below the 1.8 percent increase in July.
To the question, how patient are Grizzlies fans willing to be, we now have a definitive answer.
Their patience broke as the third quarter ended Wednesday, Nov. 6, at FedExForum. Their Grizzlies – that gritty, lovable bunch that won 56 games last season and went to the Western Conference Finals – trailed the New Orleans Pelicans by 22 points.
Real estate provider CoreLogic said Tuesday that home prices increased 0.2 percent in September from the previous month. That's sharply lower than the 0.9 percent month-over-month gain in August and well below the 1.8 percent increase in July.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits jumped by 66,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 374,000. But the spike was largely because California processed a huge backlog of claims and the partial government shutdown prompted some companies to cut jobs.

The Institute of Supply Management said Thursday that its service-sector index fell to 54.4 in September, down from 58.6 in August. August's reading was the highest since December 2005. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.

The quake, which was initially reported at a 4.3 magnitude, was centered about 15 miles northeast of San Francisco, and was at a depth of 5.5 miles, the USGS said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
"It woke me up. I heard a woman in my building scream. It lasted several seconds," said a resident in nearby Oakland, located across San Francisco Bay. The resident said it was still dark when the quake hit.

My next review is live! Check it out!
In this workshop, held on Thursday 13 June, Courtauld students Agathe Jacquemet and Amélie Timmermans set out to explore why and how people and organizations collect art. The afternoon began with a short video of three different collectors discussing why they collect, what defines them as a collector, and how they purchase and develop their collections.

Chinese contemporary artist Liu Dahong began his presentation on 30 April by stating that he has lived through three dynasties—the first being Chairman Mao's reign, the second when he left power, and the third the current regime. He explained that this is the lens through which all of his paintings must be viewed… Read more of my review.

Hi guys,
I'm sorry to as such a basic question, but how do you create a subscription box. I'm looking to make one almost identical to the one located on the upper right of www.thanksrp.com.

Haute-Garonne is a department of southern France in the Midi-Pyrenees, bordering Spain to the south. It is a department of varied landscapes from lush plains to the soaring peaks of the Pyrenees, but throughout the department, sporting facilities and historical monuments blend together perfectly.
The mountains to the south of the department are a huge attraction for those hoping to enjoy the great outdoors. In summer, walkers, cyclists and climbers flock to Haute-Garonne property to enjoy the naturally sporting landscape. The walking and cycle route are also marked with hoof prints as the many stables in the region take guided horse rides up into the mountains for spectacular riding holidays. There are both climbing centres and a mountain biking park with equipment hire, route guides and instruction should you need it.
In winter, the Pyrenees are blanketed in snow, and the walkers, bikers and climbers are replaced by snow sports enthusiast in the numerous apartments, villas and gites in Haute-Garonne.
Taking a family holiday to Haute-Garonne is a great option, not only for the eclectic mix of sport, history and culture, but also due to the number of attractions which are located around the department. There are a huge number of museums displaying artefacts and information on a wide range of topics, as well as a zoo and animal parks.
Toulouse, the pink city, is the party centre of southern France, offering revellers the opportunity to dance long into the night. There is a lot more to Toulouse though, from the impressive Renaissance architecture and spectacular religious architecture of the Toulouse Basilica and the Cathedral of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges to the top-class French cuisine served up by Haute-Garonne's best restaurants. Taking a Haute-Garonne holiday rental villa also allows you to enjoy the exceptional shopping of Toulouse or sit and sip a coffee and watch the world drift by in one of Toulouse's pavement cafes.
The cultural and historical capital of Haute-Garonne has to be the fascination town of St Gaudens, regularly cited as the most beautiful settlement in the region. Evidence of life stretching over 30,000 years has been found here, including the oldest Gallo-Roman villa that has ever been discovered. Walking around the town you will see a plethora of ancient little chapels and solid fortresses which have managed to withstand the changing conditions (both climatic and political) of Haute-Garonne over many centuries.
A Haute-Garonne property has to withstand two very different seasons each year, with over 2,000 hours of sunshine in the summer, with average temperatures reaching over 25˚C. In winter, the high altitude of much of the department means that temperatures drop, and the snow begins to fall around mid-December.
Toulouse International Airport (TLS) is set just outside the town, and receives many direct flights from all across the UK, making it the easiest entry point when trying to reach a Haute-Garonne property. easyJet run services from London Gatwick (LGW) and Bristol (BRS). If you have an aversion to flying, the TGV train stops in Toulouse.

I would (run) 500 miles, and I would (run) 500 more
I have written about my Adventures in Working Out in this space with some regularity, but also with trepidation. It's a selfish endeavor. Shortly after I began running in earnest and making friends with others that did, I realized that runners like to write about their running, but that didn't make me any more comfortable doing so myself.
To be fair, it does makes sense. Writing about your running (or any other hobby you may have, for that matter), makes it more real, and it makes you accountable.
That said, I've tried to avoid devoting too much time to writing about it. I don't pretend that anyone would really care, particularly people who read this space and might not know (or care about) me personally. About a year and a half ago, though, I wrote this piece, about having reached a point where running was actually a part of my life, and not just something I was trying out like a New Year's Resolution or a new brand of beer.
I wrote that with some trepidation, knowing that a year later I'd look stupid if I had given up going to the gym and regained the 15-20 pounds I'd lost. But I felt comfortable that running had, indeed, become a permanent part of my life. That I'd be able to stick with it.
I still didn't really consider myself a "runner" in the sense of what I picture in my mind when someone uses that word, but I was now able to run farther and longer than I'd ever imagined I'd be able to.
I couldn't say for sure how many miles I ran in 2010 because I didn't count, but I would guess I probably ran 300 or so. That's not even a mile a day, obviously, but it's unlikely that I had run much more than 300 miles in my entire life previously. So it seemed like kind of a big deal.
But I knew I was still at the bottom of the running totem pole, and wanted to set a bigger goal for 2011. Something that would be a very real challenge for me, but that was still realistic. I settled on 500 miles for the calendar year. That would be my goal for 2011.
The funny thing about that number is it either sounds like an awful lot or it doesn't sound like many at all.
If someone had suggested to me when I was 27 that I try to run 500 miles in a single year, I would've laughed off the idea. You could just as well have asked me to run 5,000.
But now that I regularly talk to people who can run 26.2 miles in a row without stopping, I realize that 500 miles is basically nothing. It's a little less than 10 miles a week. My friend Jeri ran over 1,300 miles in 2011, and she didn't even have a hard-fast goal (as far as I know), that's just where she ended up (we joked that we should do shots of 1800 as a celebration of our collaborative efforts).
I had just gotten to the point that my lungs and legs could handle 10 miles in a week when I set the goal, but I still had to consider the other variables that can get in the way: Work, family commitments, travel, illness, and the one I feared most, injury. I just had to take my chances.
To help me, I kept a running tally on my twitter account.
3 miles. 37 total.
5 miles. 122.
1 mile. 287.
2 miles. 500.
This drew some good-natured and probably deserved teasing from some (horrible people like Darren Rovell will tell you that tweeting about any kind of exercising is against some imagined twitter code, but screw that guy), but I knew it would be the best way possible to hold myself accountable. I knew that simply jotting the mileage down on a piece of paper wouldn't work. I'd lose it or forget or whatever. But anything posted on twitter is there to access anytime. I could always go back to the last post to see where I was, and while I don't think anyone would've really cared if the mileage updates had just stopped one day, there was something very satisfying about sticking with it, and seeing the number slowly but steadily climb, of reminding people, 'Yes, I'm still doing this. I haven't quit.'
I got off to a great start, and by late spring was well ahead of the pace. But I forgot about all those variables that could get in the way. It was pretty easy to find excuses not to run in the summer, with baseball games, barbecues, Wild Water West and trips to the lake all sounding a lot more fun that spending a half hour jogging on the treadmill or down the sidewalk.
By the time summer ended I was behind the pace, and with football season starting, I was going to be much busier than I had been during the summer.
I knew better than to try to make up ground quickly, instead trying to register a 13 mile week here, a 12 mile week there, and never have a week go by where I ran less than 9 or 10. To make this long story a tad shorter, I was back ahead of the pace by about mid-November, and I reached mile No. 500 on Dec. 23.
I meant to keep going and hopefully get to around 515 or 520, but, after an entire year of almost perfect health, got sick the week of Christmas and had to take a week off. I ran six miles on New Years Eve, putting my final tally at 506.
I certainly don't want to get self-righteous here, but after I surpassed 500, I realized that the number wasn't the thing. It was setting a goal and then reaching it. I don't think enough people do that, by all means including myself. I tried to think of other times in my life that I'd set a long term goal and achieved it, and I couldn't really come up with anything. Graduating college maybe, but that was easy. Earning a walk-on spot on a college football or baseball team? Chickened out on those. Managing one of my amateur baseball teams to a state championship? Failed on that one. Get a job as a sportswriter? Maybe, but I work to live, not the other way around. Never felt like a major accomplishment. This was, it turned out, kind of a big deal for me personally.
I'm not upgrading the goal in any big way for 2012. 600 might be a possibility, but work might make that difficult. My goal for 2012 is just to surpass last year's total of 506. If I somehow manage to really blow it out of the water, maybe I'll set it higher in 2013.
Being that it's now the New Year, the gyms are now full again, as they are every January. People who are fat and flabby, weak and unsure, are filing in, hoping that maybe this is the year that they finally drop that spare tire, or just get back into good enough shape that they can sleep better, and enjoy a more active lifestyle.
I'm all for them doing so. And while I'm not arrogant enough to suggest I can tell them how to make it work, there are a few pointers I can offer for anyone who might be trying again this January.
It's hard, and it sucks. If you're looking for an easy quick fix, liposuction is your only option. You have to work out all the time, not just once in a blue moon. And it could take months before you actually notice a difference in your appearance. Most people quit because they get frustrated when they don't see immediate results. I didn't give a rip about losing weight or looking different, so that made it easier for me to stick with it. You have to be really patient.
Once you reach your goal, of losing weight or getting in shape or whatever, that doesn't mean you get to quit. Working out, running, lifting, whatever — being active has to become part of your life. It has to be something as routine and necessary as eating lunch, as paying your monthly bills. It's never over. That's probably the hardest thing.
Hold yourself accountable. Excuses are just that - excuses. Without my twitter updates, I bet I would've quit.
And lastly, it's worth it. I've put a few of the pounds from when I was fat back on, but for the most part, I'm where I want to be. I'm more active than I was in college or the first few years after. I've got a lot more energy. And yes, I look better than I did.
I know a lot of people will find this piece to be narcissistic and self-indulgent, and that's perfectly OK, because it is. But maybe there's just a few people who will read this who are thinking they're never going to get back in shape, and if there are, I want them to know they can do it. It'll take time and a lot of work, and there aren't any really great payoffs.
But it's worth it. I'm hoping I run 500 miles or more every year for the rest of my life.

The recipe overall was easy to follow. Directions were clear. The only thing was that there wasn't enough sauce, and the taste was a little bland. I had to add a little more salt and pepper just to get a more better taste out of it. I also would recommend adding another vegetable that has texture. Everything was just pretty mushy. The end result did turn out like the picture shown, just used different type of noodles. I would recommend adding a little more spices to add kick to it. Also, it needs a lot more sauce. It was kinda dry after a couple minutes. So if I were to make this recipe again, I would double the milk and cream cheese so it won't be as dry.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
There are plenty of sites that will critique or flat out make fun of "bad" RSPs, but they tend to get nasty, elitist, and judgmental. Sometimes they spotlight good RSPs and give advice on ways to write a RSP or how to improve a "bad" RSP.
RPers' Lament could do this, when they weren't trying to craft jokes about the writing. They tried to never attack the writers themselves--an important part of critique some people can't separate, that a criticism of one's writing does NOT equal an attack on oneself as a person or even a writer--but there were times when some grudge matches were obviously occurring, despite claims. The "here's how this might be improved" often felt tacked on. But they never claimed it was anything but their personal opinions and subjective, and they did attempt to help some newer folks and spotlighted decent RSPs, and offered helpful advice at times. Those parts of the site are worth reading at least. They aren't really doing much with WoW lately, though.
Sites that actually collect good RSPs, or offer advice, are few and far between. I recall Lament even noted how much more traffic they got compared to those "Good Guy" sites (as people liked the ~drama~ that could occur). Checking server forums for the RP character threads, looking for their server wikis or story sites, might point to where peoples' RSPs are, or at least their character info in long form. RP Haven once had a "Show your RSP!" thread, years ago; I may dig it up and revise my own entries to it.
