Trying to grow through personal development may seem like a daunting task. The trick towards effective personal development is to discover the methods that work for you. All individuals are unique, and different things work for different people. Keep learning about self improvement to pick up new ideas. Start by reading this article and choosing which of these tips you are going to apply.
Stress can greatly interfere with your mood. When we are stressed out, it harms us mentally and physically. To retain clarity of mind and the motivation to work towards our goals, it is critical to banish unnecessary stress from our minds. Set a time each day to relax, to clear your mind, and be alone. This mental break each day will improve your peace and clarity of mind, and help improve your self-image.
One aspect of self improvement is becoming a leader. Leadership is generally approached as being influential. Review your total experiences as a leader. What are the specific incidences that made the biggest influence in your life? What aspects of your life did those events bring about? What skills would you contribute to a group? Ask yourself these questions in order to see how you will be as a member of a team.
To get the biggest benefits from personal development, make sure to physically take care of your body. Simple activities like getting enough sleep, regular exercise and a healthy diet help your energy level remain high, giving you a greater chance of success on your self improvement quest. While these might seem like simple things to do, sometimes they are the hardest to accomplish.
Exercising is not only a way to lose weight. There are a variety of great reasons to exercise. People who exercise regularly are generally happier and more relaxed than their couch potato counterparts.
Get some self-satisfaction by complimenting others. By being proactive and reaching out, being nice to others will help you to treat yourself nicely as well.
Take stock of your alcohol use to see if you are drinking too much. Do you harm your body through smoking, or in other ways? Our bodies are important to maintain, and should be treated with care. A great way to improve your life is to say goodbye to bad habits that are only hurting you. Look at some of the habits you have and evaluate if there is anything you can change for the better.
Complex Carbohydrates
When trying to handle depression, focus on your diet and increase your complex carbohydrates. A diet that is deficient in complex carbohydrates can lead to low serotonin levels. Complex carbs that you can easily eat to raise these levels include whole grains, nuts, raw vegetables and more.
An excellent method of helping you with your anxiety is going to the movies with a friend. You will be out and about, but not in a setting that requires a lot of social interaction. It also helps you acclimate yourself to being in a crowd.
Do not be afraid to take risks in the pursuit of happiness. It can be scary to go out of your comfort zone because of a fear of failing or rejection, though never taking risks will leave you unfulfilled. Taking chances shows courage, which is what's needed to help guide you on a path of happiness.
Each person needs to improve in different life areas, so grab the most useful tips for your situation from this article. Do your best to follow foolproof methods and you will succeed. Be sure to take this advice and help everybody that you care about with this new knowledge.

You've gotta love the mural painted on the side of this building. What a sight indeed. This is yet another shot collected on my Sunday drive last weekend. There is some very unique architecture here in the Wilson County area of Tennessee. :) Enjoy.

My week long tour of St. Paul concludes with a close double dip. We'll start with Brainerd at Central and then mosey down Hamline to the nightcap of #4AAA DeLaSalle at #10AAAA Cretin-Derham Hall. Lots of folks on hand at CDH including most of section 3 to scout the Raiders. Pump N Run, Howard Pulley and Net Gain all represented. U of St. Thomas on hand take a look at Taylor Montero. Jay Pivec and Ed Cassidy from Dakota County Technical College also watching.
Game 1: Brainerd at St. Paul Central
Central coming in on a streak of 6 of 7 wins against a weak city schedule. Brainerd came in winning 3 of 4 and in the middle of the pack in the Central Lakes. The Warriors can move up as they still have 2nd place Rocori on the schedule. Montrell Williams with the 1st 5 for Central before an 11-2 Brainerd run forces the Minutemen to take a timeout. 11-7 Warriors at the 12:13 mark. Central counters with a 23-6 run as Williams knocks down back to back 3s and takes a steal for a dunk during that run. Brainerd gets 5 in a row before a 9-2 Central spurt ends the half. 39-24 Minutemen at the break.
Brainerd starts the half on a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 8. Center Malik Durant-Haines sat out the 1st half and enters at the 14:55 mark. He immediately scores a pair of buckets. Darius Campbell with back to back buckets and soph Rayeon Williams with 3 in a row to push the lead to 55-36. A Felix Taylor putback with 6:25 left keeps the lead at 57-39 and Brainerd has 5 new guys at the table. That appears to be the waving of the white flag but hold on a minute. A silly Central technical changes everything and Jack Sauer goes off. He nails a 3 and scores a pair of buckets to cut the lead to 63-51 with 2:13 left. Central turns it over and Sauer knocks down a 3 and scores a layup on another Central turnover. Turnover by Central again and its Sauer again for 3. 63-59 Central with 1:25 left. 13 in a row for Jack Sauer and this one is interesting again. Central misses a front end and the criminal offensive rebound chance but Brainerd turns it over with 40 seconds left and wouldn't get any closer. Central wins 69-61. Montrell Williams leads Central with 24 points. Jack Sauer with 21 of his 25 in the 2nd half including 4 3s. Central hosts Johnson on Tuesday with a chance to split the regular season St. Paul City title and then they finish the regular season on Thursday at Highland Park.
Game 2: De La Salle at Cretin-Derham Hall
Shawn Fitzgibbons comes off the DLS bench in this one, but Reid Travis gets off to a quick start. He converts a 3 point play at the 10:51 mark to tie the game at 10. That's 7 in a row for the star sophomore. Travis gets a breather and Luke Scott nails a pair of 3s to keep the Islanders momentum going. 18-12 DLS at the 6:40 mark. The run is 18-5 over 8 minutes. That was after CDH scored the first 7 of the game in 3:20. The rest of the half is even for a 29-25 DLS lead at halftime.
De La Salle puts this one out of reach in the 1st 9 minutes of the 2nd half. Ross Barker with a pair of hoops around a Luke Hamel 3 point play. Nice to see Hamel getting a start as he's been active and productive for the Raiders recently. Scott with another 3, Travis takes a turnover for a dunk. Timeout CDH as the lead is 38-28 with 11:57 to play. Jarvis Johnson for 3, Jacob Svanoe fouled for 3 free throws, Tyler Moore with a putback and Jarvis Johnson with a layup. 48-31 DLS with 8:35 to play. 19-6 Islanders outscore the Raiders so far in the half. CDH makes it interesting in the last 3 minutes with Cortez Tillman for 3 and Sam Neumann with a pair of long 3s and a basket. Luke Scott with 4 free throws and Ross Barker with 2 more to keep the margin safe. DLS wins 64-56. Sam Neumann 4 3s and 22 points. CJ Neumann 15 points. Reid Travis with 20 points. Luke Scott 4 3s and 4 FTs for 16 points. Considering that CDH played zone much of the game and recent performance, I think its time for me to eat some crow. DLS has looked much better against zone recently.

|When you praise and call blessings unto the Prophet, God and His Angels
raise a fleet of praises and blessings on your behalf for the Prophet.
Now tell me how God does not love you so?
7. The Heavenly Harbour Master
We docked and the harbour master came
Inquiring of our cargo,
"What do you bring to my harbour?"
Our captain replied,
"Praise for Muhammad!"
The harbour master grunted,
"This small ship, you say? Is this all?"
A chuckle escaped from our captain before replying,
"Yes, it is small. But look behind us, Harbour Master!"
The old man jumped in surprise,
Perceiving, a flotilla of ships on the water,
Blocking the view of the sea,
A flight of vessels in the sky,
Blocking the horizon from east to west,
With banners emblazoned with Light,
Declaring the ships not of human origin,
But displaying the holy colours of the Lord Himself,
And the countless insignias
Of His Arch-Angels.
Orientalists of old called Muslims 'Mohamedans'. Ill-informed and indignant, I was one of many who thought such labels as confusing and misleading, intended to confuse the Muslim nation. But now, coming into 42 years old, I take it as a mark of honour to be known as a 'Mohamedan'. For you cannot be a Muslim if you are not a Mohamedan. It was in those school years that I unquestioningly accepted some of the 'knowledge' rolled-out from the Wahabi school, such as it is wrong and an evil innovation (bida'ah) to celebrate the Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) birthday. Now I am not so deceived.
Today most Muslims continue to revel in the singing of beautiful songs giving honorable greetings to the Prophet and weaving praise for him all night long (They call it salawat). For it is the only form of devotion shared between mankind and God and His Endless Cohorts of Angels. It says so in the Holy Quran...
Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation. (33:56, Marmaduke Pickthall translation)
Thus, if the religion of Islam is based on the Holy Quran and the Sunnaturasul (The Ways of the Prophet), then the practice of salawat is a Sunnatullah (The Ways of God).
Thus, if you wish to know of the Mohamedans, ask them of their Prophet Muhammad(pbuh). For that is the best example that they would wish to share with you. And if you ask them as to their religion, some shall say that they have none, and that they are merely taking shelter in the ways of the the Adab (courtly courtesies), the knowledge and the wisdom, the mercy and the compassion, the beauty, delicacy and laws as bestowed by God unto His Muhammad(pbuh) in God's Infinite Kindness, Compassion and Love for His creation.
For all His Creation, for whom, God has an Unquenchable Love. This you would know with unfettered certainty, if you but knew a little of Him. You must not take this from me, an anonymous writer in an anonymous blog and an inscrutable fat fellow of doubtful history. Look for Him yourself... For He is certainly looking for you...
What a lovely day this is turning out to be, sunshine.
wa min Allah at-taufiq
Hate has no place in Islam
Love will show the Way
*Painting by Russian Black Sea Fleet on a Parade in 1849, by Ivan Aivazovsky, 1886.

Mo-Ville and Conference
...So we have a ping-pong table in our appartment, and we decided to take some action pics, and I tried to make some good faces! Haha enjoy!
Hello Everyone!
Well things have been going like crazy here in the Montgomery Village (we call it Mo-Ville for short) ward, it is A LOT different than Bowie, there are spanish and french missionaries that cover the same area that we do, and I have roommates, so we are around a lot of missionaries all the time where as in Bowie, it was pretty much just me and my companion for the most part. And I am really sore from riding my bike so much... guess I need to get back into shape! Things are really good though, we had a sweet experience happen this last week, we found a less-active member that has recently moved from California, and her records aren't even in the ward yet, but we were able to have dinner with her and her daughter on Monday, and it turns out that they are having sort of a tough time in life right now, but they want to get back to church, and the daughter has not been baptized yet, so hopefully we will be able to reactivate the mom as well as have the daughter be baptized.
I was able to meet quite a bit of the members, even though this week was general conference, but I can already tell that this ward is awesome, and they want to do missionary work. Speaking of conference, I thought it was amazing! As usual! Some of my favorite talks were both of Uchtdorf's (naturally...) he always seems to have a way of putting things so that it makes sense to me, Elder Christoffersen's talk about repentance, and all of the missionary talks as well. Unfortunately we weren't able to have any investigators at conference though. And sorry, I don't have my notes on me right now, or else I would go into more depth, but I took a bunch of notes!
Elder Pound and I are doing good, even though he sometimes has no mercy on the bikes for me haha, so things are going great, and we work really well together. It is kind of nice... ok, it is really nice to not have to worry about teaching my companion how to do missionary work, not that I have ever really had to do that, but it is cool, because we can just hit the ground running rather than having to get everything in order beforehand. But all is well here in Mo-Ville, and it should be a fun transfer! I hope you guys are doing good! It is so weird to see you guys and Austin in the same picture.... yikes! Hope everything is going good though! And thanks for the shoes, they came yesterday! Love you!

signed first edition
August 31, 1939
August 31, 1939. One page ALS written extensively on both verso and recto, signed by A.A. Milne as "Blue" , his nickname given to him by his son Christopher Robin, and elsewhere in his letter as "A.A. Milne". Dated "Aug 31st '39" , 5.5" x 7.5" on stationary with letterhead of Cotchford Farm, Hartfield, Sussex. Expected center fold. Tiny faded stain dot. Near fine condition.A highly revealing letter with lots to sleuth about. Milne first compares some of his more boisterous articles to that of Stephen P. H Butler Leacock, "Mr. Knox, he deliberately chose (or he told me the more "boisterous" - ie Leacockish - articles (burlesques and what not) as having been less reproduced than the others." At the time, Stephen P. H Butler Leacock was the best known English speaking humorist in the world. Such period examples of Leacock's humor are:Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl.Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.He flung himself from the room, flung himself upon his horse and rode madly off in all directions.So one can surmise from Milne's comment, that the chosen writing examples by Mr. Knox were using Milne's well known jocular humor. Further in the letter Milne also humorously laments that he sent an article to Punch magazine that was rejected by the editor who was unaware that the article was written by Milne. In his jocular accounting of this event Milne wrote :"But this will amuse you. In Punch this week is an article called The Organizer. I wrote it, at the persuasion of the family, it being exactly what happens here. Daff sent it up as by C.P. Brice from the address of a niece of mine, and it was rejected by return of post! I wrote to Knox , more in sorrow than in anger, to say that while I couldn't claim that anything I wrote was "good enough for Punch" it should be good enough for a few encouraging words from somebody, and that it was difficult for me to tell your writers that it was the work, and not the name which counted, if my own work was only accepted when signed"Milne's final travesty he describes in his letter was about land he was attempting to acquire in 1939 which was, unbeknownst to him, owned by Brian Thynne of Muntham Court, a family deeply trenched in UK history with the manor of Muntham dated back to the conquest. In Milne's letter he laments:"Here's another funny thing. I have been buying some land here which was said to be mortgaged to the Midland bank. Yesterday (after months of argument) my (illegible) sent the agreement drawn up as between A.A. Milne and --Brian Thynne of Muntham Court! WHY?"Brian Thynne, youngest son of Ulric Thynne, was the owner of the Victorian mansion, Muntham Court. Muntham had been home to several of the Thynne family, who were kinsmen to the Marquis of Bath. Brian became a well known aviator and from 1936 to 1939, Brian commanded 601 Squadron and in the latter year became a Fighter Command controller. He was made a CBE. After being demobbed from the RAF at the end of World War Two, his father gave him the sticky task of negotiating with the War Ministry for compensation for all the damage that had been inflicted by the military on Muntham Court during the war. It would appear that at this time Brian had placed Munthan on the market to sell (although it may have been parceled and split up) as Brian went off to live in Spain. However there is no record that Milne ever went through with the purchase.An incredibly intriguing letter spanning various unrelated events in Milne's life, none the less worthy of additional research!

Are You a Hero?
You probably don't consider yourself a hero. Well then, who would you consider a hero? Do you know any heroes? A few summers ago at Bible Camp I was teaching a teens' class on "Heroes." My first question to them was the same: "Who do you consider a hero?" Their answers were – you guessed it – people in the "popular press" a sports, movie, recording stars. But are they really heroes? No! That leads us to the question of who is a hero? [We'll use the masculine form, hero, to cover both genders.]
You can look up the word, but the meaning generally connotes courage; sacrifice – often sacrifice in the face of danger; acting for the greater good of others; often acting in acute, unexpected situations. You can see why with such a definition we often attribute "hero status" to soldiers or fire fighters, etc. Many other situations would also call for someone acting suddenly with the threat of personal danger. For example: someone diving into an icy pond to rescue a mother and child whose car has skidded into the water and is sinking.
Are the above examples the only way heroes can be described? The answer is "NO." Let me explain. Have you heard of "silent heroes;" "unknown heroes;" "everyday heroes;" a people doing heroic things who are not recognized and don't desire to be? No, you don't have to be recognized as a hero to be one. These are people who are putting others above themselves; serving others; sacrificing themselves [their time; their money; perhaps their health or even their job; etc.] – serving without any expectation of personal gain; not serving with the flare of one dramatic event, but over time by an ongoing series of small events. Do you know any people like this? Are you one? Then you are a hero! ---- [Example: The first example I think of are the caregivers for the aged, infirm, or handicapped of all types – family members or others. How about those who continually and sacrificially help the financially unfortunate; and then people who perform services for those who are needy – driving, physical chores, etc., and on and on? …..]
These qualities sound quite Biblical don't they? Well, they should!
n Matthew 20:28 – "Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many."
n Matthew 10:42 – "And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
Most of us will never be recognized as a hero by the world's standards. But so what! This is not what we should desire as Christ followers. We should desire to be the "silent hero" I depicted. There are many "silent heroes" among us. If you know them, follow their example! And tell them that they are your heroes and you're trying to follow their example – [Isn't this another trait of heroes – that people want to follow their example?]. Let us all strive to be this type of HERO!!
I conclude with one of my favorite quotes which relates somewhat to this topic. It is from President Theodore Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where those who do things could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who falls and comes up short again and again. But such a person has great enthusiasm and great devotion and spends himself in a worthy cause. At best he knows the triumph of high achievement. At the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. His place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have failed to try and know neither victory nor defeat."
* Frank Black

|Bankers, lawyers & NFLers
By Stacey Pressman
Special to Page 2
When I was a kid, my dad owned a maroon '75 Corvette with a T-top, tan leather bucket seats and a V8 engine. On weekends, he'd take me for drives out in the Connecticut country and introduce me to Corvette culture. Every time we'd pass another 'Vette, the drivers would give each other a wave -- not a full-out, prom-queen palm, just a quick lift of the hand along with a slight head tilt.
It was endearing. My dad was part of a club.
Nowadays, ESPN personality Chris Berman and I are a little like two Corvettes passing in the hallway. When we see each other, we break into the routine. We nod; he smiles and says, "Ahh, the Columbia Football Lions."
Then comes the one-upmanship.
"Did you see Sean Morey recover the fumble against Atlanta?" he'll say. Or, "You watch, the Patriots are going to activate Chas Gessner."
Berman oozes Brown pride. He's probably having some trouble coming to grips with the fact that J.J. Stokes replaced Brown alum Gessner on New England's active roster recently.
This week, I had nothing to come back at him with during our little repartee. My lone Columbia representative in the NFL -- the Chargers' Marcellus "Wildstyle" Wiley, my usual go-to guy in these exchanges -- received a 15-yard taunting penalty last Sunday against Denver. That wasn't going to impress Berman.
I could always go the Olsen twins route. After all, Ashley Olsen is dating Columbia's sophomore quarterback, Matt Kaplan. But far be it from me to sink that low.
This is college football's rivalry weekend, which means Brown and Columbia will meet for the 69th time. At stake? Fourth and fifth place in the Ivy League. Penn has already clinched the championship. Even "The Game" -- the 120th meeting between Harvard and Yale in the Yale Bowl on Saturday -- is only a quest for second place this year.
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's Ivy League football. Who cares?
But it's worth keeping in mind, as you watch Michigan's John Navarre throw to Braylon Edwards and Ohio State's Craig Krenzel throw to Michael Jenkins on Saturday, that Harvard played a pivotal role in the adoption of the forward pass 100 years ago. And that Princeton played the first intercollegiate football game (against Rutgers on Nov. 6, 1869). And that Walter Camp of Yale invented many of the rules and strategies of the modern game. And that three Ivy League players (Yale's Larry Kelley and Clint Frank in 1936 and '37, and Princeton's Dick Kazmaier in 1951) have won the Heisman Trophy, and that the trophy itself is named after an Ivy League coach.
The Ivy's eight schools -- Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton and Yale -- have helped shape what American football is today. Only in recent decades has the league struggled to maintain its athletic legitimacy against the nation's bigger schools, due partly to an Ivy League rule that prohibits the awarding of athletic scholarships.
But I'm here to tell you: It's getting better.
Thirteen Ivy players are currently on active NFL rosters. (It was 14 until the Patriots demoted Gessner to the practice squad.) That's a dramatic increase from the five Ivy Leaguers in the NFL in 1996. In fact, this season marks the first time in 75 years (since 1928) that all eight Ivy League schools are represented in the NFL at the same time.
Many of these guys aren't just filling roster spots. Miami quarterback Jay Fiedler has a 29-13 record as a starter. Matt Birk, the Vikings' center, is a two-time Pro Bowler. Jason Garrett has three Super Bowl rings. Wiley, one of the highest-paid defensive ends in the league, was a second-round draft pick who made the Pro Bowl his first season in San Diego. The 49ers' Eric Johnson had 76 receptions in his first two years.
As Mark Ross, a scout for the Eagles (and a Princeton grad), says "With the decrease in scholarships at Division I schools, the big programs can't hoard all of the players. Good players are now being spread around more to all divisions and schools. The Ivy League is just another conference that benefits."
It isn't as if the Ivy League-educated players need your sympathy, but they do sometimes struggle to find their place with a team off the field.
They all occasionally battle the perception that an Ivy League education means bad football, cardigan sweaters and the ability to quote Aristotle. They're a bit like Louis, Gilbert, and Arnold forming the Tri-Lams and fighting the Alpha Betas.
As Giants' O-lineman Jeff Hatch (Penn) puts it, "This (being an NFL player) is the only job in America where having an Ivy League degree can actually hurt you."
The Giants are the first team to carry three Ivy League players (Hatch, quarterback Jason Garrett and running back Jim Finn) since the 1980 Cincinnati Bengals' roster included Dick Jauron, Pat McInally and Reggie Williams. It's hard sometimes for these guys to earn respect.
"In practice, the guys always tell me that what I played in college wasn't real football," says Finn, a Penn grad. "I just tell them it's the exact same game they played in their conferences -- except that our schemes are a bit more complicated."
A few weeks ago, Hatch dragged rookie lineman and Ivy League harasser Dave Diehl across the Hudson River to Wien Stadium to see undefeated Penn play Columbia.
"He was impressed," said Hatch. "Who wouldn't be? Penn is going 10-0."
Wiley, the only Ivy Leaguer on the Chargers, says he constantly wards off remarks from teammates who tell him he's got no skills because he played his college ball against America's future lawyers, accountants and dentists, who all weighed 180 pounds.
"I hear it practically every damn day," he says. "Guys tell me that I played college football against a bunch of nerds. Don't they know it gets old after a while?"
Should you feel sorry for these guys? Yes, I know. That's a little like feeling bad for Howard Stern because he has to wake up every morning at 3 o'clock to make millions of dollars and hang out with naked women.
And that 3 a.m. part really sucks.

This year has been treating me very well so far! My website launch went down well, I got to shoot at the Savannah Volunteer Dental Clinic for their website
Then I got to shoot a group of traveling Aussies on a Contiki tour of the US while a fellow photographer friend of mine was out of town.
My next big thing was shooting for the Agape Empowerment Ministries 2nd anniversary. They had some guest speakers and performers and it was a very interesting, unique experience for me. I hope that I am invited back again when there are more great speakers to photograph.
other jobs have cropped up too, which is amazing, considering last year. Hopefully this year will be great!
I will have new photos to post this afternoon, actually!
meanwhile, I'm going to spend a good portion of the day doing search engine optimization on my website! hooray!

Day Seventy-three, Date Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Time in Saddle: Approx 5:50
Distance for the Day: 89.38 miles From Pierre Part To Norco
Accumulated Trip Distance: 3296.38 miles
Altitudes: Starting/Ending 308'/270', Highest: 374' Accumulated: 141'
Speeds: Avg: 10.3 mph, Max: 15.6 mph
Weather: low 70s to upper 80s and somewhat humid
Expenditures: $8
Got up at daylight. The homeowners never did show up; maybe this was a vacation home for them. I packed up quick, and took off by 7am. Within the first two hours along this long, mostly traffic-free road, I saved the lives of four turtles, one of which was as big around as a dinner plate. These guys get it in their tiny little heads to try crossing the street, so I picked 'em up and put 'em back in the swamp. Other than that, it was a kind of nasty travel day. I took a long route to get to New Orleans to try to see more of the region and the Mississippi, but only got to see interminable levees along long, circuitous routes. The levees, themselves, were always 'private property,' and could not be ridden on. To add insult to injury, the roads were mostly two-lane with no shoulder, and from mid-to-late afternoon were crowded with commute traffic coming out of huge plants; there was so much traffic, the plants had to supply their own traffic control people to allow their employees to exit their parking lots; I did get to see a few nice old Colonial plantation houses, and for most of the day, the roads were smooth and traffic-free; and I even got another quick lift across the Mississippi River on Hwy 70 in the early afternoon. I got to the town of La Place in the late afternoon, and found a local who was able to advise me on the best, fastest route to New Orleans; this would be Hwy 61; they also let me know about a couple of good places to hang my hammock for the night several miles along the highway. I found them, picked one, set up and had a good night's sleep, much needed after two previous nights of not much sleep. I set up my hammock between two trees; I'd lost a couple of lengths of spare hammock hanging ropes, but hanging from one of the trees I wanted to tie to was a nice rope someone had left there; I was able to retrieve and use it to hang my hammock! The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away, indeed! Oh, somehow during the day, I managed to wipe the memory on my cyclometer, so I not only have to manually calculate this day's mileage, I also have to manually calculate the Trip Distance from now on. Bummer. But, the good news was: I had a nice place to hang my hammock; I successfully fooled the gazillions of mosquitoes with the "walk away" trick, so with a single exception, they didn't get inside. I called Auntie M and instructed her how to extract the SD card from my dead CC Witness (it held all the albums I copied to listen to on this trip); I'll have her forward it to me when I find a good place for her to forward it, to. I slept from about 8:20pm peacefully and well the entire night.

These recipe is inspired by the very French Gratin Dauphinoise, typically made with thinly sliced and layered potatoes and cream.
But you know that when we see the word cream in a recipe, besides the calories, it usually has too much dairy, making it impossible to digest. For this low FODMAP gratin, I´ve created a light white sauce, inspired by the also very famous French béchamel sauce.

More Than Meets The Eye
Ten days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush was told in a highly classified briefing that the U.S. intelligence community had no evidence linking the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein to the attacks and that there was scant credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative ties with Al Qaeda, according to government records and current and former officials with firsthand knowledge of the matter. ........
Although the Senate Intelligence Committee and the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, commonly known as the 9/11 commission, pointed to incorrect CIA assessments on the WMD issue, they both also said that, for the most part, the CIA and other agencies did indeed provide policy makers with accurate information regarding the lack of evidence of ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq. .....................
The most explosive of allegations came from Cheney, who said that September 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta, the pilot of the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center, had met in Prague, in the Czech Republic, with a senior Iraqi intelligence agent, Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani, five months before the attacks. On December 9, 2001, Cheney said on NBC's Meet the Press: "[I]t's pretty well confirmed that [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in [the Czech Republic] last April, several months before the attack."
Cheney continued to make the charge, even after he was briefed, according to government records and officials, that both the CIA and the FBI discounted the possibility of such a meeting. .....Credit card and phone records appear to demonstrate that Atta was in Virginia Beach, Va., at the time of the alleged meeting, according to law enforcement and intelligence officials. Al-Ani, the Iraqi intelligence official with whom Atta was said to have met in Prague, was later taken into custody by U.S. authorities. He not only denied the report of the meeting with Atta, but said that he was not in Prague at the time of the supposed meeting, according to published reports.
In June 2004, the 9/11 commission concluded: "There have been reports that contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda also occurred after bin Laden had returned to Afghanistan, but they do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship. Two senior bin Laden associates have adamantly denied that any ties existed between Al Qaeda and Iraq. We have no credible evidence that Iraq and Al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States."
Regarding the alleged meeting in Prague, the commission concluded: "We do not believe that such a meeting occurred."
Still, Cheney did not concede the point. "We have never been able to prove that there was a connection to 9/11," Cheney said after the commission announced it could not find significant links between Al Qaeda and Iraq. But the vice president again pointed out the existence of a Czech intelligence service report that Atta and the Iraqi agent had met in Prague. "That's never been proved. But it's never been disproved," Cheney said. ................
Earlier this month, on November 14, the Pentagon's inspector general announced an investigation into whether Feith and others associated with the covert intelligence unit engaged in "unauthorized, unlawful, or inappropriate intelligence activities." In a statement, Feith said he is "confident" that investigators will conclude that his "office worked properly and in fact improved the intelligence product by asking good questions."
The Senate Intelligence Committee has also been conducting its own probe of the Pentagon unit. But as was first disclosed by The American Prospect in an article by reporter Laura Rozen, that probe had been hampered by a lack of cooperation from Feith and the Pentagon.
Internal Pentagon records show not only that the small Pentagon unit had the ear of the highest officials in the government, but also that Rumsfeld and others considered the unit as a virtual alternative to intelligence analyses provided by the CIA. ..............The Plame affair was not so much a reflection of any personal animus toward Wilson or Plame, says one former senior administration official who knows most of the principals involved, but rather the direct result of long-standing antipathy toward the CIA by Cheney, Libby, and others involved. They viewed Wilson's outspoken criticism of the Bush administration as an indirect attack by the spy agency.
Those grievances were also perhaps illustrated by comments that Vice President Cheney himself wrote on one of Feith's reports detailing purported evidence of links between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. In barely legible handwriting, Cheney wrote in the margin of the report:
"This is very good indeed … Encouraging … Not like the crap we are all so used to getting out of CIA."

Well, the data don't back me up.
The General Social Survey has asked people about their living situation since the mid-70s. I calculated the percent of single men ages 25-40 who live with their parents by decade. Here are the results:
Percent of single men ages 25-40 living with parents
1970s 24.2
1980s 21.9
1990s 13.9
2000s 13.4
So, what is going on? My guess is that, compared to the 70s, many more single men are cohabiting with a girlfriend now. Guys who had a job but didn't earn enough for their own place now can head their own household with a female partner.
It might also be that a single man in the 25-40 age range was more likely in the 70s to be someone who lacked the ability to have a decent job and to get married. More single men now are capable but are not in a hurry to settle down. In other words, the average single guy these days has more going for him compared to a few decades ago.

Living in an apartment is not particularly conducive to getting married, as opposed to sex.ReplyDelete
More likely, the # of women getting married is slightly declining, but the # of men getting married is declining quite a bit. Particularly as America ages.
IF women prefer men 6 years older or so, then as birth rates continuously decline, they'll still have their pick of men, but a number of men in that older generation will be left out.
What Hollywood is probably picking up on, is that many men can't afford to get married. Which they for dramatic purposes stage as living with parents.
Doing so among say, Chinese men into their mid or late twenties allows a build up of a nest egg for a home purchase, which makes a Chinese man more attractive to a Chinese woman than say, a man without a house. It's obvious wealth.
My guess is most men are not "settling down later" but are priced out the marriage market and use long-term substitutes: video games, porn, etc. This is probably worst in places like California, Florida, and other expensive real estate markets. Steve Sailer points out that cheap real estate = affordable family formation.
A guy who owns his own house is instantly more attractive than if he did not.
The state of Marriage stats out of Census Bureau is just awful. I've blogged about it here: link.
Demographers have seen this effect before, Ireland after the famine had marriage rates shoot up to say, first marriage in their late twenties / early thirties.
And ... we live in a different world now. The pill, the Condom, the acceptance of casual sex, abortion all allow women to lead lives of sexual freedom, particularly earning their own money. Many are choosing single motherhood as the White illegitimacy rate at 34% suggests.
In other words the rise of the "Child Man" is an insulting inversion of the truth.ReplyDelete
If you add Whiskey's figures to RG's figures, it seems quite possible that there are more long-term bachelors today living with Mom than in the past. A smaller proportion of single men live that way, but there are many more long-term single men. And if you add in declining average household size then a greatly increasing proportion of multi-person households will follow the aging Mom/loser son pattern. Or so I speculate, although it would be nice to see figures.ReplyDelete
I'd like to see an experiment conducted on primates that simulates the effect on mating that "liberal democratic" (ie: tyranny of the majority over-ruled by a laundry list of minority rights selectively enforced by an elite minority) governments have on humans.ReplyDelete
Essentially, what you do is take some beta males and wire the environment so that all other males are subjected to the following reinforcement schedule:
If there is any conflict between a male and a female, and the male engages in any act of physical aggression, have some lab workers in monkey suits come in, throw him into a cage and sodomize him into submission -- then let him out.
Yes Jason, that was absolute BUNK. There is no "rise of the Child Man," rather, as suggested in NBC's "Chuck" there is the following factors involved (it's a great show for these reasons btw):ReplyDelete
1. Declining relative income -- "Chuck" is screwed over by an "Alpha" male and framed for cheating at Stanford, kicked out and working at a "Buy More" aka Best Buy parody. He lives with his sister, instead of being a Stanford grad big shot.
2. He's low testosterone, high IQ, and loses out compared to the guys he loses out various women to in part because of his lower testosterone. [His sister is engaged to a high-testosterone WASP risk-taker, mountain biking, skydiving, etc.]
Jim -- I don't know what other primates would tell us because humans differ in two huge aspects: tool making specialization in ever increasing complexity, and culture including the written and spoken word, images. The latter having a huge and powerful effect on humans (as a unifying force beyond biological ties).
A more interesting example would be deep comparative studies between Japan (where Japanese women are largely opting out of having kids and getting married), China, the US, and Europe. Comparing say, testosterone levels in men, relative freedom economically and sexually for women, relative income between men and women, and "the grandmother effect," i.e. older female relatives who have sway over women considering possible suitors (who might lack in testosterone but could be better long-term mates).
I think Steve Sailer's observation (that minority rights and "racism" is used by high status elites to block lower status whites) mixed with Takuan Seiyo's post at brussellsjournal.com "Europe's first suicide" are responsible for the mess today. Loss of civilizational confidence caused by the morass of death and destruction in the First World War and cleaned up by the Second.
It's not impossible that the widespread belief that adult men who live with their parents are losers has contributed to the decline in such arrangements. Some men who might otherwise be content with living in Mom and Dad's house will feel compelled to get places of their own, lest people - especially women they meet - think of them as losers.ReplyDelete
Lot more stoned-out hippies in 1970. Tuning in, turning on, and dropping out is no longer a meme among young people, thank God.ReplyDelete

Don't you think the mid-20s guys who are shacking up with their girlfriends today would have been *marrying* them back in the 70s?
The data you show are pretty mysterious. I think Peter's explanation is the best on offer here:
"It's not impossible that the widespread belief that adult men who live with their parents are losers has contributed to the decline in such arrangements."
Yeah, a guy living with his parents in the 70s might have been considered a very sweet, dutiful son helping his elderly parents: not a Alpha (to use Roissy's terms), but a very good Beta and an excellent candidate Dad.

The tourism and hospitality sector, together with the growing forms of leisure developments, is one of the principal pillars of the Spanish economy, in which the firm advises numerous companies and has participated in the principal transactions that have been carried out. Our experience includes advice to various types of companies, including hotel companies, tour operators, receptive operators, airlines (charter and regularly-scheduled), each one, and especially the business in which they operate, subject to different peculiarities.
Within the matters and/or problems that play an important role in this sector are regulatory matters and the obtaining of licenses, as well as real property aspects. Thanks to the liberalization of the licensing scheme driven by the European Union and implemented in Spain through the well-known Omnibus Act, the requirement of licenses for tourism projects has been made easier, but there continue to be numerous phases in which obtaining the pertinent license and its parameters and conditioning factors are vital for the success of the project.
The advice we provide not only focuses on Spain but many times we accompany our clients in the operations they carry out abroad.
Our firm has interdisciplinary teams capable of providing a rapid solution to the principal questions posed in this sector, including the following:

Glamming Up Your Furniture With Nailheads
While thumbing through an old issue of House Beautiful, I came across the "Everywhere We Look" feature on nailheads. According to House Beautiful, "nailheads are furniture's new jewelry". After looking at these photos I must say, I agree!
This is a side table decorated with shiny "embroidered" belt of metal studs. It's called the Istanbul Side Table also by Shine Home, $910
Next, is the Albemarle Dining Chair by Barry Dixon Collection for Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth, $2,725. Take a look at this chair's back. This is an updated version of a popular chair made in the 40's and 50's.
What a beautiful cabinet! Visconti Large Cabinet, $2,250 by Bungalow5
You can even have a stylish wastebasket! Not only are the nailheads decorative but it's also used to protect the edges from wear and tear. Brown "Crocodile" Nailhead Wastebasket, $97 Dransfield & Ross
This Safari Mirror is covered in brown leather with antique brass nail head trim. $2,169. Ralph Lauren Home
As you can see, when decorating with nailheads the possibilities are endless. Best of all, it's easy to do. All you need is a magnetic nylon tip hammer (the nylon tip prevents damage to the decorative nailhead), decorative nailheads of your choice, and a nail spacer (helps to space nailheads neatly and evenly). To save time, consider using nailhead trim strips instead of individual nailheads.

Barney can't talk but the Pasco cat helped catch a suspected car thief over the weekend.
Pasco police were called Saturday night to investigate a suspicious car on the 4800 block of Tamarisk Drive.
Ashley D. Younger, 31, of Pasco, was in the car, along with Barney. Younger claimed it was a friend's car and that she'd found Barney in Richland.
Barney ended up being taken to the Tri-Cities Animal Shelter.
The next day, Barney's owner called police to report that her car was stolen while she was out of town on vacation. The thieves also took Barney and some items from her garage.
A caring neighbor agreed to help rescue Barney from the animal shelter and claim the stolen car until the owner could return to town.
The Pasco police later arrested Younger on suspicion of possessing a stolen car.

Leader of civil society and human rights defenders have urged the Nepalese development partners to make human rights a condition on any of their support to the government. The organizer took the initiative targeting the Nepal Development Forum to be held around mid May.
The activists, who have come together under an ad-hoc Accountability Watch Committee, interacted with the representatives of major donors on Thursday and urged them not to be misguided by the false assessment of the government that human rights situation has been improved. The interaction was participated by over a dozen representatives from bilateral and multilateral donor agencies including US Embassy, European Union, who agreed that development and human rights should not be dealt separately.

An interesting development has occurred at work. There was a posting for a position as a Relief Floor Manager, which basically means you are in charge of the running of the casino. Above that is the Shift Manager. I was not going to apply this time around, because last time I did, I was told that I did not have enough "continuous gaming experience", since I had quit for so many years and only recently came back to the casino industry.
However, somebody from Head Office REQUESTED that I apply, which I found strange. Perhaps he sees something in me. If I somehow manage to secure this position it will mean a lot of responsibilities, and perhaps a lot of "enemies", considering I'd only been back to the casino industry for 6 months. Granted, I have a total of nine years casino experience, but that has been divided into stints of 5.5 years, 3 years and .5 years. But who knows, maybe I'll become the boss soon! I'll probably have to go through an interview process, but we'll see.
In the meantime, I hope everybody has a Merry Christmas!

Follow @vintagepc
In Rock Tour you'll choose one of five different up-and-coming bands to manage – three of which have to be unlocked. The band will start small, playing local gigs with tiny audiences, but will slowly gain fans and enough acclaim to move to bigger and better venues. That is, if you can keep everything together.
There's a whole lot to juggle in the game. First, you'll have to book the band a steady stream of shows for them to earn money and fans, which is done by clicking the star icons that appear on a map. From there, you can select which songs the band performs, set a ticket price, and decide whether to invest in advertising to potentially increase the audience turnout.
But all will be for nothing if the band doesn't put on a good show, and it's also up to you to make sure that this happens. You can click on any of the five band members to make them practice their instrument to increase their skill level, or to rehearse particular songs. You can visit the shop to buy better instruments and more bombastic props to improve the band's image, or surf over to the band's message board to see what the public is saying about them.
Your band will write new songs occasionally, and you can record these to make a CD to bring in additional revenue. At high profile shows, you can even watch the band perform their signature song. You start out as wannabees, but as you garner more fame you'll move up the ranks, and your small local map will expand to include the entire state and eventually neighboring states as well as your fanbase grows to neighboring cities.
Each band you manage has its own members with unique personalities, a storyline of sorts, and a goal to work towards, which might include getting a certain number of fans, or achieving a certain band star rating.
Rock Tour is a very thorough game that leaves almost no stone unturned in tapping into the business of rock n' roll, but in a way that's one of the game's major foibles as well – it's just too complicated. The 49-part tutorial burdens the player with an overwhelming amount of information right at the start of the game instead of pacing it out and allowing the player to learn by doing, which is something that other no less complicated strategy games, most notably Build-a-lot, have mastered. If you forget how to do something – and you will unless you were taking notes – you'll have to wade through verbose help files to try to find the answer.
