Zooming FE-280 camera - Worked great for about 2 weeks. While on vacation developed a problem - when you turn the camera on the lens goes in and out like it is trying to focus.

I have a D90 and I just got, used, a 50 mm f/1.4 D lens. The lens motor sounds like it is working, but only moves the lens a small amount. Not enough to properly auto focus. It will manually focus, but the movement is not as free as another 50 mm lens I compared it to. Yes, I could bring it back, but if there is a simple fix, I'd like to do that.
Unless you have a lens collimator and other equipment, do not try to take the lens apart yourself. Take the lens in to a reputable camera shop and have their repair department do a CLA (clean-lube-adjust) on the lens. ... Nikon D80 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens

During that time, Hussein's father, Mohamed Farrah Aidid, stayed in Somalia, became a general, went totally nuts, and took over a whole chunk of the country. Hussein originally served as a liaison between the U.S. military and his dad, but when the senior Aidid started ambushing UN Peacekeepers and became an official enemy of the United States, his son was sent back home to California, where he took up a job as a clerk in the West Covina Planning Department.
A few months later, U.S. Army Rangers swooped into Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, to capture General Aidid's top lieutenants during an asshole convention at the Olympic Hotel. You know how well that turned out if you've seen the movie Black Hawk Down.
It was like Zack Snyder and Michael Bay had a baby is what we're saying.
When the battle was over, with catastrophic losses to the American side and one downed pilot captured, General Aidid promptly declared himself the President of Somalia. The next day, Hussein got one hell of an excuse to leave work early. Soldiers came to the West Covina planning department while Hussein was mapping bike paths and carted him off to a military base. A Marine commander then asked Hussein to write a letter asking his dad to, pretty please, release the captive pilot.

LOS ANGELES — The Calgary Flames haven't spent much time in a Western Conference playoff position this season. Now they have moved above the postseason cutoff, they will be counting on goalie Miikka Kiprusoff to keep them there.
Kiprusoff made 28 saves for his 44th NHL shutout and fourth this season, Michael Cammalleri scored early in the third period against his former team, and the Flames beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 on Saturday night.
Kiprusoff passed Turk Broda on the career victory list with his 303rd, tying Olaf Kolzig for 24th place and putting him within two wins of Billy Smith. The Flames haven't allowed more than three goals in their last 13 games.
"They were ready and they were coming," Flames captain Jarome Iginla said. "There's no question that they had a big push in those first 10 minutes and outplayed us in the first period. But Kip played great, and we were able to weather that storm and come out zero-zero. That could have been a different game if Kip's not great and we don't find a way to pull it together."
Kiprusoff, who won the Vezina Trophy in 2006, is 26-17-5 with a 2.23 goals-against average. He has allowed fewer than three goals in 11 of his last 15 starts.
"He's played as good as I've seen him play in his career — and that's counting the Vezina year," Iginla said. "He's been outstanding all year, and he's enjoying it — this climbing back up in the playoff race. So he's really into it. He doesn't mind that each game is tight because he loves to compete. Tonight, he made some tough saves, especially early."
The Kings haven't scored more than two goals in their last eight home games against Calgary. The Kings are tied with the Flames for eighth place in the West, but have one fewer win. Both teams have played 59 games.
"We've been in this situation the last two years, so it's no different now," Brown said. "The last couple years, we've been battling for a playoff spot. As frustrating as these last two games have been, offensively, we've got to refocus. We play Phoenix on Tuesday. We can't sit here and talk about what-ifs. We've got games to play."
Jonathan Quick faced 18 shots and took another tough loss. Los Angeles has been beaten 1-0 in back-to-back games and five times this season. The Kings have eight shutout losses overall.
"It's been the same thing for this team all year —finding ways to score goals," captain Dustin Brown said. "We've been shut out in back-to-back 1-0 games at home against teams that are two points behind us in both cases (including Phoenix). Tonight we had some really good chances. It's definitely frustrating, and it's been frustrating all year. I don't want to say we didn't work hard — we did."
The Kings held the Flames to one shot through the first 9 1/2 minutes, and allowed only one through the first 18:24 of the second. Overall, they outshot Calgary 28-18, the seventh straight game in which the Flames' opponents had the advantage.
But Cammalleri, who spent his first five NHL seasons with the Kings, snapped the deadlock at 4:03 of the third with the Flames' first shot of the period. He banged in his 14th goal from just outside the crease after Quick reached out to deflect a centering pass by Tom Kostopoulos, who shook off a hard check from Dwight King in the right corner as he passed the puck.
"Tommy made a good shift to get around him," Cammalleri said, "and then I was yelling at him: `Just throw it to the net!' And as I yelled it, I realized that he was going to have to extend and put himself in a vulnerable position to it. But he did it, anyway. That's Tommy Kostopolous."
In nine career games against the Kings, Cammalleri has five goals and three assists.
"It feels good," he said. "I still have close ties here in L.A. It's where I started my career, and I played more years here than I played anywhere else. So it's fun to win here."

libgdx and daydream vr
sample of using libgdx to produce dual display for VR headset, in this case Daydream View. Not a library so you can see camera displacement when rendering to offset one eye along with two render operations to a framebuffer followed by use of shader to alter final frame.
This is essentially standard libgdx, using a shader to handle lens distort, otherwise straight lines would be warped. The android version uses the handheld controller to move the player around the small world along with spacial audio, via the Google VR SDK. The code for this is just in the bespoke Android module.
While desktop version uses arrow keys and spacebar to move along with some basic stereo audio using libgdx apis.
For the HTML version there is a very basic use of device orientation to move player view, but without allowing movement. It looks possible to integrate Daydream handheld controller with HTML version, see https://github.com/mrdoob/daydream-controller.js though I've not tired it. HTML version was really to check project is as close as possible to being able to work on ios. Though like HTML version I don't see official support for handheld controller. Got around full screen problem when viewed on browser but sound does not work on mobile browser as not driven by user interaction.

"Is it worth the paperwork?" Campfire Tales From Hell
Evening in Bellevue. I had promised Kelly I'd be there for no-gi tonight. I failed to account for an hour and a half trapped in gridlock on 520. I shuffled in halfway through the class. Carlos glared at the clock and then glared at me. I apologized to him, then to Kelly. I was just in time to do two spars in a row with Prof. Herbert (I must be making the most awful impression on this guy) and a half of one with Carlos (he had to quit because his lip was bleeding- not my fault, the guy he was rolling with before me).
Because it seemed nonsensical to spend an hour and a half in traffic for two and a half rolls, I stayed for Advanced Class. Prof. Herbert was teaching, which was interesting because he has almost no English. They did the same thing to Carlos when he first got here, though- they just threw him in and we all had to muddle through it together, but he caught on pretty fast. The only real problem presents when somebody has a question. Then it becomes kind of impossible.
Herbert must be a judo guy…. of course all BJJ black belts do masterful throws, but after you've been around a while, you can still tell the judo guys. They got it goin' on.
Shoulder throw setups. Do not wrap opponent's arm around your own neck when you turn. Jerk hir arm down hard with your sleeve grip as you punch upward forcefully with the other arm, socketing opponent's bicep into your bent-elbowed "nutcracker" grip. The hip contact was rather emphatic as well (I was wincing during the demo, hoping that poor Prof. Doug was wearing a cup tonight). I think I did mostly okay with this, as after one correction on my not-enthusiastic-enough upward punch, the other black belt guy (whose name I did not catch) simply stood over me and harrangued me to go faster, faster, faster, faster!! He had a million corrections for Kelly, whom I could tell was beginning to get a little frustrated. But hell, throws are complicated! It takes a lot of practice. I'm really glad for my previous experience with them, even if there are sometimes details that the BJJ teachers want done differently.
Standup, judo grips. The side that you are holding the lapel, that's the foot you want in front. Take your hand off the lapel and switch it to the wrist of opponent's hand (where s/he is holding YOUR lapel). Take your other hand off opponent's elbow and grab your OWN lapel just below hir grip. Step back with the same-side foot and snap your hips and entire torso to the side as you jerk the opponent's lapel grip off you. Now twirl in and shoulder throw on opponent's OTHER shoulder… the side that s/he was not gripping the lapel. That took coordination, especially to do it fast.
We spent 3/4 of the class on this throw. Then….
Butterfly guard pass (Herbert says "gward" just like Enrique! Hee hee). Place your right arm under opponent's left knee and grip the pants near the knee on hir right leg. Press your chest down on the knees and force them to the floor on your left. Place your forehead right on the mat. Now twitch your legs out and stretch them behind your so that you can tiptoe around to the opponent's side. As you get over there, grab hir cuff with left hand and use that hold plus the one you still have on hir knees (this hold has not budged) to stretch hir out- helped along with the press of your head, which you now move from the mat to hir side. To end this drill and go to the next rep, we cartwheeled to the other side. Prof Herbert praised my cartwheel. (Score! I only took a few years of gymnastics as a grade-schooler, but it still comes in handy. Most other people had a lot of trouble with this.)
A little positional training from butterfly gward. On the last portion, I said, "Sorry about this," to Kelly and started pushing her head around- first up so that I could pass, then down to the mat so that I could pull my foot out of her half guard.
Kelly: "It's ok, don't apologize."
Kitsune: "This is kind of mean."
Kelly: "But you need to do more of that."
Kitsune: "….."
Kelly: "Whenever you say "sorry" to me, it's after you just did something really effective."

May 5 @ 5pm
All the community is invited to join us and participate together as we join the rest of the nation in lifting our prayers to Almighty God in Heaven.
Light refreshments will be served!

We have designated monthly times set aside for fasting and prayer. The church is open at 9am on 1st Friday of the month for Ministering to the Lord in prayer, with Corporate Prayer starting at 5pm. Fasting is a basic discipline of a Christian's life that yields great spiritual results such as, "loosing the bonds of wickedness, undoing the bands of the yoke and letting the oppressed go free and breaking every yoke", Isaiah 58:6. If you want to learn more about fasting, please let us know and we will be glad to talk with you.

A parole revocation hearing is a hearing before a member of the Colorado State Board of Parole to determine whether parole should be taken away after an inmate has already been released on parole, and the inmate returned to custody. In this article, our Colorado criminal defense lawyers will address:
- 1. What is a "revocation hearing" in Colorado?
- 2. Can the board take back parole after I am already out on parole?
- 3. Can I be arrested by a parole officer?
- 4. Can my lawyer represent me during a revocation hearing?
- 5. What happens after a revocation hearing?
You may also wish to see our articles on application interviews before the Colorado Parole Board and parole recission hearings in Colorado.
1. What is a revocation hearing in Colorado?
After an inmate has been released on parole, that release can be taken back and the inmate returned to incarceration, if it is found that the inmate has not followed the conditions of parole. A revocation hearing is a hearing to determine whether parole should be taken back, or "revoked."1
A revocation hearing is held before one member of the Colorado State Parole Board. The parolee is entitled to basic fairness, but sometimes evidence that would not be admissible at a trial can be admitted at a revocation hearing. Strict rules of evidence that apply in a court of law do not always have to be followed at a revocation hearing, where the parole board member can hear any evidence that is of value in proving or disproving any part of the case.2
2. Can the board take back parole after I am already out on parole?
Yes. Even after an inmate has been released on parole, the inmate could be sent back to incarceration, if he or she fails to comply with the conditions of parole. For example, possession of a firearm by a previous offender, commission of a new offense including a drug felony, or removal of an electronic monitoring device are violations that require the parole officer to file a complaint for revocation.3
Each inmate released on parole is required to follow specific conditions of a parole agreement in order to remain on parole, and is assigned a parole officer who will monitor whether the conditions are followed or violated. If the inmate violates a condition of the parole agreement, the parole officer or anyone else aware of the violation can report it.
If a condition is violated, the parole officer may and in some instances must file a complaint for a revocation hearing, and the parole board can revoke parole. Some violations without an underlying criminal offense may result in other measures, such as a talk with the parole officer, substance abuse treatment, or a brief period in jail, while for other violations the parole officer must file for a revocation hearing.
Common conditions of parole supervision, which can be changed or added to by the parole officer or parole board, include:
- Release: Upon release from the institution, parolee shall go directly to designated parole office.
- Residence: Parolee shall establish a residence of record and shall reside at such residence in fact and on record; shall remain at residence of record each night unless otherwise authorized by the parole officer; parolee shall not change residence of record without the consent of the parole officer; and shall not leave the area paroled to without permission of the parole officer.
- Conduct: Parolee shall obey all State/Federal laws and Municipal ordinances. Parolee shall follow the directives of the parole officer at all times.
- Report: Parolee shall make written and in person reports as directed to the parole officer and shall permit visits to his/her place of residence as required by the parole officer/parolee shall submit urinalysis or other tests for narcotics or chemical agents upon the request of the parole officer, and is required to pay for all tests.
- Weapons: Parolee shall not own, possess, nor have under his control or his custody, firearms or other deadly weapons.
- Association: Parolee shall not associate with any person with a criminal record without the permission of the parole officer.
- Employment: Parolee shall seek and obtain employment, or shall participate in a full time educational or vocational program, unless waived by the parole officer.
- Alcohol/Drugs: Parolee shall not abuse alcoholic beverages, medical or recreational marijuana or possess and/or use illegal drugs.
- Child Support: Parolee shall comply with any court or administrative order to pay child support.4
In general, if the violation is a technical one and there is no criminal offense underlying the violation, a parole officer must consider intermediate sanctions, drug treatment or other support services, or modification of parole conditions, before filing a revocation complaint.5
But if the parolee has received up to four intermediate sanctions committing the parolee to a brief term in jail, or if there is a heightened risk to public safety, the parole officer may bypass intermediate sanctions and file a complaint for revocation.6
In addition, if a parolee fails more than one drug test, a parole officer may make an immediate warrantless arrest, and may seek parole revocation.7
There are also situations that are seen as so dangerous to public safety, that the parole officer has no discretion if such situations occur and is required to file a complaint seeking revocation. These situations are when the parolee:
- Is found in possession of a deadly weapon,
- Is arrested and charged with:
- A felony,
- A misdemeanor assault involving a deadly weapon or resulting in bodily injury,
- Sexual assault in the third degree, or
- Unlawful sexual contact, or
- Has removed or tampered with an electronic monitoring device (as long as this was not the result of equipment malfunction).8
A criminal court case may also be held, in which case the revocation hearing will be delayed until the case is finished.9
If the board member finds the parolee guilty of any of the above but decides not to revoke parole, the hearing will be reviewed by two more board members, who can overturn that decision and revoke parole.10
Violating the conditions of parole, intentionally or unintentionally, can have serious consequences, and there are many ways a parolee can end up having parole revoked and being returned to custody.
3. Can I be arrested by a parole officer?
Yes. Any parole officer can arrest a parolee for a number of reasons, based on things the parolee does while on parole, or might do.
For example, a parole officer can arrest a parolee if the parole officer has probable cause to believe that:
- the parolee has committed a crime,
- is about to leave the state,
- has violated a condition of parole and will fail to appear before the board to answer charges, or
- has committed a technical violation of parole where no criminal offense was involved but the parole officer has already tried intermediate sanctions, treatment, and support services.11
A parole officer can also arrest a parolee based on reasonable belief that the arrest is necessary to:
- prevent serious bodily injury to the parolee or any other person, or
- to prevent the commission of a crime.12
Whenever a parole officer has reasonable grounds to believe that a parolee has violated a condition of parole, instead of arresting the parolee, the parole officer may issue a summons requiring the parolee to appear before the board.13 But if a parolee is arrested, the parole officer has 10 days in which to:
- file a complaint to the parole board for revocation of parole,
- order the release of the parolee and restore parole, or
- order the release of the parolee and issue a summons requiring the parolee to appear before the board to answer charges of violating the conditions of parole. 14
If a parolee is arrested while on parole, parole might be revoked at a revocation hearing, and the offender returned to incarceration.
4. Can my lawyer represent me during a revocation hearing?
Yes. The parolee will receive a copy of the revocation complaint and will need to plead guilty or not guilty at the revocation hearing. The parolee can be represented by his or her lawyer, and may testify and present witnesses and evidence.15
For example, the parolee may testify or not, and the parolee or lawyer
- can defend against the parole violation charges with witnesses or documents,
- can show mitigating circumstances, or
- can explain the parolee's behavior and argue that parole should not be revoked or should be modified.16
Any evidence can be admissible at a revocation hearing if it helps prove any fact on either side, even if it wouldn't be admissible in court, as long as the parolee is given a fair opportunity to rebut hearsay evidence. The parolee has the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses, unless the parole board finds good cause for not allowing confrontation of an informer.17
If the parolee pleads not guilty at the revocation hearing, the division of adult parole will have the burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the evidence, that parole was violated. Or, if the complaint for revocation alleges a criminal offense, this must be established beyond a reasonable doubt, unless the parolee was convicted in a criminal proceeding.18 If the parolee is convicted of a criminal offense while on parole, this will be seen as conclusive proof of a parole violation.19
If parole is revoked, the parolee or the parolee's attorney can appeal the parole revocation, within 30 days of the revocation hearing. The parolee will remain in custody during the appeal.20
A lawyer can represent a parolee during and after a revocation hearing, such as to argue that the parolee did not violate parole, or that there were special circumstances, to present or cross-examine witnesses, or to file an appeal if parole is revoked.
5. What happens after a revocation hearing?
After a revocation hearing, the parole board might revoke parole and send the parolee back to custody for the rest of the term of parole, or for a shorter amount of time, depending on the type of parole violation. Or, parole might be modified in some way, such as to send the parolee to drug treatment.
If the board determines that the parolee violated conditions of parole, the board has 5 working days to:
- revoke parole,
- continue parole, or
- modify the conditions of parole.21
If the presiding board member decides not to revoke parole, the hearing will be reviewed by two more board members, who can overturn that decision and revoke parole.
If a violation is found
If the board decides that the parolee violated parole by committing a crime, the board can revoke parole and send the parolee to custody for up to the remainder of the parole period.22 If the board decides that parole was violated but not through a crime, parole can still be revoked and the parolee returned to custody for the rest of the parole period.23
If parole was violated through certain types of drug offenses, and there is no pending felony criminal charge, parole can be revoked and the parolee can be kept in custody for up to 30 or 90 days depending on the type of drug charge.24 These exceptions with a shorter incarceration term do not apply in the case of stalking or unlawful sexual behavior, or if the parolee is found to be a sexually violent predator. In those cases, if the board revokes parole, the parolee can be returned to incarceration for up to the full remainder of the parole period.25
Another possible outcome after a revocation hearing is that the board might determine that the parolee is in need of treatment. If so, the board can modify the parole conditions to include participation in an outpatient or residential program for
- substance abuse,
- mental health disorders, or
- other behavioral health disorders.26
There could also be instances where the parolee might request that parole be revoked. If this happens, the parolee has to give the board a justifiable reason for requesting revocation of parole,27 and the board may intervene to assist the parolee with reintegration and prevent a return to incarceration.28 Or, if the board does revoke parole at the request of the parolee, the above rules will still apply.29
In any case, if parole is revoked, parolee's time in custody does not erase the parolee's remaining period of parole, unless the term of custody is the same amount of time as the remaining period of parole.30
There are a variety of outcomes possible after a revocation hearing, depending on circumstances such as the type of parole violation that the parolee committed.
If you are facing a revocation hearing, or think that you may have violated a condition of your parole, or have been arrested while on parole, talk to your lawyer. Your Colorado criminal defense attorney can tell you more about the process and what options you have.

If you have the choice between performing a task in the same painful manner you always do or taking the time to invent a better way, always opt for the latter. If you can afford to invent in spite of deadlines, resources or the status quo, then do it. Time saved down the road often outweighs the time invested now. If you fail to make a better system, at least you tried and will know better next time. A slap on the hand is totally worth it in the scheme of things.
Tag Archives: Risk
Trial & Error
Trial & error has two parts: trial and error. You must accept both before you embark on an experiment. Stand behind both as they happen. Separate yourself emotionally from failure – few experiments in this world have great batting averages. Remind yourself that every action comes with a reaction you often cannot control. Have fun with it.
Do Not Be Afraid To Lose
Contemporary academia leaves little to no room for error. With grades and tuition on the line, failure is not acceptable. We were all raised to think this way, perhaps the single greatest fault of contemporary education. Individuals deeply ingrained in the academic world have even less tolerance for failure. You cannot genuinely innovate when you need to ask permission for everything or need to meet a rubric. We need to have freedom – permission to make mistakes – before we can truly change the world.
Seth Godin calls this 'guts' – a trait far more admirable than perfectionism or a no-tolerance policy. We can all respect high batting averages; we cannot always respect the methods behind high batting averages. At the end of the day, we pay more attention to home runs than high batting averages anyway. To hit home runs? Swing with everything you've got – even at the risk of missing the ball. You may lose the game if you miss, but you cannot win unless you swing.
by William Arthur Ward
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement, To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return, To live is to risk dying, To hope is to risk despair, To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
And the realist adjusts the sails.
Savings: The Game
Yes, savings are difficult to accrue. It takes discipline, commitment, and a passion to see numbers grow. I treat my savings like a game: I want to get the high score. With online banking, it's easier than ever to convince yourself those numbers are points on a leader board. Have fun with it and take pleasure knowing your high score means something real.
If you are living paycheck to paycheck, you need to find a way to make more money or live cheaper. And who really wants to live cheaper? Negotiate a raise, yo! But we'll save that conversation for another time.
Get Dirty
Why not get dirty now? Dive into something you've never done before. You do not have to cover yourself in sand to learn about how the world works, but you do need to take chances outside your element. Make it a game, use your imagination. Love learning again. Love adventure again. Get dirty and have fun.

Most businesses operate and finance on a perpetual study of what has been profitable before. Makes sense, doesn't it? "This product worked well for us, so let's keep producing it and continue to make money from it." Risks, if ever taken, are informed by thorough analysis of previous ventures. The result? Only marginal improvements to products and a gruelingly slow roll-out of human progress. Version 1.1 instead of version 2.0, because any business person knows that they can milk extra money out of every marginal improvement between 1.0 and 2.0.
Sure, this practice is brilliant for driving revenue and safely building businesses. But it's regressive for human progress. It involves a constant study and reincorporation of what has already been done rather than what has never been done before. It promotes recycling culture, recycling ideas, and holding human potential back. Hollywood has become notorious for this.
We're stuck on old models, old cash cows, and the golden hens of yore. Our world could "go green" if gas and vehicle companies stop preventing that progress in an effort to perpetuate profits. Our world could connect with other worlds if financiers see space exploration as more than an "investment." Our world could cure disease indefinitely if pharmaceutical companies surrender their lust for the daily medication business. Our world could do so much more if money wasn't tugging at our reins. We could do so much more together.
The few making blind leaps of faith are independent entrepreneurs and inventors, working out of their garage after hours to compete for the next big thing. These heroes of our future are pushing buttons few large players dare push. Inventors have played an instrumental role in American history and will continue to define our future. Strapped for cash and time, these men and women really need support to push their visions forward. Unfortunately, they often look to the worst place possible for help: big companies. Why the worst place? The big boys swoop in to buy and ingest the little guys, taking control of the invention and platforming incremental versions to maximize market potential. We fall back where we started.
The entrepreneurs of today are trained (mostly by business leaders, mind you) to have an "exit strategy" – sell your company, publicly or to a larger company. We have been trained to give up our ideas and business in exchange for cash. We have been taught to sell away the future we are building for mankind. Many companies today have become dependent on acquiring small players and have completely disbanded their research & development departments altogether. These companies don't even bother developing incremental improvements while they wait for the next great purchase. In the good old days, big companies had all the resources AND the best talent to produce great product. Now, the best talent invents on the outside and struggles for capital while companies stockpile all of the resources necessary to produce meaningful change. Herein lies a tragic disconnect that also stunts our progress forward.
Thankfully, the world of financial support is changing. Initiatives like Kickstarter connect projects with needed capital. True change can happen if we stand together and support each other. Vote with your purchases, donations, and investments. Set profit and politics aside. Build a better world. Our children depend on it.

According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics measure of unemployment and underemployment, known as the "job distress rate," Americans who lack work constitute 14.3 percent of the workforce. That includes those who are unemployed plus "marginally attached workers, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all marginally attached workers." That's almost double the official unemployment rate of 7.3 percent.
California clocks in at second nationally for all states regarding the job distress rate, at a whopping 18.3 percent, almost double the state rate in 2006, before the recession. Texas has a job distress rate of 11.6 percent, with Nevada leading the way at 19 percent.

Working on Not Working
For starters, life gets in the way. At least that's the excuse I'm going with. It's so easy to sit back and say "I work 50 hours a week, when am I supposed to find time to send out query letters and submissions?" Yea so that's the excuse I'm sticking with. I know. I know I sit around for about 6 hours after I get home from work doing next to nothing socializing with friends online. But I've come to realize, I kind of need that. It's an important part of my routine. Thought possibly to much of a good thing. So somewhere I need to find a balance.
I think I worry that if I disappear for a day or two, internet friend (clearly having ADHD) will move on to other people. I know this is not the case. I've been gone before. So it's just some combination of excuse and lethargy.
I have my research, my 5 magazines I looked up earlier in the week. Just gotta put it out there. I feel like I need a better system. I way of organizing things that also acts to motivate me. Something physical, visual and ever present – not just some spread sheet on the computer.Speaking of which, I have no idea where my spreadsheet is. I should find that, I'm sure it made it to this computer.
Well I spent ten minutes looking around, I don't see it. It's probably on the external drive at home. But honestly it never did much to motivate me.
Anyone out there have a sample of their submissions in the form of a spreadsheet, chart or other format?
So I guess it's time to really look at what's a valid excuse and what's just waisted time. Hell I'm pulling off these blogs from work itself, so who knows maybe I can send out submissions as well.
Tonight when I get home I'll pull out the binder of poems for submissions. Gonna start cleaning up the apartment, by the time Tony moves out it should be cleanish again. I should be able to pull of sending out one submission a night. Hell I've got enough material to pull that off for at least a few weeks straight.
Starting February that's my goal. But for now I just want to get organized, that's never been my strong point. I need lessons.http://www.samproof.tv/2008/01/24/working-on-not-working/LifeWritingexcuses,motivation,submissions,writingFor starters, life gets in the way. At least that's the excuse I'm going with.

398 Rejection of the Ancestors, Sorrowful Chimes of the Bell
Library of Heaven is Path Author:Heng Sao Tian Ya Vote(63) Comment
Chapter 398: Rejection of the Ancestors, Sorrowful Chimes of the Bell
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
In the conference hall of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance's Master Teacher Pavilion.
"I believe that everyone should know of the matter. I hope that you all can try your best so that our name won't be sullied!"
The austere elder seated on the center seat gestured grandly.
The head of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance's Master Teacher Pavilion, 4-star pinnacle master teacher, Pavilion Master Kang Gan.
"Pavilion master, rest assured. We will do our best to find the most suitable candidate so as to not sully the name of our Myriad Kingdom Alliance!"
"I've been informed that Elder Su and Elder Ling heard of a genius in Xuanyuan Kingdom; they rushed there a few days ago!"
"Elder Bai and Elder Lu heard that there's a genius who passed the master teacher examination at Chiyuan Kingdom, and they rushed there eight days ago as well!"
The elders in the hall hurriedly answered.
These elders were dressed in the robe specially crafted for master teachers, and an emblem sat on their chest, reflecting their ranks. There were several 4-star master teachers in the hall, and even the weakest of those present was a 2-star. The radiance that shone off their emblems was dazzling.
"Good. Make preparations in advance to welcome and groom them. In the past, our Myriad Kingdom Alliance's ranking has always been at the very bottom. This time, we must show them that our geniuses don't lose out to them in any way!"
The pavilion master harrumphed.
The crowd nodded. Just as they were about to continue discussing, a bell suddenly sounded.
It carried deep sorrow in its chiming, as though something tragic had happened.
Dong dong dong dong!
Then, innumerable bells started sounding as well.
"What's going on?" Pavilion Master Kang abruptly stood up.
"That direction... the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall!"
Ascertaining the direction where the sound came from, a master teacher's face suddenly distorted in shock, and he exclaimed loudly.
"Let's go take a look!"
Pavilion Master Kang and the others immediately rushed out and headed straight for the Master Teacher pavilion. Upon pushing open the door, what welcomed them was the sight of countless ancestral tablets shaking non-stop, and sorrowful calls sounded from them, as though they had met with something tragic. At the same time, surge after surge of bizarre aura circled around those tablets, and the deep rumbling of thunder roared from their movements.
"This is... Rejection of the Ancestors, Sorrowful Chimes of the Bell"
Pavilion Master Kang's face changed, and he nearly fell to the floor.
"Rejection of the Ancestors? What does this mean?"
Seeing Pavilion Master Kang's loss of composure, one of the master teachers couldn't help but ask.
"After passing the master teacher examination, one would head to the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall to pay respects to the ancestor and seek their acknowledgement. Many people take pride in being acknowledged by the ancestors." Pavilion Master Kang started explaining.
The crowd nodded.
This was common knowledge among master teachers. The greater the number of ancestors who acknowledged one when one was a lower tiered master teacher, the more likely it was for one to climb to greater heights in the future. This should be something for master teachers to take pride in.
"As master teachers, you all should know that while teachers can choose their students, students are allowed to choose their teachers as well!"
At this point, slight disbelief flashed in the eyes of Pavilion Master Kang, and he clenched his fists tightly, "The ancestors can acknowledge their descendants, but at the same time... their acknowledgement can be rejected as well!"
"Rejected? The acknowledgement of the ancestors isn't just an honor, it also grants a unique aura that raises one's Soul Depth. There's actually a person who would reject it?"
Taken aback by Pavilion Master Kang's words, the crowd widened their eyes in shock.
Putting aside the fact that the acknowledgement of the ancestors represented unparalleled honor, more importantly, it could nourish a person's Soul Depth. Yet, for someone to reject it? Why?
"There were such cases in the past as well! Taking in the aura granted by an ancestor means having the will of the ancestor's will imprinted within one. In other words, that ancestor will be considered as a half-teacher for one. As everyone should know, the moment one accepts the favor of another, one will establish a karmic debt with the other party. One has to eventually pay back the favor. Some of the top-notch geniuses refuse to accept this kind of favor, so they reject it outright!" Pavilion Master Kang explained.
"This..." The crowd was stunned.
Even though it would establish a karmic debt, the benefits were too great to refuse.
Everyone here dreamt of earning the acknowledgement of the ancestors, yet for someone to reject it...
"Even though there's a sliver of the corresponding ancestor's will sealed within each of the tablets, it contains their spirit. Being rejected by their descendant, naturally, they'll cry in sorrow! It's under such a situation that'll induce the Rejection of the Ancestors, Sorrowful Chimes of the Bell! Even so, I've only read about all of this in books. To think that it was all... true!"
Pavilion Master Kang's face paled, "More importantly... for so many ancestral tablets to cry sorrowfully at the same moment... It means that all of these ancestors have acknowledged a person at the same time, but all of them were... rejected!"
"Acknowledgement... by all of these ancestors?"
"H-how is this possible?"
The crowd was completely astonished. Some of them even nearly fainted on the spot.
In the past hundred years, even the most talented genius of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance for the past several hundred years, Jun Ruohuan, only obtained the acknowledgement of seven of the ancestors. Who in the world was this? To obtain the acknowledgement of all of the ancestors at once, and more importantly... to reject all of them as well?
Surely I am hearing things?
The lips of all of the master teachers quivered, and they fell into a frenzy.
"Look into it, it must have happened within the Myriad Kingdom Alliance, or else such a phenomenon wouldn't happen here! If we can invite the genius acknowledged by all of the ancestors, we'll surely be able to win..."
Pavilion Master Kang's eyes shone in excitement. He was just about to continue issuing instructions when the ground suddenly shook.
Then, he saw Kong shi's statue trembling violently as well, calling out sorrowfully.
"Kong shi crying out sorrowfully? Could it be that... Kong shi has been rejected as well?"
Pavilion Master Kang's mouth was wide open, but not a word came out from his mouth.
"This... Do we really need not bother about this?"
Seeing Pavilion Master Jiang walk away, Zhang Xuan glanced at the ancestral tablets and Kong shi's statue which was lying under the ruins of the hall doubtfully.
Those were the statue of the world's teacher and the tablets of countless great ancestors.
"Master teachers have already peered through the essence of the world, and what we value is the intent, not the form. The respect for Kong shi and the other ancestors lay deep in our hearts, not in these ancestral tablets. Otherwise, given how the falling over of the tablets should have been an extremely disrespectful action, how could we, as descendants, wait expectantly for it to happen? Don't worry, the Master Teacher Pavilion have specialized craftsmen in charge of fixing such damages. It won't take long for the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall to be brought back to its former glory!"
Pavilion Master Jiang explained.
"What we value is the intent, not the form?" Zhang Xuan nodded.
Zhang Xuan liked the sound of it.
The master teachers he knew, be it Liu Ling, Zhuang Xian, or Jiang Shu, never used their position as master teachers to oppress others. Instead, they interacted with others like anyone else, and upon realizing that they had erred, they weren't hesitant to admit their mistakes as well.
Instead of their pride, they used their heart and conscience to deal with matters.
Knowing that the other party understands that he didn't intentionally break Kong shi's statue, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Advancing forward, he soon arrived at the conference hall.
"Allow me to formally introduce you two to them, these two are 4-star master teachers from the Myriad Kingdom Alliance, Su shi and Ling shi!" After the group settled down, Pavilion Master Jiang introduced.
"4-star master teacher?"
Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi leaped in shock.
They thought that those two were 1-star master teachers who came from other kingdoms. How could have even imagined that they were 4-star master teachers...
Especially for Zhang Xuan, his face turned green in regret.
He had even criticized them earlier.
"The two of you are talented, and it's just a matter of time before you two become 4-star master teachers, so there's no need to feel so restrained before us!" Su shi chuckled. Then, turning to Zhang Xuan, he said, "Zhang shi, I have a presumptuous request to ask of you."
"Su shi, feel free to speak!"
Knowing that the other party was a 4-star master teacher, Zhang Xuan immediately clasped his fist respectfully.
Not only were 4-star master teachers knowledgeable, their cultivation had also reached a frightening level!
To become a 3-star master teacher, one had to possess the strength of minimum Zhizun realm. At 4-star... his cultivation must have already surpassed Zhizun.
"I heard that Yang shi is in the capital, so may I ask if Ling shi and I can pay a visit to him?" Su shi asked.
"Pay a visit... to Yang shi?" The corner of Zhang Xuan's lip twitched, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
What Yang shi... The teacher behind him was Zhang Xuan himself!
The two 4-star master teachers were interested in meeting Yang shi, what should he do?
It had already taken him a lot of effort to fool Jiang Shu. This time, the other party were 4-star master teachers. It wouldn't be a simple feat to fool them!
It was possible that they might even be able to see through his disguising ability.
"Why? Is it not convenient?" Su shi asked.
"That isn't the case, just that my teacher... has always been wandering around the area. So, even I'm not too sure where he is..."
Zhang Xuan hurriedly added, "How about this, I'll ask him of this matter as soon as he appears!"
"Un! I'll be depending on Zhang shi then!" Su shi smiled.
Even though they were both 4-star master teachers, they didn't have any domineering aura to them. Instead, they felt particularly amiable.
It was said that the higher ranked a master teacher was, the more they would be like that. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to earn the trust and acknowledgement of their students swiftly, and better impart their knowledge.
"Alright, now that you two are done with your examinations, I won't beat around the bush. Actually, there are two reasons why Ling shi and I are here. Firstly, it's because of Zhang shi's astonishing examination results, so we came over to take a look. Other than that, we have something that we might need your help on!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan agree to the matter, Su shi stroked his beard and spoke of the primary reason for their arrival.
"Su shi, feel free to speak. If it's within the abilities of Tianwu Kingdom's Master Teacher Pavilion, we'll definitely give it our all!" Pavilion Master Jiang said.
Putting aside the fact that the other party was his superior, the other party's rank as a 4-star master teacher made him more than qualified to command them.

Here, he shares some insight into buying and owning your own classic car.
For about a year, I'd been keeping an eye on the market for a classic car. I had a few different cars in mind, and spent many months perusing classifieds sites and reading every classic car magazine I could get my hands on.
Over a six month period, a couple of the cars I'd been looking at started increasing in price, or decreasing in availability, pushing them beyond my budget. But then I found a car that ticked all my boxes and was within my reach. Now, I'm the proud owner of a 1973 Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 (named Big Red).
The Jaguar XJ6 is a superb car, but there are very few remaining that have avoided rusting away into oblivion. It's also a classic car that's significantly undervalued, which is great news for buyers. Give it a few years, and you can expect the market value of this model to rise significantly. Older Jaguars like the E-Type and Mark 2 saloon have already seen skyrocketing prices in recent years, and there's no question the XJ6 will follow in time. Fuel consumption isn't great, but it doesn't get used for daily driving.
"It gets plenty of admiring waves from other road users, and is a lovely old thing to drive."
So, I get to have my cake and eat it too. I have a glorious old car which drives beautifully and puts a big smile on my face. Plus it will only go up in value over time, so if I ever decide to sell, I can expect to get my money back with a healthy amount of interest.
Not every car can be considered a classic just because it's a bit elderly. Some cars were rubbish right from the start, and have no place in the automotive hall of fame. But even some fairly prosaic vehicles have a dedicated following who seek them out and maintain them lovingly.
As a general rule, classic car buyers tend to seek out the cars they loved as children. This means that 1970s and '80s cars are in vogue at the moment, as kids of those decades can now afford to buy and restore them, and values on many models from this era are starting to appreciate noticeably. If your childhood dream car fits this bill, you'd better get in quick.
Unlike a new car, which will probably lose two-thirds of its value within its first three years, a classic car is likely to hold or gradually increase its value over time.
If you're handy with a set of spanners, much of the maintenance and repair work can be done yourself. If you're not an eager DIY mechanic, the relatively simple mechanicals mean servicing at a garage usually costs much less than on a new car.
Classic car insurance policies can be quite cheap, as long as you are not using the car on a daily basis for commuting to work and are happy with restricted annual mileage. Road tax is free if the car is more than 40 years old, too.
And of course, classic cars have a completely different style and feel to the cookie-cutter looks of modern cars. Regardless of your own likes and dislikes, you should certainly be able to find a model to suit.
You'll want to make sure your timeless classic is protected too, so make sure you take out classic car insurance.
Over the last few years, there's been an increased level of interest from savvy savers in buying a classic car as a financial investment, rather than purely as a weekend toy. So it's possible you can have it all - enjoying the pleasure of driving a classic car while also enjoying a steady increase in its value.
Cars from the 1970s and 80s are becoming more popular now, so there are plenty of good opportunities there. Investing in a classic car should always be considered a long-term prospect, not a get-rich-quick scheme.
Investment potential must go hand-in-hand with how you'll use the car. There is no point buying a classic car and not enjoying it. One of the best ways to keep your car in good order is to drive it regularly – shutting it up in a garage for several years can cause more harm than good, even if it keeps the mileage down. If you don't enjoy owning and driving it, it's not a very good use of your money.
