A&E's "Longmire" To Get Even Longer
Following a very successful summer launch, A&E has just opted to renew their original crime/mystery drama Longmire for a second season.
Based on a series of novels by author Craig Johnson, Longmire is a modern day set drama with western overtones. The style is a bit reminiscent of current FX drama Justified, but Longmire quickly carves out its own path through the TV wilderness.
The plot follows Sheriff Walt Longmire, head lawman of Absaroka County, Wyoming. Walt's wife recently passed away, and he's returning to work as the series begins. His daughter Cady, deputy Vic, and best friend Henry all offer support to Longmire as he attempts to solve a series of major crimes happening in his jurisdiction. Fighting crime isn't Longmire's only worry though, as he must prepare for an upcoming election against Branch, a challenging young opponent who desperately wants Walt's job.
Featuring stars Robert Taylor (in the title role), Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff, and Lou Diamond Phillips, Longmire has quickly ascended to the crown of top rated scripted series on A&E. Granted, A&E really doesn't have that many scripted series, but it's still an accomplishment. There are still six more episodes left to air in Longmire's ten episode debut season, and look for the second season to begin airing next summer. The number of episodes ordered for season two has yet to be announced.
A&E Renews Longmire for Season 2
Longmire is sticking around.
A&E's modern-day Western, starring Robert Taylor, has been renewed for a second season, TVGuide.com has confirmed. Deadline.com first reported the news. The series debuted earlier this month to 4.1 million viewers to become the cable network's most-watched original series premiere ever. The series has since averaged 3.9 million viewers.
Longmire is about a recently widowed sheriff (Taylor) and his deputy, Victoria Moretti (Katee Sackhoff), as they navigate the varying degree of crimes — from the most mundane (shooting sheep) to the most gruesome (sex trafficking) — in a small town in Wyoming. Cassidy Freeman, Bailey Chase and Lou Diamond Phillips also star.
Longmire airs Sundays at 10/9c on A&E.

Summer TV 2012: Must-Watch New Shows
Anger Management (FX)
Premieres: Thursday, June 28 at 10/9c
He's baaack! Charlie Sheen returns to TV as ex baseball player Charlie (can he ever play someone not named Charlie?) who overcomes his own anger issues to become an anger management therapist himself. (Do his methods involve tiger blood?) The series is based on the Jack Nicholson-Adam Sandler flick of the same name and also stars Selma Blair (as his therapist and possible love interest), Shawnee Smith (as his ex-wife) and fellow Chuck Lorre antagonist Brett Butler (as a bartender). Sheen's ex-wife Denise Richards — never one to turn down a chance to appear on one of his shows (see: Spin City, Two and a Half Men) — will guest-star as a business partner of Smith's character. And if the test audience is any indication, Sheen may be winning once again.
Around the World in 80 Plates (Bravo)
Premieres: Wednesday, May 9 at 10/9c

Seeing as The Amazing Race and Top Chef are the only shows to ever win the reality-competition series Emmy Award, perhaps we ought to keep a close eye on this one.

Katee Sackhoff Talks LONGMIRE, RIDDICK with Vin Diesel, Auditioning for ONCE UPON A TIME, and Reflects on the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Series Finale
The A&E drama series Longmire, based on the Walt Longmire mystery novels by best-selling author Craig Johnson, is a contemporary crime thriller set in Big Sky country. Walt Longmire (Australian actor Robert Taylor) is the charismatic, dedicated and unflappable sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, who buries the pain of losing his wife behind a brave face and dry wit. With the help of Victoria "Vic" Moretti (Katee Sackhoff), a female deputy new to the department, Longmire becomes reinvigorated about his job and committed to running for re-election, as he rebuilds his personal and professional life.
During this exclusive interview with Collider, actress Katee Sackhoff talked about how this show came about and how it came down to either Longmire or the ABC fantasy series Once Upon A Time (she was up for Jennifer Morrison's role), how she identifies with her character, and what she enjoys about working with this cast. She also talked about what appealed to her about doing the next Riddick film with Vin Diesel, her crazy audition process for the role, her feelings about the Battlestar Galactica finale, and her dream of playing a country singer who falls in love with a rodeo cowboy (for the film Paper Wings). Check out what she had to say after the jump:
Collider: How did Longmire come about for you? Had you been looking to do another TV show?
KATEE SACKHOFF: I hadn't. I actually opted out of pilot season and said I wasn't going to do it again, and that I was going to focus on film. My manager has been my manager since I was 17, and he says that he's supposed to be smart for me when I can't do it for myself. He would slide the good ones across my desk, and there were two that I loved. One was Once Upon A Time, and one was Longmire. I went in five times on Once Upon A Time. I took one meeting on Longmire, and I met Greer Shephard and I said, "I want this job because of that woman. I love this woman." So, I walked away from Once Upon A Time and focused on Longmire. It was just those two jobs. Those were the only two pilots I loved that year.
I loved the idea that Wyoming is a world that's a bubble for these people. I found that so interesting. Something about Battlestar, that I didn't realize when I took the job, was this whole bubble aspect of closing people in and seeing what they do. This is the opposite of that. It's about giving everybody wide open space and seeing what they do. I enjoy that idea of this show. I like the fact that there is nobody around. As people, right now, we're so over-stimulated in this world that I don't know what I'd do in Wyoming. I really don't know what I'd do. I would probably have a heart attack because I'd be so lonely and I'd actually have to listen to myself think. That's a terrifying prospect for myself, and I'm sure many other people, as well. We leave TVs on in our house. I listen to my record player, constantly, to just hear music. I'm really intrigued by this idea of solitude. I'm excited about that, especially because we get to live in it. It's kind of cool.
Which character were you auditioning for, with Once Upon A Time?
SACKHOFF: It was Jennifer Morrison's role. They really wanted her, though. I could tell, from the very beginning, that they really wanted her. She and I go up against each other quite a bit. We're very similar. That was her job, and this was my job. Just the way that it turned out and the way that we've played the roles, it's obvious. I'm happy with the way that things turned out.
What was it about this character, in particular, that you were able to identify with?
SACKHOFF: In the books, what you realize is that Victoria actually moves out to Wyoming with her husband. She is a very successful homicide detective in Philadelphia. Her whole family is there. She's from a long line of police officers and detectives. She moves because she follows her husband someplace, and then he leaves because he's working, and she's there. I think a lot of women can relate to that moment where you're like, "I gave you everything I have, and you're gone. What do I do?" So, she said, "Okay, I've got to do something." She goes down and, after a lot of wrangling, she says, "I'll take the bottom. I'll do whatever you want me to do." And she finds this family that is very similar to her family. Not that it's a family like her family in Philadelphia, but it's this feeling of, "I've got your back. I'll do anything for you. This is our core family." She finds that with this group of people, and not her husband.
When you were cast, what were you told about your character's journey this season
SACKHOFF: I wasn't told anything, which is what excited me about this. I had so many preconceived notions because I've read the book and I have all the books at home, but I'm excited to see where they change it. They're going to have to change it, and I'm really excited to see where they go. Part of what I love about television is that my imagination gets to keep going. It doesn't stop. I go ahead and take another TV show, and then, all of a sudden, I've got six movies and I'm like, "Oh, my god, I'm too tired now!" So, be careful what you wish for because you get it all at once. These movies are so fast. You've got to do so much work, so fast, and really figure these characters out and figure out what makes them tick, quickly. In television, it's a long process. It's a love affair with these characters, so it's fun.
How has it been to work with Robert Taylor and develop the dynamic between your characters?
SACKHOFF: Part of the reason I took this job was because I wasn't the lead. I've been the lead, and it's not fun. It's a lot of work. Robert was the one I saw the least, on the show, because he worked so much. The rest of us got along like pigs in shit. We were going to spa treatments, every day. I think Bailey [Chase] and I went to a spa. We just hung out, every day, and Robert worked his ass off. It was definitely my validation, in not wanting to be a lead in a series, and it also gave me an opportunity to really bond with the rest of the cast. With Robert, we bonded on set when we had the opportunity to talk to each other, and I absolutely adore him, along with every single person in this cast and every single person in our crew, and all the producers and writers. The similarity between Battlestar Galactica and this, is that. There's not one bad egg. Every single person is a beautiful human being, and we're lucky. That's what gives you longevity. You have to love the people that you work with, and we do, so it's really great.
Along with the opportunity to develop a character over a longer period of time on a TV show, do you also enjoy the opportunity of constantly working with different directors?
SACKHOFF: Of course! I think that's what's interesting about having my base in television. What it allows me to do now is that I go into movies and I can take anything you throw at me. If you want me to memorize 15 new pages, I can do that in 10 minutes. If you want me to work with a first-time director, I can do that. In television, you learn to fly by the seat of your pants and give your best, on take one. And so, when I work with people that don't do that, it's really frustrating for me. I'm like, "You should go do TV for awhile, sweetheart, because this is not going to work. You're cute in your 20′s, so it might work now, but wait until you're 30. They're going to hire someone else." It really teaches you to work your ass off.
What was the appeal of the next Riddick movie for you? Was there a specific draw for you?
SACKHOFF: The draw there is selfish. I grew up watching science fiction and action movies. I love it. I absolutely love it! I'm a huge fan of Vin [Diesel]. I'm a huge fan of the first two movies. I don't even know how much I can say. They're so buried in secrecy, over there at the David Twohy camp. But, selfishly, it's what makes me tick. It's what I enjoy doing. It's fun. I've been all over the map with my films, in the last year, and the next three or four that I have planned, so I'm excited to go blow some shit up.
Was that a role that was offered to you, or did you have to audition for it?
SACKHOFF: I did audition for it. It's actually a crazy story. I went in once, and then didn't hear anything. When I went in for the first time, I just met with David. And then, the next time, they were like, "Okay, it's down to you and four girls." I was like, "All right." And they were like, "Vin's in town, so you're gonna have to jump. When they say jump, you've gotta jump." I was like, "Okay," thinking that it could be 5 pm one night, or 8 pm one night. I got a phone call at 11 o'clock at night, from all the producers and the casting director, which thank god the casting director is a woman because I would have been like, "You want me to come where?" So, at midnight, I got out of bed, I took off my face mask and I drove to Vin's house with my mother on the phone going, "If I don't call you in an hour, this is the address I'm at." And she was like, "Katee, nothing is going to happen." I was like, "I know, but this is so weird!" And, I got the job because I showed up. I truly believe that. When I was driving home that night, at 2 o'clock in the morning, I called my mom and said, "I do believe I just got that job because I showed up." As far as acting goes, you get to a certain point where I think everyone can do the job and it comes down to a level of commitment. I think sometimes all you have to do is show up.
When you know you're going to be working with someone like Vin Diesel, do you work extra hard to be ready to kick some ass?
SACKHOFF: It's funny, the last movie I did, I got severely hurt on. I hurt both my shoulders and my back, so much so that I couldn't move for three months. When I say couldn't move, that's being over-dramatic, but I could do nothing but walk. I couldn't push off with my shoulders because my shoulders were bad. It was very weird, and it hurt like hell. I went and had ozone injections into my spine, and all this crazy stuff done, because I was so worried I wasn't going to be able to get physically ready for this movie. And then, I just started working out a month ago, and I've packed on nine pounds of muscle, which I hate. It's like Starbuck (from Battlestar Galactica), all over again. It's not where my body sits. My body sits in the 130′s, and then, when I start playing these characters, I pop up to the 140′s, and I'm like, "God, my pants don't fit anymore!" I was putting on my pants this morning and I'm like, "They're the same size and they fit, but my ass looks weird now." It's very different. But, that is intimidating. I do know Vin, and I do know how professional he is, and I do know how much of a work-horse he is. He's so committed to making a phenomenal project. To show up less than perfect for he and David would be a million dollar mistake.
How do you balance your film and television work, and the training you have to do? Does it just get crazy?
SACKHOFF: It does! But, I signed up for this and it's not going to last forever. This business is very finite. You can do anything for a month, so you just keep going. You surround yourself with amazing people that will hold your head when you cry 'cause you get tired. That's pretty much it. I don't even have a one-day break until November. I do have my weekends, thank god, but it's a lot. But, when it rains it pours, and you take the opportunities that you have and ride the wave 'cause it will stop.
Have you intentionally looked to balance bigger action films with smaller and quieter projects?
SACKHOFF: It's a blessing in disguise. I didn't search out these opportunities, but it's a blessing that it's happened this way. Santa Fe is my vacation. I'm renting one of my dear friend's manager's house there, and it's in the middle of nowhere. It's an opportunity for me to go through what Vic is going through, in that quiet, 'cause I don't think I've ever had that, in my life. I haven't stopped working since I was 17. To have quiet is very interesting for me.
When you look back at how your career has played out, is it the direction that you wanted to go in, or is it surprising for you?
SACKHOFF: What's funny is that every job after my first one is just icing. I always believed that I could do this, but I never dreamed that I would be given the opportunity. I wake up every day and pinch myself, but at the same time, I work my ass off. Did I plan every move? No. Has every move since taking Battlestar been planned? Yes. Every single one. I was given the opportunity, and now I can form it. I started working when I was 17, and I got Battlestar when I was 23. Battlestar was my fourth series. Before then, it was just, "Take anything that comes your way. As long as it doesn't have nudity, take it." I took work that my friends didn't take. One of my best girlfriends turned down Halloween: Resurrection, but I took it because that's what you do. You have to. When you don't have the choice, you take every opportunity that comes your way because every job begets another job. So, up until Battlestar, everything was a necessity, and after Battlestar, everything was a choice. It's been nice, and it's fun to navigate. Where I am right now is definitely planned.
When you end a series like Battlestar Galactica, that so many people love, there's no way that you can make everyone happy, but were you at least happy with how it ended?
SACKHOFF: Yeah, I love how it ended. I've always said this, and people think that it's rude for saying it, but I do think that the writers wrote themselves into a corner. That's not a negative thing. That's not a bad thing. It happens. With Battlestar, there were so many characters on that show to try to wrap up, and it happened so fast, that for Starbuck to not answer what or who or why, left it ambiguous and beautiful, and it gave it that bit of question. It's like The Sopranos. You leave them guessing. I was just happier, the way that it ended. I loved it! You also don't want to go right, if everyone thinks you're going to go right. You go left, on purpose. Sometimes you can't explain why, and you can't explain what left looks like, but you just do it.
Throughout your career, you've played a lot of really strong characters, who often get to kick some ass. Does that come from the kind of person you are, or is it more about living out a fantasy because you're not that way yourself?
SACKHOFF: You know, I like to think that I'm a really strong, tough person, but I'm not. I'm a very, very needy person. I'm very insecure. I'm very impressionable. But, there is a side of me that is very put-together, very strong, very capable and very opinionated. It's the two sides of myself that I get to play. I've been trying to find that balance, in my own life, and it's fun to play characters that have the same things. It's just a matter of which one is more dominant, I guess.
Do you have a dream role that you'd love to do, if given the opportunity?
SACKHOFF: There is a script called Paper Wings that's with Will Smith's company now. It's had many different production companies and actors attached. It is my dream role. I've been trying to get it for eight years. I'm not a big enough star for them yet. Hopefully, after this year, I will be. It's about a country singer that falls in love with a rodeo cowboy. It's pretty awesome. It's my dream role. People don't realize that I started in musical theater. That's where my roots are. They're shocked and are like, "I'm sorry, you sing?!" Yes, honey, I sing! That would be awesome. Hopefully, it works.
Longmire will air on Sunday nights on A&E, starting June 3rd.

Collaborative Human Tissue Network (CHTN) (UM1 Clinical Trials Not Allowed): The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), is to support the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN). The goal for CHTN is to collect and distribute high quality human tissue specimens to facilitate basic and early translational cancer research, as well as assay development. The CHTN is designed as a unique biospecimen resource in that it is based on prospective collection and distribution of samples upon specific investigators requests. Samples to be collected from patients include pre-cancerous, cancerous, and benign neoplastic tissues, as well as specimens corresponding to non-neoplastic diseases and uninvolved tissues. This FOA solicits applications for CHTN awards from institutions/teams capable of contributing to the mission of CHTN by: (1) providing prospective investigator-defined procurement of high-quality malignant, benign, diseased, and uninvolved (normal adjacent) tissues and fluids from patients throughout North America and elsewhere; (2) assisting individual investigators with regard to specific specimen needs of their research; (3) assisting in developing and disseminating knowledge on high quality practices for successfully operating a biospecimen repository; and (4) educating the community about the importance of the availability of high quality human tissue specimens for medical research. Depending on their profile and capabilities, applicants must indicate whether they propose to function as the CHTN adult biospecimen division or the pediatric specimen division. Nonetheless, it will be acceptable for an adult biospecimen division, if capable, to contribute pediatric samples for networked requests. This FOA is open to all qualified applicants irrespective of their previous association with the CHTN.

In celebration of Seattle Reads 2019, Jess Boyd spoke to Thi Bui about her award- winning graphic novel, The Best We Could Do (TBWCD), the 2019 Seattle Reads selection.
An Interview with Thi Bui
by Jess Boyd
Thi Bui's The Best We Could Do is a story that moved me, my family and my community. It gave voice to feelings and frustrations that I had yet to articulate and acted as a medium to bridge generations and countries.
The story is a multigenerational saga told through Bui's past and present selves. Bui generously shares herself at different moments throughout her life, as a child, as a sibling, as a new mother, allowing us to see the far reaching ripples of war, and the way that those ripples can become waves that carry people across oceans.
Jess Boyd: Where was the birthplace of your creativity?
Thi Bui: I have to take a moment to allow myself to accept the compliment embedded in this question. "Ya not creative!" shouts my inner Viet.
Okay, it's good now. I remember making things and daydreaming when I was a kid as a form of escape. Whether I was escaping my drab physical environment or tense emotional environment, I'm not sure … maybe both? It's not like that anymore but that was how being creative started — first as an escape and then as a rebellion.
Why is it important to remember and reflect on the past?
We apes learn slow and we keep having to learn the same lessons over and over again. History keeps us humble and it also lends us perspective.
What is the relationship between your son and the book?
The book is a family album that holds his history for him, and which he can revisit as he gets older and understand a bit differently each time.
How did your relationship with your younger self change over the course of creating TBWCD?
Drawing anyone as a child is an incredibly healing process of loving and forgiving them. I didn't realize until drawing myself as a child or a younger person over and over that that could work for oneself as well.
What did you learn about your younger self whilst writing TBWCD?
I learned that I have a macho and stoic persona that comes out in the face of danger or stress. I had to draw expressions on people and when I thought about my own facial expressions during specific moments and tried to re-embody them, I remembered only blank face.
How did you deal with revisiting moments of childhood fear as an adult?
Very methodically, actually. To get myself in the headspace to explore Chapter 3, which is about my childhood with my father and used to be called TERROR, I rewatched as many horror movies as I could remember were influential to me at that age. I hate horror movies.
But what I found was that most of them are not scary to me anymore. The jump scares and startling music don't have the same effect they used to. The one film that still terrified me was Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, and I rewatched it a few times to study why and how it did that so that I could incorporate it into my art.
What was it like navigating the mediation of memory transmission between generations?
It is important to be aware of your subject's biases and do supplementary research to fact check and contextualize their recollections and opinions. When I was younger and interviewing my parents, I was an open blank page onto which they could write anything. As I accumulated more knowledge about Vietnamese history, I could ask more specific and challenging questions and fill in the areas of assumption with more specific details that they remembered.
A lot of your book wrestles with the inheritance of traumas and healing, what do you think collective healing looks like for the Vietnamese American community?
To me knowledge is an important part of healing. You cannot forgive what you have not really examined and tried to understand. Facing the uncomfortable, the ugly, and the embarrassing parts of our personal and political history is part of the work of healing.
How did writing The Best We Could Do affect your relationship with Viet Nam?
I have a much more objective relationship with Viet Nam now that I am no longer searching for my origin story in it. It is a complex, beautiful country of 95 million people who are not me. I carry some part of it in me, but I am not necessarily a part of it.
My attempts to find a publisher in VN have not been successful and that is disappointing. I would love to see healing happen between VN and the Vietnamese diaspora, but as long as there is suppression of uncomfortable parts of our history, on any side, the healing cannot be complete.
How does this story transcend the Vietnamese American community?
Civil wars have unfortunately torn apart many countries and sent people across the world. People who were living in America in the 1960s have their own memories of the war. Parents everywhere understand the anguish of being responsible for another human's life. Children understand frustration and resentment and guilt.
Did your relationship to the notion of home change over the course of writing TBWCD?
I have become more comfortable with the notion of being American in name and all practical ways, and transnational or international in spirit. Nationalism and patriotism are alarming to me because they tend to precede war and mass destruction of life.
What is the name of your next book and what is it about?
The next book is called Nowhereland and it is about Southeast Asians who came to the US as refugees, like me, but ended up in the prison and deportation system.
How is it connected to The Best We Could Do?
My family's story, even with warts and all, falls in many ways into a model minority narrative and I am conscious of the shadow that I cast when the spotlight is on me. This next book allows me to stretch my own imagination about what Vietnamese American or Southeast Asian experience is.
In some ways, is Nowhereland the untold chapter of TBWCD and/or the war in Viet Nam?
An untold chapter maybe. Certainly the war created many wounds greater than those my family carries, and I have been learning what they look like in other families and how much that can change the course of a person's life.
Why are these stories that we rarely hear about?
From what I have come to understand, one cannot underestimate the damage caused by the genocide in Cambodia that followed the years of American bombing and destabilization. A generation of artists was destroyed. Who will tell the stories is a question that seems ever present in the surviving diaspora.
There is also the issue of resources and access to education, books, media, and the people who help you become a creator of those things. Our poorest and our least represented are often the same people.
Thi Bui will be in Seattle April 13 through 16 to meet with readers and talk about The Best We Could Do. Find the schedule of appearances and related Seattle Reads events here.

Year-Round News & Updates on the Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves had a two options heading into free agency (pertaining to Michael Beasley). 1.) Make him a qualifying offer, worth $8.1million--and a restricted free agent OR 2.) Don't make the QO and allow him to become an unrestricted free agent--free to sign with any team he pleases.
Well, the Timberwolves...wisely...chose #2. Michael Beasley became an unrestricted free agent and he's already found a new home.
Although Michael was adamant that he wanted to stay in Minnesota, it was clear after Rick Adelman's first year with the team--Beasley wasn't going to be a part of the TWolves core, moving forward.
Michael Beasley is now a member of the Phoenix Suns and will likely be a part of their rebuilding process. There's a good chance he'll be Phoenix's starting small forward, next season, as well. I think we can all agree, now that Steve Nash is going to be a Laker, Grant Hill won't be returning to the Suns, for next season.
Although Michael is getting that $8M a year, he didn't do too bad. Beasley will sign a reported 3-year $18million deal ($6million a year).
Goran Dragic also, recently committed to signing with Phoenix. Their starting lineup could look like: Dragic, Dudley, Beasley, Frye, Gortat. They also have a rookie point guard in Kendall Marshall.
I'm happy for Beasley, hopefully he'll find his niche in Phoenix. I'll be rooting for him 78 games, next year!
That's all for now, thanks for reading HOWL and GO WOLVES!

Sleep LESS to get MORE done.
Workout MORE and eat LESS.
Invest MORE energy into planning the future and LESS energy into expanding your consciousness.
Spend MORE time on your phone and LESS time with the people you love.
We often believe that in order to be get what we want (a promotion at work, a slimmer body, a happy life) we must work harder. But we've all experienced it right? That realization that it was as soon as we stopped dieting, that the body we were dying for finally appeared. Or how about when you finally surrender and allow yourself a weekend of doing absolutely nothing, only to find you are 10x more productive on Monday morning. Has that ever happened to you?
The wonderful Wayne Dyer once said (with reference to people who are addicted to smoking), and I paraphrase….
You think it's easier to smoke then not to smoke. But really, when you think about it, in order to smoke you have to drive to the store, buy the cigarettes, find a lighter, light the cigarette, etc. Isn't it actually easier to just, not smoke.
I relate to this when it comes to the lure I have always felt from caffeine. Oooooo coffee, so delicious, and within 15 minutes of drinking it… I literally feel like a super hero! I love feeling that super hero feeling! My workouts are better, my brain is sharper, and I can pace around my apartment like a lightening bolt getting so much MORE done in so much LESS time.
But, what is the quality of that time? And how about the quality of the time that follows my feeding this addiction? Usually the rest of the day (post caffeine indulgence), I feel energetically unstable, sluggish, foggy, anxious, I experience poor quality sleep, unstable blood sugar = cravings, and worst of all … I feel less present in every one of my daily social interactions. Furthermore, why do I NEED to feel like a super hero anyway? Why isn't just being ME, enough?
We focus on MORE, on the quick fix, but what we need to focus on improving…is the quality of our lives.
Some people might gawk at the idea of a "morning routine," but I swear to you, starting your day in a conscious way will give you MORE time….not LESS!
Here are 5 morning routines for you to try ….
Morning Ritual
Prepare yourself a morning beverage (water with lemon, green juice, heck…maybe even coffee…ok!). The key here though, is you must enjoy your am drink of choice with full presence and gratitude. Sit in a chair while holding the mug / glass in your hand. Take 1 deep conscious breath, and then take a sip of your drink. Take another deep breath, and enjoy a second sip. Continue on in a similar fashion until you finish your dink. If you like, you could also make yourself a delicious and healthful breakfast, and then slowly and mindfully eat instead of drink.
Conscious Breathing
Again, sit somewhere that is comfortable. Maybe even in the morning
sunshine. Close your eyes and focus only on your breath. The inhale, the exhale, the slight pause that separates each breath. Try to focus your breathing into the base of your belly.
If you have a technique that you practice, or, do a guided meditation from an app or from youtube. Sitting still and quieting the mind is not something everyone wants to try. So how about a walking meditation instead?! Go for a 10 or 15 minute walk. But not a power walk. You won't be as present if you are going fast. Walk at an easy pace and instead of focusing on squeezing your butt or on burning more calories, focus on maintaining slow and stead breathing, and on the sensation of your foot as it touches the ground.
Gratitude Journal
Every morning write down 5 things that you are grateful for. Can't think of 5, you are trying too hard. Reflect on the little things. The comfortable bed you just crawled out, the beautiful breakfast you are about to enjoy, etc. Another great idea similar to this one is to simply take 10 minutes to read a chapter of a book that inspires you.
Synchronize your movement with your breath, and wake your body up with movement….instead of espresso! You could do sun salutations, some yin yoga, a few backbends or, just simply get on the floor and stretch. It doesn't have to be fancy, don't let overthinking inhibit you from trying…just move…that's it.
Gratitude for your continued interest in learning from me, love to you …
xo! Teshia

I am struggling with my parenting every single day, like most of us do and I know that the fights I have are every day business for most parents with a child this age. Yet I think that a huge amount of trouble could be avoided. I shout to much and I know it and I know that makes it easy for Mr. M. to jibe about me with my daughter.
Of course he leaves all the "fighting" to me because he just does not demand anything from her, does not enforce consequences or ask anything of his child.
It is the classic picture of the nagging, demanding mother vs. the only fun times father. Like every father on this planet who plays that game he does not understand that in the end it is his child who suffers the consequences or does at least not benefit from his behavior.
Yes, he achieves the side effect that it becomes very hard from time to time to deal with her and yes, that makes my life very strenuous sometimes but so does it make hers.
I myself witnessed him telling her "No" to something in the past. If she kept on insisting long enough he would do it anyway. Which is kind of the cardinal sin in parenting. Is it not? Even when he still was with us he always contradicted me in what I said. When I chided her for something he came and immediately comforted her always signaling her that I am only nagging and he is on her side.
What he also achieves is that his child is very often perceived as badly behaved, impolite and self-absorbed. It is perfectly understandable that she does not understand why certain rules have to be followed if only her mother asks for it but not her father. Only I want her to sit still at the table, to close her mouth when chewing and to put both hands on the table while eating. Only I tell her that every day, a hundred times. Eating out of the pizza cardboard or the Mc Donald's fries out of a bag does not require any kind of manners. In front of the TV no less, who cares about how you eat there.
Okay so since only I ask for that kind of things she does not listen to me most of the time. I can tell her 10 times in a row to shut her mouth while chewing and she will gleefully show me the content of her mouth. Unfortunately I am not willing to let that slide and where do I end up? I shout and I give her consequences and that leads her directly into a massive tantrum.
This mechanism applies to about 20 situations every day and we are fighting and arguing all the time.
I know that we all have this phases and we all fight about these things and a most of out children are stubborn and do not listen and drive us crazy.
Nonetheless I can clearly see that the onesidedness of my parenting potentiates the stress. Because with me it does not work to just say something over and over again until I yield.

Meet Mayuri Surrao, who is giving shelter to the orphans and elderly in Mumbai
28 year old, Mayuri Surrao, is a social changemaker in true sense and is currently running an orphanage in Malad, an old age home.
Mayuri's father was a paralysed man and she couldn't see him suffer therefore she along with her husband decided to open an old age home. This way she started "SWAGAT ASHRAM". She also rented a house and started running an orphanage into it.
Earlier in 2006 Mayuri Surrao used to help in different orphanages as well as old age homes and with increasing knowledge and experience finally started one in 2009.
She started the orphanage with 5 children with a low budget of providing half kg rice, dal each day and some more little pulses. Gradually she paced well.
It has been her major belief rather a concern for all those children living in slum areas and belief that education is the only tool which can improve their standard of living. Therefore Mayuri started teaching them as well and helping them building their personalities.
People responded tremendously well. As time passed by, she got many sponsors and donors who sponsored and donated by will. She herself invested money with the support of her husband. She says: "I may suffer financially but I will not let any of my social institution suffer"
In order to make each old age member feel at home. She wants to spend as much time as she can with them and also listened to each one and share their grievances. Setting up her social institutions on rent was the greatest challenge she faced initially.
Mayuri Surrao's future belief is such that she claims to say: "I will be a social worker not only till my death but after my death my children will continue with it."

Feline Idiopathic Cystitis is a very common and distressing condition where the bladder lining degrades, causing the cat considerable pain.
There are a number of possible medical causes. However a high percentage are said to be 'idiopathic', i.e. not associated with a medical cause. This commonly occurs in cats which have an exaggerated response to stress. Managing FIC
Support the bladder – Supplements like Cystease® are available to help support the bladder lining. This supplement contains N-acetyl glucosamine, the building blocks the bladder needs to maintain the lining and also L-tryptophan a stress fighting ingredient.
Encourage cats to drink – It is vital cats drink regularly to prevent their urine becoming overly concentrated. However, cats do not have a strong thirst response (as they would naturally get most of their water from prey) and you may need to take action to encourage your cat to drink more.
Never place water next to food. Cats will never drink where they eat. Make sure bowls are in other parts of the room / house.
Provide wide ceramic bowls and ensure the level remains topped up. Plastic or metal taints the taste.
Some cats may prefer drinking from running water. If so cat water fountains are available and can be very effective.
Reduce Stress – Feliway®, the innovate pheromone product, available as a plug-in diffuser and proven to reduce feline stress, has been reported to have reduced the number and severity of bouts of Feline Cystitis and is now commonly used as part of the management of the disease. However, other steps should also be taken to reduce the cats stress.
Environmental enrichment
In addition to Feliway, environmental modifications may be required, particularly in multi-cat households:
If there is a new cat in the neighbourhood causing your cat stress, provide a shield so the new cat cannot be seen, e.g. cover the windows when you're not in the room or remove items that may attract the aggressor cat such as bird tables.
In a multi-cat household create multiple access points for valuable resources, i.e.
Multiple litter trays
Multiple sleeping areas
Multiple food stations
Multiple drinking opportunities (not near food)
Spread these 'resources' around the house so they are not concentrated in one area. This means all cats can access the resources when they wish without having to wait until another cat has finished. Queuing causes stress and is a very common cause of social unrest.
Single cat-sized sleeping perches have been shown to help reduce individual cat stress in multi-cat household for a similar reason.

January 20, 1997, Section B, Page 1Buy Reprints
Trying to stay warm while awaiting the 7:03 express one recent morning, Ted Kesler did not look like the wing-tipped commuters surrounding him on the Manhattan-bound train platform here.
Snoopy and Charlie Brown stood ready to play ball on his embroidered baseball cap. A blue nylon knapsack hung on his shoulder. And his 5-foot-6-inch frame was snug in a hooded green coat that seemed more suited to a day of sledding than a day at work, which was where he was headed, toting a load of children's books and a journal with a teddy bear cover.
''I will never take the adult world all that seriously,'' said Mr. Kesler, who is, somehow, 35. ''I feel that I have never lost the innocence of childhood.''
''I feel,'' he added, ''very connected to the vulnerability that children feel.''
It is his childlike sensibility, Mr. Kesler said, that helps him relate to the 8- and 9-year-old occupants of Room 3-223 at Public School 75 on the Upper West Side, where he is a third-grade teacher.
He loves jumping rope with his students. He eagerly raises his reedy voice in song, whether it is a chestnut like ''Take Me Out to the Ball Game'' or the spiritual ''I Got Shoes.'' And on a recent morning, he was having as much fun as the children dancing the Macarena.
But it is as he labors to teach his students to read -- in a year when Schools Chancellor Rudy Crew has made third-grade literacy his top priority -- that Mr. Kesler identifies most powerfully with their struggles and frustrations.
And it is not just because of the very adult pressure he is under to help his students succeed.
Mr. Kesler, you see, did not read much when he was their age, and no one read much to him. In fact, he said, by that point his childhood was pretty much over before it had started.
He recalled staring out the window of a moving car when he was 5, trying to decipher street signs in his hometown of Paramus, N.J. ''I remember seeing the letters and so badly wanting to put them together in a word.''
Soon he got his chance, thanks to his sister, May, who was six years older and who taught him to read the old-fashioned ''Dick and Jane'' books. But the euphoria was short-lived.
When he was 6, his mother, Regina, a pediatrician, developed breast cancer. Over the next five years, her illness consumed his entire family, Mr. Kesler said, leaving little opportunity for the routines of daily living, like reading.
''In the last two years of her life, she was in the hospital for months at a time,'' Mr. Kesler said after school one afternoon, his eyes reddening as he sat at a small wooden desk. ''She'd come back for two weeks, but it would be too much to take.
''My room was right next to hers, and she'd scream in the middle of the night from the pain: 'Someone's stabbing me! Someone's pouring acid down my back!' We'd stand in the hallway shaking. In the morning, or in the middle of the night, the ambulance would come.''
When Ted was 11 and his mother was 46, she died, leaving his father, Michael, a chemical engineering consultant, to raise him, his sister and their brothers, David, then 13, and Mark, 19. Bankrupt from the costs of his wife's medical care, Michael Kesler moved his family to East Brunswick to be closer to his office in Princeton, and began traveling in three-week spurts on business.
With Mark studying at Columbia University, and May soon off to Rutgers, Ted and David were left to live largely on their own. And even though they could read well, they usually chose not to, playing basketball and baseball instead.
''For those years, we went unparented,'' Mr. Kesler said. ''My father tried his best. But I would say he was overcome by the circumstances, with his work, with trying to find a new wife and, perhaps, someone who could be a mother to us.''
School did not help much. Through the sixth grade, Ted attended a yeshiva, where he said rote learning left little room for creativity. While he was exposed to classical Hebrew texts, like commentary on the Talmud, Mr. Kesler recalled few attempts to introduce him to the staples of children's literature.
But then something fortuitous happened: he came down with pneumonia and bronchitis.
Confined to his bed for several weeks at age 13, Mr. Kesler said, he was kept company by Penny Sarno, who was his father's girlfriend at the time. And for the first time since he was 6, he had someone to read to him.
Surprised that he had spent so little time with books, Ms. Sarno tried to fill in the gaps, reading classics like ''The Little Prince'' and ''Grimm's Fairy Tales,'' and the Beverly Cleary standard ''Henry and Ribsy.''
Young Ted pretended they did not interest him. But deep down, he said, he was elated.
''When she'd leave, I'd find myself sneaking the book off the shelf to find out what happens next,'' he said.
His literary world opened further two years later, when, as a sophomore at East Brunswick High School, he took a course in American literature.
He watched in awe as the teacher, Stephen Michaud, clambered onto a desk, harpoon in hand, to recite one of Captain Ahab's soliloquies from ''Moby-Dick.'' With his classmates, he dove into ''The Great Gatsby'' and ''Goodbye, Columbus.'' And he was riveted by ''The Catcher in the Rye,'' the first book that ever made him laugh aloud and the first with a main character, Holden Caulfield, who felt as alienated from the world as he did.
''From then on,'' he said, ''I was an independent reader. I read on my own and I looked forward to it.''
In the Classroom
Third Graders Learn The Habits of Life
When he went off to Columbia in 1979, Mr. Kesler thought he would be a pediatrician, like his mother. But the emotional task of following in her footsteps became overwhelming and he dropped any thoughts of medicine.
He settled on teaching, and in 1988, the year he received a master's degree in elementary education from Teachers College at Columbia, he was hired at P.S. 75. He has worked there ever since.
Mr. Kesler described teaching as an emotional pendulum swinging between extreme highs and lows, from the thrill of helping a budding poet to find her voice to the anguish of deciding whether to promote a boy to the fourth grade before he was ready.
''I really feel that what I do makes a difference in the world,'' he said, nursing a Heineken over dinner at a Korean restaurant. ''I feel like I am shooting for a lot more than getting them ready for the fourth grade. I feel I am preparing them for the habits of life.''
And that can be frustrating, considering the triage involved.
Trying to spend meaningful time with each of his 30 students is a challenge. Mr. Kesler noticed in the first week of school, for example, that Lawrence Marcel had trouble writing his name and recalling his birthday. But only in late October was Mr. Kesler able to begin focusing on Lawrence's needs in earnest.
A few weeks ago, Lizbee Collins-Wildman, one of the best writers in class, began to cry when Mr. Kesler told her that he had not had time to read an essay she turned in the day before.
''I'm rushing these,'' Mr. Kesler had said on the train, as he raced through several writing samples. ''I'm not putting enough time in to make them better. That's really bugging me.''
To rally outside help, Mr. Kesler sends the children home with a daily homework sheet and urges parents to make sure they read for at least 20 minutes a night.
He also records a five-minute voice-mail message that parents can hear each night, detailing what happened in class that day.
''I don't know the deepest psychological levels,'' Mr. Kesler said, ''but I think I'm always trying to improve upon what I didn't have as a child.''
After School
A 17-Hour Day, A Book at Night
His teaching style, he said, borrows heavily from those of his favorite instructors. Like Mr. Michaud, he forsakes tedious book reports. Instead, students might write about a favorite scene in a book and then illustrate it.
But there are some classroom situations for which Mr. Kesler was not prepared, like the wide diversity of his class. Most of his students are from worlds, both ethnic and racial, with which he had no contact growing up. He said that the mix of a New York City classroom was disorienting at first, but that he had learned to compensate by peppering himself with questions like: ''Am I only praising the white kids? Am I only talking sports with the black boys? Who am I choosing to line up first?''
He also sings the children songs and reads them books whose characters come from different backgrounds. One day this month, they read two books aloud: one about J. T., a 10-year-old black boy living in Harlem, and the other about Peppe, a young Italian immigrant in turn-of-the-century Manhattan.
Mr. Kesler has had a harder time bridging his students' socioeconomic differences. Some go home to sprawling co-ops on Riverside Drive, others to cramped spaces at the Frederick Douglass Houses.
Recently, La-Toya Pankey was teased by several students after they learned from a newspaper article that she was on public assistance.
After the teasing persisted, Mr. Kesler decided to convene a class lesson. He scribbled two categories on a big easel: circumstances people could control and those they could not. He asked the children to fill out the lists. For things they could control, they suggested ''your actions,'' ''your opinions'' and ''who you choose as friends.'' For those they couldn't, they gave ''skin color,'' ''whether you are a boy or girl'' and ''when you die.''
The entry Mr. Kesler offered, because no one else did, was ''whether you are rich or poor.''
''They're 8 years old,'' he said. ''They're not going to get the point right away.''
Outside the classroom, life has come full circle for Mr. Kesler.
Just as they did as teen-agers, Ted and his brother David are sharing a house. David, now 37 and an architect, was divorced a year ago. So Ted relocated from New York City to this town near Princeton to keep his brother company.
''I figured I'd stay till I got married, till I moved in with someone to start my own family,'' Ted said.
He thought he had found that person in his girlfriend of two years and he proposed on Nov. 2. She accepted and a winter wedding was planned. But just before Christmas, she broke off the engagement, he said.
All he will offer is: ''She was too scared to get married.''
And so, at the end of a day that often stretches to 17 hours -- with commuting, class time, lesson-planning and even time to shampoo the class hamster -- Mr. Kesler goes to sleep each night as he hopes his students do: holding a book.
The other night, it was ''Bastard Out of Carolina,'' the story of a girl struggling to understand why her mother abandoned her.
Mr. Kesler read from 11:30 until 12:05, when his eyelids began to droop. ''I got to a point where I couldn't make sense of it anymore,'' he said. ''So I folded the page dog-eared, just like I tell the kids, then got up to turn off the light.''
Ted Kesler is one of the third-grade teachers who are trying to meet Schools Chancellor Rudy Crew's goal for the school year: by spring, third graders should be able to read on their own and at grade level. Previous articles described how Mr. Kesler's students are struggling to meet the challenge.
