The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority’s planned public forum tonight regarding the proposed 5-year public transit improvement program has been moved to the Dexter Library.
The year 2011 will be remembered for everything from the http://www.npr.org/2011/12/17/143897126/the-arab-spring-a-year-of-revolutionand the protests that swept the world to the royal wedding in the spring between Prince William and Kate Middleton in London. It will be remembered for the Penn State sex abuse scandal and here in Ann Arbor for the ...
It's that time of year where many of us make promises of changes we want to make for the New Year. These resolutions can be easily made, but difficult to make them stick. Statistics show that the success rate for keeping resolutions is between 5 and 20 percent depending on ...
I broke one of my cardinal rules for this post-New Year season. I went to the gym. I’m upset by what met me once there but cannot possibly claim to be surprised. Getting in shape wasn’t even my new year’s resolution, but still, like a plane on autopilot, I entered ...
On a high from not yet killing my orchid, I ordered a miniature bonsai Canadian sugar maple! It's not even a tree; it's a seed starting kit. Apparently I now embrace ridiculous high-maintenance indoor gardening. So I officially declare 2011 the Year of Wackiness!
Personal power is just about the coolest thing in the universe, yet it eludes so many of us on a consistent basis and often when we need it the most. This year, I have a crazy idea for dealing with willpower during the holidays. You know willpower, the reluctant invited ...
New Year's Resolutions got you down? Try setting a more attainable goal, customized to fit your needs and your abilities. There’s something about this time of year that prompts a person to reflect on who she has become and how that image may differ from who she ideally would like ...
Let's face it, new year's resolutions have the sticking power of tape on fabric. It's not that the intentions aren't heartfelt. It's not that the desire is lacking. It's not a lack of willpower or focus. It's because the end goal is often too far away. When we set a ...
Losing weight, getting fit, and reducing stress - even the U.S. government made a list of top resolutions, and these all made the cut. Being mindful of our health is something we all need a little help with. This week, I got emails from 2 Ann Arbor stores that gave ...
Carpe diem. Seize the day. Who can disagree with that as a worthy New Year’s Resolution? And yet for many of us, fully enjoying each day remains a perennial challenge despite our best intentions. According to a New York Times report there is a reason for our difficulty. Many of ...
1. Decrease dramatically the amount of time between a student giving me a piece of writing to look at, and when I give it back, looked at. 2. Keep the sarcasm to a minimum. It’s not funny, it’s cheap. Nobody’s growing from it.
Sxth-month-old Cecilia Shand rings in 2010I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around 2010. It sounds like a prescription from the optometrist, or a verse from a song designed to teach kids to count by tens. Backwards. But maybe I'm saying it wrong? Is it "Twenty-Ten" or "Two Thousand Ten?" Or ...
New Year’s Resolutions. I am sure we have all made far more than we have kept. Last year, I was so fed up with making faulty resolutions that I made one that was seemingly fool-proof: learn to make sushi, that was it. Well, goodbye, 2009 and hello, 2010—I am sadly ...
This is the season of good intentions we call “New Year’s Resolutions.” We aspire to lose weight, exercise more, live more balanced lives, de-clutter our homes. In Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy—Until You’re 80 and Beyond authors Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge introduce another goal-setting concept that ...
