Imagine if your Apple Watch could tell you which days were best for you to do a workout, and what kind of workout you should do. Well it can, sort of, thanks to a hidden feature that few people have yet discovered or know how to use.

Heart rate variability, or HRV, is a new metric that reveals your stress level and whether you have recovered from your last workout. It has been added to lots of high-end sports watches in recent years, including Apple Watch since watchOS 4 & iOS 11.

Here’s how you can use it to optimize your training, reduce your risk of injury, and know when to take a well-earned rest day.

‘Listen to your body’ or ‘no pain, no gain’?

How do you know when you should train, and how hard? If you’re feeling aches and pains, should you take a break or train through it?

A lot of people say you should listen to your body, and never work out if you don’t feel great. The problem with that advice is that if you took it literally, you might end up never working out at all.

Running, cycling, swimming and most other sports come with an element of pain. That’s all a part of the deal. “No gain without pain,” as the saying goes. If it was easy, then everyone would do it. If you want exceptional results, you must push yourself harder than most people are willing to do. But how hard?

It’s a perennial problem for every athlete, whether you are a serious baller or a weekend warrior. Push yourself too hard and you risk getting injured, which could set you back months. Don’t push yourself hard enough and you’ll never make any gains.

How heart rate variability can help

Heart rate variability is a way of detecting the level of stress your body is under. Generally speaking (and a little counterintuitively), the higher your HRV, the lower your stress levels.

Lots of different things put your body under stress. Some of the most common causes are sickness and worrying, which are obviously not good things. But stress is not always a bad thing. Exercise, for example, is good for you, but it also increases your stress levels, sometimes for many hours after you finish a workout.

So HRV can be a complicated stat to interpret. However, if you follow the trends in your HRV over time, you can start to recognize patterns in how it changes, and how your body is responding to exercise, anxiety and sickness. When your HRV is unusually low, that may be a sign that you are under the weather, in which case you should probably skip a workout. Or at least go for a low-intensity workout, or do something relaxing instead, like some meditation or yoga.

How to find your HRV in the Apple Health app

To measure your HRV, you need a Series 1, 2 or 3 Apple Watch. (The original “Series 0” model does not support HRV).

To get an HRV reading, you can use either the Workout or Breathe apps on your watch. Once you have completed a workout or breathing session, your HRV reading is displayed in the Health app on your iPhone, although you will have to do a bit of digging to find it.

In the Health app, go to the Health Data tab and tap on Heart. Then scroll down to Today and you should find your HRV data listed. If it doesn’t show up there, this probably means your watch has not taken a reading today.

What exactly is heart rate variability?

As the name suggests, heart rate variability is a measurement of the amount that your heart rate varies over time. Apple measures this with a metric called SDNN, the standard deviation between two normal heartbeats (that’s the N and N bit).

In other words, a low HRV means your heart rate is more rhythmic like a metronome, while a high HRV means your heart is not so rhythmic — like when I try to dance. Actually, it’s not quite as bad as my dancing. HRV is measuring very subtle differences, which can only be detected by sensitive equipment like your Apple Watch (more on that later). So even when you’re HRV is high, it should still feel pretty regular.

The regularity of your heartbeat is controlled by your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. When you exercise, the sympathetic nervous system kicks in to make changes in your body. When you finish exercising, your parasympathetic nervous system returns your body to its normal state.

As a part of this process, the sympathetic nervous system elevates your heart rate and makes it more regular, whereas the parasympathetic nervous system lowers it again when you have finished and allows it to become less regular and more responsive to your body’s needs from one moment to the next.

The Breathe and Workout apps will probably give you different results

Since your HRV changes when you are exercising versus when you are at rest, you are likely to get different results when you use the Workout app versus when you use the Breathe app. So it’s a good idea to use both, to get a fully rounded picture of your HRV over the day.

To check these different readings, open the Health app. On the HRV screen, tap on Show All Data and then select a specific day. You can check all the individual readings taken when you used the Workout and Breathe apps for that day.

How to use and improve your HRV

There’s more to HRV than just idle curiosity. When you get used to looking at your HRV and you have established a baseline (i.e. what normal readings look like for you), you can then use it to help you decide what kind of workout you should do.

When you have a low HRV, that suggests your body is under some stress. Maybe you did an intense workout the previous day and your body is still recovering from it, in which case you have earned yourself a rest day.

When your HRV is higher than average, that might mean you’re in top form and your body is ready for a more challenging workout like a HIIT session.

If you’ve been unwell — from a cold, for example — you might notice that your HRV is lower than usual, and it might be wise to hold off on exercise until it returns down to your normal level.

Remember that HRV is just one metric, and it’s not infallible. You should use it as an extra indicator of how you are doing. Obviously, if you feel like death warmed over, it’s not a great idea to do a workout however high your HRV might be.

How does your heart rate variability compare to norms?

Like most stats relating to the human body, HRV can vary a lot from one individual to another. What is normal for one person may not be normal for someone else, and these differences are not usually anything to worry about. Highly trained individuals tend to have a higher HRV than untrained people. And HRV tends to decline with age. There are also differences between genders. And those with existing heart conditions may have a lower HRV.

That is why it is important to watch how your personal HRV changes over time and get a feel for what is normal for you — your baseline.

That said, if you are interested in how your HRV compares with other people’s, a paper published by The Journal of the American College of Cardiology found the average SDNN for someone in their 20s was 72ms, while in their 30s this went down to 64ms.

Don’t stress the importance of HRV

It can be tempting to look at these stats and worry about them if you don’t think they look right. The problem with that is that HRV is a measurement of stress, and worrying will really stress you out. In fact, worrying can have a far bigger impact on your HRV level than exercise.

So if you are otherwise healthy, and you find these stats worry you, then just don’t look at them. Seriously.

Improving HRV accuracy

Measuring and interpreting HRV is a tricky business, once the exclusive domain of qualified medical professionals. Apple Watch is great because it democratizes this information, giving us mere mortals access to it as well.

But Apple Watch is not (yet) a medical-grade device, and HRV is a very subtle and tricky thing to measure. Some experts even claim that it is impossible to measure with the kind of wrist-based sensors used by Apple Watch. You can boost the accuracy of your HRV stats by connecting a Bluetooth chest strap, like the Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor.

The undiscovered secrets of Apple Watch

HRV is just one more example of how far Apple Watch has come since it launched three years ago. With each update to watchOS, Apple adds more useful fitness metrics. In fact, Cupertino’s wearable can now provide so many stats that a lot of them are easy to miss. (Another one is the heart rate recovery feature I wrote about previously.)

It is probably no accident that Apple hid these advanced features, because making sense of them requires some knowledge. But if you make the effort to understand exactly what your Apple Watch is telling you, stats like HRV can really help you take your training to the next level.

How to Optimise Frontline Engagement with a Cloud Contact Centre

Cloud Computing diagramCloud contact centres allow you to handle customer interactions, provide customer service and answer customer calls through a web-based platform. CX Cloud, which is powered by Enghouse Interactive, enables businesses to maximise the potential of their contact centre.

Of the many benefits a cloud contact centre can offer your business (particularly in comparison to a premises-based model), its ability to optimise frontline engagement is one of the most attractive. In boosting frontline engagement, your contact centre can facilitate improved customer interactions and support, helping your business grow.

Benefits of a Cloud Contact Centre for Frontline Engagement

Significantly Reduce Overheads

Switching from a premises-based contact centre to a cloud-based one can significantly reduce overheads. This is because you will no longer need to pay for things like infrastructure costs – including rent, utilities and internet – or hardware. The cloud enables you to harness the potential of the latest software without having to use or pay for excess resources.

These significant savings mean that your business can direct money into other aspects of your cloud contact centre; for example, providing your agents with more training and job satisfaction, optimising your frontline engagement.

Increased Flexibility

A cloud-based contact centre delivers flexibility and scalability that premises-based centres cannot. Coud contact centres are able to attract and employ agents from remote locations all around the world. Not only does this both increase the pool of available talent for recruitment and potentially improve employee satisfaction and retention – which in turn improves the customer experience – but it also means that your business is able to provide customers with extended hours of support thanks to having employees working within different time zones.

Furthermore, if at any time your contact centre is inundated with more customers than your existing team can handle, you can swiftly and easily add more agents.

Business Continuity

While many small-to-medium businesses need business continuity, the protocols and processes that enable this are often too expensive to implement. However, business continuity is inherent to cloud-based contact centres—safeguards and redundancy are built into the network. From a frontline engagement perspective, this is incredibly useful; it ensures quick data recovery, which minimises downtime.

Furthermore, with sound business continuity protocols in place, businesses can deliver superior levels of customer service at all times, even if unforeseen circumstances arise. This is because cloud contact centres have the ability to add new agents or adjust call-routing in seconds. Likewise, if adverse events impact agent availability in one geography, cover can be provided via remote agents in others.

Reduced Downtime

Cloud contact centres almost completely eradicate the need for scheduled maintenance, which is vital as customer expectations demand real-time and immediate solutions, requiring your centre always to be available.

With cloud-based centres, you don’t have to worry about hardware issues or available IT resources, which could significantly delay problem solving for premises-based centres. Instead, the software is maintained by your provider, who remotely manages all feature and maintenance/compliance upgrades for all end users without impacting their environment. Another benefit of the eliminated downtime for upgrades is that users of Cloud solutions are able to benefit from a continuous rollout of new features, which can be released regularly and in a timely fashion, instead of months and even years elapsing before appropriate funding is earmarked, and a suitable window is found. Frontline engagement is enhanced by equipping staff with the best, latest tools for their jobs.

Additional CX Cloud Features to Boost Frontline Engagement

Integrated Interface

CX Cloud enables multi-channel routing and queuing which allows everything from calls and emails through to chat, SMS and social media to be streamlined into a single interface. This enables frontline agents to efficiently deal with customers which ultimately produces successful customer interactions.

Enhanced Efficiency

Ultimate efficiency can be achieved with the help of CX Cloud’s chatbots, dashboard and analytics. AI can ease the burden of high-volume repetitive enquiries, which frees up agents’ time and allows them to deal with more complex and interesting engagements. Furthermore, analytics help to provide the agent with a better understanding of the customer and their journey, enabling them to immediately start problem solving instead of having to recap the customer’s entire history.

Moreover, AI is constantly evolving and improving and, nowadays, organisations are able to apply speech analytics to examine not only the content of interactions, but the emotions of a customer as well.

Consistent Quality

CX Cloud enables all interactions (both screen and voice) to be recorded and assessed for quality assurance. This not only helps to ensure that customers consistently receive exceptional customer service, but it also provides resources for potential dispute resolution. On top of this, a top of the line quality management solution also helps ensure that all interactions are in compliance with legal, government and industry requirements and regulations.

Integration with CRM

CX Cloud is able to provide your business with tight integration with multiple best-of-breed cloud CRM applications, including Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics. This can help to drastically improve frontline engagement as it provides context to agents for each interaction, presenting relevant customer details along with the customer’s complete interaction case history and buying history.

Ultimately, cloud-based contact centres can optimise your business’s frontline engagement by improving customer interactions in myriad ways. Furthermore, CX Cloud can further enhance an organisation’s frontline engagement through affordances which provide customers with instant, reliable and superior customer service.

Discover EDRO III

Discover EDRO III with us this summer!

The EDRO III was a cargo ship built in 1966 in Norway, which ran aground off Pegeia on 8 December 2011 in heavy seas. At the time of the collision there were 9 crew onboard, who were rescued and airlifted to the safety of Paphos by a local military.

This wreck is 95m long and 14.5m wide and sits on the reef at 6m, weighing about 2,300–2500 tons. Together with a German company, a Cypriot marine salvage company removed all diesel, hydrocarbons and marine pollutants on board the vessel, as well as making the hull watertight. This was completed in October 2013.

Due to the position and possible danger of the wreckage, nobody is allowed on the ship.

Surrounding this wreck are a series of swim throughs and gullies. You can also find an abundance of mediterranean marine life such as wrasse and sea bream. Follow the anchors of this great wreck and reach depths of around 20m, find gullies and swim-throughs. Find the main features of the wreckage such as a forklift, ladders and propellers at 5/6m.

We will be adding EDRO III to the 2021 schedule, accessible by either boat or shore!

    On this episode of Home Front, we discuss the repeal of Obamacare with Abigail Nobel. Abigail understands both the medical and political aspects of of this issue, having worked many years in the healthcare profession and holding both a Bachelor of Science in nursing and a Master of Arts in politics. Abigail is currently a public speaker, health policy nurse consultant and publishes articles on health related matters at her website, Dewdrops of Health.

  • Healthcare, Obamacare and HIPAA

    Why not fill out the HIPAA form when you go to the doctor? Have you had enough of Obamacare yet? There’s plenty of talk about what a mess it is, why hasn’t it been repealed?

    On today’s show we interview Twila Brase, Founder of the Citizens Council for Health Freedom (www.cchfreedom.org). In the interview, our guest reveals some of the dirty little secrets about obamacare’s origins, starting with the HIPAA laws from the Republican majority Congress.

    You’ll learn not only how we got into this mess, but what options are available to get us out of it.

Chrysoroyiatissa Monastery is located at a beautiful location near the Panagia village, west of the Paphos forest.

The monastery was founded in 1152 A.D by the monk Ignatios who found the miracle icon of the Virgin Mary in the area of Moulia in Paphos. The miracle icon was said to have been painted by the Evangelist Loukas.

Ignatios transferred the icon to the mountain and built the monastery, to which he dedicated to the Virgin Mary Chrysorogiatissa. The monastery’s buildings are dated from 1770 an have an important collection of icons and treasures. The church is located at the centre of the monastery. The hagiographies which are above the three entrances will impress you. The icon of the Christ and the Virgin Mary which is at the monastery is also considered to have been painted by the Evangelist Loukas. It is also covered with gold and silver.

At the monastery, a centre of protection for byzantine and after byzantine icons as well as other treasures operated there. Recently a byzantine museum was created. In front of the main entrance of the monastery is a café- restaurant with a panoramic view.

Inside the monastery there is a variety of religious icons and treasures on display. One statue that attracts the most attention is that of the Virgin Mary which is made of pure silver. On the 15th August a celebration is held in honor of the Virgin Mary as it is believed on this day she slept but did not wake up. The word death is not used as the ‘Our Lady of the Golden Pomegranate’ is in deep sleep, but her other senses and organs like her heart and brain are still working.

The Other Side Of Farming

The story of the mad girl from the village who listened to no one

Every village has one. The girl who listens to nobody, but her own heart. Here’s a story of one.

 |  The Other Side Of Farming  |  4-minute read |   06-04-2021
  • ---
    Total Shares

I shan’t tell you her name, so let’s call her Mumtaz. When she was thirteen, her mother married a Sikh and she became Mamta. Her sister, three years older, clung to her Muslim name and remained Shayarana. There was a third girl I didn’t know that well because she ran away when the father died and her mother said ‘yes’ to this burly bearded man in a turban with two married daughters of his own. Mamta loved her new father, who was the second driver on our farm.

Naturally, the sisters came to work too. They were both beautiful and saw their loveliness in the eyes of the men. I was twenty-three and they would walk past me giggling and clearing their throats in imitation of me. This eves’ teasing was a very private interlude that no one else saw. Of the two, Shayarana’s glance lingered longer on my reddened face, and she worked harder than the rest like there was a special status I’d accorded her. Mamta was the clown.

main_village-girl_ge_040621115638.jpgMamta stood in the doorway and said her mother had sent her over to see if there was any work for her. (Representative photo: Getty Images)

She stole mangoes knowing I watched and ran squealing if the orchard watchman yelled at her. I pretended not to notice. I didn’t acknowledge most of the mischief she created for my benefit only. She lagged behind others and you found her lips deliberately smeared in mulberries, obviously shaken from the lone tree. She walked like a drunkard in my line of vision. She started carrying a kerchief like I did and blew her nose delicately as a lady would and ran away cackling at my perplexed expression. I had seen her hanging on the branch of a tree like a corpse with her eyes wide and tongue hanging out. She even drove the tractor into a ditch. She cared little that I was the master and she had no business messing with me.

Holi came once a year and I detested the day. I left for the farm in the dark with provisions that included two litres of orange juice and a kilo of chicken. Each year I would cook and enjoy the feast on my own. Nobody came to work, making it the most special occasion for me. The condiments for my dish were freshly ground on a flat stone with another smaller flat stone. The paste stuck to the meat as it slow-cooked. Its aroma rode the breeze and, I imagined, made mouths water in the village. The orange juice seemed no less than the rarest wine. Not a word ever disturbed the peace, except that afternoon.

Mamta stood in the doorway and said her mother had sent her over to see if there was any work for her since Holi in the village was a boisterous affair and she wanted none of it. She even chewed her inner cheek while she told me all this, once again making fun of me in that quiet intimate way of hers. She was fifteen now and held my gaze like her sister — married and gone — had done. I stared blankly before me trying to gather my wits, and at last, told her to carry bhusa from one shed to the other. That would occupy her for the day.

Around five, after my chicken and rice, I wandered down to check on her, stomping my feet to warn her I was coming in case she was asleep on the job. She was there hauling away high up on a yellow mountain of bhusa from last year. She had been working. I smiled, she didn’t. And then something extraordinary happened. The young woman pulled down her blouse and exposed her breasts.

main_woman-silhoutte_040621115825.jpgMy heart was breaking to bits for the mad village girl who listened only to her heart. (Representative photo: Reuters)

The shock socked me in the gut. The shed swam left to right. I shut my eyes. There was no one on the farm. I wanted to escape and I wanted to stay. I knew full well I had to run, but I didn’t know how to. It was my turn to pretend I’d noticed nothing. Without a word, I left the darkness. My heart was breaking to bits for the mad village girl who listened only to her heart.

In six months I heard she had run off with a boy, the son of a contractor. A Muslim boy. His family didn’t want her like she was a sparrow that had fallen out of the nest and been returned. She was the daughter of a Sikh now. Her own heartbroken stepfather didn’t want her anymore. She was married when they found she was pregnant. She was only fifteen.

Mamta and her baby died at childbirth. And all I can do is tell her story without giving away her real name.

Artist's Notes

Artist's Notes:

I read an essay today by a great writer I just discovered, Lily King. She talks about the difference between teaching and writing. But I think it applies to any kind of teaching/creating.

She says she loves teaching, but that she "cannot approach any kind of writing with [her] English teacher brain. That's the brain that wants to analyze, find themes and metaphors and motifs and irony and resonance, to deconstruct and reify and measure authorial distance. That brain expects perfect and immediate cohesion (or deliberate disruption) of all fictional elements. That brain needs to be banished from the process - or at least from writing the first draft."
"Because that brain cannot create a thing. All it can do is dissect and evaluate and criticize. When you are writing something new, when you are in the blank-page stage, what you need, all you need, is your creative, sensual, wide-open brain. Your creator, not your critic."
Amen, sister.

DPW Auction

How is the Ending of a DPW Auction Different?

Important: All auction ending times are in central time (CDT).

There is no more last second bidding!

Online auctions, which end at a fixed time, can cause anxiety and end in dissapointment when you lose the auction to someone who was simply able to outbid in the last seconds.

DPW Auctions auto-extend themselves to one minute remaining when any bid is placed within the last minute of the auction's end.

This means the auction ends only when there is no more bidding in the last minute. This approach allows the bidder who wants the painting the most to buy it without out any sense of panic.

No need to frantically click the refresh button!

A DPW Auction page will automatically update itself to show the latest bidding during the last 10 minutes of an auction. There is no need to click the refresh button, simply sit back and watch the timer count down the seconds remaining and be automatically alerted if anyone outbids you.
DPW Auction

How does the DPW Auction Buy It Now Option Work?

An artist can choose to offer a Buy It Now option for a DPW Auction. This option will remain available until the first bid is placed, after which the Buy It Now option disappears.

When you click the Buy It Now button, you will be taken to a PayPal page where you can pay.
DPW Auction

How does DPW Auction Bidding Work?

DPW Auctions uses the familiar Max Bid proxy approach.

When you place a bid, you are specifying the maximum you are willing to bid and you are agreeing to allow DPW to place bids automatically for you up to that maximum when others place bids higher than your high bid.

DPW will automatically place bids on your behalf, up to this maximum, as others bid.

If someone else places a bid equal to your maximum, then an auto-bid equal to your maximum is place for you and you remain the highest bidder.

No one else, not even the artist, knows what your maximum bid is. This keeps another bidder from entering a new bid, just under your maximum, simply to push the high bid up.

If someone else places a bid greater than your maximum, then they become the new highest bidder and the new high bid is equal to your last max bid plus the minimum increment in the following table:

Minimum Bid Increment

You can increase, but not decrease, your max bid at any time.

How does DPW Auction Following work?

You will also receive a notification email when the auction ends.

Nashville Hit-Maker Chris Young Honed His Skills in an Arlington Honky-Tonk

Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.

In 2005, country music hit singer and songwriter Chris Young was fronting the house band at Cowboy's Dancehall in Arlington. But by the spring of 2006, it seemed as though the No. 1 smash hits would be just around the corner for the Tennessee-born and raised crooner after he easily took home the prize on the fourth season of the now long-gone television series Nashville Star. After wowing celebrity judges and millions of country fans with his near-perfect baritone, greater stardom didn't come as easily or as quickly as many had predicted, and especially not as soon as Young had hoped it would.

Fast forward to 2009, and that had changed. Beginning with the almost-too-country-for-country-radio megahit "Gettin' You Home," Young belted out five consecutive No. 1 singles as 2010 rolled into 2011. On top of that, he picked up a couple of ACM awards.

Some might consider 2012 a down year for Young, what with his only releasing a couple of singles that dented the charts, but those tunes came from his record Neon, which stands as arguably his best album. On the heels of his return to the Top Five of the Billboard chart, with the Gold-selling trendy party anthem "Aw Naw," and the release of A.M., Young's newest album, we spoke with Young over the phone about manscaping, the art of picking songs instead of writing them and his time in North Texas.

This past sumer, you suffered through an infection casused from an in-grown hair in your leg. Would a bit of manscaping have prevented all that grief?

It's hard to explain, because it wasn't caused by anything I did. That was really the scariest part of the whole thing. I mean, it was an ingrown hair that I got out of my leg. It wasn't a big deal and it didn't look strange, but as the little cut I made existed, some bacteria found its way in there and it decided to get bad as I was on a plane to Denver. Completely random, and I do not recommend it. Septic shock isn't a lot of fun.

So, manscaping may have caused the infection instead of preventing it?

No. No manscaping, here. At all.

The song "Text Me Texas" from your latest album features some modern techie lingo with a really nice, traditional country arrangement. Was that combination intentional?

That's a song I found when I was writing with a couple of guys, and I asked them if either of them had something I would dig for the new record. That song was the first thing they played for me and I loved it. I don't even think the song is super traditional as much as it's very bare and open. There's not a lot on the track to get in the way of the song just being what it is. I do like the juxtaposition of the under-produced song and the technology reference. I'm glad I got to this one before anyone else did because people have asked me about writing it, because they assumed it was one of mine. Anytime you get that reaction, it means it's something you should cut as an artist.

Who were the guys you were writing with when you first heard the song?

Well, there were three guys that wrote it, actually. Shane MacAnally [Mineral Wells native and Kacey Musgraves co-writer], Rhett Akins and Josh Osborne.

Often, fans and critics can get pretty snobby about their opinion that artists should write their own material. You only wrote a few songs for this album, but there's got to be an art to picking the right songs to cut, isn't there?

This is the least I've written on any of my albums because I found so many great outside songs. For me, when I'm picking a song to cut, I just go with my gut. If I hear a song and say to myself, "Man, I wish I had written that song!" then as an artist, I feel like that means I need to cut it. If you end up cutting a song that doesn't sound like something you would say, it won't sound the way it needs to. The aspect of picking a song that isn't yours and making it yours is really important, I think.

You led the House Band at Cowboy's Dancehall in Arlington before you were on television. Is that a humbling experience aspiring artists should go through before they go to Nashville to hit it big?

I actually don't look at my time there as a humbling experience. I loved that gig. It was a chance for me to learn in a big room. I've gone back there already and played as an artist. Sure, before being in the house band, I had the gigs where I brought my own P.A. and played for four hours, then tore down and loaded my truck by myself for maybe $100. I definitely think people should go through that and play those kinds of gigs. It was all a great learning experience for me.

There were a few years betwen winning Nashville Star and landing your first number one hit. What kinds of doubts did you battle during that time period?

If I hadn't have had "Gettin' You Home," I wouldn't have even been a one-hit wonder since nothing of mine had been past No. 37 on the charts prior to that song. Before I did Nashville Star, I had some interest from certain labels, but nothing had panned out. So I did the show, and it's how I got my record deal, which I'm grateful for. Once you are on a show like that, you can't rewind time and do things differently, so it's all been kind of weird, but I'm really happy with how my career has turned out. The label kept me around as I went from winning a reality show to not having any success with my first four singles. You don't hear about that happening too often. People talk a lot about the nasty side of the record labels, but I've been one of the really lucky people. While I wouldn't take anything back, there have definitely been a couple of times where I thought, "Crap, I'm going to get dropped!"

You, of course, did start having hit songs, but there was a gap between major hits for you, until "Aw Naw" went Gold recently. Will you now always have the pressure of making hits on you when you release a new album?

Yeah, I think so. I didn't really risk a sophomore slump until my third record since my first one didn't do so well. Anytime you put an album out, there's going to be nerves, though. No matter what you've done or how well you've done in the past, each project has to stand on its own and be special. I put pressure on myself, too. But for me, now, this is my fourth record and I'm really happy with it, and the fans seem to like it too, since the first single did so well. I like to think I thrive on that kind of pressure.

Chris Young Performs at Cowboy's Dancehall in Arlington on Friday December 6th.

Mat and Steph's wedding!

Yep, it's tomorrow. How exciting! It's the first wedding that I've been in (aside from my own, obviously). :-)

The rehearsal is tonight...should be a blast. I'll be uploading photos in real time and I'll try to do the same tomorrow, but standing on stage kinda' prevents one from holding up a camera, but I shall do my best. The pictures will all be on Flickr and tagged "MatAndSteph" so be watching for them. Cool? Cool. That makes two posts in one day for me. A rarity indeed.

The original settlers of the 'Limestone Plains' (present day Canberra) came to the new territory with basically only their flocks of sheep and small herds of cattle. Upon arriving to establish a 'station' or 'run' tents were used by the new colonists as accommodation until such time as slabs of timber were split and used to erect 'slab huts'.

Slab Hut - Wikipedia article (here)

Native timbers of the area were used for housing, stockyards and outbuildings. These huts were replaced over time by more substantial timber houses and sometimes of pise' (rammed earth) like Rose's Cottage (post here) at Isabella Plains. The more substantial homesteads, buildings and church were built of stone.

The Duntroon Dairy (post here) built  in 1832 was the first stone building on the Limestone Plains. It was made of material collected from the adjacent Mount Pleasant. In 1833 the owner of the 'Duntroon Estate' (post here) Robert Campbell (1769-1846)(bio here) ordered a stone dwelling be built on his land. He called that dwelling 'Limestone Cottage'.

Duntroon Dairy.

The nearest settlement in the 1830's was many weeks journey through rugged bush land with many water crossings along the way. The road (track) south from Sydney that was established by convict labour was not appropriate to carry heavy loads. Early settlers had no choice other than to be self sufficient in their appropriation of building materials.

Campbell used convicts and stone masons he employed from Sydney and built 'Limestone Cottage' using local stone to create an imposing building. The stone could have come from several locations including Mount Ainsley (post here), Kensendorlffes quarry,  Red Hill quarry or the Black Mountain Quarry. The small colonial quarry on the eastern slopes of Black Mountain provided sandstone building blocks to early structures on the 'Limestone Plains'.

Blundell's Cottage wall.

Between 1840 and 1845 the quarry supplied stone for the St Johns Anglican Church (post here) and schoolhouse paid for by Robert Campbell and built on land donated by him to the church. He and family members are buried there. 'Blundell's Cottage' (post here),
a small stone cottage on 'Duntroon' was built about 1860.

The stone of St John's Church

Today the area at the face of the quarry has Australian National University buildings on it and is not open to the public. The photos below are pretty poor because the weather was wintry and it was pouring rain.

12 things I want engaged couples to know

couple looking at a document

I do a lot of premarital counseling and I really enjoy it. It is fun to work with couples in this exciting stage of their lives. Everyone who is seeking to get married should get premarital counseling by an experienced pro-marriage counselor. This can be a pastor, LPC, psychologist, LMFT, MSW, etc., as long as they have experience and are pro-marriage). Many counselors are in fact not pro-marriage, as I wrote about in another post.

Here are the top 12 things I want engaged couples to know:

  1. This romantic stage of your relationship will not last forever. When it wears off, don’t freak out and don’t think the love is gone and the relationship is ending. Enjoy it, but when it begins to fade, don’t spend your life trying to recover it. There are deeper wells of love still out there, and the journey never ends as long as you are alive and on it together.

  2. Love is not all you need to  make a marriage work. Premarital counseling will teach you what those other things are.

  3. Do you want your life together to clearly stand for something? What will it be? Do you agree on it? How will you pursue that together?

  4. You’re going to need to give each other a lot of space, and practice a lot of forgiveness.

  5. Dating will be more important after you are married than it ever was before you got married.

  6. We are all limited by life to some extent, and by biology to various extents, but have all the sex you can. It is your playground — enjoy it.

  7. Kiss and hug regularly — morning and evening. If kissing only happens during foreplay, chances are good the woman is unhappy.

  8. If your partner says they want to see a counselor, don’t make excuses, just go. You can’t win this one (and you probably shouldn’t). Just make sure your counselor is strongly pro-marriage.

  9. The healthier each individual gets, the healthier the relationship will be. Unhealthy people cannot have a healthy relationship.

  10. Learn to say I’m sorry. And then say it. A lot.

  11. Decide whether you are marrying a really good human being. If not, don’t get married. If so, continue to believe deeply in the goodness of that person, and to express that belief to him/her, even when times are hard and disagreements are fierce. Don’t lose faith in each other.

  12. Love does not come naturally. Lust and infatuation do, but love takes practice. But if you keep your vows, you will have your whole lives to get good at it!

Cardamom Streusel Coffee Cake

Plain, low-fat yogurt in the batter helps keep this fragrant coffee cake moist without weighing it down. A middle layer of buttery cardamom-spiced streusel sweetens the deal.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Yields: 10
18 whole cardamom pods
2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. packed light-brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. unsalted butter
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. unsalted butter
1 1/4 c. sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/4 c. low-fat plain yogurt
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cardamom pods on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool completely. Finely grind cardamom in a spice grinder. Pass through a large-mesh sieve; set aside.
  2. Make the streusel: Whisk flour, brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and the salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
  3. Coat a 10-inch nonstick angel-food-cake pan with cooking spray; set aside.
  4. Make the cake: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, the cinnamon, and salt into a medium bowl. Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the yogurt. Mix in vanilla.
  5. Spoon half of the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 1/2 cups streusel. Top with remaining batter. Squeeze remaining streusel into large and small clumps; sprinkle on top of batter. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 10 to 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan by slightly raising removable center piece; invert onto baking sheet, and then reinvert onto wire rack to cool completely.

Cuomo: NY has 400,000 tons of salt for snow storm

Joseph Spector
View Comments

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for most of upstate New York, with as much as a foot of snow expected to hit parts of the Southern Tier and western New York.

Andrew Cuomo

Flood watches and advisories are posted for the lower Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo said late yesterday activated the state's Emergency Operations Center to monitor the storm, which is expected to run through the week.

"I have directed state agencies to ready their resources so we can fight this storm as quickly and efficiently as possible," Cuomo said in a statement. "However, travel may be disrupted during the storm, and I urge people to use caution and plan ahead to stay safe."

Cuomo said state Department of Transportation has 1,444 snow plows and 3,629 operators and supervisors available for this storm, along with 400,000 tons of road salt. DOT is sending 42 plows and 92 operators to the Hudson Valley, Capital Region, and the Southern Tier/Catskills region for the storm.

The nor'easter is pummeling Westchester, Rockland and Putnam with heavy rain and strong wind gusts today.

In Ulster County, the 911 center reported a busy morning with accidents, but Metro-North Railroad was running normally and the only regional airport with significant delays was LaGuardia, the Poughkeepsie Journal reported.

As much as 16 inches of snow is expected to hit the Southern Tier of over the next few days, the Press & Sun-Bulletin reported today.

The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a winter storm warning for the Southern Tier, in effect into 7 a.m. Thursday.

Eight to 16 inches of snow is expected to accumulate in Broome, Chenango and Delaware counties.

In the Rochester area, a winter weather advisory has been issued for Monroe, Wayne, Ontario, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming counties -- with 8 to 10 inches of snow expected over a 48-hour period.

5 Reasons Dentists Send Their Managers to the AADOM Conference

· 6 min read

Jessie Torrey, FAADOM with text, "Real-world insights from AADOM authors"

The ocean of information that exists at the annual AADOM Conference… This text opens a new tab to the conference website… is so vast that our practice administrator started bringing me along with her a few years ago, especially after our dentists realized that this event had become an invaluable aid in the growth of our practice.

I am our business team lead, and we are fortunate to have a large enough practice to allow two team members to be gone at once, and if you do too, I highly recommend it. You’ll cover more ground and double the pearls of wisdom you bring home.

Our dentists now know that when you send a manager to the AADOM national conference, he or she returns with glowing energy, a rejuvenated excitement for his or her career, and a folder full of notes and information that is worth its weight in gold. This revitalized human and new insight can, over the next few months, transform itself into desired results: a practice that runs smoothly, happier team members, improved production, and an increase in revenue.

There are 5 components of the national conference that make these results possible.

5 reasons to attend AADOM’s annual dental office manager conference

1. No interruptions

Let’s start with this basic but crucial requirement. How many times have you said to yourself, “Wow, I wish I could focus on A, B, and C, but there are too many fires to put out, and the revolving door that leads to my desk never stops revolving.”

Not here, baby. You are attending Hogwarts school of practice management and wizardry and are there solely to learn and return back to work as a sorcerer!

2. The energy

I am somewhat of an introvert. I was attending this conference for the first time with our practice administrator, Debbie, who is the textbook definition of an extrovert. I was afraid I would have to jump around and loudly participate in uplifting events (you can do that here, however, if that’s your thing). I was afraid I would have to stand up at a round table full of strangers and tell them 3 interesting things about myself.

What I did not expect was the genuine welcome, kindness, and acceptance that I felt from these total strangers who are fighting the same battles at work that I fight every day. These are people like you who’ve come from near and far to not only help improve their practice but to grow and better themselves through continued education.

My first morning, I attended the first-time attendee’s meeting. It was there that the speaker welcomed us all and told us in so many words, “You have found your tribe, and you will never be alone again.” This turned out to be a true statement.

Every single person that I had the pleasure of interacting with made me feel like I was an old friend. It was truly remarkable. I’ll never forget at the end of my first day, I just looked over at Debbie and said, “I get it.”

3. The speakers

These are the leading professionals in the dental industry, all in one place at one time. They are here to teach, inspire, and answer our many questions.

Usually, in our local chapter, we look forward to having one amazing speaker every three months. But here, it’s daily, and you get to pick the subjects that inspire you and will be of the most value to you and your practice.

The information we have brought back from these speakers has improved our new patient experience, how our team interacts, and made us aware of missed opportunities for revenue that we no longer miss.

4. The sponsors

Usually, we’re the gatekeepers. We don’t want someone interrupting our workday to try to sell us something. This is the beauty of learning what these companies have to offer at the conference.

If they made it to the AADOM national conference, they likely have a product that can benefit your practice, and they are devoting all of their time and assets to help you find out if it’s right for you and your doctor or team.

There are so many resources out there that I had no idea existed. It may be a service that you already have and didn’t realize you weren’t using to its fullest potential. It may even be an insurance company that you work with looking for feedback on improving and offering support. The list goes on.

I can say from firsthand experience that through these interactions with sponsors, we decided which ones to utilize in our practice when we got back, which then saved us money on and improved our marketing, reports more efficiently, the Google reviews have skyrocketed, and our new user-friendly patient communication system has saved us more time and energy than I can even express, especially through this pandemic.

5. Networking

This has been priceless and leads me back to the reminder that you’ll never be alone again.

How often are you in the same place (which may happen to be a beautiful hotel in Boca Raton) with hundreds of other women and men from all over the country that have the same job as you?

Think of all the questions you can ask and help answer.

For example, I may just have stopped by a sponsor’s booth and wonder how they could save us a lot of time and money. So, I ask a few new friends:

  • “Do you use them?”
  • “What do you think of the software?”
  • “How did your patients react when you dropped your PPO?”
  • “How were you able to get the contact information for your provider service representative at MetLife?”
  • “What do you do for social media, and who does your website?”

Think of the possibilities. They’re all practice administrators of BEST PRACTICES. This is why they are there and why you are there.

Not only do you reap benefits from the exchange of information, but you have built lifelong connections that extend far beyond your local bubble of resources. We even had a dental assistant in our office in Raleigh, NC who was moving to Oregon and landed a job before she got there, thanks to connections made at the national conference.

The benefits are endless

Attending a conference like this is certainly an opportunity that not everyone has, but those of us who can be there are grateful.

Being a part of AADOM separates a good practice from a best, and the conference can give you the tools to bring a best practice to the next level.

If you or any member of your team has the desire to improve and grow and the opportunity to attend, you’ll find that the investment pays for itself exponentially. And of equal importance, the relationships you form and the connections you make will strengthen your career and change your life.
