In this article we are going to address some of the wonderful questions Adult ADHD people have written in with, asking about how to "focus and finish" with Adult ADHD. Here's a really great one from Judy... Judy says, "My question is finishing the job. I have a number of projects that are 85% done. How do we zero in until it’s completed? Thanks, from Judy." Stephanie: Yes, it's true: when you have Adult ADHD, it's much easier to start projects, and even to get 85% of them done, than to get that last 15% finished. First, you need to be aware of what’s happening here, and that it's no...

How Mr. Collins proposed to Elizabeth Bennet: Not long ago, Mary Patricia and I saw a movie based on the Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. The scenes in which Mr. Collins and Mr. Darcy proposed to Elizabeth Bennet made us cringe with disgust. This is what Mr. Collins says in a boorish preamble: "Almost as soon as I entered the house I singled you out as the companion of my future life. But before I am run away with by my feelings on this subject, perhaps it will advisable for me to state my reasons for marrying-and moreover for coming into Hertfordshire with the design of se...

This October, Amy Speace can add a new highlight to her ever-growing list of accomplishments this year: a string of dates with legendary songstress Nanci Griffith. "Of the many artists that I look up to Nanci Griffith surely is high up on my list of influences," says Speace, "and it will be a huge honor to share the stage with her on these shows. Nanci paved the way for the rest of us trying to bridge the gap between folk and roots and country music." Delivering a perfectly matched opening for Griffith, Speace will play songs from her new album 'The Killer In Me,' "an edgy brew of ro...

Written by Shawn Davis Phone taps are an almost essential part of nearly any investigation. They are very common, and when someone other than the government does a tap on your line, you can usually find it. This is because non-government phone taps usually require some sort of device to be physically present on the scene, or not far from the scene. Because these devices usually involve some sort of a transmitter, you can sweep for phone bugs in order to make sure your home is safe. Government phone taps, however, are different. Nothing is physically present at your home. There are no transm...

Have we, as an interested group in music education, damaged our own efforts simply by labeling it as "music advocacy?" I, along with many music educators, am very thankful for "VH1 Save the Music," and other music advocacy efforts. But only those who are already passionate about the value of music education truly champion those efforts. Although the term, "music advocacy," has its place within the circle of music supporters, it is a misrepresentation in general society. The word, "advocacy," indicates helping an underdog. It places it in a category of sympathetic efforts toward something ...

Apple announced the iPad with a great big fanfare but in fact for publishers the iBook app is probably the main event. Harper Collins, Penguin, Hachette and Macmillan have already signed with Apple to sell their content through iBookstore in EPUB format. However, other publishers are developing their e-book ranges with caution as there are some issues that are currently unresolved. The current issues and arguments * From a publisher’s point of view, an e-book sold at a lower price point is lost revenue as it means the loss of a higher priced printed copy sale, so e-books com...
