Best Ways in Improving your Self Control
Self-control actually is the ability of subduing your impulses so you are able to achieve longer term goals compared to having to respond to the immediate impulses. It is best that you plan, evaluate and to avoid doing things that you would regret later. The ability of exerting self-control is called to as willpower that allows us to direct our attention towards our goals. This then underlies all kinds of achievement.
Self-control could be considered to as a muscle and just like our physical muscles, we can in fact strengthen it through training. Below are some helpful ways which you could do:
Based from a study which have been published in the journal of Personality and Social Psychology, self-affirmation could in fact help you to acquire more self-control in case you are running out. Every time to when you feel that you cannot do it, you actually create a feedback, which actually is a reminder regarding your limitations. Through the process of thinking positively, you can in fact retrain your responses in situations where you would need self-control.
The process of delaying immediate gratification is likewise considered an effective way. This involves on the ability of waiting to get what you want. Even though this can be difficult, it's not important when it comes to developing self-control. Choosing out a long-term reward over the immediate gratification poses a big challenge in various areas of life. You may in fact use diversionary tactics such as thinking on something else or in walking out from the sight from tempting objects or on the process of reminding yourself that delaying could help to give you more benefits. This must be done repeatedly before you will be able to strengthen your willpower.
Having high levels of stress entice us in surrendering to temptations, which will force you in making decisions based on short term outcomes because the case of decision making will need energy and we are actually low on energy level when we are high on stress. By being relaxed, we can in fact make sound decisions and far reaching positive effects. Self-control actually could give in when we are under high stress, especially if this will involve our emotions. We can then conclude that we are able to learn to manage our stress well, we then are then able to have better self-control.
The ability of actually subduing our impulsivity will actually underlie all types of achievements. It can be quite tempting to indulge towards instant gratification towards our desires and could give us an understanding that this is not beneficial for us, but delaying gratification can be beneficial.

International Hildegard Pilgrimage July 18-28, 2019
July 18-28, 2019, Dr. Annette Esser offers a first international Hildegard Pilgrimage on the new Hildegard Way in the historic land where Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) lived in the 12th century. This Hildegard Way follows a 140 km route from Idar-Oberstein to Bingen along the rivers Nahe and Rhine. On the pilgrimage, we will actually walk (most) of this path. In the center of our path is the Disibodenberg where Hildegard lived for nearly 40 years. We will then take the route via Sponheim (considering her teacher Jutta of Sponheim) and in the end, we will visit the remains of Hildegard's Bingen Monastery at the Rupertsberg and stay at St. Hildegard's Abbey in Eibingen. What makes this pilgrimage more than just a walk is that we will follow the life & work of the Saint and Doctor of the Church and meditate in depth about what it means for us today. Guding us in this will be the 59 meditation- and information-tableauxs that were compiled under the auspices of the Scivias Institute by Annette Esser and other theologians, musicians and Hildegard-experts. They contain 31 Pilgrim's questions.
The International Hildegard Pilgrimage is offered and organized by the Scivias Institute in cooperation with the Naheland Tourism. We offer:
-Tour guidance by Dr. Annette Esser, initiator of the Hildegard Way, teacher of theology, art & geography
- Accomodation in hotels, simple guesthouses and possibly in the Abbey. (Single rooms are mostly not available.)
- 11 x Beakfast, 8 x dinner and lunch-packets
- Transport of luggage and people at certain days
- Entrances to museums et al.
What you need to bring are hiking boots, a small rucksack for the walks, a pilgrim's book to write down about your reflections and some enthusiasm to take up with the walk and the group.
Please also look into www.hildegardweg.eu and for the detailed day-by-day-program in the pdf-file underneath.
Costs will be 1,285 Euro. The official application then will have to be taken by the Naheland-Tourism firstname.lastname@example.com. In regards of any legal or insurance questions what counts are also their buisiness conditions (AGB).

Although Toogood isn't a craftsperson, I do admire her mission to industrialise craftsmanship. She's a designer who is reacquainting man and machine. In short bringing a fresh perspective to the design process.
I liked one of her answers in 'the aesthete' profile in the FT How To Spend it. 'The last thing I bought and loved was a felted wool cardigan by Amy Revier. She hand weaves everything on her loom in Highgate.'
These common threads bring me to the subject of this week's blog, Margo Selby. Selby develops and explores weave on her handloom. She then unites her innovative hand-woven structures with industrial machinery to create three-dimensional fabrics that have become her trademark.
She describes the weaving as slow and methodical. 'The fabric grows, one row or pick at a time, giving contemplation time for design. Once I am happy with a fabric, often after many warps developing the idea, I can explore production with an industrial mill.'
The thing I'm eyeing next, is another question in 'the aesthete.' If asked, I would answer a hand woven-art work by Margo Selby. These paintings with yarn are exquisite abstractions in soft tonal shades in simple asymmetrical geometric shapes. Think Ben Nicholson's June but instead of painted flatness, Margo's compositions sing with woven texture.
For several years she has been building a portfolio of these hand woven designs using a technique called Lampas, which she learnt at Atelier National D'Art Textile in Paris.
I am reserving one before the words gets out…

Folks looking to settle in a Colorado community are made to feel unwelcome by a batch of unruly—and often dangerous—locals in Lippincott's Christian thriller debut.
Karen Gustafson moves to the small town of Rock Creek, Colorado, for a teaching job at the high school. She quickly spots copious illicit activities, from drugs to prostitution, to which cops have apparently turned a blind eye. But it's the Blair House that causes the most trouble. If the property is condemned, the profitable water and mineral rights could be up for grabs. Consequently, the townsfolk are decidedly unfriendly to new arrivals in Rock Creek, fearing that they might want to stake a claim to the Blair House. Karen and others, including Rob and Ruth Browning, a couple repairing their fractured marriage, brave harassment and occasional assaults. An unsolved murder, meanwhile, may indicate that a killer calls the community home. Strong Christian themes highlight Lippincott's novel: many characters, including Karen and rancher/interim pastor (and Karen's romantic interest) Adam Claymore, are devout Christians often inspired by biblical passages. But the religious subject matter doesn't overwhelm the story since characters are struggling, imperfect humans relatable to any reader. The Brownings, for instance, recently separated prior to reuniting in neighboring Ridge View, and even Karen has a secret (she didn't leave her last job voluntarily). The story's main focus is the Blair House, which also involves a mysterious trenchcoat-donning stranger staying at the house and an equally strange woodcutter who waters and whittles on a long-dead tree on the desired property. The recent strangulation death of Gloria Jones, on the other hand, is a much less intriguing subplot. Karen, it seems, enters a murder mystery already in progress; a missing teacher—who may have witnessed the killing—left the position Karen's there to fill. That mystery is likewise resolved without much intervention from the protagonist. By the time the novel ends, the general unease surrounding the Blair House is still an issue, aptly setting the stage for a planned sequel.
Promotes concepts aimed at Christian readers, but it's first and foremost a thriller that will reel in genre fans.

Hanson Brick Integrates Seven Brick Companies Across North America
April 1, 2003
Seven major brick companies from across the continent recently officially became part of the new Hanson Brick. The Charlotte-based company, which sells more than 1.6 billion brick per year, has 22 plants in Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, the Carolinas and Canada. "For Hanson Brick, it's not just about being bigger; it's about being better," said Richard Manning, president and CEO of Hanson Brick and Tile. "Under Hanson Brick's new North American brand, customers will get superb quality, variety and value -- no matter where they live or what product they choose." The integration of the seven companies was a huge undertaking that began in 1999, when Hanson Building Materials America, a subsidiary of London-based Hanson plc, acquired seven major brick companies. Hanson Brick integrates Boren Brick (North Carolina), Richtex Brick (South Carolina), Sipple Brick (Kentucky), Michigan Brick (Michigan), U.S. Brick (Texas), Canada Brick (Ontario) and Briqueterie St. Laurent (Quebec).

Baseball sure is a funny game. 4 game sweep of the Astros baseball sure is fun as well as funny. Who'd a thunk it? Bring on the A's.
Five things that occurred to the Mainframe about the M's dentist-chair-easy victory over Charlie Morton on Saturday night:
What happened, in a general sense, was that Wade LeBlanc gave up 2 easy runs in the second, seemed like it was 4, and Dr. D spent the next hour or so suffering. However, later in the game, with nobody out and two on (?!) the Mariners whacked four consecutive bullets to take the lead 3-2. LeBlanc finished his dentist-like five and dive :- ) and then Scott Servais went a-batter-at-a-time to get to the Twin Closers.
Somewhere in there about the 8th, Guillermo Heredia made a terrific catch in right-center field, somersaulted, and threw to first for a double play. Which was only fair, since Marisnick did the same to us yesterday. The difference was that the more battle-worthy Mariners were able to survive such a catastrophe.
Sugar came in to blow away the 9th-inning Astros.
They said on TV that it was the first time in 2018 that Verlander, Cole, and Morton lost consecutive games together. Which surprised me, because I thought it was the first time in modern baseball that three pitchers like that had botched three games in a row.
When your offense is scoring runs against those three, it is a little bit like spending money in Canada, Mexico, a Scott Adams bitcoin stock share, or a Pokemon store. Not only does your money go three or four times as far, but it will be wasted anyway (once the Astros offense comes up to bat).
Bringing us to...
Traditional theory says put your fast guys in front of your bat control guys in front of your homeroom hitters.… Well, I should say that the most traditional theory says to let Honus Wagner hit .380 in a deadball scenario and win the pennant for you.
Sabe came along and said no, put your on base guys ahead of your slugging guys.
Sabe changed its mind and said put your best hitters where they get 700 AB's. Supposedly it is almost impossible to overreact in this direction; for example, putting Babe Ruth number one and Lou Gehrig number 2 ahead of the rest of the squad would make perfect sense per today's theory. Scott Servais has certainly not overreacted by touching a Bic lighter to the M's offense, going Haniger-Span-Segura-Cruz.
That said, Saturday's win was a Cruz-Seager-Hermann-Healy affair, but don't change the subject. The point is momentum and team self-belief.
Bringing us to...
Who since changing his hand load a week ago has gone 9-for-38 with three doubles and three homers, all baked. Who knows; maybe when the M's get their #3 hitting on base machine back in two days for the Oakland series, we'll begin to see a little bit of that length of the lineup back again.
Dr. D likes the M's chances of taking 3 of 4 in Houston, minimum. Some Mariners fans look at run differential; others look at the standings. Dr. D will be looking at this series in Oakland to cast the deciding vote. He reserves the right to withdraw this vote if necessary.
Thanks to those who have been supporting SSI/DOV. If you'd like to join the ownership group here is the link. And we always appreciate the potatoes in the hobo pot just as much.
Baseball is indeed a funny game. Wouldn't it be something if BOTH the A's and the M's passed the Astros? Who'd a thunk it two months ago? I'm not predicting it, just realizing it is now within the realm of possibility. What if the Astros finish out of the Wild Card entirely?

SYDNEY (Reuters) - The world's biggest fiber cement maker, James Hardie Industries PLC (JHX.AX), cut its earnings guidance on Thursday and said the future of a U.S. home building boom propelling its profit was uncertain, sending its shares tumbling to a more than two-year low.
Buoyant building, especially of houses, in the United States has for years underpinned growth at James Hardie and similarly exposed peers such as building products firm Boral Ltd (BLD.AX) and hardware seller Lowe's Companies Inc (LOW.N).
But with official figures and James Hardie's own sales pointing to a slowdown, the firm appeared to call time on the boom, dropping its full-year guidance window by $20 million and saying even that depended on a housing bounce-back it rates as uncertain.
James Hardie shares had their worst day on Thursday since the 1987 stock market crash, plunging as much as 15 percent to their lowest in 30 months and wiping out A$1.3 billion ($946 million) in market value - and auguring badly for its rivals.
"The big hope that has kept it motoring along over the last five years has been the U.S.," said Evan Lucas, chief market strategist at fund manager InvestSmart.
"They're alluding to the fact that they're expecting a little bit of rocky trading," he said. "Everyone was expecting the U.S. to continue to be the white knight that it is and that was disappointing."
The U.S. housing market, once an engine room for growth, has this year underperformed a robust economy. September housing starts dropped further than expected, with economists blaming the slowdown - exacerbated by a hurricane hitting the Carolinas - on low inventories and rising mortgage rates.
James Hardie said its pace of cement volume growth in the U.S., which comprises 91 percent of total sales, held at 5 percent, while the market had expected growth over 6 percent.
Profit nevertheless rose 17 percent to $160.8 million for the six months to Sept. 30, boosted by the acquisition of a fiberboard panel maker.
However its profit margin was squeezed as freight and raw material costs rose, and Chief Executive Louis Gries said he expected that would persist through the year, prompting the guidance cut.
The company lowered its full-year operating profit forecast to a range of $280 million to $320 million, from $300 million to $340 million made in August.
That was below analyst expectations for annual profit of $313 million to $335 million, and the company said the revised target still depends on housing starts growing.
"Although U.S. housing activity has been improving, market conditions remain somewhat uncertain and some input costs remain volatile," James Hardie said in a statement.
The Ireland-headquartered firm reported net sales of $1.30 billion for the half year, from $1.03 billion a year prior, and declared a half-yearly dividend of 10 cents per share.

Political Science: A Philosophical Analysis
Political Science: A Philosophical Analysis
This book presents a philosophy of political inquiry--a philosophy of science applicable to political science. In this context philosophy denotes, most briefly, thought about thought. Somewhat more broadly, it denotes general conceptions of ends and means, purposes and methods, in scholarly inquiry. Still more broadly, it includes an effort to spell out and clarify both the meaning of crucial words that are employed in scholarly inquiry and the meaning and implications of various assumptions and premises on which such inquiry is, or should be, based.
Though in part descriptive of the ends actually pursued and the means actually employed, the book is in larger part prescriptive or normative. What should political scientists be attempting to achieve? What standards of judgment should guide them in choosing what to do? What criteria should be employed in deciding what to teach and to write--and in appraising what others teach and write? What sorts of inquiry are to be regarded as worth while, and what sorts of accomplishments as satisfying? How should the ends that are chosen be pursued? Many of the words used in answering these questions are vague, making it necessary to devote considerable attention to their meaning. Thus much of the book is designed to enhance conceptual clarity. In addition, the book aims to be both analytical and logical: analytical in identifying the elements that go together to make for high-quality scholarship and logical in identifying relationships among those elements.
The main purpose of the book is thus to contribute to the development of good scholarship in political science. The ingredients of good scholarship that are treated have to do with the choices that scholars make. The assumption is that these choices are likely to be wiser if they are made deliberately and self-con-

The agency retained the 'BBB-' long-term rating on India, which is the lowest investment grade, but comes at a time when the government is unveiling reform measures to bolster growth and revive investment and is expected to be a shot in the arm for policy makers.
Recently released data has pointed to signs of a turnaround in Asia's third-largest economy, while inflationary pressures have eased due to the sharp slide in global commodity and crude oil prices and the measures taken by the administration to cool price pressure.
"The ratings on India reflect the country's sound external profile and improved monetary credibility. These factors, combined with strong democratic institutions and a free press, both of which yield policy stability and predictability, underpin the investment-grade rating on India," the agency said. It said these strengths are balanced against vulnerabilities stemming from the country's low per capita income and weak public finances.
S&P said the government has made progress in building consensus on a passage of laws to address long-standing impediments to India's growth. "These include strengthening the business climate (such as through simplifying regulations and improving contract enforcement and trade), improving labour market flexibility, and reforming the energy sector," it said.
"The stable outlook balances India's sound external position and inclusive policy-making traditions against the vulnerabilities stemming from its low per capita income and weak public finances," S&P said. "The outlook indicates that we do not expect to change our rating on India this year or next based on our current set of forecasts," it said.
Upward pressure on the ratings could build if the government's reforms markedly improve its general government fiscal out-turns and with them the level of net general government debt, so that it falls below 60% of GDP, the agency said.
It cautioned that downward pressure on the ratings could re-emerge if growth disappoints (perhaps as a result of a stalling of reforms), if, contrary to expectations, the new monetary council is not effective in achieving its targets, or if the external liquidity position of the nation deteriorates more than currently expected.
S&P said India's growth outperforms its peers and is picking up modestly and expects GDP growth of 7.4% in 2015 and for it to average just under 8% over 2015-2018. The growth estimates are more or less in line with the government and the Reserve Bank of India's estimates.
The agency said the reforms being undertaken by the RBI and the plan to set up monetary policy committee augured well. "We believe that these measures will support the RBI's ability to sustain economic growth while attenuating economic or financial shocks," S& P said.
"That said, we see some risk that strong inflows to the financial sector combined with higher inflation in India vis-à-vis its trading partners could pressure the real and nominal effective exchange rates, which in turn could hurt competitiveness if not matched by strong productivity growth," the agency said.
S&P said India's external position was a credit strength and expects the current account deficit at 1.4% in 2015 and at similar levels through 2018. This reflects its limited reliance on external savings to fund its growth.
"Our forecasts are partly informed by our view of increased monetary credibility, which dampens the demand for monetary gold imports. In addition, we expect India to fund this deficit mostly with non-debt, creating inflows," it said.
In the medium term, S&P expects improved fiscal performance primarily from revenue-side improvements, brought about by the planned introduction of the general sales tax and administrative efforts to expand the tax base.

The Witwatersrand Woodturners is a club of about 50 woodturners in the Gauteng area that have come together to share the woodturning experience, exchange ideas and experience, and further evolve the art (and craft?) of woodturning.
The principal aim of the Witwatersrand Woodturners (besides furthering woodturning as an art form) is to improve the level of skill of individuals belonging to the club. This is done by having monthly meetings at which a specific project is set and judged by the guru's in the club. Each submitted item is individually discussed to provide members with valuable feedback on improving their output. Regular workshops are held during which beginners are assisted in refining their skills.
Some of the members of the club are producing true artworks, which are sold through galleries around the area and around the country.
The Witwatersrand Woodturners is affiliated to the Witwatersrand Woodworkers Association, which focuses on woodworking in general, and includes disciplines as varied as toymaking, cabinetmaking and socialising.
The Witwatersrand Woodturners meet on the first Monday of the month at Helpmekaar Boys High at 18:00. The school is located in Melle St in Braamfontein.
For more information on the club and on joining in the fun, please send mail to

Lee blogs about how he met his friend Ciara and how their friendship has brought them to campaign together on the issue of media and people with a learning disability. He's passionate about more people with a learning disability appearing on stage and in the media, and shares their story for Learning Disability Week.
Hi, I'm Lee, I'm 19 years old and I'm an actor. I've been a lover of performing arts since I was 14. I come from a family who aren't performers so I've very much had to learn 'on the job' as some may say. I never decided that one day I was going to do performing as my career, it very much just became my life. But that's my story out of the way, now onto the important things.
I met Ciara Lawrence when I went to watch a performance of the Spice Girls Musical Viva Forever at the Piccadilly Theatre in London. Ciara and I talked to each other through Twitter about seeing the show and we met that night. We have stayed in contact since then and our friendship has very much blossomed into something unbreakable.
When getting to know, Ciara she told me that she had a learning disability. Being completely honest, I knew very little about what that meant but Ciara explained how it influences her daily life. I don't have to tiptoe around the word 'disability' with Ciara and any questions I have she is happy to answer.
Over time I could see how passionate Ciara was about her work at Mencap. She strives to make the world more equal for people with a learning disability. These chats with Ciara got me thinking about how I could support actors with a learning disability.
People with a learning disability face barriers to joining the performing arts industry. There seems to be limited number of characters who have a learning disability in shows, and where there are these roles are often played by actors without a disability. Furthermore, the industry does not fully understand the reasonable adjustments needed.
It would seem it's the easier option to hire someone without the 'hassle'. This isn't fair, and it's why I'm so passionate for change! I couldn't imagine being told I wasn't allowed to act because of the way I am, when I knew personally I was capable. My personal view is that anybody should follow the path they believe is right for them regardless of their disability and the world should encourage that! It is so important that we continue to raise awareness and support anybody choosing to do that.
I push to have the passion and commitment that Ciara does, so I can share my knowledge and experience with those I meet as I continue in the performing arts industry. This includes increasing the understanding of what a learning disability is within the sector and also supporting those who have a learning disability.
I currently feel that the industry is slowly developing to encourage actors with a learning disability to perform as a full time job. The world is changing and more people are encouraging others to aim for their goals, despite their race, age, gender or disability.
There are already some fantastic actors out there who have a learning disability – playing characters that have a learning disability and characters who don't. I think that's fantastic. One example is Sarah Gordy, who has also become a Mencap ambassador.
I noticed that there are a very limited amount of actors with a learning disability, on TV and the stage.

Coleman Patterson, Ph.D.
Director of Leadership Studies and Professor of Management and Leadership
Hardin-Simmons University
Abilene, Texas
As a management and leadership professor, I am constantly looking for ways for my students to implement and practice the theories and principles that they read about and study in class.
Simulations, case studies, group projects, various types of research proposals, internships, and experiential learning activities are typical methods used by educators in my field. Most of those techniques are limited in their effectiveness—because many tend to be short-term, lack realism, require minimal buy-in and involvement, allow for free-riders, and incur a relatively low cost of failure. The challenge for educators is to find projects and experiences that allow students to truly experience the skills and principles of leadership, teamwork, and organization in a controlled educational environment.
I remember first presenting the idea to students on June 25, 2009. The date is memorable because it was the day that Michael Jackson died and we were watching the news reports on the television at the DFW airport while waiting to depart for summer school in Vienna, Austria.
The idea was for a student-organized "Bike Ride Across Texas" (BRAT) workshop class. Students would be responsible for all of the planning, organizing, and execution of the project. Unlike many classroom and extracurricular projects, this one would be real—more than just a simulated organization. The routes, equipment, food, safety, lodging, finances, training, and personnel requirements would all have to be determined and secured before the trip could happen. Drawing upon the leadership theories and concepts studied in their courses, student participants would have to use their communication, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership, strategy, planning, and motivational skills to successfully complete the project. It seemed like an interesting and complex project for the students to tackle.
It took more than three years for the right combination of people, interest, and opportunity to come together. Beginning in January 2013, six students began meeting on Thursday mornings to work through the details of the project. Students slowly began charting the route (with the help of Texas DPS), securing bicycles, finding places to stay, soliciting donations, and getting their legs in shape. They also set up three visits to local schools during the mid-point rest break in Abilene to talk with elementary students about fitness, healthy living, and bicycle safety. They also arranged to participate in Abilene's celebration of "National Bike to Work/School Day" at City Hall.
By the time the ride began, we had four bicycles loaned to us by Biketown in Abilene and had secured lodging at churches, hotels, bed and breakfasts, cabins, and a national park along the route. In total, we spent only $30 on lodging and bicycles for the entire trip due to generous donations of sponsoring churches and organizations across the state. A number of individual and corporate donations covered the remaining gas and food expenses.
We left campus on May 11th to drive to El Paso to spend the night in bunk beds in the gym of Grandview Baptist Church. We began a 100-mile ride to Guadalupe Mountains National Park on the morning of Sunday, May 12th. The nervousness and anxiety of the expedition quickly faded as we left El Paso and headed up and over the mountains on the outskirts of town. It didn't' take long to implement our planned system of riding and gain confidence on the road.
The six students and two faculty members traveled in two vehicles. We formed two teams of four riders. The plan was to have two people ride for 10 miles while two others supported the riders with a vehicle. While one team of riders was pedaling, the other team would drive 10 miles ahead and begin a similar 10-mile leg. This "leapfrog" relay method of riding would allow us to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time.
We took turns riding and providing support throughout the first day. By 3:30 p.m., we had reached Guadalupe Mountains National Park, our destination for the evening. A relaxed evening and cool night in tents (temperatures in the 40s) gave us time to reflect and gain confidence in our ability to complete the trip. We had 100 miles behind us and nearly 800 to go.
The second day on the road was mostly peaceful and quiet with episodes of heavy truck traffic while heading to Kermit, Texas. Arriving about 4 p.m., we had conquered another 100+ miles of the route and got to enjoy a relaxed evening at First Baptist Church—Kermit. We talked with a reporter from the local newspaper, uploaded lots of pictures and stories to Facebook, feasted on fajitas, and made a DQ run before going to sleep in the fellowship hall of the church.
The third day presented us with our first road construction detour and the need to fall back on contingency plans. Having already scanned the entire route using Google Earth, we quickly changed course and continued to roll ahead. A favorable wind and pleasant temperatures allowed us to go much further than anticipated. We made it almost all the way to Snyder, but returned to Andrews, Texas for a wonderful and luxurious night at the Casabella Bed and Breakfast.
On the fourth day, we made it back to the Hardin-Simmons University—a day earlier than expected. We were greeted on campus by a fantastic group of supporters who cheered on the students as they reached the mid-way point of the trip. A restful Thursday and school presentations on Friday helped prepare us for the second half of the journey.
On Saturday morning, we set out from Abilene to Graham where we spent the evening at the Best Western Plus and Hockaday Guest Ranch. Sunday's ride ended at a rider's family home in McKinney. Deer Lake Cabins in Scroggins, south of Mt. Vernon, was the layover point on Monday night before completing the trek to Texarkana on the following day. Heritage Baptist Church in Texarkana put us up in hotel rooms in Texarkana. Our university's development office treated us to a celebration dinner at Outback Steakhouse in Texarkana.
On the final day, we drove back to Abilene to complete our journey. We were all genuinely sad that the adventure ended. We half-jokingly talked about pulling a "Forrest Gump" and ride past the state line and to the ocean.
In all my years of teaching, working, and traveling with college students, the BRAT has turned out to be my all-time favorite educational experience. It was real, it was a challenge, it was a team effort, it was an adventure, it provided a well-deserved sense of accomplishment, and it was fun. We got to enjoy a beauty of Texas that is missed when speedily driving across the state in automobiles.
The 2013 BRAT provided us with many lessons. We learned first-hand about skills and principles of leadership, management, and teamwork, and even more about the joys, trials, and adventure of long-distance cycling and the beauty of Texas as reflected in its landscape and people.
In future articles, I will describe some of the special experiences that made our first and subsequent rides across Texas interesting and meaningful. To learn more about our trans-Texas ride and see pictures and read stories from our adventure, visit www.BikeRideAcrossTexas.com.

The Pros And Cons Of Egg Donation
Some women have the opportunity to "donate" eggs and receive hefty compensation in exchange. The decision of whether or not to go through with the endeavor is an intensely personal one, filled with both positives and negatives.
Writing at The Hairpin, an anonymous egg donor spells out the benefits and drawbacks of the process. She says women who are under the age of 33, have never paid for sex, injected illegal drugs or had several recent sex partners have the best chance of passing the screening, which involves mental, physical and medical tests.
Among the pluses are the money — donors can make as much as $10,000 in the process — as well as the knowledge that you're helping someone who otherwise might not be able to have a baby.
Minuses include a traumatic surgery process that grounds donors for two days afterward, and also having to hold off from sex until after their next period.
Four Good Reasons to Donate Your Eggs & a Couple Dozen Reasons Not To [The Hairpin]

Its taken weeks, but I finally finished my first piece of ''sewing my own clothes lifetime project'' and I think I'm finally over a fear I was developing about not being to do this.
I am enamored with French Country clothing, as it happens, and with Les ours d'Uzes in particular. I adore Magnolia Pearl and some Robin Kaplan too. But mostly it is the gauzy linen fabric in organic tones that I find with Les Ours, and is what I want as a foundation for my clothes. I have had to spend many hours, weeks, time online to find a company that has a lightweight one that I will need because I live in hot Florida and all my fabrics have to be airy and light and I found one I love so much after I wash and dry it, that I sleep with it LOL. I not only love the lightness of linen gauze, but the durability, the way linen ages. the way it washes, and especially its texture. I am very much a texture person, and love quality. I almost don't care about color so much, whether it is subtlety present or even absent, as long as the texture is beautiful, rich and earthy. Les Ours does this exceptionally well, in my opinion. But because I cannot afford their clothing and in fact have not even been able to find out where I can buy them, and ''badly wanting'' is not a good feeling, I decided I finally had to get creative and make my own clothes as previously mentioned, as being helpless, or feeling financially trapped not able to buy what I want, just isn't my way. So I decided if Medieval people can design and make their own clothes, so can I.
And truly the Medieval people have been my inspiration, because they had no schools, no computers, no books, etc, and yet the women of those times were able to design and make their own clothes which many of their styles have lasted into our era! and they even crafted clothing for the Royalty of their age, which means, extravagant designing and tailoring, figuring out how to do something new etc.....and this inventive ingenuity has been my inspiration to teach myself to make what I want.
In fact it is their designs, having been going to Medieval Renaissance festivals every year of my life for 35 years and having alot of their clothes which are made by those who sell them there, who inspired my love of old time, practical design. I am enamored of full skirts, petticoats, peasant blouses, and layers upon layers of clothing, I also love their textures, fabrics and dying systems. In Florida I can no longer wear layers and layers as I used to in New York, so the fabric now has to be very light. I needed a better fabric, namely linen gauze :D or silk.
So I begin sewing.
Can you believe this....turns into something beautiful.....aren't peoples hands amazing???
And proudly I have reverse engineered LOL something I saw which I just had to have, it was one of those things where you just wouldn't be happy without having at least this one piece, and simple as it is, it draws at my heart for it expresses me so I could live day and night in it. My favorite colors are white with ecru together, or any similar pairing.
|Les Ours d'Uzes
I looked at this and wondered again about those Medieval people and how they would go about making something by eye....well this is what I had to do. I am self taught in everything I do, and I mean everything. It is almost uncanny why I never had teachers for anything, but I do well.
In my quest to learn to sew either, I don't have teachers, I can't take classes, searching online for how to do something you have specifically in front of you doesn't work, and I'm not going to university to become a designer. Medieval craftspeople didn't do it that way either. I guess I'm a very indepedent person and I do like figuring things out myself, (yet hate getting stuck) and I find there is some organic and natural realism in this process, and my brain functions smoothly learning in this way. This doesn't mean however, that I would refuse any help from anyone who offered in a show and tell format! God how I'd love that!,.....but it's not happening. I'm left to myself, and Self is working very hard in the reverse engineering process. I have had to call in the Angels of Sewing to offer me advise where I was stuck, and I might have had help from an old gray bearded, very calm old smiling twinkling eyed man, expert tailor from some era in ancient times from beyond this world, as I finished my piece yesterday with some encouragement from him *winks*
So last night I finished my first piece which I made from muslin which is another fabric I love. I don't know why people only consider it a base fabric to ''practice'' on, but I love the color, the lightness, that it's cotton and that it's cheap! Perfect for Florida. But it frazzles alot! and I needed to find a way to make neat clean seams without all the frazzle, because I wanted it to be as nice on the inside as the outside. So I looked at a white chemise top I've had for over 20 years that I was using a cutting pattern for the top part because the neck line was similar, and there the seam was so neat, without a serger, and I loved the engenuity of it and that was my answer, I knew I'd do all the seams that I could that way....turns out, as it happens..... again, its called a French Seam. (There is a French theme going on in my life without my help and I find this fascinating!)
I didn't want to ruin any precious linen gauze with an experimental learning process, but now that I know how to do it, at least in my own way lol, I will make another Market Jacket with the gauze and die it pink, using organic materials such a vegetebles which is something else I'm teaching myself, is how to die fabric with natural materials. I believe I'll be using beets for this, for while it is red in color, it dies into a pink. Doesn't pink linen gauze sound delicious? I can't wait until everything I wear against my skin is so naturally soft and organic, I will feel myself like a fruit! :D:D:D
So here is my own piece......
I dyed the lace around the empire waist in black tea.....I adore this color and alot in the future will be Tea Stained!!
I didn't have room for the buttons, I can never get used to the increase in my own size there! and decided to just use ties to tie it closed....very light and airy for hot weather. The skirt is from the store, a beautiful all cotton frilly and full petticoat skirt. I have many skirts :D Notice the peekaboo above the skirt for a little touch of belly skin? so sweet and sexy. :D
I have tried this on several times, and every time, basic as the fabric is, it feels like a luxury. Today my neighbor saw it and fell in love with it, and began a nostalgic expression of why we can't find things like this in the stores, and how she loves the lace and ruffles, etc....so in her too, it inspired some deep intuitive desire for feminine quality in clothing. Tomorrow I'm actually going to Market and I'm wearing this.....I will try to take a picture :D
Thank you for listening and reading. Truly I think I speak mostly to myself. Its like this blog is a journal of mine, for me. A brief one because it is public :D, but still a journal of some sort.
Kind of a love letter I write to me......and anyone else who listens from the heart.....right Pammie?? :D
Here she hangs on my door, ready for me to dress. No, there's nothing wrong with your PC, the walls ARE green, :D "Hellebore" to be exact, by Martha Stewart. I love this spring fresh green in my room.

17 Steps to Weight Loss and Wellness
- Eat lots of fruit, vegetables, nuts and grains.
They're full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, live enzymes, and other phytonutrients that protect against disease.
- Avoid starches and sugars.
Bread, cereal, pasta, rice, desserts, and other starchy or sugary foods wreak havoc with your blood sugar, cause carbohydrate cravings, and are a major factor in America's epidemic of obesity.
- Take Fish Oil or some form of it such as Perilla Oil. (There is 500 mgs in every serving of 'VascuCleanse Plus').
Fatty fish are nature's richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation, nurture your brain, and protect against heart disease. But much of the fish in our oceans are contaminated. Avoiding all other meats would be best
- Cut out your consumption of fried foods and other unhealthy fats.
Deep fried foods are a nutritional landmine, loaded with calories and the most harmful type of fat known to science: trans fatty acids.
- You should avoid all processed and packaged foods.
Most processed foods are stripped of nutrients and loaded with preservatives. Frozen peas and blueberries are one thing; toaster pastries and breaded chicken nuggets are another.
- Do not overeat.
Beware the monster portions served in restaurants and prepackaged foods — in many cases they contain twice as many calories as they did 25 years ago.
- Exercise regularly.
Half an hour of physical activity most days of the week is imperative for health and longevity. Nobody is so busy that they can't carve out 30 minutes for a brisk walk.
- Include strength training in your exercise regimen.
We lose more than six pounds of muscle per decade after our twenties, and the only way to restore it is with weight training. Lean muscle mass not only improves strength and agility, but it also helps with weight control.
- Maintain your ideal weight.
Obesity is on the verge of overtaking smoking as our leading cause of preventable death and disability. Everything we've discussed thus far will help you maintain your ideal weight.
- Drink at least eight glasses of water every day.
In addition to keeping you hydrated, water flushes out toxins, curbs appetite, and actually burns calories.
- Get a good night's sleep.
Inadequate sleep is linked with fatigue, poor concentration and memory, and increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.
- Take a good daily multivitamin and mineral supplement.
Think of it as insurance to fill the holes in your daily diet. And don't settle for a one-a-day brand — they do not contain high enough doses of crucial vitamins and minerals to ensure optimal health. VacuCleanse Plus is one of the most potent I have ever seen. It gives your body the tools to maintain a balanced lifestyle without buying out the vitamin store.
- Look for alternatives to prescription drugs.
Prescription drugs, used exactly as directed, kill a minimum of 106,000 Americans every year. For every drug out there, there are safe, natural, and equally effective alternatives — not that you'll hear about them from your doctor. Take control of your health and seek out alternatives.
- Don't smoke.
Lung cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, erectile dysfunction, wrinkles and premature death: Need more reasons to stop smoking?
- Wash your hands often.
This is a simple but highly effective and often overlooked way to prevent colds, flu, and other infectious diseases.
- Find an outlet to relieve stress.
Your body reacts to stress with the release of hormones that increase heart rate and blood pressure, mobilize blood sugar, tense the muscles, slow down digestion, and put the brain on hyper-alert. Whether you use breathing or relaxation techniques, meditation or yoga, it is imperative that you learn how to turn off this physiological response.
- Challenge yourself mentally.
Use it or lose it also applies to your mental "muscles." One of the best ways to reduce risk of dementia and keep your mind sharp throughout life is to stay mentally active. Play bridge, read and write, do crossword puzzles, learn a foreign language, take up the tango or a musical instrument — do something to stretch your mental muscles.
"Knowledge is useless unless it is intelligently and consistently applied. Too much is at stake for you and your family to neglect these absolute principles of vibrant health."

Currently, the waiver applies to units with less than 100 workers. "Labour reforms are a major priority . I am confident the reforms will be cleared by the assembly," Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Sunday .
The state is also hoping to push through a reform of the Centre's Contract Labour Act 1970 which will require only units with more than 100 workers to register with the government. Currently, units with 20 or more workers are required to do so.
If cleared by the assembly the changes in these Centra laws will still need presidential assent.
Haryana is known for violent labour unrest in the past most famously at the Maruti plant in Manesar. When asked whether trade unions would block reforms, Khattar said, "Labour unrest in Haryana is in the past. Trade unions and industry now have cordial relations. The government has also undertaken many pro-labour policies, including raising the minimum wage."
When asked when the report of the Dhingra Commission which is probing alleged irregularities in the grant of licenses to develop land in Gurgaon, including to Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, Khattar said, "The report is expected in June. We do not expect the commission to ask for an extension."
He said the government would act on the findings of the commission. "We will act on the report once it comes out. That is our duty as a government," he said.
