What a Feeling
By Helen Thompson | Photo: by Charles Davis Smith | April 13, 2017
Like all houses designed by Bodron+Fruit, this art-filled home in Bluffview offers a special experience for all who enter.
For Dallas architect Svend Christian Fruit, great buildings can't just rely on their looks. "They have to feel right too," says the co-principal in the renowned architecture and interior design firm Bodron+Fruit. "They have to feel right when you are walking through, when you are sitting down in a chair, when you are having a conversation with another person." The firm, which also includes business partner and architecture-trained interior designer Mil Bodron, seems to exceed its own high standards with every house it designs. Bodron+Fruit has also carved a niche for itself renovating midcentury houses designed by some of the country's greatest architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Edward Larrabee Barnes, Philip Johnson and Howard Meyer.
As a recently completed residence for downsizing repeat clients quietly testifies, the duo's signature is a virtuosic attention to detail, nuance and restraint. The 3,400-square-foot limestone and glass structure in Dallas' Bluffview neighborhood sits on the far side of a black crushed-granite driveway. It demarcates the separation between the street and the discreet building, which is anchored by a dramatic two-story-tall chimney. The chimney is a statement piece that's positioned midhouse and looks like it might be the missing segment folded up and back from the open-air entry courtyard. The chimney, though, is an architectural exception. "This is a low house," says Fruit. "I wanted to emphasize the horizontality."
Never one to belabor a point, Fruit offers a way for arriving guests to experience the width of the house subtly, via a horizontal entry that extends from one side of the house to the other. Each end looks out onto its own courtyard with a floor-to-ceiling window. "They add scale," he says of the windows, "and make the space seem a lot bigger." A contributing factor: Architect and designer chose to use the same materials on both the exterior and interior walls. "It's important to pull the outside surfaces inside," Fruit says, "to have that relationship between inside and out."
Considerations such as these go further than just paying homage to detail; they venture into the realm of nuance, where the effects of scale, proportion and composition become the "feeling" that the architect so values. Because interior designer Bodron is involved with every residential design the minute it begins, the furniture, finishes and hardware—elements often dismissed as mere accessories in the design of a house—are critical to the architectural composition. "We start with a generic furniture plan from day one," says Fruit. "There is nothing worse than seeing really great architecture and the furniture doesn't fit." The Bluffview house fits together with the refined composure of a couture garment.
"I select everything for the proper balance of the room," says Bodron. For this two-bedroom house, plus study, with an open living area at its heart, that meant choosing a neutral palette that answers to the soft-white tonality of the limestone slabs on the floors and the limestone bricks on the walls. Most of the furniture shapes—such as the living room's two swivel chairs—are rounded or slightly off-kilter. The irregularly six-sided coffee table affords an antidote to the rectilinear lines of the modern house. Bodron's plan for the sofa, which floats midroom, was just as well thought out. "The back is low and disappears," he says about the piece that owes its loungelike heritage to the sectional sofa.
Bodron insists that his interiors should not draw attention. "My work is all about the architecture and the art," he says. The homeowners have worked with Dallas art adviser Michael E. Thomas for years to build an impressive collection, which Bodron prominently displayed throughout the house. Fruit and Bodron allowed for expansive walls for display, situated furniture away from walls to provide the best views of the art and made room in the middle of the back terrace for Richard Long's 12-foot-in-diameter cut-slate inset "Funfair Circle."
Occasionally, though, the designer treats some pieces of furniture as if they are art. The oblong Knoll dining table takes on sculptural clarity in its post in front of Danby statuary marble slabs that define, as well as disguise, the kitchen beyond. In the master bedroom, Arthur Ou's gray-toned "View 10" could be an extension of the bed's gray upholstered headboard; Linda Ridgway's delicately tangled bronze swirl hangs on the bedroom wall just above a John Saladino chair—the curve of its back a perfect counterpoint to the arc of the swirl. Don't think for a second that those matching curves just happened that way. It's no accident that a Bodron+Fruit room feels good to be in. It was all part of the plan from the very beginning.

Let go of jealousy.
There are a few different scenarios of this ugly trait:
- Being jealous with your mate. If for some reason you do not trust your mate to be with his friends or around the opposite sex, then you need to start asking some serious questions: 1. You need to ask yourself if your mate has given you any reason to believe that they are untrustworthy. 2. Are you just a drama queen, (and yes this goes for males too), who makes big something's out of little nothings? If your answer is (1) then you need to confront that issue and try and come to a resolve, or just run for your life because life is far too short to allow someone to steal your happiness. If your answer was (2) then you need to take a moment to reflect on what you could be doing to better yourself mentally, so that you can calm down a bit, and be more sensible. If at the end of the day you're unhappy none the less and you can't bring yourself to change how you feel in the situation... then that is life's cue telling you to hit the road Jack.
- Then there's the jealousy that's harbored between friends, this one right here hits home because I can't tell you how many of these I've gone through. You know which "friend" I'm talking about… the one who say's they are happy for you and are not, the one who gives you advice so that you can never be or get better than them, the one that tells you they got your back when really they only talk behind your back…yeah that one. With these people you need to be precise with you incision and sever all ties with them because in the long run it will run you down.
- Last but not least, the jealousy you may have for a stranger…come on really? This is the most useless type of jealousy because it is based on the figment of your imagination. You somehow convinced yourself that this person has it better than you because of social status, financial status, etc… Now don't get me wrong; yes on some level someone is always better and has it better but to then look at your life and say "I want to keep up with the Jones'" is ridiculous. Guess what... the Jones' don't exist. Everyone has put this imaginary character up on a pedestal for everyone to follow and even if they did exist they wouldn't even be able to keep up with themselves. There is flaw in every single thing on this planet, so if someone is well off financially they may also be a manic depressive, or if someone is dirt poor they may be rich in family and on some level still enjoy their life…ok maybe now I'm reaching a bit cause let's face it no one wants to be dirt poor, but you get what I'm saying. You never know some ones full situation and to compare yourself to them will not only lead you to inaccuracy, but it is not conducive to any sort of happiness, and that is after all what we are in the pursuit of.
All in all dear reader, It's time to cut it out and get with the de-programing of self-hate and build up the self-love. Appreciate what you have and let go of whatever foolish jealousy you harbor in you. Simple right..? I know it's easier said than done, but life is a work in progress and if you refuse to put in the work you get fired so do yourself a favor and stay employed.

PI: Theo Sandfort
National Institute of Mental Health R01; 2008 - 2012
South African men who have sex with men (MSM) are an understudied population in HIV/AIDS epidemiological and social science research. However, evolving evidence indicates that sexual risk behavior among these men is common, and strongly associated with the use of alcohol. Self-report data suggest that HIV prevalence in this population is as high as or higher than the overall high rate of infection among the general South African population. Due to the association of HIV/AIDS with poverty, African MSM in townships seem to be at particular risk for HIV infection. As a result of these gaps in our knowledge, there is a lack of targeted, culturally appropriate, evidence-based interventions addressing HIV risk in this population and the resources for effective prevention are limited.
The aims of the proposed study are (1) to assess the prevalence of HIV among African MSM living in South African townships and identify which behavioral, psychosocial, and network characteristics distinguish infected MSM from non-infected MSM; (2) to identify the structural and psychosocial correlates of sexual risk behavior in these men, with a particular focus on the role of alcohol use; and (3) to describe the social organization of same-sex sexual practices of these men and identify structural and psychosocial factors that affect how these practices are experienced.
To accomplish these aims, the proposed study combines HIV testing, a survey, and ethnography. Using ethnographic observations, ethnographic mapping, in-depth interviewing and of 20 key informants and 80 members from the target population, we will first study the lives of African MSM in four townships that are part of the Tshwane Municipality (the greater metropolitan area that includes Pretoria). Ethnography will elucidate how male same-sex sexuality and risk is structured in terms of practices, identities, networks, and communities, and inform future development or adaptation of prevention strategies. Building on the ethnographic phase, we will survey 500 men residing in Tshwane who engage in same-sex sexual practices with men (either exclusively of or in conjunction with sexual interactions with women) recruited via Respondent-Driven Sampling. The survey will identify structural and psychosocial correlates, particularly the role of the use of alcohol and other substances in sexual risk behavior. HIV testing of survey participants will allow us to identify risk factors of HIV infection, enabling us to target HIV prevention efforts to specific behaviors, subgroups of MSM, or their female partners, and to determine the correspondence between the study participant's presumed and actual serostatus.
In the final phase of the proposed study and based on the study's outcomes, the research team will in collaboration with community partners design an intervention; feasibility and effectiveness of this intervention will be tested in a subsequent study.

Free Assessment
Here at Alcohol Rescue, we understand how important it is to get help for addiction as soon as possible. We also know that many individuals simply cannot see the truth of their situations. They are unable to see themselves as addicts because, in their eyes, they do not fit the profile of what they believe an addict is.
They may have an opinion of what an addict looks like or how an addict behaves, and because they themselves are still functioning well, they are under the impression that there is no problem. Some affected persons will feel that their loved ones are overreacting when these individuals express concerns about their drinking or drug-taking.
Professional Evaluation
If you are worried about your behaviour, or if your loved ones have told you they are concerned about your drinking habits, then we would urge you to call us today for a free assessment. We have a team of professional counsellors and therapists ready to provide you with a free evaluation of your current situation.
This free service will either put your mind at ease or confirm your fears. As soon as you have been given a comprehensive assessment, you will have a better understanding of your situation and will be in a better position in terms of deciding how to move forward regarding treatment options.

The Gift of a Wunderkind...Nature or Nurture?
After being blown away by an incredible video of child piano prodigy Elias Phoenix perform on Ellen, I was intrigued by this social phenomenon of child prodigies. This spunky kid is beyond impressive-- before the age of 7, he had already performed in Carnegie Hall, a huge honor in the classical music world. Between that video and reading a New York Times article titled "How to Raise a Prodigy", I began to question what it takes for a child to be able to attain this status of Wunderkind. Is it a natural aptitude that one is simply born with? Or is it possible to shape your kids into one of these virtuosos?
Elias Phoenix is a 7-year-old piano prodigy and one of Ellen Degeneres's most memorable guests!
Someone who, at an early age, develops one or more skills at a level far beyond the norm for their age is considered to be a child prodigy. One of the most famous prodigies of all time is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who, before the age of 5, was competent in both harpsichord and violin and had composed for the royal courts. This was absolutely unheard of during late 1700s. He eventually composed over 600 works for all instruments and is considered to be one of the most influential composers in history. It is because of him that the Germans created the term "Wunderkind" meaning "wonder child" that is often used as a synonym for prodigy in the media.
Many have argued that these child geniuses can attribute their gifts to their memory capacity. PET scans performed on mathematics prodigies suggest that prodigies think in terms of what is called long-term working memory. In other words, a memory that is capable of holding relevant information to the prodigy's field for extended periods, usually hours. One subject, a child who had never excelled in mathematics, was able to create algorithms and tricks for extremely fast mental math. The PET scans showed he was able to manipulate several areas in his brain in order to complete the problems. Prodigies are able to engage visual and spatial memory and visual mental imagery to break down relevant information.
Sujari Britt has been playing music since she was 2-years-old and has been playing cello since she was 4.
The Working Memory Theory developed by L. Vandervert explains the abilities of prodigies in terms of the collaboration of working and the cognitive functions of the cerebellum. The transition from visual-spatial working memory to other forms of thought like language, art, mathematics, etc. is accelerated by a special emotional disposition and the cognitive functions of the prodigy's cerebellum. In an "emotion-driven" prodigy, the cerebellum accelerates the streamlining processes of working memory in its alterations of visual-spatial content into language learning (in a musician's case, musical notation) and into linguistic, mathematical, and artistic proclivities (Vandervert 2009).
Alma Deutscher, composed her own opera at the age of 7. Next Mozart?
Despite the evidence to support this theory, many believe that children can be "nurtured" into a Wunderkind, arguing that the environment to which you are exposed plays a large role in the early stages of a prodigy's mental development. One example of intensive training that many argue for is the case László Polgár and his determination to turn his children into chess-players, resulting in all three of his daughters growing up to be world-class chess players. Andrew Solomon, Cornell psychiatrist who wrote the New York Times article I referenced earlier, also argues that,"Children who are pushed toward success and succeed have a very different trajectory from that of children who are pushed toward success and fail."
I think everyone can agree that one must have some natural ability, however, so many examples and studies have shown that your upbringing definitely makes a difference. Next time you talk to your parents, you can blame them for squandering all of your innate talents...

Repainted Power of the Force 2 Jabba the Hutt
As I said before, I'm not a fan of the POTF2 Jabba for a variety of reasons. When I won one very cheaply on ebay, I decided to repaint it. I had to dremel out the insides to make it possible for him to face to the side like most Jabbas. I didn't know what the mechanism was that was preventing him from turning to the side, so I basically just had to stab around with the dremel until I figured it out. They made this figure out of very thick and hard plastic, which made things difficult.
It's still not a great figure, but I think it looks quite a bit better than before, at least. I decided to repaint the eyes rather than leave the existing plastic eyes, since they had always kind of given me the creeps.
January 19, 2017 5:29 pm
Great job with this figure!
Like you, I've always hated this version of Jabba, but seeing how much you've managed to improve it inspired me to have a go at it myself.
My, but doesn't he clean up well!
Great site in general, by the way!
Here's a link to my version (in 3D, for those who care about such things):

Kind of had a mellow week this week so the rage meter is definitely on the left side of the scale. Chronic bronchitis tends to keep you mellow when you're focused most of the time on not expectorating your lungs. Yeah, I know... big word. Look it up.
Rant 1 - Facebook
Facebook (fb) put it out on front-street this week that, well, you're just shit-out-of-luck when it comes to the privacy of your posts. If you post it, they can see it. And, if they can see it, they will processes, analyze, revise and sell it.
(And, for the record, I consider "posts" to be wall-posts, messages, private messages, and pretty much anything you add to their system using a keyboard.)
Generally, fb is pretty up-front by telling you that your data is their commodity and it's primary use is for advertising. However, in none of their policies published to they offer, infer, or claim to provide you, the user, with anything resembling privacy regarding your posts.
Most damning was this tidbit (emphasis added):
"With most online services, there's an understanding that when you use those services to share information, you're also sharing information with the company providing the service," said Matt Scutari, manager of privacy and public policy at Facebook.
"For users who are truly concerned with sharing their information with a particular platform, honestly, you might not want to share information with that platform," he said, speaking during a conference on digital privacy in Palo Alto, California, on Friday.
FB's own exec is telling you, straight-up, that if you're concerned about privacy issues on the FB platform, then you shouldn't use Facebook.
If you've been following me on Twitter, and most of you don't, a few minutes back-tracking through previous posts will reveal several tweets regarding FB and the sanctity of your data. In short, and we've all heard this before, if the service you're using is free, then you're the product.
So, FB users, as long as you use the platform, you no longer have any excuse for how your data is treated (disrespectfully) with respect to data. I mean, it's bad enough that they filter what you see from your own circle of intimates, right?
In other words, when you get bitch-slapped and treated like the little, street-walking whore you are, don't come complaining to me. Not when your own pimp is telling you how they're going to sell your hard-working ass out there on the street; you've got no one to blame but yourselves.
Rant 2 - Net Neutrality
Lot's of news this week about Net Neutrality and, to no one's surprise to President Obama's announcement on same, Comcast and AT&T plaid their first-round dick cards in response.
For the record, and greatly distilled, there's an ongoing fight concerning internet regulation, which is collectively referred to as "Net Neutrality". Most of the peeps associate Net-Neutrality with the concept of what the press has dubbed "Internet fast lanes" -- where some services (Netflix) is willing to pay more money to ISP providers (like Comcast) to ensure that their data isn't throttled - e.g.: fast-laned.
For those of you without ComSci backgrounds, there is no such thing as an internet "fast lane". Speeds are all pretty much controlled by the hardware architecture upon which they lay with fiber currently being the "fastest" and WiFi the slowest.
What pricks like Comcast are doing is telling services, like Netflix, that if most of our available bandwidth is going to be used for your data packets, then you are going to pay us extra to keep us from throttling (slowing-down) delivery of your data, requested by our customers, in case our customers request something else, we'll have the bandwidth to deliver it. Which doesn't mean shit if they're willing to NOT throttle the data if the premium is paid.
The real debate which is Net Neutrality is over how the internet is governed and regulated. Should the internet be considered a necessity or a luxury?
Of course Republicans, being the tech-savvy bourgeoisie of our age -- you know, the ones that are baffled by the seemingly magical properties of a point-of-sale scanner? -- have come out against Net-Neutrality because "...regulation is heavy-handed and could kill online investment and innovation".
Oh, really?
Because the U.S. hasn't exactly been spear-heading the drive into Internet innovation, in case you've not noticed. For a "developed" country, we rank damn near the bottom in terms of internet availability, reliability, and connection speeds. And, because we're Americans, we also pay more for the shitty service we get than pretty much any other country.
We don't need to innovate - we need to catch-up to the rest of the world. Then we can worry about innovating.
AT&T's version of the dick card was to announce that they would have to delay the roll-out of a fiber-optic network to 10 US cities. (Never mind that both AT&T and Comcast are absolutely terrified over what Google is doing with broadband fiber!) The FCC called AT&T's bluff and asked them to produce, and explain exactly, what plans would be delayed.
Personally, I think the Government should take control of the internet - charge us accordingly, provide us with the same levels of service and speeds at a cost that, oh say, South Korea, enjoys.
Why not?
The Government already has their data-fingers so far up our data-asses that we can't tweet, email, or post without something appearing in an NSA file, so why the hell not?
Penalize the corporate dicks with a severe loss of revenue and reduce our tax obligations as a result. Use the resulting revenue to fix our infrastructure and re-implement desperately needed social programs.
Or does that make too much sense?
Bonus Rant - Skype
Microsoft announced a platform change for Office-365 - they will replace Lync (a truly heinous piece-of-shit software) with Skype and redub it as Skype for Business.
Because, inter-office communication software should be proprietary, right? Closed-protocols not withstanding, what this means is that you have to use Skype to talk to another Skype user.
And we all know what a great piece of software Skype is, yah? Endless solicitations from off-continent hookers, Skype has become the wasteland breeding-ground of endless spam. And Microsoft, despite countless complaints, refuses to throttle requests from people outside of your network. (Literally, you have zero privacy.)
And Skype itself isn't considered to be that robust of a piece of software. I filed a bug report with Microsoft last year - showing how I could crash Skype on-demand, on my linux platform. That I am aware of, said bug has yet to be fixed.
The Mac and Linux versions of Skype are archaic next to the Window's version.
Typical Microsoft hubris thinking that we're all windows users.
But wait!
There's Skype now, for the browser!
I guess that was Microsoft's reaction to the bazillion Chromebooks out there knocking PCs off their pedestal.
It's like no one at Microsoft has used Google's Hangouts which is, in my opinion, in every single measurable way, better than Skype.

Fender 60th Anniversary Telecaster Guitar Review
May 2, 2011 by G-v Rover · Leave a Comment
In the mid-1940s, Leo Fender invented a distinctive solidbody guitar design intended to address feedback issues by amplifying the guitar strings without effecting the resonance. Leo's vision led to the creation of the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company. By late 1951, the company's first showing two-pickup guitar model, the Fender Telecaster, started rolling off the factory's assembly line. Alongside Fender's three-pickup pickup, the Stratocaster, the Telecaster would eventually become the most commonly used six-string guitar in the world, altering the direction of prominent music in the process.
Sixty years later, the Tele's excellent playability and yielding sound makes it one of the industry's most adaptable solidbody guitars, similarly at home in jazz or rock, alternative or country styles. To celebrate this landmark year, Fender Guitars have constructed a limited-edition 60th Anniversary Telecaster which combines features originated on the '51 Telecaster prototype with several exclusive updates which makes this a Tele to outdo all Telecasters.

Fender Fails: Closet Classic Series Guitars Are Nothing New
February 5, 2011 by Steve · 5 Comments
Every year Fender attempts to recreate their classic Stratocaster or Precision/Jazz bass somehow. Whether they call it "road worn" and relic the guitar for you, or call it "closet classic" and make it with 100 year old wood with a post-CBS appearance, they never stray too far from the original formula that has made their instruments a worldwide phenomenon. Strangely, this is where Fender is beginning to miss the mark in the consumer-based guitar industry. Read more

Fender American Special and Standard Strat Review

It was 55 years ago that Leo Fender and his Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing company brought to the market the groundbreaking Fender Stratocaster, the solid body, three-coil wonder that would help re-shape the course of popular music. Never content to rest on its laurels, Fender has continually looked for ways to improve upon the successful Strat formula. This year's crop includes brand-new American Special Series–a budget-minded line of U.S.-made guitars that sports many of the key features found on the prototype American Standard–not to mention some new variations on the old classic Strat itself.

While the discussions between Microsoft and SaleForce fans continues to heat up, I think the announcement of Microsoft's Azure cloud services is a good sign for customers. Especially, for IT shops and product vendors that are committed to .net technologies this is great news. This also means customers will now have more choices in selecting their Cloud provider. For Microsoft, the success of this offering really hinge on creating and sustaining a profitable business model for Cloud services.
For one, this is a timely move on Microsoft front to capture its share of the growing Cloud services market. With the increasing economic pressures, more and more enterprises are now considering SaaS and Cloud services to enable business agility. Clearly, Azure is a excellent attempt to align Microsoft products to these emerging customer needs (capital vs. operational cost, business agility) and technology trends (connectedness and flexibility).
Second, just like Google and Amazon, Microsoft invested heavily in Windows Live infrastructure for consumer markets. The recent Cloud offering could be a natural extension to these massive infrastructure investments enabling Microsoft to further capitalize on these investments, learnings and expertise.
In addition to the new market opportunities, Azure platform also brings the inherent risk of cannibalizing existing on-premise products to Microsoft. The pull out of SAP SaaS and inhibitions of Oracle to be a SaaS/Cloud provider demonstrates the serious impediments the product companies face to takeup dual role as a Cloud provider (Google, Amazon) and Cloud supplier (Dell, HP). Especially, the competing nature of these two offerings mean winning more business for one product may turn out as losing business for the other. The second risk is monetization part. So far, only few players are able to turn SaaS offering into a profitable business model. With Microsoft Live investments yet to make money, how soon Azure offering will be profitable is anybody's guess at this point.
More importantly, the network effect of eco system on SaaS providers is clearly evident in great success of few SaaS leaders. One example is partnership between Workday and SalesForce.com. I noticed that strategic partnerships of this kind help to increase customer confidence in the overall eco system and attract more customers towards the eco system. I think Microsoft need to do more than standing next to SAP to insert itself into the Cloud ecosystem. It needs to establish strategic partnerships with leaders and strong players in this niche to establish strong base in SaaS/cloud ecosystem.

I layered thick purple ribbon on the base, pop-dotted a wedding dress (cut from Cinderella's dress on the Disney Happily Ever After Cricut cartridge) that I ran through my Cuttlebug with the Birds & Swirls embossing folder and embellished the waistline with teeny tiny pearls. I also added some glam with 4 purple rhinestones on the bottom of the card.
I absolutely LOVE running my envelopes through the Cuttlebug, so I ran the top flap through with the Birds & Swirls folder then lined the envelope with purple paper. Lining envelopes just makes a card set so much more luxurious... and embossing the envelope adds a pretty special touch!
That's all for tonight peeps :)
This weekend I'm gonna try my hand at my very first scrapbooking layouts... so stay tuned!

The 2N1 Microfiber Knobby Wash Mitt offers many advantages over a standard microfiber mitt. Thousands of soft tiny strands sewn into the microfiber knobs come into contact with your vehicle with each swipe to grab dirt more effectively than a flat microfiber cloth. The extra surface area created by the soft stands holds and quickly distributes plenty of car washing soap and water. The distinctive microfiber mesh is great at removing bugs, tar and tree sap from windshields, headlights and even painted surfaces.
Additional Information

Engaging in self help is a smart way to change your life in a positive manner. However, sometimes you are faced with the puzzlement of where to begin. The insights gained through reading this article will be a great asset to your collection of tips and tricks on how to improve your life.
Stress and happiness do not go together. When our mind is stressed, our body suffers. Stress is an obstacle to accomplishing one's goal. Set aside a period of time each day when you can be alone, clear your thoughts, and completely relax. You can increase how good you feel about yourself and how at peace you feel by using this time to relax.
Follow your own principles as strictly as you can. Your individual core beliefs are what support your sense of self. You will be able to feel proud of yourself if you do not make compromises and follow your values. Maintaining your core foundation allows for consistency in life and builds good character.
Don't avoid decision on this road, as they may be an opportunity that you miss. Do not be afraid to make decisions, even if you are not as well-informed as you could be. Use your common sense and knowledge when making important decisions. Even decisions that don't turn out as you would have liked are valuable because you still learn from the experiences they give you. When you make a wrong choice, you are likely to make a better one next time.
If you hope to advance your state of knowledge regarding self improvement, it can help to show a little humility. You need to know that in the grand scheme of things, your problems are very insignificant. Once you have fully accepted this realization, you'll seek to better yourself by learning and understanding as much as you can about the vast world in which you live.
Identify what is standing in between you and success. Sometimes, this can be a difficult job for you to see on your own. However, being able to identify our weaknesses is the first step to addressing them and ultimately changing them. It's easier to move forward if you take care of what is standing in your way.
Find your personal values so you can create your self improvement strategy. Focusing on areas contrary to your values does not make sense. Focus on positive aspects to improve. These aspects should mesh with your values. Doing this will help you make changes throughout your life that can benefit you.
Focus on making your time spent working as productive as possible. Something you can do is to increase the amount of short breaks you take throughout the workday. This may seem counterproductive, but by taking constant breaks, you have time to unwind and recharge so that when you get back to work, you can get more stuff done.
You should stay in great physical condition in order to get the best out of self improvement. You can do this by getting a sufficient amount of sleep, exercising frequently, and maintaining a healthy diet. You will have more energy if you are in shape, and therefore will be more successful in your personal development efforts. While these might seem like simple things to do, sometimes they are the hardest to accomplish.
Give others compliments. Try to replace any negative comments with positive ones, and see if this helps you become more positive as an individual.
Write up a motivational speech for yourself. Write down everything you like about yourself. Carry it with you, and refer to it when necessary. An even more effective solution would be to read the list out and have it recorded on video; playing it back when you are feeling low. This might sound silly but it really helps.
You can try writing yourself a motivational speech. Make a self-empowering post-it note or note card. When things get rough, take the card out, and read over what you have written for inspiration. You could also record a list of your positive traits and watch them on video. How will this help with your personal development?
Emergency Fund
Instead of bragging about achievements, you should ask others about theirs. You will then find out things that others have done to accomplish their goals, and you will get some insight.
To keep from increasing the amount of debt you owe, start putting money into an emergency fund. It is not good to pile up credit card bills when an unexpected emergency pops up. This makes you even less capable of dealing with an emergency in the future. All you will need to do is save a couple of dollars per week. Having an emergency fund will prevent you from having to use credit cards to pay for unexpected expenses, which will save you a great deal in interest over the years.
If you are battling depression, it may be helpful to adjust your diet by increasing your intake of complex carbohydrates. If you are not getting enough carbs, you might have a low serotonin level. Add complex carbohydrates to your diet through increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, brown rice and whole grains.
Instead of bragging about your accomplishments, ask those around you about what they are most proud of and what they've achieved. Placing your focus on others will help you recognize the potential of those around you.
Moving toward your goal and meeting your personal needs demands that you do one specific thing to be successful. You need to make the choice to stay active in life, and not sit on the sidelines. Watching life go by, without participating, cuts you off from the world, and humans were meant to get out there and live life.
It is impossible for you to properly care for the ones you love, unless you take care of yourself first. Whatever point you may be at on your journey, it is important to properly care for yourself.
If you see that you are frequently not reaching the goals and expectations that you have set for yourself, stop and reassess what the problems might be. Look around online and try to find others that have had similar goals and see how they compare. The problem might be that your expectations were set too high, important steps were not taken, or inadequate resources were allocated in working toward your goals.
Talking to a counselor or a religious leader can help you relieve stress. They are trained to deal with issues that you might have, as well as a lot of experience doing so. They can help you get on the right path to enlightenment by analyzing what is going on in your life. When you can talk out your issues with a licensed professional, you will find your life will be much happier.
You can learn how to approach tough situations in your life without losing your cool. If you can remain calm during stressful situations, you will feel confident enough to face anything. Take a moment and focus on your breathing technique.
Try to get more organized. Getting organized is an accomplishment, and continually staying organized boosts your confidence. In addition, you won't stress out anymore from the messes. When everything is in a proper place, life is a bit more calm.
Make a list of your priorities, and plan your life around these elements. Personal development involves focusing on the important things in life while allowing negativity and unimportant matters to drift past.
Take a big step towards your self improvement by cultivating selfless behavior. Having the capability to help others, and personally sacrifice, are major landmarks to building your inner character. Caring for the ill and feeding the hungry can help you become a more empathetic, loving person.
You will be healthier and you will go further than you ever thought possible. When you feel good physically, you feel better mentally and emotionally too. When you radiate health you are feeling strong and mentally alert. You will spend less time on health issues and more time enjoying your life. Make a concerted effort to adopt healthy practices.
Making improvements in your health will put you on the fast track of self improvement. Good health simply makes your whole life go better. Taking care of your health will allow you to avoid illness and save money on unnecessary visits to the doctor. One of your most important self improvement goals should be to start living a healthier life.
Learning to take controlled risks could bring you happiness. A lot of people find themselves stuck in their comfort zone, because they do not dare take risks and fear rejection. Taking risks requires a lot of courage, which will help you become happy in the long run.
Sometimes a little risk could equal great happiness for you. Most people avoid risks because they don't want to fail or feel bad about their capabilities. This means that they become stuck in a rut where they do the same things over and over, and do not find fulfillment. Taking some chances is a key component of happiness. It demonstrates courage and a lust for life.
Always aim to keep self-discipline a priority as you work on bettering yourself. Gain mental control over your physical cravings. For example, you may need to overcome the urge to eat more than you should or to refrain from consuming too much alcohol. You will not develop any life long addictions that will compromise your health in a physical or mental fashion.
Your body affects your mind and your moods. Regular exercise and a healthy, nutritionious diet are two things every person should aim for. Remember that a healthy body can lead to a healthy mind.
If you have a habit of overreacting, you are causing yourself unneeded stress. Try a variety of methods to relieve your stress. Even if mistakes have been made, you have the opportunity to find a fix or manage to live through it. Successful people know that learning from your mistakes, and not simply the fact that you've made mistakes, is the key.
Remembering to listen is as important as speaking your mind. Listening definitely holds true for developing yourself. Remember to also listen to your own words when you are expressing them. If you don't listen to your situation, you will ignore signs that you need to make changes, which impedes self improvement.
Do not expect to accomplish your goals and transform your life without deciding to do so and taking action. Unless you understand and accept the fact that it will require change, personal growth will be almost impossible for you to achieve.
Decide what you value most in life and stick with it. Value your personal best and make that important to your life.
If you are looking to achieve success in your life, start by studying those who have already attained great success. Then, intertwine some of their habits into your own success plan. Pick out the most essential success habits from each person you research, then practice these habits until they embed themselves into your daily routine. You need to give yourself a bit of time to make your new habit a permanent one. So don't give up on it until you have continuously used it for at least 21 days.
It is vital to watch your health when developing yourself to your full potential. To have a healthy lifestyle, you need to do more than just exercise and eat right. You need to have the motivation to continue to do these things. If you feel healthy, then you will always be at the top of your game, which makes it easier to meet your other personal development goals.
You should always strive to be the best in your area. Your passion should always lead you to aspire to greatness. You can't be the best at everything, but you can inspire people in the same field as you. Try your hardest to succeed in different areas of your career, and your self-esteem is going to reap the benefits.
As has been pointed out in this article, self help and making changes in your life will not be achieved without some planning, investigation, hard work and dedication being invested by yourself. If you want to see results though, you must give these self help ideas more than a day to work. Using the preceding tips to the fullest will improve your life starting now.
Watch your progress to become better organized. Setting up a sequence of small steps needed to reach your goal will make its achievement easier. Ten small steps are an easier path than three giant ones. You can monitor your progress through a daily planner, or devote an entire journal specifically to your personal development goals.

Picking the right carpet can mean years of service in your home. Frieze carpets were created to be "trackless" carpets and come in a wide variety of colors and yarns. Frieze carpet has become on of the most popluar carpets since the 90's. Frieze and Berber carpets are responsible for a large part of the carpet sales since thier introduction. While it is considered trackless the magic comes from the difference in the twist of the yarn. The yarn is highly twisted and has two plys of yarn. This combination creates a kinked look or curled look up close and at a distance the high twist yarns are resiliant and bounce back.
Generally you can expect to pay more for "True Frieze" carpet. The higher priced is based on a combination of yarns and higher twist ratio. You will however experience a much longer life with this style of carpet.

7 Things To Do Before You Turn 23
by Kimberly Ang
1 more year to go ^^
1. Get your first full-time forever job. There's a certain sense of satisfaction in earning a salary, buying dishes at HomeSense and owning furniture that isn't from IKEA.
2. Learn how to drink like a human being. Now that you've graduated college, please stop double fisting. Chugging beers and downing shots does not count as a casual drink with your 30-something coworkers.
3. Get a tattoo you'll probably regret with your best friend. It's part of the journey.
4. Fall in love. And I mean that crazy, can't-live-without-eachother kind of love. The kind that shakes you to your core and changes everything you ever thought love would be like. The love that makes you want to plan your dream wedding, pick baby names and choose wallpaper for the home you'll make together.
5. Get your heart broken. And I mean the earth-shattering kind of heartbreak that even a bottle of…

According to Gossip Extra!, Wade has been spending quite a bit of time with Dahveon over the past three years. In addition to his nephew, the athlete has custody of his two sons he had with his high school sweetheart and ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches. While "on break" from Union last year, Wade fathered a child with another woman.
Regarding Dahveon's father, Wade's petition states that the patriarch is "unknown" and is not listed on Dahveon's birth certificate.

We've all walked onto a wine store and witnessed elaborate wine displays, props, informational tags, colored lighting, awards, and testimonials. Inflict of these work?
Usually people blame their razors for getting cuts frequently or acne problems. What they are missing is that the right shaving products and skin care regimen create a huge gap. Particularly some men just will not let go of drugstore cheap shaving foam or soap and water. You might want to figure out what shaving products for your skin type along with practicing good shaving techniques.
There is a small but growing community of western expats who call Ubon home. May refine meet others to socialize with. You can get a flavor of your homeland utilizing stores and shops to own the ingredients your have a need for.
The first thing that to be able to your system is probably Thai food. However Bangkok capabilities a variety of asian cuisine at relatively low prices that count trying. All of the best your meals are of course along the path stalls, but for those that not that adventurous, the Thai food at foods courts inside of the Malls can create the spot. I personally went for japan food at the restaurants.
Mai Tai Bar – Another of what I think is just one of the best bars in Hua Hin is Mai Tai Bar next to the Hilton hotel as is it doesn't perfect starting point go if you do not want something too loud or you've no demand for the typical Hua Hin bar scene (lots of bar girls you get home for that night could be the norm in many different Hua Hin bars, unfortunately). Mai Tai Bar is also filled that carries a lot of locals as well as tourists, which accounts for a nice authentic tastiness. It's an open-air bar, so pleasant both during day time and at night, specifically if you can sit near the outer layer of the bar view people walk by. Drinks prices are inexpensive ($2-$3 per drink on average) and the workers is cheerful. You can also get pretty decent food here. Possitioned on Naretdamri Road next to your Hilton hotel room.
Of course what is often a trip to Bangkok without trying their Thai message I recommend Health Land Spa if you're looking for a clean and end treatment. It is popular among the locals and the tourists therefore it is located at several places in Bangkok. The branch at Sathon area is pretty near the Chong Nonsi BTS station as quite. Very good service with up-to-date facilities. It feels being a hotel beneficial enter largest with incredibly own concierge.
The most compelling reason though to be able to buy you may tanning lotion is simply because can be dangerous. Don't sacrifice your whole body just for the chance to save a few dollars.

I always get excited when I spot new releases from The Balm and mainly have positive experiences with the brand so far, so when I saw they came out with a new portable blush/bronzer trio, I quickly picked it up.
The Balm's Girls Getaway Trio comes in compact and portable packaging made out of cardboard. I've traveled with it and used it repeatedly over the past few months and can confirm that it is sturdy and well made. Inside there is also a small mirror, which I find to be too small to be really useful, but should be fine in a pinch or when travelling. There are three pans inside and the palette contains 9,9 g of product in total. The formula is great and just as I expected from reading/hearing reviews from everyone owning their individual products – silky smooth, nicely pigmented and blendable.
The two blush shades are Balm Springs, which is a muted pink, and Balm Beach which also has some peachiness added to it. They both have a matte finish with a slight hint of satin, so they don't look flat or boring on the skin.
The bronzer Balm Beach is a warm toned medium shade which I have to apply with a light hand, and bonus – it also works great as a blush or for an effortless eye look if you apply it into the crease. This one has a slightly more satin finish on the skin.
They all look very pretty, flattering and are suitable for light-medium skin tones and neutral enough to combine with different looks. I'd have a hard time picking just one favorite out of three shades, but judging from how used the pans in my palette currently look, it would probably end up being the bronzer or the middle blush shade. I bought mine from their flagship store in San Francisco (it's small but really cute), but they're also available on their website or here online and I've actually even spotted it in stores in Slovenia (Muller).

Another New Sport
Apparently 2016 is the year of adventures in dog sports. With Lance being completely done with agility and obedience (minus maybe a few WCRL or CDSP trials where he can jump no height) he is looking for something to do. Very sassy corgi at home! I've still been doing a tiny bit of obedience training on nights he comes to the club with me and I've occasionally done some conditioning work at home. But I do best with structure. And the Corgi certainly needs to do something.
Enter nosework. Ordered my first kit from a nice local company!
I'll be honest, I'm not expecting to fall in love with the sport. The diabetic alert (scent trained) dogs at work are my least favorite to train of the 5 types I work with. Maybe because it's less concrete, less control? But maybe this will be different for me. At least there's a lot more "hunt drive" to the training vs waiting around for the scent to just happen. I'm sure the dogs will love it regardless of my feelings!
Lance's very first session yesterday. Since he already has an amazing trained sticky target to my hand and to a target, this first lesson was just about doing the target to the little tin. And then I added in a 2nd non scented tin to maybe get the tiniest idea across that some sniffing is involved in this.
Vito is going to play along too. Vito has always been a sniffer on walks instead of a runner and he is amazing at finding the tiniest scraps ever of tennis ball remnants. Vito used to have the honor of finding all the lost ball toys in the large yard at work even when under feet of snow!
Vito's first session yesterday was pretty darn similar to Lance. He also has a fabulous sticky target. (Reverse luring is amazing for teaching one!) So today's session focused on both Lance and Vito doing the sticky target to a plastic container. Lance did a pretty good job with only a few paws. Vito thought the game completely changed and was all about whacking it with his paw. Since his session was much more amusing than Lance's, here is Vito from today:
But if you're interested in learning more about nosework, there's a great class at the Fenzi Academy!

Ashutosh tacitly concedes AAP lost Punjab & Goa. But why lash out at opinion polls?Friday, February 10, 2017
"Are opinion polls rigged in India, or are they done by those who have no expertise? It is a very uncomfortable question, but the time has come to ask it. It is a tough question for a person like me who spent two decades dissecting the political climate, especially during elections.Nothing can be more engrossing than discussing which political party has an edge over others and has a brighter chance of forming the government, who is the most popular leader likely to be Chief Minister or Prime Minister, what are the most important issues that can shape the result.There was a time when opinion polls were keenly awaited, the political class observed them keenly, and very few agencies were used to conduct polls. Some did go wrong, like in the mid-80s, when opinion polls predicted the defeat of Devi Lal who in fact returned victorious. Except the occasional criticism, though, nobody questioned their veracity. The same cannot be said today."
Read full article: HERE
The ballot box when opened often holds huge surprises as we winesed recently during the recent US Presidential elections when Donald Trump overcome all odds to chalk up in the end a very facile win over Hillary Clinton. So who knows? Even if it might be a long shot, AAP may still win either Goa or Punjab even if their ground feedback may tell them now that they have very little chance.
But that isn't the main story. It is Ashutosh choosing to launch into a blistering attack on opinion polls who he blamed for marring AAP's chances in both Goa and Punjab.
The BJP in 2004 tried through pre polls to build up an atmosphere of invincibility and an impression of inevitability of their victory and yet bit dust. More recently, in Bihar the Mahagathbandhan was mostly given no chance by opinion polls to win, but nevertheless defeated pollsters to chalk up a landslide win. AAP themselves won Delhi defying pollster predictions. This illustrates that though polling agencies and media might be exactly as Ashutosh described them, they are no way an impediment when a political party or candidate have people on their side. They win or lose despite and inspite of opinion polls. Ashutosh's outburst accordingly appears as one of sour grapes, whining in public, a trait AAP often demonstrates.
There are many things Ashutosh described of Indian polling agencies which I in fact personally is in full agreement. Yet, AAP is perhaps the last political party who should complain of use, misuse and abuse of opinion polls, since they undoubtedly maximally use such polls as electoral propaganda. This is what Goa Herald in an editorial rightly commented:
"But AAP has lost the right to play this card in Goa. It has lost the right to dismiss an unfavourable opinion poll because of the manner in which it has embraced an earlier favourable one. If it wants to be received as a party with any degree of honesty, it should have the courage to treat all opinion polls equally- either go by them or dismiss them. You can't swim with a favourable one and refuse to sink with the unfavourable."
