When taking on cycling either as a hobby or a serious training regime, there are certain things that everyone need to know and follow to make the experience both productive and fun.
Now that you've gotten a bike and would like to use to for more than just transport, it all comes down to the amount of time you're willing to spend and the goals you're looking to accomplish.
How to Begin Biking for Weight Loss
Besides getting your body accustomed to constantly being in motion, cycling can be great fun and isn't bound by the location of a gym – perpetually providing us with real-time progress.
If you decide not to purchase an outdoor bike, but still want to obtain some benefits of cycling, you should check out different websites for the best spin bike for home use! Biking indoors is certainly not the same as outdoors, but it can have many of the same benefits when done correctly!
Make the Necessary Preparations for Your Bicycle Workout
Before setting out on any kind of trip, it is mandatory to double-check everything, especially if going on a ride that will considerably stress your bike. A very common problem among cyclists is the chain falling off because the gears haven't been set correctly.
Luckily, adjusting these is fairly easy and won't take too much time away from the actual ride. Another key factor is to check both your front and rear brakes and make sure they're tight enough.
While riding a bike, especially through an inhabited area, being able to stop is somewhat important.
Create a Training Schedule and Stick to It
Now that that's out of the way, like with any training regime – keeping a schedule is crucial. If you've had a long break from cycling or exercising in general, it may be wise to pace yourself and increase the length and difficulty of rides as you get back into it.
Over-straining yourself on the first day can prevent you from continuing until you recover and may even tank your mood to do it again. Just like in the gym, pace yourself.
You're never going to start out by putting on every weight you can find and hoping for the best. You've got nothing to prove, exercise is a journey, it doesn't matter where we start – the only thing that matters is where we end up.
Start Out Slow
After you've gotten onto the bike, start out slow. Hopefully you've done some stretching beforehand, but giving your muscles time to warm up and get into the motion of things is considered wise.
A slow start will help you maintain proper breathing patterns while slowly warming up your legs and the rest of your body as time goes by. Building on the notion of avoiding rushing yourself in terms of your schedule, the same logic should be applied here.
Slow and steady wins the race, this way you won't pull any muscles and won't get any cramps before you've even started to break a sweat.

Ramp It Up
As our bodies warm up, we get to the stage where we can kick it into high gear. If you're prepared properly the actual gear switch will go without a hitch and you'll start bolting forward.
The idea here is to find a tempo that best suits the rider and maintain it for about ten to twenty minutes. The key thing here is to avoid stopping at all costs which is why an optimal place to do this would be an open patch of road.
This will raise your heart rate and will finally help you feel the burn.
Tune It Down Again
After starting to get tired, remember to tune it down – never just stop. A sudden stop can be quite a shock to your muscles and can lead to problems later.
When compared to a regular workout, this would be the stretching stage after the workout. You're allowing your heart rate to go down at a steady pace while still getting some benefit out of it.
This is essentially the leisurely ride back after the workout program.
Upon arriving, take a few minutes to stretch out and center yourself before going in and hitting the showers.

Check Everything Again
After you've freshened up, go and check on your bike. Go through the same motions as you did before the actual ride and make sure everything is where it should be and properly secured.
If not, do not waste time, repair it on the spot, prolonging it will just make it more difficult down the line.
If able to, avoid buying at local retailers as you can get much better deals on the web via places like Bicycles Online. Shop only when absolutely necessary to avoid falling into the trap of constantly upgrading for no discernible reason.
Rinse and Repeat
Once everything on the list has been checked off, there's nothing left to but to stick to it. A successful ride will boost confidence and get the endorphins running, but that will soon fade if it is not made into a daily thing.
If we want to see results, we'll have to put in the time.
No amount of exercise will help us reach our goals overnight and it is up to us to keep at it and take control of our own path instead of waiting for something to change it for us.
How to Lose Weight with Cycling
People cycle for different reasons. Some do it for fun, some do it to get from one point to another within the shortest time possible while some do it to stay fit and shade off some weight.
Whichever way you look at it, all reasons can easily make one stay fit. To lose weight using a bicycle though, one needs to apply a laser like focus.
Fortunately, with the bike option, you do not have to struggle.
As a matter of fact, you can and you will, enjoy the entire process or if you may, exercise. Here are 10 ways to go about it.
Eat Breakfast Before Riding Your Bicycle
A good breakfast is the best way to kickstart your metabolism.
Think of it as fuel.
Without it, your car won't start. With little fuel, it will start but it won't get far.
That is exactly what happens when you work out without having breakfast. Without breakfast, your body will hold on fast to the fat in your body instead of burning it.
Drink a cup of green tea before exercising, and eat a healthy meal!
That is because starving off your body forces the metabolism structures to save what it may later need.
This always means fat which is the exact same thing you want to get rid of. So by all means, have a healthy breakfast before you can hit the pedals.

Consider Your Attire Before Going for a Ride
This is simple. Do not overdress as you ride.
That way, you will sweat with ease and burn more fat in the process. Your body will also expel more toxins as you sweat.
Drop the jacket.
Drop the legwarmers too.
But as you do this, keep your body hydrated because losing weight by dehydration is unhealthy. Stay warm with compression clothing though if you intend to work in extremely cold winter conditions.
Moderate Your Gluten Intake
The last thing you would want to experience while riding a bicycle is a bloated stomach. This mostly happens because of processed wheat. It can make your feel uncomfortable and hamper your efforts.
The best alternative here is to gluten free energy bar.
Always pack some and have it accompanied by a healthy fresh fruit juice.

Eat More as You Cycle More
Most cyclists skip out on meals as they ride.
There is nothing wrong with this, only that it can make your journey to weight lose longer than you may have expected. Eat as you ride especially if you plan on going for a long ride.
That way, you will keep your hunger in check.
You will also prevent overeating after your riding session mostly because you won't feel the urge to eat much after riding.
Take On Hard Efforts at the End of Your Training
Always ride harder and faster before you finish. This is because post exercise oxygen consumption easily triggers burning more fat.
An easy way of going about this is to take on routes that feature steep areas towards the end of your riding session.
You can measure your heart rate, estimated calories burned and more with a HELO watch, Apple Watch, FitBit, or other fitness tracker.
Examine Your Bike's Condition
Use a good bike all the time. You want to stay healthy.
But over and beyond health, safety stands out as one of the most important factors.
With that in mind, ensure your bike is always in a good condition. The gears should be in place.
The brakes too should work.
Keep in mind that it is easier to work out with the peace of mind that nothing will go wrong as you work out.
Make a Dietary Audit For Yourself
How else will you know if you are making progress?
There are so many applications that can help you with this.
A good alternative is to get a good cycling partner or better yet, join a cycling club. Working out in a group can do wonders as far as motivation is concerned as you will ultimately notice.
Watch Your Habits
Alcohol and weight loss hardly ever go hand in hand.
The same case applies to smoking, stress and of course, overeating. So before you come out with a cycling plan, watch over these habits. Refrain from them or quit the most addictive ones.
It may be hard at first but the good news is, once you keep your mind focused on working out, the other not so good habits will become boring as you progress.
Before long, you will feel younger, stay healthy and feel happier.
Boost Your Carbohydrate Intake
Cycling is by all means a high level endurance exercise.
That calls for at least 60% carbohydrate intake with less than 25% fat.
Note though, that you do not have to make radical changes. Make small adjustments to your diet every day. Patience is key.

Additional Health Benefits of Cycling
For decades, cycling has been one of the most popular sports and pastime activities in the world. It's family-friendly, it can be highly competitive, it's exhilarating, and it boasts a myriad of health benefits to boot.
From improved physical fitness, to recovery, and improved mental health, cycling is a fun and rewarding sport both kids and adults can enjoy.
While you might have taken to the streets and the local park up until now solely for the purpose of getting a good workout in, you will be delighted to find out just how much riding around on your bike can be beneficial to your overall well-being.
Here are a few other additional benefits of cycling!
Cycling Improves Your Cardiovascular Health
Have you ever tried structuring or programming your cycling workout? As in, have you tried measuring your time, increasing your speed, decreasing your rest intervals, and focusing on explosiveness and endurance?
Cycling is one of the best ways to increase your cardiovascular strength and endurance, especially if you set new goals and work hard to reach them.
It's not just about how long you can ride around at moderate speeds, it's also about how fast you can pedal, how well you control your breathing, and how you challenge your skills.
So make sure to add some variety into your training by incorporating speed and incline riding to bring your cardiovascular health to the next level.
Cycling Builds a Toned Physique
Being one of the most powerful cardio workouts, cycling aids in battling fat gain and helps with regulating your daily energy expenditure in order to burn fat and preserve muscle mass.
If you are regularly lifting weights at the gym, working hard on sculpting a muscular physique, then cycling would be the perfect complementary tool to shed those unwanted pounds.
However, if you are an athlete, you have already experienced the monotony of steady-state cardio plenty of times, and you probably shy away from touching any cardio device simply because it doesn't seem as effective as it should be.
In order to maximize fat loss and preserve your sanity in the process, you want to take your bike outside and incorporate interval training into your cardio routine, eliminating steady-state cardio from your life altogether.
Enjoy the Fresh Air
Speaking of taking your trusty steed to the great outdoors, cardio sessions can be far more effective by breathing in the fresh air instead of sweating, huffing, and puffing in a stuffy gym. While weightlifting might require you to be in a controlled environment, cardio workouts give you the freedom to enjoy the sunshine and take your workouts to the next level.
Don't just confine yourself to your immediate surroundings, go on mountain rides, cycle around lakes and up riverbanks – the possibilities are endless.
You will need the appropriate bike depending on your next adventure though, and you can research various types of bicycles online to find the perfect tool for the task.
Effective Stress Relief
You might have felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and positivity during your workouts before, but couldn't quite figure out why cycling makes you feel so good. Simple, cycling is a natural stress remedy, as the intense workout aids the production of dopamine and serotonin, also known as the happy hormones.
These neurotransmitters will be firing up after your workout, so you will be feeling relaxed, happy, and stress-free just in time for another session.
Easy on the Joints and Bones
Finally, cycling is a low-impact sport, meaning that it takes care of your body and it preserves the health of your joints, while stimulating the growth and dexterity of your bones.
You can use cycling as an effective post-workout recovery tool to help you get rid of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and various aches and pains throughout your body that are caused by heavy weightlifting.
Cycling is one of the most popular pastime activities in the world, but it can also be a challenging and even grueling workout that will transform your physique and help you step up your fitness game.
With these health benefits in mind, you will have no problem sculpting a toned and healthy physique with cycling.

Germany boss Low reaches impressive milestone with Confederations Cup victory
Joachim Low has reached an impressive century of wins as Germany coach following his side's Confederations Cup triumph against Cameroon.
Chelsea set to sign Alex Sandro for £60m
Low had Kerem Demirbay and Timo Werner to thank for the historic result with the pair finding the net as the world champions won 3-1 in Sochi.

Demirbay put the Germans ahead and Werner doubled his side's advantage, but Cameroon threatened to mount a comeback when Vincent Aboubakar pulled one back on 78 minutes. However, Werner struck again two minutes later to ensure a comfortable win.
It is the 57-year-old's 100th win in 150 games at the helm of the German team since taking over from Jurgen Klinsmann in 2006.
The win means that Germany, who are chasing their first Confederations Cup trophy, will now face Mexico in the semi-final of the competition after topping Group B.

More wiring woes (Not the Blazer)!
Tuesday nights Andrea bowls league, which means I usually get some Guild Wars time in. So there I am trudging through the Ring of Fire in Hard Mode (geek), when Andrea calls. I just figure she's calling to update me on her awesome bowling results for the night. Turns out she needs a ride home because it's 10PM and her headlights won't come on on the Mustang. SUPER!
So not much we can do in the bowling alley parking lot in the dark, so we just left her car there and picked it up in the morning. By the time I'd gotten home from work yesterday, my awesome wife ALREADY had her dash halfway apart and found the problem. Someone had repaired one of the wires at the light switch at one point with one of those crimp connectors and it had burnt itself to a crisp to the point that the wire just fell out. Ever since I got a soldering iron, I can't stand those crimp connectors.
So Andrea did all the grunt work herself. I just did the soldering and she got it all back together. Had a brief scare when we tested our work and the lights still didn't come on, but found that the power lead had came out of the harness. Snapped that back in and viola! And easy fix. Well at least my part was!
Best of all… Cost to fix: $0.00

On Wednesday 27 June 2018 I called in at Rodley Nature Reserve
As usual you can click on an image to see it in the album on flickr. There are several more photos within the album.
The first hide was looking out onto a pair of Great Crested Grebe. I know they are diving birds but here I think she might have been thinking that they could have built the nest a bit higher before mating.
They did then spend some time building the nest.
It was a joint effort bring the stuff in to build it.
I don't know if this is one of the nest builders but it is with a young Grebe.
As I left the hide a couple walking the other way asked me if I had seen the Avocet on the Duck Marsh – so that was the next hide to visit. Two Avocet in front of a few Black Headed Gulls. This is a first for the reserve.
The long, thin, upward curved beak is evident in this shoy.
One of them has rings on its leg. I think they are – left leg, white on top of green. Right leg, red on top of orange. Hopefully others have better views and have been able to find out where it was ringed.
The upwards curve of the beak means they can sweep it along the surface of the water and catch the aquatic insects.
It looks as though the ringed bird also has one on its right leg. Are all 5 needed to identify it?
And they have little webbed feet.
I walked around the wild flower meadow where there were lots of Meadow Brown butterflies. I approached the gate to the river path by one route just as this Pheasant approached from another.
We were both a bit surprised, but also both curious.
Children were around having a good time pond dipping near the visitor centre and lots of Azure Damselfliy pairs were making sure that there will be lots to dip for later.
Edit 8 July 2018.
I have checked back through my photos of the visit and found some more that I think are worth showing.
Avocet pair
Ringed Avocet
A rather wet looking Little Grebe.
A Comma butterfly sharing thistle flowers with Bees.
The view from the bridge just inside the nature reserve. Beautiful.

Letter from the dorm: study hard – but don't neglect your physical and mental health
By Sonali Gidwani, University of Warwick
It's crunch time! I'm currently in the middle of exam preparation, and let me tell you, the mountains of books, megabytes of PDFs, and writing sores on my hands are all too real.
Would you like to know what else is all too real? You. And your physical health. And your mental health. If there is one thing you take from this column, it's that you have to take care of yourself during this period.
Pretty much everyone around me is stressed. From my fellow second-year buddies busting their brains over our economics assignments, to my third-year friends doing dissertations; no one escapes the pressure. Not even my brother, who is doing 12 exams for his IGCSEs. If it weren't for my parents delivering food to his study hole and dragging him out for a run every once in a while, he wouldn't be studying as well as he is now.
Which brings me to my next point: recent events and health scares have made me realise the importance of physical health. Ever heard the saying; "healthy body, healthy mind?" It's more relevant today than ever before. It's important to make sure your body is getting enough vitamins and protein. Don't ignore your stomach, and if you need that little nibble of chocolate, then allow yourself to have it.
17 things you should say "yes" to
I've also realised that you don't have to be sporty to exercise. Go for a run through the rain, sign up for a gym membership, or simply click on a Blogilates video and stretch along. You might feel a little weird pretending to be a Nike ambassador or a cross-trainer, but your brain will thank you.
Exercise and food will at least have your physical health under control, and will help you think clearly. Hong Kong's recent student suicides are a sad reminder of the immense pressure that we students face. It's important to do well and get good career prospects, but you have nothing without your health. It is the reason you're able to get out of bed in the morning and sit at your desk, so that you can achieve all of your aspirations.
It's also important to talk. Talking is not a sign of weakness. Neither is crying. It's important to open up to your family and friends. Talking doesn't have to be serious; it can be as simple as buying coffee and laughing with your friends for an hour. We need to realise that time not spent studying is not wasted time.
Yes, when it comes to the crunch a majority of your time does need to be spent studying. However, it's equally important to eat well, exercise and take a little time out for yourself. Hang in there, you've got this!

Enduren at the Magoeba Trek
Great weekend for Enduren athletes who attained 3 podium positions this past weekend at the Magoeba Trek.
Mixed: 1st -Melt & Yolandi; 3rd -Heinro & Jenine.
Womens: 2nd -Mari & Heila
Due to a clash on our race calendar we couldn't participate in last year's inaugural Magoeba Trek MTB stage race and by all accounts we missed out. We try to never make the same mistake twice and committed to this year's event last November already making sure we could join in the fun.
We have just returned from a stint racing in Europe so we knew we were slightly fatigued and travel weary but the excitement of lining up at a new event (at least for us) IN South Africa motivated us a lot. Add in some strong competition for the Mixed Category and we were soon in 'race mode'.
An unexpected but very welcome bonus came our way when Nico Bell from Team NAD offered us their surplus accommodation and we could stay comfortably on site making our logistics a lot easier. Seemingly small things like this make a big difference in both our performance and our experience of the event making us very grateful.
The Magoeba Trek is hosted at Cheerio Gardens situated high on a mountain between Tzaneen and Polokwane in the Limpopo Province. It runs over 3 days heading in a different direction each day and with distinctly different courses for each stage. Stage 1 was undulating in the most extreme sense of the word and it felt like we spent the whole day going up and down over short, sharp climbs. Day 2 had a fast start and a long descent down into a valley before we made our way back via an hour long (rocky!) climb and a final drag that seemed interminable. The last stage was a punchy, cross country style route filled with fun singletrack and loads of turns taking our minds off the effort needed to power up the steep hills.
Despite our opposition racing aggressively we stuck to our guns and raced to our strengths. Every day they would start fast and race ahead while we rode a pace we thought was sustainable, clawing our way back into the game every time. There was no GPS navigation and some peculiar placed route markers hade everyone missing a turn at some point, adding a few kilometres to their race. We realized this early on and made a point of following the correct route reasoning that a few seconds lost going slow to check the route is less costly than getting lost.
It was clear that a lot of hard work and effort had gone into the trails but they were by no means manicured adding a sense of adventure and discovery to the race. It also meant you had to be a bit more circumspect with your riding or risk a puncture and/or mechanical. Most teams had a mechanical hiccup along the way and it was all about how you dealt with it that decided your fate.
We fought hard all weekend but it also felt like we really measured our effort well racing every stage to the best of our abilities leaving us delighted to come away with the win. Apart from the racing it was good to catch up with the mountain bike crowd while enjoying the generous hospitality offered by the event. The organizers couldn't do enough to accommodate everyone, the food was top drawer and the coffee, pancake and Boerie-roll vendors sorted out the rest.
We look forward to watching this event grow and enjoy the success it deserves!

2020 New Year for Baxter Mill Archive
Happy New Year! I am excited to bring you a year full of inspiration for all of you creative types out there! My goal for 2020 is to provide you visual exploration of trends, color stories and archival textiles from Baxter Mill Archive. I like to think that Baxter Mill Archive is an "Inspiration Destination" for all industries. BMA is more than a place to house artifacts and textile treasures. It's an immersive sensory experience. Every swatch and hand painted art has a story that yearns to be told. We are eager to share the archives stories and beauty with you. Enter the Vault…and be inspired for your next creative adventure!
ELEMENTS: We are living in a world of being consciously aware of our environmental threats to our planet. Humans depend on the water that covers 70% of the Earth's surface, for comfort and survival. Global warming is producing effects in our water, from availability to even quality. This global "awareness/awakening" inspires designs from the elements and surfaces of planet Earth. Water will be a key element, whether its abstract movements of water; waves, ripples and raindrops, as well as realistic or painterly designs of the ocean. Patterns will one inspired by aquatic sea life and oceanside motifs and landscapes. Color is inspired by the vastness of the ocean, ranging from the soft seafood greens and seaglass aqua to the darkest depth blues.

As previously reported in the Construction Citizen series about the 2040 Scenarios event, the evening included a discussion between the group of industry leaders who attended about their thoughts and reactions following the presentation of the two scenarios. The first scenario presented was "Learning to Live" and was given the color green as a way to identify it from the second scenario, which was "Playing to Win" and which was identified with the color blue. The following is a transcript of the questions which Mike Holland led the discussion with, and the comments those questions generated. This is the second of two posts on this discussion.
In these scenarios, what emerges as a leading concern for our industry?
"Lack of labor. In either scenario, whether we double in size or quadruple in size, we are going to need a lot more construction workers, and it's almost impossible to find them today, much less going into the future."
"In the first scenario, it seemed to me that a lot of the changes in the city came from money from additional taxes. As I look at where things are now in Washington, I think that would be a very divisive issue – how we would get the money for the increase in taxes. I don't know individual businesses where that source of funding is coming from, and that's one of those scenarios that I see a big problem or issue with. Primarily in the first scenario – I didn't hear them talking about taxes in the blue scenario, but it seemed it was more dominant in the green scenario."
"I keep thinking about whether you have the bodies trained and educated, the biggest problem you have – and I don't care what workforce it is, construction, whatever – you can interview 20 people and only one person will pass the drug test, or the alcohol test. And I think some of those social services that we need, it's going to be critical because we need a healthy workforce, one is not reliant on drug, alcohol, and other social services. This would be a concern in both of the scenarios."
"I am a retired school principal, and what I am amazed and awed by is hearing the amount of comments about education. I have been out of awareness recently about what the State Board of Education is doing, so I am kind of giving old facts. What I am hearing is a need to have a skilled, ready population. I've seen the State Board of Education, you know they determine what we do in our schools and what requirements that it takes for our students to graduate, and the pendulum swings from left to right. I remember around 20 years ago when they took out vocational tracks or courses. We couldn't teach business math and that kind of course. Everyone had to take Algebra, Algebra 2, Geometry, Chemistry and these advanced courses, and it was sort of a one track for everybody except then you went into honors. So it seems to me, what I am hearing, is that there is a need to maybe go back, because as somebody said: not everybody's going to be a doctor and need all of those high science and math courses. We do need to teach those, but it sounds like we need to somehow work with the education – the people who make the changes in education and the State Board of Education – we need a liaison there to say 'this is what we really need'."
"I can answer your question. We have an organization within this city with some of the construction industries that we are trying to recruit high school students into the construction industry. We have training programs, we have people that will go out to the schools and try to get the students involved and take these classes and get skills. There's plumbing, electricity, whatever. And we're finding it very hard to get these students to come forward because the education system is promoting the other end of the spectrum. And a lot of these students, we have jobs for them. But as the lady said, if you can't pass the drug test, if you can't pass the background test, then you can't work for the oil industry. That's the bottom line. There are plenty of people in this city that could work, but they can't work in the industry that we are pursuing in this [Playing to Win] scenario. We are in a global industry that is getting modulized, we are outsourcing, we are working with other countries, to get products added. You can say this about the architectural firms: the review of the drawings are now going to another country for reviews. They can come back like that [speaker snaps], and they can do it for a tenth of the price, and that's what we are facing in some of this. But the education portion, actually, for the construction industry is there, and we are trying very hard to get it done. We can't get the education industry to come to us to help us put this together. Education is not meeting the demand of industry."
"I am with SER – Jobs for Progress. We actually offer a three course construction training program. One of the concerns for us is working with ex-offenders after they have completed the training and getting them into the workforce. That's been a hard road to travel for those students – incorporating ex-offenders into the workforce."
What actions should the construction industry take today in an effort to positively affect our future?
"This may sound a little far-fetched, but I think that we need to be reaching out to the middle schools and earlier, even, to make sure that these kids understand that the choices that they start making about their lives, about whether they do drugs or how they live their lives is going to affect their future that soon. We were talking about people not passing the drug test and they could never work for the oil companies because they have a prison record. Some of that gets set much, much earlier than I think we realize."
"It seems like the main difference between the two scenarios is the focus on education and what type of education. And what we really need is education producing skill-ready graduates for not only our industry, but all the other industries that need blue collar workers. That's where we're hurting. A story I heard several years ago: Mechanical Contractors Association were going to visit high schools to recruit students to come in to be HVAC techs. And the resistance they met from a guidance counselor who did not want them speaking to students, because every student who went into their program did not go to college and was a detrimental mark on their track record of the number of college admissions. So they were showing these kids that in 5 or 6 years, they could be making 70 or 80 thousand dollars, and they were not being allowed to come into the school and talk to the kids. So what we need today is what someone else was saying, we need to take immediate action to get with the powers that be in our educational system, and get that re-directed to produce a certain number of graduates that are job-skill ready. Everyone doesn't need to go to college and take a liberal arts curriculum."
"I am with SER – Jobs for Progress. We have a new program at SER and it is called Coaching to Care. It is funded by the Department of Labor, and it is a 2 year program. I find this really interesting: it's not just funded by the Department of Labor, the colleges have collaborated with the Department of Labor to do a 2 year pilot program to bring vocational classes back into training facilities – we being one here in Houston – to train individuals who dropped out of school in the medical field. So maybe the construction industry needs to come up with a scenario like that. However I will say as a trainer and a facilitator for SER Jobs, it's a little bit difficult when we catch them at age 18, 19, 20 when they already have 2 kids, 3 kids, and they're struggling. So if the construction industry does something like that in Houston, then catch them at an earlier age. I am sure you would agree with me on that one."
"I just want to say that as somebody who came relatively late in my personal career to the construction industry, that I don't think that the leaders who are largely represented in this room have done as much as they might do to tell their stories and talk about what kinds of success that they have been able to have from the diverse backgrounds and different educational tracks that they may come from or their families may come from. I went the Ivy League route, and continue to be amazed at the skills, abilities and success of my colleagues in this industry many of whom didn't ever get a college degree. I don't think that story gets told as much as it could and should."
What role can you play, or can your business play, in shaping the future of the construction industry?
"I was just thinking that there is a huge thrust right now in robotics, and a lot of the schools are participating, and they have teams. Couldn't we do something in the constriction industry, the same kind of things, because math and everything else is in construction, it takes that kind of background. Just like robotics has taken over, why couldn't construction take over? Create a desire with some competition."
"One of the things I think we need to do is we need to define what is the construction industry? Let's define what the construction industry is. Is the construction industry the architects and the general contractors? Is it the architects, the general contractors, and the subcontractors? Or does it also include the beneficiaries of our work? I think the owners have been lacking greatly. I think the owners, the users of construction, of our services have been greatly lacking in this process, because we are the ones that they look to to provide the trained workforce. Quality standards keep getting greater and greater. They are looking for more, more, more for less money, less money, less money. And in the environment here in this market, it leads to incredible abuse of labor. We all know here that a great majority of the work in Houston, Texas gets done by labor that no one pays any payroll taxes on, nobody pays any workers' compensation on them, they don't have any benefits of any kind, and yet, who is the ultimate beneficiary of that cheap work? The owners are. But when you continue to invest in that type of business model for your workforce, someday you're not going to have a workforce. I think as we define the construction industry, as people think about this, that it needs to be thought of in a much broader fashion as we address some of these problems going forward, and we have to have the owners buying in, in addition, on how we solve these problems. Because we can't solve them alone, and as long as the owners are willing to hire people that basically don't play by the rules, I don't think these problems will ever get fixed."
"Both of these scenarios are kind of scary for me to listen to. I have an 8 month old, so in 2040 he'll roughly be my age. And I think a lot of what people are saying has to do with education, but if you look at this question here, really, for me, the best thing that I can do – my husband and I work together for my father in a company of 20 people – we can be positive, that's all we can be. I think a lot of people in the construction industry can either be positive about what our future is going to be or they can be negative. Negative is not going to get any of us anywhere, especially if you are a mother of an 8 month old who is probably going to come to the family business at some point, so I think for all of us, whether you want to strive to get our education better, which has my biggest support. I think that our education system needs work, that it's not going to get better if we don't work on it. But definitely, if we can just all stay positive. The construction industry has provided my family a great success, and I am fortunate for what my father has done for me and my family. We wouldn't be that way if my father didn't have a positive outlook. Yes, it has been a struggle for the past few years, but we are looking to the future, that it's going to get better. So I think all of us just need to, whatever it is that we need to strive to work for, we need to just be positive. The construction industry is fantastic, and we're blessed to be in Houston. They're good scenarios to just make you think, but it is scary to watch."
"In the era of Steve Jobs passing a few weeks ago, let's think a little bit about innovation, let's think a little bit outside the box. I think back, it was before my time in 1928, the Empire State Building was built. If you think of the innovation in 1928 that was represented by the Empire State Building: structural design, electricity, elevators, all of those kind of things. I think what's happened in the construction industry since 1928 – we could certainly do a lot better job. Look at the difference in the aviation industry, in the automobile industry, or the computer industry – fundamental changes. We are still doing things roughly the same basic way. Another example: houses wear out, buildings wear out, everything else in this economy wears out and we figure out how to dispose of it, but we're not very good at doing that with old buildings. They populate our streets. Look at a big part of the central business district buildings that have been vacant for 30 to 50 years. We've got to think about the full cycle. And since I've been with the city I've been trying to understand why some things – and I will argue that the regulation of the public sector puts the construction industry... I would like to invite that the leadership in this room sit down with people like us [who work for the city] and collaboratively think about what are we really doing here? How could we better house all of the functions that we all have to live and work within? In other words, yes, labor is part of it, no question. Economics is also part of it. Materials are part of it. But thought and creativity are as well. And let's really try to figure out what the pinch points of our business really are. We need more innovation."
Following this group discussion, the attendees were introduced to our website, ConstructionCitizen.com, and to the Houston Associated General Contractors' initiative Construction Career Collaborative, and encouraged to participate in the future of the industry.

Tales of Exclusivity
Today, Microsoft's consoles are little more than curios in Japan, with market share besieged by competitors. But back in the late 2000s, the company was hoping to strengthen their presence across the Pacific, and actively courted developers like Mistwalker, Feelplus, tri-Crescendo, and the Namco Tales Studio. The latter partnership resulted in 2008's Tales of Vesperia, a title which is widely considered one of the shining efforts within a consistently solid sixteen-entry franchise. Hoping to capitalize on their investment, Namco Bandai released a PlayStation 3 port the following year which expanded on elements of the original release. Sadly, the augmented title never made the journey stateside, disheartening Tales fans in Europe and the Americas.
A decade later, Bandai Namco has released the definitive edition of Tales of Vesperia on Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Undoubtedly, Tales fans have a reason to rejoice. The game's cell-shaded visuals, enjoyable cast, and sweeping plot have all aged gracefully. The action-driven combat remains an enjoyable alternative to the turn-based battles that are almost ubiquitous to the genre. Role-playing enthusiasts will certainly be pleased by Vesperia's charms, while there's enough content to warrant and polish to warrant a double-dip by those who played the original Xbox 360 iteration.
An Unabashed Love of Yuri
One of Vesperia's standout strengths is the game's assemblage of personalities. Yuri Lowell, the game's lead, has little in common with most RPG protagonists. Instead of being the plucky but hopelessly naïve kid, Lowell is older, brimming with confidence, armed with his trusty blade and an ample supply of quips. His expertise with a sword and uninterrupted bravado undoubtedly draw comparison to the legion of samurai played by Toshirô Mifune. The incorporation of free DLC which drapes him in Mitsurugi's armor, solidifies the allusion.
But Yuri is just one example of Vesperia's masterful characterization. The game's other heroes subvert trope and demonstrate some charming interplay during the game's lengthy 50-60 hour campaign (which could exceed 100 hours for those who appreciate exploring elective content). Yuri's best friend and rival is Flynn Scifo, who unlike the lead, continued his training in the Imperial Knights. Whereas some RPGs might dispense trivial banter between the two, Vesperia often delves into the pair's ideological differences.
Gratifying Character Arcs and Optional 'Skits'
Elsewhere, the title exhibits absorbing character arcs. Estelle is a studious noblewoman encountered by Yuri at the beginning of the game. Confined to a castle during most of her upbringing, she theoretical knowledge makes real-world decisions difficult in the game's early hours. But watching her grow and handle situations decisively is a restrained treat. Similarly, Patty Fleur, a character who wasn't in the original Xbox 360 game seems included sole for comic relief, with her childish attitude irritating more serious characters. But as the pirate girl's backstory is unveiled, she becomes sincere and less of a set-up for the sporadic punchline.
In keeping with Tales tradition, the game's inclusion of 'skits' pushes the storytelling to lofty level. These bits of optional exposition are triggered when a prompt appears on-screen. Activating them reveals a bit of dialog which offers backstory, inner thoughts, or just a bit of playful charm that endows cast members with nuance. Overwhelmingly, the show the writing team's knack for relational banter. For those who appreciate the depth of characterization in their role-playing games, skipping any of these will be excruciating, since you won't know what you're missing.
Eerily Relevant Themes and Gripping Battles
Pleasingly, Vesperia's themes of environmentalism, class opposition, xenophobia, and being critical of a power structure remain germane, and might even be more relevant in the years after the game's original release. But satisfyingly the storytelling is rarely preachy. While players might not be able to identify with the foundation for antagonist in the game, the game's allies express a multiplicity of approaches in dealing with adversity, making the experience quite engaging.
Early on, confronting opposition might seem a bit grindy. Here, Vesperia employs the 'Evolved Flex-Range Linear Motion Battle System' which revisits many of the foundations for combat employed by the Tales series. Running into an enemy transitions to an arena-based battlefield, where players can shift control across a team of your four party members. The remaining characters act on artificial intelligence, with players able to select from an array of commands and attitudes to guide squad strategy.
The character that you control can more freely, select targets or fight foes on a shared plane. With physical attacks, magical attacks known as 'artes', and guarding, battles can feel like a fight game. To keep things from growing tedious across the titles prolonged playtime, Vesperia is always adding new wrinkles, with new, mappable Artes to be learned, uninterrupted strikes causing Fatal Strikes, which can instantly kill subordinates or severely damage bosses. However, game's most prominent downside is rooted in these showcase duals. Occasionally, bosses bring elevated difficulty spikes, prodding players to do a bit of grinding to even the odds. While it's not a deal killer, these instances can impair the flow of Vesperia's journey.
Truly Definitive?
This release incorporates all of the additions the Tales Studio added to the PlayStation 3 iteration along with a handful of new improvements. Having played the original Xbox 360 game, I was surprised at how seamlessly Patty was woven into the storyline. Typically, the incorporation of new character is obvious and occasionally it can ruin a balance of personalities. Additional bosses and rewards for players who venture off the game's beaten path reduce the slight sense of linearity that lingered across the game's three chapters. The inclusion of additional voiceover fills in the gaps left by unspoken dialog in the original release. But for those who prefer the English language option should know that Troy Baker didn't record supplemental voice for Yuri. Instead, Bandai Namco opted for an artist who doesn't his best to imitate Baker vocal qualities. But the change is noticeable and might break the sense of immersion for some.
The Definitive Edition's enhancements elevates an already splendid Tales entry to requisite role-playing status. A decade ago, Vesperia offered a satisfying expedition, filled with likable characters, an absorbing plotline, and an enjoyable battle system. Ten years on, the game continues to delight. Now only have the visuals been upscaled, but the game's themes speak to contemporary issues. Whether you're a Tales devotee or franchise newcomer, Vesperia will undoubtedly strengthen your sentiment for the series.

Diverted, I hardly discover Brenda gently slipping down the bed. Out of my type of view, she moves in to her toilet and places on a tie on. Then, she breaks start the toilet door to watch me heading down on Kimberly on her bed. God only understands what's going on in her mischievous mind at the moment. Where'd Brenda go?

A spectacular, contemptuous grin stretches across his face, blistering it with disgust. Starting still another alcohol, he chugs down nearly all of it. Learning the silhouettes while they move in front of the living room windows, he waits, his mind rolling and festering with intoxicated thoughts.
Just as I'm finally needs to forget about you again, here you're texting me. How do you Live Sex Web Cam always know? I shouldn't solution, but obviously I do. I can not claim number for your requirements and however for me personally, you are conscious of this.

I've had a lot of DMs on twitter lately which all relate to happiness. The new year brings a time of change and for a lot of people you fall out of your routine whether it be work, uni or school holidays things are always a bit different around this time of year.
Personally I find Christmas a little hard sometimes because I've always wanted to have a special someone in my life around Christmas time. I am the only person in my family that doesn't have a partner to share Christmas with and while there are moments there where I sometimes wish I had some special to share it with on Christmas day I looked around the table and realised how lucky I am. To my left I had one of my best friends. Looking around the table my aunty and uncle from Australia were there, my cousins and their children were there, My grandparents were there and my parents were there. There was literally 4 generations of my family. That in itself is a pretty magical feeling.
What I am trying to say is sometimes it's not a situation or a change of situation that is going to make you feel happy or accepted sometimes you just need to change your frame of mind. Rather than focusing on what is missing focus on what is there and appreciate that.
These times of transition are always difficult, you will probably find yourself over thinking situations and wondering what is going on in the minds of you friends, family and sometimes even what is going on inside your own mind. The thing you need to remember is it's totally fine to not feel ok. It is understandable that you feel overwhelmed. There will be days you don't know what to do. It's inevitable that some days you will feel lonely. Don't be afraid of showing emotion.
I have just started a new job and while it is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me it is also the most scary. I am super lucky to have an extremely supportive team around me but there are days when I feel overwhelmed and don't really know what to do. The new hours mean that I don't get to see my friends as much and there are some days where I feel lonely. When I am having an "off day" I try and do something positive with my time so at least I feel like I am achieving something. Whether it be going to the gym or working on my blog. Sometimes I just sit where no one can hear me and sing. You don't have to solve poverty or find a cure for cancer, I mean if you can that would be AMAZING but sometimes it's the simple things you need to keep you going. Try and find something that makes you happy. I suggest finding something productive and sometimes it's the most mundane things that make you feel like you're making progress. Clean your room, change your sheets or empty the dishwasher. I know it sounds really lame and really boring but if you have organisation in your life somehow it rubs off on your brain and your thoughts begin to make sense.
Life is a journey you're never going to feel good 100% of the time. Even the people that appear the most put together have off days. They have crazy thoughts and just like you and me they have days where they go home and scream into their pillow. We are all human. We are all just trying to find our way through life. There's no right or wrong way of living it, but together we will find a way.

The past few days or perhaps weeks have been so dragging not only because I am dying of boredom with my idle hours at work, but also because I had been looking forward to the holidays. You know how it goes when you're too excited about something, time will seem to play in on you that the days run so painfully slow.
I've also been resisting the urge to post about our Lenten season getaway; afraid I might just jinx it by posting about it prematurely. Jinxed or not, unexpected things really happen. Our plan to hike Mt. Apo is not happening due to dry spell (big sigh).
My heart sank the moment I heard about the news. I didn't use the stairs daily going up to the office which is located at the 15th floor of the building or took walks instead of riding the jeepney to condition my body for nothing. I admit, I was really disappointed. I was too eager and too excited to conquer and see the grandeur of Mt. Apo once again. I've done it before when I was young, frail, and unprepared (equipment-wise). I can definitely do it again. But what hit the core of this big letdown is that this time, I would have done it with Jan. I want him to experience the same euphoria I felt when I was above the clouds. More so, I would love to experience what's it like to snuggle up with your love out in the wilderness on a very chilly night. Haha (wink)
Well, the force of nature is insuperable. Mountains, no matter how small or easy they are should not be underestimated. All the more, conquering the king. I respect the mountain. So there's nothing we can do but forego this hike. Halfheartedly.
|You probably have guessed what my favorite color is. :) And I know I suck at arranging stuff (to make it look dramatic) and taking pictures. Haha
Well, if you have read our previous getaways, we've been acing these come-what-may adventures, haven't we? Nothing, I repeat, nothing is going to ruin this month. The hell I care if my vacation leave goes unapproved. Even a cancelled getaway can't bring me down. May disappoint me, yes. But won't stop me from going to places I've never been to. Even if that would mean traveling solo. It might just even heighten my thirst for adventure. I think I got a lot of optimism in me that I know something out there will just come up. As with my past adventures and as how the old song goes, que sera sera, whatever will be, will be.
April is going to be full. Full of adventures. Full of fun. And definitely full of rewards. I am looking forward to all of the getaways that will be happening this month. I have so many activities to do and places to go to in line and I'm pretty excited about it.
How about you? What are your plans for summer?

A Note From Caitlin Gunther
The first time I tried "pulpo gallego" was at a food fair in Galicia, the northwest corner of Spain. I watched as a fresh caught octopus was submerged into a boiling vat of water three times (to "shock" the meat so that it's tender), chopped coarsely and served on a wooden tray with finishing touches of olive oil, crunchy salt and paprika. Washed down with a cup of cold white Albariño wine, it was simple, delicious and immediately became one of my favorite Spanish dishes. The members of our feedfeed community are clearly fans of the pulpo too. This month's feed features our favorite pulpo posts, from the classic "pulpo gallego" to some fresh, creative remakes. Buen provecho!

A Quick Word With A Guy Called Gerald
A Guy Called Gerald played in Cambridge over the first May Bank Holiday weekend as part of a Hacienda reunion tour. Yours truly was due to go but was cruelly laid low by a severe bout of gastric flu. I'd also arranged an interview with the man himself but had to pull out for obvious reasons.
Anyway, I phoned what sounded like a sleepy Gerald to apologize and make my excuses. I also asked him if he'd mind answering a few questions by email, to which he agreed. Three months later the answers arrived. I'm not a fan of interview by correspondence as there can obviously be a lack of sponteneity but sometimes it's the only way. Anyway, many thanks to Gerald for answering my mostly predictable questions, and to Megan for setting it up.
A Brief Electronic Chat With A Guy Called Gerald
I've just been reading a book review of Mark E. Smith's autobiography "Renegade: The Life and Tales of Mark E. Smith" and he lays a lot of importance on the necessity to keep developing and not look back production-wise. (Got no direct quotes, sorry).
You're known best for "Voodoo Ray." How far do you agree with what Smith says?
I totally agree with him.
Since starting out you've lived in both New York and Berlin. How have these two cities affected your creativity?
Berlin more so than New York. New York wasn't as adventurous as I thought it was going to be. Berlin is very raw and understated and gives you a chance to interact with other artists on a more humane level than the bling thing and competitiveness of New York. In Berlin I don't feel any danger and I can't be creative if I feel danger.
The last album you put out, "Proto Acid The Berlin Sessions" was aimed squarely at the dancefloor, both in the way it was presented (as a continuous mix) and musically. Is this the way you're generally working now and what can we expect in the future?
That's one direction I'm working. I feel like I'm from an abstract dance background. I feel I'm making music for different areas within dance. Proto Acid was the result of a few sessions I had with this label Laboratory Instinct in Berlin. It was specifically for them. I'm working on a web shop at the moment and you can expect a whole spectrum of rainbows coming out. I am looking forward to finally having one base for all my music - past, present and future. I've been holding back on releasing a lot of music because I didn't feel I could trust the system.
Being a Wallasey native I'm intrigued to know how you're relationship with Rham Records came about. How did you end up signed to them?
They approached me after hearing my demos on Piccadilly Radio in Manchester in 1987.
How did "Trip City" happen and would you consider a similar collaboration in the future?
It happened because we were looking for an interactive club format. Trevor Miller's book was actually written in 4/4 time. Things have moved on since then. No I wouldn't do a book with music there a whole spectrum of mediums to experiment with now.
You've been quoted as saying that the music should be the focus of any live performance and not the artist (something along the lines of people should be dancing, not watching me . . .) Do you think that electronic music ever needs to put on a show?
No. Basically the music initially was designed for the recipient to create their own entertainment. In the old days this was called dancing to the music. Some of the early dance music actually chanted things like "dance, dance, dance, move your body... " these things were actually encouragement to dance. I think current generations have been gradually brainwashed into dependency of visual entertainment and unless they have the visual and the aural they turn off.
What does "keeping it real" mean to you or do you prefer to "keep it unreal"?
Keeping it real to me means just getting on with it really. Not getting involved with the bullshit. I feel like my job is to focus on production and making interesting music.
You get a sizeable mention in Kodwo Eshun's excellent "More Brilliant than the Sun" where he talks about your attitiude to sampling, rhythm and time. He also mentions the "ghost break" and says that your work at the time "Black Secret Technology," "teems with inhumanly detailed percussion, which demands posthuman motor reflexes." What do you think he's getting at here and do you see yourself as carrying on the tradition of Afrofuturism?
Most certainly. I think he's trying to say I'm a twig on a branch of a tree in a jungle of rhythmic diversity which grows out of Africa.
How important an influence was Greg Wilson and what, besides technological advances, has changed in djing and live performance since you started out?
Greg was instrumental in making me realise the possibilities of re-editing already made music when I was around 14. I don't think there's a lot that has changed apart from the technology. It seems that some producers come from a djing background - I think there are very few of us who come from more of a dance background. The dancer is always looking for excitement - something that pushes them physically. Whereas a DJ producer often looks for ease of use - he will often take a pre-set sound over trying to create something unique which seems to create a never ending loop of similar sounding sampled music. Most of the people who are interested in experiencing new sensations within dance often end up drifting into stimulants of other kinds to create the same feeling. Also I find alot of DJs focus on the techniques and the machines rather than the result.
Which artists, past and present, to you share your ideals with?
Any artist who strives to be individual in their sound.
Finally, what was playing in Cambridge like?
Playing in England is always fun. You get a chance to have a laugh.
"In Ya Head featuring Mia" new 12" released on Perlon August 4th.
1995's Black Secret Technology has been remastered and reissued on July 28, 2008.
Look out for a new live mix on Samurai.fm's upcoming Berlin Special.

Anytime Donna comes to visit me – or vice versa – some culinary exploration is on the agenda, no matter how little time we have. Our most recent encounter was only over the course of two busy days, yet we still had to take in a little local flavor. Which, in the case of Portland, could mean just about anything!
Having not gotten my Indian fix in a good long time, we headed to Bollywood Theater, specializing in popular street food fare. I love chicken tandoori and aloo gobi as much as the next person, but I also love meandering off that well-worn path (well-worn for a reason, but still) to try some more esoteric offerings. Our favorite selection by far was the Bhel Puri, a simple potato dish punched up with chutneys, peanuts, cilantro and the texture contrast created by puffed rice.
Naturally I had to try to create a version at home. I used puffed millet rather than rice, substituted cashews for the peanuts, and loved the results. I can pretty much guarantee this will be a hit for any summer potluck you attend with this in hand.
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 large red onion, chopped
2 yukon gold or large red bliss potatoes, diced (about 1/2 inch or smaller)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup tamarind chutney
1 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup roasted cashews, chopped
salt to taste
2 cups puffed millet (or another puffed grain)
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Saute onions until softened and on the edge of starting to brown, then add the diced potatoes. Cook, stirring pretty frequently, for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through. (Yes, you CAN reduce the saute time by parboiling the potatoes first, but what can I say, I like to reduce steps if I can, and I liked the results here.)
Add in garlic and saute for another 4 or 5 minutes, then stir in the chutney, cilantro, lemon juice and cashews, and salt to taste. Let cool a touch before serving, but whatever you do, only stir in the puffed millet (or rice or what-have-you) RIGHT before serving. Maximum texture blend achieved!
See how easy?

A little while ago I shared some ideas to help in your own personal prayer times. One of those was to take a page of the address book and pray through it each day.
A small group leader recently told me that his group had started doing this when they get together also. This idea seemed too good not to share. So here's how it goes. . .
Each week he messages his group with the page they're praying through. He then encourages the group to see if they can have a chat with someone on that page on the Sunday (hence encouraging people to keep meeting new people, and speaking to those they may sometime miss). Then, when they meet the following week they can share briefly (and appropriately) any particular needs or requests, and pray for the people on that page (hence encouraging people to pray for other people, outside they're usual circles). There's 36 pages in our address book, which means everybody in the church gets prayed for roughly once a year. Imagine if all groups did this (28 in our case) – that would mean everybody getting prayed for by someone else roughly once a fortnight! Imagine how cool that would be – to know that every small group in your church was going to pray for you by name at some point during the year. Imagine how that could transform that sense of 'one-anothering' in the church family.
So, if you use an address book, maybe this is something your small group could try for a while, and see how it shapes church life and care for one another.

Be Proactive!
Posted byon
I see hundreds of emails a month with varying stories about how one's beloved handbag got damaged. The stories range in drama, but one thing that is common among all of them: the bag owner failed to protect their new handbag upon purchase.
Now, I understand that you are extremely excited about your new fashion investment and cannot wait to go out and show it off. You rush home, unpack your newest addition, transfer essentials from your 'old' bag to the new bag and run out the door (with a matching pair of shoes or a belt, of course!). Unfortunately, this is when your bag is most at risk for acquiring damage! Time and time again, I hear about bags being damaged within the first 30 DAYS of purchase! When you are spending hundreds (thousands!) of dollars, may I suggest it would be wise to protect your bag BEFORE you eagerly skip out the door!
Being proactive, instead of reactive, is the best advice I can give you. I understand that at the sales counter, the last thing you want is to be sold yet another product or accessory. You're already dropping a paycheque (or more!) on a bag, so adding another $25+ to the bill is not of interest. In any event, that leather must be protected. Wouldn't you agree ? Cheaper than sending her in for a Spa treatment after all!
While Lovin My Bags' team provides a fabulous restoration service for handbags, I stress that nothing compares to protecting your bag upon purchase.
Lovin My Bags takes great pride in their restoration services, but at the end of the day, they are not miracle workers (well, this is debatable ;) ). In all honesty though, they really aren't. They do their best and we all appreciate that!!!
But why risk it, though? Why not prevent the inevitable rain drops, drink spill, denim rub-off, dirty-handed-kid-hug, cheese dip spill, and hand lotion rub-off? You KNOW these things are going to happen, so why wait?
Moral of my story: Be PROACTIVE, not reactive!
