I was born in England to a military family and moved to the states at the age of one. I grew up in Laurel, MD. I played piano and organ (ya, the kind with the pedals and two keyboards) for eight years. I also played in school band. During this time I knew that I loved music but hadn't really found my muse. I was also a big time listener of music. I remember having the radio on all night with the music just filtering into my head. I also had a little transistor radio and I used to sit under a mimosa tree next to my neighbors house just listening for hours.
I stopped the piano lessons; probably because of my growing lack of interest. I remember finding a guitar in my friend Jerry's house. It belonged to his father who no longer played it. I don't remember how but I ended up having the guitar. I can still remember how magical it seemed. I used to listen to KISS Alive II (still an all time favorite) and playing air guitar for hours with that thing hanging from a rope off of my shoulder. I used to know every solo, every lick, every clap shout and whistle on that album. I wasn't interested in learning how to play the thing. It just looked and felt so cool.

Women's Bikini Brief (2/pack | Melange Grey)
Customer Reviews
Women's Bikini Brief (2/pack | Black)
Very comfortable and love that they are organic cotton. Been looking for years and finally found them.
Fit perfectly and very cute!
I developed an allergy to latex and needed non-allergenic underwear. I tried Cottonique underpants that I found on line. Not only did they help my allergy, but they were more comfortable that any other brand i have worn. Thank you cottonique!!
Women's Bikini Brief (2/pack | Black)
For the first time in months, I am not itching around my panty line. The briefs are soft and comfortable. I encourage you to differentiate between the bikini friend, high cut briefs and low rise briefs. I called to try and find out the side measurement, and no one could tell me. From your website, it looks like the latter two designs are the same.
Recommend their products! I love the fabric!
The most comfy and perfect underwear! Simple but cute in a nice mid-weight cotton. I'm 5"4 and 100 lbs; the size 5 fits a little loose, which is what I wanted.
I have been wearing my new briefs for about two weeks now and I love them! No more allergic issues and it's wonderful knowing everything is organic! The fit is perfect and they are so soft and comfortable. I will be ordering more soon! I wished tho they were made in the USA. 😊

VIO-LENCE guitarist Phil Demmel (formerly of MACHINE HEAD) recently spoke with Australia's Heavy magazine about the group's upcoming tour of the continent. The full conversation an be streamed below. A few excerpts follow (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):
On the resurrection of VIO-LENCE and upcoming Australian tour:
Phil: "This whole thing kind of started slow, right after I quit MACHINE HEAD and did a little bridge thing with SLAYER [filling in for Gary Holt]. Sean [Killian, vocals] reached out about doing a couple of shows, and I was pretty floored, because he wasn't looking too good the last time I saw him. [Editor's note: Killian received a liver transplant in 2018.] We did a couple of little reunion shows. [Former MACHINE HEAD drummer] Dave McClain was stoked for us. He was back in SACRED [REICH], and they're doing some stuff. Basically, the four other guys in the band all work, so to be able to tour, we can't do it, but doing something like an Australian run, which would only be a week and a half, two weeks tops, it's something that we're able to do, so everybody's super excited to do it."
On leaving MACHINE HEAD and rejoining VIO-LENCE:
Phil: "It was a big decision, and I think I've spoken about that quite a bit enough to where people know kind of what happened in that situation. The VIO-LENCE decision was pretty easy. My only concern was Sean, and how he was physically. I think that all the other things could be put into place, but there's no VIO-LENCE without Sean Killian. [It was about] making sure that he was going to be good, and be able to pull it off. I didn't want to go out there and just kind of prop him up and have him just be going through some — not midlife crisis, but some sort of thing that he just wanted to do. I wanted it to be quality, because we've always put on a pretty quality product whenever we got together and jammed."
On the group's first jam sessions upon his return:
Phil: "They were fun. We kept it kind of light. We went out to [drummer] Perry's [Strickland, drums] house and practiced in his living room, because he had his kit set up there. It was fun to play those songs again. Everything was loud, and you couldn't hear Sean all that well. We had the same PA from 1990. [Laughs] It was really, really fun getting back together. We all enjoyed those songs so much and [it] took us back to a point to where it wasn't about anything other than just playing the music. It's good to be back in that place again."
On how it felt to revisit the group's music:
Phil: "It's pretty special. Some of the songs, I wrote in 1986 or 1987... From the playing standpoint, they're pretty hard to play. What I've been doing previously for 16 years wasn't a lot like what these songs are. They're pretty bludgeoning. There's no dynamics. There's no clean parts. It's straight-ahead thrash. They're songs that I've always known — like, I haven't forgot [sic] them. There's MACHINE HEAD songs that I'd forget... I forgot how to play the 'Halo' riff. It's not a hard riff, but it just slipped my [mind] — like, 'How does this fuckin' riff go?' But the VIO-LENCE riffs were always embedded so deep."
On Killian:
Phil: "Sean is by far my favorite lyricist ever. His lyrics are fuckin' smart and clever and funny and brutal, and I can connect so hard with them. Hearing these lyrics again and hearing him sing them again, it brings a smile."
On the prospect of new music:
Phil: "We're just kind of enjoying getting through the shows and playing with each other. We're going to be getting to a part where we're traveling together, so we're still kind of feeling each other out in that sense. New music? Sean's itching to write some new music. I'm not itching as hard. I've got a lot on my plate. VIO-LENCE is definitely a priority, but that's just a step I haven't... It's hard, because you have this comeback, and then you play the songs, and you want to be good. I don't want to put out something that isn't as good as 'Eternal Nightmare' or some of the songs from 'Oppressing [The Masses]'. I want to have something that's quality. I want to be with these guys long enough to know that that can happen, because I don't want to put out something shitty. I don't want to taint the feeling that people would have, because I know the live show's there, but I don't know that the creative part, that aspect of it, is there yet. Until I'm sure of that, I just kind of want to enjoy what we're doing now. [We're] just really trying to be kind of delicate with it. All the fun we're having, I don't want to fuck it up."
VIO-LENCE released three studio albums between 1988 and 1993. The group reunited soon after Demmel left MACHINE HEAD in late 2018.
VIO-LENCE performed its first comeback concert in April at the Oakland Metro in Oakland, California and spent the last few months playing select shows in the U.S.
The band's current touring lineup consists of Demmel, Killian, Strickland, bassist Deen Dell and guitarist Ray Vegas.
Although MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn was part of VIO-LENCE's classic incarnation and played on the band's debut album, "Eternal Nightmare", he wasn't contacted about doing the comeback shows.

Celebrate National Nutrition Month by Adopting These Six Healthy Eating Habits
Intermountain Healthcare Dietitian Mindy Probst, RD, CD, gives us some healthy nutrition tips to start practicing in March
March is National Nutrition Month! Let's celebrate by adopting some new healthy habits. Need some suggestions? Here are six tips for a healthier lifestyle.
1. Eat breakfast every day
Start the day right with a little whole grain, fruits and vegetables, and low fat dairy. People who eat breakfast every day tend to make healthier choices throughout the day and weigh less than those who don't.
2. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber to keep your body running the way it should. Be sure to include a healthy portion at every meal. Replacing extra portions of grain and protein with lower-calorie fruits and vegetables is also a great weight management tool.
3. Make time for meal planning
It is nearly impossible to meet your nutrition goals without a plan. Good intentions alone won't get you very far; you need to have the foods on hand that will help you follow through with your healthy eating goals. Find a meal planning method that works for you, whether that means taking a few minutes every evening to plan meals and snacks for the next day or scheduling a time to make a weekly plan and grocery list.
4. Do something active every day
Setting aside 30 minutes of your day for physical activity will help you maintain good health. Make it fun and get the whole family involved.
5. Make family meal time a priority
Children from families who eat together are less likely to be obese, have behavior problems, and use drugs and alcohol when they get older. Conversation during family dinner can also strengthen relationships. If you aren't in the habit already, get started now by planning at least one family dinner per week.
6. Choose healthy snacks
Aim for 100-200 calories at snack time and include a lean protein and complex carbohydrate for longer lasting satiety and energy. Try a small apple with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, a low-fat cheese stick with 5-7 whole grain crackers, or ½ cup of low fat cottage cheese with fruit.

Powers and Abilities
Chuck Norris' abilities come from satirical factoids that claim him as an all-powerful super-being. The facts are normally absurd hyperbolic claims about Norris' toughness, attitude, virility, sophistication, and masculinity. These facts essentially allow him to do pretty much anything, even the impossible or impractical (i.e. count to infinity, divide by zero, push down planets when he does push ups). Due to these facts, Chuck Norris is often regarded as one of the most powerful fictional characters.

Taoseños have been trusting Metric Motors with their automotive maintenance and repair since 1978, voting the shop Best of Taos every year for nearly two decades. Now that owner Joe Franzetti has turned the business over to General Manager and longtime Metric Motors team member Juan Muñoz, this reliable local favorite remains in good hands with a new owner who is driven to enhance both the automotive talents and the customer service skills of every member of his staff through education.
Muñoz himself has reaped the rewards of his passion for learning. He built on his customer service ethic working in local fine-dining restaurants early in his life, always nurturing a keen interest in discovering new things and learning more about them. He began his career at Metric Motors in 2004 at the ground level, working on tires and oil changes, and his natural impulse to master new skills took it from there. In the automotive world where the way things work is constantly changing with every technological advance, Muñoz had found his place.
"It never gets old," he said.
Before long he was receiving high-level training through various institutes around the country, including Rio Hondo College in Whittier, California. He quickly put his education to work for him here at home, working his way up through the ranks at Metric Motors. He spent five years as master technician, focusing on diagnostics, and became shop foreman. As general manager for the past five years, he rounded out his experience in all areas of the shop, from the front desk talking with walk-in customers to diagnostics to the nuts-and-bolts repair and maintenance work.
Over the years, he has fine-tuned his understanding of the electrical aspect of the industry through special coursework. Recognizing the importance of electrical science in automotive function, he has begun sharing his knowledge of the subject with his team through a weekly in-house class.
"It's like science class," he said. "It starts with the atoms and electrons. How the electrical systems function on modern computer-controlled cars."
As the owner of Metric Motors, Muñoz aims to educate his team beyond the Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification maintained by every staff member. At the individual level, he strives to help each employee develop and sharpen the same skills that have brought him success and fulfillment in the industry. And the most important fundamental concept is customer care.
According to his philosophy, to care for the vehicle is to care for the people in the passengers' seats.
"I always tell my guys – take care of our customers like they're our own family," he said. "If you wouldn't trust your wife and kids in that car, you've got to bring it up to your customer. Safety is key.

Marty is a cat. He's got a smart red tie and a boyfriend Emmett who's a dog. There's the premise of B. David Finch McGuire's often charming comic Marty's Big Day.
In the first strip, Marty starts a new job with a family and their new cat. After spending a day scratching furniture and being a cat, Marty comes home to find Emmett kidnapped by his nemesis Biff.
There's a suitably charming end to what is a lovely little all-ages anthropomorphic title about a couple just trying to live a regular life, or at least as regular as a cat and dog can lead a life.
Stuff like this needs supporting, not to mention McGuire's got a nice touch of giving his animals a real sense of character, something many people forget to do when doing anthropomorphic comics. There's also a lovely light tough, and a real joy on display here, so click this link here and give it the support it deserves.

Tom Colicchio's reuse of the old Craftsteak space has been a work in progress. When it opened, the menu was a la carte. Then Mr. Colicchio made an attempt to go prix-fixe, charging $78 for three courses, only to return to the original a la carte format a couple of weeks ago, shortly before Sam Sifton's three-star review in the Times.
a la carte service is being nudged aside by tasting menus
costing $125. Mr. Colicchio announced on Twitter, "Tasting menu madness at c&s has forced us to take fewer reservations."
4:25 p.m. | Updated Mr. Colicchio just called to give some additional details. Before the review, he said, the restaurant sold 10 to 12 tasting menus a night. Last night, from a total of about 200 customers, around 50 ordered the tasting menu. Just eating the tasting menu takes between two and a half and three hours, he said, not counting time for reading the menu, paying the check, and so on.
As a result, the restaurant is now taking reservations to allow 20 people to be seated in an hour, down from about 25. He said the kitchen was feeling the pressure of turning out the extra plates, but he didn't mind. "Quite frankly I'd rather do fewer covers and higher check average," he said. "It's a good problem to have."

Anderson's semi-final epic deals up a host of unknowns
It's been a busy last week for Kevin Anderson at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south west London.
On Monday he spent three hours and 29 minutes dealing with Gael Monfils, in a thrilling fourth round encounter, which he followed two days later with an absorbing four hour 14-minute victory over the greatest men's champion at Wimbledon, Roger Federer.
And then there was Friday, the long, good, but painful Friday, a six hour 36-minute tennis ultra-marathon against John Isner. For some context, this year's Comrades Marathon winner, Bongmusa Mthembu took just under five and half hours to finish his run from Pietermaritzburg to Durban.
That's a total of 14 hours and 19 minutes that the 32 year old Anderson has spent on court – just last week – and he's still got today's final to come.
Pre-final final moments 😊 #wimbledon pic.twitter.com/gRPgmCiKYG— Kevin Anderson (@KAndersonATP) July 15, 2018
Friday's match left both players beaten up. Anderson had swollen feet and legs that felt like jelly; Isner was nursing a painful heel and had a blister on his left foot.
For all the historic significance of their match – the longest semi-final ever at Wimbledon – neither player was happy to be out there that long and both agreed that Wimbledon, the French Open and the Australian Open needed to adopt the US Open model, and have mens matches conclude with a tie-breaker in the fifth set.
"I'm, like, it gets kind of ridiculous at some point in time when it's late in the fifth set, over 20-All. I can feel the crowd they're pretty antsy for us to get off the court. They've been watching us for over six hours."
As a result, Anderson said there were a number of 'unknowns' that he and his coaching team would need to consider as they try and prepare for today's final, given that he had never played a match that long in his career, nevermind it being one that qualified him for the biggest match of his life, in the sport's most prestigious tournament.
He tried to stick to his post match recovery routine as much as possible on Friday, amazingly doing 10 minutes on a stationary cycle, having a stretch before jumping into an ice bath. "We have to sort of see. Obviously I need a lot of treatment in terms of getting the body back balanced and stuff, but at the same time obviously sleep is important, too. I think we're going to play it by ear, see how I feel, see how my body reacts in the morning," he said.
His record against Novak Djokovic, is not surprisingly, unfavourable. Against the Serbian he can count one win 10 years ago in Miami, but has lost five times although in their last meeting they had an epic five set encounter at Wimbledon, with Djokovic winning from two sets down in 2015.
There were so many emotions after the match yesterday. Reaching the final at @Wimbledon has always been a dream for me. Thank you all for your support, your messages and for being part of my journey. Now it's time to get ready for Sunday 💪 pic.twitter.com/qzZpbfmJln— Kevin Anderson (@KAndersonATP) July 14, 2018
Whatever the outcome on Centre Court today, it's been a hugely successful tournament for Anderson and following on from his runners-up showing at Flushing Meadows last year, points to the greater consistency in his game, which has put him among the elite of the sport.
He's guaranteed just under R20-million in prize-money just for making the final and if he does somehow emerge victorious, that figure will double.
Of course there is greater significance too from a South African sporting context particularly for tennis.
"Growing up in South Africa, we had limited access to available tournaments. Wimbledon was the most iconic event. So to be here in the finals, it's amazing. I've had so much support from home.
"I really hope that it's a source of inspiration for kids, just interest in tennis. South Africa does have a strong tennis history. We struggled over the last sort of decade or so. It's not easy. It takes a lot of time," Anderson said
"But I hope maybe somebody sits here in 10, 15 years' time and says he watched me playing Wimbledon. That would definitely be great for me to hear."
Today's final starts at 3pm (SA time).@shockerhess

What is a check overpayment scam?
If you are selling something over the internet or through the classifieds, you may be targeted by a check overpayment scam. You might receive an offer from a potential buyer (often quite generous) and accept it. The scammer then sends you a check, but the check is for more money than the agreed price. The scammer will invent an excuse for the overpayment. For example, the scammer might tell you that the extra money is meant to cover the fees of an agent or extra shipping costs.
The scammer might just say that it was a mistake they made when they wrote the check. The scammer will then ask you to refund the excess amount—usually through an online banking transfer or a wire transfer (such as Western Union). The scammer is hoping that you will do this before you discover that their check has bounced. You will have lost the money you paid into their account, and if you have already sent the item you were selling, you will lose this as well. At the very least, the scammer will have wasted your time and prevented you from accepting any legitimate offers.
Requests for your account information ('phishing' scams)
Phishing emails are fake emails usually pretending to be from banks or other financial institutions. They make up some reason for you to give your account details and then use these details to steal your money.
'Phishing' refers to emails that trick people into giving out their personal and banking information. These emails seem to come from legitimate businesses, normally banks or other financial institutions. The scammers are generally trying to get information like your bank account numbers, passwords and credit card numbers. This information is then used to steal your money. Phishing messages and emails often look genuine. They seem to come from a financial institution or other company and they use what looks to be genuine internet addresses. They often copy an institution's logo and message format. This is very easy to do. It is common for phishing messages to contain links to a website that is a convincing fake of the real company's home page. The website that the scammer's email links to will have an address (URL) that is similar to but not the same as the real bank or financial institution's site. For example, if the genuine site is at "www.boston.com", the scammer may use an address like "www.boston.com.log107.biz" or "www.phoneybank.com/boston.com.au/login".
You are promised huge rewards if you help someone transfer money out of their country by paying fees or giving them your bank account details. A 'Nigerian' scam is a form of upfront payment or money transfer scam. They are called Nigerian scams because the first wave of them came from Nigeria, but they can come from anywhere in the world. The '4-1-9' part of the name comes from the section of Nigeria's Criminal Code which outlaws the practice. The scammers usually contact you by email or letter and offer you a share in a large sum of money that they want to transfer out of their country. They may tell you about money trapped in central banks during civil wars or coups, often in countries currently in the news. Or they may tell you about massive inheritances that are difficult to access because of government restrictions or taxes in the scammer's country. Scammers ask you to pay money or give them your bank account details to help them transfer the money. You are then asked to pay fees, charges or taxes to help release or transfer the money out of the country through your bank. These 'fees' may even start out as quite small amounts. If paid, the scammer makes up new fees that require payment before you can receive your 'reward'. They will keep making up these excuses until they think they have got all the money they can out of you. You will never be sent the money that was promised.
Scammers pretend to be from your bank or financial institution and tell you that there is a problem with your account. They ask for your account details to protect your money, but then use these details to steal your money. What is a phony fraud alert? A phony fraud alert is similar to a phishing scam. It can come in the form of an email or a phone call claiming to be from your bank or financial institution. The scammer will usually tell you that your credit card or account has been cancelled because it was involved in criminal activity, or because they suspect your card or details have been stolen. This is a trick to get you to give them your account details. You will be told that a suspicious transaction has recently occurred on your account, perhaps a large purchase in a foreign country. You will be told that if you did not authorize the transaction, you need to take immediate action as your credit card details have been stolen.
The scammer will ask you to confirm your credit card or account details so the 'bank' can 'investigate'. If you receive an email, it may ask you to visit a website to confirm your credit card details or to find out more information on the supposed 'fraud' to your account./In some variations of this scam, the scammer may already have your credit card number (that they have stolen previously), and may even quote this to you. They will then ask you to confirm that you are the cardholder by telling them the 3 or 4 digit security number printed on the card. If the scammers have this number, they can use your card to buy things over the internet or phone.
These phony fraud investigations are used to steal your banking details so the scammers can use your account. They work by lowering your guard with the phony fraud alert. They hope that you panic and do what they suggest to fix the 'problem'. They are particularly tricky to spot because real banks and credit unions often do contact people if there has been suspicious activity on their account.
Card skimming is the illegal copying of information from the magnetic strip of a credit or ATM card. This can create a fake or 'cloned' card with your details on it. What is card skimming? 'Card skimming' is the illegal copying of information from the magnetic strip of a credit or ATM card. It is a more direct version of a phishing scam. The scammers try to steal your details so they can access your accounts. Once scammers have skimmed your card, they can create a fake or 'cloned' card with your details on it. The scammer is then able to run up charges on your account. Card skimming is also a way for scammers to steal your identity (your personal details) and use it to commit identity fraud. By stealing your personal details and account numbers the scammer may be able to borrow money or take out loans in your name.
A shop assistant takes your card out of your sight in order to process your transaction.
You are asked to swipe your card through more than one machine. You see a shop assistant swipe the card through a different machine to the one you used.
You notice something suspicious about the card slot on an ATM (e.g. an attached device).
You notice unusual or unauthorized transactions on your account or credit card statement.

Do long term cost benefits outweigh short term construction costs on a LEED project?
Let's take a look at the cost versus benefit. LEED is a design / construction process and internationally recognized certification system that looks at resources and energy efficiency in the design and construction of a project. For a project to achieve LEED certification, the designer and contractor must spend additional time and manpower.
For example, design of the HVAC system takes additional time to verify energy performance. The long term savings provided by the higher efficiency units however, will provide energy savings during the life of the building.
An example of additional cost during construction is the tracking of building products point of origins. For a non-LEED project, the tracking of products being installed in the building within a 500 mile radius is never tracked. But for a LEED project, the construction team (with the help of their vendors and subcontractors) needs to provide proof of all materials origin and the cost of said material. This type of tracking takes time and money to perform and will increase the overall construction cost.
So, do the long term cost benefits outweigh the short term cost on a LEED project? Well that is a question each owner will need to make for themselves.
Need help determining if LEED certification is right for your project? Give us a call at 913.962.5888 or contact us here to get started.

I, Eloïse founder of the website, authentify all the products sold on LOUISE Paris.
I have learned how to appreciate the beauty, quality and perfection of these exquisites luxury products through my work experience in Parisian Maisons de Couture and a real passion for fashion.
I buy all these luxury items from individuals, mostly friends who work in fashion and are lucky to shop in sample sales, thus the relatively low prices.
I select the items for their quality, authenticity, for the cut and originality of their design and for their everlasting caracteristic.
It is very easy to ensure that a product is authentic. Luxury products are expensive mostly because of their quality : the materials they are made of are gorgeous and rare, they are often handcrafted, and the finishing is perfect; the seams are neat and straight, the leather defectless. It's all these details that make these products so specials.
It is a delight to wear quality products. My idea is to enable you to have access to all these marvels so that you can discover and appreciate what is a really beautiful garment, perfectly cut and crafted in divine materials, to buy clothes or a pair of shoes that you will cherish and take care of, to buy less but to buy quality.

This was fascinating project for us, reviewing wayfinding and signage across Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and writing this comprehensive report.
Many people find hospitals difficult to navigate having to contend with a maze of identical corridors within constantly changing buildings, and trying to understand confusing terminology and acronyms.
Whilst good wayfinding is not critical to a hospital's outcomes – few patients die from getting lost or being late for their appointments – it still has a significant effect on patients' experiences. It causes stress, anxiety and frustration and is a recurring topic in complaints.
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals runs five hospitals plus five community facilities – these are mostly large, complex buildings, and can be difficult for patients, visitors and staff to navigate. Much of the wayfinding at STH is effective, being well thought out and competently implemented, but some areas suffer from outdated and inadequate signage, and this presents major challenges to users.
This document offers some background to the principles of wayfinding, as well as giving an overview of the current situation at the Trust's sites. It offers suggestions for future strategy and makes recommendations for action.

The Pro is a satirical one-shot comic about a super-powered prostitute, written by Garth Ennis, pencilled by Amanda Conner, inked by Jimmy Palmiotti, and published by Image Comics in 2002.
The Pro is given her powers by the Viewer, parodying Marvel's the Watcher as a voyeur, and reluctantly joins the League of Honor, a super-team comprising the Saint (a parody of Superman), the Knight and the Squire (Batman and Robin), the Lady (Wonder Woman), the Lime (Green Lantern) and Speedo (the Flash), who fight villains such as the Noun and the Adverb.
A reprint edition was published in 2007, featuring a bonus story called "The Pro Vs. The Ho", in which the Pro squares off with a 12-armed prostitute.

to those teachers who have grown fond of their laptops and interactive whiteboards, the question might seem heresy. But it is a question that needs to be asked, given that a staggering pound;3 billion has been spent on computers in UK state schools over the past eight years.
Is the vast amount of money being spent on technology really improving learning?
The Department for Education and Skills certainly appears to be convinced.
It plans to increase spending this year, and will fork out a further pound;4bn or pound;5bn in secondary schools alone as part of the refurbishment part of Building Schools for the Future programme.
A spokesman for the department described spending on technology as "an amazing success story". "We are the envy of the world in terms of how we have embedded ICT in our school system," he said.
But education researchers have not been able to prove a direct link between the introduction of ICT and an improvement in standards. Studies also suggest that computers are far from "embedded" in the nation's schools.
Research by Becta, the schools technology agency, which was set up by the Government to oversee the use of computers in schools, indicates that eight out of 10 are not reaping the benefits of technology.
"Sporadic" and "disappointing" was how a recent Bristol university study described schools' use of ICT. The report, Interactive Education, says that few teachers make full use of computers in the classroom. Many fear technology will interfere with learning, particularly in the humanities and creative subjects, so they use computers only for administration and routine tasks.
The amount of money spent is impressive, and the UK's computer-to-pupil ratios are amongst the best in the world. But Tom McMullan, a consultant who was director of procurement for C2K, Northern Ireland's version of Curriculum 2000, says that computers are normally used in the UK simply to bolster what schools are already doing.
"ICT has remained at best a coat of paint applied to existing curricular practice," he says.
It is a view shared by Dr Michelle Selinger, who spent many years in the classroom and now works for computer networking giant Cisco, advising on educational technology worldwide.
"There are lots of machines around in schools, but they are not embedded,"
she said. "They are not well used because, fundamentally, the whole structure of schools has not changed."
There have been attempts to prepare staff for change. The New Opportunities Fund scheme, which ran until 2003, aimed to train teachers how to use computers in their subject.
The derision with which the pound;230m scheme is now treated may be unfair given the scale of the challenge: some of the teachers could barely switch on a computer before taking the courses.
The trainers spent a large portion of their budgets delivering basic instruction in programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel, which bolstered teachers' personal computing skills but did not necessarily help them to bring a wider knowledge of computers into the classroom.
The realisation that embedding was not taking place led the DfES to put the process back on the agenda in 2003. It spent pound;8m commissioning software for a programme called Enhancing Subject Teaching Through the Use of ICT.
Unfortunately, this initiative has been largely ignored by schools. This is because it clashes with a host of other computer-related government initiatives, including the drives for personalised learning and discrete IT, national strategies and the emphasis on putting lesson materials on "virtual learning platforms".
Teachers' responses to this deluge of new technology range from simple bemusement and apathy to outright anger.
Sean O'Sullivan, deputy headteacher of the Frank Wise school in Banbury, Oxfordshire, says that schools alone do not deserve to be blamed for misspending the pound;3bn.
"Does it include farcical errors such as NOF training, Curriculum Online (an online catalogue of digital learning resources), deals tying schools into expensive licensing arrangements, and projects such as BBC Jam?" he said. "I suspect it includes virtually all of these and many more. So, rather than allowing schools to shoulder the guilt for not spending the money effectively, we should be haranguing the Government."
Jane Cooke of Saltash community school in Cornwall, who won an ICT in Practice award last year, also has strong views on what has gone wrong.
"There is still a resistance among subject teachers to ICT," she said. "The potential for change is enormous, but most teachers do not know what it is, so ICT gets used in trivial ways. Does a PowerPoint presentation teach a lesson? Of course not, but many teachers are using them.
"There are huge benefits to the use of ICT in education, but there are also times when ICT gets in the way."
Ofsted, the education watchdog, reported last year that there were "wide variations in the quality of pupils' ICT experience" in primary schools.
"Despite pupils' very good attitudes, behaviour and levels of engagement in ICT lessons, high achievement was found only in a minority of schools and higher-attaining pupils in particular were underachieving ," it said.
Similar problems were noted in secondary schools. "None of the schools surveyed embedded ICT to the extent that it was an everyday aspect of pupils' learning," it said.
Dr Selinger, of Cisco, says that pupils are put off ICT lessons by constraints that made the technology dull and unconnected to what they used outside school.
"When we did a survey, the students told us they did not do any internet searching at school because everything was blocked," she says.
But there are those who remain optimistic. Steve Moss, who is responsible for the ICT arm of the Building Schools for the Future programme, says he is confident that the pound;4 billion going into secondary schools will be well-used. "It is much too big a capital sum to be wasted," he says.
Becta will also be crucial. The agency has set a target to increase the proportion of schools using technology effectively from the current 15 per cent to at least 80 per cent by 2011.
Tony Richardson, who moved recently from the National College for School Leadership to become Becta's executive director for e-strategy, admits that there is a "large rump of the ambivalent and later adopters" among schools.
"We can't wait for osmosis to work with them, so there has to be a harder drive to engage hearts and minds," he says. "The reason I am optimistic is that everything is in place.
"During the past five years, the technology has become much more stable and there is much more of it," he said.
"The learners who are coming into schools will demand more technology. This is the moment."
More than 50% of secondary and 43% of primary teachers say that lack of access to classroom computers hinders their use of technology.
Only 9% of secondary ICT co-ordinators say teachers can get their class into computer labs when they want; in primary, the figure is 28%.
The total ICT budget for state schools in the UK rose by pound;50m the past school year to pound;552m. This year it is expected to increase to Pounds 587m.
Primary school computer use increased by more than 6% between 2005 and 2006, to an average of 31.1 computers per school.
Secondary technology declined by 2% in 2005 as numbers of redundant machines were higher than new purchases. In 2006, more than 900,000 computers were available to secondary schools - an increase of 8,000.
The average number of computers ineffective in a school, because of age or specifications, is 8.6 for a typical primary and 42 for a typical secondary.

Weyoun was a high-ranking male Vorta in the Dominion. He has been cloned at least nine times, as of 2376. Weyoun was a key figure of the Dominion War.
Weyoun 2Edit
The second version of Weyoun once had a romantic relationship with one of Kilana's clones. (DS9 - Millennium novel: Inferno)
Weyoun 4Edit
This version of Weyoun lead a team of Jem'Hadar, including Omet'iklan, Toman'torax and Virak'kara, to locate a group of rogue Jem'Hadar who had taken over an Iconian Gateway. Weyoun and the Jem'Hadar were rescued by the USS Defiant after they were attacked. The two crews later worked together and were successful in destroying the gateway, although Weyoun was killed by First Omet'iklan for doubting them. (DS9 episode: "To the Death")
Weyoun 5Edit
The fifth version of Weyoun was assigned to be Gul Skrain Dukat's Vorta advisor after the Cardassian Union joined the Dominion in 2373.
Weyoun first met Dukat in the Kamiat Nebula, the first meeting Dukat had with the Dominion. They discussed the proposed rebuilding of the Cardassian fleet with Dominion assistance, as well as the future of the former Maquis colonies. (DS9 novella: The Badlands, Part IV)
Several months later, Weyoun came with Dukat to Deep Space 9 to persuade Tekeny Ghemor to return home to Cardassia. After Dukat's plan to kill Ghemor with voraxna poison in kanar, Weyoun drank it. His Vorta physiology combated the poison, although he noted it was "quite toxic". (DS9 episode: "Ties of Blood and Water")
Weyoun returned to DS9 several weeks later to open negotiations for Bajor to sign a nonaggression pact with the Dominion. He later detected Elias Geiger's cellular regeneration and entertainment chamber and brought the scientist and his possessions aboard his ship. Jake Sisko and Nog were also brought aboard and Weyoun gave them the Willie Mays baseball card they had been seeking. (DS9 episode: "In the Cards")
Weyoun made another journey to DS9 several months later, this time to warn Sisko and the Federation to not try and stop the Dominion by constructing a minefield around the Bajoran wormhole. This "diplomacy" failed and Weyoun later participated in the attack on the station. (DS9 episode: "Call to Arms"; DS9 novelization: Call to Arms...)
During the Dominion's time in control of Terok Nor, Weyoun persuaded Odo to sit on the Ruling Council with himself and Dukat, in return for allowing the Bajoran Militia more influence in security matters. (DS9 episode: "A Time to Stand")
The fifth Weyoun was killed in a transporter accident in early 2375. It is believed that Legate Damar may have had something to do with the accident. (DS9 episode: "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River")
Weyoun 6Edit
Shortly after the death of Weyoun 5, the sixth incarnation of Weyoun was activated. It soon became apparent that this newest version of Weyoun was not like the previous incarnations - believing that the Dominion War was a terrible mistake. Using the name of one of Odo's contacts, he got a message to Odo, who would later travel to meet him. When the two began to travel back to the Federation, it was revealed that a new clone, Weyoun 7, had been activated. Weyoun 6 killed himself to keep the Jem'Hadar from destroying the runabout that he and Odo were on by activating his suicide implant. His last moments were happy ones as he received a blessing from Odo. (DS9 episode: "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River")
Weyoun 7Edit
Weyoun 7 was activated when it became clear that Weyoun 6 was not behaving as expected and expressing feelings that the war was a terrible mistake. Weyoun 6 fled Cardassia and met with Odo, while Weyoun 7 and Damar worked to keep Weyoun 6 from defecting to the Federation. (DS9 episode: "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River")
Weyoun 7 was killed by Worf. (DS9 episode: "Strange Bedfellows")
Weyoun 8Edit
Weyoun 8 was activated shortly after the death of his predecessor, he continued to oversee Dominion activities in the Dominion War until he was killed by Elim Garak in the final hours of the war. His short life was notable for his suggestion of Dominion mass-murder of the Cardassian civilization, and the execution of orders to do so, up to and including the female Changeling's final order for the genocide of the Cardassians. (DS9 episode & novelization: What You Leave Behind)
Odo removed the transcorder implant from Weyoun's corpse, hoping the ninth Weyoun would be like the sixth incarnation. (DS9 novel: The Dominion: Olympus Descending)
Weyoun 9Edit
Acting on orders from Odo, Weyoun was sent throughout the Dominion to search for Jem'Hadar who were not dependent on Ketracel-white. He personally identified Taran'atar as one such Jem'Hadar. (DS9 novels: The Dominion: Olympus Descending, Warpath)
Weyoun 9 told Elias Vaughn that Jake Sisko and Opaka Sulan were alive and with him in the Gamma Quadrant in 2376. (DS9 novel: Rising Son)
Weyoun remained close to Odo after the Great Link dissolved in 2376 and assisted him in running the Dominion. During this time Odo worked to change Vorta and Jem'Hadar culture for the better, but later focused on individual members of both species, such as Weyoun and Rotan'talag - hoping that both would in turn influence others around them. Due to Odo's influence Weyoun developed considerably as an individual. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Raise the Dawn)
In 2383, Weyoun commanded Jem'Hadar Attack Vessel 971, along with Rotan'talag. In 2386, they were both among the former Dominion denizens who had taken control of that vessel and taken it through the wormhole to settle in the Alpha Quadrant. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Raise the Dawn, DS9 novel: The Long Mirage)
In 2386, Weyoun requested political asylum in the Federation. (DS9 novel: Original Sin)

Alternate realitiesEdit
In an alternate timeline, one of Weyoun's incarnations had ascended to become the kai of Bajor in the year 2400. (DS9 - Millennium novel: The War of the Prophets)

What is "the Gospel"?
The word gospel originates from the meaning of the New Testament Greek word evangelion (or evangellion) meaning "good news". This meaning was transmitted literally into Old English as godspell, eventually becoming gospel. The gospel is summarized by Jesus Christ in the following proclamation:
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news. Mark 1:15
What is the "Good News"?
The good news is the proclamation of the redemption by Jesus.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12
Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." Romans 1:16-17
What must a person "do" to be saved?
...And when the jailer had been roused out of sleep and had seen the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do yourself no harm, for we are all here!" And he called for lights and rushed in and, trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas, and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household." And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house. Acts 16:27-32
The problem with man is we are all rebellious and sinful. King Solomon wrote:
"God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes." Ecclesiastes 7:29
The "what must I do to be saved" involves turning away from sin and accepting Christ which is repentance. All of us have broken Gods laws (sinned) and we must return to God. Jesus said:
"I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." Luke 13:3
Jesus paid the price for your sin and mine!
"In him (meaning Jesus) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins" Ephesians 1:7
"This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." Romans 3:22-24
"...if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved" Romans 10:9
Jesus Christ is waiting for an invitation to come in to your life. In fact, he says:
"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Luke 11:9-10
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in" Revelation 3:20
Is Jesus "the only way" for salvation?
Some will erroneously tell you that all religions are pretty much equal and will lead you to God. The Bible is quite clear that it's all or none.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
So Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. "All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:7-9
[Jesus said] "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."
Matthew 7:13-14
[The Apostle Paul said] "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12
C.S. Lewis wrote in "Mere Christianity":
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher."

What follows are readings for the Fourth Sunday after Trinity — Fifth Sunday after Pentecost — July 14, 2019.
These are for Year C in the three-year Lectionary used in public worship.
There are two choices for the First Reading and Psalm. I have differentiated these by using blue in the headings for the second option.
Emphases below are mine.
First reading — option one
Amos warns Israel's priest Amaziah of God's wrath to come for ignoring his prophecy and dismissing him.
Amos 7:7-17
7:7 This is what he showed me: the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
7:8 And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "See, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass them by;
7:9 the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
7:10 Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to King Jeroboam of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the very center of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.
7:11 For thus Amos has said, 'Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.'"
7:12 And Amaziah said to Amos, "O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, earn your bread there, and prophesy there;
7:13 but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom."
7:14 Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees,
7:15 and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
7:16 "Now therefore hear the word of the LORD. You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac."
7:17 Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Your wife shall become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be parceled out by line; you yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.'"
Psalm — option one
This Psalm is a warning to those in responsibility to act in a godly way by showing mercy to those in need.
Psalm 82
82:1 God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
82:2 "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
82:3 Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
82:4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
82:5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
82:6 I say, "You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;
82:7 nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince."
82:8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you!
First reading — option two
God promises His blessings to those who repent of their sins and return to His guidance.
Deuteronomy 30:9-14
30:9 and the LORD your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all your undertakings, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your soil. For the LORD will again take delight in prospering you, just as he delighted in prospering your ancestors,
30:10 when you obey the LORD your God by observing his commandments and decrees that are written in this book of the law, because you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
30:11 Surely, this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, nor is it too far away.
30:12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?"
30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?"
30:14 No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe.
Psalm — option two
This Psalm has all the necessary elements of a good prayer, including giving all glory to God.
Psalm 25:1-10
25:1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.
25:2 O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
25:3 Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
25:4 Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.
25:5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long.
25:6 Be mindful of your mercy, O LORD, and of your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
25:7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for your goodness' sake, O LORD!
25:8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
25:9 He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
25:10 All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
This is the first part of Paul's letter to the people of Colosse, which Epaphras founded and Paul nurtured as if it were his own. Paul begins with his general benediction, characteristic of all his letters. Note how he includes young Timothy and speaks highly of Epaphras. This is a prayer for the Colossians. The whole of the book is a warning against Judaizers, who wanted to distort Christianity.
Colossians 1:1-14
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
1:2 To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ in Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
1:3 In our prayers for you we always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1:4 for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints,
1:5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. You have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth, the gospel
1:6 that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the day you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God.
1:7 This you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf,
1:8 and he has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
1:9 For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
1:10 so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God.
1:11 May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully
1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light.
1:13 He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,
1:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
This is the enduring parable of the Good Samaritan, with the lesson that we should be merciful to all in need. The severely injured robbery victim was a Jew, yet the priest and the Levite ignored him. By contrast, the Samaritan — a Gentile — showed mercy on the man.
Luke 10:25-37
10:25 Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he said, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
10:26 He said to him, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?"
10:27 He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
10:28 And he said to him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live."
10:29 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
10:30 Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.
10:31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
10:32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
10:33 But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity.
10:34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
10:35 The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, 'Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.'
10:36 Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?"
10:37 He said, "The one who showed him mercy." Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
Oh, the irony of pious, hypocritical clerics ignoring someone in dire need, leaving that to a layman — and someone who was not of their own belief system, either.

There is no need to struggle with lower back pain, achy knees or painful hips and ankles!
My 6-week remedial yoga course is aimed at improving mobility in all the joints of the lower body, as well as build strength in the lower back and core to reduce back pain.
Why do we wait until we get injured before we give our bodies the care and attention they deserve?
Since I tore my hamstring a couple of years ago, I have become intensely aware of the long path of progress and injury recovery. The hamstring injury affected my hip, knee and sacro-iliac area. My balance was effected, and strangely my shoulder on the opposing side started to play up. It totally changed the way in which I approach both my yoga practice and my running. Most importantly, it made me realise that I am not infallible. This one body has to last me a long time yet, and the realisation made me recalibrate how I treat my body and take care of it as it changes, grows, develops (Yes, even at my ripe old age!) and improves.
My injury also made me even more aware of the many broken bodies around me as I practice and teach yoga. I see so many sports people who "work through the pain" of aching ankles, knees and hips as they continue to stretch and challenge their bodies. I notice achy bottoms and stiff lower backs, painful ITB's and achilles tendons, weak arches and toes on feet that translate into knee injuries. Misaligned hips, postural imbalances, quadricep dominance, overly tight hamstrings, weak inner thighs and shins will inhibit performance, and ultimately reflect in lower back pain.
Everything that goes on in the legs, from the feet upwards, can ultimately end in lower back pain. From a pain in the butt or sciatica (Due most frequently to overtight piriformis muscles) to real discomfort in the lumbar and SI area, through to eventually even slipped discs due to constant overuse and repetitive strain. This comes from a myriad of reasons: Muscular imbalances, weakness or over-development in opposing muscle groups, or not taking enough recovery time between injuries or peak activity events.
My 6-week sports yoga rehab course was developed to deal with this specifically.
Whether you use your body for work or for sports, taking time to heal, recover and rebuild strength is crucial to continuing performance. This course will help you to develop new, healthier movement patterns starting with the very basics and slowly rebuilding helthy alignment from the feet up.
I limit the class size to only 10 people, so that each person can get the maximum benefit of dealing with their own individual problem. We will use a wide range of props during a mixture of passive stretching, active and passive yoga postures and somatic movement.
Together, we will also develop your own individual yoga homework practice to help you sustain the benefits.
I will also be running a rotation of 6-weekly remedial yoga programs, followed by a 2-week break at the end of every rotation. These will take place on Friday evenings in the cool studio at Bikram Yoga Fleet. The cost of the full 6-week program, including home practice assignments, is £125-00.
In addition, there will be quarterly 1-day workshops running at The Studio @ Durham House in Farnham. These will be designed to support the 6-week course, but also to give patients who are not on the 6-week course the opportunity to experienced alignment based yoga for pain relief.
The one day course will be presented on the following Saturdays:
- 25th March
- 24th June
- 30th September
- 16th December
Please call me for more information on 07540 306 808, or sign up for either option on the Classes Page

Gui is super unresponsive on Fedora with Oracle Java 10. Are newer versions of java passed 8 not supported? I have some log files as well, I think the reason it hangs up is because a super large amount of exceptions are being thrown.
javax.swing.text.BadLocationException: Invalid insert at java.desktop/javax.swing.text.AbstractDocument.insertString(AbstractDocument.java:706) at axoloti.MainFrame$3.publish(MainFrame.java:205) at java.logging/java.util.logging.Logger.log(Logger.java:979) at java.logging/java.util.logging.Logger.doLog(Logger.java:1006) at java.logging/java.util.logging.Logger.log(Logger.java:1117) at axoloti.MainFrame$3.publish(MainFrame.java:218) at java.logging/java.util.logging.Logger.log(Logger.java:979) at java.logging/java.util.logging.Logger.doLog(Logger.java:1006) at java.logging/java.util.logging.Logger.log(Logger.java:1117) at axoloti.MainFrame$3.publish(MainFrame.java:218)
Gets thrown thousands of times after attempting things such as starting it up, pressing connect, selecting device, making a new patch etc. Also loading in the examples does not do anything at all. Double clicking to open the selector window does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks
This looks like a known issue that has been fixed in the Experimental branch: https://github.com/axoloti/axoloti/tree/experimental
See https://github.com/axoloti/axoloti/pull/429
At the moment there is no binary release for experimental so you'd need to build from source. The other solution is to explicitly force Java 8 when launching the patcher in the latest stable release (from the master branch). On Debian/Ubuntu there is the "alternatives" mechanism that keeps track of multiple Java versions installed on the system. Of the top of my head I'm not sure what the analogous mechanism is on Fedora systems, but I'm sure there is a way to have multiple JVMs installed.
Hm Ok the experimental build didn't help at all. Ill try the java 8 approach later this week. Thanks! I'm not sure the best way to go about multiple java installs but ill look into it.
I ran into the same issue with Ubuntu 18.04.
The result is many exceptions of the following type...
javax.swing.text.BadLocationException: Invalid insert
You can fix it by explicity calling the java 8 binary.
Or: In ubuntu, use "update-java-alternatives"
I don't run any java apps other than the axoloti patcher so I just set it to java 8 and declared victory.

CHICAGO - Following the electoral drubbing they received last week, Democrats are already plotting how to return to majority in the U.S. Senate. Not surprisingly their 2016 strategy includes Illinois U.S. Senator Mark Kirk.
According to Public Policy Polling, Kirk currently enjoys a net approval of 38/28 (+10). However, more than 30% of voters say they have no opinion about him. Given this low profile, Kirk may have trouble in 2016, which is a Presidential election year in a state that voted solidly Democrat in all but the Governor and Comptroller races.
As a result, Democrats see Mark Kirk as part of a path back to Senate control in 2016. According to the Huffington Post:
"Sen. Mark Kirk (R) is perhaps the most vulnerable Republican, running in a blue state in 2016. Much will depend on candidate recruitment in Illinois, however, as a dud could cost Democrats the opportunity. Democrat Lisa Madigan, who as state attorney general has taken on the banks, is widely discussed as a potential candidate, and Reps. Cheri Bustos (D) or Tammy Duckworth (D) have also been floated as possibilities."
Kirk eked out a victory in 2010 - the last Republican wave year - beating Democrat Alexi Giannoulias 48% to 46%. He immediately earned the ire of commercial Republicans with his support of cap-and-trade, high-speed rail, and increased EPA regulations. He's also angered conservative Republicans with his support of gay marriage and his sermonizing on the need for the GOP to become a pro-abortion Party.
Given his health, and the fact that the Illinois Governor will be a Republican in 2015, Kirk may step down and hand-pick his successor, who would then have the advantage of incumbency going into the 2016 race.
Names to watch as a possible Kirk replacement? Perhaps Congressmen Peter Roskam, Adam Kinzinger, or Bob Dold; State Senators Christine Radogno and Jason Barickman; or businesspeople Ken Griffin and Beth Christie.

this time of year it's nice to have an outfit that can seamlessly take you from nine-to-five to after hours. the dress i have on for today's ootd does just that. first off, a simple sheath dress can take you just about anywhere, its versatility can't be beat. but add a few fun details, and its sophistication transforms. the two-tone color scheme of black and grey is perfect for this time of year. check out the lengthwise zipper on the right side. this is just the sort of finishing touch that keeps this classic sheath looking modern and fresh. for a daytime look the zipper is zipped tight. for evening, it's unzipped to reveal a tulle inset. how chic is that? for a work appropriate look i added a black leather blazer, suede boots, and a gray and burgundy scarf for a pop of color. a structured handbag keeps the outfit looking polished. when the clock strikes five o'clock (the official cocktail hour) the blazer slips off, the boots are exchanged for red suede pumps, the scarf turns into a wrap, and i grab a red clutch. add a necklace with a few baubles, and in a matter of minutes i'm transformed into evening elegance. no muss, no fuss. exactly what i like on a hectic work day chock full of appointments.
labels: dress Tahari (similar here and here); blazer Jones New York (similar here and here); scarf JCrew (similar here and here); boots Calvin Klein (similar here and here); shoes Zara (similar here and here); red clutch Mark and Graham; necklace Talbots (similar here and here)

Conservative MP Nick Herbert has said the malfunction claims made by unions on the Southern Rail network are "bogus" and the technology on the network's trains works perfectly.
Herbert told James Whale that drivers on the Southern network are fabricating faults with the camera technology on their trains, with the ultimate intention of bringing down the Government.
The alleged faults are central to the drivers' claims that it is unsafe to remove the guards from trains and move to driver-only operation.
Herbert said: "Every time the complaints have been investigated by engineers the cameras have been found to be working perfectly.
"I think it's all part of a campaign by the drivers and the guards... to disrupt this service. These are hard-left union leaders who want to renationalise the railways and bring down the Government.
"It's got completely and utterly out of hand. it's about time this industrial action was exposed for what it was."

So – if you've been reading the news lately, then you know that Egypt is in the process of burning to the ground right now. Certain leftists on Live Journal would like for me to celebrate this "popular uprising" against Mubarak as an expression of the very "democracy" that we hawks champion, but I'm afraid I can't do that without pointing out the ways this could go horribly, horribly wrong.
Consider what a recent Pew poll discovered about the Muslim majority in Egypt. While that majority favors "democratic government" (59%), they also support:
- Gender segregation in the workplace (54%).
- Stoning as a punishment for adultery (82%).
- Whipping/cutting off hands for theft (77%).
- The death penalty for leaving the Muslim religion (84%).
The ballot box does not a liberal democracy make. This is something that the international left repeatedly fails to grok. Over and over again, said leftists have claimed that duly elected socialists are "democratic" even when those socialists are guilty of numerous human rights abuses (see also: Hugo Chavez). But democracy is not established by the mere act of voting. Voting is just a surface feature of liberal democracy. Liberal democracy is a complex system comprised of the following obligatory elements:
- The rule of law, not men.
- The separation of powers (so that no one person or group has absolute control).
- Checks and balances (so that, again, power is not concentrated in one person or group).
- Respect for the rights of minority populations.
If a government fails to reflect these four key principles, it doesn't matter whether it was "elected." It's still not a democracy.
I honestly want Egyptian small-l liberals to succeed in overthrowing Mubarak and installing a truly democratic goverment. The moralist in me believes we shouldn't tolerate Mubarak's thugocracy for another minute. But if, after ousting Mubarak from power, the Egyptian electorate then proceeds to vote for the full enforcement of sharia, that will not be a victory for democracy. If the Muslim Brotherhood is allowed to participate in a future election and wins, that will not be a victory for democracy. That will be the worst case scenario.
