Visions, dreams, and revelations: Demon possession or genuine prophetic fits?
Accompanying these visions and revelations and visits, are physical manifestations akin to epileptic seizures and fits that the recipients later report. The recipient of the revelation undergoes a physical trauma of, for example, flailing around, rapid heart beat, or no heartbeat, sweating, groaning, foaming at the mouth, high fevers, and the like. As I listened to one such physical fit that Muhammad had, founder of Islam, I was struck by its similarity to the incidents of demonic possession recorded in the Bible. I wondered if such fits were manifested by other cult founders during their visions or trances, and I learned that they did. Here are a few examples.
Muhammad - Founder of Islam. Muhammad notes that he was visited by an angel claiming to be Gabriel, who pressed or hugged Muhammad so hard that he couldn't bear it. Three times this pressing hard on Muhammad occurred, though we have no record of any angelic visitation in the Bible where the angel manhandles the person to whom he is charged with bringing a message. Rather, each time, the angel unfailingly comforts or works to quell the fear in the person.
Muhammad was so spooked by the angel and his experience, initially he suspected the visions were from evil spirits. In addition to the previously reported physical manifestations, sometimes Muhammad growled like a camel, and streamed with perspiration even if it was cold. He saw a bright light quite often. The seizures were thorough and convincing. Adherents and critics alike acknowledged Muhammad did suffer from a physical manifestation of some kind. The only question among critics in his day and to this day, was whether Muhammad's fits were genuinely divinely sent or were evidence of a demonic possession.
Joseph Smith, founder of the church of Latter Day Saints, AKA Mormons, also displayed physical symptoms in some kind of fit that coincided with his revelations, also supposedly from Gabriel. In addition to "Gabriel", twenty-three other divinely sent visitors also revealed 'truths' to Joseph, including dead men such as Adam, Abraham, and Joseph's own brother Alvin. These ghostly appearances of dead mortal men violate biblical verses in Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, Leviticus 19:31, Leviticus 20:27, Deuteronomy 18:10-13 and several others.
When these revelations occurred, Joseph Smith was seized with a strange power, he was rendered speechless, and he fell on his back. He had visions of darkness and light, a light similarly described as Muhammad's light.
Ellen G. White- This is the woman who is acknowledged as founding the Seventh Day Adventism cult. The following is from Wikipedia's entry Criticism of Ellen G. White.
"Her physical experiences during the visions revolved around, becoming unconscious, losing control of her arms and legs, shallow breathing and visual phenomena all of which are symptoms of an epileptic fit such as automatic movements of the hands or mouth, altered ability to respond to others, unusual speech, or unusual behaviors all of which were experienced during these visions. Moreover, following each of these seizures, there is some period of recovery in which neurological function is altered. This is called the postictal state. These states were independently witnessed by Ellen G. White's followers."
Padre Pio- is a highly esteemed Catholic visionary of modern times. When he went into vision states, it is reported that perfume emanated from and outward off his body, (Catholics call this 'odors of holiness'), Pio had many bleeding stigmata, high fevers (off the charts high), and, the usually manifested violent seizures.
Did any OT or NT prophet go into fits when they received an angelic visitation or divine revelation from Jesus or God? Did they flail about, become incoherent and insensible? Abraham fell down and entered a deep sleep after feeling a dread. The same with Daniel. That's it.
Daniel manifested some physical symptoms, as described in Daniel 10. He lost his strength, and he fell face forward (not backward as the false prophets above did.) He was left afterward with no strength, and remarked he had barely any breath in him, either. (Daniel 10:17). The angel gave him strength. (Daniel 10:19). Daniel did tremble, but it was not in a seizure or fit, his trembling was in fear and anguish at the vision's contents. When he was commanded to stand up, Daniel did. (Daniel 10:10-11).
Jacob dreamed of the ladder to heaven and then awoke and worshiped. (Genesis 28:10-17). Samuel heard God speak to him and listened. When morning came, Samuel opened the doors to the temple and went about his duties. There were no physical manifestations or seizure-like fits, no lengthy comas, just obedient listening, fully conscious with subsequent worship or attending to the task he was given. (1 Samuel 3:10-15). No seizure.
Balaam went into a trance, (Numbers 24:4) falling forward with his eyes open. No seizure.
Zacharias in the New Testament was visited by an angel, and Zacharias was afraid, but was comforted. He listened to the angel's message about the upcoming birth of his son John the Baptist, and was conscious and sensible enough to ask his question. The angel rendered Zacharias mute for his impertinence. Zechariah finished his term of priestly duties as a mute and went to his home. Luke 1:5-23. No seizure.
Peter received a vision about the clean foods on the sheet, and no untoward flailing occurred along with the revelation. Same with Paul - no severe physical manifestations accompanied his several visions.
Now comparing the false visionaries such as Muhammad, Smith, and White, we see that the incidences of demon possession in the Bible more closely mirror their experiences than do the experiences of the Bible's true prophets.
"Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid." (Mark 9:17-18).
These are exactly the symptoms Muhammad exhibited, indeed, Muhammad himself often wondered that his fits were due to demonic spirits.
In Mark 5:3-5 we have the story of the demon possessed Gadarene, who exhibited superhuman strength, yelling, cutting himself, and craziness. We know he was out of his mind with lunacy because after Jesus sent the demons out, we read that the man returned to his right mind. (Mark 5:15).
Matthew 17:15 records that a father begged Jesus to heal his son, who was a lunatic and insensibly threw himself into the fire and the water constantly. Jesus sent the demon out of the boy. (Matthew 17:18).
It's clear to see the difference between the false prophets' visions and dreams, and the true prophets' experiences. The Biblical prophets were sensible, conversed with the angel or with God in their right mind, did not flail about in fits like a lunatic, and were able to rise up afterward and either go about their duties or to worship, with the lone exception of Daniel who was mightily depleted at times from what he had seen. But we can't blame him, Daniel was given horrific visions to see and record.
Today, we see false prophets of the Charismatic movement falling to the floor, writhing, foaming, screaming, laughing uncontrollably, exactly like those who were recorded as having demons in their body. John MacArthur sums this up:
I was watching the other day some behavior among Hindus who are a part of what's called the Kundalini cult, the Kundalini cult. They have certain body movements that appear to be perhaps best explained by demon possession. And they're the absolutely identical body movements to people in the charismatic movement in the extreme behaviors that we see in so-called revivals. This is paganism. This is the work of Satan. This is the work of the kingdom of darkness, and it is not to be attributed to the Holy Spirit. SourceJustin Peters has said, "It is not enough to believe in Jesus. You have to believe in the right Jesus." (Source, video Devilish Puppet Master of the Word of Faith movement.)
Muhammad's Islam, Joseph Smith's Mormonism, Ellen G. White's 7th Day Adventism, Padre Pio's Catholicism, and all other cults that begin with a supposed vision from God, deliver a false Jesus. They say they believe in Jesus, but it is not the right Jesus. How can one tell if one is following the right Jesus? He will be the Jesus of the Bible.
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Acts 1:11 KJV).
It is very concerning that many women Bible teachers say they have had visions and are drifting toward Charismatic behavior with physical manifestations. One hallmark of a false vision is that true visions call upon people to repent. False visions never do. They're always about one's comfort and ease, or a new way to be a Christian, or some other puffery that will lead a person away from the only true word, the Bible.
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

Most Dangerous Religious Cults: begun from visions and direct revelations from celestial beings claiming to be Mary, Jesus, angels, and so on. Beware those who claim to have had visions, dreams, and interactions with celestial beings! From these, some of the world's most dangerous cults and false religions have sprung!
L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the cult of Scientology, started his cult on the basis of a near-death experience he had under the influence of nitrous oxide during a dental procedure. When he awakened and recovered, Hubbard said he had seen the secrets of life. (Source, his unpublished tome Excalibur, later re-worked into his more famous Dianetics book). Not that I can find particular evidence of any visionary manifestations of the physical, but with Hubbard I'm just noting that once again, a cult is built on personal revelations supposedly received from the divine or otherworldly source.
Unification Church members believe that Jesus appeared to Mun Yong-myong when he was 16 years old on Easter morning of 1935 (April 17) and asked him to accomplish the work left unfinished because of his crucifixion. After a period of prayer and consideration, Mun accepted the mission, later changing his name to Mun Son-myong (Sun Myung Moon). Source
The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God was a breakaway religious movement from the Roman Catholic Church founded by Credonia Mwerinde, Joseph Kibweteere and Bee Tait in Uganda. It was formed in the late 1980s after Mwerinde, a brewer of banana beer, and Kibweteere, a politician, claimed that they had visions of the Virgin Mary. Source
Raëlism is rooted in the experiences of a French former automobile journalist and race car driver Claude Vorilhon. In his books The Book Which Tells the Truth (1974) and Extraterrestrials Took Me to their Planet (1975), Vorilhon had alien encounters with beings who gave him knowledge of the origins of all major religions.

The SBIR program was established by Congress in 1982 with a statutory purpose to strengthen the role of innovative small business concerns in Federally funded research or research and development (R/R&D ). The STTR program is a sister program to SBIR, established by Congress in 1992. A difference in the programs is that the STTR requires the small business to have a research partner consisting of a University, Federally Funded Research and Development Center, or a qualified non-profit research institution.
The programs are designed in a three-phased award process. Phase I awards support exploration, merit or feasibility of an idea or technology. Phase II awards results to develop and evaluate commercial potential. Phase III awards provide for product commercialization. For more information, visit the SBIR/STTR SBA site.
The following Federal departments and agencies set aside a portion of their R/R&D funds for SBIR awards to small business. Six Federal agencies reserve a portion of their funds to be awarded via the STTR program (*):

Hey there!
One of the most popular books for entrepreneurs is Napoleon Hill's "Think And Grow Rich". And for good reason! Whenever someone asks me what my favorite business book is, this one is always the first to pop into my brain.
If you haven't read it, it's one you'll want to pick up sooner rather than later. Especially if you want to start thinking more abundantly when it comes to using your natural talents and money.
This video does a great job quickly summarizing what the book is about. Even though it's only 3.33 minutes, it's inspiring none-the-less. Take a look at it. (If you're watching in silence, the transcript is below it).
Transcript of the video:
Napoleon Hill says you can think and grow rich, but if you've been brought up as most people as work and you won't starve, this will make you uncomfortable. You might think "that's just stupid, it can't be that easy", and even though the only way you'll ever be rick is by thinking.
It's the hardest work there is.
Let's take a look at my videos. Everything I do can be outsourced. I can pay $1 to a guy across the world to animate my video. I can pay a few dollars for a 10x more pleasing voice over. I can even outsource little things like uploading my videos for a few cents to people who will gladly do it. The only think I can not outsource is my thoughts. I can not outsource my mindset for what needs to be animated and what needs to be said.
Again, if I were to outsource it, the animation can be valued at a single dollar. A voice over can be valued at a few dollars. All the little logistics can be valued at a few cents. But the value my thoughts can generate is literally only limited by my imagination.
There are millions of people around the world who work 12 hour days at horrible jobs and make less money than if I were to sit back, do nothing, and let my tiny YouTube channel I created a couple of months ago make money on it's own.
And all because I was willing to think.
There's no way you can read and get paid for it, right?
If you look for a job that will pay you for reading your favorite books, you probably won't find one.
If you think however, turns out the amount of opportunities is only limited by your imagination.
Again, the only advantage I have over the guy willing to animate my video for a dollar is my thoughts. It's kind of crazy when you think about it that way. If he knew what to animate instead of how to animate, he wouldn't be making a dollar for every hundred dollars he makes for someone else.
However, thinking has no value to most people. In fact, it's associated with laziness.
When I graduated, every time I talked to my mom, she would ask me "Have you started working at a good job?" And I would say "No, I'm actually thinking about what I'm going to do." And she would say "Okay, but you need to work."
The reason she's acting that way is because next time she sees her friends, she wants to say "My son works at a bank" not "my son has been thinking a lot". The latter has no value to her friends. But, let's not ask my mom's friends about growing rich, let's ask a man who personified growing rich.
Henry Ford said "Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it."
If you think Ford is just being poetic, let me give you a little challenge. Next time you have a day off from your 9 to 5, spend the 8 hours thinking in your room instead. No phone. No Facebook. No bullshit. Just sit in your room quietly and think. In 5 minutes, most people will start wishing they were back at their 9 to 5.

The effect of Audience on Music Performance Anxiety
Effect of Audience on Music Performance Anxiety
Albert LeBlanc, Young Chang Jin, Mary Obert and Carolyn Siivola
Journal of Research in Music Education, Vol. 45, No. 3 (Autumn, 1997), pp. 480-496
This study looks at the effect of audience on music performance anxiety. In particular, 27 high school band members were chosen that were performing in an upcoming concert (16 males and 11 females). The instruments represented included flute oboe clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, snare drum, and orchestra bells. Participants were tested in three performance situations, corresponding to three levels of audience presence: the first was performing alone in a practice room; the second situation was in the practice room with one researcher present; the third was in a rehearsal room with the researchers present, a peer group (9-16 members of participants in the study), and a tape recording being made at the same time. The recording was then judged by the four researchers on a scale from 1 to 10.
Study took place six weeks befrore a major performance. Students that did not have a solo to perform in the upcoming concert, were allowed to choose from a collection of wind instrument solos that would be relatively easy (as determined by the band director).
Anxiety levels were measured through a self-reported survey, the Personal Performance Anxiety Report, which participants would fill out immediatley after each performance situation, which asked them to indicate anxiety levels on a scale ranging from 0 to 10. Heart rate was measured by a Polar-Vantage heart-rate motnitor that monitored heart rate during each performance situation, recording heart-rate at five-second intervals.
The students were instructed to prepare their solos in typical conditions - practicing at home, with the option of asking the band director for help. No student performed from memory.
Not surprisingly, the anxiety self-reports indicate increased anxiety in each of the performance situations. Both anxiety levels and mean heart-rate remained nearly constant between the first two performance situations. Both anxiety and heart rate rose significantly in the third performance setting. Gender proved to be a factor not only in self-reported anxiety but also in increased heart-rate. While female musicians presented better perfomances (as determined by the judges), they also reported significantly higher anxiety levels and increased heart-rates than male students.
In an exit interview, the participants were asked which situation was the most stressful to them. Not surprisingly, the third situation was rated as the most stressful by most participants - 63%, representing 17 participants. 30% (eight participants ) said playing for one researcher was the most stressful, while 7% (two participants) said playing alone was the most stressful.
The authors conclude that this study confirms earlier studies done of older musicians that the presence of an audience has an effect on both anxiety and on heart-rate of performers. The authors also suggest that music pedagogues should be aware of the potential stress that can arrise in performing in front of an audience for music students, as well as the possible effect of gender on anxiety.
A very interesting study that supports the idea that playing in front of a physical audience can be more stressful than practicing. This seems to indicate that these types of situations need to be created in the period of time leading up to a performance, as an example of "practicing performing."
The authors point out a possible weakness in the study: only highly motivated students would choose to perform a solo, thus self-selecting the better performers. However, other studies have confirmed similar results.
It seems at first glance surprising that some participants would cite performing alone as the most stressful. However, one of the possible weaknesses of the study is that it is possible that during the study, students were in fact learning how to deal with performance anxiety. In the first scenario, students probably felt some anxiety since the situation is new, as compared to practicing at home. In the second, with one researcher present, they may have mentally prepared, gotten used to having a heart-rate monitor strapped to them. By the third, they may be expecting the more stress, but have found their own coping-mechanisms for performance anxiety, thereby perceiving the situation as not stressful. This kind of gradual "practicing performing" is something that can be tremendously useful to all music students and performers.
Lastly, there are other studies that have not found gender to be a factor in predicting performance anxiety. I wonder if the results in this study as pertains to gender would be replicated in a larger-scale study.

This is a subject that I am very interested in, as I have suffered from performance anxiety to the point where my abilities and execution suffered as well. I have been humiliated on stage, not because I wasn't prepared, but because I was shaking/sweating so profusely I couldn't handle my saxophone. However, my performance anxiety wasn't just based on whether there was an audience present, it was the type of audience that was the determining factor. I would succumb to the pressure when I was performing for teachers or for classmates – but put me on a stage in a bar full of locals and I am in heaven. It is also about where and with what you are most comfortable. The more comfortable you are with anything, the easier and less stressful it is going to be. I think that your idea about "practicing performances" is essential to curbing stage fright. It's as much about experience as it is about preparation – the "10,000 hours" fits in nicely here. In a school setting I think we need to keep in mind what significance we as music educators may be placing on our students' performances.

1 reviewRate this Rental
By treacleslippers - stayed here from 4th May 2010 to 28th May 2011
This rental looks like a basic two-up, two-down house, but is in fact ground floor flat with it's own front door. The flat above is the same layout and was owner-occupied at the time we were there.
The flat comprises 2 very good sized bedrooms, a bathroom, large kitchen and large living room. Double glazing was put in on our arrival in 2010. Unfortunately, this caused excessive growth of black mould, which hopefully has been dealt with since. The landlord is very nice and accommodating and will deal with any issues directly.
Our reason for leaving was the upstairs neighbour and our experiences in this respect have affected our rating. Noise was a considerable issue, as was his being a fantasist with a well-known temper and tendency to imbibe. Our relationship with him concluded on moving out day with a 999 call that led to one of us having a trip to hospital and him having a trip to the local magistrates court, which is on public record.Sign in to comment on this review

After almost 10 years, I am still using the Logitech G5 as my daily driver. I have worn the paint off of three spots, and have contemplated replacing the teflon gliders on occasion, but this thing hasn't let me down once!
Out of curiosity I looked at my options for replacing this mouse, and apparently I am not the only person to want another one. The going rate for this mouse is $265 which is about $200 more than I paid in 2005. Yikes!
In unrelated news, I have an unspecified vintage computer peripheral for sale that has appreciated over 4 times its original worth. It may or may not contain missing paint in 3 areas, and may or may not require new teflon gliders. $250 CAD - Makes a great stocking stuffer or host gift for that discerning geek in your life.

Today marks the final end of a chapter in my life. My marriage is officially over today. As I close this era, I want to document some memories.
I want to remember the thrill of riding a motorcycle through canyons: leaning deep into the turns and accelerating around the corners.
I want to remember my animal friends from Sweets, my first pet rat, to Alex and Chester, the kittens that reminded me of how much I love cats.
I want to remember birthday celebrations like my surprise party at Chuck E. Cheese's, Emily's green St. Patty's day birthday party, and dual Halloween/birthday spectaculars: decorating the apartment to create an entirely different atmosphere and planning the details from the color of beverages to the flow of the soundtrack.
I want to remember the Halloween traditions of dreaming up and creating costumes: spending hours constructing the perfect hat or browsing through stores for just the right stockings.
I want to remember Hallie's amazing meals. She would prepare the most delicious feasts.
I want to write my own history and look back on those years with appreciation. My heart is full of gratitude for my dear friends who have helped me wade through this process. Thank you for being patient with me.

Faceted search is becoming a de facto search feature for websites such as online stores and digital libraries. From interaction design perspective, faceted search is essentially an alternative to advanced search - "post-coordinate boolean operations via a navigational metaphor". It has a propensity to enhance the affordance of advanced search, as less efforts are required from the users to perform the equivalent and traditionally more convoluted search tasks.
This post describes the faceted search infrastructure development of the JISC UX2 project. The infrastructure is based on Apache Solr, a Java-based faceted search platform. In Part 1 of this post, I described the general setup of Solr for multi-sourced data, metadata (MARC XML) mapping and the experience of importing the CERN book dataset using Solr's Data Import Hanlder (DIH). For the purpose of UI prototyping and testing, UX2 is incorporating the CERN dataset in combinant with existing digital library content held in a Fedora Commons repository. The rest of this post provides an account of the development of Solr, to enable metadata and rich binary documents (PDF, PowerPoints etc) from a Fedora repository, to be indexed for faceted search service.
This is also a technical report for JISC. If the content is too lengthy, you can skip to "Epilogue" to review the outputs directly.

Every few months, there is a post on my Facebook feed from someone who is "disgusted" by displays of love on Facebook. The passive aggression is just too funny, of course, but I see the point. It can be kind of eye-rollingly annoying to have a feed full of love.
"My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world," my friend Mark's status might read. The next day, his wife's status is this: "Alice think she has the most wonderful husband in history." It's always certain couples and it sure can get cringe-worthy, but for the most part, I like it. The fact is, unless you know the couple personally and know that they're overcompensating for a less-than-stellar relationship, then it's nice to see two people in love.
There is far too much hating going on in the world and far too little loving. So why does it annoy people so much?
Singer Pink and her husband of six years Carey Hart recently took to Twitter to profess their love. "Happy anniversary to my beautiful wife who I love so much," Hart tweeted last week. While some might groan at the public use of technology to express love, I say why not?
The only time it grosses me out is when I know the couple in question is just faking their "love" to get attention or to feign perfection. But for most couples, it's just how they feel. I know I am very guilty of this.
I would guess half my Facebook friends want to puke each time I post about my love for my spouse, but the fact is, I do love him and I want to declare it. If I am feeling it, why wouldn't I say it? And a better question might be: Why does it bother you? Are you really so unhappy in your own life and marriage that you feel the need to knock someone else's? If so, you have bigger problems than some affectionate Facebook pals.
This all goes back to the question of PDA and how it really grosses some people out to even see a couple holding hands. Why? Isn't that a nice thing? A worthy thing? Something we should want to see more of?
Truthfully, when I see two friends who have been married as long as I have who have more than one child and full-time jobs who can still express love for one another, I am happy. It makes me happy. When I see a cousin who is recently married declaring her love for her new husband, it makes me feel good about my marriage and makes me smile for her. And when my younger friend who just got engaged waxes on and on about her love for her fiance, my heart soars for her.
If you have a problem with "love" on Facebook, then maybe you are the one with the problem, not the lovebirds themselves.
Does love on Facebook annoy you?

What is happening to me?! I promise I'm not really a short tempered person but here I am. I'm snappy and tired but I can't sleep. I am just telling myself this is what the third trimester of pregnancy is like but I don't remember it being like this before. I'm so winded easily and have to stop to catch my breath often. I used to be an athlete. :( Now folding laundry makes me tired. Crying all the time.
I'm usually so silly too. I am the queen of stupid puns and jokes of our apartment. I'm having trouble finding funny things to laugh about. Dog hair on the couch makes me angry cry. Dirty dishes in the sink? Angry cry. The scale is telling me that I am a little bigger today than I wanted to be-even though I'm completely healthy and normal? Angry cry. This is like the world's weirdest and longest period. Screw you, hormones.
ETA: I realized I haven't eaten all day too. Apparently I'm so forgetful I can't be bothered with basic functioning. :(

If you are a very strong runner, cyclist or swimmer, it's understandable if you throw all your training efforts into that one discipline. Your every focus is on lowering your PB or finishing higher in races. But you won't be surprised to hear that I'd advise you to consider branching out into more than one discipline.
You may be apprehensive, thinking that diverting some of your training time into sports where you're not as strong will adversely affect your core skill set. But by expanding to include other sports, whether it's a duathlon or a triathlon, not only will you get more pleasure from training and racing, you'll also get fitter, stronger and less prone to pick up niggling or recurring injuries. It's not the case that you'll end up a jack-of-all-trades: you master them all.
Take your time
I'm not going to sugar-coat this. Moving from one to two or more disciplines takes time and effort. Start by introducing the new discipline into your existing training programme. Instead of a run, go for an easy swim or ride, treating it as an active recovery session. Don't jump straight into hard sessions of the new sport because your muscles need time to get accustomed to it. Going full-on too early will lead to disappointment in your performance and that could mean you lose motivation and go back to being a soloist.
Get online
There are so many great online resources. Just Google 'triathlon training' and you'll find loads. Check out forums and websites, and YouTube has plenty of excellent technical videos on how you can iron out any kinks in your technique. Even something as simple as setting your bike up correctly can make a massive difference in performance. The same goes for your swimming stroke. Great technique is the difference between average and good times. You can even seek out professional help by seeing a coach. A cheaper option is to join a club that focuses on multi-discipline events. If you do that you're likely to meet experienced racers, who can be just as useful a resource as a pro coach, especially when you're just starting out.
Brick it
Once you're happy with your technique in the new discipline it's time to start doing brick sessions, which is when you cycle then immediately run, or swim then jump straight on the bike. These sessions are designed to train your muscles to adapt quickly to the demands you put on them. The better you are at moving efficiently from one discipline to the other, the faster you can start performing near to your maximum capacity.
Get racing
There's no better way to get better than by entering a race. Not only will putting a race in your diary give you more motivation and focus in training, there's also nothing to beat the feeling of standing on the start line of an event you've never done before. Well, I guess the feeling of finishing it is the only better thing! Don't worry too much about getting a great time in your first race – you're going to get a PB anyway. It's far more important to enjoy it, then look back at it and reflect to figure out what you did right and what you need to work on.
Remember that success won't come overnight so try to enjoy your transition to a multi-discipline athlete. Yes, you're doing this to get fitter and faster but having fun still comes first.

As a personal injury attorney, one of the most difficult challenges I face is communicating to a jury the agony a patient goes through during an extended hospitalization.

Jason Walker is the main character of the Beyonders series. He is first introduced as a thirteen-year-old boy who lives in Vista, Colorado. Along with Rachel Woodruff, he becomes one of the first people to visit Lyrian in 100 years.
A World Without Heroes
While volunteering one day at the local zoo, Jason hears music coming from the hippo. He accidentally falls into the tank and, as the hippo swallows him, is drawn into Lyrian. Ending up on the banks of a river at night, he witnesses the Giddy Nine about to send themselves off a waterfall; he grabs a bow and attempts to stop the raft. Through his actions, he manages to save the life of Tark, though the other band members are swept off the waterfall anyway.
Jason soon ends up at the Repository of Learning, where he mistakenly learns one of the syllables for the Edomic Word that can destroy Maldor. His life now in danger, he is told to seek the Blind King for help. When he reaches the Blind King, he is introduced to Rachel, a spunky girl from Washington who found herself in Lyrian at the same time he did. The Blind King tells them that they must visit the various syllable guardians and get the whole Word.
Jason and Rachel meet a displacer named Ferrin, who travels with them a while and gains their trust as they find syllables. Eventually it is revealed that Ferrin was really spying on them for Maldor all along, and they part ways, with Ferrin saying that he has really become their friend, even if he was spying on them. In their various following escapades as they continue searching for the syllables, Jason becomes the Chancellor of Trensicourt and survives the subsequent assassination attempt instigated by the former Chancellor, Jason is offered an invitation to Harthenham (something Maldor offers only to his greatest enemies), and they meet Jasher, one of the Amar Kabal. They also travel into the Sunken Lands and meet a syllable guardian called Corinne, who lives in a tree surrounded by puffball mushrooms that cause temporary amnesia. Eventually, since Jason was told that the last syllable is tattooed on a man named Kimp in Harthenham, he accepts the invitation.
Harthenham is a place of unbridled luxury, where Maldor's enemies are essentially bought off by the amazing food and living. Jason finds the very last syllable, as hoped, and breaks his way out along with Tark (who had ended up there not long before), Drake, and Tristan. Jasher and Rachel are waiting for them nearby. They are immediately pursued from Harthenham, and Tristan and Jasher are killed in the ensuing skirmish. Jason gives Jasher's seed to Tark for safekeeping. More riders approach, and Jason tells Tark to ride off with Rachel and Drake. Jason is then captured by Maldor's forces.
Near Felrook, Drake catches up to Jason and his captors, killing the soldiers. But Jason feels it is his duty to go to Felrook and unmake Maldor with the Word, despite the risk. Drake helps him get there, and Jason is recaptured and brought before Maldor. There he says the word ("arimfexendrapuse"), but the Word fails. Maldor reveals to him shortly afterward, in private, that the Word is a fraud, meant to unmake another wizard called Orruck, and that he planted the whole idea of it as a diversion to distract his enemies pointlessly. Jason is placed in a dungeon and tortured, until Ferrin, who was not lying when he said he was his friend, breaks him out and takes him to a secret well in a cave that leads back to Jason's world. Reluctant to leave Rachel behind, and having just discovered that the Word was pointless - which no one else knew - Jason tries to resist. Ferrin pushes him into the water, and Jason grabs his hand and drags him under as well. Ferrin stuggled to get his hand back above water, but fails. Jason then keeps Ferrin's hand. He ends up in a cornfield in Iowa, about four months after he first ended up in Lyrian.
Seeds of Rebellion
(needs expansion)
A few months later, Jason is back home. He has taught Ferrin's hand sign language and they are able to communicate that way.
Chasing the Prophecy
(needs expansion)
Rachel: A girl from Washington who is homeschooled. The two meet in Lyrian and must work together despite their differences.
At the beginning of A World Without Heroes, Jason is shown to be a carefree teenager. His only worries are about talking to girls and the future career in dentistry his parents have planned. When he ends up in Lyrian, he demonstrates exemplary courage and loyalty and tries to do the right thing no matter the consequences to himself.

McLaren explains driving the 570S over a frozen lake is the "ultimate test for both car and driver'. The video is of course, exquisitely filmed, being made by McLaren themselves and we all know McLaren's obsessive detailing when it comes to their cars.

SAA (53.50 ↓-2.83%) has sent written objections to the carbon trading scheme that the EU intends to introduce early next year, which will effectively tax the airline's long-haul flights to Europe without any apparent benefit to the environment.
The International Air Transport Association (Iata), to which SAA belongs, is already fighting the proposed tax on behalf of all airlines.
Dileseng Koetle, SAA's acting head of corporate affairs, said SAA believed the scheme was unfair because it taxed airlines on the whole journey, from the point of take-off until the return, when only a small portion was actually taking place within the EU, which is South Africa's main source market for incoming tourism.
"The proceeds from the carbon tax are being collected to be placed in the general fiscus of the EU. The funds are not being earmarked for any environmental programmes," he said.
"The cost to SAA is complex to quantify as it is dependent on the carbon credit amounts paid by the airline, which we will be forced to purchase on the open carbon markets."
She said it might also mean that SAA would be "subject to double (and more) taxation when South Africa introduces its own carbon taxes and other African countries which we overfly introduce their own taxes and we are liable for EU taxes for the same journey".
Koetle said SAA had implemented various operational measures to cut pollution by using less fuel and was working closely with local aviation partners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. "In addition SAA is investigating numerous programmes to reduce emissions and to contain and reduce our carbon footprint."
Gidon Novick, the joint chief executive of Comair, which has announced plans to fly between Durban's King Shaka International Airport and Gatwick in London from next year, said airlines were already very heavily taxed.
Giovanni Bisignani, Iata's chief executive, said last week that he thought the EU would be prevented, on legal grounds, from introducing the carbon trading scheme in its present form because it had no legal right to tax airlines on emissions outside its own air space.
Bisignani has written to Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan asking him not to introduce a proposed tax on carbon emissions in South African air space because it would harm the domestic tourism industry, which the government had identified as important for the creation of new jobs.

Makes: 4 servings
Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Canola or olive oil cooking spray
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup coarse dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat (see Note)
1 pound chicken tenders
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup marinara sauce, heated
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a large wire rack on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.
Place flour in a shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in another shallow dish. Combine Parmesan and breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish. Toss tenders with Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt in a medium bowl. Coat each tender in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in egg and let any excess drip off. Then roll in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the tenders on the prepared rack. Generously coat the top of each tender with cooking spray.
Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each tender over and coat with cooking spray. Continue baking until the outside is crisp and the tenders are cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Serve the tenders with marinara sauce for dipping.
Note: We like Ian's brand of coarse dry whole-wheat "Panko breadcrumbs." Find them in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets. To make your own breadcrumbs, trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. (To make fine dry breadcrumbs, process until very fine.) Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 250°F until dry, about 10 to 15 minutes. One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs.

Dear Benjamin, You may know that the SW Education and Outreach Interest Group [1] has just started. One of the things that we are contemplating (and just gathering information) is providing information on existing tutorials, presentations, books, etc. You were the editor of the list of tutorials for the SW BPD Working Group[2]. It is clearly *not* the goal of the SWEO IG to duplicate work and ignore what others have done. I was wondering if you could tell us about the experiences you had, whether you plan to keep these pages updated or you prefer to give it away, etc. Thanks Sincerely Ivan [1] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/ [2] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/Tutorials -- Ivan Herman, W3C Semantic Web Activity Lead URL: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ PGP Key: http://www.cwi.nl/%7Eivan/AboutMe/pgpkey.html FOAF: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf.rdfReceived on Sunday, 26 November 2006 08:13:53 UTC

At Thometz & Uhland Orthodontics, most of our patients will need to wear rubber bands at some point during their orthodontic treatment. The purpose of rubber bands is to correct an overbite or underbite. If your teeth do not fit properly, Dr. Thometz and Dr. Uhland may recommend you wear rubber bands during treatment.
Here are some tips for wearing rubber bands:
Use the correct rubber bands. Rubber bands come in different diameters and elastic strengths. We will provide you with specific rubber bands that fit the needs of your smile. Make sure you use the ones given by us in order for your jaw to move into place properly.
Wear them for the right amount of time. Be sure to wear your rubber bands for the appropriate amount of time that is prescribed by our orthodontists. Depending on our instructions, you may need to wear your rubber bands all the time or part-time, like during the day or during sleep. If you don't wear them as prescribed, your jaw and teeth can start moving back to original positions, which can prolong treatment time.
Wear them appropriately. Patients have been known to double up on rubber bands thinking that it will make their teeth move faster. However, this can create more problems with your jaw and teeth. Also, do not wear rubber bands longer than instructed. Over time, the rubber bands will begin to lose their elasticity, which can affect treatment.
If you have any questions about orthodontic rubber bands, be sure to contact our Northbrook orthodontists. Wearing rubber bands is an important process during your treatment, and can reduce the time you have your braces.

It was cousin Chew's birthday and he asked us out for dinner. Rightfully we should had treated the birthday boy to the meal. But he was the host instead, the reason being we had no idea that it was his day. He asked us out and we gladly went along.
The place he took us to was a Japanese BBQ restaurant in Kota Damansara. Known as Gyukingu (牛大王 or Beef King), it is located on the first floor above the Al Rajhi Bank on Jalan PJU 5/17.
They have a bull head for their identity. It was Christmas season (last December) and the happy bespectacled bull wore a red cap. I wonder why restaurants use such motifs as they their trademarks - smiling bull and elated chicken - when they are the ones being eaten!
Inside, the restaurant belied its small insignificant entrance. It was a large place, nicely furnished with tables, cubicles and private dining rooms.
And a large, well stocked bar.
We were led to a private room. It was dining tatami style. sitting on the floor. Thankfully they had a recess under the table and was not so taxing on our old stiff legs. The room was small and windowless, and the walls and ceiling were painted black. Fortunately we had good company and conversations to distract us from the surrounding. Otherwise it was like sitting in a prison cell and could be very stifling and claustrophobic.
We had to remove our shoes before we enter our room. And when I came out to relieve myself, I could not find them (they apparently kept them in a hidden rack) and I had to tread barefooted to the loo.
The menu was tantalising.
This Christmas offer that included Wagyu beef, Okinawa bacon and a bottle of red wine for 4 to 6 persons was very reasonably priced at just RM388++.
While cousin Chew selected the meats, we waited for the wine to breathe.
His choice was breathtaking. There was a variety of seasoned beef...
And marinated pork..
Grilled over a coal fire...
And eaten with fresh salads.
Thoroughly delicious.
The Wagyu beef deserved a special mention. It was exceptional. I could see why it was so prized. It was so tender and succulent, almost melting in the mouth.
We had some fresh scallops too.
Carefully grilling them to ensure they are not overdone.
Besides the self-grills, we also had some side dishes. Like this good size squid. It was done by the chef and was so fresh and succulent. Very good indeed.
Bowls or garlic fried rice and miso soup for each of us.
And even some Korean fare - bibimbap and kimchi.
Dessert was sesame ice cream which to me was rather unusual in flavour. I really do not think sesame is a good ingredient for ice cream.
I preferred the yuzu (a Japanese sour citrus) sherbert.
It was an awesome meal. Cousin Chew's dinners have always been elaborate affairs. This certainly was no exception. Happy birthday again, Chew.

The Best So Far
We cooked in Whitewright TX for the Firefighters Fundraiser and we cleaned up.
First off I want to say how proud of the wife I am for getting 1st place chili. She almost cried when they called her number. I knew she won the moment I tasted her chili right before turn in.
I won 4th place with mine and was happy about that.
After we turned in our chili, this place has a people's choice award where all the public gets to go around and taste everyones chili. They bring little cups and we fill the cups and then they score how good it was on a card. The wife and I decided to combine our two chilies so we would have enough for everyone. Well, we ended up getting 2nd place In peoples choice.
On top of all that we also won a 75.00 dollar voucher for the wife to get a body wrap, a 75.00 dollar Academy gift card, a 25.00 dollar Walmart gift card and the best of all, A night out on the town in a brand new Cadillac and a 100.00 dollar gift card to a fancy restaurant I can't even pronounce.
Last year all together we won about 1300.00 dollars worth of prizes but nothing on the chili. This year we won about 500.00 worth of prizes and three trophies.
The wife now has 4 points and I have 3. We need 12 to be invited to the world championship.
This kind of weekend is what makes me come back for more. We had a great time, with great friends cooking for a great cause with a great outcome.
That's it for now,

Mrs. and Mr. MDR,ReplyDelete
Congratulations!!!! This year was a great win for the both of you.
I'm so happy for you two. Enjoy your winnings, I look forward to hearing more about future events.Replies

Congratulations! Trophies and prizes are great, but the memories ...those are priceless! : )ReplyDelete
That's true HB, Thanks for the comment.Delete
Well, congratulations!!!!! It's about time they recognize what good chili was!!!! Lol!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
No kidding SFG, I was beginning to wonder.Delete
That's great news. The good thing is, you guts enjoy doing it. Have a nice dinner ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks J&M, We will do our best.Delete
Whoo Hooo!!!! Congratulations!!!!!ReplyDelete
I truly think all contests should be a "people's choice". But then some entrants would bring their family and friends and tip the scales. And the fact that when it was people's choice, they chose whose chili they REALLY liked. YAY and Congratulations.ReplyDelete
The fact it was a firefighter's benefit makes me feel extra happy.Replies
Thanks LJ,Delete
The problem with people's choice is that it all depends on how you "sell" it. I could have served dog crap but if I was a good sales person then I would score high.
I was selling mine as as close to organic as possible. We were using grass fed beef with peppers grown in our garden. The folks just loved it.
Then I would say you've found your 'hook'. Every great salesman tells the public what they want to hear! Add great chili to your pitch and you've got it! YAY again!Delete
