Two global civil society organizations, Conservation International (CI) and the World Wildlife Fund-US (WWF-US) can now directly access funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) under a decision welcomed today by the GEF's governing Council.
The decision marks an important milestone in the 22-year history of the GEF. For the first time, civil society organizations can directly access GEF funding for environmental projects without having to go through another GEF agency. The approval given to CI and WWF-US by an independent GEF Accreditation Panel comes after a rigorous assessment confirmed that they meet the GEF's fiduciary standards and environmental and social safeguards. A review process considering applications by other organizations to become GEF Project Agencies is underway.
In remarks Tuesday to the GEF Council, meeting in Washington this week, GEF CEO and Chairperson Naoko Ishii congratulated CI and WWF-US on the approval. Both organizations have a long history of working with the GEF. The partnership designation gives them much greater initiative in the design of projects, and responsibility in their implementation.
"I would like to sincerely welcome Conservation International and World Wildlife Fund-US to the GEF family. The accreditation of new GEF Project Agencies, enabling them to access GEF funds to implement environmental projects, is an important way to strengthen the GEF Partnership. I am very excited about having CI and WWF-US among us. CI and WWF-US will help us further diversify the GEF's tool-box, and allow us to present countries with a broader array of options that can best support them to address the drivers of global environmental degradation " Ishii said.
CI and WWF-US join the roster of 10 GEF Agencies: the African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Inter-American Development Bank, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and the World Bank.
"We are pleased and honored to receive the accreditation as a GEF Project Agency. This is a historic moment for us as it will be the first time that non-governmental organizations can directly access and disburse resources from the largest public funder of projects to improve the global environment. We look forward to working together with governments, private sector and other GEF agencies to design strong projects that will leverage science-based solutions to protect nature for human well-being but also contribute to the sustainable development agenda", said Lilian Spijkerman, Vice President of Global Public Partnerships at Conservation International's Center for Environment and Peace.
"WWF is proud to join the GEF partnership. We commit to work with the GEF and leverage our partnerships and resources to help developing countries address some of the biggest challenges of our day. Natural resource depletion and climate change continue to destabilize ecosystems. We need a whole new set of partnerships and innovations to ensure a future in which both people and nature thrive," said Carter Roberts, president and CEO of World Wildlife Fund – US (WWF-US).
CI has worked with the GEF since its inception in 1991 in endeavors ranging from engaging as a member of the GEF non-governmental organization network to supporting the execution of approximately $80 million in GEF funding in the past seven years. CI's vast experience in innovative funding for environmental projects and private sector engagement and will add immense value to the network of agencies by providing expertise in the most pressing environmental and development challenges.
WWF offices around the world have been involved with the design or execution of more than 100 GEF projects over the past 20 years. With over 5,000 conservation professionals in more than 100 countries, the breadth of WWF's global presence is unmatched among conservation non-governmental organizations. WWF-US is the North American branch of WWF.

Slow Cooker Comfort Food is not the first slow cooker book Judith Finlayson has written at least six others...I even have one or two myself. And now that the weather is turning cooler and I know...like it or not...that those brisk days of Fall will be followed by the bone chilling cold of winter in the Maritimes...let's just say....slow cooked comfort food sounds just about right to me.
When I think comfort food + slow cooker, I first think of roasts or stews and there are plenty of those in the book. In fact.......first up Sunday Pot Roast Dinner , which met all the comfort food criteria...lots of thick, rich gravy, meat that falls apart - you only need a fork, glass of wine and friends to round out the perfect meal. We had all the above.
And there are 28 soups from delicate like shrimp bisque to hearty gumbos and lentil based soups. There are even desserts (cranberry pecan pear crumble & maple spiked carrot pudding with candied ginger sound particularly appealing) and appetizers (lots of dips and what really caught my attention - two kinds of corn bread! Yes, corn bread in the slow cooker! You actually place all the ingredients into a loaf or round pan that fits into your slow cooker...I definitely have to try that out).
But the most wonderful part of the book is the broad ethnic variety of dishes, lots of curries, Moroccan Lemon Chicken with Olives, smothered country-style ribs, lamb shanks braised in tomato sauce with lemon gremolata (one of my favorite Italian dishes), winter borscht that must be from Eastern Europe...the list is endless...well almost endless.
And I haven't even mentioned all the vegetarian dishes like gingery red lentils with spinach & coconut or saffron spiked squash tagine with couscous, tofu enchiladas....
All in all 275 serious comfort options to try.

I think we have a wrong misinterpretation about "yes" and "no" votes
I read over a few posts regarding the yes and no votes below and I cant believe I have missed the obvious:
People are under the misinterpretation that by voting yes for a guy means that he is popular and well liked by the forum where as voting no means he is hated or disliked by the community. That is so wrong. That is not what voting is about.
You ask what should it mean? Isn't it obvious? I think it is soooo obvious that most of us missed it. What we should be voting for is not whether we like the guy or hate him, it should be for if we think he CAN DO THE JOB OR NOT.
I might like such and such as a good buddy, but that doesnt mean he would be the ideal person for a Senator position. I might dislike such and such, but that doesn not mean he would be a bad Senator.
Just wanted to get this off my chest because I feel that the reasoning behind the votes are for the wrong reasons.
Ahhh.... now that's a relief.
Yes, that's exactly what the yes and no votes stand for. The only thing you can derive from them, is that if you have a lot of no votes, it would imply that a lot of people don't think you're up to the task. Your posting might have led them to believe that.
You would be surprised on how people were voting. They failed to realize that they might be putting people in the Senate that probably have no interest in running a community oriented system to help ensure fun and promote activities to bring us closer together. Some were treating it as a popularity contest.
Yeah, i know that i, at least, voted only for people that i thought should be in the senate, not for the people i simply liked. That is the way i think it should be done, and was meant to be done. That is why, if someone gets alot of "no" votes, that means that people don't think they are qualified, and that is why they need to be "reviewed" before they are accepted, not because they are unpopular. Of course, i don't think we are gonna have a problem this time around.

Breaking down feeling weak
Thinkin about the higher ground that I wish to
For safeness
For realness
I'll break it down simple for my people to hear this
Cause my shit is for realness
For my people to hear this
Six years of age when I first got my rage
Father broke out
Then I turned a new page of my life
Then it was crazy
Thanx to my mom cause she stuck by to raise me
Since I was a baby
She stuck by to raise me
There is no sound
Coming up from the ground
No way
Not this time
Buried deep inside
There is no evidence
Feelings that I hide
Sometimes are too intense
In the dark I think I'm nutty
Vicious swords of emotion slash
And leave me bloody
I said you fucking die

Coronado Earns Two Orchid Awardsback
Coronado Earns Two Orchid Awards
Coronado Club Room and Boathouse, Village Theatre Honored
CORONADO, CA (October 15, 2013) - The City of Coronado is pleased to announce it has received "Orchid" design awards for two development projects; one that is new to the community and one that was recently renovated.
The awards were handed out at the San Diego Architectural Foundation's annual Orchids and Onions Awards held October 3 at Balboa Park to honor architecture, interior design, landscaping, public art and historic preservation.
Both projects - the Coronado Club Room and Boathouse and the Village Theatre -- have brought much excitement to Coronado. Coronado Mayor Casey Tanaka, City Manager Blair King, Recreation Services Director Linda Rahn and Five Star Theatres owner Lance Alspaugh attended the presentation and accepted the awards. King said the City is proud to have had a hand in both projects.
"We were able to provide a much-needed recreation
space to the community that didn't previously exist with the new Club Room and Boathouse at Glorietta Bay Park," King said. "The City also is proud of its
involvement in seeing our beloved 1947 movie house polished into the attractive
gem that it is today. Both projects created vital space for our community to
recreate and be entertained."
Coronado Club Room and Boathouse
Orchid Award for Architecture
Project Developer: City of Coronado
Architect: Hanna Gabriel Wells
The Club Room and Boathouse was the final phase of the Glorietta Bay Civic Center and Promenade Project. The 5,000-square-foot facility provides storage for paddle vessels, space for recreational programs and administrative offices. The building has become the go-to place for youth, with day camps and teen programs year-round. Jurors called the Club Room and Boathouse "a beautiful, thoughtful building that builds upon a vocabulary of elements already in the city, which could have been constraining, but was instead taken to a new level of excellence." Jurors also said the project is "well used and succeeds because it is so popular with the community. It hits every mark; the social importance and design elements create a successful and beautiful structure that will be enjoyed by the community for years to come."
The Village Theatre
Orchid Award for Historic Preservation
Project Owner: Lance Alspaugh, Five Star Theatres
Designer: Joseph J. Musil
Coronado watched helplessly as the privately owned 1947 movie house sank into a state of dilapidation and finally closed. The City, working with a determined group of community members, found an experienced theater renovator from Los Angeles to restore and re-open the theater, which closed for nearly 10 years. The Village Theatre brought a new vitality and created a catalyst for revitalization to the entire downtown area. Jurors agreed that kudos were in order for the City for its part in restoring the theater: "The architects were able to preserve the Art Deco design elements, incorporate murals in the theaters and maintain a streetscape that keeps the small-town feel of Coronado." They also said that the project was a "perfect example of the community rallying around an idea" and the City responding "with an excellent adaptive re-use of the existing theater after many years of disuse."

I bought a Permatex anaerobic gasket maker sealer which requires a spray on activator, but I was thinking that maybe the old school Indian head shellac the OE manual suggests would be best. Any thoughts or opinions ?

Famed rock singer Justin Bieber was arrested this morning and could face deportation back to his native homeland of Canada if he is convicted of all charges which include DUI (driving under the influence), resisting arrest and driving without a license, according to ABC News, Jan. 23, 2014. Allegedly Bieber, who had been drinking and taking prescription drugs and marijuana, was drag racing when he was stopped by police and arrested in Miami, Florida.
Bieber also is a suspect in an egg throwing case in which the home of a neighbor was pelted with eggs and sustained over $20,000 in damages a little over a week ago. Bieber's home was searched by detectives for evidence in the egg throwing case on Jan. 14, 2014. Bieber could face felony vandalism charges if convicted in this case and that could make the possibility of deportation more likely. During that search, a member of Bieber's team was arrested on charges of drug possession.
Of course the fact that deportation is a possibility does not make it likely. Conventional wisdom at this time seems to be that authorities are waiting for Bieber to grow up so that he is able to utilize his talent effectively within the borders of the United States. Despite this, there is an effort by concerned citizens to have Bieber deported on the grounds that he is a "bad influence" on young people. They have mobilized and circulated an online petition calling for Bieber's deportation on Whitehouse.gov.
As in all things, time will tell. We will be waiting and reporting as things develop.

Happy Birthday Hope!April 13, 2014 on 10:15 pm | In Hope | 1 Comment
Today, Hope has turned as old as a presidential term. To a former political nerd, that's quite a milestone. I realize I haven't kept the Internet updated on her and Luke's every move. But as both of them grow older, I'm finding that I enjoy spending time with them more than I do writing about them (and I need some recovery time after they go to bed!).
Hope still loves to hear and tell stories. She can sing and has a memory that rivals mine. She's fully potty trained, and even better, can clean up after herself.
Three was a lot more fun than two. But it's feeling like four may be the best year yet. Plus, she's another year closer to watching Star Wars.

St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry receives more than 1,500 pounds of donated food
May 2, 2014 | vol. 95, No. 104
Cortney Ofstad/Daily Globe
BRITTNEY CEBOLSKI passes a box to Ciara Novascone Thursday at the Michigan State Police Wakefield Post. Both are members of the St. Sebastian Youth Group in Bessemer and volunteered to help haul non-perishable food donations from the MSP post to St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry in Bessemer.
WAKEFIELD - After a month of collecting donations for its first ever food drive, the Michigan State Police Wakefield Post delivered more than 1,500 pounds to St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry in Bessemer Thursday.
Throughout April, troopers collected donations throughout the community to help the pantry. According to Lt. Donald Horn, the troopers decided to help a charity, and wanted to do something "people don't always talk about.
"People don't always talk about donating food, so we wanted to do that," Horn said. "This winter has also been hard, so we wanted to help re-stock the shelves."
Students from the St. Sebastian Youth Group in Bessemer donated their time to help load the donations to be sent to the food pantry. Students also volunteered to help weigh and organize the food at St. Vincent.
For Judy Levra, of the food pantry, the donations are "amazing." When troopers and volunteers arrived, Levra simply said, "God bless you."
In total, 1,567 pounds of food were donated, and Levra said it will help many families in the area.
"Whenever we receive food, we always need it," Levra said. "People are hungry every day. Some people donate at Christmas, and we appreciate it, but people are also hungry on Dec. 26. Donations help so many, and I have the best part of this. I get to see the smiles on people's faces when they come to get food."
According to Horn, the event may continue into the future because of the success.
"Every trooper donated, but the majority came from the community," Horn said. "It was a good response from the community."
Levra thanked the student volunteers, MSP and the community for helping at the pantry and donating
"The future is our youth," Levra said. "Having them here helping is wonderful. So often we hear about the bad stuff, but there is so much good out there; good kids, good organizations. I think it's tremendous that law enforcement serves our communities in many, many ways. We are just so thankful.
"On behalf of St. Vincent De Paul, God bless each and everyone who participated in any way in this food drive."
For more information, call the MSP Wakefield Post at 906-229-5372 or St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry at 906-663-4436.

This table has a game board built right in, so when we flippantly challenge someone to a test of strategy and honor after wine tasting, we're all set to win the war. We like that this chic geometric table keeps us from rummaging through the game closet.

Simons Tabbed as Honorable Mention GNAC POW
It is the first weekly honor of Simons' career.
In his first season as USF's starting keeper, Simons has been a solid force in the net and kept the Cougars in nearly every match despite a lack of goal support (1.1 per contest).
Backed by Simons' stellar play, USF earned a 1-1 tie with the University of Mary on Saturday. The Cougars and Marauders combined for a total of 28 shots during the 110-minute marathon, but two overtimes were not enough as the match resulted in USF's first tie of the season.
USF now stands at 1-8-1 and 1-5-1 in GNAC play.
The visiting Marauders pressed late for the game-winner, but Simons stood tall and turned away a pair of shots by Mary's Aaron McElwee in the 66th and 77th minutes to preserve the tie.
The Colorado Springs, Colo., native has been in between the pipes for all but three minutes this season (916:18). Simons' .691 save percentage is seventh in the GNAC, while he is currently ranked second in the league in saves per match (6.5).
Simons is the first Cougar to win a GNAC defensive award this season, as Brice Holiday was named the GNAC Offensive Player of the Week back on Sept. 24.
USF plays at Western Washington on Thursday at 7:30 p.m

Mount Ashland Mountain Bike Trail
Just about any place you find on TravelOregon.com can be added to your own Oregon Roadtrippers Account. Find out how.
Get on the road with Roadtrippers
We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
The Mount Ashland Mountain Bike Trail is the beginning of the famous 'Revenge of the Siskiyou' Mountain Bike Race. The route climbs uphill from Ashland to the top of Mount Ashland, a distance of 15 miles and 5500 ft. gain in elevation, and is a very difficult and challenging ride. Starting at Upper Duck Pond in Lithia Park ride up Granite Street along Ashland Creek about one mile. When the fork in the road above the siltation dam is reached, bear left on to Glenview. Follow Glenview for about 1/2 mile to Ashland Loop Road. Turn right on to Ashland Loop Road, which becomes Forest Road #2060 1.5 miles further up. When #2060 turns off to the right, continue left on to Forest Road #200. Follow 200 about four miles to 2080 to the paved mount Ashland access road. Turn right on to the access road and follow it two miles to the Ski Ashland parking lot. Continue through the parking lot and enter Forest Road 20. Follow road 20 for 1 mile to 300, which ascends to the summit of Mt. Ashland. Return the same way.
As with the Lithia Loop the first 10 miles of this ride may be closed to all entry during fire season. Mountain bikes are not permitted of roads in the Mt. Ashland area.
This ride is one of the most popular among locals, looping through the National Forest above Ashland. Though not technically difficult, the ride is strenuous, with a total elevation gain of approximately 3000 feet. The decomposed granite surface road is narrow, winding and often rutted. Bikers should control their speed of descent, and be especially watchful for oncoming cars and trucks. Carry sufficient water and a snack or lunch.
The Lithia Loop is predominantly within the Ashland Watershed, which is the source of the city's water supply and special consideration should be given to its protection. The entire watershed may be closed to all entry during the mid summer and fall when fire danger is high. No camping or campfires are allowed. Riders must stay on the roads. Use of the area is not recommended in rainy weather or when the soils are wet.
Directions: From Ashland: Drive west on Highway 66 for 1 mile to Siskiyou Boulevard. Turn right on to Siskiyou Boulevard and continue another mile. Siskiyou Boulevard becomes Lithia Way (one way). Continue a few blocks to North Pioneer Street and turn left. Continue on North Pioneer to East Main. Cross East Main and jog right toward the Plaza. Turn left on to Winburn Way and follow it up through the park to the Upper Duck Pond.
Seasonal Access: Normally Accessible: June-October
Facility Type: Mountain Bike Trail

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything.
At first glance, we thought these Federico Primiceri Pacman Earrings ($10,400) were amazing. And so they would have been, if we'd been able to buy them for twenty bucks or so. But the idea of spending five figures for an accessory that is, at best, a goofy conversation starter is beyond absurd to us.
At least you'd know immediately that the idiot wearing these was an idiot. Or whatever sugar daddy bought them. Or both.

The Juice returns for season No. 6! It's almost eligible for free-agency! Stop by daily for news from the action, along with great photos, stats, video highlights and more.
With seagulls circling like buzzards in extra innings at AT&T Park on Monday night, outfielder Will Venable kept the San Diego Padres hopes alive for a seventh straight victory.
Venable's incredible diving catch on the warning track in center with his back to the infield — reminiscent of Jim Edmonds at his best — robbed Juan Perez of a certain game-ending hit and allowed the Padres more time to take the lead and beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 in 13 innings. The look of disbelief and disappointment on Perez's face, along with exasperation in the body language of Brandon Belt as he ran toward home, said it all. And then Giants manager Bruce Bochy, via MLB.com, said more:
"It was one of the best catches I've seen to save a game. It's as simple as that. It's a game-saving catch."
Venable just shook the dirt out of his pants as he came off the field.
Pitchers bunting: Often, the act is cause for comedy or pain, but pitcher Andrew Cashner laid down a perfect bunt single with runners at the corners to put the Padres ahead in the 13th. The Padres had run out of players, manager Bud Black said, but Cashner is 5 for 18 this season at the plate.
"That was pretty cool," Cashner said, beaming. "I've never had a game-winning RBI before."
Even guys with big craniums make mistakes: Bochy said he messed up a double-switch after the Padres had taken the lead. Bochy had intended to bring in Buster Posey to lead off the bottom of the 13th, but mistakenly put him in the seventh hole. The Giants didn't get to him.
Braves 2, Mets 1: Dillon Gee was two outs from closing a shutout, but Freddie Freeman said hang on a second:
Phillies 5, Nationals 4: A good teammate, Domonic Brown saved Jonathan Papelbon's bacon with some two-out action.
Marlins 3, Diamondbacks 2: Make that "Giancarlo Stanton 3, D-backs 2." He hit two home runs and the Fish finished with three hits, and it was enough.
Tigers 5, Orioles 1: Max Scherzer is 10-0 and "at the top of his game, pretty much," manager Jim Leyland said. Baltimore's run came on Chris Davis' 24th home run.
Adam Rosales of the A's and Jurickson Profar of the Rangers make a chain gang to save Harry Bailey after he fell …
Rangers 8, Athletics 7: Not only is Texas's six-game losing streak over, but the A's got to change into their street clothes without raw sewage bubbling up from the bathroom drains. So everyone wins.
Reds 4, Pirates 1: Zack Cozart hit one of the four solo homers for the Reds, who are 15 over .500.
Royals 2, Indians 1: A winning run that scores on a wild pitch are tough to stomach. The pitch was in the dirt, but catcher Carlos Santana let it pass through the five-hole.
Cardinals 5, Cubs 2: Very patient of Shelby Miller to wait out a rain delay of nearly two hours, though he left the game after five innings because of leg cramps. He forgot to water himself! After collecting two more hits, Yadier Molina leads the league in hitting at .355.
White Sox 4, Astros 2: The 'Stros were four innings away from pulling off a four-game sweep, but a four-run sixth saved the White Stockings.
Angels 11, Mariners 3: Halos get 21 hits, Albert Pujols gets four of 'em.
Blue Jays 2, Rockies 0: Nice effort by Josh Johnson after taking extra time to let a blister heal.
''I messed up the double switch. I got distracted. I was out there arguing and I totally brain-cramped on that. Once I said it wrong, I was done. I knew that. That's a first. I probably should have stepped back and thought a little bit. ... Once I called it wrong I can't take it back. Got distracted, you're upset a little bit, that shouldn't happen but it did.''
— Bruce Bochy
Dom Brown enjoys his first walkoff moment.
• After striking out 10 over 7 1/3 scoreless innings, Johnson lowered his ERA from 5.40 to 4.38.
• The Royals moved into second place in the AL Central after winning for the 11th time in 13 games.
• Dan Haren of the Nationals has a 6.22 ERA in seven starts since May 9.

MIDI.lua - Reading, writing and manipulating MIDI data
local MIDI = require 'MIDI'
local my_score = { 96, -- ticks per beat { -- first track {'patch_change', 0, 1, 8}, {'note', 5, 96, 1, 25, 98}, {'note', 101, 96, 1, 29, 98}, }, -- end of first track }
-- Going through a score within a Lua program... channels = {[2]=true, [3]=true, [5]=true, [8]=true, [13]=true} for itrack = 2,#my_score do -- skip 1st element, which is ticks for k,event in ipairs(my_score[itrack]) do if event[1] == 'note' then -- for example, do something to all notes end -- to work on events in only particular channels... channelindex = MIDI.Event2channelindex[event[1]] if channelindex and channels[event[channelindex]] then -- do something to channels 2,3,5,8 and 13 end end end
local midifile = assert(io.open('f.mid','w')) midifile:write(MIDI.score2midi(my_score)) midifile:close()
This module offers functions: concatenate_scores(), grep(), merge_scores(), mix_opus_tracks(), mix_scores(), midi2opus(), midi2score(), opus2midi(), opus2score(), play_score(), score2midi(), score2opus(), score2stats(), score_type(), segment(), timeshift() and to_millisecs(), where "midi" means the MIDI-file bytes (as can be put in a .mid file, or piped into aplaymidi), and opus and score are list-structures as inspired by Sean Burke's MIDI-Perl CPAN module.
The opus is a direct translation of the midi-file-events (see opus2midi()), where the times are delta-times, in ticks, since the previous event:
{'note_on', dtime, channel, note, velocity} -- in an opus {'note_off', dtime, channel, note, velocity} -- in an opus
The score is more human-centric (see score2opus()); it uses absolute times, and combines the separate note_on and note_off events into one "note" event, with a duration:
{'note', start_time, duration, channel, note, velocity} -- in a score
MIDI.lua is a call-compatible translation into Lua of the Python module
see www.pjb.com.au/midi/MIDI.html
concatenate_scores(), grep(), merge_scores(), mix_opus_tracks(), mix_scores(), midi2opus(), midi2score(), opus2midi(), opus2score(), play_score(), score2midi(), score2opus(), score2stats(), score_type(), segment(), timeshift() and to_millisecs()
Concatenates an array of scores into one score. If the scores differ in their ticks parameter, they will all get converted to millisecond-tick format.
Returns a score containing only the channels specified. (It also works on an opus, but because of the incremental times the result will usually be useless.) The second parameter is an array of the wanted channel numbers, for example:
channels = {0, 4,}
Merges an array of scores into one score. A merged score comprises all of the tracks from all of the input scores; un-merging is possible by selecting just some of the tracks. If the scores differ in their ticks parameter, they will all get converted to millisecond-tick format. merge_scores attempts to resolve channel-conflicts, but there are of course only 15 available channels...
Mixes an array of tracks into one track. A mixed track cannot be un-mixed. It is assumed that the tracks share the same ticks parameter and the same tempo. Mixing score-tracks is trivial (just insert all events into one array). Mixing opus-tracks is only slightly harder, but it's common enough that a dedicated function is useful.
Mixes an array of scores into one one-track score. A mixed score cannot be un-mixed. Hopefully the scores have no undesirable channel conflicts between them... If the scores differ in their ticks parameter, they will all get converted to millisecond-tick format.
Translates MIDI into a score with one beat per second and one tick per millisecond, using midi2opus() then to_millisecs() then opus2score()
Translates MIDI into an opus. For a description of the opus format, see opus2midi().
Translates MIDI into a score, using midi2opus() then opus2score()
The argument is an array: the first item in the list is the ticks parameter, the others are the tracks. Each track is an array of midi-events, and each event is itself an array; see EVENTS below. opus2midi() returns a string of the MIDI, which can then be written to a .mid file, or to stdout.
local MIDI = require 'MIDI' my_opus = { 96, -- MIDI-ticks per beat { -- first track: {'patch_change', 0, 1, 8}, -- and these are the events... {'set_tempo', 0, 750000}, -- microseconds per beat {'note_on', 5, 1, 25, 96}, {'note_off', 96, 1, 25, 0}, {'note_on', 0, 1, 29, 96}, {'note_off', 96, 1, 29, 0}, }, -- end of first track } local my_midi = MIDI.opus2midi(my_opus) io.write(my_midi) -- can be saved in o.mid or piped into "aplaymidi -"
Converts the "opus" to a "score".
For a description of the opus and score formats,
see opus2midi()
and score2opus().
The score track is returned sorted by the end-times of the notes, so if you need it sorted by their start-times you have to do that yourself:
table.sort(score[itrack], function (e1,e2) return e1[2]<e2[2] end)
Converts the score to midi, and feeds it into 'aplaymidi -'
If Lua's posix module is installed, the aplaymidi process will run in the background.
Returns a string, either 'opus' or 'score' or ''
Translates a score into MIDI, using score2opus() then opus2midi()
The argument is an array: the first item in the list is the ticks
parameter, the others are the tracks. Each track is an array
of score-events, and each event is itself an array.
score2opus() returns an array specifying the equivalent opus.
A score-event is similar to an opus-event
(see above),
except that in a score:
1) all times are expressed as an absolute number of ticks from the track's start time
2) the pairs of 'note_on' and 'note_off' events in an opus are abstracted into a single 'note' event
{'note', start_time, duration, channel, pitch, velocity} my_score = { 96, { -- first track {'patch_change', 0, 1, 8}, {'note', 5, 96, 1, 25, 98}, {'note', 101, 96, 1, 29, 98}, }, -- end of first track } my_opus = score2opus(my_score)
Returns a table of some basic stats about the score, like:
bank_select (array of 2-element arrays {msb,lsb}), channels_by_track (table, by track, of arrays), channels_total (array), general_midi_mode (array), ntracks, nticks, num_notes_by_channel (table of numbers), patch_changes_by_track (table of tables), patch_changes_total (array), percussion (a dictionary histogram of channel-9 events), pitches (dict histogram of pitches on channels other than 9), pitch_range_by_track (table, by track, of two-member-arrays), pitch_range_sum (sum over tracks of the pitch_ranges)
Returns a score which is a segment of the one supplied as the argument, beginning at "start_time" ticks and ending at "end_time" ticks (or at the end if "end_time" is not supplied). If the array "tracks" is specified, only those tracks will be returned.
The current state at the start of the segment, of the tempo, the patches and the controllers is noted, and these settings are added in at the beginning of the returned segment, so that it sounds the same.
Returns a score shifted in time by "shift" ticks, or shifted so that the first event starts at "start_time" ticks.
If "from_time" is specified, only those events in the score that begin after it are shifted. If "start_time" is less than "from_time" (or "shift" is negative), then the intermediate notes are deleted, though patch-change events are preserved.
If "tracks" are specified, then only those tracks (0 to 15) get shifted. "tracks" should be an array.
It is deprecated to specify both "shift" and "start_time". If this does happen, timeshift() will print a warning to stderr and ignore the "shift" argument.
If "shift" is negative and sufficiently large that it would leave some event with a negative tick-value, then the score is shifted so that the first event occurs at time 0. This also occurs if "start_time" is negative, and is also the default if neither "shift" nor "start_time" are specified.
Recallibrates all the times in an opus to use one beat per second and one tick per millisecond. This makes it hard to retrieve any information about beats or barlines, but it does make it easy to mix different scores together.
The opus is a direct translation of the midi-file-events, where the times are delta-times, in ticks, since the previous event.
{'note_on', dtime, channel, note, velocity} -- in an opus {'note_off', dtime, channel, note, velocity} -- in an opus
The score is more human-centric; it uses absolute times, and combines the separate note_on and note_off events into one "note" event, with a duration:
{'note', start_time, duration, channel, note, velocity} -- in a score
Events (in an opus structure):
{'note_off', dtime, channel, note, velocity} -- in an opus {'note_on', dtime, channel, note, velocity} -- in an opus {'key_after_touch', dtime, channel, note, velocity} {'control_change', dtime, channel, controller(0-127), value(0-127)} {'patch_change', dtime, channel, patch} {'channel_after_touch', dtime, channel, velocity} {'pitch_wheel_change', dtime, channel, pitch_wheel} {'text_event', dtime, text} {'copyright_text_event', dtime, text} {'track_name', dtime, text} {'instrument_name', dtime, text} {'lyric', dtime, text} {'marker', dtime, text} {'cue_point', dtime, text} {'text_event_08', dtime, text} {'text_event_09', dtime, text} {'text_event_0a', dtime, text} {'text_event_0b', dtime, text} {'text_event_0c', dtime, text} {'text_event_0d', dtime, text} {'text_event_0e', dtime, text} {'text_event_0f', dtime, text} {'end_track', dtime} {'set_tempo', dtime, tempo} {'smpte_offset', dtime, hr, mn, se, fr, ff} {'time_signature', dtime, nn, dd, cc, bb} {'key_signature', dtime, sf, mi} {'sequencer_specific', dtime, raw} {'raw_meta_event', dtime, command(0-255), raw} {'sysex_f0', dtime, raw} {'sysex_f7', dtime, raw} {'song_position', dtime, song_pos} {'song_select', dtime, song_number} {'tune_request', dtime}
channel = a value 0 to 15 controller = 0 to 127 (see www.pjb.com.au/muscript/gm.html#cc) dtime = time measured in ticks, 0 to 268435455 velocity = a value 0 (soft) to 127 (loud) note = a value 0 to 127 (middle-C is 60) patch = 0 to 127 (see www.pjb.com.au/muscript/gm.html ) pitch_wheel = a value -8192 to 8191 (\x1FFF) raw = 0 or more bytes of binary data (for sysex events see below) sequence_number = a value 0 to 65,535 (\xFFFF) song_pos = a value 0 to 16,383 (\x3FFF) song_number = a value 0 to 127 tempo = microseconds per crochet (quarter-note), 0 to 16777215 text = a string of 0 or more bytes of ASCII text ticks = the number of ticks per crochet (quarter-note)
In sysex_f0 events, the raw data must not start with a \xF0
byte, since this gets added automatically;
but it must end with an explicit \xF7 byte !
In the very unlikely case that you ever need to split sysex data into one sysex_f0 followed by one or more sysex_f7s, then only the last of those sysex_f7 events must end with the explicit \xF7 byte (again, the raw data of individual sysex_f7 events must not start with any \xF7 byte, since this gets added automatically).
In this table the index is the patch-number (0 to 127), and the value is its corresponding General-MIDI Patch (on Channels other than 9). See: www.pjb.com.au/muscript/gm.html#patch
In this table the index is the note-number (35 to 81), and the value is its corresponding General-MIDI Percussion instrument (on Channel 9). See: www.pjb.com.au/muscript/gm.html#perc
In this table the index is the event-name (see EVENTS), and the value is the position within the event-array at which the Channel-number occurs. It is very useful for manipulating particular channels within a score (see SYNOPSIS)

I'll Beat You With 2 Hands Behind My Back
The Battle of Chavez Ravine continues later today, and the Angels will be minus Vlad Guerrero and might as well give Garret Anderson another day off since he's never hit Derek Lowe in the past. Let's see if the team from Anaheim with the P.O. box in L.A. uses this lineup on Sunday... (with their career marks versus Lowe)
Figgins... 2 for 6, 1 RBI
Erstad.... 7 for 23, 2 RBI
Curtis Pride... 2 for 6, 1 HR, 3 RBI
Finley... 1 for 1 with a grand slam
Rivera... 2 for 6
Cabrera... 1 for 2, 1 RBI
B Molina... 4 for 8, 2 RBI
Kennedy... 8 for 14, 2 RBI, 3 stolen bases
(Works out to .409 with 15 RBI)
Since left-handed hitters are batting almost 80 points higher than are right-handed batters against Lowe, Rivera could find himself on the bench in favor of Jeff DaVanon or Dallas McPherson.

Unless you are a rich, high-profile person, and even if you are, doctors are taught to look after you the way one is taught to bake. It's a formula. You follow certain actions in a particular order—like a recipe—and, assuming you followed the instructions correctly, you get certain reactions—like a golden brown cake.
In my mind, there are two problems with the way some doctors practice, especially in areas that are systemic (as opposed to a cut that needs stitches or a broken bone that needs to be re-set). And I don't totally blame the doctors themselves as insurance companies limit the amount of time they can spend with each patient as well as the space they have to think for themselves.
1. The formula is generally one-size-fits-all and human beings are not. In the same way that our metabolism, blood pressure, weight, muscle mass differ, even in families, our bodies heal differently and absorb and activate medications differently and feel pain differently.
I was at a party some months' ago and talking to a young doctor who worked for an HMO where he ended up treating a lot of Latino patients. He said, "What people are talking about more and more are the differences in ethnicities and how they needed to be treated." You already know that your ethnicity affects your hair and skin color and texture; obviously, it affects how your internal organs operate as well.
2. The formula only treats one piece of problem. So you can bake a perfect cake but what about the frosting and the decoration and the rest of the party. The fact is that our bodies are all connected so what happens in your liver can affect your skin. It's one of those things that they used to believe in ancient times (where women had their left nostril pierced originally because it was meant to make childbirth less painful—can't tell you if it works because I didn't pay attention when my nose was pierced and got it on the right side instead. Still wondering why the piercing person didn't ask why I wanted the wrong side 'til after it was finished.)
But let's say it's a day or two or a week later and you've done your research and you've decided you like and trust the doctor and you're checking into the hospital.
Or let's say it's whenever the doctor tells you to come and you're too scared to do more research.
The hospital is a big place. This is how to make it feel small and you feel loved.
How to Shrink Your Hospital
Your MOOD
One of my best friends, Sancta, who is a beautiful writer herself and has been in the hospital way too many times says this, "Be an optimistic fatalist." You know you have to do it. Be brave and walk in. Keep in mind that it will all go well. Speak to your angels and the Divine source and ask them to keep you safe.
Be appreciative and be kind to all the people who help you there. It's a hard job looking after sick people, it's emotionally draining. If you're in a cancer hospital, it can be devastating.
Pretend that you are actually a celebrity incognito or a princess (not the Lindsay Lohan kind, think Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday). Be elegant, generous and kind, behave with the grace of a princess and people will treat you like one.
Thank people.
Your NURSES
Make friends with all of your nurses. Learn their names if you can. Ask them how they are. You'd be surprised how rarely anyone asks a nurse how she/he is. Nurses work crazy long hours and they are often overwhelmed. They leave their kids for great stretches of time and rarely get enough sleep. They deserve some attention and you can end up having a good conversation that can distract you from your own drama.
A good relationship with your nurse is your key to a bearable stay in the hospital. They are the ones who can get you a vase for the flowers or can get you a painkiller when something is throbbing and all the doctors have gone home. They can make concessions for you. I had a lovely nurse who switched all the generic pictures in my room with the ones in the hallway and other rooms, because I wanted to look at seascapes for three days rather than close-ups of flowers.

New pop duo Wrathschild premiered the music video for its debut single "Fall into Love" on Friday (April 11). In the dreamy clip, Simon Curtis and Wolfy splash the city with gorgeous hues of color.
"Fall into Love" is Wrathschild's debut single. Indie pop singers Simon Curtis and Wolfy, a.k.a. Ro Danishei, make up the new pop duo. They first premiered the track last month. Amidst glowing electro-pop production, Curtis and Danishei long for an ideal romance on "Fall into Love." "I want the real thing just like an '80s movie," the two artists sing in unison.
The music video for "Fall into Love" premiered this week and it was directed by JB Ghuman Jr. Curtis and Danishei arrive in a blaze of neon color with their space-themed clip. The two singers run around the city while singing the electro-pop track. Curtis rocks an out-of-this-world onesie and Danishei dons a celestial body suit for the magical clip. They hit up an arcade, fly kites on the beach and hitch a ride with a tribal spaceman. "Fall into Love" is a real treat on the ears and Wrathschild rightfully give the eyes a visual feast with their colorful concoction of a video.
"Fall into Love" is now on iTunes. Wrathschild is already recording a follow-up single, which will be released later this year.

Former barrister and journalist Andrew Martin has won the Ellis Peters Award for his mystery set during the First World War
Andrew Martin's seventh novel about railway detective Jim Stringer has won the £3,000 Ellis Peters Award for historical fiction, given by the Crime Writers Assocation.
The Somme Stations is set during the First World War and Stringer and his unit have taken on the dangerous task of driving the trains taking munitions to the front - while an investigation into a killing that occurred before the war unravels.
The judges praised the "winning synthesis of period atmosphere, intriguing plotting and a passion for steam railways".
The Somme Stations is published by Faber.

Is there any treatment for Fabry disease?
Enzyme replacement may be effective in slowing the progression of the disease. The pain in the hands and feet usually responds to anticonvulsants such as phenytoin (Dilantin) and carbamazepine (Tegretol, Tegretol XR , Equetro, Carbatrol). Gastrointestinal hyperactivity may be treated with metoclopramide (Reglan, Octamide, Maxolon). Some individuals may require dialysis or kidney transplantation.
What is the prognosis for Fabry disease?
Patients with Fabry disease often survive into adulthood but are at increase risk of strokes, heart attack and heart disease, and kidney failure.
What research is being done on Fabry disease?
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a component of the National Institutes of Health, conducts and supports research to find ways to treat and prevent lipid storage diseases such as Fabry disease. This research includes clinical studies by the NINDS Developmental and Metabolic Neurology Branch:http://www.ninds.nih.gov/find_people/labs/61.htm.

It's a new year, and with it will come some embarrassing moments while boating, whether its mistakes we've made or situations we encounter, whether its something that has happened to us in the past or maybe something we will experience in the future, we all have had them and always will.
Boat US has an article posted on its website that I found interesting this first full week of the new year, and while their list of ways to avoid these situations is helpful, I thought maybe a personal experience or two may prove helpful to others.
According to the story on the Boat US website, "Landlubbers make resolutions for the New Year. Recreational boaters, however, will usher in 2014 wishing for good fishing, wind in the sail, or a full tank of fuel. But that's not all that sometimes happens on the water. Murphy and his "law" make appearances. "It's hard to track some of these things, because no one likes to admit it," said BoatUS Vice President Public Affairs Scott Croft. "But based on past experience, we know some of these boating 'moments' will happen to boat owners in the New Year, so we've gathered some tools and tips to avoid these troubles."
Long ago I resolved to never repeat some of my most outrageous embarrassing moments, and so far so good for most of them.
The first would be the day I decided I was experienced enough to sail into the mooring field and catch my mooring. Problem being that as I came into the cadre of boats in our mooring field the wind cycled a bit more to the north, the boom came around, I panicked and spun around to exit before I got into a more populated area, trouble began when the jib jibbed and puff of wind filled the sail on a heading straight for another boat. I tried steering directly into the wind to kill the sails, stalled temporarily, but while I was trying to drop the main, the jib caught the wind once again, and this time it was too late, my bow was heading directly amidships of an unknown members boat. I attempted to fend off said boat by running up to the bow and pushing off, which I did, but not until the other captain shot out from his cabin screaming, "What the........" My bow did knock into the side of the other boat, but gently, I fumbled for an explanation as he accused me of being drunk. I kept apologizing as I was trying to push off. He noticed my young son was aboard with me, which tempered the situation some. He grumbled something, as I drifted past his stern.
I made it to a clear area, dropped the Jib, and put the motor on. Since then I have learned how to sail onto my mooring in light air, but ever since then I have been super cautious and motored in more often than not.
The other embarrassment I intend on keeping myself from repeating is falling overboard, for no good reason at all. One day I was at the club early in the season, and I noticed a few sticks on the small roof over the cockpit of our work barge. They weren't especially hard to reach from a standing position on the deck, but I decided to step up on the railing that runs along the side of the barge. After clearing the debris off the roof I went to step down to the deck, completely lost my balance and started falling towards the back of the boat, where there was a locker and the outboard motor and mount. Knowing it was going to hurt, I pushed off with the one foot still on the railing, and took a nosedive into about 5 feet of cold water. It was only the beginning of april and it was freezing. My wallet, phone, everything soaked.
Having so spare clothing, I trudged up to the clubhouse, stripped all but naked, started a fire in the fireplace, and hung out till my clothes were dry enough to put back on, all of the contents of my wallet on the table.
Luckily nobody was there to see it, and if I have my druthers, it will never happen again!

I like the kind of dal they make at the dhabas. This recipe of dal is a dhaba style dal. I came across this recipe in a recipe book. I have altered it a little by using 2 ingredients, namely cumin seeds and asfaoetida.
This dal recipe is made from tuvar dal – also known as arhar dal or yellow lentils and chana dal – also known as gram dal or spilt bengal gram. You can also use urad dal along with the other two dals. I did not have urad dal so I have not used it. Its an easy method. In the original recipe, though the dals were boiled in an open pan. I have used pressure cooker as it saves time and fuel.
This Dhaba dal goes well with roti, parathas, jeera rice or with steamed rice and and sliced onions.
If you are looking for more dal recipes then do check dal tadka, dal fry, chana dal fry, masoor dal and moong dal tadka.
Dhaba Dal Recipe Details Below:
- ½ cup arhar dal
- ¼ cup chana dal
- 1 chopped onion
- 2 chopped tomatoes
- 2-3 tsp chopped garlic/lahsun – add more if you like the taste of garlic
- ¼ tsp garam masala powder
- ½ tsp chilly powder
- ½ tsp turmeric powder/haldi
- ½ tsp cumin seeds/jeera
- a pinch of asafoetida/hing
- salt as per taste
- 1 tbsp ghee or oil
- 4 cups water for cooking the arhar dal
- Clean and wash the dals/lentils.
- You can also soak the dals in water for 30-45 minutes.
- Boil the dals with the garam masala powder, chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt in the pressure cooker till 1 whistle.
- In the meantime, in a shallow frying pan, take some oil/ghee.
- Add the cumin seeds. Once they fry add the asafoetida.
- Add the chopped onions. Fry them till they become transparent.
- Then add the chopped garlic.
- Once the garlic is sauted, then add the chopped tomatoes.
- Fry till the tomatoes become soft and mushy.
- Now open the cooker and transfer the contents of the pan to the dal.
- Check to see if the water content is right.
- If not, you can add more of hot water to the dal.
- Now you have the option of cooking the dal in the pressure cooker or cooking it openly. In the pressure cooker, the dal will get cooked in 2-3 whistles.
- If you cook it in the open, it will take 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the yellow dhaba style dal with jeera rice or rotis, parathas and sliced onions. This dhabe ki dal recipe is yummy.

Not that I'd ever buy a VW…
June 3rd, 2009 2 comments
For whatever reason, probably my own coffee habits, I was remembering a VW commercial from back in the day. Some girl that owns a coffee place running around delivering things with her golf. At the end she says "I've got to cut back on the caffeine", which I always find myself saying to myself at around 2 in the afternoon. So I found it on youtube for kicks, and was surprised when I started watching it. I actually had to hunt down some info and see if my hunch was right. It was. If you watch NCIS, you'll know it when you see it. The ironing is delicious.

The Tennessee House of Representatives has passed its own version of a so-called "wine in grocery stores" bill that could allow for the sale of wine in grocery stores in Tennessee provided that local communities agree to those sales in a referendum. The referendum provision is one of several clauses in the legislation that are seen as compromises to appease the liquor store lobby, which fears that state licensed liquor stores that held a monopoly on the sale of wine for years in the volunteer State will actually have to compete for the wine business.
In a heated debate on the House floor yesterday that lasted over an hour as part of a Thursday sitting of the House that ran over two and a half hours on the last day of the week that the body normally sits, several opponents of the bill called it "crony capitalism" that was being passed to appeal to "special interests," but Representative Ryan Haynes (R-Knoxville) said that many of the opponents of selling wine in grocery stores in Tennessee had other motivations aside from protecting the so-called "mom and pop" businesses of the State licensed liquor stores, whose monopoly on wine sales was assured during the many decades of Democratic rule in Nashville by one of the most powerful and entrenched lobbies on Capitol Hill. "Some of the individuals saying that wouldn't vote for the alcohol bills anyway, they'd take us back to prohibition if they could," Haynes told WATE-TV and other media.
The bill ended up passing the House by a wide margin despite the long debate, pleasing its prime sponsor, Rep. Jon Lundberg (R-Bristol).

I realise there is an older thread on the very subject but that seems to be pretty dead.
I just got a Dell Studio XPS 1645 laptop and the fan noise and overheating is pretty ridiculous. This is actually a well known problem with the laptop that is apparently solved with the combination of a BIOS update and the purchase of their 130w charger. I plan on buying this charger as soon as possible, however I've noticed that since installing Ubuntu the fan noise has became more permanent and the overheating is quite a bit worse too. I've had to turn it off twice to let it cool down for an hour or so because it starts seriously affecting the performance. It makes watching things, listening to music or leaving the laptop on while I sleep a real pain.
If anyone has some new information on this issue or could help out in anyway at all I'd be very grateful. Thanks.
EDIT: I installed Windows to see if the problem was worsened by Ubuntu and sadly it seems so. It's still quite noisy but the temperatures are staying at a steady, much lower rate. Staying on Windows is something I'd definitely prefer not to do.

|Yoga Teacher Training
Becoming a Yoga Teacher
Becoming a yoga teacher is a big step forward in your experience of yoga.
If you want to learn a topic – then teach it.
Being able to share yoga with friends, family and clients is rewarding in many ways. Whether you are interested primarily in your own personal development or becoming a yoga teacher, we have a range of courses in which you can achieve both.
All of our courses have been developed in response to the enthusiasm of our students wanting to learn, practice, live and teach the science of yoga. Please read through the information provided and we encourage you to talk to us or any of our graduates with further queries.
Our Courses
Why Teacher Training?
Yoga and Yoga Teaching
Yoga is a life-long journey of discovery and we believe that it is much more than a system of physical development. We teach in a holistic way which emcompasses the deeper, more subtle aspects of yoga. Whilst definitely emphasising the physical body, our system also specifically works with the breath, the life-energy and the mind in order to help bring about a balanced state of wellbeing, vitality and a deeper attunement with our true inner-selves.
Yoga is a very broad science. You learn a systematic approach to classical yoga enabling you to teach for the whole personality. From the vast range of practices learnt, you can creatively and intuitively structure classes and programmes for your students individual and general needs.
For those of you inspired to make a deeper study of yoga we are committed to providing a complete system of training which guides students in a progressive and systematic way to develop a strong personal yoga practice and to become confident and capable to teach from beginners to advanced. We offer several courses for this and you can study to the level you so desire, within your own commitments and needs.
There is no requirement to do all of our teacher training courses, especially if you are doing it more for personal development. However, if you are wanting yoga to be your profession, we advise that you do complete all of them over a 2 – 5 year period.
How Our Teacher Training Courses Work
The courses train you to teach a complete system of yoga postures, breathing, relaxation and meditation.
Our yoga syllabus is taught in three levels:
Level 1: beginner to intermediate
Level 2: intermediate to advanced
Level 3: advanced
Each level takes you to a higher standard of proficiency. Level 1 is suitable for absolute beginners and starts with simple practices. By the end of Level 1 you will have built a firm foundation based on experience and understanding. This experience gives you the grounding to teach with confidence.
The Level 1 and 2 in particular are not just a weekend course per month, but rather six months of daily learning and growing. The workshop sessions, home practice and assignments are all part of this course and are all aspects of receiving your Teacher Training Certificate.
Each workshop session involves group dynamics and a specific group of postures; we also teach you pranayama, relaxation (yoga nidra) and meditation in a systematic way. Commitment to the weekend workshops and daily practice is essential. If for unavoidable reasons you are unable to attend one of the days, extra tuition is necessary for completion of the course and is not included in the course fee.
Please note: there are no exams in our teacher training courses. There are assignments that we mark and give you feedback, but no tests. There is no way to fail any of the teacher training courses!
Upskilling and Support
Extra yogic courses and workshops are conducted throughout the year providing ongoing training, inspiration and deeper knowledge within specific areas (e.g. back care, pranayama, chakras, meditation, etc.) Most workshops and retreats are discounted for Ashram Yoga trainees or teachers. There are also regular teacher forums to swap ideas, information and learn new ways and methods of teaching from one another, Ashram Yoga teachers or guest teachers.
Teacher Training with Ashram Yoga
The beginnings of Ashram Yoga may be traced back to 1980 when Swami Shantimurti Saraswati came to New Zealand to teach yoga. Since these early days, we have worked ceaselessly for the development of yoga both within New Zealand and overseas.
Ashram Yoga's unique teaching style is based on traditional yoga but also includes the senior instructors' many years of experience of teaching yoga. We have developed a comprehensive, thorough and effective set of teachings. The range of practices we present are vast and taught from absolute beginners through to becoming an advance yoga instructor.
The range of practices we present are vast and taught from absolute beginners onwards. Teacher trainees are encouraged to incorporate their own experiences of yoga into the teachings. We also teach you how to apply yoga practices to any type of student, according to the level of the course you are studying.

Hi everyone, I have just been to view a lovely Welsh Sec D gelding for the 2nd time and Subject to vetting I'm very serious about buying him. My biggest concern is that he has always been turned out in a seperate paddock, he has other horses around him so he has company but he has never mixed with others in the same field. I will be keeping him at my friends private yard, she has two paddocks and likes to alternate between the two, but has said that she would section off a part for him. I would like him to mix with her two geldings as they are both placid types, but I'm worried that he might really hurt one of them. Does anyone have any experience of a horse who likes his own space or any advice on how to approach this one.

Hi, Id fence him seperately until you get to know him, and he has said hello to the others over the fence. Just make sure if they lift a leg up they wont get tangled, so mite be worth watching them until they settle down. Then when he seems fine with them over the fence (this may take a week or so) then put him in a large area with the least dominant horse, id just leave them for a bit, not all day. Then gradually increase the time, then change to the other horse. Then when he has met both put him in with both horses. When putting him with one make sure their is hay/ grass available in more then two places so there arent fights over it. xx

as long as theyve got grass and water they shouldnt have anyhting to fight over (unless theres a real personality clash,unlikely if the other 2 are placid) ive always just turned shaky out instantly (after isolation) and although theres been kicks and bites i think he would be worse if he could see other horses but not play, and he'd prob get himslef hurt on the fencing, but its down to the horse.
could u maybe turn them out together for an hour or so and stay to watch?(take a picnic-its only january!!lol!) they might settle quickly in which case u could prob leave him, or if they dont settle take him out and do the same again another day until they do settle. is this the one who was gelded late??(sorry,just being nosy!)

When I first got my old pony Magic he had lived on his own for years, we then had to move him as the place was being sold! I was a bit worried about him mixing with the others, he was a rig and very very dominant but actually everything was fine! Lots of sqealing and running around but fine! (Other than he wouldn't let the other owners catch their horses - he was a bit of a beast!) Horses are herd animals they are happiest in groups and they instinctively know that they have to stick together, injury free to stay alive so they rarely fight as it wouldn't achieve anything. In my experience they do ther intial squealing and stuff while your watching but generally they sort out whose who and whos boss when no-body is around! I agree you shoudl let them get to know each other over a fence for a day or so and then introduce him to the least dominant horse 1st. Once they have settled you can strat introducing more horses, again in leadership order so the original boss goes in last! Try not to worry though I have never had any issues introducing horses to each other so I'm sure it will be fine! Good luck with the vetting, let us know how it goes!

Just doing what has been said will be good.
Make sure you spend a lot of time with him though so he doesnt become too attatched. My TB was in with about 14 horses and was fine being taken away from them all for a while but when i got him home and he just had one other horse he became a nightmare and cant be left alone too long or hell hurt himself and go mad.

So glad you have found another horsey to give ur love to. I would agree with everyone else about seperate to start to get them used to seeing and hearing each other then let them in together and see. Lots of charging about is bound to ensue but it may only last 5 min, if not and he wont settle then at least you know. nat x

Section D's are amazing! Congratuations. Is there a reason he isn't normally in a field with others? I agree with everyone else. Section off part of a field and let him be introduced over the fence then maybe after a week let them in together but supervised. Three geldings really shouldn't be a problem though because they have no ladies to fight over. You must be very excited!
Hi everyone, thank you all so much for the great advice. In answer to your question Kirsty, he is'nt the one that was gelded late, he is 7 years old, 8 in June and was bred at the Glanteifi Stud in Wales, he has only had one home since then. The reason that his owner keeps her horses in seperate paddocks is because one got badly kicked and they found out that his leg was actually broken. She does'nt put back shoes on them either, so I can understand why she is so cautious. He is being vetted next week, so hopefully I can bring him home soon if all is well !
That's a very good reason to keep them separate! I have read so many stories about kicks and such where serious damage is done. Risky business! Make sure you take loads of pics and put them up for us to see him!
aww!fingers crossed for the vetting!!

Recently crowned NCAA wrestling champs Ed Ruth, Logan Stieber and David Taylor will be among the athletes representing the U.S. vs. World All-Stars in international freestyle competition as part of the Beat the Streets gala at New York's Times Square Wednesday, May 7, event sponsors announced Friday.
Other men's freestyle Team USA members for this event include Nahshon Garrett, Jimmy Kennedy, Jordan Oliver, Brent Metcalf, Jordan Burroughs, and Kyle Snyder. Helen Maroulis and Randi Miller will represent the US women's freestyle squad.
The event, held for the third time outdoors at Times Square, is designed to draw attention to the sport of wrestling, as well as to raise funds for the Beat the Streets organization, which supports over 140 youth development wrestling programs in New York City, serving nearly 3,000 student-athletes.
The fundraising elements of the event include availability of reserved seating in Times Square (though passers-by without tickets will also be able to watch), along with a gala event at Best Buy Theater at 1515 Broadway, which requires a ticket for admission. For event information or to purchase tickets in advance, visit the Beat the Streets website or call (212) 245-6570.
Team USA background, opponents
Three members of Team USA competing at Beat the Streets in Times Square won titles at the 2014 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Oklahoma City in March. Logan Stieber, who won his third national collegiate title for Ohio State, will be competing at 65 kilos/143 pounds vs. Canada's Haislan Garcia. David Taylor, Penn State's two-time NCAA champ at 165 pounds, will take on Yabrail Hasanov of Azerbaijan at 74 kilos/163 pounds… while his former Nittany Lions teammate Ed Ruth, that program's first three-time NCAA champ, will wrestle Spain's Taymuraz Friev at 86 kilos/189 pounds.
Other participants with individual NCAA titles include Jordan Oliver, two-time national champ for Oklahoma State vs. Boris Novachkov of Bulgaria at 65 kilos/143 lbs., and, in the same weight class, Brent Metcalf, University of Iowa two-time NCAA champ, going up against Russia's Magomed Kurbanaliev. At 74 kilos/163 lbs., Jordan Burroughs – 2012 Olympic gold medalist and two-time college champ for University of Nebraska – faces Atsamaz Sanakoev of Russia.
Other Team USA members include Nahshon Garrett, an NCAA All-American for Cornell University, who will take on Bulgaria's George Vangelov at 57 kilos/125.5 pounds; former University of Illinois All-American Jimmy Kennedy, vs. Aleksandr Bogomoev of Russia, at 61 kilos/134 pounds, and 18-year-old high school wrestler Kyle Snyder, grappling Russia's Khadjimurat Gatsalov at 97 kilos/213 pounds.
The opponents for the two U.S. women freestyle wrestlers on the card, Helen Maroulis of Rockville, Md. at 55 kilos/121 lbs. and Randi Miller of Colorado Springs, Colo. at 69 kilos/152 lbs. are yet to be announced.
Event history
This will be the fifth straight year in which a major international-style wrestling competition will be hosted as part of the Beat the Streets Gala activities. In 2010, an all-star challenge featuring top U.S. wrestlers was held on the aircraft career USS Intrepid moored on the west side of Manhattan. In 2011 and 2012, the event moved to Times Square. Last year, the event took on a new location -- Grand Central Terminal – and a new name, "Rumble on the Rails" – with dual meets featuring Team USA, Russia and Iran.

In the 05/2003 issue of Fliegerrevue, this was one of 12 new names listed as Chinese astronauts in training. The day before the scheduled launch of Shenzhou-5, China's first manned flight, he was named as the second finalist or back-up crew member for the flight. In his service as a PLAAF fighter pilot he had accumulated 1000 hours flight time. Selected in 2008 as prime crew of Shenzhou 7, and to be China's first astronaut to emerge from the spacecraft on a space walk.
Birth Place: Longjiang, Heilongjiang.
Status: Active.
Born: 1966.10.10.
Spaceflights: 1 .
Total time in space: 2.85 days.
The highly conservative mission plan was for Yang to remain in the Shenzhou re-entry capsule for the entire 21-hour mission, and not to enter the orbital module. He had two rest periods of three hours each, and was scheduled to eat once or twice meals of what was said to be a superior form of Chinese space food. Frequent communications sessions, including colour television links to the spacecraft, were made possible by China's four tracking ships deployed in the oceans of the world.
As the spacecraft was in its 21st orbit, the orbital module separated. It would stay in the 343 km orbit for a planned six-month military imaging reconnaissance mission. Retrofire was commanded via a tracking ship in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa. Shenzhou-5 landed only 4.8 km from the aim-point in Inner Mongolia with the parachute being sighted by the ground recovery forces prior to landing. Yang landed after 21 hours 23 minutes aloft.
