So here I am, a newly minted Sports Performance Professional. I have studied the excellent NASM material to enhance sports performance and am eager to apply my knowledge.
As I read and studied and thought about it, it struck me how applicable and modifiable those concepts are to every client. We all need to generate power in our lives at one point or other. The challenge in training is to stay on the right side of the line where the benefits of the exercises justify possible risks.
I had applied 'controlled unstable' environments throughout all my training. I saw it work, and now I see the underlying rationale why that is so. As with training for power, I try to apply the same concept.
My latest and dearest toys are sandbells which I have in ranges from 4 to 12 lbs. in 2 pound increments. Those are now happily flying across the studio. We slam, and we catch, and we bounce them off the Bosu. We work on grip strength by catching with one hand. Some of my clients are standing right in front of a massage table for a security blanket as they are catching a 4 lbs. sandbell. Others have the 10 lbs. one hurled towards them.
And the best part? It's fun, it's challenging, and it gives a great deal of satisfaction (after everybody has caught their breath including the trainer who gets thrown back to).
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and we will soon experience the triple H days of summer: hazy, hot and humid.
While a little warm is good, too much of it can be deadly. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke which claims lives every year.
Here is how you can recognize the warning signs of heat exhaustion (taken from the CDC website):
· Heavy sweating
· Weakness
· Cold, pale, and clammy skin
· Fast, weak pulse
· Nausea or vomiting
· Fainting
And this is what you should do immediately:
· Move to a cooler location.
· Lie down and loosen your clothing.
· Apply cool, wet cloths to as much of your body as possible.
· Sip water.
· If you have vomited and it continues, seek medical attention immediately.
If in doubt, call for emergency help.
"Stand up straight", "don't slouch"! Words of wisdom from mothers across continents, and right they are.
Whether you come to my MELT classes or are working with me one-on-one, the most often used phrases are 'neutral pelvis', 'shoulders relaxed', 'good form' and derivatives thereof. So why is good posture so important even if I disregard the fact that it looks a lot better?
A body in ideal alignment is a balanced body. The relationship in length between muscles is optimal, and movement is effortless because all the players know their role. The central nervous system is like a conductor, and just as in an orchestra, everybody must be well-tuned and know the score to create a harmonious performance.
If a body is out of alignment, then some parts have to work harder and still don't get it done right. The result is that some parts wear out sooner than others, and this can start a pain cycle that only perpetuates the problems and adds to them. Even though medical science has given us replacement parts and perfected the techniques to implant them, we would do a lot better looking after ourselves as well as if we were our own car.
Did you ever hear of anybody, who would change the tires on their car, not get them balanced but then take the car out on a 1,000 mile road trip with heavy cargo and a hanger? Me neither.
When I start my MELT classes, I describe the position of ideal alignment, and just about everybody raises their hand when asked whether they felt discrepancies. Soon into the class, those discrepancies diminish and sometimes disappear altogether, and my students walk out straighter and often in less pain than when they walked in. After having taught MELT for almost 5 years now, I see permanent improvements after just a few months with regular MELTing.
Aren't you worth it?
I have always loved ballet. Even though I never danced myself, classical ballet is my favorite dance art form; the more tutu the better. Living now in Raleigh, North Carolina, we have been so fortunate to having the professional Carolina Ballet since 1997. I had season tickets all those years, looking forward to every single performance.
Even the greater my pleasure when I recently had an opportunity to introduce some of the dancers to MELT.
While watching the performances and the performers, it was always quite obvious to me that all that grace that I admire so much is the result of rigorous training, and I was conscious of the fact that injuries are the inevitable by-product of such training.
Over the last 5 years of teaching MELT, I have seen enough of its beneficial results on many bodies that I knew that its positive effects could be felt equally by a professional dancer as by weekend warrior or somebody recovering after a hip or knee replacement surgery.
So it was not surprising to me on some level to hear the same comments about some of the MELT length exercises that I am used to hear from my more conventional class participants. The sensation of length beyond ordinary stretching which can only be described as 'hurting so good'.
What I absolutely had to admire, though, was the amazing ability of the dancers to take my verbal instructions and translate them into body movement. Those familiar with MELT know that the greatest impact is often made by the smallest changes in body position, and those require a great deal of body awareness. And while this is hardly unexpected, it is nonetheless astounding to watch.
Is it possible that a neat person is not a NEAT person? Absolutely.
So what on earth am I talking about? Here is what the National Institute on Health has to say:
"Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise. It ranges from the energy expended walking to work, typing, performing yard work, undertaking agricultural tasks and fidgeting. Even trivial physical activities increase metabolic rate substantially and it is the cumulative impact of a multitude of exothermic actions that culminate in an individual's daily NEAT. It is, therefore, not surprising that NEAT explains a vast majority of an individual's non-resting energy needs. Epidemiological studies highlight the importance of culture in promoting and quashing NEAT. Agricultural and manual workers have high NEAT, whereas wealth and industrialization appear to decrease NEAT. Physiological studies demonstrate, intriguingly, that NEAT is modulated with changes in energy balance; NEAT increases with overfeeding and decreases with underfeeding. Thus, NEAT could be a critical component in how we maintain our body weight and/or develop obesity or lose weight. The mechanism that regulates NEAT is unknown. However, hypothalamic factors have been identified that specifically and directly increase NEAT in animals. By understanding how NEAT is regulated we may come to appreciate that spontaneous physical activity is not spontaneous at all but carefully programmed."
So NEAT is all the moving we do when we are not formally exercising. Even for regular exercisers with 2 hours of exercise every day and 8 hours of sleep, that leaves 14 hours during which we can do nothing or a lot.
Based on information in an NASM publication, I developed a metabolic profile tracker that gives points per hour for activities. It gives -1 for sitting or lying down (except sleep; that gets a 0), 0 for standing, +1 for normal moving, +2 for a little strenuous activity such as housework or a light workout, +3 for strenuous activity such as intense gardening (riding lawnmower does not count) or a strenuous workout, and a +4 when you knock yourself out. It is very revealing to see the times when we hardly move at all. If you would like a copy of this form, please e-mail me at email@example.com.
So now let's all try to become a neat NEAT person!
By all appearances, spring has finally sprung. Even though the winter in Raleigh, NC, can hardly be called severe when compared to some other parts of the nation but it seemed to go on longer that it ought to have.
After taking a nice long walk with my dog just in a T-shirt, I came home happy, thirsty …. and a little tanned. At this point in my life, a sun tan is no longer on my priority list and thus I felt that I needed to remind myself (and anybody who cares to read this) what the Skin Cancer Foundation has to say on the subject of the sun and the need for sunscreen:
"Use a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher whenever you spend any time outdoors.
- This applies to all outdoor activities: athletics, shopping, picnicking, walking or jogging, gardening, even waiting for a bus.
- Use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day. For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
- Apply liberally and evenly to all exposed skin. The average adult in a bathing suit should use approximately one ounce of sunscreen per application. Not using enough will effectively reduce the product's SPF and the protection you get.
- Be sure to cover often-missed spots: lips, ears, around eyes, neck, scalp if hair is thinning, hands, and feet.
- Reapply at least every 2 hours, more often if some of the product may have been removed while swimming, sweating, or towel-drying.
- Choose a product that suits your skin and your activity. Sunscreens are available in lotion, gel, spray, cream, and stick forms. Some are labeled as water resistant, sweat proof, or especially for sports; as fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, or especially for sensitive skin or children."
Raleigh has its major snow storm of two inches with some ice following, and we all did what one does under those circumstances: stay home and hope that the power does not go out and that it gets warmer soon.
Our hopes were realized, and we are now gingerly walking around the icy patches left in neighborhood streets while all major roads are clear. Bright sunshine and temperatures around 55⁰ are working away on the rest of the ice and snow.
Since I had an entire day off yesterday AND I also recently got a new computer. This was the perfect day to re-install, modify and generally get acquainted with the new operating system. It also meant that I did what most of my clients do all day long: sit at a computer.
I use an exercise ball as a chair, and that is the way for me. I have a hard time sitting still, and a ball clearly accommodates that need to move. So as I bounced and shifted, it meant that my pelvis and lower back were never locked in any one position. Slouching is also rather difficult on a ball which means that I was sitting pretty much in good posture. I prefer a desktop over a laptop so that my screen and the keyboard are the right height for me.
With all that good setup, I still felt a need to get up and walk around, do something else for a while and went to my studio to MELT a few times in the course of the day. So by the end of the day, I was no worse for wear. Today, I will return to my normal use of a computer.
It gave me an appreciation, though, of the challenges of many people who have to stay at their desk all day long and can only take short breaks. Here is a link to a very interesting illustration to the long-term health hazards of sitting all day long http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/national/the-health-hazards-of-sitting/750/.
Sitting is the new smoking.
Yesterday afternoon marked the first occurrence of a MELT Length and Strength small group class which was dedicated from the onset as such.
I had been wrestling with the question on how to implement such a format into a group setting. One-on-one is easy, and I had done that long enough. There are a few MELT Strength moves which I had interspersed into my regular class, and then there were those very few occasions when the number of participants was not too great, and they were all pro-MELTers so that I could introduce the greater challenges of MELT Strength.
But this haphazard way did not feel right. Particularly after coming back from a MELT Refresh course in New York last month, I was determined to make it work.
From here on out, I will teach this in a small group of four participants at my studio every Sunday at 4 PM. Being at my studio allows me to advise whether the prospective participant has the base knowledge to make it a good fit. It also allows me to get to everybody and make sure that they are doing it right.
Since MELT Strength is not about barbell pumping, muscle building hypertrophy of pecs and biceps but instead about the re-integration of intrinsic stabilizers of the hip, shoulder girdle and core, it is important not to allow compensatory patterns to take over the small desired movements of the targeted muscles. That's the reason for the small group.
When I was young, I wore high heels – a lot. Fortunately, because of many recreational interests, I also wore regular shoes or tennis shoes (that's what we called it then) very often and have not suffered the foot deformities that I see quite often and which are usually the result of fashion footwear. At this point, let's not go into all the resulting misalignments of the rest of the body.
Even today, I can be seen in heels. Let's face it: there are some outfits where a nice set of heels really completes the look. And as long as the function does not include a lot of walking or standing – why not?
With the latest re-emergence (note the closeness to "emergency") of high heels and plateaus, it's déjà vu all over again. Apparently with the clear goal of securing the income of future podiatrists, here she comes ……
Recently I was asked to assess the walking style in those heels. Well, it looked rather clunky, and I thought how to communicate a better way of navigate in those stilettos.
So, if you must, try it this way: because heels force the pelvic into an anterior tilt, imagine pushing the tailbone down towards the floor, thus normalizing the excessive arch in the lower back. At the same time, lift your ribcage up a little, and the gait looks a lot better.
One more thing: carry a pair of comfy shoes as back-up.

Around The World… Erm… Blogosphere
Pudge at Sound Politics doesn't "know Rep. Matt Shea (R-4th LD, around Spokane), but… consider(s) him a bit of a hero, actually standing up for rights and liberty when most people, on either side of the aisle, don't."
Read the list of bills Rep. Matt Shea has submitted that were dropped by that august assembly.
In the critical race for "the people's seat" in Massachusetts, the ideological walls are as high as can be. Incumbent Martha Coakley (D), the favorite for the seat recently vacated at the passing of Teddy Kennedy is defending herself against the increasing tide that is support for Scott Brown.
Coakley supports ObamaCare, opposes the war in Afghanistan, and favors higher taxes on the wealthy. Brown is against the health care legislation, backs the president�s surge in Afghanistan, and wants across-the-board tax cuts � la JFK. Coakley is an EMILY�s List prochoice hard-liner; Brown condemns partial-birth abortion and is backed by Massachusetts Citizens for Life. Coakley has no problem with civilian trials for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Brown thinks it reckless to treat enemy combatants like ordinary defendants.
Other differences abound. Coakley doesn't like being questioned about her stated and public views when they may reflect poorly on her and she doesn't like admitting the possibly she may have been incorrect in the past. Even CNN reveals her follies. While Brown homeschools his kids, speaks eloquently regarding the true nature of government, and promises to be a serious thorn in the side of the currently prevailing powers in Washington.
Should Brown win, the Democrats are already threatening to block his appointment to the Senate, until after the �health-care� bill is passed.� We shall see.
Pat Robertson, again
Neil asks for someone to please take away Pat Robertson's microphone. I agree.
But they won't take it away because the portions of our culture that despise Christianity are much happier if they don't have to misrepresent. Even denying morality and absolutes, they'll take a juicy truth over a conjured or fabricated tale if it achieves the desired result.
So I'd love for that man to just go away, but I'm pretty sure it isn't going to happen until God deems his time right.
Neil again
Neil continues his fight against liberal theology and liberal theologians.
That man has more patience than I could ever find in dealing with these people so invested in lies and fabrications, so intransigent in their fallacies.
I am glad Neil is that way, though. Perhaps those he preaches against will someday hit their heads on a doorpost so hard the voices of rationalization and self-justification will shut up, and they'll see, through the might hand of the one true God, the truth as it is, and not as they wish it to be.
Keep up the good work my friend.
The way things ought to be
WinteryKnight is very much about that, hence his many "MUST-READ's".
The good news is, they all are.
He's also very concerned about the plight of manhood and boyhood in our society. From the feminized path that boys must take through our public school system to the extreme cases of insane feminism beating down men trying to do the right thing by their children and families, WinteryKnight chronicles the sad story of the life of the man today.
Frankly, I didn't know quite what I was up against.
But I'm glad to have found this new blogging buddy and I encourage you to check him out to.
Bonus for single ladies: he's single, is a great catch, and has very high standards (which some of us are working to fix).
I can't stand having pockets over full. Too often pants pockets today are constructed shoddily, almost as an afterthought, and the contents of the pockets bump against my legs and rub and get in the way and abrade.
But what can you tell about a man from his pockets? The Art of Manliness posted a selection from a 1933 Esquire magazine which portrayed the story of a man through the contents of his pockets.
Contents of His Pockets at Ten
1 watch, lacking a main spring.
1 report card, badly frayed and unpresented at home.
1 much damaged cigarette, unsmoked.
1 penknife.
1 rubber band, for use in sling-shot.
Remains of an exploded toy balloon.
2 marbles.
4 caps of milk bottles, won in competition
1 dirty handkerchief.
1 piece of chewing gum.
2 keys which do not fit locks.

Today's Interesting Stuff: 10/12/2009
Where're the headlines?
Reason.org reports on a study published in October 2008 in the Journal of the American Medical Association which busts the balloon of "common knowledge" regarding who clogs emergency rooms and doesn't pay.
Show of hands: who believes it is the uninsured who use a disproportionately high amount of medical care in US emergency rooms while paying a disproportionately low amount of their bills?
I did. In the face of a lack of public evidence to the contrary and because it sounds plausible. It passed the "stink" test.
Well, it's deodorant is wearing out and the reek of the rotted corpse is becoming harder and harder to conceal.
(R)esearchers at the University of Michigan … concluded that "available data do not support assumptions that uninsured patients are a primary cause of overcrowding, present with less acute conditions than insured patients, or seek [emergency room] care primarily for convenience."
(P)atients with public insurance, such as Medicaid and Medicare, are more likely to crowd into emergency rooms for minor complaints than are the uninsured. Only about 17 percent of E.R. visits in the United States in the last year studied were by uninsured patients, about the same as their share of the population.
A 2007 study in the Annals of Emergency Medicine looked at charges and payments for 43,128 emergency department visits between 1996 and 2004. "What surprised us was that uninsured patients actually pay a higher proportion of their emergency department charges than Medicaid does," reported co-author Reneé Hsia, a specialist in emergency medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. "In fact, 35 percent of charges for uninsured visits were paid in 2004, compared with 33 percent for Medicaid visits."
In other words, it's the people already on that paradigm of balanced care, the public option, that are the dead weight on the system. They are leeches. They suck eagerly at the public teat like so many thirty-year-old, basement dwelling, XBox playing nerds living off their own mother's inability to to force their children to grow up.
In nature the parent birds push their own children out of their nest in a fly or fall choice.
We humans have compassion and a sign of a healthy society is more likely found in their care for their poor rather than the lack of the poor. But to forcibly take from the productive members of society and play the enabler to the myriad sponges found around every willing and leaky faucet is not to help but to kill.
"Where are the headlines?" a friend asked.
With the wonder of the internet and the example of Big Government and the slaying of the beast ACORN in recent weeks, we must embrace this truth about a fundamental change in our society: we are the 4th estate.
Each and every one of us have the power, through viral spreading of messages through the networks of facebook and youtube and twitter, myspace and orkut, blogs and the wider web, to build a story, however under-reported in the mainstream media, into a tsunami which cannot be ignored by those we've sent to do our bidding in DC and statehouses across this nation.
Are you doing your part in this brave new world?
Government Is Big
Bringing home the glory in the Duh! category today, the Washington Post, reporting on Obama's Executive Order mandating federal agencies monitor and decrease their greenhouse emissions and environmental footprint, noted the government is big.
Administration officials said they could not estimate the federal government's carbon footprint, since it has never been measured before, but the government ranks as the nation's largest energy consumer. It occupies nearly 500,000 buildings, operates more than 600,000 vehicles and employs more than 1.8 million civilian workers.
Very big.
500,000 buildings?
Five Hundred-Thousand buildings?
What in heaven's name have we allowed the government to do in order to meet our needs for an accountable system of government?
I feel like Frankenstein's creator: "It's ALIIIIVE!".
And well I should. After all, as an involved member of this greatest nation on God's green earth I'm one who votes and talks, exercising the rights guaranteed by a Constitution won with the blood of thousands and defended by the blood of millions. And therefore I'm responsible, maybe not for the problem directly, but for the solution certainly.
I'm not one to get into the whole green thing. The clerk at Bed, Bath & Beyond said she wanted to use the bamboo kitchen utensils I was checking out because she'd heard they were more environmentally friendly. I told her I used them because they work better than regular wood utensils, nothing green about it.
But here's something real greens and conservatives and concerned citizens across the country can all get behind: cut back on the footprint of the government by cutting back on the government.
In a galaxy far, far away…
…where President Obama lives. He was joined recently by the members of the Nobel Prize Committee. It's probably more true to say they've been there all along, considering who they like to reward.
But breaking information regarding the nature of that world has come to light courtesy of a small, fuzzy friend"
The Real Winner
Ironic Surrealism has the lowdown on the real winner of the Nobel Peace Prize:
Wearing Green For Iran
Castles Of Corruption
Newt Gingrich:
Americans should look carefully at the anti-politician, anti-government mood exhibited in California last week.
This vote is the second great signal that the American people are getting fed up with corrupt politicians, arrogant bureaucrats, greedy interests and incompetent, destructive government.
The elites ridiculed or ignored the first harbinger of rebellion, the recent tea parties. While it will be harder to ignore this massive anti-tax, anti-spending vote, they will attempt to do just that.
Voters in our largest state spoke unambiguously, but politicians and lobbyists in Sacramento are ignoring or rejecting the voters' will, just as they are in Albany, N.Y., and Trenton, N.J. The states with huge government machines have basically moved beyond the control of the people. They have become castles of corruption, favoritism and wastefulness. These state governments are run by lobbyists for the various unions through bureaucracies seeking to impose the values of a militant left. Elections have become so rigged by big money and clever incumbents that the process of self-government is threatened.
Albany is even more corrupt and dysfunctional. The special interests that own the legislators in both parties have been exploiting New York for two generations. They have impoverished the Upstate region to the point where it is a vast zone of no jobs and no opportunities. Their predatory tax and bureaucratic union behavior is beginning to cripple New York City. More and more successful New Yorkers are leaving the state. In the face of multiple crises, Gov. David Paterson has shown himself incapable of carrying out reform.
…the machines don't care because all they want to do is own the wreckage.
…look again at the 62 percent-plus majority in California in favor of smaller government and lower taxes.
In the great tradition of political movements rising against arrogant, corrupt elites, there will soon be a party of people rooting out the party of government. This party may be Republican; it may be Democratic; in some states it may be a third party. The politicians have been warned.
Read all about it: States have become castles of corruption
But Dan Walters, in the Sacramento Bee, says we shouldn't be as upset as we are:
When… new taxes expire in a couple of years, Californians' relative tax burden could also drop further – but if the economy is rising by then, it could also mean a surge of revenues even when the increased rates disappear.
If nothing else, these data indicate that while income and sales tax rates may make a difference, the economy is the biggest factor in how much tax Californians pay in aggregate.
When the economy rises, so do tax collections, and when it falls, revenues fall with it.
Walters asks if Californians taxes are too high or too low.
It's not that the taxes are too high or too low, it's the socio-political philosophy which supports such confiscatory policies and uses the money to pad pockets and entrench power.

Slaven Bilic 's area however have Champions League the east London club along with aspirations are willing to splash on the bucks. Against letting him out on loan, Chelsea delayed on Loic Remy and in the end resolved, and with Stoke keeping your hands on Mame Diouf, the club ran from choices. It's really a bit of excellent news for your below- pressure Neville, who's nevertheless to gain a house game. The Chelsea skipper unveiled in the weekend he won't be presented a new package – although that seems available to presentation at Chelsea's finish. The Telegraph are reporting that Falcao rather going to former team Atletico Madrid and might be lowering small his loan transfer.
And their team move file has shattered using the £8m catch of Abdoulaye Doucoure. NOGO FOR ENRIQUE: Newcastle are busy signing strikers however they've been unable to bring Jose Enrique Back again to the membership from Liverpool. Liverpool were associated with Real Madrid midfielder Denis Cheryshev earlier in the day-but he is currently going to Valencia on-loan – a for Gary Neville.
Based on the BBC, Charlton are in getting Yaya Sanogo on-loan from Arsenal interested. He hasnot been performing the business enterprise thus might he follow inside the actions of Coquelin and Alex Melody by getting his System career back on the right track. FOXES CELEBRITY IN ROUTE OUT: Sure, Richie Laet, previously of Manchester Usa, is positioned to hitch Middslesbrough on loan before end of the summer season, based on the BBC. BERAHINO UPDATE: West Brom assume Saido Berahino to be in the team tomorrow, assistant boss Dave Kemp has confirmed (Tony Pulis is busy, doubtless with different transfer organization).
DONE OPTION: Another shift that is anticipated currently confirmed Pritchard has left Spurs for West Brom on loan. DONE OPTION: Manchester City have torpedoed and introduced that Guardiola has decided to replace Pellegrini at the end of the growing season. DONE OPTION: Manchester Area youngster Roberts has joined Celtic on-loan before the end of the summer season.
DONE DEAL: Like vehicles, Spurs have let another key defense move – this time Federico Fazio back again to Sevilla (not surprisingly). Not being elsewhere engaged or ill, they seem to genuinely believe that suggests there be could well a in the pipeline for the midfielder – Stoke have been firmly connected for much of the month. WATFORD TO CLINCH DEAL: He is likely to be loaned straight-out, but Watford appear set to interrupt their transfer report and indication midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure for approximately £8m.

King Saul and Archaeology
by Rick Dack, Founder and Director of Defending the Bible Int'l.

"To many people it seems remarkable that David and Solomon still remain unknown outside the Old Testament or literary sources derived directly from it. No extra-Biblical inscription, either from Palestine or from a neighboring country, has yet been found to contain a reference to them." - Kathleen Kenyon, former Jericho and Jerusalem Excavator (Price 1997, 162).
"Similarly, the David of the Bible, David the King, is not a historical figure." - Neils Peter Lemche (Biblical Archaeology Review, July/August 1997, 40).
. .."of exuberant imagination." J.A. Montgomery, in The International Critical Commentary, labeled the passages 1 Kings 6:20-22, 30 and 2 Chronicles 3:4-7 as products of myth concerning the inside of Solomon's Temple as being pure gold. - (Bible and Spade, Autumn 1994, 97).
"Tom, I don't care in the least whether Solomon ever existed. I'm probably more of a disbeliever than you. I don't really care about the traditions. I don't believe any of the myths." -William Dever addressing Thomas Thompson. (Biblical Archaeology Review, July/August 1997, 33).
"I want to be sure you understand me about David and Solomon. For me, as an archaeologist, it's simple. I don't have to argue whether this Solomon existed. I do have to argue that somebody built these gates (at Gezer, Megiddo and Hazor) in a government that was highly centralized, and for me that means statehood. In other words its Solomon by another name. I don't care. I'm talking about centralization and the rise of the state. And I use the term Solomon as a kind of convenient short hand. And so therefore I would say a Solomon of sort existed but not necessarily the Solomon of fable." - William Dever, (Biblical Archaeology Review, July/August 1997, 40).
For a number of years, the critics of the Bible have invaded our literature, television, and other forms of media. Unfortunately, many people of conviction, including students in Christian institutions, have fallen prey to perceived literature and films that must be pro-Bible just by the very nature of their publicized name. I have no problem with the concept of all ideas being expressed, but there must be an alternative to information for the student to consume that will compliment rather than offend and confuse the person of faith. Fortunately, there are publications such as Artifax magazine and Bible and Spade, but these young publications are not allowed into libraries because they do not fit all the standards necessary for indexing. A perfect of example of this problem happened at Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minnesota, where a student denied the very existence of Jericho and its destruction. I was shocked at hearing this student rail against the biblical city that was destroyed after the Exodus. Even more unbelievable, is knowing that a year and a half prior to this, Dr. Bryant Wood spoke at Northwestern College where he supported the biblical city's historical and archaeological merits. The next logical question arises: Is the Bible of exuberant imagination (see title and quote above), or can it be trusted? This question has been exhausted by minimalist and maximalist scholars for years, and one cannot help but logically make the leap with the following set of circumstances. If the Exodus never happened, then Jericho must be a myth, and the Hebrews never escaped the bondage initially started by the Hyksos. If this scenario is true, then there is no basis for Judges and the beginning of the nation of Israel is pure fancy. Also, there is no need for Kings if you have no Kingdom. As will be seen there is ample evidence for Kings Saul, (Ishbosheth of 2 Samuel 2:10 - temporary King not covered in this paper), David and Solomon, much to the dismay of critics who either choose not to believe, have not researched the evidence, or have pre-conceived ideas about early Israel.
Nahash the Ammonite
1 Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to him, "Make a treaty with us, and we will be subject to you."
- 1 Samuel 11:1 (http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible)
Prior to Saul's proclamation as King (at Gilgal) by his people, Nahash the Ammonite laid siege against Jabesh Gilead with his marauders. The people of Jabesh Gilead tried to make peace with Nahash (Serpent), he refused, Saul was contacted at Gibeah, and he eventually won the day by attacking the Ammonites with his three companies until the heat of the day (1 Samuel 11:11). This act not only assured Saul's place as Israel's first King but also showed his competency as a great military leader who could lead his people to victory (Life Application Bible, 1993, 462). Jabesh Gilead (dry heap of stones) is located 19 miles southeast of Beth Shan and 12 miles north of the Jabbock River (Bible and Spade, Winter 1982, 13). When King Saul and his sons were slain by the Philistines and his body was placed at Beth Shan, it was the men of Jabesh-Gilead who gave them a proper burial.
Saul and the Witch of Endor
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land. 4 The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem, while Saul gathered all the Israelites and set up camp at Gilboa. 5 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart. 6 He inquired of the Lord , but the Lord did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets. 7 Saul then said to his attendants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her." "There is one in Endor," they said. 8 So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. "Consult a spirit for me," he said, "and bring up for me the one I name." 9 But the woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?" 10 Saul swore to her by the Lord , "As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this." 11 Then the woman asked, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" "Bring up Samuel," he said. 12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!" 13 The king said to her, "Don't be afraid. What do you see?" The woman said, "I see a spirit [1] coming up out of the ground." 14 "What does he look like?" he asked. "An old man wearing a robe is coming up," she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
- 1 Samuel 28:3-14 (http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible)
After a careful examination of the text, there are some interesting points that should be touched upon. 1 Samuel 28:11 speaks of the witch wanting to bring up the person who she is trying to contact. The Ob (pronounced "Ov") pit was more than likely what she was using. The pit was 6 feet wide, 6 feet deep, and was used for conjuring spirits. Offerings of blood, milk, and honey were dropped into the pit, and the conjurer would recite spells and incantations over the concoction in order to lure the spirits up out of the hole. The reason that a witch would use the pit was to ask questions of the deceased as seen in the Old Testament story in which Saul contacted the prophet Samuel. The description of the Ob pit is mentioned in Hittite literature, but there is no indication within the text that the Witch of Endor was a Hittite (Old Testament Archaeology video, Northwestern College, 2000).
The Death of Saul and the Philistines at Beth Shan
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines pressed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. 3 The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him. 4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and abuse me." But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died. 6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together. 7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them. 8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news among their idols and their people. 10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung up his head in the temple of Dagon
- 1 Chronicles 10: 1-10 (http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible)
7 When the Israelites along the valley and those across the Jordan saw that the Israelite army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them. 8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and they sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people. 10 They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
- 1 Samuel 31:7-10 (http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible).
The excavations by Amahai Mazar at Beth Shan have uncovered Philistine pottery, a strainer jug, a fertility goddess statue, a Philistine bowl which were all Aegean in their styles (Archaeology and Biblical Research, Spring 1992, 63). In addition, a strong Egyptian presence from 1450 - 1150 B.C. was uncovered according to area supervisor Bob Mullins (Price 1997, 147). Its earliest level of occupation dates to about 3000 B.C., and the latest evidence found is from the Roman period which includes inscriptions, pottery, and an amphitheatre. Beth Shan is located between the Jordan and Jezreel Valleys (Blaiklock, 1983, 100). After Saul's death, his body and the bodies of his sons (except Ishbosheth's, who would reign two years before David's rule) were placed on the wall at Beth Shan, his armor was placed at an Ashtoreth Temple, and his head was placed in a Temple of Dagon. A problem arose with this portion of Scripture because both Temples could not have existed at the same time. It was known that a Philistine Temple (of the god Dagon) and a Canaanite Temple (the goddess Astoreth) could not be present within the same level of occupation because the Canaanites were an earlier people and had gods of opposing peoples. The answer to this riddle is the belief that the Philistines more than likely absorbed the Canaanite gods into their beliefs and thus kept the Temple as an adjoining part of their Dagon Temple. In 1930, Alan Rowe uncovered the Philistine and Canaanite Temple in the same level of occupation at Beth Shan. This discovery once again proves that the Bible is textually and archaeologically accurate (Bible and Spade, Winter 1972, 9-11).

CHORLEY suffered the narrowest of defeats as they managed to dodge the rain on Saturday – but their three points taken from a one-run loss at Penrith took them to the top of the Chorley Building Society Northern League.
And that adds extra spice to today's derby with Darwen as the sides lock horns at Windsor Park first and second in the table meaning a cracker with more than local pride is at stake.
Darwen were one of the majority of teams who were hit by the weather as they Birch Hall clash with Preston was an early casualty.
But up the M6 at Tynefield Park, Chorley won the toss and put league new boys Penrith in to bat.
Ryan Carruthers and Karanjit Bansal put on 43 for the first wicket for the hosts before the latter was removed by Billy Smith, who returned to lead the Chorley attack after injury, for 15.
That 43-1 became 43-2 when Gaurav Dhar bowled Carruthers for 21 and as the Penrith middle order wobbled it seemed as though Chorley could knock the hosts over cheaply.
But Ben Davidson (26) and Jon Osbourne (33) scored vital runs as Penrith closed their innings on 148-8 after a rain reduced 42 overs.
The value of Smith was proved by a return of 5-51 from 21 overs – and his efforts set up a good run chase.
Andrew Winrow and skipper Andrew Holdsworth made a dozen each and Ian Dickinson went for a duck as former Kendal man Jack White claimed four wickets but the real damage to Chorley's hopes was done by Penrith pro Paul Hindmarch.
The Cumberland man bowled particularly well and seemed to be leading his side home in a tense finish.
But Jack Catterall made 40 and was ninth man out with just seven needed – and despite Chris Harty making five of those, it was all over on the second ball of the final over when he was bowled by White to leave Chorley 147 all out and a one-run loss.
St Anes beat Lancaster at Lune Road in another game to beat the weather, while the only other match to be completed came at Broadwater where Barrow ended their losing run as they claimed the lion's share of the spiols from a draw with Fleetwood.
Despite being washed out on Saturday, Darwen still had something to celebrate from the weekend.
They booked their place in the second round of the Royal London ECB National Club Knockout after beating Astley Bridge at Birch Hall in a game shortened to a Twenty20.
The initial clash was rained off earlier in the month and arranged for Friday.
Astley Bridge batted first at Birch Hall and made 120 from their 20 overs with the highlight being a spectacular one-handed catch from Mark Emery.
Rain reduced the Darwen innings to 12 overs and their target was adjusted accordingley to 73 and after Ammer Mirza was trapped leg before first ball, John Cordingley and Kamran Anwar turned the tie in the Towers favour.
Anwar made 20 before being bowled round his legs and despite Neil Cordingley falling to a run out from a direct hit, John Cordingley kept his nerve to make 43 not out and steer Darwen to a fine win.

What are researchers finding out about LearningRx?
What difference does brain training make? Do our programs impact cognitive skills? Is brain performance changed? Do individuals and families benefit? The following research studies may answer some of these questions for you. At LearningRx, research on our programs is one of our top priorities. Read for yourself what studies are showing related to LearningRx brain training programs.
Carpenter, D., Ledbetter, C., & Moore, A.L. (2016). LearningRx cognitive training effects in children ages 8-14: A randomized controlled study. Applied Cognitive Psychology. doi: 10.1002/acp.3257
In a randomized controlled study, the effects of a one-on-one cognitive training program on IQ, memory, visual and auditory processing, processing speed, reasoning, and attention for students ages 8-14 were examined. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group to complete 60 hours of cognitive training or to a wait-list control group. The purpose of the study was to examine changes in general intelligence and individual cognitive skills after completing cognitive training with ThinkRx, a LearningRx program. Results showed statistically significant differences between groups on all outcome measures except for attention. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are examined. See the results of the study.
LearningRx Training Results: 2008-2015
In this preliminary preview of the next results report, pretest and post-test scores of more than 18,000 LearningRx students were analyzed. As a group, students made statistically significant gains in all cognitive and academic skills measured by the Woodcock Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities and Tests of Achievement. The average IQ gain was 14 points. Gains in cognitive skills ranged from 3.2 years to 5.0 years. Gains in reading skills ranged from 2.0 years to 6.3 years while gains in math skills ranged from 2.2 years to 3.5 years. See the results of the study.
Moore, A. (2015). Achievement Outcomes for LearningRx Students: Math and Reading Achievement Before and After Cognitive Training.
This report summarizes the analysis of reading and math achievement outcomes for more than 6,000 students who completed a ReadRx or MathRx training program at LearningRx between 2008 and 2014. ReadRx students made statistically significant gains on tests of Word Attack, Spelling Sounds, Sound Awareness, and Passage Comprehension. The mean gain across reading achievement tests was 3.6 years. MathRx students made statistically significant gains on tests of Math Fluency, Applied Problems, and Quantitative Concepts. The mean gain across math achievement tests was 3.3 years. In a subset of students who provided state achievement test results, 91% percent of the students who completed the ReadRx program showed improvement on state reading achievement tests after the intervention. See the results of the study.
Moore, A. (2015). LearningRx Training and IQ Gains.
This presentation reports the changes in IQ from before and after LearningRx training of more than 18,000 students between 2008 and 2015. The average IQ before training was 97 and the average IQ after training was 111, resulting in an average IQ gain of 14 points. The presentation also reports on a subset of 40 students with double baseline testing, revealing a decline in IQ between the time of diagnosis and beginning LearningRx training and then a dramatic increase in IQ following LearningRx training. See the results of the study.

Journal of Experimental Education: Learning, Instruction, and Cognition. doi: 10.1080/00220973.2015.1065218. Available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00220973.2015.1065218
This paper describes two studies testing the efficacy of the LearningRx one-on-one cognitive training program and its computer-based version (Brainskills) in laboratory and school settings. Study 1 tested Brainskills in a laboratory setting with 322 middle school students. Paired t-tests revealed significant gains on all cognitive measures and math performance after 3 weeks of training. Study 2, a randomized control study, included 225 high school students randomly assigned to one of three conditions: LearningRx, Brainskills, or study hall (control) in a school setting for a 15-week training period. Univariate ANCOVAs revealed significantly higher scores for the treatment groups compared with controls on working memory, logic and reasoning, and three of four math attitude measures but not for math performance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the comprehensive cognitive training program, ThinkRx. Sixty-one children (ages 6-18) were given pretest and post-test cognitive assessments. Thirty-one students completed a 24-week cognitive training program in a LearningRx center. A matched control group of thirty children did not receive training. Multiple regression analyses indicated that treatment group membership was a statistically significant predictor of outcomes in long-term memory, logic and reasoning, working memory, processing speed, auditory processing, and Word Attack. The treatment group realized significantly greater gains in six of seven cognitive measures. Click here to download a copy of the article.
Doctoral Dissertation Examines the Profiles of Cognitive Trainers Associated with Success for Students
Dr. Amy Moore studied characteristics of 150 cognitive trainers that predicted outcomes for 1,195 clients with and without ADHD. After examining the predictive value of trainer personality, degree level, degree field, certification level, and pre-hire cognitive screening score on client gains in long-term memory, working memory, processing speed, and general intelligence, she found that no trainer profile held practical significance. Dr. Moore concluded that the intervention itself may be more important than the characteristics of the person delivering it. Read the dissertation.

As time went on, being out and about with baby, not just to go to the local shop and back, or for a constitutional round the park, became the norm, and parents quickly decided that having a supply of nappies, a change or two of clothes, snacks, toys, blanket etc to hand was essential to make the most of this freedom. The addition of an easily cleaned padded changing mat meant that baby could easily be changed whenever and wherever the necessity arose, with just a baby wipe to clean the mat afterwards. (Ours have certainly seen more than their fair share of car parks, beaches and park benches!)
|We've come a long way from this 1980s number!
Since then baby changing bags have become a necessity of modern parenting, permanently packed and ready by the front door (in theory anyway!), so baby's next outdoor adventure is only moments away. Designed to fit under your buggy, hang from the handle or be slung nonchalantly over a shoulder, this must-have bag carries every portable necessity for one or more babies, especially the all-important portable changing mat. And with a highly functional washable interior and multiple compartments for stashing all the essential stuff, you wouldn't think the outside really mattered much. But oh how it does!
In recent years the baby changing bag has become something of a status symbol, with the ubiquitous Pink Lining bag topping many a baby shower wish list. There are changing bags of every size, shape and design on offer, including florals, stripes, urban chic and plenty of man bags for modern dads too.
Plenty of designers have also got in on the act of late, with major names like Stella McCartney (for LeSportsac), Prada, Burberry and Louis Vutton offering their versions of the ideal baby changing bag. Although the parenting qualifications of many of these designers may be lacking, they have done their utmost to create a non-changing bag baby bag, using denim, leather and nylon to make what might actually be 'non-diaper bags'.
This trend has filtered down to the High Street too, with even the freebies offered to new parents being more like a classic messenger bag than a traditional baby bag. Whatever style of bag you are looking for, you are guaranteed to find it.
Me, I'm sticking with my trusty Storksak, the rather gorgeous Tania Bee in Fuschia: bright pink, capacious, stylish, hardwearing, and just plain lush! Now I just have to make sure I have in it everything a new bub needs, as well as all the toddler stuff...
What's your changing bag of choice?

Ee today announced that they are switching on 4G+ across 150 sites in the capital.
Although 4G+ devices like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Alpha are thin on the ground, users of regular 4G phones will also benefit from the roll-out.
Also known as LTE-Advanced, it can bring a blistering 150Mbps data speed to phones.
To put this into context, average 3G is at 2Mbps and 4G at 12Mbps, 4G+ is even faster than fibre optic broadband as Virgin report a speed of 140Mbps for their broadband over a 24 hour period on their website.
Back to 4G+, some of the first places in London to get it will be Soho, Westminster, and Shoreditch with full 4G+ coverage expected by June 2015.

Make Secure Donations Through Network for Good
Conservation Programs
KLT works hard to build a conservation legacy that significantly benefits the public —now and forever— by preserving lands of high ecological, agricultural, scenic, recreational or historic value KLT focuses mainly on land within the State of Kansas.
We are particularly interested in protecting the following:
- Lands that contain endangered, threatened or rare species or natural communities
- Wetlands, floodplains and other lands necessary to protect water quality
- Prairies, woods and other native communities
- Ecosystems of educational or scientific value, and parcels of land located nearby or within important wildlife or natural area corridors, or that that buffer already protected areas
- Lands of agricultural, forestry, hydrological, geological or wildlife habitat significance.
The KLT programs listed below reflect the values and priorities of our community. We invite you to join us in growing these programs. The work we do collectively requires time and resources. Help us to develop additional opportunities to protect the lands, cultures and lifestyles that Kansans love.
Donate a Conservation Easement
KLT encourages landowners with property that contains some or all of the features listed above to consider working with us to donate to KLT a conservation easement on some or all of your property. The effect of donating a conservation easement is to permanently limit or eliminate unwanted development on the land. We will work with you to achieve your vision for how you want your land to be used — forever. And you may be able to take advantage of favorable tax provisions when you donate a conservation easement to KLT. For more information, contact Jerry Jost, KLT's Executive Director.

Dwight Gayle was Newcastle's hero at Oakwell tonight (again) where Newcastle put in another solid performance and it was another brace for the number 9 in the second half that earned Newcastle another vital 3 points.
Gayle scored after 49 minutes and then after 68 minutes to give Newcastle another comfortable win on the road and we go up to 28 points from 13 league games played.
And Newcastle go top of the Championship for the first time this season as Norwich dropped a 2-0 half-time lead at Craven Cottage and could only come away with a 2-2 draw.
Dwight Gayle after scoring again
Newcastle were again backed by around 5.500 magnificent traveling fans tonight who were celebrating our fourth league win on the trot – exactly what we needed from the lads tonight.
Barnsley were up for the challenge though and may have been the better side in the first half in a close encounter, but then Newcastle came out in the second half and went into another gear and exerted some real pressure on the home side.
Just four minutes into the second half and the Magpies went ahead and it was Gayle who put the ball into the net following a corner by the fit again Matt Ritchie.
Then after 68 minutes Dwight got the vital second goal when Richie again was in the making of the goal as he took the ball forward from midfield and Gayle was able to put the ball past goalkeeper Davies to put us up by a comfortable 2-0.
It was another professional performance from this Newcastle side who seem to be improving as the season goes on – just like Rafa was hoping (and saying) would happen.
Next up are Ipswich Town on Saturday at St. James' Park and we hope we have a full house of 52,00 for that game.
Howay The Lads!!
Newcastle: Darlow; Anita, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett; Shelvey, Hayden; Ritchie (Atsu, 82), Diame (Colback, 90), Gouffran; Gayle.
Subs not used: Sels, Yedlin, Lazaar, Perez, Mitrovic.

Energy Recovery Centre
Vinci Construction Ltd
RPS are using Autodesk Revit software to produce a range of designs for a new sustainable energy plant to power 21,000 homes from c.240,000tpa of municipal solid waste.
The recovery centre's 50m high process building is clad in a mixture of composite cladding and the adjacent office building has extensive Brise-soleil and a sedum roof to minimise their appearance from a distance on the landscape.
The site also houses a large, fully enclosed ash processing/storage facility which incorporates a curved standing seam roof, mirroring that on the main process building. Externally, lower sections of the building are clad with rock gabions which are also used on retaining structures on other elements across the site.
The exposed site slopes to the North creating issues with access/egress to elements of the facility, requiring significant earth retaining structures. It is further complicated by the location of an SSSI site adjacent to the Northern boundary and a watercourse that takes drainage from the site and adjacent areas.
A SUDs drainage scheme is required and the attenuation of the rainwater run-off will require careful consideration by the design team during construction. As will maintaining the integrity and purity of the site's underground aquifer.
