Here is a list of the symptoms which I experienced which may also be familiar to many of you and may point towards you being a suitable candidate for SAT treatment:
Muscle Tension and Torsion
Increasing amounts of muscle tension and twisting throughout the whole body which has built up over many years and does not respond long term to stretches or exercise even you are disciplined with your exercise over a long period of time. You feel the constant need to stretch out muscles, but the tension returns very soon after. The muscles in your back and shoulders feel like they are set in concrete. The tension is exhausting but this exhaustion has become the new norm.
A twist of the head to the left/right; this has progressively got worse over many years. Often this is most noticeable by other people or when looking at photographs of yourself. In women it often just appears as coyness. You may have noticed that you are driving using only one eye because your head is so twisted to one side. It is impossible to self-correct for more than a few seconds and the pulling sensation gets harder to fight as time goes on.
The twisting of your head may be accompanied by muscle tension down one side of the neck which is very difficult to release and even if you do manage to release it through stretching, it soon returns.
Inability to Correct or Improve the Condition by either Exercise or Therapy
Difficulty Sitting
Difficulty Walking
You feel Imbalanced/out of Alignment from left to right and top to bottom
Please read about my journey through SAT treatment and how it has changed my life.
For the last year, I have been receiving SAT (Specific Adjustment Technique) treatment from Cliff. The effects of this treatment have been utterly life changing and I wanted to share my story in the hope that it will inspire and help others, and that in the long term, SAT will become a more widely recognised treatment.
I first met Cliff in 2013 through my osteopath in the north of Scotland where I live. I was 30 at the time and had suffered since my teenage years from growing amounts of tension, torsion and pain in my back, which had gradually referred throughout my whole body. I did not know the reason for the tension and discomfort but I knew it was gradually getting worse. The muscular torsion in my body was at the forefront of my mind all day long as I was constantly trying to combat it to go about my day in more comfort. My head was so twisted to the left that I was driving with one eye on the road and my body looked completely twisted and out of line with one shoulder higher than the other and one hip higher than the other. I was so twisted that I could not even sit in a chair normally and was constantly shuffling and ill at ease, which, when doing this every minute of every day for years on end, was exhausting. I appeared to people as though I had a nervous disposition and was socially ill at ease. I could not even lie in bed at night and relax; every muscle in my body was under tension and in order to sleep, I had to completely wear myself out just so that I would fall asleep through sheer exhaustion as soon as my head hit the pillow, rather than lie there rigid for hours on end. There was no escape, and I was utterly exhausted from the daily battle of trying to correct this. I had the best will in the world to fight the muscular pulling sensations in my body with exercises, relaxation techniques etc, but it was futile. After 10 years of seeing several physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, sports massage therapists and Alexander technique specialists both in the NHS and privately, and spending literally thousands of pounds, only to find that the tension and pain always returned a few days later, I was desperate to try anything new that might work.
I had been put forward by my osteopath as someone who might benefit from seeing an osteopath friend of his who was visiting him here in Scotland. The idea was that Cliff was training my osteopath in a technique called SAT (Specific Adjustment Technique) which was specifically for people who had suffered a trauma to the upper spine. This can occur at birth (so you are often not even aware of anything being wrong because it has just always been this way for you) but it can also be due to a fall, impact or a car crash. In any case, such trauma cannot be treated effectively through conventional osteopathic or chiropractic treatment. It is often not apparent that you have damaged your spine at the time of the impact. You dust yourself down and any minor injuries you may have sustained will heal, but underneath, the trauma has affected your body on a deeper level; in your spine and central nervous system. Health problems which are not normally associated with damaging your spine will gradually creep in over the years. Such problems are then often treated in isolation as problems in their own right rather than as an effect of the trauma to the spine - which by this point may well be long forgotten about in the past and so no connection is ever made.
This is exactly what had happened to me. Although I believe my trauma may be traced back to birth, I believe that an accident further exacerbated the problem in my spine when I was 11, so my body was racked with over 20 years of compensations which my body had made in order to allow it to function as best as it could. (It is probably worth noting at this point that my injury had gone untreated for a very long time and so I was quite a severe case; not everyone's journey through SAT will be as intense, difficult and will take as long as mine has.)
The idea was that Cliff would do the first major manipulation and then my osteopath would continue the treatment over the coming months. I would be lying if I said that this was a small adjustment to my upper spine and I went home and slept for most of the next two days! A few days later, I woke up feeling very relaxed, I got out of bed and my entire right side of my body had dropped dramatically and was now hanging there with no tension whatsoever! I looked in the mirror and was so shocked by what I saw and felt that I burst into tears and my legs turned to jelly I was so overwhelmed! It had been years since I had felt no stress or tension in my body; it felt amazing although the impact of such a drastic change was hugely disconcerting. To say that this was a life changing moment would be an understatement.
"I knew at this point that this treatment was different and much more effective
than everything else I had ever tried."
The treatment continued with my own osteopath, however, over time, my own osteopath decided not to pursue the use of the SAT technique and treatment fizzled out. I did feel much better by this point, but what I did not realise at the time was that unless my body was strengthened and realigned with Pilates after the initial adjustments, the old tension patterns and the related pain would just reappear.
The symptoms did continue to improve for about a year but then very gradually, tension did begin to creep back in and my overall health began to deteriorate once more. After another couple of years, the symptoms had worsened to the point that it was now affecting my ability to walk as well as having severely aggravated my asthma. I could not even walk up a couple of steps without needing my inhaler and I even wheezed sat in a chair; it had become debilitating and affected my daily routine. At it's worst, my feet had become contorted to the point that even standing up was painful and every day became a struggle to do even simple tasks. Sitting in a car to drive had become impossible. I had also been diagnosed by the NHS as having IBS and problems with waterworks. At this point, I was exhausted and I was doing the bare necessities in life just to survive from one day to the next.
I was however, at a point in my life where my lifestyle had become much less stressful and I decided that now was the time to put my life on hold in order to get this sorted. I had always made a mental note of Cliff's SAT treatment from three years ago, and I had kept it on hold in the back of my mind for a time in my life when I could commit to going down to the Lake District to see the process through with himself from start to finish. I first embarked on almost six months of relentless daily foam rolling to loosen off some of the concrete-like muscle fascia which pervaded my body. I then got back in contact with Cliff and finally began this journey for real in April 2016!
For the next five months I embarked on a round trip journey of over 700 miles every three weeks from the North of Scotland to the Lake District to receive treatment from Cliff. Because I had received SAT treatment before, I had every faith that my efforts would bear fruit as I was going to get the entire course of treatment this time, and I had no quarms about taking on such a project! It was a huge commitment to make, not only in terms of time and effort (the trip took a whole weekend every three weeks), but financially too. I remembered the life changing release which the initial SAT adjustment from Cliff had brought three years ago, and over the coming weeks, my faith in the procedure itself grew more and more as the treatment never failed to deliver even more astounding tangible improvements; I was constantly spurred onwards to stick with it. Cliff methodically made adjustments down my spine and used cranial work to calm my nervous system. I followed every bit of advice Cliff offered; especially not exercising after treatment and not dabbling in other treatments at the same time. He explained SAT to be almost like a resetting of the nervous system (and this is exactly what it felt like), so that my body could learn to unravel the hundreds of compensations down my spine and in the muscles and ligaments throughout my body which had been taken on in order to survive since the original trauma.
Everyday I would get (and still do get) an enormous debilitating shivering sensation through my body, like my nerves were awakening for the first time. It winded me and sometimes was so strong that it knocked me to my knees! But it was never frightening and often made me giggle because the sensation was so intense and felt so positive! Whenever, my body was beginning to fall into old muscular holding patterns, it seemed to stop dead in its tracks and reset in this way. It felt like my body had been enabled to know how to best heal itself and I grew confident that my body knew instinctively which particular pain/tension to address next. I had to learn to go with the flow without interfering too much, to really listen to my body and when I felt it moving and resetting, I just had to sit down for a while and enjoy the sensations!
Over the next 5 months, after each session, more aches and pains disappeared. I used the Necksaviour and the Sacro Wedgy (recommended by Cliff) at the end of every day to help and make sure my body was going to bed in a good state to heal overnight. I had ultimate faith in the procedure and in Cliff. I had improved so much by this point, that I managed to walk up a 2000ft mountain and an 11 mile walk; six months previously I could not even walk a few metres without being in pain!
"This is the extent to which SAT can change lives if you fully believe and embrace it."
At this point, Cliff recommended that I start doing Pilates to help strengthen and realign my body; this, I believe was the vital part of my 'rehabilitation' which had been missing three years ago. I found myself a Body Control Pilates teacher and although I have to say that it has been a huge commitment each day, it very much has taken over from where the original SAT treatment left off. It began with just half an hour a day of exercises but now - eight months down the line since the end of the initial SAT treatment – it has increased to two hours a day. I also supplement this with at least an hour of body scan meditation to allow my body to be in a relaxed state to begin and end the day, and to develop awareness and the skill of 'feeling into' my body with a view to calming my nervous system down and releasing pain and tension should I need to do so. I cannot stress enough how strongly I believe that the combination of SAT, Pilates and Meditation is vital to calming, healing and reconnecting mind and body in order to ultimately get the most out this treatment (please click to download my 'S.A.T' leaflet SAT .docx in which I offer some practical advice on how to succeed quickly and effectively in realigning and strengthening your body). It is also possible to strengthen and realign the body after S.A.T treatment through Hanna Somatics rather than Pilates. I believe this could be equally effective in some cases.
To date, my feet are now much less contorted and my ability to walk has improved dramatically. In the last few months I have climbed another couple of mountains and am now able to cycle much longer distances. I am about to cycle around two islands off the west coast of Scotland too! These are things I have never been able to do without a huge amount of distress. In addition to the obvious structural and mobility improvements, my asthma has reduced massively (from taking 250mg of the strongest prescribed inhaler twice a day down to 125mg once every ten days or so!) My allergy problems (which were a daily hindrance) have significantly improved, my digestion and waterworks have returned to normal, my skin is clearer, my libido has increased dramatically and I also have lost a stone even though I am probably eating more than I ever have! Although some of these improvements can be slightly attributed to a distinct change in lifestyle, working hours and a huge decrease in stress which occurred just before I met Cliff in 2016, for the most part, these improvements have been due to SAT and the Pilates which followed. I do notice that whenever I am stressed, my body does try to fall back into the old holding patterns and compensations, however, I believe the Pilates will strengthen my body sufficiently to eventually combat this.
I am currently just over a year into my journey and although I probably have at least another year in front of me, I see tiny movements in the right direction every day. The whole journey through SAT can be a long one, but together with the results from the Pilates it is all very encouraging; in fact there are very few things I have ever done which deliver such regular positive feedback to spur you on!
"I completely embraced the SAT process and it has completely changed my life."
Every day, I feel my bodystarting to move in different ways, I feel it getting stronger and straighter and this allows me to live a much happier and fulfilling life both in terms of everyday activities like sitting in a chair comfortably and driving without being in severe pain (tasks which other people take for granted), but also the ability to follow an active outdoor lifestyle. I have had this problem for most of my life and so I do not actually know what a 'normal' body feels like…so therefore I do not really know how much more improvement is obtainable! However, I am enjoying the journey, and the pain free, new found freedom which every day brings!
I have made some tremendous achievements on this journey which have been accompanied with overwhelming tears of joy, excitement and awe at what SAT can achieve. However, although I have always had reassuring signs from my body that the treatment was working, there have been times where I have had to dig deep to keep going just because the journey ahead seemed such a long – and often lonely – one, especially living so far away from the one person who knew what was going on in my body! Trying to unravel the multitude of problems in my body has been like peeling an onion; there has been layer after layer of problems to resolve. At these times, Cliff has always been there to remind me that SAT will work, I will achieve my goals and that it just needs time. He has engaged with my constant updates, sharing of high emotions when there have been huge leaps forward and spurring me on every step of the way! I still see Cliff every 8-12 weeks or so for follow up treatment and everything is moving in the right direction.
Given the degree to which SAT has improved my life, I have become passionate about spreading awareness of it, as I believe there are thousands of people who are suffering in the same way and for the same reason I was, merely because whiplash injuries are not diagnosed, treated, and most of all, not understood.
I am only part way through my journey and will update this story with further significant improvements as they occur! Please read on for a more detailed insight into the specific symptoms which I experienced.
May 2017
UPDATE June 2017
Since writing my story, there have been some huge improvements in my fitness levels and strength. Whilst on holiday, I cycled over 100km in four days including one extremely challenging hill climb of 15% gradient which would have never in my wildest dreams have been possible even a few weeks ago! I am now running up hills without even being out of breath! A year ago I struggled to even walk from the house to the car and was starting to not want to go out because walking was so awkward and painful. Now, my stamina levels during exercise have increased greatly and I am no longer feeling depleted of energy which is incredibly liberating. In fact, I am - for the first time in my life - actually wanting to exercise because it feels so easy! I am continuing with my Pilates program although in a more relaxed manner these days (usually four days a week) and the muscles around my pelvis and buttocks are continuing to strengthen and realign to make walking feel much more balanced from one leg to the other. I have also noticed that my allergy problems (most notably the incessant runny nose first thing in a morning and last thing at night) have vanished completely! Again, this is something which has troubled me since being an infant!
The journey continues...
UPDATE November 2017
Back in June, I found out that I was pregnant with my first child! Whilst this was planned, we never thought it would happen so immediately! To date, the pregnancy has been very easy and straightforward with absolutely no sickness or aches and pains. I am thoroughly delighted and astounded by how well my body is coping with the physical strains of pregnancy. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and feel physically very strong. I also have no doubt that I would not have fell pregnant so easily - if at all - in the state my body was in prior to SAT treatment.
In September, I also achieved something which I had written off ever achieving again - climbing a Munro (a mountain over 3000ft in Scotland)! Here I am at the summit of Ben Wyvis (1046m) whilst five months pregnant!
Two weeks later, I set out on a further mission: to climb THREE Munros in one day! Here I am at the top of the Glen Shee Munros in the Cairngorms! Both walks incorporated not only a climb to height of over 3000ft but also a 14km long walk on each occasion.
Prior to SAT treatment: I had climbed a total of five Munros in my life. Each one brought me to tears I was in so much pain, and incapacitated me for a good week afterwards. As a result, three and a half years ago, I gave up on this ambition of climbing hills because my body simply would not allow me anymore.
Following SAT treatment: I climbed four Munros in the space of two weeks whilst also being five months pregnant! At the end of both climbs I felt just a little fatigued as any normal person would be after a whole day walking up mountains.
What better testament to the effectiveness of SAT treatment to turn around someone's overall health, wellbeing and fitness?
I hope that the above symptoms and the content of My Story resonate with you and that SAT is the correct mode of treatment for you. I wish you the very best of luck in your recovery and hope that it delivers the life changing results it has to me. I have also compiled a leaflet with advice on how to get the most out of SAT treatment - ask Cliff if you would like a copy or print from the links below.

Since there seem to be some readers who are joining this journey a little late, I will make it easy to catch up here: Day One, Day Two, Day Three, Day Four, Day Five, Day Six, Day Seven, Day 8, and Day 9.
Now that you have the whole picture of how this month has gone... you may be wondering about Day 10.
I fell asleep in the rocking chair and just woke up in the shape of a question mark. So, I am tired and sore and really want to go back to bed. But, as my one last act of kindness for the day... I will not leave my millions (handfuls) of followers hanging.
So, today might seem a little anti-climactic, but it was the best reaction I have gotten from someone yet. I have discovered that people are very suspicious of you when you randomly behave kindly. They look at you with a lot of suspicion, like you are about to yell that they just got punked. To be honest, the first reaction a lot of people seem to have is anger. I mean, I get it, nothing ticks me right off like a bunch of kindness, right!? I don't think people are actually angry, I think they are just afraid to get excited because even the smallest act of generosity from a stranger seems like an internet scam in on the horizon.
So, I had to get a few things at the store, and when I was in the checkout line, I bought three Snickers. I paid for all my items, and the cashier was probably a 15 year old kid. He bagged my items and handed me the receipt. I thanked him and said "Oh, but this is actually for you."
I handed him the Snickers and it was as if I gave him the keys to a brand new car. Ha! He just keep saying "No! You serious? Really? Naw, I can't accept that. Really!? It's for me? You can take it, I can't take that from you. Really!? You serious?"
I mean, it got to the point that I felt like I had to tell him that he didn't win the sweepstakes, it was just a candy bar. Then I realized that there is no way that this kid is old enough to know what the sweepstakes were! Then I wondered, what in the world was the sweepstakes!? Now THAT was a random act of kindness. Anyways, so I told him that it wasn't a new car, it was just a candy bar, but that he was doing good work and to keep it up. He really didn't seem like he was going to recover. I pictured the ladies on Extreme Home Makeover that faint when they "move that bus," and then re-faint in each new room. He woulda been a fainter.
The other two Snickers weren't as exciting. I was going to give the second one to a mom with a lot of kids. Mistake #1 in this scenario, never give a single candy bar to someone with many children. Mistake #2, probably shouldn't give it to someone with a peanut allergy. Woops, and woops.
So, I chase this lady down in the parking lot, she has a cart full of kids and she is yelling at one of her kids "Well, if you can't hold on to the receipt, then you can't be my receipt holder anymore!" I know this mom-moment, when you are to the point in your day when you are so frazzled that one more infraction - from your trusted receipt holder, no less - is just enough to push you over the edge into public hysterics. So, I gave her a Snickers. She told me about all the children and their peanut allergies... I felt dumb and said "Welp, are you allergic to peanuts because it was for you! You do all the work right!?" She did not have an allergy to peanuts, and concurred that she did in fact do all the work. She took that candy bar with just enough vindication to take a little edge off her impending insanity.
The third Snickers delivery was a little more work. I was insistent on giving the third one to the grocery cart collector guy. This is a horrible job because 1) it is freezing for most of the year in this part of New York. 2) You have to wear a neon yellow vest for absolutely no reason that I can possibly ascertain. I know that it is a reflector vest, and some will argue that it is for safety... but this is broad daylight and I don't care... I would rather get run over time and again than always have a bulky, neon vest on. The man deserves some candy.
I drove around 'til I caught him, and as soon as I hopped out and started toward him, he zipped away in a motorized cart. I got back in the van and chased him down again. Then I had to go a good bit on foot before I finally gave it to him. He was unimpressed and shoved the Snickers in his hideous vest and peeled out as fast as the motorized cart would take him.
It was nothing remarkable at all. It cost me about $2.50, tops. But, I noticed that I skipped back to my car, and my guess is that the fainter had a pretty good shift after that, too. Not because it was that big of a deal, but because even a small deal can lift our moods and our hearts... and it is so easy, I really do not understand why I haven't been doing this all along. People have paid big prices for our comfortable lives in America, and it just seems silly to be anything but randomly, unnecessarily kind and generous. After being a Christian for most of my life, I hate that I am just now starting to see how simple it is to love another person. I have always thought of myself as someone who would lay my life down for another... but, maybe God doesn't always require us to die for someone else. Maybe, sometimes, He just wants us to buy them candy.

Discussion in 'NDS - Console and Game Discussions' started by Scumisen, Aug 21, 2007.
Just one question, how do you save the game?
you need to find a typewriter, in the big mansion there is one at the stair case
You'll also need ink ribbons to save your game in the typewriters.
you'll need to know how to type too.
I figured it out myself after some playing but thanks anyway!

Oh I can't wait until I can get most of these ingredient from my garden. But until then, I just buy them when they are on sale and make large batches. I love the flavors in this salsa, fresh, tangy, and a little spicy (depending on how many seeds you leave in). It goes great with tacos, as a dip with chips, burritos - ok, pretty much anything that you would add the red salsa to.
1 pound tomatillos
3 jalapeños
1 large onion, quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Aleppo Chile Flakes
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Ground Pepper
Preheat the broiler oven to 500 degrees F. Remove husks from the tomatillos and rinse under warm water to remove the stickiness. Put the jalapeños, garlic, onion and tomatillos on a baking sheet. Coat with the olive oil and salt. Put on a rack about 1 or 2 inches from the heat, and cook, turning vegetables once, until softened and slightly charred, about 5 to 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle peel the garlic and cut off the tops of the jalapeños (this is also the time to take out the seeds if you want less heat from your jalapeños). Add all the broiled ingredients to a blender (be careful when adding hot items and liquid to the blender. If the glass on the blender is cold, it might break). Puree the broiled ingredients along with the fresh cilantro, Aleppo Chile Flakes, and the Cayenne Pepper (and any juice that oozed out of the tomatillos while broiling). Puree until smooth or your desired consistency.
For me this made 2 pint jars of Salsa. But because I couldn't wait til it cooled to test, there are only 1 3/4 jars left :).

These drinks may put you on the naughty list.
No celebration is complete without a signature drink (and a slice of cake). From candy cane cocktails to jingle juice, this menu of options is our holiday gift to you.
Toast the holidays with this gingery-lemon cocktail mixed up by Lauren Conrad. It's even sweeter served in pretty vintage glassware.
Warm up by the fireplace with this boozy (and spicy!) hot chocolate.
Coconut milk gives this festive rum drink its snow-topped appearance.
Sangria season is still in full swing even when the temperature drops — at least that's what we believe.
Here's another wintery update on sangria, featuring cran-apple cider, pomegranate seeds and clementines. It's best consumed from a Mason jar while wearing a plaid flannel shirt.
Before you get to work on your cranberry sauce, save some berries for this festive take on a classic G+T.
Know what's better than hot chocolate after a scrumptious Christmas meal? Hot chocolate with booze in it.
When you add cranberries and rosemary to a Moscow mule, you've got the most festive drink on the planet. Copper mugs are optional but so adorable.
Sometimes you want cookies, and other times you want booze. These are for those occasions.

Tart, tangy and a tad spicy, this cocktail will cleanse your palette before the holiday feast is in full swing.
This is not the mystery elixir you drank at college frat parties. This is jingle juice and it's chock full of everything we love about winter — like citrus, rum and cranberries.
Make a big batch of this crowd favorite and sip on 'em all day long.
Serving a holiday brunch? These will steal the show once everyone tears through presents.
This cocktail's clever presentation (and it's cherry, orange and cranberry flavors!) gives it a spot on Santa's nice list for sure.
What's better than a delicious cocktail paired with a classic Christmas cookie? Nothing. Watch this video to learn how to make the ultimate batch of sugar cookies.
We spiked the punch bowl with a cinnamon-infused simple syrup and whiskey for your holiday sipping pleasure.
Traditionally, a smash is a cocktail that contains seasonal fruit. Since winter is upon us and that's not really an option, throw a little raspberry jam in there and call it a day.
What's better than spending Christmas in the city? This bitter, bourbon cocktail, made with a ginger-cardamom infused syrup. No brainer!

So pretty, so festive. So Instagram-worthy.
These are basically boozy milkshakes. We're into it.
Simple syrup infused with cranberry and orange peels gives this classic Southern cocktail a seasonal twist.
Why yes, we'll take our slice of pie on the rocks.
The first step is making candy cane vodka, which you're going to want to drink all season long.
Hot buttered rum and pumpkin purée is pretty much the only thing we wanna get cozy with this winter.
Make your rum extra Christmasy by freezing leftover eggnog to pop into drinks come January ... when you really need a little joy-to-the-world pick-me-up.
The name says it all. This hot cocktail is the ultimate in holiday indulgence and perfect for evening hangs by the fireplace.
When you need something simple and classic, this lightly fruity gimlet is everything.
Give your winter tea a festive kick. This drink is booze-free, but if you added a splash of whiskey, we wouldn't tell anyone.To make a batch of this spiced soy nog (10 cups worth!), stir 3/4 cup sugar into 3/4 cup boiling water until dissolved. Off heat, add 3 cinnamon sticks; steep 15 minutes. Discard cinnamon; let cool. In pitcher, stir 4 cups chai concentrate, 4 cups apple cider, 2 cups vanilla soy milk and 1 tablespoon cinnamon syrup. Serve hot or cold.
Created by Mariena Mercer, bartender at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas
These shooters taste like peppermint white chocolate, so good luck stopping at one.
Trade in your typical white wine spritzer for something a bit more adventurous — and colorful. To make this tart and tangy cocktail, stir together 1/4 cup Lillet Blanc, 3 tablespoons vodka, 2 tablespoons elderflower liqueur and 2 tablespoons fruit vinegar in a cocktail shaker full of ice. Strain into tall glass filled with ice. Top with seltzer. Makes 1.

That said, I think we've got a decent chance here. First run over fences, but has been schooling well at home and gets in here with just 10-11. Has plenty of course form – albeit over hurdles – but will love the quicker ground and providing his jumping holds up can go well. One of my better chances on the day."

BRISTOL - A 6-4 season may be considered successful for some teams. The St. Paul football program expects more, however, and this year's team has the potential for great improvement.
It all starts in Week 1 against a formidable opponent, Sacred Heart.
Last season in the opening game against Sacred Heart, St. Paul lost 34-22.
St. Paul's defense was exploited through the air and that is something head coach Jude Kelly and his staff worked to fix for this season.
"That was a game that we were really disappointed to lose," senior lineman Dominic Aiello said. "That was a good football team, they have good athletes and they played really good defense. So we're looking forward to competing this game and coming out with a win."
Aiello leads the line unit alongside Eric Langland. Both seniors are expected to play major roles.
The ground game is a strong suit for the Falcons as Damien Rabis and Chris Dionne bring different running styles to the field.
Rabis is more of the speed back and Dionne is a power back.
The two believe they can bring stability to the St. Paul offense and lead them to a successful year.
"We expect to have a good season," Rabis said. "Getting a win Week 1 starts that. Getting our techniques right and getting everybody playing well and doing their job right is important."
Any time defense is brought up the St. Paul players get excited as it is something the team prides itself on. After giving up 34 points to Sacred Heart last season, redemption may not be used around the team but St. Paul is expecting a much better effort defensively.
"Defensively we're all going to come out hard and play the St. Paul style of defense that we're used to," Dionne said.
Dionne is a leader of the senior class. For him and his fellow seniors, game one is a must win if the group hopes to reach that next level.
"All of us seniors want to have the most successful season yet," Dionne said. "We have a small group, there's six or seven of us, and we're all pretty close knit and we just want to lead the team to the best possible outcome."
Starting the season against Sacred Heart will give St. Paul a good indicator of where it stands.
"They've got a lot of kids that are pretty athletic," Kelly said. "The coach does a good job with them. They're motivated and they got some tough kids. They're good, both offensively and defensively."
Kelly is expecting his group of seniors to set the tone early on, especially on the line.
"Hopefully the seniors are ready to rise to the occasion," Kelly said. "We have two outstanding seniors that are lineman. Dominic Aiello and Eric Langland so I'm counting on them because with this offense it all starts with the offensive line so those guys gotta do their job."
At quarterback, Kevin Ashworth will again start this season. After a full season under his belt running the wishbone offense, Kelly is expecting a big step forward from Ashworth as he can use his athleticism to run the ball but also has the arm strength to air it out downfield.
On the practice field, a sense of excitement and urgency is evident as St. Paul hopes to not only win the NVL but also make a statement in the postseason chase.

For some, surfing is rather an attitude to life, a whole way of living, than a mere sport or leisure activity. Living and experiencing the scenery at the beach in a place like Tel Aviv, this becomes more than understandable. With the beach right in front of the city, dozens, sometimes hundreds of surfers occupy the beaches and the water. With regard to borderland, the actual area where this happens is of interest. The surfers mainly use the zone where the protected beach-bays open up to the sea, literally swaying between the safe urban space and the open sea.
Source: Google Earth; assembled: borderlandlevant – The beach-bays as borderzone
Repeatedly paddling towards the open sea, waiting for the right wave, then jumping on the board and letting the wave bring you back to the city is an interesting movement pattern. It is like operating from a safe haven, constantly seeking the unknown, the "elsewhere", only to being brought back by both nature and the own desire for a safe ground.
© borderlandlevant – Sunset at Gordon Beach, Tel Aviv
As many surfers consider their sport as the most important thing in life, the sport itself seems to know no borders. Surfriding is international and people who practice it quickly get talking to their fellows, irrespective of their origin, nationality, or any other attribution. Hence, it was just a matter of time that surfing entered the Arab-Israeli conflict. With Gaza city only a couple of miles further down the Mediterranean coast, another city is blessed with the sea just at its doorstep. Facing the most wonderful sunsets, both cities have their beaches towards the west, but not both populations have the freedom to enjoy this situation in the same manner.

Back in 2007, Dorian Paskowitz, a Jewish "surfing guru" form Hawaii, decided to donate 12 surfboards to surfers in Gaza in order for them to enjoy the beauty of their beaches as much as their Tel Aviv-Jaffa peers do. Together with Arthur Rashkovan and Kelly Slater, Doran and his son David in the same year founded Surfers 4 Peace, an organisation aiming to "bridge cultural and political barriers between surfers in the Middle East". While this harmless donation seems to have passed the Israeli blockage easily, another such initiative needed considerably more patience to actually reach their goal. Coming up with always new justifications, Israeli authorities denied the delivery of surfboards into the Gaza Strip, organised by the Explore Corps, for two years until 2010. One starts to wonder why it´d be a threat to Israel to allow surfboards into the Gaza Strip.

Maybe it is again related to the border. While it wouldn´t be a wonder if the one or the other surfer from Gaza actually used the board to escape the situation in her or his city, for Tel Aviv´s surfers, riding the waves is a popular way of using the border-zone as an exciting playground.

Shh....... That is what i need at the moment. Silence. Freedom from noise. Freedom not from the external noise, but freedom from the internal noise. Freedom from the perennial noise that exists within me. The noise of ego, expectations, fear and disappointments. The noise which keeps playing and replaying the loud egotistical and fear driven conversations in my head. The noise that skews my sense of self and that of the world around me.
And isn't it paradoxical that whenever we are feeling down, we are told to party, hang-out, go shopping, get a make-over and blah blah blah... Resorting to the external noise to get rid of the internal noise. While these can be the temporary solutions but can't lead to the permanent blissful state of freedom from internal noise.
Distractions come easy. So, everyone buys the distractions of external noise to silence the voice within. Distractions lead us to a state of limbo. But Meditation will bring the answers.

The Process of an Internal Combustion Engine
English 110
Process Essay
Process of a 4-stroke Internal Combustion Engine
A common phrase that is heard whilst growing up is "curiosity killed the cat". This phrase might be true but; "ingenuity brought the cat back". Having a mindset in which giving up is never an option has plagued most inventors of the modern day, especially a high school drop out named Nikolaus August Otto, born in 1832. Otto was responsible for the development and improvement of the 4-stroke motor that is used today in just about every automobile on the road. Many people drive cars but fail to realize how they work, and don't try to learn about engines because they think it is complex, and not an easy concept to grasp. Air, fuel, spark, and combustion are the premise of an internal combustion engine. A simplistic view on an internal combustion engine is outlined below. The first step in an internal combustion engine is to acquire all the attributes to create combustion in a chamber. The necessary air flows through the air filter (usually a conical shaped, micro filament, located in either the front right or left of the engine bay). After the air is sucked into the filter it passes through some tubing until it reaches the mass air sensor. The mass air sensor does exactly what it says, senses the amount of air flow and converts it into a signal or number which then is used to determine the amount of fuel to be delivered. The air and fuel must be at a regulated ratio for maximum gas mileage and power efficiency. Next the air goes through the throttle body, this mechanism regulates the amount of air let into the lower half of the engine, and this is attached to the accelerator (gas pedal) by a cable. The further the gas pedal is depressed, the greater amount of air that is let into the engine, which results in faster acceleration. The air is then sucked into the intake manifold where all the air is divided into the amount of cylinders the car has (4, 6, 8, 12)....

a defecal is a plumbing fixture used for collecting & then disposing of defecation (p–p). it is a portmanteau of the words, "defecate" and, "urinal".
the defecal is a bit like a urinal — only the defecal is used solely for taking a plop. if you p-ss into a defecal, it will require maintanence — much as a urinal would if you drop a deuce into it.
hey james, this defecal is f-cked up; some true-blue total -sshaberdasher must have p-ssed into it! any idea where another one is cause i really have to leave a sh-t!

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 114447
exit system call does not exit though process in status end and parent waits
Last modified: 2007-04-18 13:02:16 EDT
Description of problem:
It sometimes happens, that a process is in the system call
exit(), is in status end (according to ps -o ...,wchan,...),
the parent has called wait4... but it's child does not end.
This is very annoying problem. It seems to depend on the
kernel version, how often it happens. With
2.4.18-27 and earlier it happened sometimes, say every
1000th program started on 200 machines (i.e. statistically
every 200000th process). With 2.4.20-8 it happened every
some 100th process on one machine i.e. every 500th process.
With 2.4.20-20 we didn't see it for quite some time. With
2.4.20-28 the problem is back with about the same rate
like with 2.4.18-27. The machines are all dual processors.
The problem occurs with heavily nonlinear increasing
likelyness with increasing processor speed. From 2.8 GHz Xeon
or faster it happens MUCH more often than on slower machines.
More experiences, whose significance is unclear:
It seems only to happen when the processes are started as
sub-processes (with some shells inbetween) of rshd. Often
the problem occurred when installing RPMs with the rpm
Command. I've seen a very interesting behaviour here: Whether
the problem showed up depended on the current working directory
where the rpm program started. This way the exit hung nearly
every time:
(pwd is e.g. /)
rpm -i <options> /path/to/some/NFS/directory/kernel-some-version.rpm
but this way it worked:
cd /path/to/some/NFS/directory && rpm -i <options> kernel-some-version.rpm
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
see above
How reproducible:
spread lots of jobs using rsh to a lot of machines
Steps to Reproduce:
1.see above, sorry, that i don't provide rsh using scripts and so on here
Actual results:
with a certain probability exit does not return
Expected results:
exit returns, parent gets exit data through some wait
Additional info:
see above.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem

Evening all,
It has been a very busy weekend....but I have just been sat in front of the computer all weekend! Yup, I have been editing the latest wedding shoot I had!
Took a break (for the sake of my eyes!) and was lucky enough to get an incredible sunset.
I need to get back to editing - so if you want camera setup details etc. for any of the shots, please comment!
Much love

Charlotte Tillbury La Dolce Vita Look Gift Box
Just look at this beauty. I am pretty sure I won't get this (ever), but a girl can dream, can't she? This has the most beautiful eyeshadow quad in the world, eyeliner, mascara, blush, lip liner, a lipstick (the only part I don't actually think I would - the color is too pale), and a lipgloss. I wish they had used another lip colour, otherwise this set would be perfect. Maybe I'll just settle for the eyeshadow quad!
Jack Wills Maynestone Sweatpants
I basically live in sweatpants when I'm home. The first thing I want to do after work, so get changed and slip on some sweatpants. I don't have a pair of nice sweatpants right now, so anything like these comfy grey ones from Jack Wills would make me happy.
Zoeva Rose Golden Luxury Set
I've already featured this in a wish list before (for my birthday!) and I have yet to get my hands on it. It's such a beautiful brush set, I think I might try to get it in the New Year if it's not under the tree this year. I have all the RT brushes, but I'd love to have these - mainly because they're so pretty to look at.
Vince Camuto "Karita" Boots
I spotted these a few weeks ago at Kurt Keiger, and wow. Just wow. I've always wanted a pair of knee-high boots like these, flat and with the elastic backing to them so they fit just snug enough. These look so beautiful and they come in my size as well! Maybe Kurt Geiger will have some kind of amazing sale after Christmas, who knows? I just know these would look good with everything, and they actually look comfortable.
Kate Spade Pretty Little Thing iPhone case
The rose gold trend will never die, will it? Not for blogger anyway. It's the best shade of gold! This case is slim, trendy, and super cute. I have a cute case on my phone right now, but this would make it look so much classier. Plus, kate Spade can do no wrong, everything she designs is beautiful.
1989 by Taylor Swift
This actually the vinyl version of her latest album, and I'm so glad Miss Swift still releases her albums in vinyl! It isn't out yet, but rumours say that it'll come out before Christmas and oh my god! I have been obsessed with this album, more than the last few ones. Plus, all of the songs are great to sing along, and I haven't been tired of listening to any of them since the album has come out.
Well, that's my wishlist for now! I could have also added some Yankee Candles (the fruity, not sweet kind), slippers (always a good idea), pyjamas, a subscription to Grazia, a subscription to any beauty box, and gift cards! Cinema gift cards are always really good, because I love going to the movies, but it's so expensive here in Britain.

If there's one thing we should all firmly believe, especially when it comes to food it's 'you get what you pay for.' We don't mind spending a few extra pennies on beautiful free range eggs or
some luxurious organic butter because we know only too well that having the best ingredients DOES make all the difference. You can be for certain that our cakes comprise of nothing but the best
ingredients and some love too.
All our cakes are weighed, mixed, baked, assembled by hand with the utmost attention and highest standards. We take quality control very seriously and will never sell anything but the best products.
All of ours jars are sterilised and sealed air tight. When stored in the fridge, our cakes will stay yummy for up to 10 days. This would be more than long enough to keep a jar or two in the fridge for those cheeky weeknight movies!

Chris has been a great dude to know in NYC. His work is inspiring for me and others and his recent trip back to SF merited some gorgeous photos. Take these two for example. Jason Maggied's Raleighframa painted in black and the bike getting rad down California street.
Awesome shots Chris! Follow his work here, at his Flickr. You need a Tumblr dude!
