We all have those moments where we resist the mat, perhaps every day? The discipline of daily practice is not an easy one but what it will give you is a map of how your mind resists. Then there are other times when all our body wants to do is rest. Kate Blake shares her recent experiences with mat resistance.
I've had a tricky few weeks with my health – a few minor crashes have left me with even less energy than usual so there have been no challenging asanas being held here. Simon, my husband has been away.
This makes daily life more difficult for me and also had a surprise impact on my yoga practice.
If you have read my previous posts you will know that since January when we joined MFML, Simon and I have been practising yoga every morning, and that mostly he follows the classes and I do my own thing joining in with the teacher when I can. Suddenly, with him away, I was doing our morning yoga practice on my own.
It was a bit like comfortably growling at the back of the choir for weeks and suddenly been asked to sing solo.
I started confidently, excited by the challenge of trying some new classes that were just for me and using the filters to select a class which I thought would be suitable for my abilities. But it wasn't! And there was no hiding from it, as I couldn't just do my own thing while Simon did it 'properly' beside me.
I'll be honest with you I got upset and I got angry – a real case of mat rage.
I tried again with another class and another but it was no good. Yes, of course, had I kept my calm, I could have done one of the classes which I had already identified last month as great classes for my level. But the achiever in me had been determined to try something new, to succeed and to move on. And I was reacting with anything but calm.
But, as I fought the mat, I realised how important a lesson it was teaching me. I was being confronted by my limitations which I always find difficult.
I talked to myself more kindly. "Isn't yoga all about learning about your body, its apparent limitations and its possibilities? Isn't this true for everyone who practises? Maybe other – healthy – people also occasionally experience this feeling of fighting the mat. Maybe this is normal?"
I listened to the lesson and I listened to my body and I asked it what it needed. It needed kindness. It needed nourishing. It needed a break from pushing and to get its confidence back.
So I gave it Yoga Nidra and breathing.
Here are my top three go to classes for when your body just needs attention, nourishment and rest.
Kirsty Norton's Yoga Nidra class 'Embrace your Essence: Receive' is the perfect way to nourish your body when you are feeling overwhelmed. She makes it feel both OK to need it, and wise to practise it. Her invitation to a time of "No shoulds, woulds and coulds" starts the letting go process for me.
The focus she gives to sensing the energy and "radiant vibration" makes this a nourishing practice for me than a simple body scan.
The Sankalpa she offers as a suggestion is the perfect antidote to an achieving mindset. I remember the first time I heard this it was a laugh out loud with surprise and relief moment for me to realise that my Sankalpa could be way of being rather than goal orientated!
Her light and gentle voice is perfect for this practice. Kindness itself!
I also love Graham Burns' Yoga Nidra class. His three 'rules' in his introduction instantly invoke a sense of relief and state of relaxation in me.
It allows my achiever part to sit back and then let go. A massive achievement!
I always like to get straight into Savasana at the start and re-listen to his introductory talk. With his mellow calming voice, it helps me into a state of relaxation and focus. This way I get the most out of the class as well as reminding me of my intentions. It's a gentle practice which leaves me feeling better.
Finally Mimi Kuo-Deemer's Qigong breathing is another class which has become part of my daily routine. Her five part breathing class 'leading toward' embryonic breath is my go to breathing routine day and night.
The 'intentional' breathing in and from particular parts of the body gives my mind a powerful hook than simply following my breath.
When she talks about the sun warming the water and the water cooling the sun, I am transported to the Lake District watching the sun burn the early morning mist off a glassy lake – bliss!
At each stage of the practice I find myself dropping one step further into a state of profound focus and relaxation and always finish feeling so much calmer and quieter. Although I use this practice a lot on my own, taking it back to the mat and following Mimi's beautiful voice makes the practice even sweeter and more profound.
I am no yogi, only a very beginner, but it seems to me now that I started this post by saying there had been no challenging asanas here this month. But maybe there have?
Maybe sometimes, just getting on the mat is a challenge.
Certainly lying still and letting go of everything to focus on your breath can be a massive challenge!
So I'm going to feel ok about having no amazing new classes to tell you about this month. I went back to basics. But it was good and just what my body needed. Maybe I can take another lesson from this.
Maybe it's not always important to be moving on, maybe it's sometimes important just to allow yourself to stay where you are for the moment and be ok with it. Maybe that's yoga too.

Back at the beginning of the summer, over 1,500 young people came together for a week-long interdenominational church camp called Wired 2016. Taking place in the Wiregrass region of Dothan, Alabama, Wired involves morning and evening worship sessions, bible teaching and community service, not to mention a whole lot of fun! To create the right atmosphere for the energetic worship meetings, local production company Premier Entertainment Group designed and supplied an impressive stage-set and lighting rig that featured numerous ADJ and Elation Professional fixtures.
Wired is aimed at young people in sixth to twelfth grade and has grown rapidly over the past six years from an initial gathering of just 200-300 to this year's record attendance of 1,600. Dave Guiler of Premier Entertainment Group has supplied the event since its inception and has seen his company grow alongside Wired. After starting out as a DJ business 14 years ago, Premier now offers event production as well as sound, lighting and video installation services, specializing in churches and church events.
The venue for the main worship and sermon sessions of Wired 2016 was the 3,100-seat Dothan Civic Center. With input from the event's Producer, Tim Flowers, and Dave's business partner, lighting designer Stephen Krietemeyer, the Premier Entertainment Group team installed an impactful stage, sound, lighting and video system that provided the backdrop to the week's sessions which culminated in a large Friday evening Community Celebration event. For this, members of the local community were invited to join the Wired 2016 youngsters for an evening of worship that completely filled the venue, a fitting end to an action-packed week.
When it came to planning the lighting system for the event, Dave and his team automatically turned to ADJ and Elation Professional, having been long-time users of the companies' fixtures. Eight Vizi Spot 5R units were mounted in pairs above the stage-set to create downward-facing mid-air looks and GOBO projections to provide texture on the stage. These were complimented by an additional eight Vizi Beam 5R fixtures which were positioned on the floor of the stage to generate punchy beam effects shooting upwards behind the worship band as well as for washing the stage using the inbuilt Frost Filter.
Having owned Vizi Spot and Beam fixtures for three years now, Dave is very happy both with their power and features as well as their reliability. "They are really impressive fixtures", he told us, "and we've had very minimal issues with them. When we do have a little problem, getting parts from ADJ is very easy and quick, which is fantastic. Every time we've dealt with ADJ, the service has always been top notch. That's why we've continued to buy ADJ, investing more recently in Hex Bars."
The stage set itself consisted of tall and thin video panels interspersed with textured semi-transparent aluminum mesh sections supported by truss pillars. To illuminate these backdrop elements, Dave used his newly-purchased ADJ Ultra Hex Bars with their 10-Watt 6-in-1 Hex LEDs incorporating UV. These versatile fixtures were also used as footlights to illuminate the musicians on stage as well as for ambient up-lighting, with a grand total of 32 of the units used across the production.
For down-lighting the stage the Premier Entertainment Group team selected SixPar 200 LED par fixtures from the range of ADJ's sister company Elation professional. A total of 24 of the units were positioned above the stage and also on trusses located to either side of the stage which were fixed to the top of Global Truss ST-180 18' crank stands. These fixtures were used to illuminate the audience, providing more atmospheric lighting than was offered by the venue's house lights in order to envelop the audience in what was happening on stage.
For added wow-factor, the lighting setup on stage was augmented by four Elation Professional Lumina Matrix units, which each incorporate 16 individually controllable 7W warm white LEDs mounted in halogen-look reflectors. This allowed for interesting chases as well as impactful audience blinder effects to be integrated into the lightshow.
"Every time we've dealt with ADJ, the service has always been top notch. That's why we've continued to buy ADJ!" - Dave Guiler, Premier Entertainment Group
Overall, the stage set and lighting effects looked stunning and provided the perfect background for the sets from guest worship leader Jared Wood and his band. Hailed as a big success by the organizers, Dave and his team, as well as the hundreds of young people in attendance, we at ADJ are proud to have helped bring pure lighting excitement to Wired 2016 and look forward to continuing to support Premier Entertainment Group with future installs and events.

If you haven't read my previous entries :
Went for my 2nd visit to DRx Clinic on the 11th of January 2013! I realized that I've been pronouncing DRx incorrectly. I kept saying "Doctor-X", when it's actually "D-R-X". So embarrassing! *nervous laugh*
Replenished some of the products that I've used up, namely the Toner, Acne Spot Lotion, Blemish Care Cleanser and Spironolactone medicine.
If you haven't seen my vlog review of all the products I got :
The consultation with Dr David Ng this time was more of a review session. Dr David took out a file containing my information and pictures the consultant took of me on my previous visit to compare my condition then and before. Similar to my first visit, there was a consultant in the room with me listening to the conversation between Dr David and I!
Everything was normal since the last visit; no allergies or weird syndromes happening to me. I was pleased to hear that my condition improved despite some new pimples popping out (due to the monthly woman thingy). Was told to go for facial, cut down on medicine intake, and to use the same products continuously for now.
Here's a comparison of my skin condition that I took before (30 November 2012) and recently (11 January 2013). No make up no Photoshop :
Though my skin is not that "perfect" yet, improvements can be seen right! Skin is not so clogged up. Even my family and friends noticed some difference. They say "beautiful skin is a blank canvas for beautiful make up". I really detest putting on make up because no matter what I put on my skin, it still looks horrible on me. So I aim to achieve being able to put on "paint" nicely on my skin in the future!
Had my picture taken again before I left the clinic. I think it's a necessity for everyone to take photos with every visit so that their Doctor can keep track on improvements. Oh, and by the way! I will be pampering myself with a facial treatment tomorrow at the The DRx Medispa. I really cannot wait for it! Will update you all about my experience. ;D

Preach, teach, and practice biblical holiness
Our first responsibility is to get people to see discipleship as a ministry, not a program. Many congregations believe that discipleship is nothing more than a class to take. We don't have a discipleship program. Discipleship is the fulfillment of the Great Commission—making disciples.
Programs begin large and eventually become small. Ministry starts small and becomes large. If you have a program, people see it as your program. If they see discipleship as a ministry that God has called them to, they invest themselves in it.
True discipleship is an investment of your life with another person by studying the Bible, praying, believing in the importance of the fellowship of believers, sharing your faith, and winning someone to the Lord.
Provide continuing discipleship opportunities for believers of all ages
Discipleship includes the entire body of Christ in ministry. At our church, discipleship is self-perpetuating. We invest in someone else so they become true disciplers themselves, and then invest in another.
Develop small groups and small group leaders
When we began discipleship, we started with just one man. I went to a discipleship conference and God showed me the biblical mandate of discipleship. I began working with two other couples and my wife. From that group of six, we began discipling others. When they discipled someone and that person grew mature in the faith, then they became disciplers themselves.
Every two weeks disciplers report the results of their discipling. We ask them if they believe their student is ready to become a discipler. This discipleship process can take from six months to two years.
Provide discipleship materials to guide believers into Christian maturity
There are many dynamics in church growth. Discipleship has been the foundation of growth at our church, not only in numbers, but also in ministries that reach into the community and the world. People have become aware of the necessity to build believers.
We provide the materials, the tools, and the training for disciples to grow in our church. We work with individuals until they become established in their faith. Because of this, we have a higher retention rate. Disciples have learned how to fight the spiritual fight, and they have learned how to find the areas in which God would want them to work in the life of this congregation.
Prepare young people for a life of faith and service
Discipleship has helped everyone in our congregation learn to minister, even without formal theological training. They may not be the pastor, but they can do ministry. In the Word of God, we are all called to be the body of Christ.
Equip clergy and laity
We have a young man, who over seven years, has developed and grown to the point that we have called him to be our minister of discipleship and outreach. We have a woman who has been with us a year and made a commitment to the Lord. We placed her in a discipleship relationship with another Christian. Soon this woman began to disciple her husband and best friend. Both were eventually brought to personal relationships with the Lord. Through being discipled, she became a discipler.
We also sponsor a discipleship conference for pastors in the community and around the nation. This event features noted speakers and offers encouragement and practical handles on beginning discipleship ministries. Our congregation is committed to discipleship.

SAS: Who Dares Wins star Ant Middleton to launch 'bounty' survival show Mutiny which 'puts Bear Grylls' The Island to shame'
Middleton sets sail on an epic 4,000 mile expedition for the new Channel 4 show
HE has risked life and limb serving three tours of Afghanistan and passed the gruelling five-month SAS selection process at the first attempt.
But TV star ANT MIDDLETON says his latest challenge was the hardest yet and he walks the walk and talks the talk — unlike rival BEAR GRYLLS.
Ant, who made his name as the lead instructor of Channel 4's SAS: Who Dares Wins, is recreating an epic 4,000-mile expedition for his new show Mutiny.
Asked if his show is harder than rival The Island hosted by Bear, he said: "There's no comparison. It's massively harder.
"He's a great guy and what he does is inspirational but we're putting it all on the line.
"Where I'm a bit different to Bear is I'm willing to strip myself down to my bare bones and go, 'chuck it at me'.
"I talk a good talk but I walk a better walk.
"That's where I feel comfortable — you've got to be in the mix or I'm not interested."
The new show, which starts on March 6 on Ch4, sees Ant lead a group of nine men to recreate one of the greatest survival feats in British history.
He is taking on the role of Captain William Bligh, who was forced out on to a life boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in 1789 after the famous mutiny on his ship HMS Bounty.
Bligh and a small crew survived brutal storms and reefs on the tiny 23ft wooden vessel, travelling thousands of miles to find land.
Ant and Co are now following their path using Bligh's journal.
Dann takes a shine to sales role
DANNII MINOGUE is really taking her work seriously – by letting in shine in this slinky silk dress.
The talent show judge's turquoise outfit outshone the rest of the red carpet at the BBC Worldwide Showcase in Liverpool.
The event aims to sell Beeb shows to overseas TV execs.
Dannii has been brutally honest alongside pal GARY BARLOW and MARTIN KEMP as they pick the boyband for the TAKE THAT musical on Let It Shine.
Someone had to be.
James back on track
In a desperate bid to improve on last year's flop relaunch, Top Gear bosses pinched the celebrity booker from The One Show.
And the move has paid off, as I can reveal actor JAMES McAVOY, will be the first guest on the new series.
The X-Men and Split star is due to be filmed racing around the show's track today in an attempt to beat his lap time from 2013, when he last appeared.
That was the year after MATT LeBLANC, who now fronts the show with CHRIS HARRIS and RORY REID, showed his future bosses what he could do when he topped the celebrity leaderboard.
The Scots actor will be the only guest in that episode, after CHRIS EVANS's disastrous changes saw two guests being interviewed like a chat show.
An insider said: "The idea of two guests an episode that Chris came up with last year didn't work so they've gone back to the original format under JEREMY CLARKSON."
It comes as Matt delivers a pitch to 700 global TV execs today to try to sell the show around the world.
Tragic Steve's Bafta
I was very sad to hear that leading broadcaster Steve Hewlett died on Monday.
The BBC Radio 4 presenter and former Panorama editor passed away at London's Royal Marsden Hospital after bravely speaking about his battle with cancer.
And now Bafta has revealed it recently gave the journalist a special award.
A spokesman said: "We are deeply saddened to learn that Steve has passed away.
"Bafta's Board of Trustees had recently honoured Steve with a Special Award for his outstanding contribution to British broadcasting, and he was delighted to have been awarded it.
"Regretfully, he had yet to formally receive it and it will now be given to his family."
Others who have received the award include respected documentary maker PETER TAYLOR and cookery star DELIA SMITH.
Steve's death is a huge loss as he was a thoroughly decent man.
I'm pleased he has been formally recognised for his long career.
NICK TILSLEY loves Leanne Battersby so much that he has agreed to pretend her baby is his, even though it is really Steve McDonald's.
But his fiancée manages to repay him in the worst way possible in CORONATION STREET tonight.
After baby Oliver's arrival, proud "dad" Nick wants to make things official as soon as possible and books an appointment the next day to register the birth.
However, Leanne is left feeling increasingly uncomfortable and makes the shocking decision not to include Nick's name on the birth certificate.
Meanwhile on HOLLYOAKS, Joel and Shane's secret connection sparks suspicion in the village.
If anyone is set to uncover the truth it's sure to be Sienna.

University of Toronto EWH Chapter Hosts 3rd Annual Symposium
Written by Jen Ma, with the University of Toronto EWH Chapter:
The University of Toronto's third annual Engineering World Health symposium, themed Origins and Opportunities, hosted a number of speakers and workshops to share innovative ideas about world health. Engineers and non-engineers alike were drawn to the full-day event and enjoyed speaker-sessions, panel discussions, interactive workshops as well as a networking lunch and poster session.
Throughout the symposium, a common theme emerged as speakers, regardless of their backgrounds, placed a particular emphasis on studying the context of the problem along with its technical aspects to eventually create an effective solution. This knowledge is best acquired by hands-on experience through collaborations, volunteering, and fieldwork. It also became apparent that there is no limit in age or background–with enough drive, we are all capable of making an impact on Global Health!
The poster session gave students an opportunity to showcase their research and interact with attendees from differing backgrounds. It was wonderful to see the genuine interest in global health work and to observe the innovative research being performed at the University of Toronto. Congratulations to this year's poster winners, Bryan Gellner and Pengzhou Lu, for their presentation on Normothermic Ex Vivo Heart Perfusion!
We were fortunate to have the support of multiple organizations and student groups, who were on hand to inform students about other potential opportunities to participate in global health related activities. We are immensely grateful to our sponsors, as well as the speakers, moderators, and poster judges that made this thought-provoking day of discovery and discussion a reality. We'd also like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of the Symposium Organizing Committee, who volunteered their time (and sanity) to make this event a success.
After a morning of inspiring speakers, symposium attendees enjoyed lunch and a poster session, followed by workshops. The Origins workshop What's Your Problem?! – Tackling challenges in complex healthcare systems, led by consultant Jessica Fan, involved an interactive brainstorm session to explore problems in healthcare to identify a common issue. This workshop emphasized the importance to identify the root cause of a problem and find a resolution as opposed to treating the symptoms of an issue. Fan introduced a 3 stage process: distinguish problems and their common denominator, identify the stakeholders and understand their needs through the "empathy pathway", then redefine the problem.
The Opportunities workshop, titled Ideation and Designing for Healthcare, was led by Lily Lo and Hadi Salah from MaRS and Hacking Health. The participants broke into small groups to practise systematic strategies and come up with ideas improving healthcare. One memorable exercise was writing down questions that challenged the status quo–why do we have to go to the doctor? Why do we have to go to grocery stores to buy food? Why can't we grow our own food?–and imagining potentially better approaches. Other strategies were explored, such as simulating the life of a hypothetical patient to generate ideas for better patient care and using the "fast idea generator" as a tool to think differently and systematically for more effective idea generation.
Speakers in the afternoon Opportunities session included pioneers in the exciting fields of regenerative medicine, synthetic biology, and biomedical engineering. They also commented on the future opportunities and challenges of their field of research.
At the conclusion of this year's Symposium, we've grown to appreciate the immense support for global health initiatives within the UofT community. Next year, we will return, armed with new knowledge and ready to take on the world once again. We hope to see you there!
Thanks to the Toronto Chapter for sharing their work with us! Read more about the Symposium's speakers and events: https://ewhuoft.wordpress.com/

USA LEADS TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP, BRITISH AND GERMAN RIDERS TOP INDIVIDUAL TESTS by Louise Parkes
Lexington, 6 October – The host nation took the early lead in the Vaulting Championships at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, USA today where Germany's Gero Meyer headed up the Male Individual and Great Britain's Joanne Eccles topped the Female Individual competition.
Today's tests were all based around the seven compulsory movements and the US team horse, Palatine, with lunger Carolyn Bland at the end of the line, helped the Americans to rack up a winning score of 7,207. Germany lies second after the first day, with Austria in third ahead of Switzerland, France, Slovakia and Brazil.
The British team had to settle for eighth place, with Australia in ninth, while South Africa rounded up the top 10 nations. A total of 20 countries are represented by teams in the FEI World Vaulting Championship.
Defending World Champion, Kai Vorberg from Germany, posted a second-place spot in the Male Individual contest when fellow-countryman Gero Meyer came out on top. Meyer scored 8,401 against Vorberg's 8,297 while Switzerland's Patric Looser slotted into third.
"I'm absolutely satisfied, especially with the second part of the compulsories – the scissors, stand and flank," said Meyer afterwards. "The first part I had a little more trouble," he explained. "It was more difficult because my horse was very energetic. He was doing his job very well, but it was a bit hard for me to sit on the horse while I'm doing the mills, for example. I lost balance for a fraction of a second, and I had to correct myself. But all in all I'm very satisfied."
He pointed out that this World Championship is a particularly special one for him. "2010 will be my last (World Championship) and is an event I've worked for not only one year. I really wanted to be here and I got here, so I'm very happy," he added.
Vorberg was also happy with his performance. "I made everything sure and brought it home this round. There were some really good moves which I could do better. You never know what happens, and you never know what you will get, so I'm satisfied. Scissors were quite good, the stand and flank not as good as I can do, but it could be worse!"
Joanne Eccles, who claimed the Individual title at the 2009 European Championships, is one of the favourites to take Female Individual gold. As usual she shared her horse, W H Bentley, with her sister Hannah, and to round up the family affair their father, John, is their lunger. Hannah had to settle for 16th place, but Joanne's score of 8,157 wasn't beaten all afternoon and she goes into tomorrow's competition ahead of Germany's Simone Wiegele in second and America's Megan Benjamin in third.
An elated Joanne said; "It went really well – that was my best mount yet! I got good jump from the surface and there's nothing in the routine which I'm instantly disappointed with. I've been practicing the compulsory moves as it's my weakest area and built up to this so I'm really pleased. I know there's pressure on me to do well but I know what I can do, I just have to go out there and do it!" she pointed out.

14 competitors lined out in the Male Individual Test.
Stefen Csandl AUT – 4th in Male Individual today – "We have trained the last four years especially for Kentucky because it was our big wish and our big dream to come here and compete together as a team. We have our horse for two years and it was great that he was calm as he could be. It was perfect. He's very young for the sport; he's only been vaulting for two years. If all the rounds go like this it's perfect – I couldn't wish for more."

Michigan Disability Rights Coalition
The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition (MDRC) is an organization that has been around since 1982, helping people with disabilities. MDRC is a disability justice movement working to transform communities. MDRC's vision is to "work to build opportunities for people with disabilities so they may live fully integrated lives within their chosen communities, now and in the future." Along with more than 15 independent living facilities across Michigan, the organization offers leadership training for individuals with disabilities and supports people who are already leaders with disabilities. "The Michigan Assistive Technology Program (MATP) offers a series of web conferences, 'webinars' on assistive technology topics," says Norman G. DeLisle Jr., the Executive Director at the Michigan Disability Rights Coalition. "We usually get somewhere between 30 to 40 people to watch." The MDRC also helps people with disabilities receive loans in order to get things that would improve their lives in positive ways, including loans for hearing aids, vans with lifts or special bathrooms. "Our loans can range from $200 to $30,000 depending on the person's needs," says DeLisle. MDRC doesn't directly help people with their issues, but instead helps people to find a solution. They help people spend more time receiving the help or treatment rather than looking for it. MDRC assists people in finding health care plans that will work for people with disabilities. Much of MDRC's role is to be a part of all health care policy changes because of the impact these changes have on the community. A number of people have had to struggle for adequate health care, spending more time finding help then getting it. MDRC promotes health care reform that makes it easier for people to get the help they need. They also get involved in health care on a local, state and sometimes national level.

The weekend is here a chance to recoup and connect with my foodie drive. I've kept myself local today and this feels very much a decadence. Earthy the local foodie emporium. I look up to see the lollipop pop lady who serves the nearby primary school, I know she lives closer than I so I shouldn't feel to guilty!
I've been to the butchers across the road, stewing lamb for a Rogan Josh (my Indian course on Tuesday) and pork chops for the Nigel dish I have planned for tea. The boys are out sporting and amazingly I've carved out the morning to myself.
Earthy is one of those places that's had to grow and adapt as it got more and more popular and sits in my if you do things right people will pay and come bracket. It's a ram shackled place off the beaten track so you would be forgiven for just walking by, maybe in a previous life a garage or warehouse from the 60's. Open brick and steel girders, reclaimed wood for the counters, solid wood tables and benches should give you a feel for the place. The scones, the salads, the cakes, the quiches all look home made on the premises with a very relaxed wholesome and urban feel.
My wife always on the hunt for a good scone tipped me off that they were good here and today was my time to try (although I think I'll be in trouble for trying without her!). The humble flour, raisin and butter concoction is taken to another level here with addition of pistachios, chopped into wedges the size just shy of a small builders brick was something to behold. It arrived warm …..enough said. The coffee brewed by the Italian style Electra was good not to strong I only wish I'd gone large to keep up with the pace of the scone.
I'd love to linger longer, it's quiet today, to have another coffee and while the morning away. The home list is long and I promised I'd take care of lunch. The beauty of this place is that I can now pop upstairs and get a few extra things. I'm hoping to find a squash or pumpkin to roast. The kind that smacks of good wholesome growing, not the kind that are engineered for Halloween!

Staff were first class. Hotel looks a little tired, but good location and was fine for 1 night.
Location great, staff kind, I'll recommend it
Great location!
The hotel kindly held our bags for the day after checkout. When we returned for the bags, I was surprised to find a sweater I had forgotten to pack neatly folded and placed with my bag. Many thanks to the lovely housekeeping staff who took care to return my sweater. Hotel is pleasantly situated in town and only 2 blocks from beaches, with all necessary shops within a few blocks. Very nice stay.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Yeah... well you live and learn... $750 crash deposit and the end of my day... Now I am looking for my own track bike... Like a GSX-R750
|choped throttle, I never thought of that. it happen to me once on the street a dog came out of no where and I choped but my weight contuined foward. but luckly I regain controll . LOL my ass was probley puckered to the seat LOL no skill was involved
Since the video is not all that great, I will give my own commentary.
So I was on the Racing Line hitting a late apex on this 180degree corner.
The bike in front of me took a wide line, so I figured I would go inside and get a good drive. To my surprise, the person came back over and was doing about 10mph slower than I.
If you look carefully I just chop the throttle as I am about to slam into him (From my view I was only a foot away, but I had more room).
The bike I was on relay was not set up for my FAT ASS, and I had the suspension totally crushed under my weight.
With this, I just put a bit to much on the front wheel and it tucked on me. Moral of the story is that I should not try to pass people in the slowest corner. He was going to be passing my ass on the straightaway anyway as he had a 1000cc bike and I was on a rented 600cc.
... remember, there are no winners at track days... Just losers
|glad you alright. kinda confused on what happened. I slowed it down but couldnt really see the problem. but did notice the bike diving to the left crossing the front wheele as you came off the bike. but Im not sure what unsettled you
Ok, I have a way for everyone to see my crash... Not my finest moment...
At the same time, I get to shamelessly plug a Blog that I post on. It's operated by a friend of mine at work, and I like to post from time to time.
So run on over to Motorcyclebloggers.com and take a look at the post about my crash.
The quick link to the story is : http://motorcyclebloggers.com/2005/1...o-gothicbeast/
Check out this thread...
|sorry to hear that and glad your allright......... on a nother note post up the video!
Thanks for the being worried.
I banged my head good in my KBC Airborne Force S helmet.
I have some lame crash video but the wife stopped shooting when she watched me crash... bummer for me
|MT Wallet
Glad you are okay.... the last person I heard who crashed at 65mph was in the hospital for a long time... even lost a finger.
He also had full gear I think but perhaps not a leather suit.
THanks for sharing
Review and Crash Tested: Joe Rocket GPX 2-Pc Type-R Suit
Executive Summary: Joe Rocket GPX 2-Pc Type-R suit is a good basic suit. Overall construction is good, seams hold up and the leather is heavy enough. The suit has few features beyond good leather and basic protection. At a MSRP of $599 to $649 (I recomend newenough.com as a place to shop) this is a good basic set of leathers.
Background: Some may remember 2 months ago I was off for another track day adventure. Part of my enthusiasm for my track day was to get my knee on the ground. The fact is the leathers I used for my first track day were just too short. At $330 shipped to me, the Fieldsheer Carbon Fang leathers were fine. But when I went to stick my knee out the suit was to short from my crotch to my neck. The end result was I could not easily move around the motorcycle and get it leaned over.
Review: Ok, I am a big guy and I sure could use to lose a few pounds. But I like to ride and I needed a suit that fit me. I like buying off the rack and the only suit that I figured would fit was the Joe Rocket GPX Type-R suit. This suit is new for 2006 and I just had to have it. Joe Rocket suit has a wide range of sizes from 38 up to 56 in the GPX suits, both in 1-pc and 2-pc.
I contacted the good people at newenough.com and tried to order a size 56 (Freak of nature size) Joe Rocket GPX Type-R 1-pc suit. After some e-mails and phone calls, the good staff at www.newenough.com informed me their distributor had no size 56 suits and no plans to see any till Feb 06. The good news was the distributor (in Las Vegas) did just get in the GPX Suit in a 2-pc. They had 2 suits and could ship me one directly from Las Vegas. I was getting a suit before even newenough.com would have one to check out. I gave the ok, and 2 days later I had my lovely GPX suit.
The Fit: Overall the Joe Rocket GPX 2-pc Type-R suit fit well. The length was enough to cover my 66 frame and I could get it zipped around my waist. The suit was just the tad bit bulky at the top but most every other place fit like a glove.
The Construction: The leather quality is nothing to write home about. The leather has a definite grain pattern and is not of the finest appearance. In places where leather is not the most important, fabric has been substituted. For example the lower half of the calf part of the suit is fabric. Its no big deal as my boots cover the fabric and it is more comfortable than leather. On a plus side though, the leather is heavy and the seams are all well done. I found little exposed stitching and all the seams seem to be glued inside and have a hidden layer of stitching.
The Protection: The suit comes with CE armor in all locations, except the back. The armor was well placed and did not interfere with getting in or out of the suit. The supplied knee pucks rub on the ground nicely and did not seem to wear much at my limited skill level.
The Features: Overall the features on the suit are rather limited. The 1-pc suit is perforated, but the 2-pc is not perforated. You get some bicep vents and some back vents. After that you are out of luck on the suit, you get the vents, some leather and some CE armor. No fashionable speed hump, no perforated leather, no special inner liner, etc.
THE CRASH: I crashed during my track day and the leathers held up rather well. My fall was a 60mph low side crash. The suit held up well and except for some light cosmetic damage the suit is usable for another day.
Overall I am happy with the suit as it fits. Fitting is good as I am a huge guy and most stuff is not made for me. I am supportive of buying Joe Rocket gear as frequently as possible because they make stuff to fit me. I probably will be buying a replacement size 56 suit to help Encourage Joe Rocket to continue to make stuff in my size. Also if they wise up and stop making stuff for my size, then I have an extra suit to use. At $1200 for a Z-leathers suit in my size, I can own 2 of the GPX suits and be happy.
All the big guy and girls out their should look at the Joe Rocket line. The wife got a chest upgrade this past September and I bought the only Joe Rocket 2X jacket they make. If enough of us big people buy the gear, they will make more. Or at least I can hope they make more.

Also known as French parsley or garden chervil, it is a delicate annual herb similar to parsley. Chervil is most commonly used to season mild dishes and is a key ingredient in classic French seasoning mix "fines herbes". The herb is also linked to Easter celebrations in some parts of Europe as its flavor and fragrance resemble that of myrrh.
The herb's lace-like texture is complemented by its subtle aniseed flavor.
Adding a little chervil to your diet could help reduce fluid retention in the body, reduce coughs, improve digestive issues and even lower high blood pressure.
Chervil pairs especially well with lighter proteins such as eggs and fish, as well as being a welcome addition to asparagus, potatoes, and more delicate sauces. This herb is at its best when super fresh, so be sure to add it as close to the end of the cooking process as possible.

Over and over again men have said, "The voice of the conference is the voice of God; therefore everything must be referred to the conference. The conference must permit or restrict in the various lines of work."… But the work carried on all over the field demands an entirely different course of action. There is need of the laying of a foundation different from the foundation which has been laid in the past.
I would prefer not to speak today, though not because I have nothing to say. I have something to say. The state of things that has existed in the conference is not clearly understood by some who occupy positions in the conference or by others who bear responsibilities in other lines of the work.
The work has been increasing; it has been growing. The light that I have had from the Lord has been expressed over and over again, not to as many as there are here today, but to different individuals. The plans upon which God wishes us to work have been laid down.
Never should the mind of one man or the minds of a few men be regarded as sufficient in wisdom and power to control the work and say what plans shall be followed. The burden of the work in this broad field should not rest upon two or three men. We are not reaching the high standard which, with the great and important truth we are handling, God expects us to reach.
Over and over again men have said, "The voice of the conference is the voice of God; therefore everything must be referred to the conference. The conference must permit or restrict in the various lines of work." As the matter has been presented to me, there is a narrow compass, and within this narrow compass, all the entrances to which are locked, are those who would like to exercise kingly power. But the work carried on all over the field demands an entirely different course of action. There is need of the laying of a foundation different from the foundation which has been laid in the past.
We have heard much about everything moving in the regular lines. When we see that the "regular lines" are purified and refined, that they bear the mold of the God of heaven, then it will be time to endorse these lines. But when we see that message after message given by God has been received and accepted, yet no change has been made, we know that new power must be brought into the regular lines. The management of the regular lines must be entirely changed, newly organized. There must be a committee, not composed of half a dozen men, but of representatives from all lines of our work, from our publishing houses, from our educational institutions, and from our sanitariums, which have life in them, which are constantly working, constantly broadening.
I have been shown the fields which should have been opened in America. But where in California or Michigan, the two great centers of the work, is aggressive work being done? Where is seen the wrestling in new fields?
God desires that His work shall be a rising, broadening, enlarging power. But the management of the work is becoming confused in itself. Not that anyone wishes to be wrong or to do wrong, but the principles are wrong. These principles are so foreign to God's principles that God cannot bless those who work upon them. What must be done is to bring in other minds. Those who have been at work in the same channels for years have been discouraged and confused. We cannot entrust to such as these the tremendous responsibilities which are now to be handled.
Instruction has constantly been given as to the sacred, elevating, ennobling principles which should control in our institutions. The interests of the General Conference and all that concerns the handling of the work require minds that are controlled by the Holy Spirit. Unless those who have charge of the work give evidence that they are controlled by the Holy Spirit, unless they give evidence that they receive power from God to impart to the responsibilities with which they are connected, a change should be made without delay.
God forbid, brethren, that this conference should close as our conferences have closed in the past, with the same management, the same tone, the same order. The Lord wants those who have a knowledge of the truth to come to their senses. He wants them to arouse. It is time for us to arise and shine because our light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon us. If we are not going to do this, we might just as well close our conference today as later.
From the light God has given me, everything connected with this conference is to be regarded as most sacred. Why? Because at this time the work is to be placed upon a proper basis. Wrong principles have been followed. For the last fifteen years wrong decisions have been made; and now God calls for a change. He wants in His work men of faith and capability, men who realize that there is a ladder for them to climb round by round, and that those who climb this ladder will finally step off it into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us move heavenward. Let every thread of selfishness that has been woven into the work be now cut out.
The work should stand 100 percent higher than it stands today. The satanic agencies are working with all their power to weaken and destroy us, and unless there is a waking up among the people of God, the enemy will gain the victory. God calls upon us to arouse, to take hold of His work, and labor for time and for eternity.
Many are treading over and over again in the same ground. Our large churches ought to be turning out men who are educated and trained and disciplined, prepared to enter the Lord's vineyard; but what are they doing? The barren fields, specially in the South, are crying to God for help. These fields have scarcely been touched, notwithstanding the message that God has been giving for a number of years.
It is high time that this came to an end. Let the work be woven after the same pattern that it has in the past and it will finally come to naught. God calls for a decided change. Do not wait until the conference is over and then gather up the forces to see what can be done. Let us see what can be done now. Find out what power and intelligence there is that can be brought into the conference. Let all unite in taking hold of the work intelligently. This is what is needed.
Every institution should have a voice in the working of the cause in which [it has] an interest. God wants us to come to the place where we shall be united in the work, where the whole burden will not be laid on two or three men. Unless a change is made, Brother Irwin will soon be where he cannot work at all. He needs support. He has been in the work of wrestling so long that he must have a change or else he will break down.
We need men who will stand as true to principle as the needle to the pole. God will test the men who are given responsibilities in His work, and unless they show that they have a true idea of what Christlike principles are, He will remove them and put others in their place. God wants us to know what it means to work on the principles of heaven. He wants those in the office to know what it means for everyone to stand in his lot and place, obeying the words, "Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity" [2 Peter 1:5-7]. Brethren, let us hang these words in the chambers of the mind. If we live on the plan here outlined, we "shall never fall; for so an entrance shall be ministered unto . . .[us] abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" [verses 10, 11].
God is in earnest with us. He has seen the close dealing, and it is contemptible in His sight. It leaves men where, if they do not change, they will never see the kingdom of God. They are as destitute of the nobility, the generosity, the tenderness, the compassion, the love of Christ, as the hills of Gilboa were destitute of dew and rain. They cannot be aroused to see their condition. Enough has been said, but it does not lead them to reform. The message from heaven is professedly accepted, but no change is made. This is what alarms me. I see that unless there is more tenderness, more compassion, more of the love of God, the blessing of heaven will be withdrawn. John knew what he was talking about when he said, "Thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent" [Revelation 2:4, 5].
We need to study what John has written about the love of God. This love has not been cultivated, and when it is not cultivated, the opposite attribute is developed. The love of God has not been manifested in our publishing houses. Those who have practiced sharp dealings have flattered themselves that they are keen businessmen, but they have been losing instead of gaining, and unless they change, their light will be removed. They fail to realize that it is for the interests of the institution with which they are connected for them to act nobly every time, to come up to the help of the Lord. God will never acquit us till His principles are followed in our institutions.
God means what He says. He calls for a change. The same things are being repeated, the same ideas followed, the same committees appointed. In a small section a king reigns, and all others are secondary, when there are other men who are better able to do the work, because they have not been working on narrow plans.
I feel intensely over this matter. I do not want to talk in this way. If you will melt under the tenderness of God, breaking your hearts before Him and placing yourselves where you will not mislead, you will see that He hates selfishness. When you bring selfishness into the management of His cause, it makes the crime one-hundred-fold greater. It makes God ashamed of you.
You are to be representatives of Jesus Christ, representatives of His character. You are to show that you are carrying out the living principles of heaven in every line of action. God will not accept your common fire. He wants you to use the sacred fire which He has kindled on the divine altar. It is His desire that this fire shall consume all commonness, all selfishness, all cheapness. These things must be purged from the men who are helping to prepare a people to stand in the last great conflict, which is just upon us. Self must be hid in Christ. When this is done, Christ will appear. Christ will be seen as the great Worker.
God desires the committees which have been handling the same things for so long, to be relieved of their command. They should have a chance for life, to see if they cannot get out of the rut into which they have fallen. I have no hope that they will do this without a thorough change, because the Spirit of God has been working with them yet the wrong, unreformed, is still there.
The Lord desires His Holy Spirit to come into this meeting. He declares that every vestige of sharpness in dealing must be removed, for He hates it. No sharpness is to be exercised toward His servants who are working for Him, bringing the tithe into the treasury that His cause may be sustained. God's treasury is to be supplied by the tithe, which is to be regarded as a sacred fund. It is God's, and it is to be liberally given, that the work may be sustained. Those in responsible places are to act in such a way that the people will have firm confidence in them. These men should not be afraid to open to the light of day everything in the management of the work.1White, E.G. (1901). A Call to Reconsecrate, Reorganize and Advance, Manuscript 43
