Thank you for visiting LynnvSekulow. This blog is no longer being updated. Please enjoy the archives. Here is another blog you may also enjoy: Jay Sekulow: Faith and Justice Happy Reading!
I have a certain endearing respect for Peeps, those marshmallow creations which used to be seen solely in the form of chickens and rabbits at Easter but now have a ubiquitous presence during every holiday period. The creatures come from the Just Born candy company in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the place I grew up. (Even earlier, during the Depression, my father swept floors at the company.)
Now, Peeps are playing a role, admittedly a supporting one, in a strange "religious liberty" case in Colorado. As reported in a local newspaper, Carol Burdick was evicted from her apartment for keeping her Easter decorations on her door 17 days after Easter, an alleged violation of her lease provision to keep all areas under the tenant's control "in a clean and sanitary condition." Her display included cardboard cutouts of chickens and rabbits, some plastic grass, and some Peeps. Later this week she will argue that the leasing company violated Ms. Burdick's religious freedom. Her lawyer noted: "You can't evict somebody for Easter bunny decorations. An Easter decoration is a religious statement and should be protected– even if it is just bunnies."
This poses an interesting question, Jay, for which I need your response. If Ms. Burdick thinks Easter candy and rabbit stickers are a symbol of her religious committment, is that all it takes to make a threshold argument that your religious liberty has been violated? If so, should this claim trump the landlord's desire to keep a litter-free apartment complex? Further, since the landlord allows decorations up for some period, can he define the length of time they are allowed up when a tenant wishes to keep them up longer? Would it make a difference if there were no Peeps in the display since arguably they could "go bad" as most foods do (although I have personally never seen a Peep I couldn't eat, no matter how old)?
Is this actually important? I'd say it raises some intriguing questions about freedom of speech, freedom of religion, how "religion" is defined by courts, and how exercising one's faith can have an impact on others. Personally, I'm hoping that Ms. Burdick prevails–at least on a claim of "freedom from stupidity" if not "freedom of religion".

Hey y'all! Welcome to my blog, The Vintage Modern Wife!
In August 2017, our family adopted a 1 eyed dog, Winky, and 2 weeks later, found out we would be expecting! We shared our Little Fall Pregnancy Announcement, bumpdates, the Cutest Fall Gender Reveal, our Winter Maternity Photoshoot in Texas, and even more through our social media. We are thrilled to have Lawson in our family since March 2018 and can't even remember life without him.
I love the bond that Addie and Lawson share. I'm excited to see how their relationship grows over time. They are so lucky to have one another and I feel so blessed to call them ours. Our journey through life may not be easy, but we'll use some vintage modern flair and lots of love to get through!

3D printing was invented nearly thirty years ago. But recently this industry has been taking giant leaps into a brave new world. Before, 3D printers were almost exclusively used to build prototypes and models for mega corporations, who could afford their once exorbitant price tags. But now, the age of the affordable personal desktop 3D printer has arrived.
While their larger, more powerful cousins still dominate the industry; desktop 3D printers have been, in recent years and months, taking it by storm. That isn't to say 3D printers which fill up entire rooms aren't still helping companies create models or prototypes (for the architectural and automobile industries, for example), (see our next issue for a more complete overview of these types of printers) it just means that a new and exciting way to create 3D objects has generated a lot of buzz in the 3D printing industry.
Now, before we get ahead of ourselves and discuss the array of shiny new desktop 3D printers that the main players in the industry have begun to aggressively roll out this spring, let us first not neglect to mention Reprap.
Reprap is an open source project using a wiki interface for its website that allows users an easy, very (very!) cheap way to build their own desktop printers. Because many of the Reprap printers are made of plastic parts, they are able to self-replicate, meaning that you can print most of the parts for a new printer on another printer.
This sort of community sharing model has worked well for many of its users. (As an example, read the article on Adam Luker and his Reprap printer in our first introductory issue, to get a sense of what these machines are and what sorts of capabilities they have.) In order to build these printers, however, you do have to have at least a basic understanding of the technical and engineering aspects of these machines, which is not for everyone. But if it's the cheapest machine you're looking for, then this is the 3D printer for you!
The Botmill "Glider" (Reprap Mendel, repackaged)
Botmill, a company that has recently been bought by 3D systems, puts together Reprap printer components and designs for you. They repackage the Reprap Mendel as the "glider" and sell it for about twice the price it was when the parts were not assembled. Though this is still quite a bit cheaper than other desktop 3D printing options, reviews of this company from the wider community are mixed. The Botmill website claims that they offer day after delivery, but most of their customers had to wait at least a week for the printer to arrive. And often these printers were missing vital parts. We can only hope that the 3D systems buyout means better customer service in the future.
Though these printers, and others like them, such as Makergear and Solidoodle (coming in at a mere $499!) are much much cheaper than their flashier competitors, they have an immense learning curve.
Makergear Mosiac
This learning curve doesn't have much to do with the assembly required, however. Indeed, only the Reprap models require this assembly, as the others have all been assembled for you. No, the problem arises from the CAD software these printers use. CAD software is used with 3D printers in order to help the user interface with a computer and design exactly what they'd like the printer to print. Unfortunately, these cheaper printers, at least for now, use software such as Skeinforge and Prongerface. Of course, with practice and time, you can learn to use these programs effectively. However, if you have limited technical and engineering knowledge you may find yourself at a bit of a deep end at the beginning.
If you don't mind this initial confusion, or if you are invigorated by the challenge, then by all means start building those printers! However, if you are like the rest of us and would prefer a more user friendly interface when designing 3D objects to print on your desktop printer, you may want to further investigate higher priced, but friendlier printers, which can be found in our profiles section this issue.

Our Real Wedding this week features Nicola and Simon. Nicola went to school at St Audries Park and finally returned for her very special wedding. Read her wonderful story…
On May 4th 2013, just over a month ago. Simon and I married at the simply stunning St Audries Park. Having both been married before we wanted something personal, something special and something that would help us celebrate a union that has us permanently smiling inside and out.
The team at St Audries Park were amazing. From our very first contact, to Sam, our Front of House Manager's seamless organization, to the top-notch food and drink and the staff that could not do enough for you. No wonder they have won the Wedding Ideas Venue of the Year 2013. There will be many more awards to come.
St Audries Park was my boarding school from 1972-1981. I loved every minute of my time there and knew every single pupil. There were only 250 of us and I feel honored to have attended. We had a resident ghost, 'The Grey Lady'. I was dressed in grey/sliver for the Wedding with a flourish of peacock with a Gatsby twist. The lady in grey.
The staff had found and old desk and chair and we used a large blackboard for the table planner and subject books on each table for doodles and comments. Hilarious to read back! If I had had a chat with my 14 year old self and said that a week before my 50th Birthday I would marry the man of my dreams, here, in front of many of our special friends and family- there is no way I would have believed it! But it did happen on the most glorious sunny day. The classrooms may be derelict and falling down but the money re-invested in the House and grounds make this an amazing venue.
The light everywhere was magical. I never remember a skylight at the top of a grand staircase. Mind you we weren't allowed to use it until the Sixth Form. As I walked into the Orangery the glass ceiling was just flooded with sunlight upon a sea of smiling faces and a swathe of kingfisher, purple and peacock.
Mr. Manley, Mr. Free and Mr. Tough were key teachers in my time at school. Funny how they were adjectives! Either that or an alternative version of the 'Mr. Men'. I used to go up to the top of the Tower, above the front door, to shadow Mr. Manley on his Career Advice lessons. I also was a keen member of the St John's Ambulance. No surprise then that I eventually spent 10 years in Recruitment and became a Nurse.
Esse Quam Videri, the school motto. It has taken me a lifetime to really take it on board. I'm happy to say I'm able to agree with the importance of- to be, rather than to seem to be.
I was wearing a beaten silver bangle with a little dangling heart on the Wedding Day. The heart fell off and I gave it to Simon and he put it in his waistcoat pocket. Later we could not find it. I'd like to hope it fell out in the Old Hall, whilst he was dancing the night away, and that it's fallen down a crack in the floorboards. I absolutely lost my heart to St Audries.
Everyone here at St Audries Park would like to wish Nicola and Simon a life of success and happiness!
As told by Nicola Goodhew

Notarization in the USA - Things to Consider
For public document recognition abroad, notarization is an important step before actual apostille or legalization. Often it is needed to provide certified true copies or notarized originals (e.g., depending on foreign Embassy/Consulate requirements) with certified (notarized) translations if the language of the document is not English.
In the USA notaries are appointed by states. Notary's duties may vary widely from state to state, and frequently notary public in one state cannot notarize documents from another state unless he/she has a commission there as well or there is a reciprocity agreement between the states in question. Notary public can have a commission "at large" (no county specified) or from a specific county but in most cases he/she can notarize documents from anywhere in the state but of course there may be certain limitations imposed by the state to notarize documents from a specific county only.
In general, notaries in the USA are much less regulated than notaries in other countries because they have little legal authority. For example, unlike Canada, public notaries in the U.S. mostly cannot do the following:
- Give legal advice
- Draft legal documentsd
- Recommend how a person should sign a document
- Recommend what type of notarization is necessary
- Charge fees higher than the ones prescribed by their commission.
There are of course variations so for more information, please visit National Notary Association or download Notary Handbooks sometimes issued by the Secretary of State to their notaries. Alternatively, you can also use this link from the website of the National Association of the Secretaries of State to find state notary public information pages by selecting a state or territory from the drop-down menu.
Some foreign Embassies/Consulates in the USA can also provide notarial and translation services.
How to find a Notary Public in the USA
You can use Internet (please see 2 links above) and/or Yellow Pages to find a notary public in your area.
Apostille/Certification by the Secretary of the State Requirements
Knowing the county of commission for the notary public is sometimes more or less important because for apostille or certification of documents by the Secretary of State some states require to take the notarized documents to the Clerk of the Circuit Court (of the county) for certification in the county where the notary was commissioned.
The list of Secretary of States can be found via this link. The list of Circuit Courts for the County (not to be confused with the Federal Circuit Courts that are by themselves the Competent Authority to issue apostilles on documents issued by those courts) can be found online or in Yellow Pages.
Our Services
Generally, clients can notarize their public documents themselves as especially for attestations of signatures their physical presence will be necessary to verify their identity.
However, in some cases clients prefer to delegate certain tasks to us. For example, Canada Legalization Services via its sister company in the USA called "WDC Apostille & Legalization Services" can arrange certified true copies of the originals by U.S. notary publics or foreign consuls (original returned after completion of our services).
Please request a quote or contact us if you have any questions prior sending any documents to us. We hope to hear from you soon!

Epic Friends is all about helping you to help your friends who might be struggling to cope emotionally. It has information on common mental health problems, self-help and an online quiz. Learn how to help your friends and yourself now.
BBC Radio 1 has some great information on Mental Health especially aimed at Young People....take a look!
There are some other great websites out there that have loads of information on mental health too. Have a look at:
The Heads Together campaign is being fronted by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry to end stigma around mental health. Heads Together aims to change the national conversation on mental health and wellbeing, and is a partnership with inspiring charities with decades of experience in tackling stigma, raising awareness, and providing vital help for people with mental health challenges. Check out this websites to find out more about the campaign. The Heads Together Campaign is the 2017 Virgin Money London marathon Charity of the Year. See this link for a motivational message from Prince Harry.
Check out this NEW website HeadScape which is about different types of problems young people can face, including family difficulties, anxiety, panic and many other topics. (To Note: This site is designed by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and certain parts of the site therefore won't be accessible to those registered with a GP in Cambridgeshire or Peterborough, but there is still lots of information on the site which may be of use.)
On My Mind has been set up by the Anna Freud Centre for Children and families and is aimed at raising awareness for young people around all areas to do with mental health.
What is mental health?We all have mental health. It affects how we think, feel and behave, and determines how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Our mental health can change over time. Some people call mental health 'emotional health' or 'wellbeing'. In the same way that sometimes we get physically sick with a cold or flu, sometimes we get mentally ill too.
What are mental health problems?Changes in mental health are very common, for example with the stresses and strains of life. But if these changes don't go away, and start to affect our everyday life, this can lead to problems with our mental health and can lead to mental illness. Over the course of your life, if you have mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behaviour could be affected. Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including our genes and life experiences.
What is mental illness?The term mental illness is used to describe diagnosable mental health problems. This is when you experience problems with your mental health that interfere with your life and meet criteria set out by health professionals.
How common are mental health problems?Anyone can experience problems with their mental health from mild stress to diagnosable mental health problems, and it is thought that at any one time at least 1 person in 6 is experiencing a mental health condition. Half of all mental health problems are thought to start to before the age of 14.
Mental health problems are common but help is available. People with mental health problems can get better and many recover completely.
The Mental Health Foundation 'What is mental health?' section provides lots of useful information.
The Mind website has lots of information on the different mental health problems and have an A-Z of mental health.
Source: Mental Health Foundation.
What is stigma and discrimination?
People don't always talk about mental health problems. Some people find them difficult to understand and are sometimes fearful of them. It may be hard to talk about your mental health and to seek help, but it is increasingly becoming ok to be open about your mental health. Mental health difficulties can happen to anyone regardless of their age, gender or ethnic background. It is not your fault and there is always hope for recovery.

We entertain for dinner pretty often, or at least we used to until my brains got sucked out of my head when #4 was born a few months ago. But I expect our hospitality days will return someday. I find that it's an ongoing challenge to plan a dinner party menu that gives me time to be with our guests but doesn't involve Campbell's condensed soup baking in a casserole dish. We had important dinner guests last night (prospective in-laws : )) and I realized that I have forgotten my groove. Or maybe I never had it.
But anyway, as I see it, here is the challenge of a good dinner party recipe repertoire:
(1) Allows for almost complete prep the night before. I NEVER have time the day-of to prepare ingredients, because I am too busy trying to prevent the trashing of our house and to tire out the kids for an earlier bedtime.
(2) Is ready to serve about one hour after guests arrive, but requires minimal cooking time during that final hour when dinner guests are here.
(3) Does not cost a fortune.
(4) Is seasonal and colorful and fresh and delicious.
That is a superhuman set of requirements, my friends, but we are superhuman and we know it, so here is one menu that has worked well for me in the past:
Hot appetizer of pesto pizza squares: ready to go dough, ready to spread pesto, bakeable so minimal hands on, always tasty and hard to mess up; basically any appetizer with a Pillsbury dough base is easy and great, and who has to know that the Doughboy helped?
Antipasto-ish blend: roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, chunks of salami and squares of mozzarella or provolone, whatever; served cold so can be all ready the night before
Salad: sliced tomatoes, sliced fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil over lettuce w/balsamic and olive oil, minimal ingredients all of which can be prepped the night before
Meat: Italian marinaded pork tenderloin (often on sale)–marinade the day before or buy marinaded, only requires about an hour of roasting just before time to serve
Starch: angel hair pasta w/butter and garlic or risotto
Garlic bread warmed at the last minute, when the pork comes out
This menu has flavorful, colorful and simple ingredients, it goes well together, and I wasn't in the kitchen much. Also, I thought it was easy to delegate parts–eg: someone else can compile the salad, stir the risotto, or carve the tenderloin while we chat.
If you have a repertoire, even just the names of dishes or the general theme, please share. Don't you love learning Home Economics through trial and (lots of) error?

Tokyo University of the Arts undertook the "Educational Project for Emerging Artists to Create Culture in the Next Generation 2013," inviting the distinguished experts from abroad to hold lecture, workshop and international forum.
Alejandro Haiek, Venezuelan architect and artist was invited to conduct the workshop entitled "DERIVED TECHNOLOGY: BETWEEN ART AND DESIGN -from Handicraft to High Technology" from August to October 2013 at Toride Campus, Tokyo University of the Arts. Haiek intervenes in the urban environment, that faces critical situations, creating public spaces by sharing the revelations, knowledge, and experiences that arise from the process of such discussions. He has been attracting international attention for his artistic practice that speaks a critical language, advances methodology. Haiek introduced his grand vision, which regards social practice as a new "Public Machinery" that drives the rebuilding of the urban environment and the social system.
Since 2002 Haiek had held workshops on the theme of "Derived Technology" to construct "Pavilion" that cut across architecture, art and design at several universities in Latin America and he developed them to a new version for the emerging artists, major participants of this project in Japan. For the workshop, Haiek proposed AIR ROOF as a structure of "Pavilion" for the emerging artists to work with. He also introduced his three stages of working methodology; in the first stage Haiek dismantled the foundations of a building – surface, covering, pavement, structure – as an individual element. Second, a reduced-size prototype was built using industrial or traditional, and next generation tools, CNC, re-assembling and synthesizing the elements. In the final stage, the overall planning was considered and a full-scale design, fabrication, and assembly were executed.
The emerging artists then explored its relationship with the environment and the potential of the materials in order to produce a space in which individual works interact with each other-rather than blending into the space and context – and create loose catabolic reactions as a whole. Through the exhibition and test demonstration it was confirmed that the pavilion would increase its appeal when the audiences actually experienced.
Moreover, Haiek, and two international curators, Mary Jane Jacob and Yuko Hasegawa were invited to the International Forum: "Social Practice in Contemporary Art," in conjunction with the presentation of the workshop outcomes on October 31. The Pavilion is still exhibited as a part of the testing demonstration period.

The Bangladeshi illegal is suspected of raping a 22-year-old student in Paris earlier this month after she had ordered food using the Uber Eats app at around 3:05 am after getting home from being out, Le Parisien reports.
A 25-year-old woman alleges she was raped by ride-sharing driver Tonye Kolokolo in the early hours of Saturday morning after drinking at a bar in the City of San Mateo.
The study, conducted by insurance company Netquote, looked at nine cars and surfaces were swabbed to find out the number of colony-forming units per square inch found on average.
Juma Omar, 48, was wrestled to the floor and detained by passers-by, after ploughing into the pedestrians outside the Natural History Museum in London, a court heard. He denies dangerous driving.

Police in Denver are questioning an Uber driver who they say fatally shot a client after they got into a dispute while traveling on Interstate 25 overnight.
Uber driver Gary Kitchings has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for raping a 38-year-old woman he drove home from a concert in Florida in May last year.
A female law professor described a horrifying Uber ride to the airport in Denver during which the driver allegedly locked the doors and pulled the car off the highway after telling her he wanted to 'take her to a hotel.' Nancy Leong, who teaches constitutional law at the University of Denver, posted a thread on Twitter in which she details the harrowing moments in which she was allegedly held captive in an Uber vehicle.
Rafaela Vasquez, 44, (bottom right) was the 'safety driver' of the automated Volvo when it hit Elaine Herzberg, 49, (top right) on Sunday night in Tempe, Arizona. She had two felony convictions - for attempted armed robbery and making a false statement - when she was hired by Uber for its self-driving car trials in the Phoenix, Arizona, area. She told police that Herzberg, who had herself spent time in prison for drug offenses, stepped out in front of her with a bicycle (seen inset) carrying multiple shopping bags and that she had no time to brake before it hit her. Vasquez was traveling at 40 mph at the time, well within the 45 mph speed limit and insisted that she was alert but that nothing could have been done to stop the crash. Her story was supported by footage from cameras fitted at the front and back of the Volvo SUV that Vasquez was in control of. Police have not yet revealed that footage. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators examine the vehicle, left.
NEW Nicolas Morales, 44, from California, faces 27 charges including nine counts of forcible oral copulation and six counts of rape stemming from his allege
Uber's process for onboarding drivers is dangerously negligent. Neither Uber nor Lyft uses fingerprints or law enforcement to background-check their drivers. And Uber doesn't even bother to meet with drivers in person before allowing them to ferry passengers.
The result is a series of incidents involving "ridesharing" passengers being harmed and criminal offenders behind the wheel:

Uber has confirmed that Sayfullo Saipov, the man who allegedly killed eight people and injured 15 when he mowed them down, during a terror attack previously worked for the company.
A conservative blogger and Internet personality has been banned by the ride-sharing applications Lyft and Uber after making anti-Muslim comments on Twitter following Tuesday's terrorist attack in New York City. Laura Loomer, known for her right-wing political activism, had her accounts 'deactivated' following multiple incendiary messages aimed at New York's Muslim community. 'Someone needs to create a non Islamic form of Uber or Lyft because I never want to support another Islamic immigrant driver,' Loomer wrote in one post on Wednesday.
Uber drivers are secretly colluding to cause price surges that allow them to charge customers more, according to research seen by The Times.
Academics interviewed Uber drivers in London and New York and analysed 1,012 posts on the independent Uberpeople.net site, finding that drivers were playing the company's algorithms.
According to the researchers, drivers in the same area co-ordinate to log out of the taxi-hailing app so that their cars drop off the list of available rides.
This causes prices to increase in line with the economics of supply and demand, with fares potentially rising to several times the normal rate.
The team from Warwick Business School, in Coventry, and New York University cited a conversation on one online forum where a London driver said:…

When to Seek Medical Care for a Twisted Ankle
Many people have experienced the pain associated with a twisted ankle. This type of injury can take place in a wide variety of situations. In many cases, a twisted ankle commonly occurs as the result of physical activity including playing sports. It's understandable to experience a slight degree of panic after twisting your ankle concerning where to go to seek treatment for this injury. In fact, statistics show that 25,000 people in the United States suffer from sprained ankles each day. With that in mind, here is more information concerning when a twisted ankle needs to be treated inside of either an urgent care or emergency room setting.

While many people dread receiving a cancer diagnosis, it does happen. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that about 1,685,210 new cases of cancer were reported in 2016. They estimate that every year 454.8 cases (for every 100,000 people) of cancer are reported. The good news is that new treatments are being developed every day. These new therapies include new advanced cancer treatment options and mirror our better understanding of the basket of illnesses that fall under the umbrella of cancer.

Identifying Causes of Workplace Anger is Just the Beginning
This world that we live in is a wondrous place. There is so much to see and do, so much to marvel at and to learn, so many people to meet and get to know. Opportunities abound at every turn, and especially in today's modern world, with advanced technology at our fingertips and more comforts than most of our ancestors could even dream of, life is a beautiful thing. Or at least it should be. The problem with so many parts of society is that this beauty that we now have every resource at our disposal to experience often gets missed, because of the demands, expectations, and pressure to live a certain way in this world.
The true misfortune of the modern world is that for all of the progress and advancements that have been made, humanity seems to be missing out on more than ever.
When Was the Last Time That You Were in the Hospital?
In an effort to make hospital stays more effective and to ensure that released patients to a better job of taking care of themselves when they get home, more and more hospitals are dedicating nurses or therapists to the sole task of discharge planning. In addition to looking out for the best interest of the patient, hospitals are also looking out for your the interests of the hospital itself. In fact, a growing number of insurance companies are now reimbursing hospitals according to a sliding rate.
If, for instance, a patient returns to the hospital within six months after being discharged the insurance company may only pay at 70%, instead of at 100% This is true even if the patient was in for a knee surgery the first time,

It's demoralizing when you try to lose weight and just can't seem to keep it off. You try diet after diet after diet, only to find out the sole difference it gave your life was less of what you enjoy.

Suffering From Sleep Apnea? Here Are Some Dos And Don'ts To Keep In Mind
When it comes to sleep disorders, sleep apnea is one of the most common. In fact, sleep apnea is prevalent in as many as 18 million people in the U.S. alone. This statistic denotes that approximately one in every 15 Americans, or 6.62% of the total American population, has a case of sleep apnea. One of the biggest mistakes made by those who suffer from sleep apnea is failing to seek high quality medical advice and hear about the various sleep apnea treatment methods. If you have sleep apnea, it's critical to know which steps to take. Here are just a few dos and don'ts to keep in mind regarding sleep apnea treatment.
DO: Take your time in determining which mask is right for you
This is important for those who are first experimenting with various mask types. Don't automatically assume that nasal pillows are the best option since they're the least invasive — each type of mask has both benefits and drawbacks. Similarly, don't assume that a full face mask won't work because it's too clunky. You never know if you may be missing out on an even better night's sleep because you didn't want to take a chance by trying a new mask type.
DON'T: Use your mask inconsistently
One of the main components of effective sleep apnea treatment is consistency. It's incredibly important to wear your mask each and every night — even skipping just one night could have severe health implications. At the very least, it could set you back in your progress in addition to robbing you of your much-needed shut-eye. Do the best thing for yourself and your sleep apnea by doing your very best to wear your mask every time you sleep.
DO: Keep an eye out for modernized sleep apnea technology
Despite all the progress scientists have made on developing technology for sleep apnea sufferers, their work is far from complete. That's why you should always ask for new recommendations from your sleep disorder treatment center to make sure you're aware of any new technology to hit the market.
DON'T: Downplay the importance of seeking treatment for sleep disorders
No matter how you perceive it, sleep apnea and other sleep disorders are serious disorders that, as mentioned earlier, can have significant health implications if left untreated. If you or someone you know is suffering from teeth grinding, excessive snoring, jaw arthritis, or other symptoms associated with sleep disorders, it's important to seek help at a sleep disorder center as soon as possible.
Ultimately, understanding these dos and don'ts can help you make the best decision for yourself and/or a loved one. Sleep is one of the most important activities for our overall wellbeing, and you, too, deserve to sleep soundly.
The Art Of Physical Therapy And How It Improves People's Quality Of Life One Session At A Time
Physical therapy is one of the best medical resources around. Why is this? Look no further than the sheer volume of chronic pain we're dealing with. Over one billion people live with chronic pain all over the world, which is to say nothing of sports-related injuries, the onset of age and chronic illness. Providing tried-and-true methods of pinpointing the source and easing it down to more manageable levels, physical therapy returns many peoples' lives back to them in a matter of weeks.

Ongoing statistics give us a better idea of what we're up against when it comes to chronic pa
Why Ill-Fitting Shoes Could Be Increasing Your Chances Of A Foot Injury Down The Road
A foot injury, even a mild one, can put you out for weeks. It's easy to underestimate how much foot health means to you until you're struggling to walk up the stairs or stand for an extended period of time. Just like treating a wrist sprain or a back problem, there is no single treatment for foot injury. Instead of looking for a quick cure-all, learning more about foot health and all the ways it can be compromised will put you on the fast track to a treatment method that suits you. Give yourself a crash course in physical wellness by looking at the list below on ankle injury care and the most common forms of treatment for foot injury.

Hyde Park free concert August 31st 1974
Line-up: Roger McGuinn, Roy Harper and Friends, Julie Felix, Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers, Kokomo, Toots and The Maytals.
I'd just got back from the Reading festival, which was headlined by Traffic and Alex Harvey, a few days earlier, and quite fancied going to another open air event. My mate Will was up for going to this free Hyde Park concert on Saturday, so we decided to hitch down to London after going to the local Mecca ballroom on Friday night. Around midnight we hitched a lift to the A1 at Durham and started to make our way down south. It took us all night to get down to London, but we made it by early morning. We had some crazy lifts along the way, including one in the back of an army jeep driven by a couple of squaddies who took a dislike to us (we jumped out of the jeep at a service station and started to hitch again), and another with a guy who was totally spaced out of his brain (he told us he had been taking acid) and was speeding through the centre of some strange town (I think it may have been Nottingham) driving through red lights and singing at the top of his voice. Our last lift was from a kind old couple who gave us something to eat and took us into London. When we arrived we took the tube out to Wembley so that I could buy tickets for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young who were appearing at Wembley Stadium a couple of weeks later. We then went to Hyde Park for the concert, where we ran into a few other boys we knew from the town. I don't remember much about the first few acts, but do remember being impressed by Julie Felix. Her set featured the excellent Ollie Halsall from Patto on guitar, and we all sang along to Going to the Zoo. There was much anticipation for Roy Harper's set that day, and much speculation about exactly who might be guesting with him. Roy came on stage late on the afternoon and introduced his friends for the day: Dave Gilmour on guitar, John Paul Jones on bass, and Steve Broughton on drums. A recording of the epic Harper song The Game exists from the concert, with some great guitar work from Gilmour. My memory is a little hazy (it is almost 40 years….) and I don't recall exactly what else was played, although I think Roy performed I Hate the White Man, but I do remember it being a great set. Roger McGuinn was headlining and played a set of classic Byrds songs. We left before the end of his set to get to the motorway before the rest of the crowds, and took the tube to Hendon to pick up the M1 junction and hitch back up north. Our journey back home took ages. We managed to get back to the A1(M) Bishop Auckland turn-off by Sunday afternoon and stood for hours without so much as a sniff of a lift. So we walked into Bishop Auckland to see if we could get a bus home. Sadly we'd missed the last bus and had hardly any money anyway so we decided to try to walk home. We popped into a pub somewhere near Spennymoor for a glass of water (as we didn't have enough for a drink) only to find a group of guys from Sunderland in the back room. I have never been happier to see some familiar faces; they gave us a lift home at closing time! So we arrived back home some 48 hours after we set off, having had no sleep at all, and very hungry. The crazy things you do when you are young. Still I'm pleased I went to this event; it was good to see Roy. I have a copy of the recording of the Game from that day. Its pretty rough, but brings back some great memories when I play it. Happy days.

Julie's 70th birthday concert
This special event was Julie Felix's 70th Birthday concert. Will and I had seen Julie once before at a free concert in Hyde Park in the 70s, but I'd never been to see her since then. I have a few of her albums and thought it was time to see her again, and was intrigued at the thought of going to her birthday concert. So Will and I went along to the Sage to see Julie, along with fans from across the country who had come to celebrate her birthday with her.
It was obvious that many of the people in the audience knew each other and knew Julie; and that they had travelled from all over the UK to come to this concert. The stage was decked with balloons to celebrate the occasion; Julie came on stage dressed in a white trouser suit; she looked great! For her first set Julie focused on songs by her 60s contemporaries, some of which appear on her latest CD Highway of Diamonds. These included Bob Dylan's A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall, Buffy Sainte-Marie's Universal Soldier; and Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Each of these songs was accompanied by a story of her memories of her meetings with the writer in the 60s.
She read out a message from Tom Paxton: "At 70, still the possessor of the most radiant smile in Britain. Old friends are the best friends, especially when they get old. But that's not for awhile yet for you. They tell me that 70 is the new 40, but you're not a day over 35. All the best. From Tom."
In the second set Julie sang a selection of her own songs, a couple of which were in Spanish. I didn't know these songs, but they all sounded pretty good. The crowd gave her a standing ovation at the end, and everyone seemed to agree that it had been a pretty special event. Will and I certainly enjoyed it.

Mitsubishi History
History of Mitsubishi Motors
Mitsubishi is built on a history of reliability and performance. The vehicle manufacturer was first established as a shipping company by Yataro Iwasaki, in Japan, in 1870. Since then, Mitsubishi has continued to push the boundaries of innovation for more than 145 years, always believing that inspired design is founded on quality.
Built on performance
The three diamonds of the Mitsubishi logo were originally inspired by Iwasaki's family crest – the word 'Mitsubishi' has long been used to donate a diamond shape in Japanese. Since its inception, the logo has continued to embody the principles of the world-renowned vehicle manufacturer.
Driving innovation
The very first Mitsubishi vehicle, the Mitsubishi Model A, was manufactured in 1917. This was followed by the Mitsubishi PX 33, Japan's first four-wheel drive Diesel passenger car – the vehicle that laid the foundation for Mitsubishi's rich heritage of manufacturing powerful SUVs, focused on performance.
Rugged reliability
In the same year, having laid the groundwork as a trusted producer of reliable engines, Mitsubishi began manufacturing engines for some of the world's most popular 4x4s, including Jeep. It was this same technology and engineering that was used to design the Pajero, Mitsubishi's most famous SUV, which was first unveiled in 1973.
With a rapid rise to success, the Pajero took first prize in the Paris Dakar Rally in 1985, the first of an unmatched total of twelve Dakar Rally wins in the world's harshest conditions. Over the years, the Pajero has become Mitsubishi's most iconic SUV, embodying the stylish dependability that the brand stands for.
By drawing on this knowledge and performance-based technology, each and every Mitsubishi vehicle is designed and manufactured with the same world-class capabilities.

Holland is a country that is covered in canals, lakes and rivers making this ideal spot to enjoy a boating holiday. Boating is a way of life for the Dutch people and it is a popular
destination for British people wanting a holiday on the waterways. See the windmills and landscapes made famous by the Dutch masters and see the actual paintings in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Self catering boat hire in Holland is a fantastic way to explore this wonderful country.
Boats can be hired for a few days, a week or more and a typical trip would be from Woudsend to Sneek and back. This is a distance of around eighty kilometres and will take three days. Sneek is a great place to visit and it is the water sports centre of the Friesland region. It is also a good place to stop off at a café and try a slice of the traditional Boterdrabbel cake.
A longer trip is from Woudsend, through Loosdrect, Amsterdam and end up at Strand Horst. This is a
distance of two hundred kilometres and will take fourteen days to complete. You can take your boat in to Amsterdam city centre but you will need a permit. Amsterdam is a fantastic place to visit with its colourful night life and world famous art galleries. See paintings by Van Gough, Rembrandt and Vermeer.
Just west of Amsterdam is the Keukenhof Gardens which are a blaze of colour from the millions of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths. End up at Strand Horst
which is a beautiful and natural marina with a Mediterranean feel about it. Self Catering Boat Hire in Holland will put you right at the centre of all these stunning places.
The boats can sleep from two to twelve people and they have every modern convenience you need to have a comfortable and enjoyable holiday. Self catering boat hire in Holland is a relatively inexpensive way to have a holiday in this vibrant country.

Turners Cider is a family business based in the village of Marden, in the Weald of Kent.
We make a range of craft ciders in the 'Eastern counties' style: that is, from only dessert and culinary apples.
All our apples are grown in and around the village, in the orchards on the south-facing ridge below the Greensand Way and in the flood basin of the River Beult.
Much of our fruit is grown organically. All of it brings a different characteristic.
We select each type of apple for its flavour. That's why we use so many traditional varieties like Cox, Worcester, Bramley and Russet.
The apples are picked from the tree when they're at their peak in the Autumn. We press and ferment the different apple varieties separately over the Winter months, creating a range of base ciders.
But just as every English Summer is different, so are each year's ciders. So the best job of all comes in the Spring when we carefully taste and blend them to get the right balance of flavours.
The result is a range of clean, light and refreshing ciders with a balance of sweetness and acidity. They're perfect for summer drinking, for thirst-quenching, as an aperitif and with many types of food.

Ransomware has been lingering around since the 90's but its proliferation in recent years means that more and more small businesses, charities and schools are being hit. It's no coincidence that the explosion of ransomware began with the Bitcoin boom in 2009; a decentralised currency with minimum fees and steeped in apparent anonymity was always going to be a big hit for online baddies.
The Problem With Ransomware
Small business, charities and schools seem to get hit twice when it comes to ransomware attacks and are the ones that suffer the most too. Let me explain. A typical victim company will have somewhere between one and ten computers operating on a network, sharing folders and having quite open access policies between users. They may have paid for a simple network, printer and mobile device setup a couple of years back but never considered taking out any sort of ongoing security and maintenance service. Or maybe that service wasn't offered. We all see high street IT companies advertising services for local business but how many of them revisit their customers following the initial installation? Maybe their customers don't feel they need to pay or maybe they are only interested in the one job and moving on. I don't know but what is apparent is there seems to be a raft of vulnerable businesses out there that could really benefit from a knock on the door by an IT guy.
What about staff training? Every single ransomware attack that I have known to hit a small business, charity or school (I could abbreviate that to SBCS like they do for SMB's but I think that's already taken for Single Byte Character Set!) started with a member of staff double-clicking an e-mail attachment they shouldn't have. Most of the cases involve mass mail campaigns and no specific information is offered up to the victim about the sender or the content of the attachment yet they go on to click and infect anyway. Why? Because they don't know what they don't know. I'm pretty sure a quick chat about the risks of this behaviour would soon make staff think twice but until they have that chat how are they to know any different?
Then there are the targeted emails that make specific reference to the recipient, purport to be the supplier or the infection is wholly brought about through unauthorised access to the system without even thinking about emails. How can you defend against these types of ransomware infections? I would say again that training is key. Do your staff know to check the domain of the email sender against the genuine one or know how to check email headers and file extensions when receiving emails purporting to be known customers or suppliers but carrying unexpected attachments? Probably not would be my guess. A business runs on people and people tend to be the weakest link in the chain when it comes to cyber security.
Too Late For Prevention
So, the system's infected and all files to do with recent quotes, emails and payroll are encrypted and you're being asked to shell out 4 BTC to someone with a snazzy cyber name and a dodgy looking email address. Well firstly, avoid paying a penny if you can because all that happens is the job of being a ransomware distributor becomes more lucrative and similar businesses will be increasingly targeted. This is due to ransomware more recently being offered up as "as a service". There are also cases of ransomware victims being let off the hook if they agree to continue to spread the malware for a cut of the profits.
So, a decision is made not to pay but what do you do then? This is the point at which I believe a lot of these businesses get hit twice. A ransomware attack has encrypted critical files and prevented sales reps from bringing in new business, prevented staff getting paid and caused suppliers to chase up emails about unpaid invoices.
First of all check out www.nomoreransom.org – a great resource offering up decryption keys for quite a few popular variants of ransomware and since it's well funded by Europol and industry partners it does provide sound advice and gets updated often enough to provide the odd success story.
No decryption key available for your ransomware infection? Well this is when backups play a part. Let's hope you've been backing up your data regularly and storing that data off the network to prevent encryption of cloud and attached storage backups. Let's hope you've clocked the ransomware before you're next backup schedule actually overwrites your data with fresh encrypted data (it has happened).
Whatever the situation with backup, it's usually the case for small business that services of an IT tech have to be called upon. Companies of the size I'm talking about can't afford and often don't need a permanent IT guy working for them. So when something like ransomware breaks it doesn't just cost that company lost business and time but also money in the form of a hefty invoice from their local IT firm. The saddest cases are those where no viable backups exist and the business essential pays an IT tech to attend, assess the situation as dire and then simply wipe all drives and do fresh installs of software. That leaves the company out of pocket in a big way and suffering the burden of losing all information to do with the day to day running of that company.
Moving Forward
You only have to do a quick internet search to find a plethora of good advice about prevention out there. However, there are plenty of small businesses that feel they cannot justify the expenditure of having fancy backup systems in place, which come with ongoing IT support. They're happy to have a quick chat with staff about the dangers of clicking spurious looking email attachments but feel they can't afford to send staff on full away days or training events. With this in mind maybe it's worth considering changing the message. I suggest the key prevention messages change from, "Here are your 5 star bullet proof tips to evade ransomware" (which are all great but clearly not being followed by all) to "Here are some simple, free things you can do to help avoid becoming a victim."
I'm thinking about things like encouraging carpet cleaning companies to simply save their regular customer details spreadsheet to a USB stick once in a while or asking the local hardware store to tell their staff to avoid opening unexpected attachment in email. If the local social club just updated their antivirus once a week then that would help too. For all those small businesses, charities and schools out there we should encourage prevention through baby steps rather than scare them with the 5 star gold standard.
The full house of backup, updated antivirus, training and a promotion of culture change would of course always be the preferred option but I'd rather something got done than nothing.

Iranian Teacher Builds A Robot To Teach Kids To Pray
We're still some time away from the day robots are able to find their own faith, but in the meantime, they can certainly teach it. An Iranian schoolteacher by the name of Akbar Rezaie has put together a rather innovative means of encouraging his students to pray: he's built a robot. Veldan - a term mentioned in the Quran as meaning "Youth of Heaven" - is a humanoid robot small enough to fit on a desk and equipped with motors that allow it to perform a wide range of different praying motions.
Veldan will be helping Rezaie teach the Quran to elementary students at Alborz, a small school in the town of Varamin, 35 kilometers southeast of Tehran.
According to Rezaie, he first got the idea for Veldan from a Western dancing and singing doll. He saw a young girl at a family gathering playing with one, and noted how passionately she was watching the toy. It occurred to him that there could be educational value in something that can hold a child's attention for so long. With that in mind, he set out to create his machine.
The little robot was put together using an educational kit designed by Korean robotic manufacturer Robotis Bioloid. He was able to give it a fuller range of motion by applying a few mechanical modifications on top of the basic kit. Two extra engines allow the robot to perform praying motions - including prostration - more easily.
Now, Rezaie uses the robot as a teaching tool for his class. He hopes that it might eventually be mass-produced. It's a huge hit with his students.
"It was so exciting to me to see a robot pray. I have decided to always say my prayers too," said one child.
"As you see the children's reaction in their faces, you realize how interesting it is to them to see how the science of robotics has been beautifully used for a religious purpose and I am sure it will be greatly effective in teaching them how to pray," he explained.
Rezaie has formally registered the robot's invention patent and the right to its design at Iran's State Organization for Registration of Deeds and Properties.

How WordPress Can Help Improve Your Website Ranking
WordPress comes ready and is easily embraced by the search engine. It has features and functions that guides search engines through pages , posts and categories. This helps the search engine to easily crawl on the site and pick the information it requires to include in its database.
WordPress has built in optimization tools, it has the ability to use ht access to create a static URLs referred to as permalinks, pinging and blog rolling. Also, it has third party hacks and plug-ins that can suitably be used for search engine optimization.
WordPress makes it easier to validate your site code. This is important because if there are errors in your code, it may prevent the search engine from seeing your site. Remember the search engine must see the words and the content that explains, educates and informs. This way, the search engine will be able to scan the content evaluate it and categorize it so as to help you get good ranking.
Making use of words and phrases that are commonly searched on the internet increases the chances of getting a good score. When the search engine enters your site, it plows through the content on the site. Fortunately, WordPress has themes designed with the content that is as close to the top of unstyled page as possible. It keeps the sidebars and footers towards the bottom . There are very few search engines that scans more than the first third of any page before it moves on. Thus, the theme you choose must put the content near the top to make it easier for the search engine to see it.
Search engines will only evaluate your site by evaluating the words used and putting them through a sifter it scores certain words or a combination of words highly compared to others. It picks words found within your documents and compares them with those found within your titles and links.
Preparing and maintaining your site for the search engine crawlers and robots may be appropriate. You need to use WordPress Custom field options to include keywords and description of posts and pages. Similarly, make use of the available WordPress plug-in to add meta , tags, and keywords description to your site. Remember the search engines read files at your domain.com. This helps them to see what they should check and what they shouldn't. You no longer have to add entries to robots.txt for SEO purposes. Just make use of page level non- index tags and you will increase your scores in web design.

Want smooth, beautiful skin without the waxing side effects and painful waxing experience — with sugar paste hair removal? You've got it! With sugaring: the brilliant, natural alternative to waxing.
Sugaring vs. Waxing
Sugar paste goes on cool, comes off easily, and works to lubricate your hair follicles. The sugar paste hair removal process allows hair removal without the pain and trauma of waxing, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to go.
Sugaring can eliminate and prevent ingrown hair, treat skin problems ranging from keratosis and eczema to psoriasis, and improve skin tone and texture. Because it's natural and gentle, sugar paste hair removal works without burning your skin, damaging cells, scarring, or promoting cross-contamination. Looking for a way to get smooth skin naturally without the waxing side effects? Look no further than L.A. Bikini!
What is a Brazilian (L.A. Bikini?)
A Brazilian refers to removing the hair along the bikini area. At L.A. Bikini, we refer to Brazilian hair removal as an "L.A. Bikini," and we have three different options that eliminate varying areas of hair.
Why sugaring instead of waxing?
Wax is an adhesive, so it actually adheres to your skin. As a result, when you remove the wax (and hair) from your skin, you will experience a lot of pain. Unlike waxing, sugaring doesn't adhere to live skin cells. When it is removed, it only gently exfoliates dead skin cells, leaving behind silky smooth skin. So the hair removal process is much less painful than waxing. Sugar paste hair removal also removes hair in the natural direction of growth, revealing skin that's beautiful and silky instead of irritated or inflamed.
Will sugaring damage my skin?
Absolutely not. Sugaring will not damage, burn or scar your skin.
Waxing is hot. Does sugaring feel hot like waxing?
Sugar hair removal isn't hot — it isn't even close. Sugaring is performed at body temperature, which means you don't have to deal with hot, burning wax being applied to your skin. This is great news for anyone and is a special relief to those with sensitive skin.
Is the sugar paste safe?
Absolutely! The sugar paste that we use is completely natural and water-soluble. (In fact, our sugar paste is so safe that it's actually edible!) When you choose to use sugar, you not only get beautiful skin; you also get to avoid the chemical-based waxing products that are typically used in the hair removal process.
How is sugar paste applied?
At L.A. Bikini, sugar paste is removed in the natural direction of growth of your hair. (That is in contrast to waxing, which removes hair against the grain, causing unnecessary pain and discomfort.) Because sugar paste is applied against the grain and removed in the natural direction of hair growth, sugaring removes hair with less pain.

Simon Angell
IF JEFF BUCKLEY, SYD BARRETT, BERTOLT BRECHT, and Erik Satie were all to arise from the grave and team up with Tom Waits, the result might sound something like Patrick Watson and the Wooden Arms. On their third CD, Wooden Arms [Secret City], the Montreal-based quartet continues to juggle its avant-garde leanings with its pop propensities, aided in no small measure by guitarist Simon Angell, who cites Mark Ribot and George Harrison as influences with equal enthusiasm. Like those players, Angell's parts are integral to the songs, and while he does sometimes fire off impressive solos—especially during the band's freewheeling live shows—he's just as likely to fill musical spaces with "extended" guitar sounds created using objects such as balloons, wire pads, chopsticks, ramekins, and children's toys. The guitarist also brings lap-steel, banjo, and charanga parts to the party.
In addition to his primary gig with Watson, Angell brings his multifaceted approach to Thus:Owls, a quintet that includes his wife, vocalist and multiinstrumentalist Erika Alexandersson. The group's spectacular debut album, Cardiac Malformations [Hoob], has a lavish, sweeping, cinematic feel somewhat reminiscent of Björk's more orchestral works. Angell is also completing an album of mostly solo guitar pieces.
Your playing involves a lot of different techniques. Were you formally trained?
I went to jazz school, and I understand and can fake my way through "Giant Steps" well enough to convince a nonmusician that I know what I'm doing [laughs]. But at this point, playing isn't so much about technique for me and I don't think too hard about it. I'm more concerned with how I approach the instrument in terms of having the right mindset, and being calm and relaxed when I'm playing.
What are your main guitars?
I'm mostly playing a D'Armond knockoff of a Guild Starfire that I bought secondhand. I put a vintage Bigsby vibrato on it, and some better tuning heads, but it has the stock pickups, which I actually like better than the ones on the original Guilds because they have a higher output. I've also got a Fender Jazzmaster and a Di Pinto, which is a piece of junk that I bought in a pawnshop in Nashville. It's blue sparkle with stars on the neck, half the body is made out of fiberglass, and it has a bite—kind of like playing through a wah pedal with the toe down.
For acoustics, I have a sponsorship with Gibson, so when I'm on the road I just take whatever is available. Right now I'm playing a J-45, but the model doesn't matter to me as long as it sounds and feels good. I have a 1973 Gibson J-50 that I use at home and in the studio.
Do you have any favorite amplifiers?
I ask for Fender Twin Reverbs on the road, but at home I have an original '60s Ampeg Reverbrocket that I bought last year, a vintage Fender Deluxe, and an old SOB. The high mids on the SOB cut so much that when I plug the Di Pinto into it all the cats and dogs in the neighborhood begin freaking out. I also prefer to use two amps in stereo whenever possible, both live and in the studio.
You get some nice effects. What sorts of pedals do you use?
I mostly use cheap effects rather than boutique stuff. For example, I was shopping for a distortion pedal many years ago and the guy at the guitar shop kept showing me the most expensive ones they had. When I asked to try a Boss DS-1, which was the cheapest one, he kept saying, "Nah, you don't want that." But it had exactly the sort of sound I was looking for. I also have a Boss DD-3 delay that I bought secondhand 15 years ago that's still working fine, a Boss CS-3 Compressor that I turn all the way up to get a clipped attack effect, a Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler, and an Ernie Ball volume pedal. The Ernie Ball is my most important pedal, and it's the only one I couldn't live without.
My most interesting pedal was custom made by a guy in Sweden. I told him I wanted something that sounded like a ring modulator but more like a bitcrusher. I was trying to explain all these things and he was looking at me going, "Uh, okay, yeah," and then a week later he said, "Here you go," and it sounded amazing. It's got a little light sensor on it, too, so I can change the pitch with my foot.
Did you use it on the record?
I used it on the Thus:Owls record. The first two minutes of the album is just guitar. I create a loop and then I play over it using that pedal. I also used it on the second tune, "Eagles Coming In."
You also use a lot of handheld gizmos. Describe a few of them.
I use a violin bow Jimmy Page style, and sometimes I'll drop things like a chain on the strings to get certain effects. Most of the things I use came from places like hardware stores, toy stores, and dollar stores, rather than guitar shops. One of them is a circular metal ramekin that fits perfectly between the first and sixth strings, which I use to get submarine-like sounds by tapping on it. There's also a kid's toy I found in a dollar store that plays samples of train and animal sounds. I just hold it over the pickups and the sounds come through.
How about the balloon?
That partly comes from John Zorn's The Book of Heads. I took a couple of lessons from Marc Ribot, who performed the pieces on the album, and he showed me some of the graphic scores. At one point you fill a balloon with 30 grams of rice and pop it over your guitar, which gave me the idea of playing with balloons. One thing I do is to hold a filled balloon over the pickup and pinch the end while slowly letting the air out, which makes some really interesting sounds.
You also play lap-steel and banjo.
I have a cheap lap-steel that I bought in a pawnshop somewhere in Florida. I love the sound, but I can't blow on it like a country guy or anything, so I use it mostly for soundscape-type stuff. The banjo is something that I just started messing around with, but I'd really like to delve into it more and actually learn some proper bluegrass stuff. I just have it tuned to an open Db chord, and I play it with a pick.
Do you use any altered or open tunings on your regular guitars?
Sometimes I'll do on-the-fly re-tunings during the more experimental or improvised parts of a set, but I just create them by ear at the time, and couldn't tell you what they are.
Speaking of improvisation, how much of what Patrick and you guys do live is improvised?
When we are just starting out touring a new album it takes us a little while to become comfortable with the new material before we can really let go. But by the time we get to the end of a tour the material will have become completely transformed, and there will be lots of improvising. It just happens naturally, because the four of us would go crazy if we had to stick to the same thing every night.

Green Sea Turtle
The green sea turtle- One of Florida's endangered reptiles. ABOUT Oceans worldwide in tropical and subtropical is where green sea turtles call home. The green sea turtles get their name from the greenish color of their skin and not from the color of their shell. Depending on its habitat the turtle's shell is usually brown or olive. Currently, scientists are debating whether the green sea turtles are separate species or subspecies because there are two different types. The Atlantic green turtles are found throughout the Atlantic Ocean in North America and Europe. Then there are the Eastern Pacific green turtles...Read More
