A New Mobile App Aims for the Tech Savvy Art Collector in Basel Collectrium Powers VOLTA 7 and SCOPE Basel(June 15, 2011)
Basel, Switzerland (PRWEB) June 15, 2011
Thanks to ArtCapture by Collectrium -- a mobile app that uses image recognition technology -- collectors and collectors-to-be at this summers gathering of art world glitterati in Basel will experience art as never before at VOLTA 7 (Monday, June 13 to Saturday June 18, 2011) and SCOPE Basel (Tuesday, June 14 to Sunday, June 19, 2011).
Collectrium is part of a new generation of art startups looking to change the way people learn about and collect art via new innovations in technology. With Collectriums ArtCapture mobile app, a visitor to the fairs will be able to point her iPhone or iPad at any registered artwork and instantly receive extensive information on the artist and the piece; add the artwork to her My Collection favorites; share with friends via Facebook, Twitter, and email; and contact the gallery about the artwork. ArtCapture will update next week to include an Augmented Reality function that will allow users to envision an artwork hanging on a wall in their home.
Tapped as one of America's Most Promising Start-ups by Bloomberg BusinessWeek (4/15/11), Collectriums mobile technology has been warmly embraced by gallerists around the world since its launch in Basel last June. With its new app, visitors to any of the Basel fairs, including Art Basel, no longer have to make scribbled notes on postcards and flyers. The collector can leave the fair with a browsable list of her favorite artworks on her mobile device, complete with detailed information on each work, artist, exhibiting gallery, and personal notes in effect creating her own personalized virtual gallery and catalogue of the fair. ArtCapture also functions as a QR code scanner, so for sculpture, installation, moving image pieces, or any work with a QR code on the label, visitors can use ArtCapture to scan the QR code to identify works of art.
Collectrium pioneered using image recognition technology to identify works of art. Weve worked exclusively with them over the past year and see Collectrium as a leader in the new breed of mobile and social applications for the art world, said Alexis Hubshman, Founder and President of the SCOPE Art Fair.
The art world is finally opening up to new technology, and we at Collectrium are center stage, serving art collectors, galleries, dealers, art fairs, and artists with our new mobile and web tools. With ArtCapture, we are empowering art lovers to carry their experiences at art fairs and galleries around with them, in the palm of their hands, while some of our fellow start-ups, like Art.sy and Artsicle, aim, for the most part, to move the selling floor to the web, says Boris Pevzner, the former Silicon Valley entrepreneur who founded Collectrium.
In addition to using the ArtCapture app to automatically identify artworks, visitors to the participating fairs will browse the entire art show catalogue on their mobile device; enter images, details and personal notes about works of art not already registered in the system; and view all the programming and scheduling information about the fairs. Pevzner concludes: Weve created a bridge between the physical and virtual art worlds by bringing the power of online technology to that live moment of discovery.
Furthermore, the visitors who manage their own private collections using ArtCapture will have easy access to their artworks through the same mobile app, alongside the artworks exhibited at the art fairs.
Founded by Boris Pevzner in 2009, Collectrium is a New York-based company providing innovative technology for discovering and displaying art on the web and mobile devices, including the revolutionary art identification and art similarity tools. Over time, the Collectrium teamwhich has extensive expertise in the fields of in technology, finance, and the contemporary artswill offer collectors and galleries integrated services for art storage, appraisals, financing and other needs.
Pevzners business ventures are built around a deep understanding of how different kinds of communities can be enhanced and transformed through innovative technology solutions. In 2003 he helped to conceive and develop xfire, a revolutionary social networking online service ($102M exit via a sale to Viacom). He has also co-founded Centrata, a pioneer in cloud computing for enterprise-class datacenters, and conceived and developed Lontra, a leader in service management of Information Technology (IT).
Pevzner is a frequent speaker at IT industry conferences, and he often serves as an advisor to senior technology executives of Fortune 500 companies on issues of IT management and security. Pevzner holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was born in St. Petersburg, only a stones throw away from The Hermitage.

Even 5000 years ago, Egyptian pharaohs has been known a miracle cure for the healing of wounds, which was based on zinc.And in our time are open and other wonderful properties of this trace element.Why zinc is necessary for an organism and how to replenish its stocks, to be healthy and vigorous.
about the importance of zinc for the organism can speak at least the fact that it is found in all tissues and organs.On his body for about 2-3 grams.It is preserved mainly in the bones and muscles, it is up to 60%.But the highest concentration - in the endocrine glands: pituitary, pancreas, male sex glands.Also a lot of zinc in blood cells, retina, liver and kidneys.When zinc
food enters the body, it is absorbed in the small intestine then enters the liver.And from there the blood delivers it to different fibers.
As you can see, zinc is associated with a number of vital organs.It is not surprising that it has a strong influence on processes such as reproduction, growth and development of the body, blood, met
why teenagers are often prescribed a diet with a high content of zinc?The fact that this hormone stimulates the production of trace element responsible for the growth and weight increase, which is particularly important during the intensive growth and sexual maturation.In some countries, the Middle East and parts of Egypt's regions is frequently observed such diseases as dwarfism.The reason - the low zinc content in staple foods.
addition, the amount of zinc in the human diet is directly related to the restoration of tissues, that is the healing of wounds and burns and as a whole the state of the skin.That zinc is recommended for the treatment of acne and other skin troubles.Zinc is also necessary for the growth of hair and nails.It is believed that baldness in men at an older age is partly due to the deficiency of zinc in their diet or poor absorption of the substance.
For those who lead an active lifestyle is important zinc is another feature: it acts as an antioxidant.That is, protects muscle cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, which are inevitably formed due to the increased oxygen consumption during exercise.Furthermore, to form the muscles and strength necessary to develop the male sex hormone testosterone.In this case, for the success of the athletes, and zinc is also necessary for the male reproductive system health.
What can be considered as the first signs of zinc deficiency, and what serious consequences may cause long-term deficiency of this substance?
first warning signal - a loss or change of taste, olfactory and visual senses.This in turn leads to loss of appetite, digestive disorders, night blindness and other diseases.
also the earliest symptoms of zinc deficiency can include such unpleasant conditions such as depression, fatigue and loss of interest in life.
soon make themselves felt, and other symptoms are: hair loss, the appearance of white spots on nails, dermatitis, and slow healing of wounds.In the latter case, good help zinc ointment.But it's much more efficient to change the diet, so that it was more foods rich in zinc.
Brittle bones, rheumatism and arthritis also may be caused by zinc deficiency.After the bones for growth and recovery (which is important not only for children but also for adults) are required, not only calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.Need more and fluorine, and silicon, and zinc, and about them is often overlooked when the elements that are important for the skeletal structure.
separate discussion requires an increased need for zinc in pregnant women and young children.The level of zinc in the body of the mother directly affects the formation of the sky and the lips, eyes, heart, bones, lungs, brain and urinary system of the child.Occurrence of some forms of epilepsy and schizophrenia, can also contribute to zinc deficiency.
How much zinc is necessary for the normal functioning of the body?Daily norm is 15 mg for men and 12 mg - for women.Pregnant and nursing women are advised not to less than 30 mg.It would seem, it is not so much, but statistics show that 50 to 80 percent of people do not receive even this amount.
As for the excessive consumption of zinc, such cases are extremely rare.Although nutritionists and say that an excess of zinc suppresses the immune system, but it should be consumed daily to this effect with the food almost impossible doses of this substance.But to overdo it with food additives is not so difficult, and then show up the toxic properties of the elements: increased heart rate, diarrhea, damage to the pancreas and kidneys.
Why do so many people experience zinc deficiency?It turns out that it's not just the fact that food enters the body in insufficient quantities.The problem is its incomplete assimilation of a number of reasons.Lovers of sweet and salty must know that such food leads to loss of zinc orga¬nizmom.Even worse is the case with alcohol.Even in small quantities it reduces the level of zinc in blood plasma and muscles, but much more - in the liver.
Intensive treatment with cortisone and application of many birth control pills, may cause zinc deficiency.
Ironically, even quite healthy eating habits and lifestyle can be harmful for the assimilation of zinc.For example, fiber blocking its absorption.Therefore, diet, based on a high content of fruits and vegetables, but excludes meat results in absorption of zinc from products such as eggs and milk, by 25% only.So vegetarians also have to think about it.
Intense physical exercise in which inevitable microdamages in the muscle fibers, leading to loss of zinc by the body.For example, athletes in training days lost 50-60% more zinc than in the days of rest.
also known that heavy metal poisoning leads to dezincification.So, one of the occupational diseases of dentists who are dealing with substances that contain mercury, a zinc deficiency with all its consequences.
In addition, substances that reduce the uptake of zinc include oxalic acid (found in some vegetables, and spinach), tannins (coffee, tea), selenium, iron and calcium.But, fortunately, in our food, and contains such substances that help the body to absorb zinc.These include picolinic acid, vitamin B6, citrates and certain amino acids.

(All times are local in Egypt.) 4:39 pm: Hundreds of judges join the protests in Cairo. 4:25 pm: Ahmed Salah, a protester, was in Tahrir square when the fighter jets flew overhead. "It was extremely loud it was very shocking, but then we would turn our victory sign to say we are not scared by their actions. The people were shouting, "Irhal - leave!" To hear our producer's account of the fighter jets, listen below, or click here to find all of our audio: 4:02 pm: Egyptian television reports the curfew is now in effect. 3:51 pm: At least two military fighter jets fly low over protesters in the Egyptian capital, Cairo. The sound is deafening, and the jets keep circling in an apparent show of might, our producer reports. Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnYYUhc4IMQ 3 pm: Al Jazeera's producer in Egypt says reports are circulating that the country's interior minister has been arrested by the army. Hear his report here: 2:30 pm: To protect Al Jazeera's staff on the ground, we're not naming them or identifying their specific locations. Listen to our producer talk about having to relocate the Al Jazeera office here: 2 pm: 'Even President Obama Is Watching Al Jazeera'. Business Insider, citing a post from The Daily Beast, reports Al Jazeera's coverage of the situation in Egypt is being followed at the White House: "Now, huddled in the big office of their boss—one of the administration policy-makers trying to calibrate the US response to the unfolding drama—the advisers watched Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's first statement. Two television sets were running, one showing CNN and the other a satellite feed from Al Jazeera."  1:35 pm: For more on the closure of the bureau in Cairo, Al Jazeera's producer in the Egyptian capital reports: Just spoke with staffer at the Cairo bureau. While our correspondent and other staff were out, security forces (not army) entered the office and demanded filming permits and press IDs. They were told that all the recently arrived staff hadn't had time to get their paperwork in order and so didn't have any. They ordered our bureau staff to take down the camera doing live shots from the balcony and threatened to take it if we didn't. So now we're just showing "latest pictures". 12:47 pm: Death toll rises. Al Jazeera reports 150 protesters killed since Friday in Egypt's demonstrations.11:48 am: Turkey announces it is sending two Turkish Airlines planes to Egypt on Sunday to evacuate Turkish citizens, the state-run Anatolian news agency quotes embassy officials in Cairo as saying. 11:40 am: Al Jazeera issues a statement denouncing the closure of its bureau in Cairo. "The Al Jazeera Network strongly denounces and condemns the closure of its bureau in Cairo by the Egyptian government.  The Network received notification from the Egyptian authorities this morning. Al Jazeera has received widespread global acclaim for their coverage on the ground across the length and breadth of Egypt. An Al Jazeera spokesman said that they would continue their strong coverage regardless: "Al Jazeera sees this as an act designed to stifle and repress the freedom of reporting by the network and its journalists.   In this time of deep turmoil and unrest in Egyptian society it is imperative that voices from all sides be heard the closing of our bureau by the Egyptian government is aimed at censoring and silencing the voices of the Egyptian people.  "Al Jazeera assures its audiences in Egypt and across the world that it will continue its in-depth and comprehensive reporting on the events unfolding in Egypt.  Al Jazeera journalists have brought unparalleled reporting from the ground from across Egypt in the face of great danger and extraordinary circumstances.  Al Jazeera Network is appalled at this latest attack by the Egyptian regime to strike at its freedom to report independently on the unprecedented events in Egypt." 11:27 am: Al Jazeera's Evan Hill, tweeting from Cairo, says: Several aspects of the apparent government shutdown of AJ remain unclear. We're all waiting now. 10:55 am:  Al Jazeera's correspondent Dan Nolan and web producer Evan Hill say Egyptian state television report that Egyptian authorities have ordered the Al Jazeera Arabic offices in Cairo closed and have suspended its correspondents' accreditations. "The team watched the announcement go out live on Nile TV. They said ... broadcasting license and press credentials are being revoked," Hill reported from Cairo.10 am: Sunday is the start of the work week in Egypt, but as Al Jazeera's Dan Nolan reports, things in Cairo are "a long way from business as usual". He says authorities are placing new military roadblocks on Galaa street in Cairo, blocking traffic from going through to the Corniche that runs along the Nile river. "Still a very tense scene with military everywhere," he says. Later, he reports that witnesses have told Al Jazeera that the military has begun moving in on the streets of the Red Sea resort city of Sharm El Sheikh to protect tourist areas. "What makes this so significant is that this is in the Sinai Peninsula. Under the terms of the Camp David accord, a peace treaty signed between Israel and Egypt, there was to be complete restrictions on any military ever entering the Sinai. It was always that the security in the Sinai could only ever be handled by police forces. This would indicate that police are no longer doing their job in the Sinai peninsula." 9:27 am: Making the rounds on the social networking site Facebook is an album compiled by user Leil-Zahra Mortada, who is collecting photos of women in the Egypt protests. She calls it a "homage to all those women out there fighting, and whose voices and faces are hidden from the public eye!"[ibimage==4704==FeaturedImagePost==none==self==null]The protests in Cairo brought men, women and youth to the streets [AFP]8:18 am: Salma ElTarzi, a protestor in Cairo, tells Al Jazeera by telephone that she and other demonstraters have been subject to "brutal violence" from police. "We've been seeing atrocities and what's more important is the withdrawal of police. On the 28th midday, they were brutally bombing us with tear gas, with live bullets. My brother was shot with a shotgun. There was blood everywhere. Suddenly, after all this violence, police started retreating for no apparent reason." Despite the violence, ElTarzi said she will be back on the streets today. "We will be back on the streets everyday until he (Mubarak) leaves and until we choose who is going to follow." 7:30 am: The social networking site Twitter is abuzz with reaction to a comedic spoof of the Egypt crisis on the US sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL).  SNL comedian Fred Armisen impersonates Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's president, saying: "[My people] love me. They are upset because the internet is down. "I'm willing to take the following steps to show I'm willing to change. Number 1: I'm firing my cabinet. Number 2, I'm hiring a new cabinet, made up of members of my fired cabinet." Twitter user FR_INC writes: "Egypt still too much of an open wound to be satirizing with a Mubarak impersonator on SNL, no?" But user LizzieCady disagrees, tweeting: "No, making fun of #Mubarak on SNL was not "too soon"--Americans need to know what an idiot he is." 7:09 am: Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros, reporting from just outside the port city of Suez, says protests are expected to continue there today. "The interesting thing will be the dynamic between the military and the civilians. What we were witnessing on Saturday was a cordial atmosphere between the military and the people - the people were bringing them tea and eating and drinking with them inside their tanks. "But as the curfew was being imposed it became a lot more tense. We could see military personnel arresting some of the protesters. It really shows the delicate situation the military is in here." 6:18 am: Al Jazeera's Jane Dutton, reporting from Cairo, said the streets seemed safe, and relatively empty early in the morning. "I was able to see a few hundred people or so in the main square, Tahrir Square. The police have just disappeared. Any security at this stage is in the hands of the army. Vigilantes have been taking to the streets to prevent looting - we've been hearing stories of widespread looting across many cities. But at the moment, very very quiet here in Cairo." 5:00 am: Al Jazeera's correspondents in the Americas report from Egypt solidarity protests in Toronto, Canada Washington, DC Los Angeles, California and at the United Nations in New York. Demonstrations also took place in the US city of Chicago, Illinois. 3:10am Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane reports that the United States will have to review its aid policy towards Egypt following the violent protests across the country. Culhane says that there is a sense of excitement among Egyptians in the US who never expected to see the Mubarak government so close to collapse.3:08am Former Minister Mustafa Al Gindi, a former member of Egypt's parliament, from the opposition Wafd political party tells Al Jazeera that Egyptians want democracy and this is the only plausible way forward for the country.2:24am Cairo residents say that the military is guarding only certain areas of the city and seen as unable to provide protection for citizens. The army's role is seen as critical. 1:30am Tourists have been warned by many governments to stay away from Egypt, but travelers are not yet being evacuated. Meanwhile, protesters continue to defy the overnight curfew in several Egyptian cities.  1:22am Ayman Mohyeldin tweets: "shift of mood from celebratory 2 tense as night fell & absence of security on streets created problem 4 law & order". 12:45am Tunisia remains unstable, Egypt is on the brink, and pro-Western Arab countries such as Jordan and Yemen remain vulnerable to escalating anti-government protests over high unemployment, rising prices and political repression. View our interactive slideshow from demonstrations across the region -- The Domino effect: Pan-Arab unrest. 12:34am Shadi Hamid of the Brookings Doha Center tells Al Jazeera that the outlook is poor for stock markets in the Middle East and elsewhere, as Egypt uncertainty continues. He mentions an over 10 per cent drop in Egypt's index on Thursday and the largest one-day decline in the NYSE for the past six months on Friday. 12:32am Reports say that 19 Egyptian businessmen on private jets arrived in Dubai after leaving Cairo's airport.

5 free things to do in London
Summer in London is full of activities. Most expensive, but plenty for the perfect price of free which you can do. Today, we're presenting 5 great ones.
Visit the free museums
Many of London's museums are free. But we're not talking any old museums... we're talking the city's top museums! This includes the British Museum on Great Russell St. (which is London's most visited attraction), the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square, the National Portrait Gallery around the corner on St Martin's Place, the Tate Modern and Tate Britain on the River Thames, and the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum, all in South Kensington.
Catch the changing of the guard
Taking place every day at 11.30am during the summer (and every second day during the winter), the Changing of the Guard in front of Buckingham Palace is one of the most popular things to witness in London. Make sure to get down early to get a good viewing point.
Take in a bird's eye view of London
You can save yourself the price of a 'flight' on the London Eye by climbing to the top of Primrose Hill in North London. Here you will be treated to breathtaking views of the British capital for absolutely nothing.
Rock out to the latest up and coming bands
Located in one of London's most famous suburbs, Notting Hill Arts Club (21 Notting Hill Gate), has been showcasing London's up and coming acts for 11 years now. Its small stage makes it that more intimate, while the old sofas are still perfect for enjoying the tunes.
Go on a free walking tour
What's the catch I hear you ask? The thing is, there is none! Sandeman's New London Tours operate two free walking tours in London, and both set off twice a day. The first of these is the 'Old City of London Free Tour' which leaves opposite Tower Hill tube station daily at 10am and 4pm, while the other is 'Royal London Free Tour' which leaves by Wellington Arch at 11am and 3pm every day. Both tours take in many of the city's top sights.

One of my favourite things to do in London is to walk along the Thames path after dark. Seeing everything lit up on the South bank is quite a spectacle. I'd recommend walking along the north bank from Tower Bridge to Westminster to get the best views.
Dan on 23 July, 2009
If it's a cheap or free nightclub/night out you're after then there is loads of free comedy eg The comedy cafe on a Wednesday. There is also Cargo on a Friday night which is free to get in and an iconic club. My favourite is the 50's bowling disco (shake rattle and bowl) at the Bloomsbury bowling lanes which is fairly cheap and a great night out!
Big Smoke Boredom on 11 August, 2009
The great thing about London is even though it is one of the most expensive cities in the world, which is full of rip off tourist traps, there are still plenty of free things to do and places to visit.
I also like to walk along the River Thames at night and I would recommend walking the south bank on the Houses of Parliament side of the Westminster Bridge.

Strong is here to stay - Let go of the last of my old skeletons
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
The past few months I have let go of so much, I remembered so much from my past, it was hard it hurt and i was reunited with my brother after 37 years but i had one last piece to the puzzle to complete letting go the things that made me feel unworthy, ashamed, so much anxiety, humiliation,pain and anguish. That night I had remembered was filled with awful not thiings i wanted to talk about. I realized that I have not been as compassionate by myself. I was listening to someone's story and it had to do with a similar journey and my mind was saying why does he feel that way. It wasn't his fault not his to carry the guilt, shame, etc... as I heard myself saying this things in my head a mirror turned it back on myself and at that point I realized I had to talk, I had to let it out. I had written it out the week before but still not felt my feelings. I started to talk about it with my therapist and stopped at that point that caused the great hurt. I was afraid - but when i heard the story that weekend I knew I had to. I talked to my brothers and they too felt I should get it over with. I had to face the fear - their words hit me, why let the fear hold you back hold you in that pain that I was letting my father and step mom win, at that point i realized it was like i was still letting them beat me down the more i kept it in the more i treated myself badly in my head. So my appt was on July 3, 2014 at 5pm I was going there with a purpose. My therpist asked me how I was and I said let's get to this, I have get it out. I told her I would have to read it as i felt so much humilitaiton and shame, i was afraid of being judged again it's my head the little me blah blah blah trying to keep me from speaking up! So I pulled out my journal and started to read the first paragraph the part that was so hard and what happened next is I put the paper down and finally started talking and not reading but what happened as i start not reading but talking my tears came flowing, all that time of not being able to cry or show any emotions (fear of reprecussion - when it happened i had been told cry and it would be worse) i held in so much when pain happened i removed myself at that moment it all came out every tear i had held back and more. My therapist was nothing but compassionate and told me to let it all out she held my hadn and hugged me and i just let it out. After i pulled myself together she asked me what i was going to do for myself that night how would i handle it. I told her I was going to just decompressed and make sure i had my own space to take care of me. She wanted me to rest and ask for help if needed. We talked a little more and then the session was over as i was leaving she told me her partner would say "i'm f'in awesome" whenever he had done something good for himself. I laughed as i was walking out she stopped me and reminded me that i was doing great work and then told me i want you to say "i am an awesome f'in ROCKSTAR!" so i repeated it and she said no say it no yell it and mean it. I did and it made me laugh she gave me a hug and told me to remember it.
Can i say everytime i have made a great choice about food, exercise or anything that matter that comes into my head.
July 4th i had the Freedom Run 5K my goal was to have fun and try to get in under an hour because the last bunch of races i lost the fun the joy i would get from my training and races after getting sick for all that time(see previous blogs) I had committed the medal to my little brother who can't walk much less run more than a block he's in wheel chair or walker.. I came in under an hour 58 mis give or take and had a good time. I called my little brother to let him know how it went and that i was going to send him the medal his response was you keep the medal your earned it yesterday and send me the lapel pin that was part of the medal. You ran the freedomthon now you are free big sis. I am free - I left all that crap in that office that day and it felt liberating.
So that has been my mantra in my head I'm an awesome f'in rockstar or I'm f'in awesome pops in my head constantly. It feels good to love my body, love myself to make healthy choices, for once just to really love and be free within me. I know I'm not fixed overnight but I know I am a SURVIVOR who is healing her body, heart, mind and soul daily.
Running to the finish with my best friend Krista
Krista & I with our medals
Time to train hard for Half Marathon in Vegas.

Level One Equine Musculo-Skeletal Performance Anatomy with Health Parameters, Performance Injuries and Treatments - Equine Anatomy Course
This is so much more than a course in memorizing anatomical structures. Students completing this equine anatomy course will have deeply explored four terrific texts that will become career-long useful references for the equine body worker while developing skills of observation and description in practical field exercises. From beginners with limited equine knowledge to experienced equestrians and bodywork practitioners there is something for everyone. The emphasis is on taking anatomy to the field and locating structures on actual horses while also introducing students to the range of injuries that are common in performance horses and some of the treatment modalities used to help them. The course is self-paced and assignments are graded online with instant feedback, with the exception of the field assignments, which receive individual instructor review and comments. The course instructor is available for questions by phone or email.
Equine Anatomy Requirements for Masterson Method Certification Program
This course was developed specifically for Certification in the Masterson Method®. The scope of this course is to help the student learn where to search amongst available resources and to begin to develop the ability to articulate to others the anatomical structures that students will be touching and moving during a bodywork session. The syllabus discusses the course goals and work program in detail.
Study format:
The format of the equine anatomy course is self-study. There are four textbooks which the student must purchase independently (see course syllabus). There are six sections to the course, each of which has a field exercise component and one or more study worksheets to complete.
Anatomy Course Required books: All books below can be purchased on our Store
- Beyond Horse Massage, Masterson, Reinhold, 2011
- The Horse Anatomy Workbook, Raynor, 2006 or Horse Anatomy: Second Edition, Peter Goody
- Horse Anatomy for Performance, Gillian Higgins, 2012
- Horse's Muscles in Motion, Wyche, 2002
Fee: $165
This price includes access to the online course and materials download from the website. If you want a course binder and printed materials, you will be able to purchase these directly from the Avalon staff for $50 within the US, including shipping. Outside the United States the fee is $30 plus shipping and handling charges.
Time to complete course: Jim Masterson requires that a student have completed the anatomy requirement prior to attending the second coaching course in the field work portion of the Masterson Method certification program.
Course authors: The course is developed by Lisa Haldane and Vanessa Helvey, both certified Masterson Method practitioners and instructors, with the technical and professional oversight of Lacy Crowley, DVM. Administration of the course is through Lisa's company Avalon Performance Horse and Rider Support, a trade name of Avalon Professional Services LLC. The Coordinator is Beckie Haynes.
Availability of Avalon staff: Equine anatomy is just one of the activities that Lisa and Vanessa and Beckie Haynes are involved in. The other primary work is the training and showing of cutting horses. We make every effort to respond to questions and work assignments within one or two days but would like students to understand that the training and show schedule is primary and we work around that. Also, in these days of instant communications people can get impatient if they don't hear feedback right away whether it be day or night. As owner of this company I give my staff permission to set boundaries on the hours of their availability so that they can develop balance in their own personal lives, treating them with the same care that we give to our horses.
We hope you enjoy the course!
Lisa Haldane, owner
Avalon Performance Horse and Rider Support

MP caught recycling predecessor's speech
Queensland's new LNP Arts Minister has been caught out presenting the same speech to State Parliament as her ALP predecessor did six months ago.
A spokesman for Minister Ros Bates says nothing changed in six months and the speech about the Art Gallery Board's ability to raise funds was not political.
He says the Minister is not impressed with departmental officers who provided her with the same 750-word speech given by former arts minister Rachel Nolan.
The spokesman says a few words had been changed.
But he says the speech about getting new legislation through parliament was still pertinent.
He says the minister was not aware it was the same speech and she will seek a meeting with the director general and deputy tomorrow morning.

The Libyan Iron and Steel Company (Lisco) is one of the largest iron and steelmaking companies operating in North Africa. Based in Misrata, it is subsidized and owned by the Libyan government. Lisco's foundation stone was officially laid on 18 September 1979. In 2004, the online magazine Arab Steel ranked Lisco third among the largest Arab iron and steel companies.[1]
Lisco is among the largest companies in Libya, having an annual production capacity of approximately 1,324,000 tons of liquid steel.[2] Lisco's operations are primarily supplied by imported iron ore pellets from Brazil, Canada, and Sweden for use as raw materials.[3] Natural gas is used to manufacture sponge iron and hot briquetted iron. Hot-briquetted iron (HBI) became a significant Libyan mineral export since the LISCO II plant began producing it in 1997. About 54% of Lisco's exports (by weight) in 2000 was HBI. Bars and rods shipped to Egypt and Tunisia accounted for about 23% of the company's exports.[3] Lisco has its own captive port with specialized facilities, such as a telescopic ship-loading conveyor for loading HBI into ships. The conveying system extends from the HBI plant to the port, about 1,500 meters away.[4]
Most of Lisco's rebar production is sold locally, with the domestic industry consuming about 25% of the company's flat steel products. Lisco exports over 60% of its product, with roughly 50% directed to markets in Italy and Spain. The rest go to other European countries (France, Greece and Turkey), Middle Eastern countries (Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and Jordan) and also to China. In 2003, the company produced 835kt[5] of long and flat steel products, of which 49% was exported. Lisco also exported 339 kn (628 km/h) of its 412 kn (763 km/h) HBI production.[6] In 2004, Lisco started exporting about 60,000 tons of HBI to the United States through an Italian company called Techint. Lisco's biggest local client is the General Company for Piping, based in Benghazi.[7] The remainder goes to the private sector and petroleum companies, like the National Oil Corporation. Production costs increased during 2005 due to a substantial increase in the price of imported iron ore pellets, however the price of Lisco's final products inclined 100%

Expansion & Development[edit]
In 2001, the Libyan government proposed several state-company projects for which joint ventures would be considered. This included a $20 million modification of Lisco's electric arc furnace as well as construction and installation of a $17 million ladle furnace. The Government also promoted development of numerous mineral deposits, including clay, gypsum, iron, lead, salt, sodium carbonate, and stone.[10] Additionally, projects were initiated for quarrying limestone and dolomite and manufacturing lime and calcined dolomite for Lisco's As Seddadah facility, 125 km southwest of Misrata.[11] In 2004, Lisco signed a loan contract to develop LISCO I aimed at boosting capacity from 674 kn (1,248 km/h) of liquid steel per year to 1.100 kn (2.037 km/h). This project is the first stage to raise capacity of LISCO I and II. In 2006, Lisco initiated an ambitious project aiming to double design capacity to 2.5 million tons by further developing facilities on the 4.5-square-mile (12 km2) plant near Misrata. Lisco signed a loan contract with one foreign partner, and the project was expected to be finalized in 2006. The Islamic Bank in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, partially financed the project's cost, with Lisco supplying the remaining amount. On 2 April 2007, Lisco signed financing agreements with five Libyan banking institutions (Sahara Bank, Aljamhoria, Attejari, Alomma and Alwahda) for 840 million Libyan dinars ($650 million) to execute another phase of their expansion plan. Lending his support, Libya's Secretary of Minerals and Industry, Ali Yusuf Zikri, said the loan should help create new employment opportunities and meet increasing local demand.
Production Performance[edit]
In 2003, Lisco produced 835 kn (1,546 km/h) of long and flat products (444kt long products; 391 kn (724 km/h) of flat products), including 412 kn (763 km/h) of rebar, 391 kn (724 km/h) of hot-rolled coils, and 412 kn (763 km/h) of HBI. Production of long and flat products grew 18% in 2004; mainly rebar (460kt); hot-rolled coils (429kt) and HBI (606kt). Lisco produced over 574 kn (1,063 km/h) of finished products in the first half of 2005, increasing 65% over the first half of 2004. The company also increased liquid steel production 52%. Rebar was 57.3% of finished products, hot-rolled coils was 39.3%. Sponge iron production was 579.407 tons, 348.243 tons of HBI, 376.239 tons of billets and blooms and 281.832 tons of slabs. During the first nine months of 2005, Lisco reached its highest production ever; 1 million tons of liquid steel. This was confirmed by Secretary of the Popular Committee, Dr. Mohammad Abu Ojeila Al-Mabrouk at celebrations in September 2005 on the occasion of the passage of 15 years since the company's mills began production, which concurs with the anniversary of the Al-Fatah Revolution in Libya. In 2005, Lisco achieved the highest rate of increase in steel production among Arab companies, which amounted to 34.8%. Its production increased by 65% in the period from January to June 2005 compared with the same period of 2004.[12] Production of both long and flat products was 1.070 tons in 2006. Flat products achieved a new output record for the company of 564kt, 13% higher than 2005. Production of bars and rods was 26% lower than 2005. Long product sales were 642 kn (1,189 km/h) in 2006, a sizeable increase from 634 kn (1,174 km/h) in 2005, forcing the company to import 168 kn (311 km/h) of long products, mostly from Ukraine.

In 2003, Lisco exported 373 kn (691 km/h) of finished products (48.5% of production). 881 kn (1,632 km/h) of various products were exported in 2004, including 477 kn (883 km/h) of HBI (54% of exports) and 72 kn (133 km/h) of rebar. It is considered the only Arab company manufacturing this material. Flat products were 59% of exports in 2004. Europe received about 64.4% followed by Asian and Arab countries. Higher domestic demand for rebar resulted in exports declining to 20 kn (37 km/h) in 2004. Exports in the first half of 2005 was approximately 384 kn (711 km/h); mostly HBI (54%) and flat products (31.7%). Exports fell for long products (81%), flat products (20%) and HBI (5%). This drop is due to the fact that the company stopped exporting rebar as well as a global recession, which led to a demand contraction for iron and steel products, particularly hot-rolled coils and HBI. Exports in 2006 exceeded one million tons, including 449 kn (832 km/h) of flat products. During the first quarter of 2006 Lisco increased hot-rolled coils exports by 125% and exported sponge iron for the first time.[13]
Domestic Sales[edit]
Lisco's sales for both long and flat products in the domestic market increased 96% during the first half of 2005. Most of this increase came from purchases of long products which grew to 329.039 tons a 10% increase on the preceding year; flat products increased 17%. During the first quarter of 2006, 145.7 kn (269.8 km/h) of rebar was sold domestically, a 9% increased compared to 1Q2005; additionally, domestic sales of hot-rolled coils increased 93 percent to 5.6 kn (10.4 km/h). Higher domestic sales volume reflected a growing trend in the Libyan market's demand and consumption rates for steel products, especially for rebar, which amounted to 138.6 kn (256.7 km/h).
Financial Performance[edit]
Increased demand for reinforced steel in the domestic market and higher prices for steel worldwide helped to boost the profits of the Libyan Iron and Steel Company to over 100 million Libyan dinars (USD $80.5 million) by the end of 2004.[14] The company's return on export sales in 2003 was $165 million, it rose to $275 million in 2004 and reached $250 million by 2005. Revenue from operating activities increased from approximately $300 million in 2003 to more than $435 million in 2004. According to Lisco's Chairman Mohamed Elmabruk, by the end of 2005, revenue had surpassed $400 million.[15]

Aeromotive Stackable Carbureted Regulator
Product Details
Aeromotive Stackable Carbureted Regulator
Aeromotive?s new Stackable Carbureted Fuel Pressure Regulators (P/N 13217). Ideal for carbureted nitrous engines, these regulators allow you to stack them together to control multiple pressures with a single fuel pump. The new Stackable Regulator is a clean, lightweight solution, ideal for nitrous engine combinations where unique pressures are desired.
No longer will sportsman and professional racers have to screw together unsightly brass T?s and pipe fittings to create a so-called fuel log. The Aeromotive Stackable Regulator solution creates its own integrated fuel log, by utilizing a patent pending flow-through designed modular regulator body. Using a positive O-ring seal, simply bolt as many of these regulators together as needed using the provided cap screws and O-rings. Each billet aluminum, CNC-machined regulator is adjustable from 5-12 psi and is equipped with O-ring and ORB-Ports including; ORB-10 (flow-through) ports and (2) ORB-06 outlet ports.
Capable of feeding single or dual carburetors and 1, 2, 3 and 4 or more stages of nitrous, all with total control of unique fuel pressures at every distribution point. For the ultimate nitrous fuel system, it?s easy to combine Aeromotive?s Pro-Stock 2 or 4-port regulators with the new Stackable Regulators, where all flow and pressure control is consolidated for a much cleaner, lighter package. Screw the combined Stackable Regulators to the inlet of an Aeromotive Carbureted Fuel Pressure Regulator, either dead-head or bypass style and control your carburetor system pressure separate from each stage of nitrous.
With the new, Aeromotive Stackable Regulators you have more flexibility than ever before. These regulators are completely serviceable in the field without removing them from the car and can be combined with the Aeromotive A2000 fuel pump or the A1000, Eliminator and Pro-Series Pump.

VIDEO: Man makes proposal to girlfriend, reveals teabag in ring case
Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year, so this man decided it was the right time to get down on one knee and pop the big question.

The MIUI interface has been brought to life via Xiaomi Tech, It is basically a stock and aftermarket firmware meant for smartphones and tablets. The big difference here is in the fact that the interface features a heavily modified and hard-coded user interface.
This hard-coded user interface takes away the Android app drawer, while visual comparisons can be made with Apple's iOS and Samsung's TouchWiz UI. But most importantly, it offers that fresh new look at Android that the OS has been crying out for so long.
Xiaomi's MIUI has been programmed to put all your apps on the home screen, wgile removing the app drawer that you so often see on most other Android smartphones that are available in the market.

In fact, the custom ROM for the same includes additional functionality that's not found in stock Android. The list includes a fully theme-enabled user interface, new music options, refined gallery and camera apps, and an alarm clock that makes itself heard even if the device is turned off.
Xiaomi is anyway expected to go the distance among the other prime Chinese handset makers in the Indian market. The smartphones the company revealed in a recently held event are built to last. And with the fresh new MIUI by its side, the challenge just got a whole lot bigger.

Music in the Temple - January 2016 Yavoh
When we see images of the ancient Jewish temple in Jerusalem, they are generally devoid of the activities that would have taken place there. We see the walls of the courts, the sanctuary and the altar, but we generally do not see the priests and those visiting the Temple with their sacrifices to worship the Lord. Moreover, we neither smell the sweet fragrance of the sacrifices on the altar nor hear the sounds of psalms being sung, accompanied by the harp, timbrels, and cymbals.
The largest book in the Bible is the book of Psalms, which is a compilation of the music that was a part of the worship in the Temple. Certain psalms were featured each week, on specific days of the week. Other psalms were part of the formal worship in the Temple during the appointed times for Biblical holidays such as Pesach and Sukkot. Actually, the book of Psalms is made up of five books compiled as a single book in our Bibles, composed by famous musicians and authors, including King David, Moses, and the sons of Korah.
Consider this for a moment: every psalm in the Bible was probably part of the music of the Temple. Sadly for us, we don't hear them as they were played, we only have the words. Given that the words are picturesque, prophetic, and full of truth, can you imagine hearing them set to music?
There are some who contend that music is primal to mankind, meaning that every living person can relate to it in his deepest soul. It is as if our souls have a place where music, with its beat, its harmony, and its melody resonate in us. Music certainly is a "force multiplier" for our emotions. Musical arrangements can influence us to feel joyful, sad, or even fearful. A dirge, for example, is music to assist the mourner to draw out emotions of sadness. Lullabies are comforting and help babies and children to fall sleep. David played music for King Saul to soothe his stressed times.
So it came about whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would depart from him. 1 Samuel 16:23
Therefore, music is a powerful element in worship offered by the faithful. Some even contend that music is the path to unite the soul and spirit in the worship of the Almighty, although, in my opinion, not ALL music helps us to worship Adonai. Some music can be annoying, distracting, qualifying only as noise.
Here is another interesting thought concerning music. Along with developing tools for agriculture and hunting, early man discovered he could make a tool that made pleasing sounds. The making of instruments was an effort to make a beautiful sound beyond what the voice could produce, to join different sounds in a coordinated fashion that was pleasant and joyful.
Based on archaeological evidence of people playing instruments, even ancient peoples held music in high esteem, depicting it in their artwork. Further evidence suggests that the first cross-cultural sharing of different people groups usually included the types of instruments that had been developed and their music. The Bible also lends evidence relating to the use of music in ancient times, even prior to Temple worship.
The earliest archaeological evidence of musical instruments being depicted originated with Mesopotamia and the Egyptians and includes pictures of an ancient "psaltery."
A psaltery was a stringed instrument like a harp or a lyre. The player's fingers produced the sound; the structure of the harp and tension on the strings produced the tones and the notes. Consider what the strings would have been made of. There were several later technological developments before metal wire ever came into play. The first strings most likely used the sinew of animals or fibrous vegetable material to make cordage.
Along with the psalteries were wind instruments such as flutes or tubes.
A tube with holes for the fingers is the ancient flute. If you have ever blown over a bottle or a narrow tube to produce a deep tone, you have the know-how to use ancient "tubes." The modern instrument "tuba" is a refined form of the earlier. The earliest of these instruments would have been hollow tubes from vegetation such as a cane stalk or pieces of wood hollowed out before metallurgy could form the tubal structure. The earliest metal tubes were probably made of copper or tin. Silver and gold would have also been used.
It follows that the trumpets and horns were another group of instruments using the blowing of air. Trumpets were actually formed out of metal (tin or silver); horns were made from a horned animal. The shofar of today is the same as was it was in ancient times: a ram's horn with a mouth piece formed at the tip. The multi-twist shofar is primarily from the ibex. I'm certain that you have heard of something called a "bull horn." Bull horns made both an excellent horn for music and a container for other items. The modern hand-held amplifier used in crowd control still bears the same name. As a side note, the Hebrew people do not use "bull horns" as that would be a reminder of the sin of the "golden calf." The trumpet and the horn were the first musical instruments used in warfare because the sound could be heard over—or distinguished from—the other sounds of battle. The bugle is the modern equivalent.
Making a metal trumpet was no small feat. It was probably formed by pouring molten metal into a cast and then shaping it into the desired form. Moses instructed the children of Israel to make two silver trumpets. They were used to call the leaders and to assemble the children of Israel for certain activities.
Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out. Numbers 10:2
There were also instruments to set a rhythm. We classify those instruments today as percussion. The earliest percussion instruments were probably hitting a stick on something to produce a distinct sound. A drum could be formed by stretching an animal hide tightly over a frame and thumping it with a stick or the hand. The ancients, however, primarily depicted the use of clappers and castanets instead of drums. Percussion instruments can be played with the fingers or the hands.
If you connect several castanets (small castanet type devices that rattled or jingled) within a drum frame, you have a timbrel/tambourine. The tambourine is one of the oldest instruments, allowing the player to operate many castanets in a drum structure to strike or shake. The ancient timbrel was named the tambourine when it was introduced in Europe. Castanets and timbrels led to all forms of bells. A bell emits a single tone and pitch. The high priest of Israel had small bells attached to the bottom of his garment that produced a timbrel sound as he walked about. We don't know if there were different tones harmonizing together or whether it was a single tone, ringing out multiple times.
They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe, Exodus 39:25
We should also mention the louder version of the clappers and castanets: the cymbal. The sound from this instrument was the loudest and certainly commanded the moment in music. Cymbals were a significant part of temple worship. Consider these references.
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were appointed to sound aloud cymbals of bronze; 1 Chronicles 15:19
Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Psalm 150:5
The Apostle Paul made reference to the sound of cymbals, comparing it to a person speaking without love. A clanging cymbal can actually be an obnoxious and disturbing sound if it is not part of a musical pattern (the love part).
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:1
Let's summarize our list of ancient instruments that we can relate to today (basically, instruments for strummers, blowers, and bangers).
Stringed instruments included harps that ranged from 4 to 10 strings. Some of them were played upright or sideways—leading to our modern guitar. Other stringed instruments were played flat and horizontal. They may have led ultimately to what we know of today as a piano.
Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre; Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings. Psalm 33:2
I will sing a new song to You, O God; upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You, Psalm 144:9
Wind instruments like the flutes and tubes of ancient times have become all manner of instruments today. Modern brass instruments are essentially tubes of various sizes and lengths with valves to change the notes. The entire line of modern woodwind instruments can trace their roots back to the flutes played by our ancestors.
Percussion instruments included instruments that were not strummed or blown; instead, they were struck or shaken, such as castanets and tambourines. The original tambourine was a hand drum with castanets to produce a distinct rhythmic sound. Other devices included the timbrel, bells, and cymbals.
All of these devices were the accompaniment for people who were singing words that were set to an agreed-upon series of tones, which is called music.
Most Christians are not aware that the actual Scriptures were rarely read aloud to the people. Instead, the people heard the Scriptures as they were "canted." Canting the Scriptures is the singing of the Scriptures. In a traditional synagogue and in some Messianic assemblies, the traditional prayers and liturgy (repeated Scriptures and blessings) are all canted and are presented in musical form. The actual Torah portion is also "canted." The reason: to make that which is heard by God to be pleasant and soothing to the souls of those worshipping. Most of our Messianic brethren are familiar with the Aaronic blessing of "The Lord bless you and keep you…" We usually hear it sung.
A codex is a book form of the content in a written scroll. Scripture was originally written in scroll form, but in the C.E. (Common Era) a codex of Scripture was formed. Some of the earliest codices of the Tanach (the acronym for the Torah, Prophets, and other Writings forming the Old Testament) also added the vowel markings in the Hebrew text. This was NOT done in the scroll form. The vowel markings were not inserted to clarify the pronunciation of the Hebrew text; they were inserted to assist a cantor in singing the text! This is why the Name of the Lord YHVH is written in a two-syllable form as "Yahweh" or "Yahveh" and as a three-syllable form as "Yehovah." It was a way to direct the cantor in singing the Name! Orthodox Jews have inserted Adonai and HaShem in the cantorial so as not to speak the Holy Name. What is the correct pronunciation in straight speech? That is another discussion.
Before we leave the subject of ancient music and its instruments, we should not forget the element of dance that was a part of music and its celebration/worship form. Dance requires music, and music oftentimes results in dance because many times when the soul of a person is emotionally moved by the sound of music, it causes the body to move as well. Miriam, Moses' sister, took a timbrel and led the Israelite women in a celebratory dance to worship the Lord after the crossing of the Red Sea and the destruction of the Egyptian chariots.
Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dancing. Miriam answered them, "Sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted; the horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea." Exodus 15:20-21
Even the Psalms connect dancing with the use of musical instruments.
Let them praise His name with dancing; let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre. Psalm 149:3
King David is one the most familiar dancers from Scripture, especially when He worshipped the Lord and escorted the procession of the Ark. Today, many Messianics dance in the procession of the Torah Scroll in a Torah service. On Simchat Torah, they actually dance with the scroll to joyous music.
5Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the Lord with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals. 14And David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. 2 Samuel 6:5, 14
King David was more into music than just playing a harp; he wrote some of the Psalms and danced in worship. David not only collected all of the materials for the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem (his son, Solomon, actually directed its building), but also materials for musical instruments and appointed the choir and the choir (musical director) leader.
Then David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their relatives the singers, with instruments of music, harps, lyres, loud-sounding cymbals, to raise sounds of joy. 1 Chronicles 15:16
This was no small group, given that its task was to provide the music in the Temple. There is more evidence in this account:
…and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the Lord saying, "He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting," then the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 2 Chronicles 5:12-13
David also gathered others from the ranks of the army of Israel and assigned them the task of providing music to the army and in the worship of God.
Moreover, David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service some of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with lyres, harps and cymbals; and the number of those who performed their service was: Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king. Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the Lord. Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth. All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer to exalt him according to the words of God, for God gave fourteen sons and three daughters to Heman. All these were under the direction of their father to sing in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, harps and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman were under the direction of the king. 1 Chronicle 25:1-6
Did you notice that this form of worship was actually referred to as "prophesying?" To prophesy is to "speak forth." The Psalms many times are filled with profound and prophetic words.
In the second temple period, after the Babylonian destruction, Ezra the priest again re-established the music in the Temple following King David's example.
Now when the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord according to the directions of King David of Israel. Ezra 3:10
There is no question that there was music in the Temple and that it was a significant part of all worship before God. In our own expressions of faith today, we find music is a vital part of our public worship as well. It touches part of our soul and it assists us in making a connection of our spirits with the Spirit of the Lord.
I suppose it is ironic that I am writing this article about this subject. I have virtually no musical talent at all. I can't sing on pitch or in the same octave with others. When I hear people harmonizing or singing the different parts for the alto, soprano, tenor, or bass I am utterly befuddled and confused. It is not that I don't benefit from their effort; I just can't join with them. I am also rhythm deficient. I can't clap synchronously with the audience in worship or play a tambourine or percussion instrument with others. I'm so off-rhythm that I will share this "true" event from my congregational worship. I was at the back and picked up a tambourine to join the worship. I am not kidding about this… I am the only person who had the tambourine taken away from him and told to take a seat. And when it comes to dance, forget it! It is not "two left feet;" I get dizzy and feel like falling. And yet my daughter is as graceful as a gazelle and leads Davidic dance in the service! So here I am—I can't sing, I can't play, and I definitely can't dance. This is why I teach about these things. They do, however, allow me to blow the shofar at the start of our services.
For those of you who have the talent to sing, play, and dance, please do so and help us all to worship the Lord in a joyful manner!

They replaced Continental Extreme DW that were not a bad tire, but without a doubt, these are the best tires I have ever owned.
With one exception, I cannot say enough positive about these. That one exception is treadlife.
Tires are rotated and balanced every 5000 mikes and treadwear is even across the surface of the tire and among the tires. There is no excessive or odd wear patterns and the shoulders are holding up well; however, the tires are done. The tires were at the indicator bar with approximately 17500 miles on them.
I don't consider the tires to have been abused: No SOLO events, and only one trip to the Tail of the Dragon.
Even with the prorated mileage warranty, owning these tires is an expensive proposition.
Guess you really do have to pay to play.

The PlayStation 4 has achieved a notable number 1: It was in January the top-selling hardware unit in the United States.
Of course Sony had to make mention of the competition which is Microsoft's Xbox One, as the gaming battle is always fierce. Sony says that they doubled the sales, nearly, of the "nearest next-gen competitor" (as if we didn't know who that was).

I stumbled upon The Blue Heron on Home Away. I emailed the owner who not only emailed me back but took the time to call me to ease my fears. I opted for cleaning service and linen package. We arrived to find clean linens on all beds, towels were located at the entrance (as promised), it was cool, clean, inviting, comfortable, and decorated tastefully. The beds were comparable to Hilton's. LOVED the pool area! We enjoyed the decks which gave a direct view of the club house. It was quiet and great for families. Everyone at the rental office provided great customer service. The only caution I would lend is steps, lots of steps which is only a problem is you have any physical challenges.

This is a new series of pottery items that are inspired by the ocean and the beach. Much of this series includes lines that are a reminder of the shoreline - when the waves lap up on the beach. Others include etchings of sea kelp - with their beautiful flowing lines. If you're a fan of the ocean and the beach, you'll find something in this series to love!
I've created a series of pottery items designed with ocean themes. Much of my work incorporates the black and white sgraffito images of sea kelp as well as colorful patterns inspired by the lines washed up on the beach.
Shoreline stoneware mugs - buy one or buy as a set. These mugs will make you think of the waves on the shore.
A popular item - store your earrings from the rim of this bowl, and put your other precious items inside!
This series of trays are made of stoneware clay and carved or scratched with various designs, mostly birds.
This Goldfinch sushi tray is the first in a series of bird trays made with the sgraffito technique. Originally intended for sushi, these trays are food safe and terrific for any of your serving needs.
These stoneware pottery items are handmade by Sara Goldhawk and the surface decoration is designed by Kelly Barone of Whimsy By Kelly. Her design process is called zentangle and this series includes both figurative and abstract pieces.
You may want this beautiful platter as a decoration only but its fully functional for your serving needs. It was hand built from stoneware clay and includes an oval foot at the bottom. After it was bisque fired it was given a zendala design (a form of zentangle) using glaze pens, and then it was dipped in turquoise glaze. This is a new series of pieces that I'm working on in collaboration with Whimsy By Kelly who is a certified Zentangle teacher and artist. Her shop is https://www.etsy.com/shop/WhimsyByKellyIts dimensions are: 6 ¾ inches/ 17.1 cm width10 ½ inches/ 26.7 cm length½ inch/ 1.2 cm height20 ounces (1 pound 4 ounces)/ 567 grams weight
You can shop for this platter https://www.etsy.com/listing/242149426/serving-platter-in-turquoise-blue
This exotic peacock design on a unique half-moon shaped plate can be used every day or just on special occasions. The plate is hand constructed from a slab of stoneware clay with the edges turned up slightly, and after it was bisque fired, the peacock was drawn using glaze pens in blue, black and white. The design is zentangle inspired so it has a unique abstract look. The plate was then dipped into a pale turquoise glaze which drips a some areas. This is part of a new series I am working on with Whimsy By Kelly with zentangle designs. Her shop is here:https://www.etsy.com/shop/WhimsyByKelly
The items in this series are made of stoneware clay, glazed white and then fired. After firing they have been decorated with various alcohol inks and then later sprayed with a clear glaze. These items are not food safe and should only be washed by hand.
I love cats and enjoy making numerous pieces inspired by my two cats, Jesse and Jet.
Here is a series of yarn bowls that I make for those that knit and crochet.
I teach a wide array of classes for both children and adults. Most recently I have started teaching how to use alcohol ink on pottery.
I will be teaching a class "Paint Ceramic Tile with Alcohol Ink" on November 18, 2015 through the Williamsville Community Education Program. The 90-minute class will allow students to learn the basics of alcohol ink on ceramic tile. For more information, visit the class registration details here
