On Sound Quality:
"Music has been my passion literally since before I could talk, or at least so that has been reported to me by my parents!! Because of that, the love of great sound has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember, so it is obvious to anyone who knows me why I was drawn to the audio industry. I've managed audio companies from both the retail and manufacturing side, so you could make the case that my whole life prepared me for my role at SVS, since we get to make awesome audio products that connect people to the music and movies they (and I) love, plus I get to talk directly to the folks who enjoy our products. How cool is that?"
Dan Marks, Vice President, Operations
Dan started at SVS in 2002 building subwoofers in the garage that the company then occupied. No one on the planet knows more about what it takes to build and bring to market a high performance subwoofer. Dan manages operations in our Youngstown, Ohio headquarters and supervises quality control that occurs almost to the molecular level. He also makes sure SVS keeps all of its promises to you by managing all aspects of logistics, web site management, international sales, senior level management and more. During his time at SVS, Dan shown a remarkable ability to adapt and overcome any challenges presented to him. He is the perpetual MVP.
Dan lives in Ohio with his loyal German Shepard, Cabo. When he's not getting huge at the gym, he can be found sipping a craft beer and watching the Buckeyes or cooking up a meal for a crowd to enjoy. A good word to describe his sense of humor would be "edgy". He also likes baking.
On Sound Quality:
"I'm huge on premium TV, movies and music and the feeling of expectation that comes before you put something new on. When you have an awesome audio system, it just elevates the experience so much more than just having a big screen. I love seeing the WOW factor on friend's faces, especially when I play something they've heard for years and some new instrumental or effect sticks out because they've never actually listened to great speakers. We also entertain a lot so it's cool to have a system that gets people's attention."
Listening at Home:

Ed Mullen, Director of Technology & Customer Relations
An SVS veteran who has helped more SVS customers than all others combined, Ed's wide-ranging experience at SVS includes sales, tech support, product development, R&D, administrative/executive management and more. Ed's primary responsibility is managing the SVS Sound Experts Customer Care team and leading direct sales. Ed is also responsible for much of the website technical content, and remains the long-standing and respected 'face of SVS' in the blogs and AV forums. A licensed professional engineer and an expert in subwoofer theory and design, Ed also serves as an important technical resource for our product development staff.

He is also a state certified hunter safety instructor and an accomplished woodsman. His tastes range from Gotham and 12 Monkeys to Sleepy Hollow and Blind Spot. Ed has one son, a yellow lab and a Jack Russell mix at home, and is a widower.
On Sound Quality:
"A great sounding audio system lets me become fully immersed in the music or movie. When I am transported by the artist or director and forget I'm listening to an audio system – that experience is true audio nirvana."
Listening at Home:
In my Living/Family Room, I have an SVS Prime 5.1 with two Towers, a center and two Satellites for the rears, with a PC-2000 handling the low end.
In the dedicated home theater, I have an SVS M-series (discontinued) 7.1 system, along with complete room treatments (bass traps, panels, diffusers) and dual PB12-Ultra/2 subwoofers.
Mitch Witten, Senior Director, Strategic Development
A seasoned audio veteran with over 30 years invested in the world of great sound, Mitch Witten is a product visionary for SVS who helps the company push the envelope of audio innovation and product excellence to new levels. He has extensive knowledge gained from working with some of the largest and most influential audio brands in the world and understands the challenging intricacies of creating amazing sounding products.
An avid music and film lover and constant tinkerer, Mitch was always taking things apart growing up and put together his first complete audio system at the age of twelve. He's been smitten with the audio and sound quality ever since. This passion for immersive technology is an instrumental force for SVS as the company expands its audio offerings into new realms.
Mitch currently resides in Southern California with his wife Barbara, their two boxers Cleo and Jamba, and their cat Santana. He plays guitar and a several other instruments and is a live music junkie who grew up in the golden era of rock but is no stranger to jazz clubs, symphony hall, the opera house, musical theater, and the ballet.
On Sound Quality:
"I grew up in a musical environment. Everyone in my family played some kind of instrument and listened to every kind of music imaginable. As much as I love playing music, what's always been fascinating to me is not so much whether its played "right", but rather how did it come across in an artistic and sensory way. As a guitar player, chasing tone is a visceral thing with me. When I went to my first real rock concert, feeling the power of the sound wash over me is what totally drew me in. My jaw literally dropped open in amazement when I felt the energy. Ever since that moment, music and film have been both addictive and healing in my life. They can transport you to a place a time, and I am fortunate that I get to help create products that can recreate those experiences at home."
Smith Freeman, Director of Product Management
Smith is responsible for the engineering and design of all SVS products. A long time audio enthusiast with advanced degrees in Physics and Acoustics, Smith is one of the younger audio design veteran's who is making a big impression in the speaker and subwoofer world. Smith's passion for high performance audio combined with his extensive acoustic and mechanical engineering experience are applied on a daily basis to ensure every SVS product meets the highest standards of design excellence.
Beyond audio, Smith has been an avid rock climber for nearly two decades. Climbing, like engineering, is a technical and involved activity full of calculated decisions to find the most efficient way to the top. Like those who take an interest in sound quality, climbers have a deep passion and love for the activity which completely engages and transports them to new locations with amazing experiences.
On Sound Quality:
"There is a magical moment that anyone can have when listening to their favorite songs or movies. It's the moment when you hear something you never noticed or experience sound in a whole new way. That is the heart and soul of high performance audio and high fidelity. To recapture all of the love for music and entertainment and engage the listener. There's no greater takeaway for me than knowing that great sounding loudspeakers and subwoofers are making their way into more homes and spicing up music and movie nights. I know for a fact that everyone out there can appreciate high quality audio, even if they don't think so. Part of what has drawn me to SVS and what brings me so much satisfaction is knowing that I am introducing more people to better entertainment experiences through exceptional sound quality."
Listening at Home:
There are a few systems throughout my home, many of which are always shifting with different loudspeakers and subwoofers being swapped in and out. Most of the time though, I am streaming my networked music through my office 2.1 which is currently SVS Ultra Bookshelf speakers paired with an SB13-Ultra Subwoofer.
Keenan Davis, Senior Director of Marketing
Keenan is responsible for guiding the strategic direction of all digital, print, broadcast and other marketing channels for SVS. He leads a creative and talented marketing team with knowledge and experience gained from nearly 20 years working for companies like The New York Times, and market leading video game headset manufacturer, Turtle Beach. Keenan's tactical and analytical skills help SVS maximize its partnerships and his diverse contact base and work experiences are continuously opening new doors as SVS grows into new channels.
Born and raised with a love for music in Brooklyn, NY, Keenan is now the proud father to a college aged daughter Kiana and newborn son Logan. In his spare time, he attempts to perfect his imperfect poker face and is well on his way to seeing enough of the world to fill his second passport with stamps!
On Sound Quality:
"I feel as though video and graphics have come to a point we're they're pretty much a dead ringer for reality. Sound and audio is the next bastion as we create environments in which the audience can truly lose themselves in their respective form of entertainment and become fully immersed in their movies, music, gaming, sports and/or binge-worthy TV. The highest level of sound quality is needed to achieve this state of true immersion."
Listening at Home:
"I have a Prime Tower Surround Package in the family room and an SVS Ultra Tower Surround Package in my basement (better known as Keenan's Man Cave and personal poker/football room.)
Nicholas Brown, Director of Brand Messaging
Nick is the resident wordsmith and creative spark behind nearly all of the social media posts, website copy, advertisements, blog entries and other pieces of SVS content. He is also the chief liaison who works with media to set up reviews, launch new products, contribute to articles, manage contests and help with whatever they need. He's also the driving force behind the SVS featured home theaters, so if you have a great system, you might just get a note from him.
In his spare time, Nick spends his time shuttling his 11 year-old son to karate and trumpet practice, cooking gourmet meals with his wife or walking the family puggle. Nick's passion for audio began with his grandfather who used to sip scotch and spin vinyl while they watched baseball games together. This experience gave Nick an early interest in sound quality and understanding the technology behind audio reproduction, which he combined with his love of writing to land a dream career.
On Sound Quality:
My family is big on action movies and dance music, so we're all about exciting dynamics and pulse racing sound that forces a reaction. We love putting on sweatpants and getting completely dialed into a movie and are also known to have impromptu Saturday morning dance parties leading up to our weekly Cleanfest round the house. The music has to be played loud in order to have the desired motivational effect, which is never a problem.
Listening at Home:
Currently we have two listening areas set-up, a pair of SVS Ultra Bookshelves upstairs for the main system and a Prime Satellite 2.1 with an SB-1000 in the downstairs gaming lair.
Ken Kadis, Director of U.S. Sales
Ken Kadis is the key point person between SVS and its growing number of U.S. retailers. He makes sure our partners selling through brick-and-mortar storefronts have all the product, technical and marketing support they need and he also does frequent trainings to share the SVS vision. Kadis has been in the AV industry for nearly three decades and has opened many doors for SVS during his time onboard.
Ken is also self-taught drummer, whose "teachers" have been the many drummers whose recordings he listened to through many great audio systems, and continue to enjoy today. When he's not on the road making the SVS community stronger, Ken, loves spending time with his family, working on his chef skills and of course banging on his drums.
On Sound Quality:
The subtle and detailed sounds of a drum kit are the most demanding to render and high performance audio gear is critical to conveying the nuances and keeping it all from blending together. Great sound has always enabled and strengthened the connection for me to both the music and the artist.
Listening at Home:
I've got SVS Prime Towers, Prime Center, Prime Satellites, SB2000; Denon AVR-X4100, and I've never been happier.
Eli Trinkle, Marketing Manager
Beginning in the dark depths of the SVS basement, Eli started out with the company as part of the small crew that hand assemble our infamous subwoofer drivers. With a rational approach to problem solving and a keen eye for detail, Eli branched to other assembly projects and key roles in assisting the work of our Engineering and R&D departments.
These days, Eli helps to maintain the harmony of the daily operations of SVS. From keeping up with order fulfillment and the personnel that fill those orders, to maintaining a lot of our digital presence, he has the honor of wearing many hats for SVS.
Monique Tomko, Director of Operations
As the office manager, Monique often serves as the cement holding a lot of other pieces in place and making sure nothing ever slips. Her work handling day to day operations at the SVS Ohio headquarters includes managing dealer relationships with U.S. and international partners, handling special shipping requests, updating the outlet page, inventory management and working with the warehouse to make sure everyone gets their products on time.
Outside of work, Monique spends a lot of her time seeking new adventures with her five year-old daughter Ava and watching movies together on lazy nights. Some of their favorites are Frozen, the Wizard of Oz and The Incredible Hulk. Monique is also a winning marathoner and the undisputed distance running champion at SVS.
On Sound Quality:
Music has always been an escape for me. When I have a bad day, I turn the music on and get lost in it. Sound quality has a major impact on the experience and enjoyment of music because you feel so much closer to a song when you can hear all the instruments, vocals and beats clearly. I also love my subwoofer now because it just adds a whole other level of sound to movies.
Listening at Home:
We currently have a Prime Satellite 2.1 System, which is the perfect system for my room. It's super compact but everyone is like, "THOSE tiny speakers are making THAT big of a sound!?" so I think it works.
Jason Penezich, Production Designer
As the lead graphic designer, Jason is responsible for the visualization of the SVS brand through any number of assets including the website, print ads, landing pages, display ads and more. He also has extensive coding knowledge and assists the marketing team with SVS site maintenance, navigation and other parts of the digital experience.
Jason's spare time is spent building a house nearly on his own from what was essentially a stud shell, something he's always wanted to do. He is also the owner of Rufio, a 140lb all white German shepherd who is often mistaken for a wolf right out of the wild. But the ladies love him. Jason is also into some of the finer things in life, including: tattoos, music, movies, motorcycles, whiskey, craft beer, and cooking.
On Sound Quality:
Music, movies, and premium TV have never been better. People are missing out on a lot of the experience if they're only listening through tiny dime-sized speakers. Everything clicked into place when I listened to my first demo of SVS shortly after college and then it was further validated when I saw all my friend's jaws drop after hearing how detailed the system can be or when we turn up the bass for a party.
Listening at Home:
Currently, I'm sporting a pair of SVS Ultra Towers and an SB13-Ultra Ultra in the main living room, and then I also have a set of prime satellites and a SB-1000 on my main PC.

Background Intraspinal dermoid cysts are rare and benign tumors that occur primarily due to the defective closure of the neural tube, an ectodermal derivative, during the process of development. They are slow-growing tumors manifesting in the second and third decades of life. Case presentation We present here a case of a 14-year-old Sindhi boy with a six-month history of paraparesis of the lower limbs and a progressive loss of power of grade 3/5, and hypoesthesia in the L4/L5 dermatomes of his right lower limb. A plain magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed a well-demarcated intraspinal intramedullary cyst containing an abscess at the level of T12 and L1 causing localized cord compression, which was producing the symptoms. Near total excision of the cyst was successfully performed and was sent for biopsy, which revealed keratinocytes and keratin flakes. With one month of follow-up, along with physiotherapeutic management, the patient gradually improved and was able to walk without support. Conclusions Critical evaluation of every case with aggravating symptoms should be carried out, and neurological and radiological examinations should be conducted to ensure the well-being of patients.

What goes through a lefty's mind when he's staring at a baserunner.
Colin Young was a left-handed pitcher who spent six seasons in the minors with the Rockies and the Red Sox, reaching Double-A with both organizations. He also, as of this season, covers the Texas League for Baseball Prospectus. Here's what he sees when he watches Jon Lester struggle with his pickoff throws.
Scrutiny is alive and well. In the days of death by analysis, we get obsessed with the subtle character flaws and moments of weakness in our superstars. We grasp at anything within our reach to knock them down a peg. So it is that we get the recent intrigue over Jon Lester's bungled pick-off throw. Cries of the "Yips" or "Mental Block" follow, and suddenly we imagine that Lester has the mental strength of a tired 6-year-old at the end of a 10-hour excursion through Disneyland. But Lester, historically, has been as mentally tough as it comes. The dude has straight ice water in his veins. If you're looking for someone to pitch Game 7 of the World Series, to make a 3-2 pitch with bases loaded and the game on the line, and yes, even attempt a crucial pick-off throw, I'll take Jon Lester 10 out of 10 times.
But, numbers don't lie, and the numbers here—the year-plus without an attempt, the 50 percent error rate on two tries this year—are astounding to say the least. Visually, we can see discomfort when he throws over to first, and quantifiably, the attempts are basically nil. These two components reasonably lead me to believe that there is something going on mentally with him.
We've seen plenty of guys unable to field their position as a pitcher, making errant throws to a base, overthrowing/underthrowing pickoffs, or tossing lollipops to the catcher on pitch outs or wild pitches on intentional balls. Lester's has been magnified into a "What's wrong with him" conversation, but his quote in the Chicago Tribune following his throwing error last week sheds some light on the situation: "When you're not used to doing stuff like that, I got a little overexcited and threw the ball too soon." Pickoffs are worked on during spring training and maybe a couple times a month in season, and pitchers may only get a few reps a few times a week practicing this move. I have yet to see a pitcher dedicate any great amount of time to perfecting his pickoff move following morning workouts or an intense bullpen session. In baseball talk, quality reps are what make you better; however, pickoff moves are not high on the to-do list. So one explanation is that Lester has simply fallen out of practice, it affected his ability to perform a deceptively complex move, and the lack of rehearsals snowballed. Another is that he's just saying the right things to cover up a more severe underlying issue.
Pitchers talk about focus, conviction, and execution when it comes to pitch selection and attacking a hitter. It requires a laser-like mindset dedicated to executing the pitch; Kevin Costner's character in For the Love of the Game captures it when he tells himself to "clear the mechanism." When runners are on base, a pitcher's focus becomes divided and his attention is split between the runner and the hitter, detracting from his focus on attacking the hitter. Now we have two variables at play: slowing the running game and getting the hitter out.

What makes a mouth more kissable?Posted on: 01 July 2009 by Gareth Hargreaves
Ingrid Bergman once said: "A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."
So what makes a mouth more kissable? Body language and aesthetic experts agree that one of the most important assets people have to make themselves more attractive is their smile.
Kissing is not purely about attraction - it is an important social interaction. From hugging and kissing a grandchild to greeting a close friend, it is something we all do regularly. In close contact, it is important that our mouths don't let us down.
So how can you make your mouth fresh and kissable?
1) Check for bad breath
If asking a friend is a out of the question, simply lick the inside of your wrist, wait a few seconds for it to dry and then sniff. A sour or sickly sweet odour means your breath needs attention
2) Look after your lips
If you have a tendency towards dry, cracked lips use a good lip salve regularly. Lips can burn too, so outdoors use a lip salve with a high sun screen factor
3) Clean your tongue
Bacteria responsible for bad breath can hide in the rough surface of your tongue, where they breed and release volatile sulphur compounds. So clean your tongue thoroughly with a brush or tongue scraper
4) Food to avoid
Highly spiced foods can remain on the breath for a long time. So avoid foods like raw onion, curries, cabbage, eggs, garlic and red meat well before that first date. Eating parsley or fennel may help to counter the odour of garlic or onion
5) Clean your teeth thoroughly
Brush thoroughly with a fluoride toothpaste for at least two minutes twice a day. Clean in between your teeth with floss or special mini brushes – again bacteria causing gum disease and bad breath can accumulate in these hard to reach areas
6) Smoker's breath...
"Ashtray breath" will disappear when you choose not to smoke! It will also reduce the chance of getting gum disease and mouth cancer.
7) Drink lots of water
Drinking lots of water regularly will ensure your mouth well hydrated by and help keep your breath fresh
8) Mouth washes & mints
Good antibacterial mouthwashes can help to keep breath fresh. And the occasional sugar-free mint can give you extra fresh breath confidence
9) Alcohol & coffee
Alcohol candehydrate your mouth and coffee can make bad breath worse. So, everything in moderation, with lots of water.
10) Finally, use a mirror
A quick check for strawberry pips etc lurking between your teeth isn't spoiling your smile!

The Stadler Form Charly Stand Fan not only looks impressive but also works hard to cool, ventilate and circulate the air in homes, bedrooms, patios, garages, offices and light commercial settings. Built with longevity in mind, the Charly is solidly constructed of stainless steel and features 3 aluminum blades for circulating up to 81,000 cubic feet of air per hour. The Charly will remain firmly in place and won't tip over due to its heavy die-cast base made of solid zinc. A reliable and sturdy fan, such as the Charly, works well in conjunction with air purifiers and dehumidifiers to help increase air circulation and the machine's effectiveness.

I have a scenario where an C# appliction needs to generate word documents based on templates.
The requirments are.
Users have the ability to create / edit a .dot word template file (Through microsoft word) which includes fields.

I truly do love that body shape. Because it turns me on much more than any other body shape I've seen before. I'm not much into boobs as much as I am into women's asses. My explanation for this is that the ass has everything most guys always crave for & it has the best attractions that automatically gains our attention. I'm an assman & a woman's booty that's perfectly good looking & so big will always win me over within moments.11|00|0
Thank You so very much for the MHO. I'm glad that I helped you out with this question.
Thank you it was helpful :)

Biographical information
Aditi was the 14 year old daughter of Aang and Katara. She lived at the Northern Air Temple. When Kumaro came to the Northern Air Temple, she quickly became good friends with him. She saved Kumaro's life when he accidentally destroyed his glider and almost got himself killed.
She then started to travel the world with Kumaro to investigate the Phoenix Estates. She made it her duty to alert the world of the Phoenix Estates plans for war. She Traveled to the Western Air Temple along with Kumaro, where they discovered that the Air Nomads were secretly alive. Later, she fought along with Kumaro against Bharato, and helped destroy a Phoenix Estates airship.
She then traveled with Kumaro to Ba Sing Se, where she met Kumaro's great uncle, Iroh, and his employee, Wei. When there, she and Kumaro told the Earth King about the Phoenix Estates. She then fought with Kumaro and the rest of the Earth Kingdom to retake the Northern Mountains in the Battle for the Northern Mountains. Later, she fought in the Battle for the Seedy Pier by fighting in the street and pushing to the shore. Later she and Kumaro comforted Bharato, and she was shot with lightning. Luckily, her staff absorbed most of the attack.
Later, after healing, she traveled to the North Pole with Kumaro, Wei, Hari, and Haruka. After a battle resulted in Kumaro's capture, she attempted to rescue him with her friends. Later, she stayed at the Northern Water Tribe for some time to rebuild after it took damage in the Battle over the North. She briefly argued with Kumaro about whether to stay to rebuild, or to go to the Fire Nation. She eventually agreed to what Kumaro had to say, and then went to get Wei, Hari and Haruka, while Kumaro continued to pack. She first found Wei, and a while later, Hari and Haruka. Later, she found out that Lo Gan and Rin were coming with them to aid in the war effort.
When the group rested at the Northern Air Temple, she discovered her mother was pregnant. Later, she told her father about her near death experience, and how it had changed her. The group then went to Ember Island, where they met up with the fleeing forces of the Fire Nation. Later, after taking part in a mission to rescue a Fire Nation governess, she had to travel east to avoid the Phoenix Estates like the rest of her allies. While on an island further east, she trained several glider pilots along with Kumaro. Later, she saved Kumaro from Bharato in the Battle for the Fire Nation, by preventing Bharato from hitting his glider. Later, she helped the Fire Nation retake Ember Island. Afterwards, she fought in the landing in the South, and took part in the charge on the beaches. She also went to Obas to assist in the fighting there. She later went into a Fire Nation town the Phoenix Estates had conquered, and when Kumaro was captured, she broke him out. She also fought in an attack on a Phoenix Estates fort, and later lead several gliders to the aid of her friends when they were attacked by the Rough Rhinos.
She was also in the group of people who scouted ahead into the Fire Nation jungle. There, she and he companions encountered a tribe that had been living in fear of a giant snake. She was also one of the benders who had chased Bharato out of Nov Sol. After the Battle for Aggni, she travelled to Ba Sing Se. On the way, she returned to the Western Air Temple, where she and Kumaro saw their friend Kato again. Once inBa Sing Se, she fought alongside Kumaro against Mainyu, and because of her, Mainyu was defeated, but not killed.
Aditi is much more aggressive, and willing to fight then most Airbenders, a trait her father doesn't like. However, that changed when Bharato shot her with lightning, and she realized the pain she put others through when she harmed them.

It looks like the first online orders for the iPad 2 are slowly starting to arrive to the front steps of their happy owners. This is the reward for everyone who was persistent enough to place an order within the first minutes after Apple made the tablet available for purchase through its online store. Since Monday, an increasing number of customers have been reporting that they have received their new and shiny iPad 2 while many others are expecting to get theirs by the end of the week.
After being rushed by an avalanche of online orders, Apple was forced to extend delivery times again and again so that it could keep up with the overwhelmingly high demand for the iPad 2. About a month is what you will have to wait if you decide to buy one online today, but we doubt that many of you will have the nerves to hold on for that long. Perhaps, queuing up and waiting in line for a couple of hours doesn't seem that bad of an option after all.

Moqui Balls The shaman stone
Moqui Marbles/Balls pronounced (Mo-Key) are essentially Ironstone and are found at the base of Navajo Sandstone formations. They are found in sizes from small marbles to baseball sizes. Moqui Marbles have been used for centuries by the shamanic tribes of the continents. Although newly discovered in the United States, Moqui's have been found on several continents in the ancient archaeological excavations.
Navajo Sandstone is a geologic formation in the Glen Canyon Group that is spread across the U.S. states of southern Nevada, northern Arizona, northwest Colorado, and Utah; as part of the Colorado Plateau province of the United States.
The Navajo Sandstone formation is particularly prominent in southern Utah, where it forms the main attractions of a number of national parks and monuments including Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Zion National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Canyonlands National Park.
Navajo Sandstone frequently occurs as spectacular cliffs, cuestas, domes, and bluffs rising from the desert floor. It can be distinguished from adjacent Jurassic sandstones by its white to light pink color, meter-scale cross-bedding, and distinctive rounded weathering.
The wide range of colors exhibited by the Navajo Sandstone reflect a long history of alteration by groundwater and other subsurface fluids over the last 190 million years. The different colors, except for white, are caused by the presence of varying mixtures and amounts of hematite, goethite, and limonite filling the pore space within the quartz sand comprising the Navajo Sandstone. The iron in these strata originally arrived via the erosion of iron-bearing silicate minerals.
Initially, this iron accumulated as iron-oxide coatings, which formed slowly after the sand had been deposited. Later, after having been deeply buried, reducing fluids composed of water and hydrocarbons flowed through the thick red sand which once comprised the Navajo Sandstone. The dissolution of the iron coatings by the reducing fluids bleached large volumes of the Navajo Sandstone a brilliant white. Reducing fluids transported the iron in solution until they mixed with oxidizing groundwater. Where the oxidizing and reducing fluids mixed, the iron precipitated within the Navajo Sandstone.
Depending on local variations within the permeability, porosity, fracturing, and other inherent rock properties of the sandstone, varying mixtures of hematite, goethite, and limonite precipitated within spaces between quartz grains. Variations in the type and proportions of precipitated iron oxides resulted in the different black, brown, crimson, vermillion, orange, salmon, peach, pink, gold, and yellow colors of the Navajo Sandstone.
The precipitation of iron oxides also formed laminea, corrugated layers, columns, and pipes of ironstone within the Navajo Sandstone. Being harder and more resistant to erosion than the surrounding sandstone, the ironstone weathered out as ledges, walls, fins, "flags", towers, and other minor features, which stick out and above the local landscape in unusual shapes
Navajo Sandstone frequently occurs above the Kayenta Formation and Wingate Sandstone, the other formations of the Glen Canyon Group.
Together, these three formations can result in immense vertical cliffs of up to 2,200 feet (670 m). Atop the cliffs, Navajo Sandstone often appears as massive rounded domes and bluffs that are generally white in color.
Moqui Balls are a different sort of stone. They are ironstone concretions formed from the splatter of a meteor thousands of years ago. The center of the stone is sand and the outer crust is ironstone or magnetite. They are slightly magnetic. The size can range from that of a pea to a baseball. The ones I have in stock are golf ball size or larger. They are also known as Shaman's Stones or Thunder Balls. They are used for healing and balancing. Shaman's Stones have been used in native cultures for thousands of years. The Shaman would either apply the stone directly to the diseased area to remove blockages, or place two of them, one in each hand, for overall balancing and calming by aligning the energy centers.
These stones display definite male and female vibrations. Many people determine if the Moqui Ball is male or female by the outward appearance. If the skin is smooth it is female and rough is male. Others say the female stone is round and the male is disk shaped. There is merit to either observation. When used for balancing, the female stone is placed in the left hand and the male stone in the right. My experience has shown a more definitive way of determining the energy. Place one stone between the palms of both hands. Within seconds you will feel a vibration. If it excites the upper half of your body, it is a female stone. If it excites the lower half of your body, it is male. Keep sampling stones until you find one of each for your use.
When a Moqui Ball is placed in a hot fire it will become a Thunder Ball. The moisture in the sand at the center of the stone expands and the ball explodes. The power of the explosion as well as the pattern of the debris will tell an experienced Shaman the intensity of the situation at hand as well as the path for resolution.
The Moqui Ball is a miniature Mother Earth. It is very grounding, relieving you of stressful energy and negativity by absorbing it. It can assist in raising your personal energy by stimulating the Chi. The Moqui Ball provides protection for the body and mind by shielding you from negativity. When placed on the third eye, it enhances your psychic power. The Moqui Ball is nurturing. It has the feel of an old friend, warm and reassuring.

Moqui Marbles Healing Stones
Moqui marbles - living stones, mumbling sounds.. protection against evil eye, keeps "false Friends" a far protection against fire/floods and lightning fertility in family, happiness and life energy improves enjoyment of life, coziness, company, easy to fall asleep - deep sleep - no dreams, relaxing stone, not feeling "bound to do something", regenerating, immune system fortifying physical and spiritual unity for body, mind and soul resolves blockades, provides light and joy of life, through the energy field around the marbles it provides a feeling of belonging to people, plants and animals.
They are also referred to as "Moqui Balls", "Thunderballs" or "Shaman Stones". They have been used for centuries by Shamans and other mystics - considered sacred among the Shamanic members of ancient tribes, they were used in rituals to contact extra-terrestrials, for visioning and for out-of-body journeys.
They don't need special care, they realign the energy centers, relieve energy blockage, stimulate Chi energy, ground, center and protect, they are equally balanced between grounding and energizing, and act as a connector to the Earth's energies. Moqui Marbles readily accept subtle energy charges and hold them indefinitely. Treat them with love and they will return it when you need it most.
They are recommended to the user of both the ancient ways and the future ways. Mochi Marbles can be used to align the energy centers, to relieve energy blockages, to stimulate CHI, to ground and center, and to provide protection. Grinding with two Mochi Marbles promotes receptivity to frequencies, which are usually inaudible. The journey with the Mochi Marbles allow one to live to the fullest, while understanding the sanctity of, and performing healing for the earth. Mochi Balls need no special care, they are lovely to hold and act to protect when placed in one's environments, the energy being like a good friend. Manifested by nature, enjoyed by mankind, the Mochi Marbles brings the synthesis of the male/female duality, and the actualization of singularity, allowing one to recognize the self, and the independence and liberty of ones nature. They are said to have been used for contact with ET's, for visioning, and for journeying, they were sacred among the shamanic members of the ancient tribes. Mochi Marbles vibrate to the number 4. The number four is about building structure and order. It is a hard working number with much strength and endurance.
Shaman Stones are high energy stones and are powerful allies to have for personal path workings and for healing. In personal matters the stones can connect the shaman with earth energies. They are powerful in grounding and energies. The stones can be used for contacting and interacting with our animal spirit guides.
Moqui Marbles
There are many legends surrounding these strange stones; shamans use them to heal and communicate with other realms and Hopi Indians play marbles with their ancestors to gain knowledge.
Moqui Marbles or Mochi Stones are mysterious sandstone balls covered in hematite (iron ore) and were discovered in the Navajo Sandstone Formation in Utah.
These stones are found in pairs: one more rounded formation which is considered the female and has a - charge and the disk-like formation which has a + charge. They have an uncanny ability to realign the energy body and energy centers immediately, without a lot of mumbojumbo.
When we work with computers all day, or have night shifts or generally get into a negative spiral, our energy polarity (male/female or +/- charge) can get off balance. These stones reboot the +/- energy flow and stabilize the energy field.

In the heart of Virginia's vast and wondrous Tidewater region, lies Gloucester County, Virginia—which has been at the heart of American history from the very outset, in ways that might surprise you. Indeed, Gloucester has seen the influence, clash and co-existence of diverse native and international populations during decisive moments in American, Colonial and World History. Truly, legend, lore and intrigue all come together in Gloucester. From ages past to the present day she has been a place of firsts and lasts. She is an ever-evolving but ever enchanting part of the vast Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia.
The lands, rivers and waterways known to encompass, flow through and border modern-day Gloucester were inhabited by Native American hunter/gatherers for thousands of years before the first Spanish missionaries or English settlers arrived here. They were the very first to know how lovely, rich and fertile this area was. In our lifetime, no eye has seen what lush beauty and natural abundance must have existed for these early inhabitants and settlers.
It is through Gloucester that the remainder of the Middle Peninsula, Northern Neck and points beyond were settled. It was truly a gateway for those Native American and English "first families" whose names we still recognize to this very day and whose sons and daughters have gone on to directly and indirectly change and enrich the lives of future generations of Americans.
History comes to life when we examine it through the eyes of those who lived it, witnessed it and recorded it, so many years ago. To write merely an article on Gloucester County history is a difficult task indeed, as there is so much to tell. VOLUMES simply cannot contain it all, but I will try my best to hit the high points and leave the rest for another day. The intrigue and human drama attached to Gloucester's history is remarkably full of twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
On Your Mark, Get Set, Sail
The race was on as the late sixteenth century saw increased nautical exploration and territorial expansion around the world by the major seafaring super-powers of the day. With that said— Gloucester saw some of these visionaries, explorers and privateers in an up-close and personal way.
The first "known" Europeans, to explore the waters of the Chesapeake Bay were the Spanish who accidentally encountered it while searching for an inland passage to Asia. Later, in 1524, Giovanni de Verrazano, an Italian in the employ of France, named the Chesapeake Bay the "Bahia de Santa Maria." In 1562, Spanish cartographer Diego Gutierrez drew the first known map of the Chesapeake Bay. John White, an Englishman and governor of the vanished Roanoke Colony had also drawn maps of the Chesapeake Bay including details of the James and York Rivers. He also created watercolor renderings of native life, plants, animals and more that aided future expeditions— all before the dawn of the seventeenth century. These amazing resources and first-hand accounts must have been seen and utilized by Christopher Newport and Captain John Smith, who would later make their own mark on the New World and on Gloucester. John Smith's map of the Chesapeake Bay would include the area now known as Gloucester and was by far the most accurate and detailed of all the Chesapeake Bay maps of the day.
With the Spanish steadily colonizing vast areas of the Caribbean, Mexico and portions of Florida, it was only a matter of time before they would make their mark in Virginia, unless someone beat them to it!
Spanish Jesuits Come to Gloucester
Around 1560 a young American Indian, said to be the son of a Native American Chief, was abducted out of coastal waters by the Spanish. Without a choice in the matter, he traveled to St. Augustine, Havana, and Mexico where he was educated and baptized Don Louis de Valasco. He was later sent to Madrid, Spain where he received additional education and had an audience with King Phillip II. It is said that he spoke continually of his homeland, near the present day York River. Although they had removed the boy from his native country, they could not remove "the country" from the boy.
The day eventually came when the young man's captors sought to capitalize on his knowledge of his fellow natives, their language and the land from whence he had been taken—over ten years earlier. In 1570, a band of nine Jesuits led by Father Juan Baptista de Segura, Don Louis and one little Cuban boy named Alonso set sail to evangelize and convert the natives in the York river area of Virginia, using Don Louis as their interpreter/guide. It is doubtful that many of us can even imagine the anxiety, conflicting emotions and elation that Don Louis must have felt, knowing that he was finally going home.
Shortly after arriving at what the missionaries hoped would become the Ajacán (Axacán) Mission, near present day Queens Creek, Don Louis defected and returned to his native people. Realizing that Don Louis had returned to his people, the Jesuits did the best they could to survive while they waited for a supply ship to return. In a tragic twist, Don Louis returned to the mission with members of his tribe, brutally killing the nine Jesuit missionaries. What led up to this is unknown. Perhaps it was retribution for the abduction, perhaps Don Louis realized what would become of his people if the mission succeeded on a large scale. We will never know the dynamics in play that led up to the massacre.
Only Alonso was spared, perhaps out of pity, as Don Louis could certainly identify with him. After the massacre, Alonso was helped by a rival Chief until 1572, when the boy was rescued by the Governor of Florida, who had come to find out what had happened to the Spanish mission. The Governor, having heard from Alonso what transpired, searched for Don Louis, who proved to be elusive. Eight Indians were captured and identified as having participated in the brutal massacre as they were wearing some of the crucifixes and had other items that had belonged to the monks. The judgment against them was swift and sure. As a result of these events the Spanish left the area to concentrate on mission work in Mexico.
Had the Jesuit mission been successful and England not beat the Spanish in colonizing the coastal region of Virginia, we might all be speaking Spanish right now. It is utterly amazing how one event, one day and one decision can affect the lives of people for centuries to come, without even knowing it at the time.
The English Make Their Move
It was no accident that the English headed for and landed in the Chesapeake Bay, not far from Gloucester County. Although originally financed by investors and set up as a for-profit venture, the riches sought and found in the New World were not spices, silver or gold, but the land itself—tobacco, and the glistening waters, teeming with life—that greeted them upon their arrival in May of 1607. Imagine a band of ill-prepared men with grandiose visions and nothing to lose stepping foot onto Virginia shores for the first time. What they found must have astounded them.
How Gloucester Was Named
Gloucester was known by the English as James Cittie by 1619. In 1634, the name was changed to Charles River Shire by King Charles I. The Native Americans referred to the area as Pamunkie, which means "rising upland."
As early as 1639 land grants were bestowed by Charles I to those adventurers of purse and person who garnered his favor and understood that the means to wealth was land ownership in the New World. Even though the land in Gloucester was not actually declared completely safe for settling until 1649, many took the risk and obtained vast land holdings in what would become Gloucester County.
In 1642, during the civil wars in England, the name of the county and river was changed to York, before CharlesI literally lost his head. The county was officially created in 1651 and named for Henry, Duke of Gloucester, who was the third son of Charles I. Early land grants were awarded to ancient planters whose family names would be recognizable to us today. The Great-Great Grandfather of George Washington, Augustine Warner I, was one of these men. Many of the families to originally settle the area still have a presence here through place names and historic homes that continue to grace the lands and waterways of modern day Gloucester.
Native magnolias, dogwood and a host of exquisite flowering trees also grow throughout the woodlands in Gloucester. Another unique characteristic of Gloucester are the vast rivers of daffodils that have naturalized throughout the rural lands of this truly beautiful county. The daffodils of Gloucester still bear glorious witness to the nameless, faceless settlers and indentured servants who brought these gilded treasurers all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to bloom in a brave new world!
Notable Places in Gloucester
Werowocomoco— Powhatan's village, on the banks of Purton (Poetan) Bay— is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Archaeological excavations at the site have verified the existence of an extensive Native American settlement, encompassing fifty acres, from 1200 AD to the early seventeenth century. The site also coincides with the accounts of Captain John Smith and early maps which spelled the name of the bay as "Poetan" and described the site to a tee. The presence of English items from the Jamestown settlement also helped to verify the site as being the seat of Powhatan, who was fascinated by
English objects.
Powhatan's Chimney
Gloucester lore had long held that "Powhatan's Chimney" was the site of Werowocomoco, although archaeological evidence has now proven otherwise. History records that John Smith ordered Dutch workers to build a house and chimney for Powhatan as part of an agreement between the two men, designed to quell tensions between them. As a result of information obtained from the Dutch, as well as Smith's failure to provide the firearms Powhatan requested as part of a good faith exchange for corn (during a time of drought and famine) the trust between the men eroded. With the colonists requiring more corn and food resources and Powhatan growing weary of the "gimmy" mentality of the colonists, he quietly moved his headquarters to a more secluded location on the Chickahominy River, perhaps after the chimney had been built. He may have been influenced to make this move by his half-brother, Openchancanough, who wanted to see more distance between them and the English.
The collapse of the great chimney in 1888 facilitated the creation of the APVA (Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities), who later rebuilt the chimney. Whatever the case may actually be and whoever the builders were— the chimney stands today as a monument to two great men, two great cultures and the clash of those cultures that later ensued.
Abingdon and Ware Churches
Two of the eight remaining colonial churches in Virginia can be found in Gloucester. Abingdon and Ware churches have truly stood the test of time. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are known to have frequented the Church at Abingdon, which was built around 1755. It is the second church on the site. The interior was restored to its original colonial appearance in the 1980s. Ware Church was built sometime in the second quarter of the 18th century and served many of Gloucester County's most notable citizens of the day. The exterior brick is laid in Flemish bond with clear blue glazed headers and gauged brick arches. Original woodwork remains on the interior as well. A breathtaking display of daffodils blooms on the grounds draws admirers every year, from far and wide.
Tyndall's Point and the Gloucester Point Archaeological District
Tyndall's Point was named for John Tyndall who surveyed the Chesapeake Bay with Captain John Smith and Christopher Newport. There were three know forts to have been built here throughout the years. In 1667, fortifications and a stockade were built to protect the area from attack by Dutch forces which were at war with England. It was officially named Fort James in 1671.
In 1781 fortifications were built by Cornwallis as a fall-back point for the British if they needed them during the siege of Yorktown. The Virginia Militia and French forces of the Duke de Lauzon led the attack against Tarleton on the Gloucester side. This forced a British retreat toward Gloucester Point. A sudden storm and a French blockade of the river prevented Cornwallis and Tarleton from ever meeting up and joining forces.
The fortifications built here can still be seen today. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science now occupies a large portion of the original site. The location was north of the Point— at a place known as "The Hook."
As an interesting footnote, the Duke de Lauzon personally financed and organized his own para-military/foreign legion which consisted of two companies of infantry, one artillery company and two squadrons of cavalry. With an obvious penchant for a good fight and the desire to help America win its independence from Great Britain, he teamed up with French and American forces in the Battle of the Hook. He based his forces in Gloucester County, preventing a retreat of British forces from across the river at Yorktown. His men also had the honor of standing guard as the surrendering British forces gave up their arms. And now you know the rest of the story!
Gloucester Courthouse Historic District
One of the most charming and sophisticated colonial courthouses ever built in Virginia lies at the center of Gloucester's Courthouse Circle and is a classic example of the exquisite craftsmanship, aesthetic design and brickwork utilized in 1766. Also on the court green are a host of daffodils and an oak tree planted in 1957 by the Garden Club of Gloucester, in honor of world-renowned botanist John Clayton, who facilitated the discovery and documentation of countless plant species in the New World. He also served as the Clerk of Gloucester County for 51 years, from 1722-1773.
Walter Reed's Birthplace
Walter Reed was born in 1851, near Belroi, in a lovely white frame cottage typical of smaller houses found throughout the Tidewater Region of Virginia. He made the discovery that yellow fever was transmitted by mosquitoes, which led to the demise of yellow fever as a lethal killer. His birthplace was acquired by the APVA in 1968. Local hospitals and other facilities are named in his honor and carry on his legacy of eradicating communicable diseases around the world.
Warner Hall
Warner Hall, located on the Severn River was established in 1642 by land grant and was the home for generations of the Warner and Lewis families. It was the home of George Washington's great grandfather and of his grandmother, Mildred Warner Washington. The current mansion seen today was built in 1905, replacing an earlier house destroyed by fire in 1845. Colonial stables of brick construction still survive as well as a walled Warner/Lewis family cemetery, which is owned and maintained by the APVA. George Washington and Queen Elizabeth II of England share common ancestors who lived, died and are buried at Warner Hall. Isn't it ironic that the First American President and the reigning Queen of England would share an intriguing familial bond in Gloucester County, Virginia of all places?
Other sites and amazing historic homes include: Toddsbury, White Hall, Timberneck, the Shelly Archaeological District, Capahosic, the Rosewell Ruins, Roaring Springs, Little England, Lands End, Lowland Cottage, Kempsville, Exchange, Elmington, Auburn, Dunham-Massie, The Gloucester County Museum, Holly Knoll, Gloucester Women's Club, Sewall's Ordinary, Fairfield Archaeological Site, Airville, Burgh Westra, Abingdon Glebe house and many others not
listed herein.
"Wahunsencawh" Also Known as The Great Powhatan
The Great Chief Powhatan was, without question, one of the great people from Gloucester who changed the world. His dwelling place was at Werwocomoco— "the meeting place of the chiefs"— on the shores of the York River, at Purton (Poetan) Bay. Born in 1545, he inherited a chiefdom of four to six tribes that he expanded (through negotiation or coercion) to thirty-two by the time the English arrived at Jamestown. In his own words Smith described Powhatan as an emperor of sorts, a statuesque and well-proportioned man with a strong, lean body capable of any sort of work. Smith was obviously respectful of the man and the personal presence that characterized this great native King, who lived to be seventy years old and died in 1618.
It is estimated that Powhatan's chiefdom numbered somewhere between 12,000 and 21,000 persons. Descendents of the Powhatan confederacy still dwell among us in the Middle Peninsula and Tidewater Regions of Virginia. Indeed, they are the true "first families" of Virginia. It is safe to say that Powhatan and his people were the key ingredient in the survival of the first permanent English settlement in America. Pocahontas figured prominently in all of this.
The Brave and Immortal Pocahontas
Throughout our lives we have all heard stories, whether real or embellished about Pocahontas. She was named Matoaka by her uncle Openchancanough. A life-sized bronze statue of her graces Main Street at Gloucester Courthouse as a continual reminder of her importance to the early founding of our nation and the saving of the early colonists from starvation. She was used as a pawn by the English who captured her around 1613 and held her hostage at Jamestown, where she met and was educated by John Rolfe, a widower. They later married resulting in a temporary peace between the English settlers and the Powhatan Confederation. In 1616, upon hearing that Pocahontas would be coming to England with her husband John Rolfe and young son Thomas, Smith took it upon himself to write the Queen of England a letter regarding his experience with Pocahontas, in the New World. His words are as follows:
"Most admired Queen—
…So it is, that some ten years ago being in Virginia, and taken prisoner by the power of Powhatan their chief King, I received from this great Salvage exceeding great courtesy, especially from his son Nantaquaus…and his sister Pocahontas, the Kings most dear and well-beloved daughter, being but a child of twelve or thirteen years of age…she hazarded the beating out of her own brains to save mine; and not only that, but so prevailed with her father, that I was safely conducted to Jamestown: where I found about eight and thirty miserable poor and sick creatures, to keep possession of all those large territories of Virginia; such was the weakness of this poor commonwealth, as had the salvages not fed us, we directly had starved. And this relief, most gracious Queen, was commonly brought us by this Lady Pocahontas."
"Most admired Queen—
…So it is, that some ten years ago being in Virginia, and taken prisoner by the power of Powhatan their chief King, I received from this great Salvage exceeding great courtesy, especially from his son Nantaquaus…and his sister Pocahontas, the Kings most dear and well-beloved daughter, being but a child of twelve or thirteen years of age…she hazarded the beating out of her own brains to save mine; and not only that, but so prevailed with her father, that I was safely conducted to Jamestown: where I found about eight and thirty miserable poor and sick creatures, to keep possession of all those large territories of Virginia; such was the weakness of this poor commonwealth, as had the salvages not fed us, we directly had starved. And this relief, most gracious Queen, was commonly brought us by this Lady Pocahontas."
Speculation has run rampant regarding the relationship that existed between Pocahontas and Captain Smith, which was most likely one of curiosity and a mere acquaintance. Much has been made about Captain Smith's intentions and hidden agenda in writing this letter to Queen Anne. Could it be in a nostalgic moment, that Smith merely wanted Pocahontas, as Lady Rebecca, to receive as gracious a welcome from Queen Anne as she herself, her brother and her father had shown to him and his co-horts so many years before in Virginia? Or perhaps he was shamelessly promoting himself and trying to attach himself to her coat-tails.
Pocahontas' life story is still inspiring four hundred years after her death. Her personal dignity in the face great tribulation, her resilience, generosity of heart and ability to build bridges with those who were very different than her native people rank her as one of the most captivating and intriguing women in American history. She will forever endure as the first and only true "American" Princess to set foot on foreign (English) soil. A life-sized statue of Pocahontas graces the garden at St. George's Church, Gravesend, Kent, England.
Other Gloucester Notables
In 1714 the first coin made in the colonies was known as the "Gloucester Token." This is bound to have greatly irritated the crown.
John Buckner, Gloucester County's clerk of the court owned the first printing press in Virginia in 1682. On July 14, 1770, one of the first Tea Parties took place in Gloucester County (on the York), with unanimous support from officials in both Gloucester and Yorktown.
Thomas Calhoun Walker (1862–1953) heard the emancipation proclamation read from under a honey pod tree as a small boy. As he grew, he sought every opportunity to work and educate himself. As a young man, he literally talked his way into admittance at Hampton Institute where he was initially rejected for lack of education. He went on to become one of the most well-loved citizens in Gloucester and the first black attorney to practice law in Gloucester County. He was a strong advocate for the importance of education, personal responsibility and land ownership for blacks. He was elected twice to the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors from 1891–1895. Walker was appointed as the Commonwealth of Virginia's first black collector of customs in 1893 and became the only black to hold statewide office in President Roosevelt's Works Project Administration.
Thomas Jefferson and George Washington spent many years in Gloucester County visiting either friends or family at Warner Hall and Rosewell. Rosewell, built by the Mann family of Gloucester, was the grandest colonial home ever built in Virginia. The ruins that remain to this day attest to its grandeur.
With so much yet to tell, the vast History of Gloucester and her marvelous estates are still relatively untouched.
I hope this article has uncovered some of the lesser known things that might provoke a greater appreciation and understanding of the forces that collided here and left their mark for future generations to ponder.

Most motorcycle riding courses teach you how to control your bike. And they do that well. But one part that is often missing is learning better control of your body. What type of course do you attend to learn that?
Yoga for Motorcyclists is a set of exercises designed to help you better feel and control your body.
Motorcycling is after all a "feeling" or "sensing" sport. If you aren't aware of your bike and the road around you, you aren't going to be riding for very long. The exercises in this book also focus on feeling. By learning to feel your body you'll have to think about it less in order to control it. Instead you can respond.
I've been a motorcycle rider for about 16 years. And I've been a yoga teacher for about the same length of time. I started of as a very uncoordinated individual. I was very clumsy. And so as a teacher and a motorcycle rider I worked on exercises to help both myself and my students learn better body awareness and better control.
Of course controlling the bike is important, but if you can control your body, then controlling the bike becomes that much easier.
You'll then be able to control your body and your bike with less effort.
And it'll help you become a smarter biker because you'll know how to feel your center and control it.
Riding is a constantly evolving skill and it helps to be able to analyze what you've done.
In Yoga for Bikers the focus isn't just on controlling your body, but also feeling it. And that is what gives you the ability to analyze what you have done so that you can constantly get better and Motorcycle Riding.
With Yoga for Motorcyclists, you'll learn how to use your points of contact with the bike to feel it your body position.
You'll learn how to shift your center so that you can control the bike with greater ease.
With the information and exercises in this book you'll be gain more confidence in the corners because you'll know what you are trying to do and how to go about doing it.
I've been a yoga teacher for the last 16 years and I've ridden motorcycles for about the same length of time. I'm not a racer, I've been on some track courses, but I've learned the most from riding and from feeling my body both on and off the bike. The exercises in this book are simple body awareness exercises.
Think of them as driving lessons for your body. The better you can feel and control your body, the easier it is to use it to feel and control your bike.
The book includes detailed instructions for all exercises as well as illustrations and Motorcycle Riding notes to explain how the exercises can relate to motorcycle riding.
The exercises are designed to be simple so that you can get on with doing them. The key in all exercises is to move slowly. And to move smoothly. And if you have questions about the book, I've included my email address in the book.

Procrastinating via my Facebook News Feed has reaped yet another reward: Jeff Skierka's Mixtape Table. It's perfect for my bucket list reading room, the one I get to decorate according to my whim alone. The coffee table would beam back at me in its reclaimed maple, walnut, and lucite glory, nudging me to think of my junior high days when I carried around Monica, Tevin Campbell, Heavy D, and En Vogue casette singles in a plastic Keroppi box on road trips to San Francisco with the 'rents.
And hold on to your yellow Sony Sports Walkman: Skierka's table is reversible, having an A side and B side.
Yes way.
