Faculty present at American Control Conference
Dr. Miriam Faied, instructor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Dr. Rick Hill, associate professor in Mechanical Engineering and Associate Dean of Research in the College of Engineering & Science, presented their research findings at the 60th American Control Conference (ACC) in Seattle, WA last month.
The annual conference is internationally recognized as a premier scientific and engineering conference dedicated to the advancement of control theory and practice. The ACC brings together an international community of researchers and practitioners to discuss the latest findings in automatic control.
Hill along with Stephane Lafortune, professor at University of Michigan in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science presented Scaling the Formal Synthesis of Supervisory Control Software for Multiple-Robot Systems. Faied presented Multi-Object Path Planning for Optimal Classifier.
Nearly 1,000 papers were presented across 19 parallel sessions during the large international conference.
Hill, who is a member of ASME and an associate editor on the Conference Editorial Board of IEEE's Control System Society, looks forward to this annual conference.
"This is one of the bigger conferences in our field so it is a good place to disseminate your work and to see what other people in the field are working on," said Hill. "Personally, being active in research helps me to be aware of trends in the field that I can then incorporate into my courses. The act of doing research also helps me build intuition and understanding for the topics I teach. Even today I continue to learn things that help me to explain concepts in my undergraduate courses better."

Construction work for the new Cortex MetroLink Station may result in delays for some Red Line and Blue Line MetroLink passengers during the evening this week.
On Monday, April 16, through Thursday, April 19, from 8 p.m. to end of service, MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Grand MetroLink Station, and Blue Line trains will only operate between the Forest Park-DeBaliviere and Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 MetroLink Stations, due to construction work for the Cortex MetroLink Station.
Updates on MetroLink operations can be found at metrostlouis.org in the Rider Alert section.

Two questions matter most to the financial survival of a biotech company: How much cash does it have in the bank, and how fast is it burning through it? That's especially true in dark economic days, so I checked on just how well-prepared Seattle's public biotech companies are to weather this particular storm.
The findings aren't encouraging. Only two companies in the Northwest—Seattle Genetics and Dendreon—had more than $100 million in the bank at the end of September, according to their filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The last time I remember doing a local analysis like this, in February 2004 for The Seattle Times, there were six companies in the $100 million club. They were Icos, Corixa, Dendreon, Cell Therapeutics, ZymoGenetics, and Seattle Genetics.
The economic downturn, of course, is a national problem for an industry that lives and dies based on investors' willingness to take big risks with big chunks of capital that take years to pay off, if ever. Profitable industry heavyweights like Amgen and Genentech aren't in trouble, but of the 248 unprofitable biotechs that are publicly traded, about half have less than a year's worth of cash on hand, according to an October report by Eun Yang, an analyst with Jeffries & Co.
"It looks like 2009 and 2010 will be pivotal years for Seattle biotech," says Carl Weissman, president of Accelerator, the Seattle-based biotech startup incubator. "These companies have to find great partnerships that will bring in cash, or they need to cut spending, or they have to hope the financial markets turn around." He added that several companies may have little choice but to sell at a bargain price. "Some of the signs on the front doors may be changing."
For those of you looking for a silver lining, you can include Amgen. It has about 1,000 employees in Seattle and Bothell, a mind-boggling $9.8 billion in cash and investments in the bank, and another potential blockbuster drug being primed for the market next year. Amgen, for one, has indicated it may scoop up some of these cheap biotechs, according to this Bloomberg report.
So here's where the 10 publicly-traded, unprofitable, Seattle-based life sciences companies currently stand, in no particular order. I left out Sonosite (NASDAQ: SONO), because it's profitable, so cash on hand isn't quite as vital.
—Seattle Genetics (NASDAQ: SGEN). This Bothell, WA-based company is one of the bright spots. It had $187 million in cash at the end of September, and because it generates revenue from technology licenses, it expects to still have $150 million on hand at year's end. It is also negotiating with the FDA on a pivotal trial design for a drug for Hodgkin's disease that has produced stellar clinical trial results.
—Dendreon (NASDAQ: DNDN). Dendreon had almost $107 million stashed away at the end of September, and collected another $20 million in a stock offering last month. It has enough cash to operate the business well past the middle of 2009, when it will get critical information on whether its lead drug candidate for prostate cancer is able to extend lives. Still, Seattle-based Dendreon has socked enough away to advance a second candidate into clinical trials, D-3263, early next year.
—ZymoGenetics (NASDAQ: ZGEN). It's been a wicked year for this anchor of the local scene. Sales of its sole marketed product, recombinant thrombin for surgical bleeding, have been disappointing to say the least, with just $7 million expected in its first year on the market. The Seattle company had $81.1 million left at the end of September, and is burning it very fast with a quarterly net loss of $28.8 million. ZymoGenetics is able to borrow as much as $100 million from Deerfield Management, but its ability to pay off the debt depends on product sales taking off in the future. The company now has cash to last "into 2010," which is less than its usual two-year cash cushion, says CFO Jim Johnson. To save pennies, ZymoGenetics has cancelled its holiday party and won't put up lights this holiday season on its famous smokestacks along Interstate-5, says spokeswoman Susan Specht.
—Trubion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TRBN). This Seattle-based company had $61.6 million in cash at the end of September, and burned through a more modest $6.6 million net loss in the quarter. Still, Trubion has had to find ways to conserve $12 million of its cash this year, the company said.
—Targeted Genetics (NASDAQ: TGEN). When H. Stewart Parker, the founder, CEO, and spiritual leader of this determined Seattle company heads to the exit, you know things are looking grim. It had $9.2 million left in the bank at the end of September, and only enough money to run the business into the first quarter of 2009. New CEO Susan Robinson once worked at Cambridge, MA-based Genzyme, one of the few healthy biotechs still pursuing gene therapy, so I wouldn't be surprised if Genzyme is at least kicking the tires on this penny stock.
—Cell Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CTIC). Things are so dark at CTI, that they released data showing their experimental drug for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma caused tumors to completely disappear for 20 percent of patients, compared with 6 percent on standard chemotherapy, and it only boosted its stock by one penny, to 34 cents. Cell Therapeutics had $11.7 million in cash left at the end of September, and an operating loss of $17.8 million. That means it needs to raise more cash in a hurry, before the end of the year, the company said.
—Oncothyreon (NASDAQ: ONTY). This Seattle-based cancer drug company had $11.4 million left in the bank at the end of September, and lost $3.6 million in the most recent quarter. It has enough to run into the first quarter of 2009.
—OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: OGXI). This cancer drug developer, with offices in Bothell and Vancouver, BC, which inherited the balance sheet of Sonus Pharmaceuticals, had $17.2 million at the end of September. It says it has enough to run its operation "through 2009."
—Northstar Neuroscience (NASDAQ: NSTR). The Seattle maker of an electrical brain-stimulation device for patients with severe depression has already made significant cuts this year, after its machine failed to help stroke patients restore movement to disabled arms. It had $70.2 million at the end of September, and expects to still have $53 million left at the end of 2009, the company said.
—MDRNA (NASDAQ: MRNA). This RNA interference drug developer, in Bothell, reported its finances today. At the end of September, it had $10.9 million in cash and investments, and reported a net loss of $16.1 million. It has already made layoffs, and former CEO Steven Quay left last month, but retains a seat on the board. MDRNA said it believes it has enough cash to operate into the first quarter of 2009.

NAGOYA, Japan – As the world's largest automotive manufacturer, Toyota distinguishes itself by means of specific models and high-calibre technologies. The Japanese car brand is equally committed, however, to the development of services that fall within the larger scope of mobility. One such initiative is Drive to Go, a new retail concept based on car sharing. The service targets people under the age of 25 who live in metropolitan areas and can afford neither the steep costs of ownership nor the accompanying maintenance expenses and parking fees.
'Instead of providing a place in which young people get to see and touch cars, we've come up with a service package that allows them to actually use one,' says Atsushi Muroi of Archicept City, whose studio developed the project with Inamoto & Co. 'This café-cum-rental-kiosk serves as the base station.'
It's no longer about the purchase of high-end goods but rather the gaining of new experiences
The first realization of Drive to Go is located in Nagoya, Japan. An SUV parked prominently outside the café, along with wooden 'picnic' furniture inside the space, illustrates Archicept City's glamping motif, a luxury style of camping that's gaining popularity among young urbanites. After taking their fill of free sandwiches and coffee in the café, customers can select a rental car that's already equipped with outdoor camping gear. Once checked in, they need only collect their friends and drive to one of the partnering campsites to complete the glamping experience.

Is your Whirlpool direct drive washer making loud/strange noises in spin cycle or during agitation? This post will show you how to isolate your Whirlpool transmission from your washer in order to troubleshoot what the cause of the noise is. This post will also show you how to replace the transmission in your direct drive washing machine. For your convenience, you can read the step by step instructions or watch the video at the bottom of this post. If you need to replace your Whirlpool transmission, you can either replace your transmission with a used transmission or purchase a new one. The most common direct drive transmission is part number 3360629, but you can insert your model number in the search box at the bottom of the page to be sure you have the correct transmission for your washing machine.
First, let's identify if you have a Whirlpool direct drive washer. If you look under your machine, and it looks almost exactly like the picture below, you have a direct drive washer. Most appliance repair guys would tell you to keep these machines as long as you can. They are good reliable machines, easy to fix, and parts for the most part are cheaper then most of the newer appliance coming out. If you determine that you do have a direct drive washing machine, continue to the next step.
I'd recommend moving your washing machine to the garage or outside for the sake of room and to not make a mess. If you choose to do the repair in your laundry room, you will need to unplug your washer from the wall outlet and turn off the water to your machine. You will also need to unhook your hoses from the back of the machine.
The first thing that you need to do is open up the lid and remove your detergent dispenser. You can pull it right up with your hands, no tools required. Next remove the dust cap. Now remove the 7/16 hex head bolt. Once the bolt is removed, you can remove the agitiator by pulling up on it from the bottom (watch your face).
After the agitator is removed you will see two small parts that located on the spline of the transmission remove those and set them aside (picture coming soon).
Now you can carefully place the washer on its back. Be very careful with the inlet valve. (The plastic part where your hoses screw in the back of your washer.) Once you washer is on it's back, remove the pump by popping off the two clips that hold the pump in place. Move the pump out of the way. Remove the wiring harness from the motor. Remove the plastic clip on the transmission that holds the wiring harness. Now remove the (3) 1/2″ bolts that hold the transmission into place.
Once the 3 bolts are removed from the transmission, the transmission along with the motor can be pulled out. If you are going to replace your transmission, at this point, you can remove the motor from the transmission and then hook your motor up to the new transmission, but to test the transmission, we will put the washing machine back on it's feet. Open up the control panel and then pop the two golden clips that secure the cabinet to rear panel of the machine. Now we can run the wring harness back to the motor, carefully plug the washer into the wall outlet and then put the washer into spin cycle. (You can also run this test in the agitation cycle, but you would need to fill the washer up with water to do so.) . If your transmission is making funky noises, and you know the motor coupling is good, replace your transmission. If your transmission isn't making any funky noises, you know that your problem is down stream, for example your the shoes on your basket drive may be dragging.
Here are a few videos that can help you determine what a transmission should sound like:
Sound of a good transmission:
Sound of a bad transmission:
Sound of a bad transmission in a washer:

You can find reasons to slam the guy from both the left and the right. But not every member of Congress chooses to spend their spare time trudging through Africa on missions like this one:
Senator Richard G. Lugar, Republican of Indiana, and a delegation of Pentagon officials visited the laboratories on Wednesday for the first stop on a three-country tour of East Africa to assess the next generation of American security concerns….
In 2004, Congress expanded the mandate of the Nunn-Lugar program, which originally focused on dismantling warheads in former Soviet states, to include geographic regions like this one. Now, Mr. Lugar's trip will take the delegation to Uganda, Burundi and then Kenya….
The laboratories at the [Ugandan] Ministry of Agriculture, built in the 1920s, have broken windows, and a chain-link fence surrounding the compound is ripped. According to the commissioner, there used to be over 200 technical staff members, but now there are only six. In the anthrax laboratory, one doctor showed how to use a cellphone camera placed on top of a microscope to study the bacteria, a demonstration of the lack of proper equipment.
In Uganda Lugar found anthrax stored in an unlocked refrigerator, as well as samples of the terrifying Ebola and Marburg viruses, both of which are extremely lethal–and roughly as virulent as the dreaded "Rage" virus you may have seen in action.
Fortunately there's no place more alien to Islamic radicalism than East Africa. Oh, wait.
So be grateful that someone is keeping an eye on this. And watch to see what happens to Nunn-Lugar funding in an era of austerity and ascendant small-government conservatives, who have never loved the program to begin with.

A simple guide for bringing your brand to China
Many companies/brands that are hoping to expand are now looking to China as a land of opportunity. More and more literature is flooding the internet about the high net worth earners and emerging middle class. Attempting to try and 'break china' is fast becoming the next rung on the ladder for many successful businesses. Ripe with opportunity and riddled with consumers, there is no question that if you are successful in bringing your brand to China you are looking to a bright future.
When a person moves to China one of the main worries discussed is 'culture shock'. Don't let this happen to your business. So your brand doesn't get lost in translation there are some really critical points to consider. If your business is already successful enough to be looking to expand overseas you probably don't need reminding. Many of these will apply to all international moves, however it will be central to your success whether or not you always keep in mind that China is unique, and as such your approach must be too.
1 – Will China want it?
It may seem an obvious first thought for every business aiming to seek a life abroad, but it is number one on the list for a reason. There is definitely something to be said for the trail-blazers that bring totally fresh markets to China. Wine and cheeses for example are fast becoming popular goods and are set to be huge business. However it's imperative to understand that there are some things that just don't translate, and therefore won't sell.
There's no point trying to become China's largest Kiwi importer, they originate from China. On the other hand, having insider knowledge like China's suspension of the 14 year ban on video games consoles earlier this year will help you make your move at the right time.
2 – The Legalities
The laws in China are different to the rest of the world. Make sure your business is legal in the country by consulting trusted Nationals and existing business'. People who are already in and have a competent of China are going to be your greatest allies.
The majority of companies moving to China are doing so as WFOE's (Wholly Foreign Owned Entities). Understanding the rules and regulations that apply to this type of business within China will ensure the stability and legality of your business. For example, for the majority of countries (particularly in the west) legally opening a business does not require gaining direct Government approval. This is an absolute must in China. Without the appropriate Government approval your business will not be registered and you could end up in big trouble.
3 – Choosing a name
We've all seen the stories of people getting Chinese character tattoos thinking that they are telling the world something positive about them, when in actuality they are huge faux pas if not entire nonsense.
The same applies to businesses who don't appreciate the necessity of choosing a China-friendly name. First and foremost you must understand that many words or phrases in English just will not translate. For example if you ask a Chinese national how to say sorry they may reply with duì bu qǐ the direct translation of which is 'don't get up'. This simple difference demonstrates one of the more subtle variances in language; don't get caught out by a bigger one.
Take one of the globes best-known brands, Coca Cola. When first attempting to sell in China the obvious thing seemed to go with a name that closely resembled its English title. Unfortunately the direct translation ended up meaning something like 'bite the wax tadpole'. Luckily it was noted that this name failed to encapsulate what they were hoping to convey and the name was changed to still closely resemble the English pronunciation whilst retaining their brand image but translating as 'pleasurable to the mouth'.
4 – Marketing
In order to move into any new market a great deal of your time needs to be spent on your marketing strategy. The first place to start is recognising the huge difference in the mediums available to you in the East. Your new audience will be used to an entirely alternate marketing and sales pitch style and you may need to dramatically adapt your approach.
Make use of the wealth of options are out there. Don't be phased by the fact that some of the mediums you will be used to using aren't available and recognise the opportunity at your feet with the multiple platforms that Chinese people are using. SEO optimising for searches on Baidu, your audience are different.
WeChat (or its Chinese name WeXin) with over 300 million active users and commentators expecting those numbers to over-take Facebook, is not to be dismissed. It's not alone, with huge numbers of Internet users in China also flocking to sites like Sina Weibo and QQ, good knowledge of the social media platforms your audience are using is imperative.
Independent digital marketing agencies like Digital Jungle are poised to support western businesses looking to enter the Chinese market. With in depth knowledge of the digital landscape in China alongside roots in the western world, agencies like this will be able to help you to spark the interest of your Chinese audience whilst retaining you brands ethos and identity.
5 – Local Knowledge
China really is a vast country. The audience you have will vary dramatically even from region to region within the country, let alone overseas. The first and basic consideration is that Chinese is not a language. The two most common languages in China are Mandarin and Cantonese. It is estimated that 70% of the population speak Mandarin, however the multiple dialects often have Chinese people speaking the same language struggling to understand each other.
In a country with several minority languages including Cantonese and Hokkien, where different regions will have different accents, pronunciations and even words, connecting your business with someone (or an organisation) with local knowledge will drastically help with the preceding four points. These are the people who are going to know what works in China. How to make sure you're conscious of the 'red-tape', retain your brand integrity within a drastically different framework and perhaps most importantly, what is going to be effective in creating Eastern interest in your brand.
Hopefully this guide will offer you a useful starting point of how to bring your brand to China. Of course this is not a comprehensive guide and there are going to be numerous considerations to make before making the bold move of expanding to China. China can bring fortune to those companies that do make the move, and furthermore make it successfully.

With 100 or so projects demanding my time, I am oft unable to complete something within the time restraints others place on me.
For reasons of no interest here, the last couple of weeks have made demands on my role as a Licensed Coast Guard Captain to move a ship that I helped build over 30 years ago from its winter home to the yard where it will be recommissioned for another season of sailing on the Hudson River.
Additionally, I am involved in a new project, tentatively called "Gestalt Dialogues," that will appear shortly here on Behavior Online. It will have brief, provocative papers by leading Gestalt theoreticians designed to elicit responses. Selected responses will be threaded in the hope of creating yet another contribution to the body of Gestalt literature.
In order to transcend the obvious limitations of the Internet, other technologies such as fax, etc., will be used to engage those not "on-line" in the ongoing dialogues.
Every six months the dialogues will be "freeze framed" and published as a print journal.
So, if you miss me when I am gone, there will be an announcement about where to find me posted here soon.

Further Savings Result from Elimination of Early Amortization Payments
Government did not meet the February payment in light of the ongoing restructuring. And according to the Prime Minister, the big saving is in the amortization, which was set to increase in August of this year. However, government says it has been able to curtail as much as eighteen million dollars annually from the coupon rates.
Prime Minister Dean Barrow
"So that in itself represents a huge savings. But the even bigger savings from my point of view, you realize that when you look at what was to happen to amortization and the fact that we've completely done away with amortization because the position was that the semiannual coupon payments, interest payments of thirteen million, eight-fifty-five, three-eighteen-forty-two, was going to go up right here in August to seventeen million, eight-one-four, one ninety-eight-fifty-five. So on the coupon, on the interest rate we've saved a difference of between, well now it's a little under thirteen point eight-five-five and seventeen million, eight-fourteen… Eighteen million Belize dollars a year. But where we were really going to have our clock cleaned was when the amortizations would have started which you would then have had to the interest payments. As of the year 2019, we would have had to start paying amortizations, August, twentieth, 2019 of thirty-one million dollars. So that by August of 2020 we would have been paying the seventeen million in interest, plus the amortization of thirty-one million. We looked at what that was going to do. You would have been paying like sixty-four for round figures, sixty-four million U.S dollars a year, from 2020 straight through until the end of the bond, which was to have concluded at that time in 2038. So every year from 2020 you would have been paying this. There is simply no way, apart from finding the Belize dollar amount which would have put a strain on our economy, there is simply no way our foreign exchange earnings could have sustained this sixty-four million dollar withdrawal from the system annually, from 2020 to 2038."

Hello. I've been looking for a solution for several days with no success so I decided to create my own thread. I've recently bought the G50-80 laptop. I performed a fresh install of win 7 Ultimate x64 on it and I downloaded and installed the most recent drivers from lenovo website. The problem is that Dolby surround sound is not working. The profile selector shows up properly and the equalizer works properly as well but surround virtualizer does nothing, ticking and unticking it does nothing as well as changing the level. My sound quality is at 24bit 44100 khz and I also own Creative Aurvana Live headphones which work just fine on my PC and surround works perfectly. My Conexant drivers are also up to date so the only thing that comes to my mind is that the new Conexant drivers are somewhat broken. Please help, I bought this laptop specifically because it was supposed to have surround sound and it's not working ;-;
Fixed, I uninstalled all of my conexant / smart audio / dolby drivers and followed this guide http://www.gizdev.com/install-dolby-home-theather-v4-in-windows-7810/
now surround audio works perfectly and I even have more effects than before thanks to Dolby Home Theater v4
That guide should be also helpful for people having the PCEE4 error.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Welcome to the Lenovo Community Thial and thanks for sharing your solution !

i remember telling school folks my (blue) hands were dyed with indigo. they just stared.ReplyDelete
i agree with martine - making beauty is much more satisfying than perfect nails :) love the pics!ReplyDelete
nails shmails.... Much better to enjoy life.ReplyDelete
It's really not worth the effort, plus filing nails makes my skin crawl.
I have given up trying to have nice nails...much happier with the ones l have because it means l am happy eco-dyeing! HaxReplyDelete
ur hands somewhat inspired my hands, me thinks. its interesting how others react.ReplyDelete
i showed one woman because we were talking about tribal prints and she pushed it away and said "why would you maim yourself like that"!!! there must be a parallel universe that I don't know about and every now and then I cross over into it because it can be the only explanation for such an aggresive reaction.
it put me off her fast let me tell you!

15 - Clothilde prays for the conversion of her husband, King Clovis
19 - Remigius explaining something to King Clovis ?
21+22 - Death and apotheosis of St Remigius
Remigius (aka Remi or Rémy) was Archibishop of Reims c.459-533. He is best known for the conversion and baptism of the first Christian King of the Franks, Clovis I.
This is quite a difficult window to unravel as some of the scenes (particularly panels 3, 4, 19 and 20) do note relate to any of the stories of St Remigius in any of the known textual sources. Nor do they appear in other image cycles. Even the great Yves Delaporte admitted defeat here. One can only assume that the designers of the window had access to a now lost source of legends about the saint. Other episodes, such as the miraculous appearance of the Holy Chrism used in the French coronation rituals, or the creation of wine at a feast (obvious and deliberate echoes of Christ's miracle at Cana) are widely depicted and also appear sculpted on the north transept portal of Reims Cathedral.
See Delaporte & Houvet pp. 266-71 for more on the background to this window and notes on its condition.

Implant-supported replacement teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth.
For patients, dental implants provide comfort, convenience and confidence. For dentists, dental implants provide patient satisfaction, enhanced reputations and more stimulation… as well as increased revenue opportunities.
Besides featuring 'The Original' dental implant system, the Brånemark® System, which has provided us and our customers with outstanding knowledge and understanding, Nobel Biocare's implant solution offering also includes the brands NobelPerfect™, NobelDirect™ and Replace® Select to cater to all levels of experience and all indications.
We are the market leader and we are driving the development of new dental implant standards and protocols.
It's worth the drive to Elmvale! As a new chapter in my life opened, I began my journey doing something extremely difficult; putting myself first. While having another reline done, it was suggested I consider an implant. Well, I listened intently and set the wheels in motion. As traumatic as it may seem, it really isn't. Dr. David Solly made the procedure a comfortable experience. After having an artist make the new plate to fit with the implant; my life has been free of hassles with food, and my smile is better than ever. Asked or not, I will tell you it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I look forward to the friendly professional service I receive when I go back for check-ups and cleaning. Like I said, "It's worth the trip to Elmvale".
Barrie, ON
My chief complaint was my teeth before the implants. They were not very attractive, and they were becoming very mobile. There were very few teeth, only 8 or 9 in my mouth, so I was limited to what I could eat. I couldn't eat a nice steak or even bite on things I enjoyed. Dr. Solly took the time to speak with me about implants. I have seen so many people with their bottom teeth flipping in and out of their mouth, so I didn't want that to be a part of my life. At Dr. Solly's, with the information he provided for me and the way he spoke to me, I felt very comfortable. I was not very happy with all the work needed on my top teeth and the extractions because of my anxiety. Dr. Solly helped me get over my anxiety and made me feel comfortable. As for the healing, I did as Dr. Solly told me to do and everything healed great! I healed even quicker than I expected to. I'm really happy with the results and the way I look, as well as the way my teeth look. I liked the people that I worked with, they made it a really, really easy transition for me to making my sloppy bottom teeth go to a nice smile with a firm bite. Overall, the service and empathy from all the staff was just excellent. They were very, very friendly and very concerned with my individual feelings, especially Dr. David Solly - the one who did my implants for me. The two teams worked together really well.

British Dressage notes sport's growing popularity
British Dressage has marked three major milestones in recent weeks, with membership reaching 14,000, horse registrations at 11,000 and free online associate membership at 38,000.
Headquartered at Meriden in the West Midlands, British Dressage now boasts a total membership base of 52,000, proof that support for dressage continues to grow in the UK.
An improvement in the Nation's economy, Olympic success, new competition in the form of Team Quest, regional initiatives like 'Have a Go Days' and improved opportunity have all contributed to the increase in numbers but the overriding factor is simply the appeal of the sport as an accessible equestrian discipline.
Participation in the first half of 2014 is also following the increase in members with figures some 17% up on a like-for-like period last year.
"It is fantastic news that we have reached this significant milestone," says Jason Brautigam, BD Chief Executive.
"Dressage continues to go from strength to strength, with our membership growing rapidly this year as a result of exciting new initiatives such as Team Quest. This is undoubtedly part of the legacy of London 2012, which has brought the sport to a wider audience, but is also testament to the hard work of all of the team at British Dressage."
BD's 14,000th member is 17-year-old Charlotte Louette from Kent who joined on the BD tradestand at the recent Hickstead CDIO3* fixture.
Charlotte took advantage of an offer of 'join and your horse goes free', to make the break into affiliated dressage. She's joined as her horse, Theodore, an eight-year-old part-bred Welsh Cob, is ready for affiliated competition. She's had him since he was four and has brought him on to elementary level. Charlotte explains; "We've been doing some BE eventing and his dressage is always brilliant but the cross country isn't! So I thought the best thing was to have a change of discipline. He's been great to train and has the talent so we'll see how it goes."
The honour of the 11,000th horse goes to 16-year-old Fultons Fernet who'll be ridden by 20-year-old Sarah Houldridge from Cambridge. They came to BD via a Have a Go Day in the Eastern region where participants ride a test, get feedback from a trainer and learn more about what competing and training with BD is all about. "Fern" is owned and bred by Sarah's boss, Sharon Newbound who has asked Sarah to get her back into competition life. "We're aiming to start at Novice and will see how it goes. I'd love to qualify for a Championship but the aim is to get her out and about and give me the competition experience," Sarah said.

Join us on Wednesday 7th September as we exhume dead scientists (NOT LITERALLY) and think about all the awful, shocking, and occasionally hilarious things they did in between inventing really cool stuff and saving our lives.
Steve and our performers will demolish the Great Man Theory of The History Of Science and replace it with the Total Arse Theory of the History of Science.
The line-up:
Cerys Bradley – Marie Stopes was a pioneer of family planning who pushed a much needed conversation about contraception onto the British public. It's such a shame that she was 100% entirely motivated by her arsehole opinions about certain groups of people.
Sophie Meekings – What's that horrible version of the Midas touch, you know, where everything you touch gives you cancer? Oh, that's right, it's called WORKING WITH PIERRE AND MARIE CURIE.
Ian Bowkett – Ian will get confused between the Victorian physiologist J.S. Haldane and his geneticist son J.B.S. Haldane because their names are too similar (and they were both arseholes).
Olivier Usher – How Tycho Brahe laid the groundwork for the scientific revolution and set the standards for the London private rented housing sector.
Andrew Holding – Did you know that GCSE Chemistry celebrates the work of a mass murdering misogynist who accidentally fuelled two world wars? He doesn't even come first in the chemistry rankings for who killed the most people (we checked), but it doesn't stop him from being the biggest ARSEHOLE.
Maia Elliott – Antonie/Anthonie/Antony/Antonj van Leeuwenhoek: scientist, inventor, tradesman and extraordinary pain in the arse. Maia will be skipping over all the 'Father of Microbiology' crap to reveal a man who's priorities were so wrong, they were almost right.
Sadie Harrison – Sadie spent the first year of her PhD reading the diaries of the original Royal Society guys, and knows all of their dirty secrets.
Ali Mozaffari – Ali's talking Richard Feynman, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
Tickets are £6 plus 60p booking fee and available HERE.
All ticket money will be donated to Marie Stopes UK.

Sinn Féin sees childcare as a public service for both children and parents. When it works, a State's childcare system can be a huge employer; help with the health and mental development of our smallest children; facilitate parents, especially women, to access the workforce; and be a positive component of economic growth.
View and share our Better For Childcare document in PDF Booklet format here.
Our health system is in a state of crisis. This crisis can be boiled down to two key failings on the part of successive governments: firstly, an extreme depth of fundamental inequality in how patients are treated, differentiated on ability to pay and location; and secondly, the sheer incapacity of the system to deal with even demographic pressures, evidenced particularly in our Emergency Departments and maternity care.
Sinn Féin is committed to the realisation of a world-class system of universal health care, accessed on the basis of need, free at the point of delivery, and funded by progressive taxation for the Irish state. We believe there is no greater good worth striving for.
Visit our Budget 2016 special web section here.
The coming election will be about who can deliver a fair recovery for all our citizens. At present we have parties that imposed austerity, punished those most in need and are now claiming a one sided and unfair recovery. Sinn Féin offers a republican vision of Ireland, deliverable policies for a fair recovery and a new form of politics. An Irish language version of this document is also available here.

How to Draw a Horse's Head
In order to draw a Horse or Pony, you need a lot of practice and a good sense of proportion. If you are a beginner, however, perhaps it's a good idea to start with perfecting drawing the horse head. It is important to pay attention to its exact shape to convey the beauty and grace of this animal. It might also help you to refer to the actual photo of a horse's head as you draw. There is a separate lesson to drawing the entire horse though.
Video with tutorial how to draw a horse step by step for kids and beginners.
Step 1
Start drawing a horse head with three circles. First sketch the initial contours, as they will be the basis for our drawing a horse head. Using # 2 pencil, draw three circles like so: biggest one on top, smallest one on the bottom, and a medium-sized one in the middle. Please try to replicate my drawing in this step.
Step 2
Draw the contours of the horse's head. Work on the tentative contours of the horse's snout and head without pressing too hard on your pencil in case you might need to correct some lines later. Add a tiny circle to the largest circle that will be the horse's eyeball.
Step 3
How to draw horse's ears, nostrils, and neck. Place the ears on top of the horse's head. Outline the long neck and add nostrils and lip line. Now you can erase extra lines from your drawing.
Step 4
The horse's bridle. A bridle is necessary in order to be able to control a horse. Usually only horses in the wild or on the farm do not wear a bridle. First draw a small ring near the edge of the horse's mouth and a part of the bridle coming out of the mouth. As you progress through your drawing, add some more detail at every step. Draw a mane and perfect the shape of the eyes and nostrils.
Step 5
Finish drawing the bridle. At this step lesson how to draw a horse head, finish drawing the bridle and the ears. Aren't you proud to say that you're almost done?
Step 6
Add shadows to your drawing. This step is important and involves a certain sense of artistry in order to give the horse's head volume that makes it look realistic. It will suffice to add shadows with a # 2 pencil rather than coloring in your drawing. In this easy lesson, we used the simple steps of drawing horse head. I hope this tutorial has helped you.

Common Sowthistle (also known as Milkthistle), is widespread across northern grain-growing regions of Australia. Common Sowthistle is one of the most difficult to control weeds in winter crops with a significant proportion of populations resistant to Group B herbicides. The weed was once considered to be winter-dominant; however, it is now found all year round. Sowthistle seed has virtually no dormancy. Germination can therefore commence as soon as seeds settle on moist soil and thereby reinfesting.
Dr Peter Boutsalis, Plant Science Consulting, Adelaide, SA, investigated the bioefficiency of four glyphosate formulations including Roundup ULTRAMAX in controlling susceptible and glyphosate-resistant Sowthistle Biotypes

Incoming students at Penn State Greater Allegheny will once again take part in a campus tradition by being pinned as a part of the annual academic convocation, to be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 12, in the campus' Wunderley Gymnasium. Chief Academic Officer Kurt Torell will welcome each student and direct campus faculty in awarding each incoming student with a campus pin.
Chancellor Curtiss E. Porter will address students and their families. The pinning ceremony was introduced under Porter's leadership.
"The pin inaugurates each student's admittance to the academic community of Penn State and the beginning of her/his future academic life" said Torell. "The academic convocation is the first day for Greater Allegheny students and their families to take part in becoming acclimated to the campus, to meet the campus community, and to become better aware of the quality education that they will receive at the University."
The keynote speaker for the convocation is Verónica Montecinos, professor of sociology at Penn State Greater Allegheny.
Montecinos received a master's degree and a doctorate in sociology and a master's degree in political science from the University of Pittsburgh. She is an internationally recognized researcher whose work has been published in academic journals and edited collections. She has written about democratization and the economics profession in Latin America, gender and pension reform, and regional integration among other topics. She is the author of "Economists, Politics and the State: Chile 1958-1994," published in 1998, and co-editor of "Economists in the Americas," a forthcoming publication.

Any trip remains incomplete without shopping. And when Shopping in Hoi An is such an exotic experience, then you simply can't afford to miss it. The streets of the ancient town are packed with stores of all manner of boutiques, galleries, tailors, textile shops and home decor stores, shopping would give you a perfect accompaniment on your trip.
World's some of the best quality silk is available in Hoi An. Hoi An has an array of tailor shops. The best idea is to buy silken dress materials and then get them stitched by a local tailor. You would not only get your dress done within a day but you would also get it at a very cheaper rate.
Not only clothes but you would also find several apparels and home decors, like wall hangings and lampshades made of silk. You can also pick up the beautiful silk lanterns, which comes at very reasonable rates.
nother bargain here is original artworks. Once again, the town is home to a huge number of art galleries, many of which offer seriously cheap works that will look great on the wall at home. Hoi An also boasts a few more up-market galleries displaying pricey works by some of Vietnam's leading artists – not cheap but Vietnamese art is becoming increasingly collectible.
The other shopping items include artifacts, antiques, small bonsai plants, junk jewelries, marble statues, and small hand-crafted gift items. Lanterns, textiles and embroidery are also plentiful in Hoi An and make for an ideal souvenir or gift.
Tip for shopping
Experienced visitors to Vietnam recommend always driving a hard bargain when shopping in Hoi An. Hard does not mean aggressive, however. The trick is to bargain with a smile and to be polite – this way, you will probably get what you want at a price with which you and the dealer are both happy. If you have time to spare, it is always wise to compare products and prices; don't just buy the first item you see in the first shop.
Many people will also tell you that buying from street vendors is cheaper than buying in malls or markets, but this is not always the case, so shop around. It is better to take your time and enjoy searching for good Vietnamese souvenirs and gifts for your family and friends.
And What to buy more….

Allergies are a reaction your child's body has to things it sees as harmful. Sometimes the body's immune system treats certain foods as though they are harmful. The immune system tries to protect your child by making antibodies. These antibodies cause the body's cells to release chemicals such as histamines. These chemicals cause a rash, itching, swelling, irritation, and tight muscles in your child's airways that make it hard for him to breathe. Children who have asthma have an increased risk of severe or life-threatening reactions.
The 8 foods that are responsible for most food allergies in children include milk, soy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (such as walnuts and cashews), wheat, fish, and shellfish. Many children grow out of food allergies to eggs, milk, wheat, or soy, but other allergies may be lifelong.
If you have family history of allergies, it may be best to wait until your child is 3 years old to feed him shellfish and food containing peanuts and tree nuts. If your child does not have allergies, asthma, eczema or hives, or has mild allergies, some studies suggest that eating small amounts of foods such as peanuts may help prevent severe allergies. Talk with your child's healthcare provider if you have questions about foods or food allergies.
Nuts such as walnuts, almonds, pecans and cashews grow on trees. Peanuts grow underground and are not considered to be a "true nut." About half of the children with a peanut allergy are also allergic to tree nuts.
Soybeans are in the legume family (kidney beans, lentils, peas, and peanuts). Some children are allergic to more than one type of legume. Avoiding soy can be difficult as soybeans are used in many processed foods found in the United States. Most children with a soy allergy may safely eat soy lecithin and refined soybean oil.
There are 4 types of protein found in wheat (albumin, globulin, gliadin, and gluten). Your child may be allergic to any one of these proteins. Children with a wheat allergy may also react to oats, rye, and barley. Wheat allergy is often confused with celiac disease. Celiac disease is a digestive problem that causes the body to react to gluten, which is also found in barley and rye grains.
Chocolate, strawberries, corn, and tomatoes are often blamed for allergic reactions, but actually these foods rarely cause allergic reactions.
If you child is allergic to one food, he may be allergic to others. Ask your healthcare provider if your child needs to avoid other foods. It is also a good idea to have a dietitian check your child's diet from time to time.
If your infant is only allergic to soy, you can use regular (non-soy) baby formula. However, about half of the children with a milk allergy are also allergic to soy. If your child is allergic to both soy and cow's milk, you will need to switch to a low allergy formula. There are two types:
Completely avoiding the food that causes the allergy is the only way to prevent a reaction. You will need to change the way you shop, prepare, and order foods. You can get cookbooks for people with food allergies. There are also Web sites that sell foods for people with allergies. Ask your child's dietitian for ideas about food substitutes.
If you are breast-feeding, do not eat the food your child is allergic to. Food allergens can be absorbed from your diet and enter into your breast milk.
It is very important for you to know ingredients that may cause problems if your child is allergic. The first step is to learn to read labels and get to know which ingredients contain allergens. Foods that contain milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, or soy products must list the food in plain language on the ingredient list. These possible allergens must be listed even if they are part of a flavoring, coloring, or spice blend. Here are some things to watch out for when reading food labels:
When dining out:
Always ask about ingredients if you are not sure.
Your child
Children as young as 4 or 5 can be taught that they have a part to play in managing their food allergies. Give your child simple rules such as:
When your child can read, teach him how to read labels on packages.
Caregivers, teachers and classmates
Your child's school

Well I got the order of the 100m women wrong, but I was on the money with the 10,000m (which is a bit like bragging I tipped the Melbourne Cup would be won by a horse). Bekele's win was amazing - he runs 10,000m like no one else ever has - he ran the last lap in 53.42sec, which is 3 seconds faster than Gebrselassie could do at his peak. He joins Nurmi, Zatopek, Lasse Virren and Gebrselassie as dual winners of the 10,000m.
He is now 11 from 11 over 10,000m, which is Herb Elliott like. Stunning running. His last lap was as awesome and unreal as Bolt's 100m.
The women's 3k steeple was also a great race - the winner, Galvina-Samitova became the first woman to break 9 minutes - it was brave front running; it's one thing to sit and kick, it's another thing entirely to just run away from the field with a kilometre to go and not get caught.
Great to see Emma Snowsill win the triathlon - finally Australia gets a gold in the event we have basically owned for the last decade.
A big night of athletics tonight, the men's 3,000m steeple is always fun to watch, but it hasn't been a great year for steeplers, and the field is not up to the standard of previous Games - no one has run under 8 minutes. Kenya should still get at least 2 of the 3 medals Richard Kipkemboi is my tip for Gold. Would love to see Youcef Abdi run a PB.
The women's 800m will be won by another Kenyan - Pamela Jelimo is a class above the rest - if she is pushed she could get closer to the tainted 25 year old WR, but I doubt she'll break it (that would be too much to hope for).
Must admit I don't know much about the field of the men's long jump or 400m Hurdles; but Angelo Taylor looked the best in the Hurdles semis, so I'll tip him to win his second Gold (he won the event in Sydney).
The women's pole vault will be won by Elena Isinbaeva. In other huge tips, I'm picking Michael Phelps to win 8 Gold, the USA to get to the moon first, and the Allies to win WWII.
Here's a trivia question: who eats this each day?
Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelette. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.
Lunch: One pound of pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread, plus 1,000 calories of energy drinks.
Dinner: One pound of pasta, an entire pizza and even more energy drinks.
Yep, Michael Phelps. A bowl of grits??? And they were getting stuck into Ian Thorpe for eating an in-n-out burger.
Foxsports, thinks life is pretty cut and dried. Check out the poll on its website today:
How do you rate the Australian swim team's performance at the Olympics?
Great OR Disappointing.
Guess it can only be one or the other. "Good", "About right", or "What we hoped for" are obviously too controversial.
For a good laugh, enjoy Jon Stewart's commentary on the Olympic scandals of the first week.
A good story on the TV coverage, comparing it with that of NBC. NBC has a live streaming on it's website. Pity we don't have that here (and unfortunately you can't use the NBC stream unless you live in America).
10:26pm: What a great run by Sally McLellan to get into the final of the 100m Hurdles. Such an amazing achievement, and to be honest I think she can run a lot better than she did. She came 4th but in reality 2nd, 3rd and 4th were all together. She won't catch Lolo Jones, but you never know... a bronze is not an impossibility.
The Swedish runner in the second semi hit the first hurdle and went down - which just shows anything can happen in the hurdles, and why Sally McLellan is in with a big chance tomorrow night. The greatest female hurdler of the last 20 years was Gail Devers and she never won the Olympic title due to falls.
But even without any falls, aside from Lolo Jones, the minor medals are up for grabs. Let's hope Channel 7 shows it live (though since it'll be on at 12:30am I'll be lucky to make it - but I will though!).
11:08pm: Props to Channel 7 for showing the men's 3,000m steeplechase live.... and then they blow it all by showing a minute of ads in the middle of the race... geez you losers, it only goes for 8 minutes, why not wait?
Great run by Youcef Abdi! Another PB and he comes 6th!... 6th!!! An absolutely fantastic effort for a guy who has just kept at it over the years. Two runs in the Olympics, and two PBs - that's how you do it. To put it in context, the guy who came 7th - Ezekei Kemboi - was the Olympic Champion in Athens. The race not only showed that he knows how to peak at the right time, but would have also guaranteed Youcef some invites to major meets in Europe that will help pay the bills for a while. Just fantastic.
My tip of Kipkemboi faltered in the straight and came third.
Also well done to Dani Samuels - 9th in the women's discus. Have we seen any of the competition? Of course not.
11:33pm: At the moment in the women's pole vault it is down to 2 vaulter - Stuczynski of the USA, who has vaulted 4.80m and Isinbaeva who has done only one vault - 4.7m and has passed every other height. If she doesn't make any other height she will finish 4th, if she makes another height she will win. It's edge of the seat time (of course I'm only guessing it is, because I only know about it by hitting refresh on the web page - Channel 7 wouldn't know it's even on - guess now that Tatiana Grigorieva is doing good work on Gladiators, the pole vault no longer rates...)
11:41pm: Jelimo wins the 800m in a cakewalk. She went out hard, and kicked hard with a lap to go. It wasn't even a race. The 800m are usually hustle and bustle affairs, but Jelimo doesn't bother with all of that, she ran tonight like Jepkosgei (who came second tonight) did last year in the world championships - she takes the lead and sees if anyone can keep up - they can't.
Oh and by the way, Isinbaeva cleared 4.85m; Stuczynski passed at that height, and then missed at 4.90m so Isinbaeva wins. What drama, what excitement... refreshing that page just felt like I was at the stadium. Oh well. you can't have everything, and at least they showed the 2 track finals live.

Diane Marshall had just finished paying tribute to her late son Tuesday afternoon when a tossed match caused her Upper Marlboro home to erupt in flames.
Marshall lived in the 3700 block of Endsley Place with her husband, George, her daughter Erica and Erica's 7-year-old son Barron.
The family had just paid tribute by lighting candles for Diane's late son Raymond. Diane blew out a match, put it in a trash can and walked outside to take her medicine. The match was not fully blown out and her home erupted in flames.
Approximately 45 firefighters responded to the fire, but the home was a total loss, leaving Diane and her family with a new feeling of grief. Luckily, no one was injured.
"It's just so hard to believe this happened to me," Diane said. "I'm blessed I still have my family."
If you would like to help the Marshall family, donations are being accepted at Beacon Light SDA Church, 1943 Drew Street in Annapolis; (443)333-9872.

There was good news this month for e-book publishers with the release of Apple's new iOS 8 operating system. See the announcement from Huff Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-coker/apples-new-ios-8-ebooks_b_5439691.html
What was it? Well, the iBooks app will come already installed and ready to buy ebooks with iOS 8, making it not only convenient, but also much easier for readers to get the latest ebook titles. Since Apple is now the world's second largest e-book store (Amazon, of course, is the biggest), this is significant.
And better yet, anyone owning an existing Apple touch device can get a free upgrade to the new iOS 8–making it easy for nearly a billion users to find, buy, and download your ebooks.
My latest YouTube video gives you five more FAQS that show why it's important to get your books released in e-book formats.

Andy Robinson tweaks side for England with call ups for Lee Jones and David Denton
Eight changes from their last outing sounds like a revolution, a single new cap more like the slow creep of evolution, but the reality of Andy Robinson's first Scotland team selection of the year and the first since their World Cup failure, is that it is neither.
What has happened is that the Scotland head coach has tweaked some areas, has reacted to injuries and retirements and has tried to freshen up some parts of the team in that seemingly eternal search for the tries needed to transform the side from plucky losers into a unit that achieves things.
The eight changes for their opening RBS Six Nations Championship game against England at Murrayfield on Saturday fall neatly into two camps. Four were enforced, four

These images (courtesy of photographer, Ditte Isager) definitely induce weakness of the knees. This is the kind of world I attempt to immerse myself in - soothing hues of indigo, petrol blue-gray, quartz and sand - guaranteed to coddle the most jaded of souls. In a palette typical of Farrow & Ball - Elephant's Breath meets Mouse's Back with Hague Blue thrown in for good measure...

Be nice to others 🙂
LSD, the feared drug – Ross Ulbricht (Silkroad), prison for life
People find themselves from LSD almost daily; the sellers of LSD go to jail for life
I respect what Ross Ulbricht didn't/did do, Silkroad was the work of a hero not a criminal.Opposing the state is never accepted.
It has changed the lives of many people. There is a reason for this> freedom of choice.
We live in a state&world where we got very little choices / freedom in own house and of own body.
Some of the things that were sold on Silkroad were of divine help to many people, and it wasn't just about drugs either, it was a market place.
No words can describe.. infinite love every day since, found my true self due to SR, might not had otherwise, had lost my soul for 16 years almost fully
Some drugs can be good and can heal the psyche, like LSD it will let us know just how much we are as human beings
No words can describe, truly the most humbling experience in my life and every day since
I have since come to find out many people have taken LSD:
Richard Feynmann (famous nobel price physicist)
Steve Jobs
Timothy Leary
Ram Dass (spiritual guru)
Deepak Chopra (spiritual guru)
and many more
Very very humbling, it opened my eyes, I can never view the world the same as before
A very good thing, I would recommend LSD to anybody feeling sad/depressed – as long as they are not the type of person being afraid / with lots of problems in life
If you feel in control of your mind it can help you like it did to me
I feel like a child again, the world is a miracle, nature is a miracle each day since
Divine love each day for 3 years now, every day.
Respect to the sellers of LSD on Silkroad
for selling a drug that can give life in prison, for a greater purpose
for a cheap price
to help people, because it was sold to help not to destroy
A picture of what LSD looks like (taken from google images, not mine)
[ Click for larger picture ]
Seems clearly other people are inspired to print buddhist pictures / meditating monks on the LSD. It has changed many lives for the better.
Have since come to find out that my rebirth experience with LSD is not unique, has happened to many people. Truly a divine molecule here to help mankind.
I don't believe it was an accident that Albert Hofmann invented it either, must have been God/divine help helping him to create it.
Miracles happen in weird ways, LSD truly was one of the biggest miracles in my life.
Other miracles are feeling god every day since in my life, seeing every living creature and nature as sacred again, and my own body as sacred and divine now.
Being so inspired I feel I have to help others, not by giving them LSD, but by helping them to overcome their negative thoughts, to remember themselves, the perfect soul they really are!
We are all one
All one of the divine creator
All of the same source, infinite timeless eternal love
We must live this truth, LSD taught me this. Accept and appreciate.
My best lucid dreaming method (works 8/10 times!)
PRE-REQS: dream journal beside the bed/laptop to write down as soon as you wake up
you should write down BEFORE you open your eyes or in same second as opening your eyes
or the dream is gone!!
The dream disappears within 5 seconds from waking up
It is very important to have dream journal if you want to LD, you should remember at least 1 dream every night every week.
When you can do that your chances for a LD will be 10x higher, probably 10x more LDs than usual!!
1. binaural beats (if there is not 100% silent in the room where you sleep)
2. lay on back always, LDs don't work when sleeping on the side
3. lay still and let body fall asleep while you focus on a point in the room, don't move
4. try to feel a leg after maybe 10mins (in your mind, move it 1mm in the mind/physical very carefully), whole body gets heavy and falls asleep
5. you can feel legs and hands being paralyzed, you can hardly move them, very heavy
=> you are very close to a LD
6. strange sounds can happen, you are now on the boder of a LD
strange scenes in your head can happen, i.e. you walking around somewhere, let you float with the scenery
this is how I do everytime, works very good for me
Do dream recall frequently too, read from your dream journal every week
try to recognize patterns, write them down, see what they have in common
makes it easier to LD in the future
That it takes easily 30-45mins to reach a LD in this way
It is important for me to realize this, if I know this I give myself good time!
Then it almost always happens … takes 45mins laying on back to get into a LD
The best Lucid Dreaming aid
Is not B-vitamins, tried that many times
Is not Salvia divinorum
Is not Ilex Guayusa
Is not Dreamherb
but is not putting anything in your body
and also binaural beats if you are having bad luck, they really help and make mine much clearer
get 5x more success with those
fasting always helps too! makes you closer to spirit
Theta binaural beats @ youtube:
I have had success maybe 5-10 times with this one, flew through the roof and saw my building from outside, flew over the small roads with people beneath, flew all around the city and country and visited people I knew, met other people who flied in the air too (my bro)
so really increased lucidity
I never had any luck with b-vitamins not even in high doses… or bananas that many recommend.
Natural is best. Also tried all lucid herbs mentioned above without luck (except for Salvia, gave me 3 LDs in 3 night – too much, and too wild dreams… not very controlable I think was thrown from one dream to another)
How interdimensional parasites feed off our negative energy (the reptilians)
Some call them the reptilians, the following is my experience.
They feed off our negative emotions
They brain wash us with tv and commercials
They take over our bodies when we are asleep
They can actually possess a human if the human fears them, and the human will lose his/her soul and be trapped on earth, for generations
I lost my soul for 16 years after a sleep paralysis experience (google sleep paralysis, 100% the thing that occurred to me, same demon figure)
People all over the world have experienced it through time (called the succubus,incubus – devil winged creatures trying to sit on you and possess your soul)
I had mine when I was 12 years old, still remember it like 1 hour ago 20 years later!
So it had a huge impact on my life, never was the same after it.
But after my awakening I became a new person and found my soul, all fear left.
Love is stronger than fear, there cannot be fear with an opened heart.
Be love.
Inform your friends that if they think negatively and treat others people badly that they might be possessed – that's where the negative energy comes from
It is natural to be happy, that is our base state, joyful state of being, everything is a miracle every living creature and nature and all we see.
If everything is shit, we are usually possed, or brainwashed from tv/radio , or both!!
Watch out,
Dont watch tv
dont listen to the radio
Make your own food so you don't destroy your body like I did (I ate pizza everyday for 10 years due to being possessed and having lost my soul)

Signs of being demon possessed:
careless about own body and others
hating own body / and others
negative thoughts
thoughts of self harm
hurting own body feels good, is funny
listening to dark depressing music like death metal, metal etc.
fewer friends , people don't want to be around you, people feel 'afraid' around you
self harm – with food, drugs, overworking or similar, or cigarettes too
overactive sexuality , only thinking about sex/living for sex
never loves! , never gives to others – never joyful , at best is sarchastic and hateful to others – prideful likes to be better than others
those are some of the usual signs, a really possessed person will have ALL of the signs
the christians weren't wrong with the bible, demons are pretty real, you can only stop them by living very carefully or they may show up in your life, or in the life of everyone you know if you don't warn them.
I have seen then in the lives of almost everyone I know.
Crystals and houseplants , love everyday
Wanting to know -everything- in the universe is our ego
don't seek for knowledge outside yourself, only for fun
our wantings are what possess us.
imagine a world where all humans could be free, where humans nature and animals are equal
accept gods love
live for the love
spread the love

love and light / namaste,
my story
My shaman journey, 2012
It all started with a rebirth experience after I had gotten terribly ill, the worst sick in my life
I felt a disconnection from my body , and like being reborn
since that day I feel love for myself and everything I see
before that I felt hate for myself and didn't accept everything, not necessarily hate for others – but I didn't accept myself
I just hated myself for many years, completely careless, tried to destroy my body
after that rebirth experience that night, synchronicity increased intensely
started meeting 5 people a day who had stuff to tell me, out of nowhere
they would literally knock on my door, call me, write me on facebook, if I went outside the door 3-5 people would come up to
me and ask direction or talk about the weather etc.
then I started getting information from my spirit animals somehow
I had a few budgies, and they were tame
it seems I kept receiving healing messages from both spirit animals and my ancestors in my trance sessions
each session healed both myself and people around me
and I tried my best to spread what I learned and learn from each session
one session I apparently hadn't done my preparations
I was meeting several ancestor spirits and they seemed angry, felt like they entered my body
and felt intense pain for many hours, kept laying down and almost screaming in pain
they told me to "respect the anscestors" – that was the message I got, confused me quite a bit
I didn't know what that mean, or that I was performing spirit communication in my sessions
I thought the messages I was receiving was from my higher self.
But now it all made sense, most sessions I have had I started seeing the eyes everywhere, then messages that applied
as good to me as to other people
messages that healed my soul everytime and helped me heal others next days most times, spread the love I received
not this time, I felt pain in the session and a little bit drained
I researched this time as I didn't know what had happened, usually I felt connected to good spirits of some kind , several
presences and full energy next day, like being reborn – meet new people, out in nature etc.
apparently native americans and other traditions, african tribes, shamans etc. have ceremonies to respect their ancestor
when we go into trance we enter into the dimensions of the dead
we bring back healing messages, heal our own soul, to bring that love to others, in the name of the anscestors and the holy
apparently I hadn't been doing my preparations too well
I was sick and just wanted a relief from the sickness, and my anscestors taught me that is a bad way of communication
they basically entered my body it seemed and gave me intense pain the whole session
when session was over I felt quite a bit drained, but still learned valuable lessons
the best ways of performing ceremonies for me:
– walk and sit in nature regularly
– psytrance / trance music
– pray regularly
– spirit animals (mine seems to be budgies – it is like I understand them somehow and like I receive messages from them
– crystals , grounds
– help others, spread the love – and remember that what you are spreading is not your own, it is the love of the holy spirit
/ anscestors
– eat healthy
– be aware of all times, of synchronicites – often your spirit animal will meet you in nature
when performing trance sessions:
– have an intent, or help others before donig it, so you are grounded and have learned from previous sessions
– remember to ground and protect yourself
(visualize clear light suddrounding you – holy spirit, visualize connection to the ground)
– offer to the ancestors (show them respect, they are you and trying to help you)
– call on anscestors , ask them what they want
I have seen everyone around me change completely, after healing myself
and everyone I meet in strange ways and become friend with apparently are also into divination or are aware of the soul-body
no coincidences.
I feel like a new person every day, like a child again, 1996-2012, suddenly I feel like my normal self
felt possessed somehow for many years
it all started with a demonic sleep paralysis, I hadn't felt like myself for years since that, only after my awakening
lost the love for myself and everything I saw that day, became careless about myself
but when I found myself and remembered who I was it all reversed.
seems lucid dreaming has access to the spirit realm too..
it is a good idea to remember that no demons can cause you any harm if you don't fear
only if you fear.
go straight for them, look them into their eyes, them they will try to get away.
I don't like sharing this story with most people, as shamanism is not accepted in this culture
but I am aware that anything I have mentioned here others have experienced in other cultures now, but I wasn't at first, it
was strange at first, thought I was going crazy (but at the same time I had the best clarity of thought I have ever had,
noticed everything).
my shamanic awakening started when I realized that most illnesses start in the soul
and everything is a reflection of your inner state of being (soul)
I am not a full shaman, but I try to spread the love I receive in sessions to people around me and reconnect to the earth.
I have had very intense health issues for almost 2 years, my awakening started a few months into it, and I become the
opposite person of before almost, but same person as always (inner being never changes).
I now try to respect the ancestors in every session , I did in most other sessions
I usually never tripped to know it all, I tripped for the love and to bring the love back with me.
I am now aware of the spirit world it seems, that I am a soul in a body just like everyone else here on earth, and that there
is a spriit world with old souls that try to communicate with you, but only if you treat then with respect
you meet the soul which meets your frequency, so if you do help others etc. you meet loving spirits, if you abuse stuff you
meet abusive spirits.
Always do your prepations, and learn from each session.
Remember that if you do work, you possibly change the whole universe, so only work for the highest good, to heal, to bring back healing, to respect the ancestor relationship.
I usually pray to the holy spirit to heal through me and protect me.
My Old self
Used to eat pizzas every day for 12 years, often 2-3 times a day
smoked cigarettes and marijuana daily, in huge amounts
careless about myself, only eating, doing schoolwork and sleeping was my life for many years
complete opposite person now, seems that if you don't live as your thoughts, there is only one way you can live

Expert essay writing help
Alright, so we have all been in a place where we just felt like giving up. Whether this has been at work, at home, at school, or during volunteer work, we all know what it feels like. It is not a good feeling and sometimes it drives us to look at options which we would not have considered in the past.
Every college student is always running out of time to complete their tasks and maintain a social balance in their lives. After all, college is about the experience, not just about the classes and the part time job at the dining hall.
Most people have considered this as a viable option to stay afloat academically and still have time to socialize and volunteer with different clubs and organizations. The strain of academics can be particularly hard on student athletes and student leaders because they have such high time commitments to other areas of their lives.
Considering this as an option does not necessarily mean that you cannot handle what is on your plate, it just means that the stress has been getting to you and you are looking to other sources as a way to get out of a tough situation. Buying a term paper may yield some positive results for you, but it may also have some negative consequences. Of course, you always will run the risk of getting caught in a situation where you will be accused of academic dishonesty or plagiarism. This is a big risk because you could end up failing the assignment or, in extreme cases, you may end up being kicked out of school all together. Still, this may be an option for you depending on the situation that you are in. Only you can make this decision.
A custom term paper claims to be unique and plagiarism free, but there is not really any way for you to guarantee this beforehand. So, this basically means that you will be forking over your hard-earned cash without knowing what type of product you will be receiving in return.
