Gallery Fashion Fix - Spring 2014
Check out who's clinched the award for our favourite fashion moment of the day!
Heart catches up with the CEO of Psycle - the new craze sweeping the Capital!
What is Psycle?
Psycle is a high intensity, low impact head to toe workout on a bike, led by passionate and charismatic instructors. Our classes are time efficient, effective and enjoyable.
Each class is set to a carefully chosen playlist, with all of the pedal speeds, efforts and movements driven by the beat and rhythm of the music.
The physical environment is contemporary London, and the amenities carefully chosen from the fluffy towels to the Bumble and Bumble hair products. Psycle also has a strong emphasis on wellbeing.
Our in-house nutritionist Rhian Stephenson offers pre and post nutritional tips and has collaborated with Detox Kitchen to make protein pots and healthy energising snacks, and cold pressed organic juices from Purearth.
What is Psycle's philosophy?
We believe that your state of mind is crucial to how hard and how often you exercise. At Psycle we do everything we can to put the customer in the right frame of mind before and after the class.
This ranges from the simple on-line booking, through to the feel of the studios when you arrive, to the music played during the class build up, through to the likeable energy and charisma of the instructors.
How did you start Psycle?
By finding the right idea, then the right people, then the right site.
What are Psycle's aims?
To make people think differently about exercise. It can be a sociable as well as enjoyable experience.
What's different about Psycle to other work outs, for example a normal bike sessions or spinning?
The first part is the fact that it is a total body workout. We provide cleated shoes, which mean you engage your hamstrings and glutes as well as your thighs so you develop toned, lean legs.
The specialist shoes also mean you can spend a decent amount of time out of the saddle riding at high tempo - this engages you glutes, core and upper body.
Finally through the use of upper body weights and some of the movements we do on the bike this completes the total body workout, that is highly effective and time efficient.
From an experiential point of view the vibe is more Ibiza than Tour de France. You can really get lost in the music whilst working out. The time goes quickly and you will work harder than you thought possible.
Is it more focus on weight loss or toning and is it accessible for everyone or just the super fit?
Toning and weight loss are two sides of the same coin. Gaining lean muscle mass increases your metabolism long after you've finished working out.
One of the beauties of spin bikes is that an athlete can be training next to a novice and each person can adjust their resistance to suit their level of fitness - so it's definitely for everyone.
How can Psycle fit into your wider lifestyle choices? What wider tips can you offer our audience for general life improvement?
Rhian, our Wellness Director, likes to talk about crowding out bad habits with good ones. For example swap a date in a bar with a friend to a Psycle "date", or swap a post workout carb loaded breakfast with a protein filled breakfast pot. Fill your life with enjoyable stuff that's good for you.

|For UK readers of a certain age...
Regular readers will know I played Dark Age of Camelot for several years. There still hasn't been an MMO quite like it, mainly due to the innovative Realm-versus-Realm PvP game that comprised the endgame and the server community that arose due to the never-ending conflict.
So, when Mark Jacobs, co-founder of Mythic Entertainment and the guy behind Dark Age of Camelot announced the formation of City State Entertainment and the new Camelot Unchained project I was immediately intrigued. The more I heard about the game the more interesting it sounded, and this weeks announcement about the housing system was just the nudge I needed to move from interested observer to project backer.
But what is Camelot Unchained, and why should you consider backing it too? Here's a quick summary of some of the major game features.
Camelot Unchained (just a working title) is not a remake of Dark Age of Camelot, but rather a re-imagining that is entirely focused on the RvR aspect. Whilst there is PvE content, you have to progress through RvR action. If PvP isn't your thing then the game probably isn't for you, but if it is there are plenty of reasons to take notice.
First of all the game will use the three realm system pioneered by DAoC. This system has not been bettered since the original game. Guild Wars 2 had a go at mimicking it, but ultimately fell far short. The whole game is based around this central conceit, and even the game engine has been specifically developed to deal with up to 500 players battling it out on screen at once.
|This amazing video shows the potential of the Unchained engine
The video above shows an early alpha version of the engine (placeholder scenery and animations), but it is running at over 100fps with 1000 unique characters on screen on a 2011 Macbook. Each character has over 12,000 polygons (there is no LOD in game yet, so even the tiny characters at the back contain all 12,000 polys). That alone is impressive. Later vids in the series show the demo running with full particle effects as well.
Camelot Unchained is based on the same legends and lore that informed DAoC, with some twists. The progression system will be a horizontal one, meaning you can get involved in the action straight away, hopefully avoiding some of the pitfalls of traditional MMO PvP combat with regards to newbie ganking. There will be no instanced areas in the game.
The words Darkness Falls will hold a special significance for those who played Dark Age of Camelot. It was a huge, multi-realm RvR dungeon and it saw some of the most epic battles in the game. CU will have its own version called The Depths. This time however the dungeon itself will change based on the random nature of the Veil Storms and the actions of the players. The best mining materials will be found in the darkest reaches of The Depths, encouraging the realms to fight for these valuable resources. Just the fact that there will be a Darkness Falls style dungeon is enough to get me excited about the game.
The crafting and housing system for CU sounds incredible. Influenced by Minecraft it will require realms to fight for control of mines (these mines are large, persistent areas to be fought over by many players) in order to harvest materials for building. The materials can be used to build cells, which can then be combined to create just about any type of structure (much like in Minecraft). As the developer says, "don't think of it as housing, perhaps a better word is building".
Whats more, structures and prefabs can have blueprints made, which means they can be copied, sold, rented and so on. It also means if an enemy realm leads a raid into your territory and destroys (or deconstructs) your house you can build it again using the blueprints. Blueprints may also be found out in the world as well.
Tie those central ideas (tri-realm RvR, The Depths, a detailed and flexible mining and building system), and add other innovative ideas in the game (control the big bad RvR NPCs in The Depths, use of supply routes in the battlegrounds, siege warfare, able to hire NPC guards to help protect your structures, player run taverns, realm wide approval systems, no auction house (yay! I've been wanting this for ages!), guild emblems, guild houses, guild lands, etc, etc) and backing CU became a bit of a no-brainer for me.
There were two other things that finally clinched it and persuaded me to part with my cash.
First the philosphy of the developers behind the game. CSE have released a series of blogs detailing the foundational principles behind the game systems and the way they want the game to be run. Then there is the list of 11 promises they are making to the players that I believe show they understand what players want from their game providers. Add that to their commitment to roleplay communities (they are in favour of a strictly enforced RP server if there is enough demand), and the vision for the game matches closely with what I want to see.
The final reason that I was persuaded to pledge some cash to the Kickstarter is that it is now looking possible that the game will not reach its Kickstarter target. If that happens it means no game. Right now they have $1,350,000 pledged of the $2,000,000 they need, and the Kickstarter closes on 2nd May, i.e. in only eight days time.
Backing a project like this on Kickstarter is always a risk (but only if it succeeds - if it fails to meet its target no money is taken). However I would encourage you to spend a little time reading the posts and watching the videos on the official Camelot Unchained site. Then have a look at this excellent FAQ about the game.
CU will always be a niche, specialised game. CSE know that. I believe it's a game that deserves to be given a chance. There are so many great and exciting ideas for an MMO that will truly be different that it is more than worth a little risk.
If you think the same then please head on over to the official Kickstarter page and help out.

The Texans confirmed Monday what QB Matt Leinart believed a day earlier: He has a broken collarbone, and it is season-ending.
Despite speculation about who the team might bring in to pad a suddenly thin quarterback depth chart, coach Gary Kubiak said rookie T.J. Yates will start Sunday for the AFC South leaders as they host the Falcons; recently signed Kellen Clemens is the backup.
Yates made his NFL debut yesterday and completed eight of 15 passes for 70 yards against a depleted Jaguars defense as Houston hung on for a 20-13 win.
The Texans (8-3) have a two-game divisional lead on the Titans and continue a bid for their first-ever playoff appearance despite losing Leinart, No. 1 QB Matt Schaub and OLB Mario Williams while being without WR Andre Johnson and RB Arian Foster for stretches of the season.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a pending asylum case before a judge as a defense for deportation. When DACA was announced in the summer, I found out that I was eligible for it. I already applied for DACA. Is there a way to remove my asylum case, i.e. can I let the judge know that I no longer want to use asylum as a defense, and can it be done before my next master hearing court date?
You can request that your next master calendar date be expedited. Then you can withdraw your asylum application since you have already applied for DADA.
(213) 394-4554 x0 Mr. Shusterman is a former INS Trial Attorney (1976-82) with over 35 years of immigration experience. His response to your question is general in nature, as not all the facts are known to him. You should retain an attorney experienced in immigration law to review all the facts in your case in order to receive advice specific to your case. Mr. Shusterman's statement above does not create an attorney/client relationship.Ask a similar question
Can I withdraw my asylum application before the master calender date?
You may withdraw your asylum case at your next master calendar date, however, I would recommend waiting for your DACA decision first.
Contact attorney Gintare Grigaite, Esq. at 646-407-2331, located in New York and New Jersey. Answers on AVVO do not constitute legal advice and do not form attorney-client relationship. Always consult an attorney for a legal advice.Ask a similar question
My next calender date is in less than a month and I don't expect a decision by then. What happens if I withdraw the asylum before the DACA decision comes. Does the judge put me on immediate deportation?
No, it is ok to ask for an adjournment to await for a decision on DACA. However, I would not recommend withdrawing your asylum case. Remember, if you have basis for it and are granted asylum, you will eventually be eligible for adjustment of status, while DACA does not grant any legal status. So, consult with your attorney on this.
I agree with my collegue. I would add that you should wait for a decision on your matter before withdraw your asylum petition. Also, your removal hearing may be administratively closed if your DACA is granted.Ask a similar question
I hope you are represented by an attorney in your removal proceedings. DACA is wonderful and you should wait for approval, but your should analyze your chances for asylum - if in fact you do have a credible claim, after asylum is granted, you get to apply for a green card (and unfortunately you do not yet have this chance to do so with DACA). if you don't want to do so, you can certainly withdraw your asylum application and ask that removal proceedings be terminated since your DACA application was approved.
This is not legal advice and a client attorney relationship is not created. For a free consultation call (718)234-5588.Ask a similar question
My next calender date is in less than a month and I don't expect a decision by then. What happens if I withdraw the asylum before the DACA decision comes. Does the judge put me on immediate deportation? And the asylum case is not winnable. It was just used to delay deportation.
I see. Discuss this with your attorney. Let the judge know that you have applied for DACA and provide I-797 receipt notice, hopefully OCC with agree to terminate your proceedings. Good luck!
I agree with the other attorneys., I only wish to add you really should have an attorney doing this for you. There is not much wiggle room for inexperience in the immigration courts. My firm handles deportation defense in NY.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The St. Francis softball team played three controlled scrimmages Saturday in preparation for the start of the regular season in two weeks.
"My philosophy is to build a very strong defensive team with good pitching," said Co-Head Coach Al LaGiudice. "To me that is what wins championships. But we still need to hit the ball to win ball games. I have put in the defense over the last couple weeks. After today I realized it time to switch gears and work on our offense."
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – St. Francis softball tryouts start Monday, Feb. 10 for both varsity and JV players. They will take place on the varsity field on M Street from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. All students are welcome to tryout.

A Myhr'an incubation chamber is a type of chamber employed by the M'Tar to create Myhr'an clones.
Aboard the Myhr'an super battle cruiser in 2372, several Myhr'an incubation chambers of varying sizes stood one atop the other over the space of three decks, numbering twenty columns in each area. USS Cantabrian first officer Elizabeth Singh surmised they operated by creating the clone in the top chamber (at a mere quarter of a meter), and, as the clone grew via incubation, it would slide further down the system. When the clone was fully grown, it would depart the bottom-most chamber (at deck-level, two-and-a-half meters tall).
Singh ordered Benjamin Caldwell to eject the incubation chambers into space: a move Daniel Radke strongly disagreed with. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Catalyst, Part Two")

Ich danke auch für die unkomplizierte Schlüsselübergabe zu einem frühen Zeitpunkt, der durch den gedrängten Zeitplan meines Aufenthalts notwendig wurde.

Still Waiting For The Church Mea CulpaMay 15, 2002 | The Age
Sorry is not the hardest word. It can be uttered, and leave much still unsaid. The expression that goes all the way is "my fault". It accepts responsibility as well as guilt, has a moral and legal dimension, and - by the way - is a measure of maturity. By acknowledging fault and frailty, it describes the human condition.
All of which, you might think, would make it appealing to the Catholic Church, which, after all, has its roots in courageous confession. But just as government ministers and corporations now routinely refuse to utter the magic words - mea culpa - the church hierarchy in Australia is denying responsibility for its sex abuse scandal.
We have had expressions of sympathy from prelates, but no admissions of fault. The church is clearly concerned about revelations its clergy sexually abused children, often over a long period. But it insists the blame lies with flawed individuals, not a flawed system. The strategy is to talk of a "few bad apples" and portray abuse as an artefact of a past, less open and informed, era.
While it is true only a minority of priests and brothers are sexual abusers, it is not true - at least in some orders - that this minority is tiny, or limited in impact. In some orders, such as the St John of God Brothers, abuse appears to have been common almost from their arrival in Australia. After legal action, 16 victims of the order are expected to get payouts, but not a public admission of betrayal from the church which took them into orphanages as intellectually disabled boys.
The St John of God case, and those of other orders and parishes, raises questions not just about deviant individuals, but the system that sponsors, supports and, in some cases, hid their criminal behaviour. The Melbourne archdiocese, like others around Australia and overseas, knew of priests who were paedophiles, yet kept them on - where they continued to abuse.
This is explained by claiming ignorance or memory loss. Melbourne's former archbishop, Sir Frank Little, says he has no memory of being told Father Billy Baker was abusing a schoolboy in 1978. Baker was shifted not sacked after Little was warned about him. The priest went on to assault at least one other boy before being jailed in 1999.
This and other similar cases suggest institutional as well as individual fault. Is there something in the system that allows paedophiles to persist, or protects them when they are identified? The church's claim that abuse is a thing of the past, and arose out of a time when we knew less about paedophilia, does not face the fact that sex with children has always been a criminal offence, as well as, obviously, off-limits for celibate clergy.
How could a Christian leader fail to confront illegality, let alone assaults which defiled the essence of his faith?
Two possibilities come to mind. A church leader may cover up for a paedophile priest because he wants to protect the institution, or because he sees sex abuse as marginal and opts to "forgive" the perpetrator. Either way, systematic failure is implied. The church certainly seemed to think, at least in the past, that prayer was a way to erase paedophilia, which it is not.
In his defence of the church ("Is anti-Catholicism the new anti-Semitism?", on this page last Thursday), Father Ephraem Chifley claims the hierarchy has, for the most part, dealt with sex abuse, and is learning from its mistakes. "All Australian dioceses now have protocols for dealing with incidents as they arise," he writes.
This overlooks two points. First, more than compensation, which is essentially what the protocols offer, victims want bishops to take responsibility for knowingly betraying them. "Damien", 42, one of the many victims of the late Father Kevin O'Donnell, pleaded for an apology from the man in charge at time of his abuse, Little, but heard nothing.
Second, the protocols are as much about shielding the church from court action as they are about the plight of victims. Melbourne's so-called Pell Process has capped compensation at $55,000, which is much less than would be obtained in a civil case. It is also below the up-to-$300,000 paid to victims outside the Melbourne archdiocese. By the time the 120 victims so far acknowledged by the archdiocese pay lawyers, they are left with little from the average $28,000 payout, and are constrained to remain silent by a gag clause in the agreement.
Chifley, a Catholic priest in Adelaide, blames blind prejudice for the focus on the church, citing "predictable cheap shots about frocks and altar boys". In Melbourne, these are real and serious. Former Melbourne archbishop Pell had around him at St Patricks a group of clergy known as the ''Spice Girls" for their love of dressing up and incense. Separately, many paedophile priests targeted altar boys and regularly sexually abused them in sacred church sites. The sacrilege of such acts seems to be part of the paedophilia, which involves a perverse form of sexual gratification. The condition has its origins in childhood, so Chifley and the church are right to claim celibacy does not create paedophiles. But it may attract them. Some psychologists believe paedophiles are drawn to celibacy as a misguided way to control their urges.
The wish to be celibate may be a defence against perversion. If it is, it does not work. Paedophilia does not appear to be reversible, nor does celibacy appear to be practical. US expert Richard Sipe estimates about 2 per cent of those vowed to celibacy (which also prohibits masturbation) achieve it. The practice, imposed, at least in part, to protect church property, is honoured, it would seem, more in the breach than in the observance.
But to admit this would imply a bigger mea culpa than the church has so far been able to contemplate.

Snowden says he was more than a low-level hacker
In his first American network television interview, fugitive National Security leaker Edward Snowden tells NBC News he was not the low-level analyst the Obama Administration portrayed him to be.
He says he was trained as a spy and worked undercover overseas.
"Were you trained as a spy?" Williams asked. "It seems to me spies probably look a lot more like Ed Snowden and a lot less like James Bond these days?"
"Well, it's no secret that the U.S. tends to get more and better intelligence out of computers nowadays than they do out of people," Snowden replied. "I was trained as a spy in sort of the traditional sense of the word in that I lived and worked undercover overseas - pretending to work in a job that I'm not - and even being assigned a name that was not mine.
"Now, the government might deny these things, they might frame it in certain ways and say, 'Oh well, you know, he's...he's a low level analyst. But what they're trying to do is they're trying to use one position that I've had in a career here or there to distract from the totality of my experience, which is that I've worked for the Central Intelligence Agency undercover overseas, I've worked for the National Security Agency undercover overseas and I've worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency as a lecturer at the Joint Counterintelligence Training Academy, where I developed sources and methods for keeping our information and people secure in the most hostile and dangerous environments around the world," he continued. "So when they say I'm a low level systems administrator, that I don't know what I'm talking about, I'd say it's somewhat misleading."
He's not the "hacker" President Barack Obama and members of Congress dismissed last June.
"No, I'm not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker."
"I hope we do not decide that our national security interests are going to be determined by a high school dropout who had a whole series of academic and employment troubles," said Rep. Mike Rogers of the House Intelligence Committee.
But even his harshest critics acknowledge Snowden is smart and knew how to exploit the system.
"The most massive and most damaging theft of intelligence information in our history by Edward Snowden," said Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

Michael Leiter is an NBC News analyst and serves on an NSA advisory panel.
"The government is still working through to understand exactly what Edward Snowden got. They know what he had access to, but understanding exactly what he downloaded and exactly what he has, when you are talking about millions of documents, is a very significant task," Leiter said.
Williams' exclusive interview with Snowden airs Wednesday night at 10:00 on Channel 13.
