Warwick Michael Dumas replied to Warwick Michael Dumas's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingSure here are the arguments HRESULT surfacegraph::Initialise(int nperRow, // data points per row if square grid data to be supplied int left, int top, int width, int height, float fscale, D3DXVECTOR3 in_Eye, bool Polar = 0, int number_in_outermost = 0, // data points in outermost circle if radially distributed data int number_circles = 0, // number of circles if radially distributed data float radius_outermost = 0.0f // max radius if radially distributed data ) The viewport coordinates are left,top,width,height. (And it's not radially distributed data). The calls to Initialise are in the top code box above. So yes, they are a bit overlapping. I think that should be OK though... the rendering of each object is meant to be independent.
Warwick Michael Dumas posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi. N00b here. I wrote a class to create a graph of a surface and this class includes a shadow map. With one object it works fine. With multiple objects, strange things are happening. See picture - for all six objects the same calls are made, only the viewport coordinates are different. Only one of them displays the shadow correctly. The rendering sequence of the objects makes a difference to the behaviour, so it seems to me it is a problem with the way the shadow maps get initialised. For the attached picture, this was the way the objects were treated: surfacegraph Graph3, Graph4, Graph2, Graph5, Graph6,Graph; ..... Graph.Initialise(perRow,0,0,600,520,nscale,Eye); Graph2.Initialise(perRow,0,525,600,520,nscale,Eye); Graph3.Initialise(perRow,580,0,480,520,nscale,Eye); Graph4.Initialise(perRow,580,525,480,520,nscale,Eye); Graph5.Initialise(perRow,1050,0,600,520,nscale,Eye); Graph6.Initialise(perRow,1050,525,600,520,nscale,Eye); ..... Graph2.Render(); // the rendering sequence appears to make a big difference Graph4.Render(); // to the shadow maps that result Graph6.Render(); Graph.Render(); Graph3.Render(); Graph5.Render(); This creates the picture where Graph2 displays correctly, Graph displays with no shadow and all the rest display completely in shadow. However I don't see why the objects are affecting each others' shadow maps. This is some of the class definition: class surfacegraph { public: static const int SHADOWMAPRESOLUTION = 4096; int perRow; int texWidth,texHeight; int numVertices, numTriangles; IDirect3DVertexBuffer9* TerrainVertexBuffer; IDirect3DIndexBuffer9* TerrainIndexBuffer; IDirect3DTexture9* texture_grid; D3DVIEWPORT9 vp; D3DVIEWPORT9 shadow_vp; ID3DXEffect* mFX; D3DXMATRIXA16 matView; D3DXMATRIXA16 matProj; DirLight mLight; Mtrl mWhiteMtrl; D3DXVECTOR3 Eye; // eye position // for shadow map: IDirect3DSurface9* pSurface; // never gets used for anything though - not sure why this was here D3DXMATRIX mLightVP; DrawableTex2D* mShadowMap; D3DXHANDLE mhTech; D3DXHANDLE mhWVP; D3DXHANDLE mhTex; D3DXHANDLE mhEyePos; // for specular D3DXHANDLE mhDiffuseMtrl; D3DXHANDLE mhAmbientMtrl; D3DXHANDLE mhLightVector; D3DXHANDLE mhLightDiffuseColour; D3DXHANDLE mhLightAmbientColour; D3DXHANDLE mhLightSpecularColour; D3DXHANDLE mhSpecularMtrl; D3DXHANDLE mhSpecularPower; D3DXHANDLE mhBuildShadowMapTech; D3DXHANDLE mhLightWVP; D3DXHANDLE mhShadowMap; D3DXHANDLE mhSwitch; float xyscale,nscale; surfacegraph(); HRESULT Initialise( parameters ); ... HRESULT SetxzDataAutomatic (float minimum, float maximum, float in_xyscale); HRESULT SetDataFromDoubleScaled(double **, double); HRESULT SetDataAgain(float **); HRESULT SetColourData(float **, float **, float **); VOID surfacegraph::Render(void); ~surfacegraph(); }; The following is the start of the Render method for the class. See code comments. VOID surfacegraph::Render() { .... // DRAW SHADOW MAP: Direct3D.pd3dDevice->SetViewport(&vp); // without this^^^, 5 graphs, all except the last rendered, appear as small shadows on white mShadowMap->beginScene(); //Direct3D.pd3dDevice->SetViewport(&shadow_vp); // completely whites out all but last-to-render graph.

I have tried tinkering with what happens at the start of the Render method but I don't seem to know what I'm doing, the results (as described in the code comments) are hard for me to interpret. Grateful for any suggestions. I am happy to dropbox the whole source if anyone wishes to tinker with it.
Warwick Michael Dumas replied to Warwick Michael Dumas's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingD24S8 did it. Awesomeness. The near value is 1.0f whereas my camera is at e.g. (3.5,5,-6) and the corner of the graph is at (3,,-3). I may well end up entering a formula for the near clipping frame value, because I might yet mess around with the camera position. But with 24-bit z buffer it does work fine anyway. Cheers, Warwick This work helps to bring about focus fusion as a viable energy source. www.focusfusion.org
Warwick Michael Dumas replied to Warwick Michael Dumas's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingOK it definitely is z-fighting because I try SetRenderState( D3DRS_ZFUNC, D3DCMP_LESS ) and different bits go wrong. I made another improvement by moving the far clipping frame from 5000.0f to 12.0f -- thanks for that. It's still not perfect. [img]http://public.gamedev.net//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img] I tried to force a 32 bit depth buffer ... d3dpp.EnableAutoDepthStencil = TRUE; d3dpp.AutoDepthStencilFormat = D3DFMT_D32; ... but CreateDevice then failed. But maybe this is likely to work if I just make it run fullscreen? I'd rather run windowed if I can do, but if needs must. "1. render far outer surface .. 2 render far inner surface ... 3 render near inner surface ... 4 render near outer surface" In general the data is not as simple as here, so I can't predict what areas have a particular depth. "* if you are using a 16 bit depth texture, increase it to 32 or 64 bit depth." It's 32-bit R8G8B8X8. I don't understand why the texture would make a difference though? "* increase the thickness to reduce z-fighting" I can't do it. Seems quite strange that it insists on 16bit although the z coordinates of vertices are float ? I'm sure if I could get it to just stick to 32 bit instead of casting to 16 when it projects, it would be fine. And that seems like it must be the key to it, I don't think 65536 depth values is going to be enough. What happens if I set d3dpp.EnableAutoDepthStencil = FALSE; --I have to manage my own z-buffering? It sounds like too much of a challenge?

Warwick Michael Dumas replied to Warwick Michael Dumas's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThank you both. I had it set to not culling. If I set pd3dDevice->SetRenderState( D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_CW); then nothing happens, the mesh is not rendered If I set pd3dDevice->SetRenderState( D3DRS_CULLMODE, D3DCULL_CCW); then it's a significant improvement: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6773194/testPOLARagain670_CULLCCW.zip I will look into the z-fighting and probably post again...
Warwick Michael Dumas posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHi. I mentioned before my unconventional decision to use DX9 as a rendering platform. I've now all but completed this project but something does not look quite right. I'm drawing a dish which is yellow on the inside with purple outside it; the back of the dish shows a purple stripe, which it should not. I tried it with two different sorts of meshes. One of them is with points arranged in concentric circles and an algorithm that basically sweeps anticlockwise over points on the previous (inner) circle to create triangles for each point on each circle. The other is square mesh with two triangles per square. I always use this square mesh to define the texture dynamically, and it is defined in such a way that radially equal points always get the same colour. I calculate vertex normals in the main program and light the vertices in a vertex shader. I also do shadow mapping in the pixel shader but I'm pretty sure that's nothing to do with the problem. Here are some of my output avi files 'radial' mesh: [url="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6773194/testPOLARagain670.zip"]https://dl.dropbox.c...LARagain670.zip[/url] 'square' mesh: [url="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6773194/testSQUARE_800totalperRow.zip"]https://dl.dropbox.c...totalperRow.zip[/url] Those are both so high resolution that it's likely 1 triangle per pixel or more. That may have something to do with the problem although I don't see why it should do. It probably is best to focus attention on the cutaway animation - the lower one - but see also on the upper one, it can be seen that going upwards, the stripes form a sinusoidal pattern. Here is a somewhat lower resolution mesh. There is some mistexturing probably because the wall of the dish is very thin. 'radial' mesh. [url="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6773194/testPOLARagain50.zip"]https://dl.dropbox.c...OLARagain50.zip[/url] I tried to upload all the code, because I don't know which bit is relevant, but it says 'You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file'. Don't know why text files cause such umbrage but there you go. Anyway maybe looking at this, someone will have some suggestion of what could be going wrong. I've checked that the computed normals all have the same sign for the y-component, and tried inverting them. And I'm certain the texture doesn't have a bizarre purple region. I also can't believe it's meant to look this way with the lighting. I'm at my wits' end, any suggestions appreciated. [img]http://public.gamedev.net//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img]
Warwick Michael Dumas replied to Warwick Michael Dumas's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingThank you v much for responses. I now established that the error was in the eye of the beholder - the two things aren't meant to touch, they are at different y-coordinates. The axes are in the right place. My first query and it was unintentionally a windup. Now I just have to work out how to make text appear at device coordinates instead of screen coordinates.
Warwick Michael Dumas posted a topic in Graphics and GPU Programming[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Hi, first time I have posted here. I am more-or-less a novice with DirectX. I am working on a graphical output for my scientific simulation.

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 got a restraining order.I was wondering how it will affect my criminal record if I get it vacated? Will my restraining order still show up in my criminal record with the new CORI reform?
A restraining order issued against you is civil in nature; only a violation of said order is criminal. As such, restraining orders themselves do not show up on your criminal record (CORI). Restraining orders are recorded in the statewide Domestic Violence Record Keeping System; the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that even though a 209A order was vacated, the defendant could not have the record of the order expunged from the domestic abuse registry. The exception from this rule is when the defendant can show clearly and convincingly that the restraining order was obtained through a "fraud on the court"; in that situation, a judge has the power to expunge the order from the domestic abuse registry.
Best of luck,Ask a similar question
so if a teacher gets an order against them for abuse it wouldnt show on there record? I find that disturbing.

The ankle joint is one of the major weight bearing structures in the body. Since it is so important to our movement, ankle sprains, strains and fractures have been very common. Any of these injuries can be caused by many different things such as falling, running, sudden impact, rolling or landing on it wrongly. Treating initial ankle injuries or issues can help prevent ongoing ankle problems. Injury in these areas can compromise your range of motions such as walking, running and jumping.
The ankle is surrounded by muscles, ligaments and other tissues to support the weight of the body during movements such as walking, running and jumping. Most of the muscles that stabilize and move the ankle are located in the lower leg and attach to the foot. The three bones are held together at the ankle joint by ligaments that allow normal ankle movement.

And sheeny Rose was there to see that cock-eyed Grace didn't come to the wake.
And I made Thompson agree to settle your doctor's bill and expenses with that sheeny.
Of course me an' sheeny Joe knows I'm a liar, but what's a lie or two when you're helpin' out a shipmate?
If you have worked your way through the South at all, maybe you've heard of sheeny John.
Over the rosy skirts of Eos hung a full and heavy robe of swelling grey and black clouds, edged with a fringe of sheeny gold.
With that out came her hatpin, and she made a lunge at sheeny Rose.
He told how the subject of the election was introduced by "a long thin man with a sheeny nose," who had just come in.
Then the sheeny track of light in the water, dancing and rippling.
This wild shore was curtained with various kinds of lichen, a rich web, sheeny with moisture, like some gorgeous hanging of silk.
Between two smirking waxen women in sheeny drapery he saw that which brought him to a pause and set him gazing.

an excellent navigation cheap phone, and life time navigation license also, this is gr8... i am gonna get it and ofcourse i am keeping my lovely N97
WOW! GSM phone with enabled GPS with navigation, Nokia really has something for everybody. I'd say it will be a hit!

Looks great..like its handiness but only problem is an archaic Symbian S40. Why did Nokia do this?

im working in a phone shop pips cum nun stop luking for this phone it must be a gud 1,seriously wht special about it ???
Nice phone, with 3.5 mm jack and 2.2 inches screen and good to have GPS in it. Probably it'll attract nokia lovers as many facilities in small phones
Please correct the TALK time: 12,5 hours
Please include DIGITAL COMPASS for GPS

I am a big Nokia fan and I have used a lot of their devices including the old internet table. I find it really interesting that they are going to give a GPS feature in a low end phone. As competetion grows the quality and everything will improve as well. Why pay 30k or 40k for something when you can get it well under 15k. I am really happy with their decision and support them with each and everyone of their product.
tgm91, 07 Dec 2009WTF ??? Navigation phone on S40 ...? What Navigation ... Google Maps :))) ? Also, the 2.2 scre... moreTotally agree with u tm91, 1st thing for a navigation phone is big screen,second u could put a Flexible OS,with good processor, and with good battery,and lets not forget 3G...we are almost in 2010, and companies still deliver phones with no 3G, or with no bluetooth...
i mean is it still that expensive as a technology to implement?
i really cant understand!!

Japan was first dubbed the Land of the Rising Sun by well-meaning geography teachers who believed that giving each country a nickname would help them get to know each other. Taste the dishes of the day-starting islands with today's Groupon to Kani House. This Groupon is valid at locations in Dawsonville, Buford, Woodstock, Duluth, Dalton, and Cumming. Choose between the following options:
- For $15, you get $35 worth of hibachi-style fare and sushi for dinner.
- For $7, you get $15 worth of hibachi-style fare and sushi for lunch.
Kani House's skilled teppanyaki chefs slice and sizzle savory hibachi items in front of table-seated diners while sushi chefs transform slivers of fresh fish into more than 50 house-specialty rolls. Dinner-time guests can nourish all five senses and provide play-by-play commentary as tableside chefs grill tender beef fillet with fresh-cut pineapple and smother it in a homemade sweet sesame-soy sauce, forging Kani House's signature Hula filet mignon ($23.95). Tongues can sample the fruits of the hibachi grill, including sukiyaki beef stir-fry ($18.95), or call upon lighter lunch selections such as the salmon teriyaki bento box ($9.95) to follow heavy mornings of chewing iron barbells. All six Kani House locations feature chic dining atmospheres and a mixture of modern design elements and classic Asian fixtures.
Kani House
The sound of fire. The igniting exhalation before the steady breath of the flame sustains. The heat pulsing steadily outward from the steel grill—you feel it on your glowing face. But the chef looks cool. He's a master, after all; a flat, metal spatula in one hand and an enormous, sharp knife in the other. Kani House's teppanyaki tables are no strangers to the action of hibachi, where these chefs entertain their guests before plating seared steak and scallops alongside fresh, sautéed vegetables. The steady sushi masters may not share their compatriots' outward exuberance, but their work is just as delicious. From behind their long bar, they assemble maki cylinders with tender cuts of fatty tuna and bright salmon, artfully arranging cuts of more than 50 specialty rolls in the shape of gentle caterpillars or fearsome members of the Japanese Diet. Bright bamboo panels and natural stone add to the vibrant ambiance, surrounding diners with dark-wood and nuanced accents that keep the focus on the beauty of excellent cuisine.

This 1980s necklace by Ben-Amun will have you looking twice. Once, for its eye-catching design and colors. Twice, when you can't believe it's not 'real' Native American. The look is there but it's actually really REALLY good faux.
The silver-tone pendant is set with turquoise and red glass stones that resemble coral and turquoise. The beaded double chains are strung with silver-tone beads and more turquoise and red glass beads. It's very well made.
The necklace measures 15 to 17 inches, depending on where you clasp it along the extension chain. The clasp is a secure lobster style. The pendant measures 1 3/8 by 1 7/8 inches. Both the back of the pendant and the end tag are signed BEN-AMUN. Necklace is in excellent condition.

IF you could work anywhere in the country, where would you choose?
The most popular answer for Australians is the ABC, according to recruitment firm Randstad.
It bumped last year's winner Virgin Australia from top spot at the 2013 Randstad Awards, with defence and security company BAE Systems coming in third.
The awards measure the perceived attractiveness of Australia's major employers using a survey of 7000 active job seekers.
The ABC, which won second place last year, ranked highly among Australians for its offer of interesting job content, learning and development opportunities, long term job security, workplace culture and work-life balance.
The most attractive industry according to job seekers is the aviation industry, which often scores highly due to perceived benefits like cheaper flights. Virgin Australia and Qantas both ranked in the top five attractive employers.
Mining and resources is the second most attractive sector, with fast moving consumer goods ranked third.
This year Federal Government departments were included in the research for the first time, with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, the Department of Health and Ageing, the Department of Defence and Australia Post all making the top 20.
The survey showed the most important factor when considering an employer was competitive salary and benefits (20 per cent), followed by long-term job security (17 per cent), good work-life balance (11 per cent) and interesting job content (9 per cent).
Randstad managing director Deb Loveridge said this year Australian workers wanted to be recognised and rewarded for hard work and loyalty through better salary and benefits, rather than job security which was a major concern in 2012.
"With people increasingly looking for employers who will reward their efforts and contribution to the organisation, being viewed as an employer who cares for and invests in their people has never been more important to secure and retain top talent in the years ahead," Ms Loveridge said.
The research also found men prefer financially healthy organisations with strong management that offer career prospects and learning opportunities, whereas women look more for flexible working arrangements, accessibility and good work-life balance.
Randstad Award winners 2013 (amongst respondents who know the company, the percentage that would like to work for the company):
ABC - 47 per cent
Virgin Australia - 44 per cent
BAE Systems - 42 per cent
Channel Seven - 42 per cent
Qantas - 41 per cent
Department of Immigration & Citizenship - 41 per cent
Department of Health & Ageing - 41 per cent
Newcrest Mining - 40 per cent
Coca-Cola Amatil - 40 per cent
GHD - 40 per cent
Department of Defence - 40 per cent

Criminological and Legal Consequences of Climate Change
Edited by: Duncan French, Stephen Farrall, Tawhida Ahmed
This edited collection - the result of a 2010 international seminar held at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law, Onati, Spain - explores the potential legal and criminological consequences of climate change, both domestically and for the international community. A novel feature of the book is the consideration given to the potential synergies between the two disciplinary foci, thus to encourage among legal scholars and criminologists not only an analysis of the consequences of climate change from these perspectives, but to bring these fields together to provide a unique, ~inter-disciplinary exploration of the ways in which climate change does, or could, impact our societies. Such an inter-disciplinary approach is necessary given that climate change is a multifaceted phenomenon and one which is intimately linked across disciplines.

In 2001 I was craving a different form of physical exercise after years of walking and exercise videos. When I came across the opportunity to take a Yoga class through an adult education course I just felt this was what I was looking for and signed up right away. Immediately I knew that this was bigger than any other physical exercise I had experienced. I felt a rapid connection to the process of slow movement and deep breath. The transition for me was smooth, exciting but, more importantly, natural. In just a few years I considered teaching which only expanded my deep appreciation for this beautiful practice. I obtained my 200 hour Kripalu Yoga teacher certification in 2004 and hope to expand my teacher training.
Sat Kirpal Kaur Darlene Attard
"A small child shall lead them."
It was my son who started me on my yoga journey, while I was 5 months pregnant back in 1999. My
friends invited me to a tarot card reading party, and the reader told me to do something with stretching and movement, to prepare for this birth as it was going to be difficult. So, I went online and purchased Gurmukh's video for prenatal yoga and practiced it daily to get ready. It was a Kundalini prenatal video. I was in labor for 20 hours on September 25, 1999, and the long deep breathing and yoga music playing, over and over again, provided a calm, loving vibration that made all the "work" graceful and wonderful!
After my son was born, I bought the Gurmukh's post natal video and Kundalini Yoga video and practiced them every day. In 2002, I went to NYC for an all day intensive with Gurmukh at an Omega Conference. After I shared my story with her, she toldme, "You should be teaching." She invited me to get my prenatal certification with her in LA, California. In February of 2003, I was with her for 10 days and received my Prenatal Kundalini Certification. In August, I went to New Mexico for to become Kundalini Yoga Certification and studied with the master, Yogi Bhajan. He gave me the name of Sat Kirpal Kaur which translates into princess of compassionate truth. I went from being a CPA with Citibank, to being a yogi. What a blessing as my training under Master Bhajan, Masters Touch
Teacher Training was his last as he passed the following year on October 6, 2004. This year, I am completing my Level 2 Kundalini Yoga/Meditation Certification. I am also a Master Teacher in Magnified Healing.
Always a spiritual seeker, while in college, I enrolled in a call called "Japanese Tea Ceremony." Since Zen Buddhism was the primary influence in the development of this beautiful art form, I was hooked. The teachings of Zen Buddhism led on a path of self discovery. I attended several workshops on mindfulness and meditation, and eventually, became a Reiki Master in 1997.
In 2013, I studied The Reiki System of Natural Healing, at the Open Center in New York, with Joanna Yuan Crespo (a student of the great Margaret Ann Case). I, once again, completed the REIKI levels 1, 2 and 3; and, earned a second Reiki Master Practitioner certification.
My interest in nutrition began in college and didn't formally study nutrition until 2012 when I attended the Integrative Nutrition Health Institute and became a Certified Nutrition Health Coach. Since graduation, I have worked with numerous clients and offer workshops focused on how food can be our greatest medicine. I, also, talk about the importance of healing the "whole" person – in mind, body and spirit.
Through this journey, I was guided to Yoga for Life and given the opportunity to present nutrition workshops to students and teachers. While I had taken yoga classes prior, I experienced something new at Yoga for Life – the beauty, devotion and tranquility that lives and breathes in this studio. The owner/director Sita and her husband, Sal, have created a space that embodies the true essence of yoga. This is a place where we can bring mind, body and spirit to the mat, fill our hearts with loving energy, and take that energy off the mat and into the world. It was at this moment, I realized I was destined to be a yoga teacher.
In September of 2014, I enrolled in the 200-hr teacher training program and registered with Yoga Alliance in May of 2015. I have also completed two other yoga teacher trainings – (1) for children with Lil Yogi's NYC, and (2) with Nikki Meyers, of the Y12SR: The Yoga of 12-Step Recovery. In January of 2015, I became certified to teach Y12SR.
It is a blessing to teach at Yoga for Life! I have found a home where I may continue my journey, learn and grow on and off the mat. I, also, have a home where I can share, inspire and be of service to others. Namaste!
"The sanskrit word Namaste holds several definitions, one being: I honor all that is true and the light that glows within you where respect and kindness dwells. This is the energy that I have experienced in Mary Ellen's class."
– Student of Mala
Mala's love and tranquility for yoga is what inspired her to become a yoga teacher. She has been practicing yoga for the last several years at Yoga For Life and considers the teachers and students at YFL to be her mentors and teachers. She believes the opportunity to teach at YFL is both a gift and an honor that has enriched her practice and study of yoga.
Her desire is to extend the healing benefits she experiences to her students, inspiring them to breathe, relax and allow the gifts of yoga to embrace them. She helps guide students to become truly aware of the beauty and magnificence of their body, mind and spirit; bringing them closer to experiencing the miracle that they themselves truly are… both on and off the yoga mat.
Mala Mary Ellen is a Professional Certified Yoga Alliance Teacher and a Certified Reiki Practitioner.
As yoga continues to be Mala's, she invites you to come and take her class. She hopes to help guide you to your sanctuary.
In 1999, Lois began her yoga journey when her youngest child entered kindergarten. She began taking classes at North Shore Yoga, in Port Jefferson, lead by yoga instructor Gina Sheridan. As her yoga practice progressed, Lois started studying the practice and philosophy of yoga. She also entertained the idea of teaching yoga herself.
Lois came across a home study program offered by Integrative Yoga Therapy, based in North Carolina and founded by Joseph and Lillian Lepage. This program gave her the opportunity to study at her own pace and in her own space while raising a family. Lois started taking a variety of workshops by other well-known instructors, such as, Beryl Bender Birch, T. Krishnamacharya, M. Desikachar, Sri Dharma Mittra, Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, Sharon Gannon, David Life, Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee.
As she began to sub for other instructors, Lois slowly overcame her shyness and developed confidence. In 2008, she enrolled in a 200-hr yoga teacher training program, which also happen to blend nicely into her family life. In 2009, she registered with Yoga Alliance as a certified yoga instructor and found her home at Yoga for Life, in Setauket. Lois is completed her 500-hr advanced yoga teacher training program in yoga therapy.
Lois is a Reiki II practioner.
According to Lois, "Words cannot express what Yoga for Life and yoga mean to me."
Jacqui Leviton began her professional career as a pediatric nurse. After 15 years she decided to stay home with her two children.
She began her own yoga practice and loved it so much she became a teacher completing her 200 hours with YTTI, the Yoga Teachers Training Institute. It was a life changing experience and she continues to learn and grow by attending conferences and workshops studying with Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, Rodney Yee and many others. The joy of yoga for Jacqui is the movement and flow, having fun on your mat and being open to all that your practice brings to you. Both physically and spiritually.
Jacqui's classes are a blend of vinyasa yoga with a big emphasis on chanting, inspirational music, laughter and friendship.
Jacqui feels it is the blessing of community, of sharing something so wonderful with others who feel the same that makes Yoga for Life such a special place. She is also a Reiki Practitioner and a certified Reflexologist.
Kate began her yoga practice over a decade ago and has been teaching at Yoga For Life since it opened. Kate received both her 200 and 500 hour certifications from the Yoga Teacher Training Institute (YTTI) in Queens and Northport. She received additional certifications in Ashtanga Yoga from David Swenson, Vinyasa Flow from Shiva Rea, and in Pre- and Post-Natal Yoga. Kate is also a Level I Positional Therapy Body Worker and Thai Yoga Massage practitioner. She synthesizes all these experiences, together with her own personal explorations of yoga in all its forms, into her unique brand of instruction.
Kate is known for her down-to-earth style, funky playlists, and philosophy that marries the wisdom of the ancient sages with the immortal words of Bridget Jones' Diary, "you're perfect just as you are." Kate is indebted to all the wonderful teachers who have crossed her path, especially Marianne and Mokshapriya and the YTTI and Yoga For Life communities. Kate extends her gratitude to Scitta and Salvatore for endless encouragement and love.
When I was 14, I had my first panic attack which consisted of trouble breathing and severe stomach pain. Of course, at the time, I never heard of panic attacks and just thought I was sick. After lots of hospital and doctor visits and testing, I was diagnosed as having anxiety. I was confused and scared and didn't know what to do to help myself. So over time, I became very fearful of participating in anything that might bring on an attack. My life seemed limited at that point.
One day on a friend's recommendation, I decided to try yoga. My first class was at Yoga For Life and after that one class, I was hooked. Almost immediately, I felt a shift occur in my nervous system – my chest felt lighter, I was calmer and my thoughts were now hopeful. I continued to practice and to learn more about Pranayama (breathing) which I now know was the key to healing me. Simply focusing on my breath and noticing my breathing in stressful situations truly opened my eyes that the ability to heal myself was in my power. As my journey began, it wasn't long before long I registered for the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga for Life. During the training, I learned there are many aspects to yoga and as I continued the training saw how my life was changing. I never had that "I know what I'm here to do" feeling before, but after taking the training, I finally found "My thing, My path, My purpose." The following year, I registered for the 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training, again at Yoga for Life.
The second Yoga Sutra of yoga is Citta Vrtti Nirodhah which means yoga is the stilling of the changing states of the mind. I feel honored and blessed that the yoga path found me and look forward to spreading the light of this knowledge to my students.
"Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now. Peace is all around us – in the world and in nature – and within us – in our bodies and our spirits. Once we learn to touch this peace, we will be healed and transformed. It is not a matter of faith; it is a matter of practice." – Thich Nhat Hanh, Life Prayers
Toni Ann Riedel, RYT 500
Living a healthy lifestyle has always been an important value to me. In 1987, my journey began to living a healthier lifestyle when I became certified as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer.
In 2005, I found myself moving (or being moved) toward wanting to learn and teach Pilates and yoga. I enrolled in several trainings and workshops to learn the teaching methodologies and philosophies through AFAA (Aerobic & Fitness Association in America). It wasn't until 2008, I enrolled in a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified school. By taking this step into the world of yoga, the transformation within me began. The decision to become certified as a yoga instructor involves much dedication and time for study. The learning process is more than showing someone how to do a posture (asana), it is learning and building a strong foundation of the yoga philosophy – the Eight Limbs of Yoga: Patanjali's Yoga Sutras – and living it.
I continue my professional yoga continuing education to help a variety of populations including: women, men, seniors, veterans, youth-at-risk and people with special needs – Anxiety, Depression, Grief, PTSD, Back Pain, Scoliosis, Heart Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis to name a few. In 2010, I enrolled in an intensive workshop entitled Mindful Resources for Youth-At-Risk and PTSD with YogaEd. This training is especially good for working with youth who live in under-resourced or high-needs school districts and veterans.
In 2014, I achieved my 500-hour Advanced Teacher Training in Yoga Therapy which includes learning therapeutic and adaptive teaching methods for a variety of special populations including: children with special needs (Autism, Cerebral Palsy, etc.), Teaching Adaptive Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis, Scoliosis, Back Pain, Cancer, Thai Body Work, and healing the heart, body, mind and spirit due to grief and trauma. I've studied and taken workshops with Shiva Rae, Dharma Mittra, Sean Corn and Amy Weintraub. To me, it is the breath, movement and pause that bring me into a state of peace.
In 1997 yoga found me at summer camp in Pennsylvania. Then, I didn't know what "yoga" was, but I knew intuitively that it was something sacred and powerful. It graced my life periodically throughout my teenage years, gently initiating me.
In 2005, as a college student in Canada, yoga invited me to pursue its graces in further depth. I began to practice weekly at the gym and I loved how I felt inside: strong, playful, clear, and capable.
In 2007 I began practicing at Yoga for Life, where I was consciously introduced to the spiritual teachings of yoga. My relationship with my practice began to deepen. I became more aware of the virtuous teachings of yoga, and my practice on the mat became more consciously transferable to my life off the mat. Yoga had embraced me!
In 2009, I began training at Yoga for Life to become certified to teach. That same year I traveled to Kripalu to become certified to teach Yoga Dance (I love to dance). That same year I became certified in Reiki and Hypnotherapy. And that very same year I began working as a Birth Doula. My yoga practice has taken me to further depths of growth and meaning than I ever considered when this journey began years ago.
Teaching yoga is a sacred gift life has given me. Each time I teach, I learn about my own practice and my own character. My journey into and throughout the world of yoga has been enjoyable, informative, enriching, challenging, rewarding, liberating, encouraging and more. I gladly embrace the secrets that this yogic path holds, because each step on this path is a gift.
Growing up, I was always intrigued by yoga…the peacefulness, strength and flexibility, yet was far too shy to walk into a yoga studio and take a class. My yoga practice began at home about 12 years ago. Eventually, what started with a single yoga VHS, grew into quite the library of DVDs. In 2008, I bought a Kundalini Yoga DVD, fell in love with it and began a regular at home yoga practice. The combination of breathing, chanting, movement, and the peace I felt afterward, drew me in and it was then the yearning to learn more began.
In 2010, I began reading more about spirituality, learning more about myself and studying Reiki. In 2011, I studied holistic health and began coaching others. Next, it was time to focus on yoga. I wanted to learn more about the practice… the breathing and meditation. I also needed to find some balance and reduce some stress in my life. I researched studios and teacher training programs (even though I had never attended a single class in person) and kept coming back to Yoga for Life. I signed up and graduated in May 2013 from the 200-hour yoga teacher training program. This journey has become an amazing life changing experience for me. I am blessed to have found such a supportive studio and honored to learn from wonderful teachers and students. Every day, I learn something new in every class I take and teach.
Bio coming soon.
Yoko's journey into yoga began when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. Even though she ate well and was overall healthy, the cancer diagnosis came as a complete surprise to her. She underwent the full course of cancer treatments including a double mastectomy, chemo and radiation. After the mastectomy, Yoko had minimal movement and felt as if her body and mind were separate. Her body would not move in ways she wanted, she couldn't lift her arms overhead and her whole body was just plain cranky.
Yoko found a physical therapist who gave her exercises to do at home, which didn't work well for her. It was then that Yoko found that the Stony Brook Cancer Center was offering a series of six free yoga classes for breast cancer patients. After the series ended, Yoko continued her yoga practice at Yoga for Life. It was the yoga that Yoko noticed helped improvement in her physical body. She was also enjoying that she could now move and stretch her body as well as raise her arms overhead. Yoga also helped her mentally to stop asking herself, "Why me? What could I have done to cause the cancer?" Through yoga, Yoko learned to accept it, without reasons, and let it go.
It was during this crisis that Yoko was moved to become a yoga teacher. She wanted to share her journey and experience of learning to live in the present moment. Yoko enrolled in the 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training, at Yoga for Life. Her goal is to help others learn the tools of yoga that will help them through their journey, especially those struggling with cancer and its recovery.

Independent Voters Choose Charlie Sheen Over Sarah Palin
Independent Voters Choose Charlie Sheen Over Sarah Palin — What About You?
Among independent voters, Charlie Sheen is winning. Duh. In a recent poll, more independent voters said they would pick Charlie Sheen over Sarah Palin for president by a 41 to 36 margin. Among Democrats, he'd beat Palin by a 44 to 24 point margin. But don't expect to see the unemployed actor and his goddesses in the White House anytime soon, even if he ran against Palin in a tiger-blood-fueled fantasy come true. Among all voters, Palin beats Sheen by 49 to 29. And it might make Palin feel better to know that 24 percent of total voters say they'd choose Charlie Sheen over Barack Obama. Only in America. Time for a snap poll among TrèsSugar readers! Given a choice between Sheen and Palin, who would you vote for?

Ms. Norris was a graduate from Salisbury University with a major in Social Work but was pulled back to education due to the struggle the youth she worked with had in school. Investing in her scholars and youth beyond the classroom through coaching many different sports such as basketball and softball as well as developing book clubs, arts and crafts, and team building activities is one of her first priorities. She believes that the success and confidence of her scholars in their education is the only way for her own success to be determined.

Heidi Klum Goes For a Roll with Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show"
He always manages to end up in compromising situations, and Jimmy Fallon had his hands full when Heidi Klum dropped by "The Tonight Show" last night (July 30).
The "Project Runway" babe played along as Fallon introduced the popular "This is How We Roll" segment, standing above Jimmy while wearing a tiny dress.
Fallon blurted out, "I'm not going to peek, I'm not going to peek. Look my eyes are shut," but when Heidi asked, "You promise?" he admitted, "I peeked, I peeked."
But after the usual 'roll,' Klum added her own spin- "Now we're going to do the German roll. Go lay down." Let's just say the married host may have been sleeping on the couch last night!
