MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Kevin Harvick has picked his way through traffic before at Martinsville Speedway, never when the stakes were so high.
A poor qualifying effort has Harvick starting 33rd, behind all the other title contenders, in Sunday's race on the Virginia short track. Because the rest of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field is starting in the top 13, Harvick won't have much time to avoid being lapped.
His Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet was considerably faster on Saturday — he was fastest in the final practice of the weekend — so crew chief Rodney Childers didn't seem too concerned about race day.
"Just gotta roll with it at this point," said Childers. "In the spring we went back to 30th three different times and drove back to the top-five like it wasn't nothing, so you've just got to have a good car and drive up there."
There's no margin for error as the third round of the Chase begins Sunday. There are eight drivers remaining from a field that started with 16 but has gone through two rounds of cuts after every three races.
Now the Chase hits the critical stretch — races at Martinsville, Texas and Phoenix — and winners earn an automatic berth into the finale. NASCAR will crown the champion on Nov. 16 at Homestead, where the final four will race for the title. The winner will be the highest finisher of the four eligible drivers.
It will take either victories or consistency to make it to Homestead, and Harvick will have to hustle on Sunday. Although he drove from 36th to third in 2010, this marks just the seventh time in 27 career starts he has started outside the top 20 at Martinsville.
Qualifying had really been a strong point for the No. 4 team all season, too, as fast cars had led Harvick to a series-best eight poles.
But Childers said he was off Friday with the car, and sent Harvick out too early in the first round of qualifying.
"I just screwed up. I thought maybe the track would be good early, and it was horrible," Childers said. On Harvick's second attempt, he hit the wall, but Childers said the car sustained minimal damage.
Harvick won at Martinsville in April 2011 and has driven from the back of the field at various times. Still, in 131 Cup races at Martinsville, drivers who have started outside the top 20 have won just six times. Kurt Busch won in March from 22nd, and only one Martinsville winner has ever started worse than 24th.
Childers said they'll be patient.
"It's not that big a deal unless something stupid happens on the race track or something stupid happens on pit road," Childers said. "If you've got a car that's just as good as the leader you don't have to worry about (being lapped). They've got the same traffic to go through that you've got to go through, so it all comes down to getting the car right (in practice) and you won't have any of that to worry about."
PAYBACKS?: The racing at Martinsville, a 0.526-mile paper-clip-shaped track with tight corners, can often create situations where paybacks are delivered for past incidents. And, they can be made to look like racing incidents and not intentional.
The Chase drivers all know that going into Sunday.
"Martinsville, it builds a lot of drama anyway because it's tough on brakes, you're trying to outbreak other competitors, the double-file restarts (are tough)," said eight-time and defending winner Jeff Gordon.
"You take any animosity that's been built up over the season into that race and that is certainly a place that people feel like that they can play payback. If there are some guys out there doing that, I just hope I'm not on their list."

6 thoughts on "Should Eating Competitions be Banned?"
I say eating competitions should be banned.First of all they can throw up or choke.Second reason why it should be banned beacaus they can be speech less or get sick or die.Third reason they would not feel able to eat and talk they will be numb. So those are all my reasons why they should be banned. By Andrew
Eating competitions should be banned. First of all, if you are not a professional and they start they can choke and die. Second, while they are eating lots and lots of food there are people out there that don't have food so I in my perspective it's like just because some people are in a competition they get to eats lots and lots of food but the people who are not in a competition they don't gate to eat. Finally, the competetors are eating lots of food and they can become fat probably over fat and that is not very healthy. These are 3 reasons why eating competitions should be banned.

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wcs_dequeue_quantity' ); function wcs_dequeue_quantity() { wp_dequeue_style( 'wcqi-css' ); }
This will dequeue the plugin's stylesheet.
Work as inteded
Work as intended!
Adds 2 instead of 1 quantity
Looked everywhere for a solution but cannot find one, after activating this plugin, people can only add 2 quantity at a time to the cart. So it starts on 1, then 3 then 5 etc…
Good stuff
Works great, WooCommerce v.3.0.1
it just works
two thumbs up!
It doesn't work
It doesn't work with WooCommerce 2.6.13 and WordPress 4.7.1.
Не убирает старые стили
Добавляет плюс и минус, но старые стили не убирает. Получается винигрет.
А если надо ковыряться самому и допиливать – то нафига тогда вообще плагин ?

For my music classroom this year, I made a set of 3 posters.
I had them printed at the local Walmart photo department as 8″X20″ posters. They look great!
For my music classroom this year, I made a set of 3 posters.
My latest project, music note playing cards, is now available. I call it the Name-A-Note game.
The Name-A-Note card game, featuring Mr. Noteman the music note puppet, is a fun educational game for learning the names of music notes on the music staff. This set of cards contains all 52 notes encompassing the range of a standard piano, also including some overlapping notes on ledger lines between the treble and bass clef staff lines. There are a total of 79 cards.
Click on the picture below to read the rules of the game. A listing of all the note cards is also included.

Every year I make an academic calendar for myself to use in personal planning. If you would find it useful, feel free to download and print a copy for yourself.

Here's an interesting way of presenting the effect that music has on people.
At our house, we are starting instrument lessons. Here is our new Mr. Noteman music practice report chart.
I introduced the whole family of Noteman Babies to my music students this week. Within about 10 minutes, the children could identify them by name and sing their note.
The red one is Baby Do, orange is Baby Re, yellow is Baby Mi, green is Baby Fa, blue is Baby So, purple is Baby La, and pink is Baby Ti.
We played several fun games with the Noteman Babies and had a grand time. The children all did an excellent job of identifying them and singing on pitch.
Here are some colored solfege cards I made to help teach the colors to the children.
Take a group of kindergartners to a piano and ask one of them to make angry sounds on the piano. You will immediately get loud, low, deliberate banging sounds. Ask another one to play happy sounds. The child will instinctively play light, high-pitched, fast notes. Ask yet another child to make sad sounds and you will hear slow, mid-range to low, soft notes. These sounds will be created by children who know nothing of piano playing, much less traditional music theory.
What is their secret? How do they know what the music is saying?
Children innately understand that they can make sounds which mimic a person's physical and emotional reactions. A person who is angry, for example, will make big motions, will talk in low, harsh, loud tones, and move about in a very deliberate manner. Recreating the emotion of anger on a piano then becomes simply a matter of doing the same things.
Take this exercise a step further, and you might be shocked at how proficient these small musicians are at using music to communicate. Ask a small child to think of an animal and portray that animal on the piano. See how quickly the other children can guess what the first child is thinking. In my experience, usually within 1 or 2 tries, the other kids know what animal was being "played" on the piano.
Music has the capability to communicate on so many different levels. It can communicate the emotions of anger, happiness, sadness, loneliness, joy, satisfaction, discontentment, and any other feeling you might experience. Music communicates physically, mentally and spiritually. And children are very much aware of this.
Years ago, when my children were very small, probably 2-4 years old, I played a CD for them of John Phillips Sousa marches, played by a marching band. Their response was obvious and immediate. They merrily started marching around the house in a perfect parade line, waving flags and stepping in time to the music. This was not something I taught them.
Children innately understand how music communicates.
Now, here's a lady who knows how to teach music to small children! You've got to watch this video. Notice her use of rhythm manipulatives as well.
Candida Tobin introduces harmony
Here's the story about how I happened to discover this video. In my last couple of posts, I introduced the Noteman Babies. My plan is to make them in 7 different colors and correlate them to the 7 pitches in the musical scale. Boomwhackers use this method, for example. I can think of tons of music learning games that could make use of these cool music education toys. (By the way, I introduced the Noteman Babies to my elementary music classes this week, and the kids really loved them!) I discovered that my music notation software, MuseScore, has the ability to print colored note heads, corresponding to the Boomwhacker colors. During the process of learning about all of this, I found a reference to a guitar teacher who used the Candida Tobin method, so I had to find out more.
I love her approach, but would probably go with the closer-to-a-standard colors of the Boomwhackers.
If you like this, you've got to go here to download another video about her system: http://tobinmusic.co.uk/content/video/requestVideo.htm
Highly recommended!
I'm calling it "The Singer's Song." Part one teaches good singing technique. Part two covers the main elements of music: melody, harmony, rhythm, and expressive elements. Part three teaches the concept of high and low notes. Put them all together for a wonderfully harmonious and fun canon.
Let me know what you think!

My wife and I dropped by the fabric store this evening and I was able to pick up some red and black craft foam, as well as some sticky-back eyes. A few snips after arriving back home, the new Mr. Noteman Finger Puppet was born. Don't you wish you had one?
Make your own with this incredible, handy dandy pattern with directions!

We all know by now that I have been on a fun journey called the Conscious Cleanse. We also know that I've had a few "slips" (cough cough…eating all the fries) on the cleanse. We know that I have tried to move towards a more whole foods way of life, less popcorn (who thought THAT was a good idea?) and more carrots. And let me tell you all, this cleanse has certainly done the trick.
But first, let me back up to this weekend. After the "fry-gate" experience of last week, I was back on track. Fresh smoothies for breakfast, giant salads for lunch, and healthy meals for dinner. Snacks are fruit and veggies. The cleanse offers an optional "Purification" cleanse on days 6 & 7, and days 13 & 14. On these days, the goal is to only eat (or drink) fruits and veggies, to really kick the cleansing into high gear. You can participate in the purification for both days, one day, or no days at all. Remember: this is not a one-size-fits-all kind of a cleanse. It really is whatever you want it to be.
So here's what happened. First, I took my happy ass to Dulce on Saturday morning (http://dulcevegan.com/), this super rad vegan bakery and cafe, to meet and hang with my new friend Adrienne. She is of cracktheplates.com, and she just so happens to be super duper rad. I indulged in a homemade biscuit, with tempeh bacon, tofu egg, arugula, and chipotle aoili. I should pause to mention here that NONE of those foods are on the cleanse. NONE. I consciously cheated, and I loved every bite. And it began as easily as that.
I didn't feel guilty, or ashamed. I realized on Saturday that I was never 100% devoted to the Conscious Cleanse. If I had been, I would never have a single slip. My will power is like that of a crazy person when fully engaged, clutching tirelessly to strength long forgotten. My goal with the cleanse was not perfection, because that shit is boring as hell. This is my perfection: to do the best that I can, and to never shame myself for falling. I want to live a pleasurable life, one filled with delicious foods and awesome desserts and great friends. I also believe in that bastard cousin of perfection known as "moderation" and therefore aim for that. I basically decided, after that ridiculous biscuit at Dulce, to take it easy on myself and to let my body do the talking.
Saturday night I found myself at Taverna Plaka, a Greek restaurant on Cheshire Bridge (http://www.tavernaplakaatlanta.com/). Full disclosure: I used to serve and bartend at Plaka, and that place will forever hold a little chunk of my heart. I haven't eaten there in a long time, mainly because I didn't know what I could eat there since going vegan. I told the server I was vegan, and she helped me put together an AMAZING menu with which I proceeded to stuff into my face. The chef made a special dish: hollowed-out eggplant filled with chopped veggies, served over a bed of rice with steamed green beans. This was the real deal, y'all. I nearly cried from the ecstasy of it. I also ordered the Horiatiki salad (with no feta), the hummus (of course), and the dolmadakia (stuffed grape leaves) – one of my favorite foods. To say that my cup runneth over with yummy foods is quite the understatement. The good news is that I proceeded to dance the calories off with the belly dancers. My body felt great: the food was light, nourishing, and wonderful.
On Sunday, I felt the effects of a late night out (I'm usually asleep by 10:30 pm. #old) and decided to try out the newest healthy grocery store in town, Sprouts. First, I found something highly disturbing on my tomato plants. Friends, my world has a new monster:
Thy name is hornworm. This prehistoric creepy sonofabitch has haunted my dreams, and now he munches on my plants. OH HELL NAW. Not on my plants. So I snipped off the leaves that he and his two buddies where attached to and I placed them in the yard to find another host. Then I burned the clothes I was wearing and took a brillow pad shower because GROSS.
Sprouts, however, is amazing! Like a mini Whole Foods, except closer and cheaper. I walked out of there with eight bags of groceries, most of them organic, and it came to a total that, at Whole Foods, would have been at least $100 more. Happiness is getting delicious food on the cheap! I decided that even though I was eating some things that weren't on the cleanse, that I would keep going with certain meals: a smoothie for breakfast and a salad for lunch. In this way, my body is feeling most happy and delightful and light. I'm aiming for the 80/20 lifestyle, and I'm slowing getting there.
Hippie alert: guess what has arrived? I got my dry brush and my sprouting kit! Ah, to be a dirty hippie in life is to know the utter love that comes with sprouts and brushing away your dry skin to improve your circulation. Read more about what Kris Carr thinks about dry brushing here: http://kriscarr.com/blog/dry-brushing/. And if you don't know who Kris Carr is, spend some time on her site. She rocks. My sprouting love will finally come home when I begin growing these bad boys.
I also received my first order from the Hippy Homemaker (on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheHippyHomemaker and her blog: http://www.thehippyhomemaker.com/) this weekend. I love a sea salt spray for my crazy hair, one that allows me to comb hair after shower, spray, scrunch, and bounce. I don't do the whole high-maintenance hair thing anymore. Christina makes all of her products to order and uses only natural goodness. Let me just say, my hair is ROCKING these days. Oh, and her son drew me a picture on my receipt. I died.
So how will I continue with this cleanse? I'm still doing an amazing smoothie every morning, which usually includes most of the following: unsweetened almond milk, banana, blueberries, kale, parsley, collard greens, arugula, sunflower sprouts, hemp seeds, and sometimes almond butter. I eat an awesome GIANT salad for lunch which includes: romaine, spinach, arugula, broccoli, sunflower seeds, alfalfa sprouts, cucumbers, and olive oil and lemon for the dressing. Then for dinner, I cook something nutritious and filling. Last night's dinner was green curry with tempeh, broccoli, bok choy, jalapenos from my garden, basil, and kale over quinoa. I even sprung for some delicious butter and garlic toast. I feel healthy, I feel lighter, and I am confident and comfortable in my decisions. Usually when I "fall off the wagon", I eat fries, popcorn, chips, anything salty and fried will do. I haven't done that (and I didn't buy any naughty things at Sprouts. A first!) This time, I feel like I've made healthy changes that make me feel awesome. Oh, and the best news yet: my pants are slightly looser. Smoothies and salads for the win!

Orthotics and its Infinite Benefits
Why Prefer Foot Orthotics?
Foot orthotics can be very effective in reducing muscle fatigue and can also optimize the performance of the muscle. When parts of the leg are stressed in various ways repeatedly it can lead to the wear and tear of the connective tissues which can cause the bones to become instable. To cope with such problems, foot orthotics is indeed a great solution. a complete range of orthosis are now available in the market to help relieve the individuals who suffer from various kinds of biomechanical problems. Individuals who are obese or are involved in sports can gain significantly by using foot orthotics.
Foot problems are a problem that is faced by a lot of people on a daily basis. Most of these problems are progressive in nature and are capable of developing into other problems. An early diagnosis and use of the correct feet orthotics to reposition, correct or align your feet can result in complete recovery from the problem and also prevent aggravating of feet related problems. If the patient suffers from plantar fasciitis, i.e., swelling of the arch of the feet because of excessive stress on this part, then, along with other treatments, using a pair of orthotics will help rectify this problem. Read More...
Orthotic insoles for foot pain and other complaints
One of the most common types of pain is that of the feet and heels. Our feet pain more than the rest of the body because they have to bear our body weight most of the time. Foot pain that is superficial can be treated easily; however, pain that is internal could be a cause of attention. At such times it is best to see a podiatrist and seek medical assistance. If you are unable to walk normally due to the pain, you end up putting pressure on other parts of the body. This can cause further damage as the rest of the body is not designed to support your body weight.
When podiatrists examine your foot they mostly suggest physiotherapy, because issues like muscle or joint pain can be healed with regular physiotherapy. Once you start physiotherapy, your physiotherapist will advise you to wear orthotics or foot insole. Orthotics are extremely helpful in easing pain and avoid the extra pressure that comes on your foot and lower limbs.
The Role of Orthotics in Relieving Foot Pain
Orthotics are superficial gear that modify the physical structure and provide support to the skeletal limbs. They work as shock absorbers when they are worn as foot orthotics. They support the appropriate alignment of the feet. Foot orthotics are remedial foot insoles that are worn inside the shoe in a way that they support the arch of your foot. They realign the lower legs, heels and ankles. As per studies almost 95% of foot pain and conditions like shin splits, plantar fasciitis, heel spur, Achilles tendon etc can be managed by wearing foot insoles. Read More...
Treating Plantar Fasciitis: Know Your Options
Plantar fasciitis (heel pain) is a musculoskeletal condition and one of the most common and painful foot problems today. It is mostly common in athletes, but it is rapidly affecting other people as well, especially those of the 40 – 70 yrs age bracket. This condition is brought about by the inflammation of the plantar fascia, the tissue that connects the heel bones to the toes (at the bottom of the foot). If you usually experience pain at the bottom of the foot with your first steps in the morning (or after a period of rest), you probably have this condition.
Plantar fasciitis is a condition that starts with slight discomfort and graduates to immobilizing pain if it is not addressed. As painful and uncomfortable as this condition is, there is good news: it can be treated. There are various treatment options available for all stages of the condition. Read More...
Achilles Tendonitis involves pain in the back of the heel
The Achilles Tendon is the thickest tendon of the human body, and the most crucial for facilitating mobility. It is situated at the back of the leg, and connects the calf muscles with the heel bone. Particularly in the case of athletes and marathon runners who have to train for extremely long durations, the Achilles Tendon often tends to get inflamed or swollen. This is characterized by intense pain in the back of the heel, and is known as Achilles Tendonitis.
Why Achilles Tendonitis is so common with runners?
The reason why Achilles Tendonitis is so common with runners, is because runners tend to overuse their feet while intensive training, and therefore are much more prone to foot injuries and heel spurs in particular. Especially in cases where lunging and jumping is involved, the chances of a partial tear or inflammation developing in this tendon are fairly high. This is exactly why Achilles Tendonitis is also referred to as an 'overuse injury', and consider the strategic location and nature of the Achilles Tendon, a spur, inflammation or tear once developed, takes a lot of time to get fully cured. Read More...
Heel pain, a common foot condition
What causes heel pain?
Heel pain is a common foot condition that affects people from all ages. Many have suffered this condition at some point of their lives, and good news is that it rarely leads to more severe health complications. However, it does cause trouble with everyday activities, and depending on the situation the pain can be quite severe.
Heel pain is usually experienced as a throbbing sensation on the back and/or bottom of the heel. This pain is often more severe after a long time without standing, like in the morning when we get out of bed, or after a while sitting or lying down. Accordingly, the pain tends to relief after we spend some time walking around. Read More...
How Insoles Help Treat Heel and Foot Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)
Heel pain is among the most common foot problems. This pain can manifest in different degrees from mild discomfort to excruciating pain depending on the severity of the condition. The location of the pain also determines the exact condition. When the pain is under the heel, the condition is referred to as Plantar Fasciitis, when it is just behind the heel; it is known as Achilles tendonitis.
Heel pain can sometimes be severe and disabling, though it can be treated. In most cases, mild heel pain disappears on its own, although there are reported cases of chronic pain that persists for a long time. Sometimes this pain is caused by mechanical issues that stress the muscles, tendons and bones when going about daily duties. Heel pain can also be caused by other problems such as trauma, neurological issues, arthritis and systemic issues. Read More...

Happy Client
Seek our help for your feet and you will never be sorry.
I never imagined that my weight would cause me heel pain. With the stigma that comes with weight issues I remained mute in my misery till I knew 'Look after your feet'. The in soles that were prescribed for me worked wonders and now am back on my feet.

Until I sprained my ankle I never appreciated that part of my foot. I had to take a back seat every sports session and let my colleague take over the coaching. With the orthoses I got from 'Look after your feet', my ankle healed. Am back on the pitch.

I want to climb the peak of the tallest mountain and just start screaming FUCK YEAH over and over till I pass out
I was gonna download this to try it out....but then again...nah!
Who the fuck keeps deleting my posts ? Don't be such a coward
Pretty Cure would whoop their butts badly especially in the battle and fashion department.
I did it, I did it!
Gotta try this one!
by the way another winx game came out previously, probably this is a region change or entirely different game
by the cover, this game is different since it looks more "teen" than it previously was... looks like an action-minigame type of game with slightly alot of teeness
Wtf is this?
Stay in the dark on this matter, it's for the best.
Believix!? Well thanks for making our dumb kids even dumber.
dirty little fairy whores
Too bad no one would want to get laid by them because they're so annoying.
They are dressed in barely anything and have adopted provocative poses. I I guess the Winx Club is probably a congregation of fairy whores in a seedy strippers club?
I wonder if this game is good...
Winx Club and good or decent should never be used in the same sentence. In other words it's bad.
oh i'd lay them in a 2nd just gag them to shut them up

Love brought Christina Danielsen all over Europe and her life has been a thrilling journey ever since. Today she has settled down in Oslo, Norway, and is a devoted yogi and yoga instructor. We got the chance to chat with her about the importance of yoga and why you shouldn't be afraid to try it.
By: Victoria Thoors Photo: Øystein Mikaelsen
– Yoga offers endless tools to balance, to simplify, to strengthen, to open up. Open-minded, relaxed people make good decisions based on a deep awareness of what is important and what is not, Christina Danielsen explains.
When talking about yoga Christina's face lights up and there's an aura of calmness surrounding her.
– Yoga means everything to me, because with a regular yoga practice everything makes sense. The fantastic balance of openness, flexibility and strength, both physically and mentally, offers a deep awareness and connection to both yourself and everybody around you. Yoga simplifies, calms and connects.
But yoga hasn't always been a part of Christina's life. Born and raised in southwest Germany she met a Norwegian man at the University of Mannheim and they began to build a life together. Only 23 years old she moved with him to Norway, then to Cambridge, England, back to Norway, to Luxembourg and finally back to Norway again where she still lives today.
– When Oda, my youngest daughter, started school I started working for SAS and did so for eight years, but then yoga started to grow on me.
When we asked her how she found yoga she thinks for a while before answering.
– I actually think yoga found me. I was ready to try something totally different. I had been exercising all my life, often on a very high level and was really curious about Ashtanga Yoga and when someone offered me private lessons I went in full-heartedly.
To say that yoga is needed today is an understatement. With all the stress and unease in the world people long for stillness and awareness, and Christina thinks yoga can help people to cope with their everyday struggles.
– It makes sense in a stressful, often mind blowing life. It's a chance to give your busy mind a short break and look at things from a different angle. People notice this effect immediately and want to make it a part of their lives.
What would you tell someone who is a bit sceptic of doing yoga?
– First of all I would talk about all the fantastic aspects of a regular yoga practice, you don't do yoga, you practice yoga. There are no goals in yoga, because this practice, whether it's for ten minutes or two hours, will always demand your full awareness. It`s about staying within your limits, breathing deeply, while you observe in a non-judgmental way. So it's actually nothing to be afraid of, as long as you find a teacher who resonates with you on all levels – what he or she says has to make sense to you, both mentally and physically, everything else comes over time. You are never alone.
There are some prejudice connotations that some associate with a yogi lifestyle, for example that yoga instructors tell you that you can't to eat meat and drink alcohol if you want to be a true yogi, but Christina likes to put it differently.
– My opinion is, that change can only appear through inspiration – convince the world by action, not words. Show respect to every being and naturally that will change their way of living.
What do you teach your yogis in terms of pursuing a healthy lifestyle?
– I teach them that having a peace of mind is a healthy foundation for a peaceful life. That you should never criticize or recent your love, because others live in a different way – make them feel at home in your world and you will actually be able to move mountains.
Do you like all sorts of yoga?
– Actually I do! All these different approaches reach out to different kinds of people, based on their cultural background and life situations. The one thing, which is common in all these different styles, is to focus on the breath. I love diversity and the fact that there is always a possibility to find what makes sense to you in this rich toolbox of Yoga.
What do you struggle with when it comes to yoga?
– Nothing actually, I welcome struggle, because it shows my potential.
Finally, What makes you happy Christina?
– I`m happy when I can help others to reach their fully potential, Christina concludes.
For those of you living in Stockholm
Would you like a chance to meet Christina and participate in one of her classes? She will be holding a 60 minute Awareness class in Stockholm. If you are interested ping an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com no later then 16/12.

Publisher's Summary
To you, who, through long years and much running to and fro, have been eagerly seeking, in books and teachings, in philosophy and religion, for you know not what - Truth, Happiness, Freedom, God;
To you whose Soul is weary and discouraged and almost destitute of hope;
To you, who many times have obtained a glimpse of that "Truth" only to find, when you followed and tried to reach it, that it disappeared in the beyond, and was but the mirage of the desert;
To you, who thought you had found it in some great teacher, who was perhaps the acknowledged head of some Society, Fraternity or Religion, and who appeared to you to be a "Master", so marvelous was the wisdom he taught and the works he performed; - only to awaken later to the realization that that "Master" was but a human personality, with faults and weaknesses, and secret sins, the same as you, even though that personality may have been a channel through which were voiced many beautiful teachings, which seemed to you the highest "Truth";
And here you are, Soul aweary and enhungered, and not knowing where to turn -
To you, I am come.
Likewise to you, who have begun to feel the presence of that "Truth" within your Soul, and seek the confirmation of that which of late has been vaguely struggling for living expression within;
Yes, to all you who hunger for the true "Bread of Life," I am come.
Are you ready to partake?
If so, then arouse yourself. Sit up. Still your human mind and follow closely My Word herein spoken.
Or you will turn away disappointed once more, with the aching hunger still in your heart.
Who am I? -
I, Who speak with such seeming knowledge and authority?
I am you, that part of you who is and knows;
Who knows all things,
And always knew, and always was.
Yes, I am You, Your self; that part of you who says I am and is I am;
That transcendent, innermost part of you which quickens within as you [listen], which responds to this My Word, which perceives Its Truth, which recognizes all Truth and discards all error wherever found. Not that part which has been feeding on error all these years.

Monk and Nippy are 3 year old brothers. They are up to date on all their medical and both are neutered. They are both micro chipped. Once they have settled in their foster home we will provide more information on these two sweet little boys. They MUST be adopted together. !! We will not separate them. They are very bonded to one another.
Update from their foster home: Monk and Nippy...They are very good boys, they love to romp around in the fenced in back yard, Nippy is more content to just be aware of the sights and sounds and Monk will chase the tennis ball. They love to also go on walks and don't pull on the leash at all or get aggressive when other dogs are near. They can be good couch potatoes also and watch TV. Both of them will sit for a treat, they eat well. Monk bosses Nippy around a bit but he doesn't seem to mind. They haven't slept in their beds but prefer to sleep in the foyer so they can look out the front door. Both like to exercise their vocal skills to go out or play but know when it is quiet time and sleep through the night. Their hearing is great, they aren't too sure about lightning and thunder yet. Both love their bellies rubbed and under their chin and sleep on their backs with all 4s up in the air...They generally wait to be invited up on the sofa where their blanket is...Great, easygoing personalities for sure.
To adopt these two pekes please complete our on line application on our web site. Click here for our application. We require a home visit and vet reference.

Artist: Ichtyor Tides
CD Title: Mortisle Elytrion
Genre: Noise, Drone, Industrial
Date: 6-16-13
I decided to listen to this album, Mortisle Elytrion by Ichtyor Tides, because I thought they had the best name of everyone on the review list. On that, I have not wavered in my opinion.
The good: Beautiful cover art. Interesting name. Interesting song titles.
The bad: Everything else.
This is not music, but might be good as a soundtrack for a role playing game or for a horror movie. You could easily write a science fiction role playing scenario using each of these themes as background noise and create a horrifying atmosphere. And it's great that it has this potential, because if you listen to this from a musical perspective, this album is complete and utter awful.
I remember purchasing Mike Patton's Adult Themes For Voice, back when fifteen dollars for a CD was a big deal to me and back before we had Youtube to screen out terrible music. From a musical perspective, it was also awful. It was atonal, non-musical, and basically consisted of noise divided under uninspiring titles such as "A Leper with the Face of a Baby Girl", "A Smile, A Slap in the Face, A Fart, A Kiss on the Mouth", and "Robot Sex" (Neon and B/W, to clarify). It wasn't music, and as inured to Mike Patton's musical talents evidenced by his work with Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, I felt a little betrayed by the purchase. Fifteen dollars at the local Silver Platters, after all, was four, nearly five, #1 Value Meals at McDonald's at the time.
Mortisle Elytrion takes the same approach and intensifies the agony. There are now three dogs dropping awful here rather than one, led by one harried dogwalker who's had a bad day and is running out of little plastic bags. There are no musical elements to this CD. Nothing is musical here. Perhaps this is true industrial - the fanciful sounds of a factory, endlessly stamping out hundreds of the same product, all to the tune of the same four-note sound effect pattern endlessly repeated over and over again. There are no variations, no progressions. Perhaps the lyrics are really well written? I would be impressed by well written lyrics. I concede that I don't speak French well enough to judge them.
I literally don't know how someone could listen to this and enjoy it. Can someone help me with this? Are there really a subgenre of people who INTENTLY listen to this and enjoy it? And if so, what part of their humanity must have been removed to make it so?
If that's you, can you please give this album another review? I'm not hearing whatever it is that I'm supposed to hear.
I take notes as I listen to the music, here listed below. Usually I take my notes and then rewrite them into what looks like a coherent narrative. This time, I refuse. I'm not going to attempt to turn them into an actual narrative; there is no point.
I apologize for the terse and blunt nature of my review. I testify that I have tried to spin it as positively as I could, and have succeeded in doing so. This is the result.
* - for each use of the word 'awful' here in this review, I had initially substituted a more direct term, a noun rather than an adjective, but I decided to replace it to keep my reviews family friendly.
"Insulffee" - 2:12 of static
"Wooise Perkage" - awful. Nothing more to say.
"PQRSux" - Good sound effects on the lead singer's voice. Well produced awful.
"Ventide" - I thought it was going to be interesting with the background sound sounding like wind, but then it turned out to be the same static bullshit we'd heard on the last 3 songs.
"Soreilles Guines" - I really like the titles of these songs. Too bad I don't like the songs. Or whatever they're called. I don't know what to call them, because it's not music.
"BM" - Bowel movement. More rhythmic than the rest of the tracks so far. Repetitive, obnoxiously so. "Alchemo" - I am trying to write other parts to this review while listening to this and it's just static in my ears. If I heard this sound on the jobsite, I would demand hearing protection; and if denied, I would have a legitimate lawsuit against my employer.
"Suaval" - He sounds quite suave here, after all. And again, the vocal effects - reverb and equalization, mainly - are well placed and well recorded. The opening percussion drags on. It's three minutes of the same sound, with almost no variation whatsoever.
"Drongle" - Opens with promising tonal sounds. At this point, I'm willing to accept anything that sounds like a musical sound. But it descends into the same repetitive noise that plagued the rest of the album. "Yole Exitore" - More vocals, although now I'm growing tired of them. There are no notes. There is no singing, no vocals. Although the end almost sounds a little bit musical. Sort of. I'm dying for it by this point.
"Exiphannist Plunge" - SIXTEEN MINUTES? The opening sounds nice, with the rainfall and all. The synths or whatever they are start up at about 1:00 in and then continue for another fourteen minutes or so. Somewhere in the mix you start to hear what sounds like a Hammond organ, which would be cool if it weren't wasted amid a mess of noise and static. And then the song's over, sounding exactly the same as it did before.

Jussi Björling's Vocal Training
By Michael Mayer
The process of training to be a singer, especially an opera singer, is not very well understood by the general public. It is really a combination of the standard musical training, like instrumentalists, and training the body as an athlete to be the instrument.
The musical part is pretty obvious. The singer is going to be expected to perform music of the highest level. The athletic part is less obvious. Less obvious because if done well it is not noticeable to the audience.
The reason it is necessary to develop the physical coordination of the body to such a degree is because of the very nature of the act of singing. The body is the musical instrument. Compared to every other instrument the singer is unique in that they are responsible for not only playing their instrument, but also building it.
Before we start to look specifically at the training that Jussi went through to develop into perhaps the greatest all-around singer in history, I would like to introduce myself and who I am to be presenting this.
I am a researcher and instructor of the voice, as well as a singer. My main professional focus is researching and understanding vocal function. I feel that Jussi Björling is the best example of natural, healthy vocal function. And because of that he has been a major focus of my research.
The request of this article was made after a discussion on the JB Yahoo Group. A popular opinion came up that I have heard in other places before – Jussi was a natural singer with a God-given talent. Sometimes this opinion goes on to say that "he didn't know what he was doing, he just sang."
It sure does seem like that when we watch and listen. It is such a natural act that we have a hard time identifying any technique like we can with many other singers. I like to point out that this natural behavior is the technique. When I realized this distinction I immediately shifted my focus from "technique" to "function".
The older generations understood this too, even if they didn't use the term "function". When we read the little we have of Jussi talking about how to sing that word, natural, comes up repeatedly. This was ingrained in him, and his brothers, by his Father from the time he was a small boy.
Jussi's First Lessons
His Father, David, had very strong opinions about how one should use the voice. And he insisted that the boys learn the correct way to do things. Luckily his assertions were well-founded. He developed some on his own, as any good teacher does. But his concepts were based on what he learned during his studies at the Metropolitan Opera School and the Conservatory of Vienna.
David Björling was also a great admirer of Caruso. He used him as an example repeatedly. When in New York at the Met Opera School he had the opportunity to observe the great tenor, and according to family lore even studied with him. Undoubtedly he used what he learned in his own singing and in what he taught his boys.
David wrote a little pamphlet (available from the Museum) presenting his views on the teaching of the voice as well as the upbringing of children. In it he discusses the importance of a good vocal instructor and the health of the respiratory system.
Next he emphasizes the importance of good breath control. Comparing it to the violinist's bowing. He describes how to breath, inhaling the air by raising the chest and "imagine that you extend it on all sides in order to give the lungs plenty of room to receive the air that is used in producing the tone." He describes the way to keep the lower part of the abdomen drawn in. He also emphasizes the importance of not dropping the chest when exhaling or singing. "Train yourself to keep the chest high and the back straight." We certainly can observe this in JB's singing from the videos.
In the section titled "Placing the Tone", David instructs to "Open the mouth as in laughing. It is not enough to open the mouth, but the cavity of the throat as well, in order to produce a rich and beautiful tone." There is a warning against children singing "pianissimo because that contracts the throat and affects the voice. Nor must they sing too loud so that it sounds like screaming, but let them produce a rich and powerful tone with open throat cavity and chest high and deep breathing, and you will soon obtain results."
David also explains a relatively rare aspect of opening the throat. "By opening the throat you also open the canals of the nasal cavities, and the tone places itself-or the resonance in head and nasal cavities-and thereby becomes soft and beautiful. A tone taken with a contracted throat also turns out a contracted nasal tone, which is disagreeable to listen to. But an open and free tone, instead of sounding nasal, becomes true and beautiful-and it becomes easy to the singer and enjoyable to the listener." Jussi in his own words credits this aspect of using the resonators as being most important.
Academy Years
After David's death Jussi was on his own for a couple years. Through some fortunate connections he auditioned for, and was accepted into, John Forsell's class at the Royal Academy. Forsell was a highly respected baritone and teacher, famous for his Don Giovanni.
Although Forsell became a father figure to Jussi, his brothers convinced him some of the technical aspects of his teaching were not good. Jussi stood his ground with Forsell and insisted that he must sing in the natural manner learned from his father. It would be very interesting to hear exactly what Forsell had taught him that they disapproved of.
Even while sticking to his father's lessons as far as vocal technique, the experienced teacher had much to offer the young Björling. Forsell coached Jussi in all aspects of performance in preparation for his stage career.
Young professional Opera Singer
Ironically it was through Forsell that Jussi was introduced to the teacher who would help him put the finishing touches on the technique he formed with his father. During the summers the Forsells would have guests at their Villa on "Singers' Island". Jussi joined other students and family friends.
It was here that Björn Forsell, John's son and friend of Jussi's, suggested he consult Joseph Hislop for help with his highest notes. Hislop was a friend and also a guest of the Forsells for the summers and gave lessons to the students. He was winding down his own career at the time and was considering going into teaching.
Hislop was a Scottish tenor that had trained in Stockholm with Dr. Gillis Bratt. Bratt was a medical doctor of the voice and most famous for being Kirsten Flagstad's teacher. Hislop had originally moved to Gothenburg to work as a photoprocess engraver. In his free time he sang with a local chorus. He was "discovered" by a professional soloing with the group, Magnus Lindström, in 1910. Lindström studied with Dr. Bratt and convinced Hislop to travel to Stockholm to audition for him. In this twist of fate Hislop managed to end up as a world famous tenor often described as the Scottish Caruso.
The extent of Jussi's contact with Hislop that we learn from official accounts generally leads us to believe that it is limited to a few informal lessons on "Singers' Island." But the biography of Joseph Hislop gives a little more information.
It was on Singers' Island that Hislop gave Jussi a demonstration on how to sing the high C. Jussi couldn't replicate it at first and Hislop demanded that he just imitate him. After a short time Jussi got the C and even added a high D.
Hislop invited Jussi to study with him the next summer of 1934 at his house at Brottkärr. The following May Jussi wrote to Hislop, "I want to thank you for your great kindness to me last summer and for what I learnt from you in the difficult art of singing. It has been very useful to me and I realize more and more that it is the only right way."
Unfortunately there aren't any clues as to how much they worked together over the next few years. In 1936 Hislop received an appointment to teach at the Royal Academy in Stockholm. He supplemented that with a post in the opera school of the Royal Swedish Opera as well as taking on private students.
In October 1937 Hislop made his final four appearances at the Royal Opera, where he had made his start as an opera singer. The morning after his first performance he received a note from Jussi, "You sang like a god yesterday. You delighted the ear and the eye, you were just wonderful. The papers think that you were finer 20 years ago, but I believe you are today more impressive than ever! Joseph, it was a marvellous night." The next day Hislop received a contract from Jussi's lawyer for lessons to prepare operatic roles for his planned American tour.
The Finishing Touches
The teacher relationships of a professional singer often are not well-known publicly. Sometimes they are even kept secret to avoid conflict. I don't think Hislop qualified as a ghost teacher to Jussi. But there isn't much left in Jussi's memoirs to go on.
A helpful source in my research was the recollections of a Swedish-American voice teacher, Allan Rogers Lindquest, who studied with Hislop in 1938-39. In an interview he told of meeting Jussi on more than one occasion and talking shop.
These conversations were extremely helpful to understanding what Hislop was after. The basic concepts were along the same lines as what Jussi had learned from his father. Complete naturalness and ease, without any effort of interfering tension in the throat. The only missing piece was the perfect attack.
Hislop taught what he had learned from Dr. Bratt. That the vowel tone originated in the vocal cords. This principle is easily recognized theoretically. After all, the vibration of the vocal cords is what creates the sound of the voice. But because of the dangers of incorrect application, this concept is generally denounced as a "voice-wrecker".
Although the focus was on starting the vowel in the vocal cords, it was constantly stressed that the act must not be self-conscious or over-done. There must not be any violence in the attack. Breath control is critical to avoid an explosive, violent start. Gentleness and sweetness were always emphasized to find "the silver thread" ring of resonance that we hear in the finest Scandinavian singers. This is why it was often referred to as the "sweet attack".
Jussi told Allan Lindquest that it took him several years to really perfect the "sweet" attack. It is very tempting to over-do it. That is what caused Birgit Nilsson to disapprove of Hislop's teaching, as she stated later in her interviews.
She always thought Hislop wanted the tight closure which feels uncomfortable. It wasn't until she was on her own as a professional and faced with a performance while sick that she deeply investigated the proper way of doing it. It is reasonable to believe that the early foundation she received from Hislop, even though she felt it was wrong, was what gave her the unique quality that made her a top Wagnerian.
Hislop described things like this: "Think of your body, lungs and stomach as a triangle. When you inhale, without exaggerated support, loosen up your throat, lift up your head, relax the lower jaw, don't squeeze the vocal cords, just let the air flow. Don't press violently. Then you will form 'the silver thread', (the ping). You could sing a high C in a different way but, without doing what I have explained to you, it will be an ugly sound."
In 1947 Hislop accepted a position as Director of the Opera School at Covent Garden and Artistic Director of Sadler's Wells Opera Company, which brought him back to the UK and London. In 1949 he was made an honorary Professor at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. Then in 1952 he was appointed Professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Jussi's relationship with Joseph Hislop continued to the end of his life. With Hislop in London their meetings were limited. But they visited whenever Jussi was there. In 1951 when Anna-Lisa was preparing to sing Romeo et Juliette with Jussi in San Francisco Jussi sent her to study with Hislop. Jussi was singing a concert at Royal Albert Hall, so they were in London. She found his "useful" and "insightful" suggestions a boost to her confidence.
There are stories of Jussi calling Hislop on the phone before a London recital, singing a note and asking how it sounds. Another, told by Donald Pilley, tells of his unexpected introduction to Jussi. "In 1960 I went for a lesson. I used to lay bricks in the daytime to pay for my singing lesson in the evenings and with fear and trembling I went along to the elegant vestibule in the music room at Westbourne Terrace. I was sitting there one evening at about half past five. I heard this voice. 'Fantastic'. He was better than me and I was jealous. Out came Joseph 'Come in, Donald, there's somebody you might like to meet.' I walked in and there the great man was seated, Jussi Björling, singing 'I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair'."
Hislop tells of his last meeting with Jussi. He was visiting with Jussi in his dressing-room during a break of an orchestra rehearsal for his March 1960 La bohème at Covent Garden. He had noticed that Jussi's voice was occasionally losing its freedom in the highest notes. Hislop gave a couple suggestions to resolve this and on the night of the performance everything was "a flower of perfection".
Unfortunately this is also the run of performances where Jussi suffered a heart attack in the wings. And six moths later he was dead at home in Sweden.
It is not really possible to quantify the influence of a teacher. The ideal is when a teacher gives accurate instruction that the singer adopts correctly with a successful result. The reality is not always that straight-forward. Some singers may achieve a positive result in spiteof what they were taught. But more often unnatural instruction results in stand-stills and confusion for the singer.
We can't say how much Joseph Hislop's teaching influenced Jussi's singing. Nor can we know what it would have been like without Hislop's involvement. I'm sure he would have still been a great tenor. But as great to be considered one of the best ever? We can't know because it didn't happen that way.
Jussi stated that he could not be a teacher. It takes a special kind of person to be able to communicate how to use the voice. He did admire Joseph Hislop for his ability to communicate abstract concepts. He kept in touch with him throughout his life seeking his advice. His interpretations of arias often show great similarities to the interpretation of Hislop. (Especially the aria from Faust. Not only are they similar. No one else phrases it the way they do) Jussi even brought his wife to study with him.
So although Jussi didn't publicly state much about his association with Joseph Hislop, from his actions we can draw the conclusion that Joseph Hislop had a big influence on Jussi Björling's development and career.

Dangers of Anabolic Steroids: Expert expositions why steroids should not be used by bodybuilders
Anabolic steroids, or 'roids' are generally known for use in methods of weight lifting, body building and other muscle growth techniques, anabolic steroids ironically have a bad health history that follows such a health-induced list of sporting events and body sculptors.
Weight lifters and body builders alike can spend years creating their perfect visual body, competing, eating healthily & exercising .
Although, in weightlifting, body building & even outside these sports, there are those who choose to risk their body's strength and health by using anabolic steroids to enhance their visual appearance.
The steroid also had proven to produce additional bone marrow and red blood cells, adjusted bone structures as well as increases appetite by what is documented to be three times the amount of an average appetite.
With this abnormal and unnatural growth, comes a series of unhealthy and unsafe risks and side effects.
This side effects include, but are not limited to:
* Violence and/or aggressive personalities
* Mania and/or psychosis promoting more possibility of attempt for suicide
* Mental disorders
* Mood alterations (especially in withdrawal and variant dosages)
* Dependence leading to drug abuse
* Increase in levels of cholesterol
* High blood pressure
* Baldness
* Infertility
* Heart disease
* Liver damage
* Hypertension
* Reduced sexual function
These are only a few of the lengthy list of side effects anabolic steroids include.
And it has never been clear as to why an individual practicing to create the appearance of a healthy body uses a harmful drug to obtain that effect.
Although, millions of individuals in the United States are abusing steroids today.
If you or anyone you know are choosing to use steroids to enhance their body's appearance, they should be reminded of the harmful and dangerous effects that come with those enhancements.
Contacting a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, or a residential treatment center, is often a good way in which to get answers regarding help for yourself or your loved one.
Try Legal Anabolics without Side Effects
One of the best and safest ways to avoid damaging your health and life is to take the perfect and 100% safe, legal bodybuilding supplements otherwise known as legal steroids to achieve awesome results.
One of the most proven bulking agents is D-Anabol supplement for faster muscle gains.
