I love this stuff! I actually went through a stage, not too long ago, where I wanted to be a reupholster! Tough work, but if your finished products looked like Andrea Ford's it would be all worth it!

Gentle readers, you will have to forgive me today. This may yet turn into a Force Seven rant, so I advise you to make sure those hatches are battened down, all small and easily excitable children and animals are seen to etc etc etc.
There are some attitudes to crafting (and indeed, those of us who do so) that I fail utterly to understand:
- Craft is an anti-feminist, retrograde enterprise and women who craft are not feminist or are setting back the cause by doing so
- People only craft/do things for themselves now because it is trendy, not out of any form of necessity, and they certainly didn't grown up doing so
- Most people who craft just make silly needless little tchotckes that are amateurish, poorly made and a waste of materials
- Craft is a waste of time when you can buy everything readymade
- People who craft do so because they aren't capable of anything more high-minded/intellectual/worthwhile
- Crafters are white, relentlessly middle-class trendy/hipsterish types
A few of these attitudes crop up in this article (published in the Observer yesterday), but the main one that caught my eye is that the last one mentioned. Those of us who craft *apparently* only do so because we are unwilling or incapable (mostly the latter but also both) of doing anything more serious. You know, worthwhile. Knocking out shapeless jumpers in front of the Late Late (oh, Fintan, such fail!) instead of reading, or running businesses, or.. well, something *useful*:
"But I am uncomfortable with the subtext to some of the more modish incarnations of doing things with your hands. Why do women want to embroider when they could be reading Hegel?"
This article is hardly the worst offender. It does hit the main knocking-craft bingos mentioned i.e. crafters waste their time making rubbish ("Why do people insist on bedecking their houses with homemade candles and old mirrors adorned by an inept mosaic frame, when all these things are clearly both hideous and slightly creepy?"), crafting is boring and takes a long time and is not usually worth the bother ("Luckily, I already have a scarf. I bought it with money I had earned by going to work instead of staying at home and making things.") and aren't people only doing it because it's trendy? (the "modish" reference above) but it saves us most of the more sexist, classist and patronising assumptions and inferences, I suppose.
I'm not so thin-skinned that these attitudes upset me or put me off, but I find them desperately tired and boring. Change the record, please! I've no interest in trotting out my intellectual/'useful' bona fides just to prove a point. I make things from necessity, because I love to do so, because of curiosity and largely because for me, a day without making things or experimenting is not my kind of day. My crafting kin have these reasons and more for what they do. We're not represented in the prevailing narratives; we're not bored and witless fashionistas, and neither do we pine for a time when women knew their place. We're curious about the world, we love history, we love colour theory, we love the communal element of crafting and most of all, we love the satisfaction of something well-made, long-lasting and utterly, utterly unique.

Yesterday's price action saw the currency cross break through the 50- and 100-day moving averages, and it now looks like it may build on this momentum.
Today the European Union posted its flash quarterly GDP figures, which have shown that the region is continuing to make economic progress. This coincides with the EUR/USD creeping higher over the last two weeks, when there has been a general absence of negative news flow out of the EU.
During this time we have also seen Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen conduct her first speech in front of Congress, where she outlined the Federal Open Market Committee's decision to continue along the path of tapering the US debt-purchasing scheme. It is hard to believe anyone did not see this coming, as it had been signposted for many months, and as such it should not have affected the market's perception of US dollar strength.
Once again the 1.3700 level looks to be causing trouble; without a strong move through this level, and preferably a close above it, questions will continue to be asked about the pair's ability to continue in this direction. Considering that the US is closed for President's Day on Monday, when equity traders though not currency houses will be closed, a touch more caution should be exercised.

About Me
I'm 27 years old and a graduate of Alderson-Broaddus College, where I earned my B.S. in Biology. I have a license in insurance and am a Commercial Lines Client Service Agent and Tech at Allegheny Insurance Services. It's nowhere near what I thought I would be doing for a living, but surprise! I actually kind of love it.
I have the most amazing family and group of friends around.
I bought my first horse on August 10, 2011, and he usually takes up a lot of my writing on here! Owning and working with him has been the most amazing, sometimes frustrating, as well as rewarding, thing I have ever done. His personality is awesome, though his stubborn streak is a mile wide. He loves babies of all kinds. Once you have his respect, he will do anything for you.
I recently bought my first house with my boyfriend, and I'll be sharing some of the adventures we have as new homeowners. Our house was built in 1938. It's been quite the experience so far!
Stick around and experience the life of a girl who is crazy about horses, animals, and writing. It's bound to get interesting at times and always filled with surprises and great people!

Ft. Bend animal shelter hosting urgent adoption special
FORT BEND - It's so crowded at Fort Bend Animal Services, that some of the smaller dogs are tripling up in cages. Yes, it's that bad.
"Right now we are at a crisis. We need to move dogs, and move them fast into adoptive homes or into rescues." says adoption coordinator Barbara Vass.
Ft. Bend Animal Services is built to hold 78 dogs, and right now there are 110 here. But that only tells part of the story. They are responsible for 700-square miles of unincorporated Ft. Bend County. They have no vet here or vet tech, and the dogs keep on coming.
"Right now we are averaging between 40-60 dogs a week, so if we adopt fifty this week, we will be full before the week begins again. We're having some trouble staying ahead of the problem" says Vass.
But they are trying. They are having a Super Bowl week adoption special. Fifty bucks to walk out the door with a dogs that has had it's shots, been spayed or neutered, and micro chipped.
They already have have been actively getting out the word on social media. It's especially important for dogs on the PUSH list. That stands for Pets Urgently Seeking Homes.
To be blunt about it, between the overcrowding and the constant arrivals, some may have to be euthanized.
"It's not our goal but the harsh reality is if we can't find a home for some of these dogs that will happen." says Vass.

Anti-Aging Skin Care: The Power of Collagen
One of the reasons that skin ages in the first place is that the body produces less and less collagen over time. Collagen is a spongy, bouncy, healthy protein that is not just located in the skin but is located all around the physical body, including bone tissues, ligaments and also muscular tissues. In the skin, bovine collagen is discovered in the dermis, the skin level right beneath the epidermis as well as the stratum corneum, the protective coating from the skin tissues at the very best.
Collagen remains pliable and also abundant until an individual is actually in their 30s when the threads begin to loosen up a little bit of bit and fatty tissue found in the lower layers of the skin start to gather in the trenches. The result is that the skin does not spring back after it's drawn. Just how comprehensive this actually relies on the individual's genetics as well as environmental factors such as if they are sun worshippers, if they smoke or if they are revealed to poisonous substances and also toxins.
Collagen as Dermal Filler
Considering that bovine collagen is, therefore, necessary to the suppleness of the skin, dermatologists, as well as institutions, have located a technique to return that to individuals whose skin is collagen exhausted. This is through creating bovine collagen a skin filler that is infused into an arid, flat or even wrinkled region from the deal with an alright needle. Though other dermal fillers use compounds such as polylactic acid or even hyaluronic acid, bovine collagen fillers have remained in making use of for a more extended amount of your time and are still well-liked.
Kinds of Collagen
Both kinds of collagen made use of as dermal fillers are produced from bovine collagen or even bovine collagen extracted from individual skeletons. Both of these styles from bovine collagen are taken off the skin and very purified. Regardless of this, the individual who prefers bovine collagen fillers must be checked to create sure they are not adverse these items. The allergic reaction fee for bovine collagen dermal fillers concerns 3 to 4 percent.
The allergy test takes about a pair of months as well as consists of the skin doctor administering microscopic volumes of bovine collagen into the skin from the patient's forearm. The person additionally needs to address inquiries the health professional has about their healthcare history.
The Procedure
When the person has shown that they're not allergic to collagen, they return to the professional's office. The professional administers a topical numbing cream to the individual's skin that is actually to be given the injections. The syringe itself has both bovine collagen as well as an additional anesthetic like lidocaine. This aids to lessen the distress the client may feel.
The bovine collagen is after that infused into the dermis, where the client's collagen is found. The therapy often has between 15 mins and a half an hour, relying on just how much of the skin is dealt with.
There are also various products now on the market that features collagen in it. If you do not consider going to a professional and wants a more do it yourself treatment in the comfort of your own home, you may want to try check neck firming creams, eye creams and other over the counter products that promises anti-aging results that collagen in it.
Facial fillers are all outpatient treatments, so the individual can go home after they have rested a little bit along with an ice bag mashed to the shot locations. There are going to be some swelling for sometimes, and also if the individual bruises effortlessly, they could experience some bruising. The treatment is very risk-free. However, threats are a hypersensitive reaction as well as an eruption from oral herpes. The sensitive response could also occur in people that passed the allergic reaction exam, though this is rare. A person who possesses a background of fever blisters might prefer to acquire some anti-viral medicine before they possess the collagen treatments to be on the risk-free edge.
For How Long Collagen Last?
Collagen is thought about a temporary filler, as well as this is among its perks. Gradually this is just absorbed through the physical body. A person who skin is damaged could have to go back for a servicing browse through after 2 or three months, but an individual who skin is much younger could not need a touch-up treatment for as long as 18 months. Areas that move a whole lot, including the eyebrows or the mouth, may additionally "utilize up" their shop of collagen swiftly. Cigarette smokers consistently locate that their facial fillers don't last as long as other individuals. C

10 Must Try Weight Loss Motivation Tips That Might Change Your Life
Most people know they need to lose weight. They see it in the mirror, they feel it when they put their clothes on and the low self-confidence and self-esteem reminds them every day. But, for many finding the motivation to lose the weight, even when they know they need to is something else.
This is very common, and most overweight people struggle with the motivation factor their whole life.
But, motivation is essential for weight loss, no matter if you need to lose 10 or 100 pounds, it's the most important element of success. In fact, if it was easy to lose, obesity would not be worldwide epidemic that it has become.
It is important to realize that losing weight is well worth the effort because it has many benefits.
The Benefits of Weight Loss
- Improves health
- Makes people much more energetic
- Makes people look great
- Makes people feel great
- It's mentally rewarding
- It prevents lots of diseases associated with obesity, like, diabetes, heart diseases, stroke and cancers, just to mention a few.
Where to Find Motivation
Finding weight loss motivation is all about changing one's perspective. While many consider dieting a hassle, too hard and inconvenient, this is the wrong thinking.
Think instead of learning to eat healthier and make better choices, one food and one day at a time. For example, choose an apple instead of a donut. Eat vegetables for a side dish instead of fries.
Evaluate the food you eat and take a close look at your daily calorie intake. Start walking daily, then increase your workouts as you get healthier. These are just a few examples of action steps you can take right away.
Know that there are some great supplements on the market that can help you achieve your diet goals. Products like green tea and forskolin extract (See where to buy Forskolin here), can boost your metabolism and give you a head start on losing weight.
10 Great Weight Loss Motivation Tips
- Put a picture of your old self in plain sight. The worst picture you can find that really upsets you in regards to your weight. Each and every time you want to cheat, skip workouts or otherwise blow your diet plan look at the picture.
- Make a list of the reasons you want to lose weight. Make the list nice and long and readable. Write down how you would feel if you don't lose the weight. And, also write down how awful it will be if you lose some and then regain it if you quit and waste all the effort.
- Each morning remind yourself of your reasons to want to lose weight, check your lists and read them out loud. Consider how you will feel if you don't lose weight and those reasons go out the window.
- Ask for help. Accountability is really good for motivation for weight loss. A friend, nutritional counselor or family member that creates some accountability is really helpful.
- Celebrate the successes. It is very important to celebrate each success. Establish a reward for each 5 or 10 pound loss. A movie, a new outfit, or anything you enjoy to make a big deal out of those success.
- This helps with motivation and also makes it harder to throw it all away should you want to quit.
- Set goals. It's important to have goals in writing. Set short and long term goals, stick with them, mark off achievements as you go.
- Envision success. Imagine yourself fit on a daily basis. Imagine how you will look in a smaller size outfit. If you have one, hang that outfit that doesn't fit in plain sight so you can see it daily. Look at pictures of fit bodies or whoever you want to look like to remind you of your goals. Do this daily.
- Be good to yourself. If you have a relapse and do cheat, don't beat yourself up.
- Think lifestyle change, not temporary diet plan. The motivation cannot be short term, it must be lifelong to maintain fitness. Diets are temporary, learn to eat right, change your bad habits and the magic will happen.
Choose the right weight loss method, this can often be the key to long term success. Many over extend themselves by choosing fad diets that cannot possibly bring long term and lasting results. They also choose diets they cannot follow and just set themselves up for failure. Choose wisely and it will keep you motivated for the long term.

Kobo Aura One EReader Review
The first thing I noticed about the Kobo Aura One is how nice it is to hold. I know that might sound a little strange, but it was really comfortable to hold so you know you'll be comfortable sat reading away. It was also really easy to use, once you've unlocked the screen you're greeted with a dashboard which shows you the books you're reading, as well as a selection of related, and recommended books. What I liked is how it told me how far through a book I was, and how much time was left in the book, I just like to know these kind of things so this really pleased me! It would also give you awards as you went along reading, which for someone like me would definitely encourage me to read more! I used the Kobo Aura One with the default settings as these worked for me, but you could adjust the settings with over 50 font sizes and 11 font types. You've also got the option to bookmark certain pages that you want to go back to, and you can even share quotes and comments from the book onto your Facebook timeline which was pretty nifty.
What was nice to know as well was just how much storage the Kobo Aura One had available, 8GB to be exact, that's around 6,000 books! I remember when I used to go on family holidays many moons ago and I used to pack a whole suitcase of books to get me through the holiday, imagine now only having to take away this small eReader instead! It's also got a battery life of one month, and I used this quite a lot over the two week trial and the battery had only just made it past the half way point.
* I was sent the Kobo Aura One for a 2 week trial, views are all my own

It is kind of sad that my husband's sisters and their cousin are back in Missouri after Charles' birthday. How I wish we lived closer so we can get to see them all the time. So we had our breakfast at Copeland's and we all love the brunch buffet. As much as I want to eat more and enjoy my meal I couldn't do it. Charles kept on saying he wasn't feeling very good and was laying on the bench. On our way home Charles doesn't want to go home and wants to go to the store. We droved back going to the mall and we went to Cabela's. Cabela's is an outdoor shop and just opened at the end of August. We thought we could find something for Charles like shoes but we did not. On our way home we stopped at Academy Sports and Outdoors and found shoes for Charles that my husband and Charles both really liked. I really don't like them because I had other shoes that I like for Charles. Oh well, it was Charles' choice so that's fine.

In its bid to bridge the gap between real estate prices and existing sector rates, the Gurgaon district administration has jacked up the circle rates for the second time on Sunday. The revised rate will result in a 5-20% increase in circle rates of properties in Gurgaon from Monday.
The revised rates, according to property experts, might not have much of an impact on the real estate prices but it will make property registration a costly affair. The lowest increase in the circle rate will be in the case of properties falling in areas like Farukh Nagar, Pataudi and Manesar that are outside the already declared residential, commercial and industrial zones. The circle rate will witness a 20% increase in case of colonies falling under urban Gurgaon, the new city and private colonies.
Deputy commissioner R K Kataria said only few patches of land falling under areas where new sectors will come up will see an over 20% hike in the rate declared by the district administration. This has been done after studying and observing the recent trend of property registration in Gurgaon. This will also help us reduce the gap between government fixed circle rate and the actual market rate. This will also reduce the role of black money in this business, the DC added.
Market sources feel this will help little to curb the use of black money in the property sale and purchase. For example, even after the revised circle rate, one yard of residential property in DLF-I will come close to Rs 38,000 whereas prevailing market rate is Rs 1 lakh.
Kataria claimed the increase is realistic. Sources said the hike will benefit farmers and agriculture land owners since a huge chunk of their land is now being acquired by HUDA and other agencies for future development.
There is hectic buying and selling of property for future development areas such as the 2-km land around KMP Expressway, residential zones around and the southern and northern peripheral roads, Kataria said. Apart from this, the district administration has also fixed the minimum price for flats in group housing societies. In case of GHS spread over two acres, one square feet will cost Rs 3,250 and in GHS spread over more than two acres, it would be around Rs 4,000 per square feet.
The revised rate would generate more revenue for district administrationm, Kataria said.

Discover the profound concluding
section of The Urantia Book
• First five videos in the series
now available HERE on Youtube
[See written summary of
1a at bottom of this page]
• Six total recorded videos
• Speaker: Byron Belitsos
• Covers Papers 170-195 in UB
• Available free for subscribers

The New Testament offers a profound chronicle of the life of Jesus. But humanity has evolved tremendously since the four Gospels and the Epistles were penned. Followers of Jesus are ready for an updated depiction of who Christ was and is. The Esoteric Easter series, which began on March 12 of 2018, grows from that conviction.
This series of talks and discussions, presented as a free service, offers a refreshed vision of Jesus and his teachings as we head toward Easter 2018 (April 1). We continue afterwards until April 16 as we follow the expanded description of Jesus's resurrection appearances as uniquely revealed in The Urantia Book.
Open-minded Christians need to see Jesus in a new light—especially the esoteric side of his teachings and the spiritual practices he taught. This study and commentary provided by Byron Belitsos, acclaimed author of Your Evolving Soul, is based on the revelatory unveiling of the life of Jesus presented in The Urantia Book, but also tracks for comparison with the traditional biblical accounts. We will focus especially on the last week of Jesus's life, which was traditionally known as Holy Week or the Passion of Jesus. Because of the modernized story of Christ presented in the Urantia text, we can look beneath the old biblical narrative for an account of the hidden side of these events that have remained unrevealed until now. We will cover:
• The divinity of the cosmic Christ—a postmodern view of his incarnation
• The gospel teaching in its full flowering as presented anew in the Urantia text
• A fuller account of why Jesus entered Jerusalem to confront the Jewish leaders
• Jesus's heretofore unrevealed teachings to the Apostles in his final days on Earth
• A modern look at the death on the cross, stripped of the blood-atonement teaching
• The lost story of the crucial role of Mary Magdelene and the women apostles
• A new description of the resurrection of Lazurus and Jesus's own resurrection
• The import of Jesus's final appearances after his resurrection
• The story of Pentecost and its unfolding ever since
If you are not a subscriber to EvolvingSouls.org,

These talks are for those who recognize the divinity of Jesus but are ready for a new understanding of his divine mission. I believe that advanced Christians are ready to strip away the mythological interpretations of Jesus's life—especially regarding the dramatic story of Easter. Much more narrative detail is needed in our challenging time than that which was provided in the four Gospels.
Again, this series of presentations will begin on March 12. Regular subscribers will receive notice of five recorded talks, one on Monday of each week through April 16. You're invited to listen in and read along, beginning with Paper 170 and ending with Paper 195 in The Urantia Book. We will cover about five papers with each discussion. Follow along as Jesus enters Jerusalem to revolutionize our world forever, and thrill yourself with a new revelation of Jesus.

"The fullness of the gospel of Jesus
according to the Urantia Revelation"
(Now in two parts, Talk 1a and Talk 1b)
March 12, 201
Click HERE for further notice of the series!
A summary of the
primary teaching
of the gospel in Paper 170
(1) The truth of the Fatherhood of God and
(2) the fact of the brotherhood of man.
(But today we use gender-inclusive language)
The last word:
"Kingdom is within you"
(The transcendent God of heaven is immanent in the human heart)
Key precepts:
• Recognize the universal sovereignty of God, our loving Creator
• Realize your sonship or daughtership with this infinite God
(Because we each received unique personality + God Fragment within)
• Have faith in the effectiveness of doing the will of God
To consciously enter this "family of God," two things are essential:
(1) Sincere faith and (2) hunger for the truth
Faith with sincerity:
To enter with the attitude of a child who is open-minded and teachable;
to so deeply trust in God's transcendent wisdom that we sincerely seek God's will rather than our own limited will.
Truth hunger:
To use truth-seeking awareness to become more like God. Further, to reach in each moment for the highest possible value, which is to choose to do the will of God; and, to support that activity, we create a philosophy of living around the highest values: truth, beauty, and goodness.
Faith and truth-hunger catalyze a series of transactions
– It begins with humble faith + love of truth as the "entrance fee"
– God forgives us in exchange for paying this "price"
– We become aware that God's merciful love was always present
– This awareness of divine love grows as we love and forgive others
Five cardinal features of the gospel of the kingdom:
The pre-eminence of the individual.
(Each person is sacred and has "spiritual rights")
The centrality of human will—its priority over thought and feeling
(Decisions enable soul evolution which in turn leads to eternal life)
Communion with God
(Our core practice is the consciousness of divine presence within)
Joy of loving service
("Love one another as I have loved you, with joy and delight")
The transcendence of the spiritual over the material
(A healthy body is a beloved vehicle that supports our spiritual attainments)

THORSTEN STUCKMANN is urging Doncaster Rovers to get ugly in their survival quest.
After a dismal derby performance at Scunthorpe in midweek, Rovers are immediately afforded a stage to get back in supporters' good books at Bradford this afternoon, but bragging rights is the last thing in the club's thoughts.
Survival points and ending a horror 10-match winless streak is the only thing occupying the thoughts of players, according to goalkeeper Stuckmann, who says that Rovers need to start showing their appetite for the battle in the games and weeks ahead.
Stuckmann said: "I don't think we are a soft touch. When you look at teams like Scunthorpe, they have a midfield which is nowhere near the quality of ours, footballing-wise.
"But what they have got with (Neal) Bishop and (Stephen) Dawson is players who kick everything and win the second balls. We can do this as we have Keegs (Paul Keegan), Luke (McCullough) and Chappy (Richard Chaplow) and others like that with experience to know we can do this
"We can do the ugly side and we have shown this a few times, we showed it at Southend and Oldham away. We were fighting for our lives and throwing bodies on the line there and just have to remember this.
"If you do the ugly bit first, you earn the right to play your football."
A prime example of what Rovers are missing was provided by Bradford in the reverse fixture at the Keepmoat, when Phil Parkinson's side produced a workaholic if unspectacular team performance which merited three points.
Stuckmann says Rovers must endeavour to do something akin to that at Valley Parade, while also coping with City's physicality.
He added: "We just have to accept that the conditions won't be as good as we would hope to play on, as the pitch is usually horrendous at Bradford and we have to play the conditions at the moment.
"We have to challenge them and win the second balls and do the scrappy bit first. If you do the basics right, especially against teams like Bradford, and win your individual battles on the pitch, your luck will turn."

Hi, and welcome to my piece of the interwebs. You can call me June (not so clever as Cleaver). After losing my longtime job while pregnant, I found myself in a position I had never imagined – housewife, to the husband I'll call Clark (yes, as in Griswold). Add a depressed economy, pitiful job market and a need for child care to one little guy known as Pumpkin, and I became the unintended SAHM. What?! I'm so not domesticated in any sense of the word… until lately. The thing is, "Who knew this could be so darn hard?"
"Feet of clay" is an expression that comes from the Bible (Daniel 2:31-35) and represents a person's hidden fault or weakness. To be sure, I have countless flaws and weaknesses, but the one that continues to stick out like a sore thumb in my mind is my pure ineptitude at being a stay-at-home mom. Or rather running a house and living on some semblance of a budget, helping a small person grow and develop, nurturing a loving marriage, maintaining relationships and a social life, building my professional skills and staying relevant all while not going absolutely bats#$% crazy!
So this is my outlet- the place where I put the skills I love and enjoy to use, clear the cobwebs in my head, document my attempts -both successful and failing- at all things domestic and hopefully entertain at least one other kindred spirit who has ever thought, "What am I supposed to be doing with this kid, why did I come into this room, and for crying out loud WHAT DAY IS IT?"

Inspired by Accept's new masterpiece, Teutonic Terror, I thought it appropriate to cast my eye over thousands of classic metal music vids to pick out the 10 Most Metal Videos Of All Time.
10. Hammerfall – By Any Means Necessary
This is by no means a good song. It is in fact the foetus of a song, lacking any serious development or progression. That said, it is more metal than Optimus Prime's left bollock & its brain-dead chorus will be stuck in your head for the next decade. As if Oscar Dronjak's red leather trousers, waistcoat & silly face aren't enough, we also get Joacim Cans blowing up a whole town just for our amusement.
9. Nitro – Freight Train
Michael Angelo Batio's status as one of the greatest shredders in the world could have carried Nitro alone but paired with Jim Gillette's ball-shattering vocals, the end result is entirely unique & massively hilarious. 4 stage hands lost their lives constructing Gillette's majestic perm (possibly) but the highlight of the video has to be at the 2:17 mark where Batio summons the greatest guitar known to mankind before launching into 40 seconds of fretboard gymnastics.
8. Loudness – You Shook Me
Japan's biggest contribution to the world of heavy metal meets one of America's greatest vocalist for this slice of late eighties Power Rangers inspiring magic. Low budget special effects include Akira Takasaki's earthquake-generating solo destroying a scale model of the Hollywood sign.
7. Lionsheart – Can't Believe
Leave The Hall's favourite frontman of all time, Steve Grimmett, channels Coverdale in a ballad of epic proportions. Smoke, guitarists in the rafters & cheese-tastic vocal harmonies make this video a forgotten classic, even if the band don't seem to know the words. Only Grimmett could pull this off.
6. Accept – Balls To The Wall
One of the definitive heavy metal anthems, Accept's signature tune has an undeniably brilliant video. An army of metallers headbang their way through a wall & Udo DirkschneiderA?rides a wrecking ball through a church. What more could you ask for?
5. Savatage – Hall of the Mountain King
Jon Oliva & company hassle a midget in a cave in this video. It's alright though because the midget turns out to be aA?thieving, little bastard. What does he get for his troubles? A copy of Savatage's latest album onA?cassette. A?An allegorical tale, this video taught me that it's ok to steal from the elderly.
4. Manowar – Return of the Warlord
A day in the life of Manowar. Taking your hogs out for ride, picking up prostitutes, playing below-average guitar solos & then spraying the crowd with champagne. Say what you will about them, they are almost certainly more metal than you.
3. Candlemass – Bewitched
Even if you hate Candlemass, and you are a cunt if you do, there's a good chance you'll have seen this. It crops up pretty regularly in lists of the worst metal videos of all time. These lists are almost certainly composed by morons in Trivium t-shirts.
2. Judas Priest – Hot Rockin'
If there were ever a song for getting pumped in the gym (or bum), this is it. Priest managed to pull a massive crowd for this video shoot of over 5 people. Note, at 31 seconds, when bassist Ian Hill fucks his line. An incident far less embarrassing than that of drummer Dave Holland who in 2004 fucked something else; a special child.
1. Grim Reaper – Fear No Evil
Here at Leave the Hall, we've got a bit of a Grimmett fetish & after watching this video, you will too. In it, he invades Death's castle using some sort of post-Apocalyptic Mad Max meets Braveheart style tank. After freeing some slaves by breaking their chains with his bare hands, he murders a werewolf with a massive stone slab. Death promptly shits a brick & fucks right off. Grimmett 1 – Death 0.

Which rings are the chain in, front and back, when you spin? Do you shift in the front chain rings at all?
I can't tell much from your post, but perhaps read this by Sheldon Brown, then get back to us and be more specific with questions?
Tire size does not affect shifting in any significant way, other than the fact that a smaller wheel have to rotate more times to travel the same distance. I think this is probably a shifting technique issue.
Can you tell us the exact make, model, and year of the bike so we can look up the groupset? Do you know what brand groupset is on the bike? Maybe shimano? Also what numbers you see on the front chainrings? ARe there two chainrings in front, or three? Also, how many cogs are in the back? Are there any numbers on the back cog/cassette? If so, what are they?

Source : Article Base
Miscellaneous Sivananda Yoga Poses
Folks, we have been going over- in the last several articles in the Yoga Category-the Famed Sivananda style of yoga .
Thus far, here is a re-cap of what we have covered.
1. Sun Salutations.
2. Inversions: The Head and Shoulder Stand and Their Counter-Poses
3. The Forward Bends and Their Counter-Poses
4. The Backward Bends and Their Counter-Poses
5. The Balancing Exercises
and finally,
6. The Sitting & Standing Exercises.
However, there are other poses that I have not discussed and I will now touch briefly on them.
Miscellanous Yoga Poses:
The following poses are provided as alternatives to the slightly more challenging ones such as the Side plank replacing the Crow. They are highly effective as well and should be approached with the same precision as the previously mentioned poses.
Side Plank Pose (Vasisthasana)
This pose is a powerful arm and wrist strengthener and might also be called the One-Arm Balance. Here you are balanced on the same-side hand and outer foot, with your torso and legs aligned at a 45-degree angle with the floor.
Technique: Start off in the plank pose (position 5 in Sun Exercises) Turn the whole body sideways to the left. The outer side of the left foot should rest firmly on the floor. Place the right foot over the left one and keeping the body straight, balance.
This strengthens the arms and belly and tones the lumbar and coccyx region of the spine.
Four-Limbed Staff Pose (Chaturanga Dandasana)
Chaturanga Dandasana is the challenging yoga push-up frequently practiced as part of the traditional Sun Salutation sequence. (Pregnant women should avoid this pose)
Lie flat on the floor facing downwards.
Bend the elbows and place the palms by the side of the chest.
Keep the feet about a foot apart. Now raise the whole body a few inches of the floor balancing it on the hands and the toes. Keep the body stiff as a staff,
parallel to the floor from head to heel and the knees taut. Stay in the pose for 10-30 seconds.
This pose
-Strengthens the arms and wrists
-Contracts and tones the abdominal muscles
-Eradicates lethargy.
Leg Split (Anjaneyasana):
Stretch the right foot back as far as possible.
Keep the left foot flat on the floor with the knees bending.
Raise the hands above the head and slowly pull backward until the hands, spine and legs have the appearance of a semicircle. Hip Joints are exercised and the legs are made to move freely in all directions.
The spine is stretched and any defect in the lower spine is cured. Furthermore it tones the legs and makes them shapely and has marked effects on toning the arms.
Duration: 15 Seconds to 1 minute each way
Lord of the Dance Pose: (Natarajasana):
Stand Erect.
Now bend the right leg at the knee and grasp the big toe and pull towards the head
This especially tones the leg and spine muscles. It also stretches the arm and shoulder joints. For women along with Vajrasan, and the eagle pose, this pose can also be performed during pregnancy at your discretion.
Duration: 15 seconds to 1 minute.
Eagle Pose (Garudasana):
Stand Erect. Lift the right leg and twist it over the left leg. Cross the elbows in front with the left elbow on top, and press the arms together. Reverse the position and stand on the right leg.
This pose strengthens the calf muscles and reduces extra fat from the thighs. It also tones the arms and shoulders considerably. It is a great pose women looking to enhance a graceful figure.
Duration: 15 seconds to 1 minute.
So there you have it folks, even more yoga poses that you can incorporate into you routine for the practice of the Sivananda Yoga Style.

Marketing and Lousy First Dates
High-tech marketing is often like a bad first date, where the person across from you goes on and on about himself. Then finally he pauses: "But enough about me. Let's talk about things I like to do."
That's often the case with high-tech companies, startups especially. They go on and on about their technology and how it works. Then they pause: "But enough about features. Let's talk specifications."
This blog will help you avoid the mistakes high-tech companies—and specifically startups—make. More importantly, it will be about how to bypass these mistakes in the first place. My Crowded Ocean co-founder, Lisa Busby, and I will share ideas and best practices learned during our careers in high tech – from the 20+ startups we've launched to our experience working at or with the Big Boys (Oracle, Lucent, Cisco, Siebel, Salesforce).
Our agency, Crowded Ocean, is based on a simple premise: Most startups are founded by technologists who don't know how to bring their products to market. They're great at features and specs, not so strong on solutions and benefits. That's why the VCs bring us in.
Back to that bad first date. It would have been better if the guy had stopped himself and said, "But enough about me. Let's talk about you." Better yet if he'd started with: "Tell me about yourself."
If you're a startup, don't listen to your older high-tech brother but rather from his consumer marketing friends, they can tell you everything about your target audience. Consumer companies must connect with their target audiences better (and by 'connect' I mean interview, go to their place of work, find out not only what keeps them up at night but what can get them fired). A little background homework before your first date can do wonders.
The Marketing Best Practice is: Connect to your audience before writing a single line of code. The result will be solutions, not products. You'll have a much greater chance at success!
If you are a startup company or venture capital investor and you'd like to know how Crowded Ocean can be implemented to help startups take those first critical steps in the right direction, just drop us a line.

Working Capital Financing and Credit Appraisal
Nigeria is committed to a national environmental policy that will ensure sustainable development based on proper management of the environment. This demands positive and realistic planning that balances human needs against the carrying capacity of the environment. This requires that a number of complementary policies, strategies and management approaches are put in place which should ensure, among others, that:
environmental concerns are integrated into major economic decision- making process;
environmental remediation costs are built into major development projects; economic instruments are employed in the management of natural resources; environmentally friendly technologies are applied;
Environmental Impact Assessment is mandatorily carried out before any major development project is embarked on.
This policy, in order to succeed must be built on the following sustainable development principles:
The precautionary principle which holds that where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, the lack of full scientific knowledge shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective means to prevent environmental degradation; *
Pollution Prevention Pays Principle (3p+) which encourages Industry to invest positively to prevent pollution;
The polluter pays principle (PPP) which suggests that the polluter should bear the cost of preventing and controlling pollution;
The user pays principle (UPP), in which the cost of a resource to a user must include all the environmental costs associated with its extraction, transformation and use (including the costs of alternative or future uses forgone);
The principle of intergenerational equity which requires that the needs of the present generation are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs;
The principle of intra-generational equity which requires that different groups of people within the country and within the present generation have the right to benefit equally from the exploitation of resources and that they have an equal right to a clean and healthy environment; and
The subsidiary principle which requires that decisions should as much as possible be made by communities affected or on their behalf by the authorities closest to them. This new policy thrust is based on fundamental re-thinking and a clearer appreciation of the interdependent linkages among development processes, environmental factors as well as human and natural resources. Since development remains a national priority, it is recognized that the actions designed to increase the productivity of the society and meet the essential needs of the populace must be reconciled with environmental issues that had hitherto been neglected or not given sufficient attention.
In enunciating a national policy on the environment, cognisance must be taken of the various institutional settings and professional groupings, as well as the complex historical, social, cultural and legal considerations which have been and continue to be involved, in the identification and implementation of measures designed to solve national environmental problems. The provisions of the Policy have thus been informed by recent national policy initiatives in Science and Technology, Agriculture, Health, Industry, Oil and Gas, Population, Culture, etc., as well as major international efforts in the field of environment. The Policy aims to provide a rational, practicable, coherent and comprehensive approach to the pursuit of economic and social development in a way that minimizes contradictions and duplications, while enhancing inter and intrasectoral co-operation and effectiveness at all levels. Since the health and welfare of all Nigerians depend on making the transition to sustainable development as rapid as possible, this National Policy on the Environment provides the concepts and strategies which will lead to the...

23-Liter Onida Convection Oven Smart Chef MO23CWS11S
In India, the leadership position of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese brands in kitchen appliances market is coming to end now as desi brands like Onida have started reinvesting themselves for today's requirement. This article is all about an Onida convection Oven, which despite having lots of smart features and a huge capacity, is priced quite economically.
Priced at 9500 rupees, the Onida microwave Oven comes with 23 liters capacity; this makes it quite suitable for four to eight member families. Let us find out more about this unique kitchen appliance.
A Convection-type Microwave oven: Among all the three types of microwave oven, the convection-type is much smarter in cooking delicious food. In fact, the auto cook feature, which letting cook any complex recipe with lots of ease by following pre-defined steps, is only found on convection-type ovens. Furthermore, a convection oven can be used like a grill oven but a grill oven cannot be for donning feature of convection-type ovens.
Since we have now stabilized the fact that this Onida oven belongs to an elite class let us see what its top features are. And, with those, can we really say it is rightly priced at 9500 rupees.
This Onida Oven has an Inbuilt Weighing Machine
Just because of the inbuilt weighing scale – following any auto cook menu becomes a lot easier. Onida's design engineers should be complemented for this concept. The first step of proceeding with an auto cook menu is to weigh all the ingredients listed then mixed them together accordingly. This is though not so tedious but not so easy as well.
The inbuilt weighing scale on this microwave oven, however, lets users free from these hassles. Collect all the needed ingredients in separate bowl and transfer into a big bowl inside the oven by measuring them one by one. If my cooking experience says correctly, this could save one-quarter of the total cooking time.
Calories Meter: This feature is another good reason why I am right in saying India's desi brands now investing in things that are according to today's need. The calories meter on this is a certification of that. We all read levels on packed food for finding calories. I think this is high time we start doing that in our home, too.
This is Onida's signature feature as I haven't seen it on any other Microwave ovens so far. Essentially, it evaluates recipe and gives a close to accurate calories number. This could help eater to decide what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat.
Cook Variety of Indian Dishes using its 10 Power Levels
The Onida oven has an effective 10 power levels system. This provides lots of flexibility for users in setting the right power level according to the food cooking in. Further, it burns 1200W electricity in convection & grill mode. Its power output is 800W, though.
Installation and Demo: LG, although the most trusted consumer electronics brand in Bharat no longer provides free installation on most of its products. But Onida won't disappoint you on this point. Post delivery call to Onida and request for a demo & installation service. This will indeed be helpful in a long run in terms of harnessing all the features of the product as well as knowing well the safety aspect.
Cooking Features: This Oven has some 123 auto cook menus, wherein 66 are only for cooking Indian foods. You will agree with me this is more than enough. Even if you cook one Indian food a day, it will take more than two months in repeating the first menu. This much variety is more than enough to have a life with lots of good Indian food. Have no doubt Indian food is the best in the world. The only condition is one should know how to cook well. It also comes with a feature to keep food warm; a much-needed feature for Indian homes.
Other Noted Features of this Convection Microwave Oven
For control management, there are some buttons and a feature touch panel for hassle-free cooking. It also comes with the deforest mode. Having a TIMER function is the first thing that makes a Kitchen appliance smart, so that is inbuilt on this, too. Although not see-through but has a designer door beside a turntable and stainless steel cavity on this Onida microwave oven.
Pro Features:-
- Inbuilt weighing scale and Calories meter
- Free demo and installation
- Brilliant Design
- Smart and user-friendly control panel
- 66 Indian auto cook menu, keep warm, and 10 power level
- Price is very accurate
Conclusion: Currently, we are working on an LG microwave oven review. The features of the LG oven are mind-blowing. In fact, the oven could do numbers of traditional Indian things like making Ghee. I have brought details of the LG microwave oven just to present a comparative point of view as where technology has reached now. But remember, LG isn't going to sell that so cheap.
Coming to this Onida product, in a budget below 10000 rupees, at present, this is the best oven in terms of features. In fact, Onida is giving more but demanding less money for it. For Onida Smart Chef MO23CWS11S convection microwave oven, GS's rating is a must buy.

Greetings from SE London
September 13, 2017, 03:27:07 PM »
Hi. Been lurking here for a couple of weeks reading through the great info and support and thought it was about time I said hi! Apologies this ended up being quite a long post!!
I'm nearly 50 and I've had symptoms for probably 15, maybe 20 years (maybe longer but I think looking back on it they peaked when I went through a sustained period in a very stressful job, divorce and threat of redundancy and have never recovered since!). About 8-10 years ago (I forget now!) I went to my GP and was told that I was getting older so should be 'tired' and to take some Vitamin C, leaving with the feeling of being laughed out of the surgery, wasting the doctors time etc and therefore didn't do anything further until recently and lived with my symptoms (not helped by my low self-esteem and confidence either).
After comments from friends and family about how I'm always so much more tired that everyone else etc, and a few bad crash episodes after particularly heavy and stressful periods, I finally plucked up the courage to return to my GP and chose one of the doctors that my wife recommended from good experiences she'd had. A complete change of view, he listened to what I said and sent me for blood tests to rule out things like Thyroid issues. These all came back 'normal' and without prompting he suggested that he things I have CFS and has now referred me to the local mental health (not because he thinks I'm depressed but to help with the mood swings) and the CFS centre of excellence in SE London.
So, currently I am undiagnosed but suspected of having CFS - pending further tests I would imagine once the referral comes through.
OK, so how do I feel, well today is a good day, I'm only exhausted (made worse by having to stand on my 40 min train journey into work this morning), shoulders and neck ache, throbbing headache across the forehead, brain is fogged and concentrating is hard. But as I said, today is a good day.
I seem to have the classic symptoms (albeit what is termed a 'mild' version) and of course every day is different, but on no day can I say that I dont have several (most?) of these at some level.
Fatigue - every day to some level, bad days hardly able to get up/perform basic tasks. I may wake feeling 'ok' but by the time I've had a shower etc I'm knackered.
Delayed onset of flu like symptoms following any heavy periods of stress and exercise starting a day of so after and lasting for anything from 1 - 3 or 4 days.
Disturbed and unrefreshing sleep often waking feeling worse than when I went to sleep. Wake often during the night and unable to return to sleep even though I'm exhausted. Really vivid and strange dreams.
Headaches - every day, sometimes bad as soon as I wake, or starting low in the background and growing through the day. Mostly around the forehead above the nose/eyebrows.
Muscle aches - back and shoulders generally and quite sharp on the neck where it connects to the skull
Brain fog - lack of concentration, unable to focus, sometimes can't remember words even though I know I know them. Struggle to follow conversations particularly in group and social situations. Dizzy and disconnected feeling, balance issues or knocking into things.
Cold extremities but always feeling hot/feverish even though normal temperature and excessive sweating even in winter.
IBS type symptoms, bloated, reflux.
Sensitive to bright light and loud noises.
As I said 'mild' based on the definitions Ive read as I can lead a relatively 'normal' life by 'dealing' with the above and with restrictions and opting out of things such as avoiding work socials and crashing out at home in the evenings/weekends to recover and build up the energy for the week ahead. Im hoping that by identifying this I can start to put things into place to help manage it better and improve so that I can continue to do so without too major a change although I accept that changes will have to be made!
It's great to read posts from others here and see that I'm not alone and that there are things that can help with this condition. And of course to get help/advice on dealing with work, family and friends etc. This sort of support is immeasurable so thanks for what Ive already taken from here and what Im sure I will continue to do so in the future.
I've been referred to the Malsden @ Denmark Hill (awaiting appt) - if anyone wishes to share any experiences that would be great (although maybe I don't want to know if negative to be honest!) and of course any other advice etc gratefully received

Hi Mark,
Thanks so much for such a complete and honest introduction. Im afraid my experience of CFS clinics was negative, but that was around twelve years ago so, hopefully, things are better now. So my advice would be to go to your appointment (when you get it) with an open and optimistic mind, and see what happens if their advice works for you, great. But if it doesnt, dont give up. Im an example of someone who was told categorically that I was too old to anticipate much in the way of improvement, but they were wrong.
You CAN get well! As far as Im aware, there are no quick fixes or magic bullets, but by gaining an understanding of whats going on and working on correcting your particular issues you can at the very least improve dramatically Im 100% sure of that.
Regards getting help from this forum, keep reading and when questions arise, which they WILL do, just ask. The forums pretty quiet at the moment, but there are still people who understand where youre at right now and will help in any way they can.
Thanks again for your brilliant intro, and best wishes.
Never give up, theres always a way.

Just wanted to add a 'welcome' to Roger's post above. I too had to struggle initially to be 'heard' by my GP. She was constantly not understanding the level of my symptoms and it took several years of illness before I asked to be referred for CFS having self diagnosed it, but even then she did no blood tests! it was many years later before I had them done, even though an immunologist had diagnosed me by then (still without tests done!).
It is good news that you have managed to continue to work for such a long time despite symptoms, and you seem to have made some attempts not to push through, except for work. I am sure it will be possible to improve on some of those strategies with understanding how to pace in a deliberate kind of way.
In my opinion, we all have different types of ME/CFS since it's just a diagnosis of exclusion, and without decent blood tests to look at what is going on, it's hard to have the full picture. In my own case I know I also have autoimmune disease going on and have had a continuing struggle with some of the issues you highlight, along with an immune system that constantly is fighting the next cold. Actually I sleep fine mostly which is helpful, so I hope you find some help for that aspect, as sleep is so healing.
The problem with the NHS is that it works to the NICE guidelines and their recommendations are chiefly Graded Exercise (positively damaging for some patients despite what the 'experts' say) and CBT which may help with coping with depression but IMO is not a cure. They do sometimes cover a kind of pacing, but how that works out seems to vary. Sometimes the NHS CFS units have other people in groups and that can be helpful and supportive .... or depressing, depending on the group and the person leading it!
Anyway, as you have observed, stress can make things worse, so avoiding that as much as possible is helpful but not always possible in life.
I am sure at any rate that your symptoms can be improved, and you should find much on here to look at, maybe try yourself, depending on what you feel drawn to. As Roger said, it's rather quiet on here at the moment for people posting, but I hope you will find it helpful overall.

Mark, a belated welcome from me too - and that's the Maudsley at Denmark Hill you're talking about. I was asking the other day whether anyone had had any recent experience with them, but am not sure anyone has answered.
Can I suggest one thing which might make your life a little less stressful, from what you say? Ask your GP to sign a form for you which you can get from any railway station so that you can get yourself a Priority Seat card - both Southeastern and Southern subscribe to the system (not sure whether it would apply on the Overground since that's TfL, though) - and don't be ashamed to USE it when necessary (boy, I wish I'd take my OWN advice sometimes! - I keep telling myself that I don't need one since I don't commute any more, but you'd be surprised how many overcrowded trains I still end up on). I'm guessing from your journey length that you're probably on one of the 3 NE Kent lines somewhere, and I know those can be hell from what my former colleagues used to tell me, so if it's difficult for you to make it through the day/week then why not stack the cards in your favour a bit?

Hi again
Thanks for the welcome responses and support/suggestions. I've had a reasonable couple of weeks which has been fantastic, my wife has been awesome giving me more space, taking my little one out for the whole day so I could rest etc and I've been taking some vit B, D and Magnesium tablets after reading these suggestions in various places and I think they are helping - as I say a reasonable couple of weeks (OK still not 'normal' but a lot more bearable than previously).
I also had a call with the mental health team following my referral - they straight away said I didn't need their help (as they are more aimed at helping those with depression and worse) but they did say that they don't think the Maudsley CFS centre will help me as I won't meet their threshold as I'm not serious enough, they aim to help those who are in serious pain/can't even get out of bed etc. Guess we'll see if I get a referral appt from them, but I'm not holding my breath now and will have to continue to self help by making changes to my lifestyle and investigating other things that have been shared on places like these forums.
The only thing they did mention was that my borough have a scheme under the Improved Access to Psychological Theraphy for helping those with milder mental health issues that you can self refer to - they seem to offer 1-1 and group counselling, CBT and even a Chronic Pain and Fatigue Workshop so I'll investigate that further too - don't know if it's a national thing/only some boroughs etc but might be of interest to some of the other members here if not already aware.
Hope everyone is doing OK and managing their respective conditions.

Hi Mark,
Personally, I don't know of anyone who's been seriously helped by 'the system', but of course that doesn't mean that such people don't exist. But I do believe that your 'self education/help' plan will serve you well if you stick at it. So keep researching but keep in mind that there isn't one magic bullet, it's a combination thing.
Good luck - you sound to me like someone who'll get there!

Hello Mark
Glad to hear that you have had a bit of a breathing space, and sounds as if you have a very supportive wife who is doing her best to help. It's good that you are taking those vitamins/minerals too - might be an idea to try and get a Vit D test done (either NHS who are often reluctant to do so, or privately as it's not expensive) to see what your levels are like. Also I assume you have had B12 checked too? It's always worth asking for copies of the tests, as they will say that you are 'normal' maybe but you could be at the bottom of the ranges.
My only thoughts re not getting referred anywhere as you are not ill enough for them, is that you then do not get a diagnosis of CFS/ME. Having a diagnosis while you are working could be useful in the future, and it is possible for your GP to diagnose you if no one else will. If you then have that diagnosis it gives you a 'fall back' position re work if at some point you need to ask them for 'reasonable adjustments' via the Equality Act as without the actual diagnosis it might be harder to argue your case. I am thinking of a 'worst case scenario' here, which hopefully won't happen, but at least you then have the ground prepared.

Hi again, KV,
This thread is around three months old so it's very possible that Mark won't pick up on your post. So I hope you don't mind me answering your question on his behalf -
The answer is - it can't, which is ridiculous. Those with most need get least (often no) help!!!!
Maybe home visits/assessments are available in some areas, but none that I know of. But it just might be worth getting a phone consult with your GP during which you could fully explain your situation and how much you need help, and ask if there is any way he/she could arrange something. I can't say that I think a positive response would be likely, but you never know.
Good luck.
