Daniel Sone over Phototuts has published a well written in-depth guide into wedding photojournalism which has become a very popular style of having one of the most important days in your lives documented.
Vanessa and I got married 2 years ago and despite having a wonderful photographer chronicle the event, the approach of him capturing moments was as traditional as you would expect where there's a lot of directing and posing involved sprinkled with some candids of us.
Photojournalism in general implies not just a different style of photographs but a different technique in capturing them. These are the people who are skilled at stealing moments without attracting attention which should be the case because when people are having fun and enjoying themselves, they automatically create the backdrop for taking better photos, assuming the photographer is skilled at this type of shooting.
In the end, what you want from your wedding photographs is to relieve the story you experienced that day and there's only so much of it you can see when everything was posed rather than candid.

Make Yourself SmileCompliments are a wonderful thing. It might not be always easy to handle them but we all remember them, don´t we? So go ahead, make yourself a compliment. Did you achieve something recently that you are proud of? Are you really funny today? Does your makeup look flawless? Tell it to yourself and just make yourself smile. It´s a great reminder of your own worth and something that can be done within seconds. Also I truly believe that everyone can think of at least one thing they can compliment themselves on. It really doesn´t matter how small of a thing it is!
Focus On One Positive Thing At A TimeI know how easy it is to forget the things you love about yourself and lose yourself in all the things you don´t like. And you really don´t have to love every detail about yourself but I guarantee that there is at least one thing you absolutely love about yourself. So ask yourself: What is you secret superpower? Are you a great listener? Are you awesome at a sport? Can you comfort people easily? Find that one thing that´s awesome about you. Now give yourself a superhero name and maybe even mentally design a costume. Whenever you feel down about yourself, remember your superhero alter ego and focus on that! (P.S. Your one thing can change every time you do this)
Play A Little Mind Trick On YourselfSo, this may sound a little weird at first but stay with me here. I want you to stand up right now. If there´s a mirror near you that´s great but it´s not absolutely necessary. Go up to that mirror and stand in front of it; feet hip-width apart, hands on your hips. Now stare yourself dead in the eye and tell yourself "I´m awesome" over and over again. Try to really convince your reflection of what you´re saying. If you don´t have a mirror, stand in the same position but close your eyes and imagine your reflection.
You might be asking yourself how this is going to help you. Well, firstly our brain has a feedback loop where it recognizes the body posture and draws a conclusion about our mental state from that. So in that pose it will conclude that you are feeling confident. Secondly, our brains are susceptible to information that is repeated to them. It seems to agree with that information more than with information you´ve only heard once. So by sounding convincing over and over again you´re making your brain believe in what you´re saying.
Take Care Of Yourself FirstUnless you´re responsible for the life´s of others right now there´s no task that can´t wait for half an hour. So allow yourself to take a little time for yourself whenever you need to. That doesn´t mean you have to bring out all the face masks and paint your nails. It could be as simple as turning away from your computer for 5 minutes and looking outside the window or making yourself a cup of tea or doing some sort of relaxation exercise - like Progressive Muscle Relaxation. Just something that´ll make you feel better.
Treat Yourself As Your Best FriendNow, as I said, I truly believe that the relationship with ourselves is the longest and most important one in our life. So why do we continue treating ourselves as our enemies instead of our best friends? You would never tell your best friend that they are too fat or too weird. You´d say that they might be weird but in a great way and that they´ll find people who are just as weird. And they´re not fat, they are just super soft and great to cuddle. Now take one negative statement about yourself that you´ve thought/said recently and imagine your best friend is saying them about themselves. Respond to those thoughts as you would to your best friend.
BONUS: Ask A Friend
This is a little bonus task that you can do but you may need your phone for this. Simply ask three people that you are close with to tell you one thing they absolutely love about you (this might feel easier/less awkward via text message). Once they answer, believe whatever they have said. Believe it and hold it dear to your heart! I´ll bet that you´ll be smiling as wide as you can when you receive those messages.
P.S. If you ask a friend and they don´t answer (without a valid reason) or can´t tell you one thing they love about you, please cut them out of your life. Those people are toxic to you and honestly, don´t deserve to even be in your life. Instead surround yourself with people who truly love and support you!
Self-love is absolutely amazing and definitely necessary. But don´t worry, everyone can learn to love themselves! Self-love doesn´t mean you have to love absolutely everything about you, it means embracing the parts you love and accepting the ones you don´t. It also means generally taking care of yourself and building yourself up. You can still totally work on the parts you don´t love. There´s always room to become a better person! It´s just super important to not put yourself down while you´re doing that. You need to have your own back and be your own best friend in life!

Alright, I know what you're thinking. "Carrot hot dogs…. I don't think so!" Before you scroll on out, just hear me out. Give me 2 minutes to convince you, because I've been where you've been. Self proclaimed former carrot hot dog doubter turned carrot hot dog lover, right here guys. Like you, I'd seen various carrot hot dog recipes floating around Pinterest for a while, and my immediate and only thought was always, stupid. How on earth could a frickin' carrot taste anything like an actual hot dog? Similar shape does not an adequate food substitute make. Butttt, and that's a huge but, since first laying my peepers on a picture of a carrot hot dog, I've been intrigued. Like, what's all the hype about? There's gotta be something there, right?
Despite not ingesting an actual hot dog in years – not even the soy-based faux meat variety – I was hit hard by the craving for a dog (oh hi, pregnancy) earlier this summer. So I caved and decided to finally give carrot hot dogs a go. If they sucked at least I could say I'd been right all along. Man, I was so wrong. Carrot hot dogs are kinda awesome and after years of dog deprivation, I've got hot dogs back in my life. Healthy, plant-based hot dogs. The secret(s) to replacing a meat dog with a carrot? It's all about the marinade and a long marinade time, we're talking 24 hours here. Let's face it, these are carrots. They need all the help they can get.
When I started throwing together my marinade, I basically thought about flavors I'd want in a tasty baked bean or barbecue sauce. (As an added bonus you can totally use this marinade to make delicious vegan baked beans.) Coconut aminos – a milder and less salty (and gluten free) version of soy sauce – make up the base of the marinade. The rest of the ingredients are dead easy, equal amounts of apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, blackstrap molasses (just buy some already), sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo, and fresh garlic. The marinade strikes the perfect balance between salty, sweet and smoky. Just what you'd want in a barbecued dog. The carrots are prepped for the marinade by boiling until super tender (whatever you do, don't steam them in the microwave like I lazily tried, they basically deflate from the inside out). Allow them to cool, then soak in the marinade for a full day. I know, such a long time, but it's so necessary. Once the carrots have had time to soak in all that marinade goodness, grill on the stovetop or outdoor barbecue. You can also roast them if you've got more time on your hands.
Pile the finished dogs into buns and load 'em up with your fave hot dog accoutrement. Devour. I don't know how to describe the finished product other than saying they taste like hot dogs. Not exactly like hot dogs, but not exactly not like hot dogs either. Does that make sense? They will definitely satisfy your hot dog craving and more importantly, they don't taste like carrots. The texture is also pretty spot on too. Even my non-vegan/non-vegetarian husband loves them. He genuinely gets excited when I tell him we're having carrot hot dogs for dinner. Plant eater win!
Have you had carrot hot dogs before? Love 'em or hate 'em? I want to hear about it in the comments section. And, I know summer is basically over, but check out my Barbecue Ranch Tempeh Burgers if you're craving more cookout worthy eats.
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo (or 2 chipotles in adobo)
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- pinch of sea salt & ground black pepper
- 4 extra large carrots, peeled & trimmed to fit a hot dog bun
- 4 hot dog buns
- various hot dog toppings: ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, relish
- Place carrots in a large pot of water (carrots should be completely covered with water). Bring water to a boil then continue to boil for 10 minutes until carrots are very easily pierced with a fork (they'll probably be softer than you think they should be, but trust me, you don't want them to have any crunch left)
- Remove carrots from pot and allow to cool completely. Whisk together all marinade ingredients and pour into a large, sealable plastic freezer bag. Add carrots to bag, seal, and shake to coat with marinade. Place bag flat on a plate & refrigerate carrots overnight. In the morning, flip bag over to coat opposite side of carrots. Continue to marinate until ready to prepare carrots. *
- To grill carrots, brush a large skillet with olive oil and heat over medium-high. Remove carrots from marinade** and add to skillet. Grill on all sides for 2 to 3 minutes for a total of 8 to 10 minutes. Carrots should be well browned & possibly blackened in spots.
- To roast carrots, preheat your oven to 425 F. Remove carrots from marinade and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Roast for 45 to 50 minutes, until carrots are well browned on all sides.
- Serve carrots warm in buns and garnish with desired toppings.
** Leftover marinade can be used to prepare delicious vegan baked beans. Drain but do not rinse a 15 ounce can of no salt added pinto beans. Combine beans and marinade in a small pot and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and continue to simmer until sauce thickens significantly, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.

I am planning my next build which will be a Shearwater 17 Hybrid. I am in much agony over the seat and, being on the West Coast I cannot run down to CLC and try some out. Recognizing that all bodies are different, I would appreciate some comparisons between the Happy Bottom seat in combination with the Rapid pulse Back Band and the Creature Comfort Seat.
13 replies:
RE: Kayak Seats
Dear Paul,
I finished a Shearwater 17 Hybrid mid-summer. It was a fun project to do!! I too had anxious moments about the seating... I was not too excited initially about the standard CLC mini-cell. So I special order a very comfortable seat from Current Designs... the same one I had in my Kestrel. But.... when I put it in, it was way too high.... uncomfortably tight knees. So I took it out and simply put in the "default" from CLC, and found it really very fine. The Rapid Pulse backband was tight and secure. (though I did add a velcroed half-round lumber pillow to the back band). I tested the happy bottom, and a similar creature comfort seat at a local paddle shop, and found them no better than the basic CLC pad seat. The manual suggests simply double-taping the seat in until you find the right position. You could do this to temporarily check it out... you might save yourself $50!! Good luck with the Shearwater! (P.S. I found the Shearwater to be sporty, and very responive... fast... and a bit too tippy for me. I will sell this winter and build a different boat) Thanks..
RE: Kayak Seats
I built a Shearwater last winter and used the stock minicell and kit supplied backrest.
No problems to report and I have made trips up to 5 hours in my shearwater with a half time for lunch and stretch the legs.
Not having a problem with the minicell, I wouldn't be looking to use another seat and raise your center of gravity. Shearwaters are known for being tippy/sporty, not a beginners boat, altough using a beginners boat will do nothing to help you in a kayak like the shearwater. Many people give up on them as being too difficult to paddle and have a good time but I feel this is due to people not giving the boat a chance. You have to put your time in and become one with the boat. I even set anchor and eat lunch in my shearwater, they are just not that tippy at 23"+ for a beam.
Back to the seat, between the minicell seat and minicell knee braces, this provides for a snug fit and provides adequate cushion, in my experience. Puffy seats are best used in high volume cockpits where you need to try to snug up the fit a little bit.
RE: Kayak Seats
Thanks for the input guys. I was unaware that these special seats jack you up a bit. I paddled the Shearwater 17 at okuome fest last spring and was really comfortable with the stability. I suspect that demo boat had the standard seat. Sounds like a good chance to save a few bucks. My MC 16.5 with rowing rig felt tender the first day I launched, but that sense is long gone now. It all takes a little practice.
RE: Kayak Seats
Anybody tried a Skwoosh seat?
RE: Kayak Seats
slightly off topic but I have a shearwater hybrid 17 and struggling with the tippiness on the SF bay. I am actually disappointed but I've decided to make a big effort to learn the boat. However sadly I don't think it will ever be the boat for me for rougher weather or seas. If anyone has a recommendation for a kayak for rougher water I would appreciate it.
Also, I was happy with the stock seat that came with my shearwater but I never permanently installed the seat, just never got around to it and last night I forgot to remove from the kayak and lost the seat and now need to figure out what to replace it. So...learn from my laziness. I can afford the redfish seat that looks so appealing but really the stock seat was fine.

RE: Kayak Seats
something I did with my ch18 and you could try if you want to experiment with seats. Attach the stock kit seat to two pieces of okoume (2 pieces so the seat conforms to the bottom of the boat and provides a channel for water). Attach to the hull with 2 inch self adhesive velcro. You can then move the seat fore or aft, remove for cleaning out he boat or swap out different seats. I ended up sticking a grande hot seat on top of the stock one and it's very comfortable. still not done with seat experimentation tho'
RE: Kayak Seats
Get the Redfish seat. Not the whole seat but just the seat blank. It is a 4" thick minicell block with only the sculpted butt area finished. You shape the rest of it. It is much cheaper.
Use with a rapid pulse backband or similar.
Most comfortable.
The 3" deep recess gives support for the back. The backband adds just a little more support. The rest from your abs.
There are several videos that show how "easy" it is to make the sculpted blank yourself using an angle grinder and/or dragons skin. Not worth the efffort unless it is important that you do it yourself.
RE: Kayak Seats
I would respectfully disagree that it is not worth your time, it is really not that difficult, and doesn't take that much time. I was able to customize my seat until it was entirely to my liking and fit to my boat, and have since helped owners of plastic boats do the same.
RE: Kayak Seats
Kim , What is it about it that you dont like,
Just curiouse
Kind regards Locky......
RE: Kayak Seats
For my recreational kayaking the stock seat has done just fine. I attached it with velcro and when I lost it driving down the freeway w/out the cockpit cover I replaced it with the same stock seat. However, I decided I wanted a taller backband so I now use a Performance Back band and like it.

The year is 2015. Deep within the Antarctic Ice Sheet a hotspot suddenly appears on satellite tracking. The US science team that is sent from McMurdo Station to investigate finds an icy graveyard. Minutes later, their transmission is cut off. The last sounds heard over the radio are their screams.
NASA lures volcanologist Erica Daniels to a conference in Houston by promising to consider her for their upcoming mission--establishing the first moon base. Instead, her archrival and ex-lover, David Marsh, gets the plum assignment, while she's sent to Antarctica to lead a new team beneath the ice. Even worse, she's sent in blind. They told her about the thermal signature, but not about the bodies. Where did they come from? They don't belong to the missing investigative team, so what had become of her fellow scientists? Is the activity under the ice the remnants of an ancient civilization or is there a more sinister explanation? The answer could mean the very survival of the human race. To find out, Erica will have to join forces with the man she despises--a man who's on the moon.

I've decided to share a non-pole focused post. Pole is more incidental this time.
If you've been reading here recently you know that I've had some trouble with my wrists and through acupuncture they have improved dramatically. They're still not 100% but actually quite close. That's relevant because it's my acupuncturist who was instrumental in this story and I'd have never started seeing her if I wasn't so desperate.
On Wednesday I had my third appointment with my acupuncturist. The heat test showed much improvement over the last two weeks when she did some work. There are still some areas that aren't responding optimally and I may go back to see her in three weeks depending on how I'm feeling. Frankly I'd go constantly if it was cheaper. I'm now a believer in electrical work. Here's where things get a bit weird. What she notices and feels compelled to focus on is that I'm too self-critical and full of guilt. I don't FEEL extra self-critical – only the same as I always am, which it turns out might be much higher than is healthy. I don't FEEL full of guilt – only a "normal" amount for me (with the possible exception of the issue for which I am seeing my therapist), again which apparently is way higher than necessary. Sitting there I think to myself "I don't know what to do with that. How do I stop that?" She gave me a book to read that outlined metaphysical reasons for pain/illness, such as pain in the upper back means you carry too much of the weight of the world and don't feel supported. I didn't believe in that, but I hadn't believed in acupuncture either. That was Wednesday.
On Thursday I saw my therapist. I'm not ready to talk about why I initially started seeing her three months ago, but I want to share this interesting bit. First, I asked her if she believed in metaphysical manifestation. She said she was torn on the issue because logically she resists it but she has the book that was recommended to me and every single time she has a pain and looks it up it's accurate. So we started our discussions – I was hurt/offended by someone recently and we were talking about ways for me to better express that. She wanted to demonstrate a good discussion technique and so she was acting as me. As Angela, she said "You called me a name and it really hurt." (By the way, name-calling was not my specific issue, she chose that as a random example.) Before she could finish her second sentence I started crying. Of course she stopped to let me process that a minute then she asked why I'd cried. I had to think about it to put into words that although I knew she was being me and not herself, and although I've never said a bad word about her, I felt like I – Angela – had hurt her deeply and it crushed me. Apparently I could not distinguish that it was an exercise. What she noticed was that I was full of guilt. Again, what do I do with that? I don't know how to just turn that off, especially if I'm not sure why. She assured me we'd work through it.
On Friday we had dinner with friends. While in the kitchen talking about having people over for dinner, she said "you are way too hard on yourself." I honestly don't think I said anything to prompt that exact response. I think that was the universe confirming that I need to listen up.
Yesterday I saw my massage therapist (is it a fluke that I had all my therapists in one week??). She is a holistic practitioner and I shared these stories with her as I was telling her about some excessive pain I've had in my foot and back this week. It turns out she has an office mate who is working on some certification in energy work and is offering free sessions. So I'm going to try it out. Maybe my Qi (Chi, life force, energy, soul) can be healed enough that the universe can quit yelling at me. Then maybe I'll quit holding back in pole so much, too.
Note: please feel free to replace 'universe' with 'God' if you you prefer to see the massive, cohesive, force that is bigger than all of us is that way. I think if something or someone is sending me a message, it's still worth listening to, whether I understand that energy or not.

The edge of spring…
Hello there, remember spring?
We're lovin' the 60s down South. It'll turn cold again, but this February warmth is a welcome break each year. A reminder that spring is officially only a month away.
It gives the attitude a little extra somethin' positive to go on for the final month of winter.
It also makes a body do strange things.
In particular, it has me purging attic spaces – purging them of 100+ year old family pieces, crossing myself and swatting spiders, hollering "Death!" Thwack (fly swat).
There were a few, "Sweet Jesus, that's a lot of spiders," tossed into yesterday's attic clearing.
I feel a need deep in my emotional stability for more Praying mantids. Their petitioning posture, their hunting prowess – seems like a formula for success.
Today, we tackle the attic stacks on the front porch. The parental units and donkey brigade are on standby.
I'm just not a natural born enemy to brown recluse spiders.
But, I'm feeling more like a praying mantis right now. Lightning fast at catching bugs. Craning my neck a full 180 degrees looking for the enemy. 5 eyes on alert. Biting back when my Farmer wants some sugar…
Mantis religiosa – nothing like a little NatGeo for your Saturday morning
…okay I'm not biting back. It's more like I'm in need of a big farmer arm hug every 17 minutes, and I'd better get what I need or else (snot and tears imminent). Tom Gray and Buddy are taking snuggle shifts to get me through.
The extra cold winter was a short reprieve from the creepy crawlies…but as I stand on the edge of spring, I swiftly sideline thoughts of my garden, kitchen remodel, new baby calves and pasture walks with my Farmer to pick daffodils…no, there's an infestation that lurks, and it has me back on the edge where I last lined up my toes before frost brought a winter stalemate last autumn.
Of all the intense emotions that the edge of spring brings, I've never experienced this type of dread…
…the egg sacks are hatching, the egg sacks are hatching…
…like a colonial Revere announcement, this warm spell heralds another season of pushing back the arachnid invasion.
It's a steady on march type of endeavor. I've learned to shoulder the paranoia and laugh at having discovered I don't die from brown recluse bites – not even two of them.
`Tis a strange psychological endeavor – this living with an infestation.
…don't jump! Don't do it!…
Okay, fine, I won't jump, but does anyone know where I can purchase praying mantids, wolf spiders and lizards in bulk?
The lizards need to be cat-resistant.
I'm rallying for round 5,700 in this brown recluse saga. Say a few "Lord have mercies" for me. I'm heading out to purge, already having texted the in-laws and cried my mama and hugged my Farmer and let Buddy's silky soft ears lower my blood pressure…and Tom promises to stay with me…and it's going to be okay, it's going to be okay, it's going to…
Toes gripping the ledge,
Have things thawed out a bit at your place? Have the sunshine and warmth got you toeing the edge of spring ready to launch?
4 Responses to "The edge of spring…"

Do you know what Picasti Extension is?
Picasti Extension is an add-on that can be installed onto a web browser. Though we classify it as a PUP (potentially unwanted program), this add-on is often classified as an advertising-supported program. It is possible that if you do not delete this extension from your web browsers, they might be flooded with advertisements. Although most users consider ads annoying and disruptive, the most important thing is that some of these ads can also be dangerous. Not all advertisements are misleading, and not all advertisers have malicious intentions, but you must keep in mind that cyber crooks can exploit programs that offer advertising platforms. In fact, some of these platforms can be created by cyber criminals themselves. Overall, it is crucial to be vigilant about programs that can introduce you to ads. Continue reading, and you will be able to decide for yourself if you need to delete Picasti Extension or if you can trust this program.
Did you install Picasti Extension yourself? If you have, did you use an official installer? According to our research team, an official download page does not exist, which is not a good sign. In the past, this add-on was promoted at the Chrome web store; however, it has been taken down, which signals that it got bad reviews or that it was discovered to be malicious. Overall, if you have not used a legitimate source, it is most likely that you discovered the Picasti Extension via an unfamiliar installer that you might have launched by downloading a different piece of software. Whether the extension was introduced to you in a clear manner or it was concealed from you, you have to be cautious about it. When downloading the extension, you might have been introduced to a pop-up indicating that the app can "read and change all your data on the websites you visit." Isn't this strange? When you see a statement like this, you should consider rejecting software because you might end up deleting it anyway.Picasti Extension screenshot
Scroll down for full removal instructions
It is likely that Picasti Extension will record your virtual activity and check the contents of the pages you browse. Since the add-on can change the data on these sites, it is likely that new advertisements will be injected instead of regular ads or different kinds of content. As mentioned previously, Picasti Extension has the reputation for showcasing ads, and this might be the main signal informing you that something is wrong. If you do not use ad-blockers, you must be used to seeing ads; however, you need to stay vigilant. If you start seeing more ads than usual, or if they are introduced to you in an unusual manner (e.g., reappearing pop-ups, flashy banners, or ads that are opened in new pages), you must be suspicious. Even if the ads shown by the suspicious extension are not malicious, do you want to see them? After all, it is advertised as a tool that can show funny pictures, not show ads.
Even if you recognize Picasti Extension as a harmless program, are you sure that its services are useful? If you do not, you need to get rid of it without any hesitation. According to our research, the extension's ID on Google Chrome might be "mhgcdjhdeoinadoehjnbfnddbeniklkf," but you should be able to identify it by the name. All you have to do is click the recycling bin linked to the extension, and it will be removed immediately. Of course, if other infections exist on your PC, the best thing you can do is to employ an automated malware remover, and if you do that, you do not need to worry about deleting Picasti Extension as it will be eliminated along with all other threats.
Remove Picasti Extension
- Launch Google Chrome.
- Simultaneously tap keys Alt+F to open a menu.
- Click More tools and then Extensions.
- Click the recycling bin next to the unwanted add-on.
- Choose Remove and then restart the browser.
- Scan your operating system to check if you need to erase other threats.
In non-techie terms:
Picasti Extension might not look harmful or dangerous, but it is not beneficial either, and that is a good reason to get rid of it. According to our research, there is a great possibility that this potentially unwanted program can show advertisements, and that might disrupt your web browsing experience; not to mention that ads could be dangerous as well. If you choose to delete Picasti Extension from your web browsers, you can follow the instructions above. In case you decide to invest in anti-malware software – which can erase malware and protect your operating system – you do not need to worry about the add-on at all.

Interventions for promoting physical activity | Cochrane
Not taking enough physical activity leads to an increased risk of a number of chronic diseases including coronary heart disease. Regular physical activity can reduce this risk and also provide other physical and possibly mental health benefits. The majority of adults are not active at recommended levels. The findings of this review indicate that professional advice and guidance with continued support can encourage people to be more physically active in the short to mid-term. More research is needed to establish which methods of exercise promotion work best in the long-term to encourage specific groups of people to be more physically active.

Aerobic exercise to improve cognitive function in older people without known cognitive impairment | Cochrane
Aerobic exercise is beneficial for healthy ageing. It has been suggested that the increased fitness brought about by aerobic exercise may help to maintain good cognitive function in older age. We looked for randomised controlled trials of aerobic exercise programmes for people over the age of 55 years, without pre-existing cognitive problems, which measured effects on both fitness and cognition. The aerobic exercise programmes could be compared with no intervention (e.g. being on a waiting list for the exercise group) or with other kinds of activity (including non-aerobic exercises such as strength or balance exercises, or social activities).

Exercise training for adults with chronic kidney disease | Cochrane
Exercise regimens are based on the frequency, intensity and duration of exercise training as well as the type of activity and the individual's initial level of physical fitness. All these factors have to be taken into account when aiming to achieve the goal with the regular exercise training and or rehabilitation.

Aerobic exercise training programmes for adults with Down syndrome | Cochrane
Many people with Down syndrome have poor strength, poor muscle mass, and high body fat percentage and so are disposed to cardiovascular health problems. Although physical fitness has been suggested to improve physical and psychosocial health for a variety of healthy patient populations, information about the safety and effectiveness of aerobic exercise for adults with Down syndrome is lacking. This review identified only three small randomized trials. The results showed that only aspects of work performance (for example, maximal test time, maximal distance at the end of the exercise test) were improved after aerobic exercise training programs. Further well-designed research on larger population samples is required to evaluate potential benefits for psychosocial aspects in adults with Down syndrome.

Strength training or comprehensive aerobic exercise training for muscle disease | Cochrane
Strength training, which is performed to improve muscle strength and muscle endurance, or aerobic exercise programmes, which are designed to improve cardiorespiratory endurance, might optimise physical fitness and prevent additional muscle wasting in people with muscle disease. However, people with muscle disease and some clinicians are still afraid of overuse and have a cautious approach to training. This updated review (most recent date of search 2 July 2012) included two eligible trials of strength training in people with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and myotonic dystrophy (101 participants), two trials of strength training combined with aerobic exercise in people with mitochondrial myopathy (18 participants) and myotonic dystrophy type I (35 participants) and one trial of aerobic exercise in people with polymyositis and dermatomyositis (14 participants). These trials showed that moderate-intensity strength training in people with myotonic dystrophy or with FSHD, and aerobic exercise training in people with dermatomyositis or polymyositis appear not to harm muscles. Strength training combined with aerobic exercise appears to be safe in myotonic dystrophy type I and may be effective in increasing endurance in people with mitochondrial myopathy. Evidence suggests that strength training is not harmful in people in FSHD, myotonic dystrophy, mitochondrial disorders and dermatomyositis and polymyositis, but further research is needed to determine potential benefit.

This is the latest plan by the Zionist Occupied Government, to use mind control and fear on anyone that protests against the Jew World Order, where whites are being ethnically cleansed by invading masses of non-whites into America and racial mixing will destroy the race that created America - white Europeans! Join the N.A.U. and we will reverse this sick scenario!
The New Freedom Initiative (US): Ready To Be Tested?
According to a //www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/toc-2004.html">Progress Report, The New Freedom Initiative is a //www.whitehouse.gov/news/freedominitiative/freedominitiative.html">new project announced by the White House to "help Americans with disabilities ...". But apparently, President Bush plans to unveil next month a sweeping mental health initiative that recommends screening for every citizen and promotes the use of expensive antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. Under the initiative, every citizen of virtually every age, including preschool children, is to be screened for mental illness. Schools will be used as the screening centres for the 52 million kids and 6 million teachers who attend them.
Here is an excerpt from //www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/newfreedom-report-2004.pdf">the Mental Health Commission report driving this initiative: "The Commission concluded that the mental health service delivery system in the United States must be substantively transformed. In the transformed system: 1) Americans understand that mental health is essential to overall health; 2) mental health care is consumer and family-driven; 3) disparities in mental health services are eliminated; 4) early mental health screening, assessment, and referral to services are common practice; 5) excellent mental health services are delivered and research is accelerated; and 6) technology is used to access mental health care and information.
The model for the New Freedom initiative is the //www.mhmr.state.tx.us/centraloffice/medicaldirector/TMAPtoc.html">TMAP, which stands for the //www.mhmr.state.tx.us/centraloffice/medicaldirector/TMAPover.html">Texas Medication Algorithm Project - that's right, the state that George used to govern, a project that first saw the light of day during his time in office there. TMAP promotes the use of the new, and more expensive, antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs, such as Zyprexa (olanzapine), which is Eli Lilly's best selling drug. It grossed $4.28bn in 2003, with 70 per cent of the revenues paid for by government agencies such as Medicare and Medicaid." Critics say the plan protects the profits of drug companies at the expense of the public. b>Will you pass George's mental health test?

This falls under sorcerers and their sorceries in the Book Of Revelation.
'Sorceries' in that book comes from the greek word Pharmakia, where we get the word Pharmacy. In the Greek Lexicon it says 'the administration of pharmecudicals'.
400 some years ago when they were putting the King James Bible together under the supervision of the Holy Spirit, they knew the word Sorcery meant anyone doing or dealing with pharmecudicals.
The upcoming Bush/NWO drugplan is just a mind control plan to subdue people who know the truth.
They'll demonize people who know the truth by saying "they're mentally ill".

South West TUC writes to South West MPs, asking them whether they support the NHS pay cartel
The South West TUC has written to MPs in Cornwall asking their views on the NHS pay cartel threatening to drive down pay and conditions for the region's healthworkers.
Twenty NHS trusts in the South West have paid £10,000 each to join an alliance that conflicts with nationally-agreed NHS conditions – a move that will reduce payments to staff working unsocial hours at nights and weekends, reduce annual leave and reduce sick pay while increasing working hours,
Kit Leary, who is leading the fight for a Living Wage in the South West on behalf of the TUC, said: "We are concerned the attempt by these rogue employers to establish what is effectively a regional NHS agreement will lead to the wider introduction of regional pay beyond the health service.
"We believe a nurse or teacher in Cornwall is worth as much as a nurse or teacher elsewhere in the UK, and should be treated the same."
The MPs have been asked whether they support the concept of regional pay and whether they support the NHS cartel.
Kit Leary said: "The TUC opposes any attempt to drive down pay and conditions in the South West – a move that would make us bottom of the UK's pay league – and we're sure, even if for their own career's sake, many MPs in the region will feel the same way.
"MPs will have to make a decision: do they toe the party line and support regional pay or do they accurately reflect the views of constituents? Remember, these constituents are the people who will see their living standards drop as a result of regional pay and the very same people who will vote on whether to keep or reject their MP."
* UNISON has a set up a petition against regional pay. More details here.
UNISON's head of health, Christina McAnea explains why regional pay should be a non-starter here.

Q: Should I feel "Old" symptomatic pain while doing my corrective exercises?
A: No. Absolutely Not!
You should not feel or experience what we like to describe as "Old" Symptomatic or Familiar Pain sensation that originally brought you into work with us when doing your corrective exercises.
However, keep in mind that people define pain differently, and putting the pieces of the solution together does take time, patience, and good communication with your Corrective Exercise Specialist.
Some people may feel a very strong stretch and/or new muscular activation and may refer to that as pain because he/she is unfamiliar with the stimulus to an underutilized area. If you are aware of new and unfamiliar muscular response that is different that old pain sensations, everything is okay. Your body is now responding to the correct stimulus and demand of the corrective exercises.
If you are unsure, it is very important to contact your CES right away. We are here to help you trust your body again. At Pain Free Posture we are committed to empowering and educating you to know and understand the difference between old pain symptoms and new body sensations. They are different!
We will help you interpret what is actually going on in your body.
Often people with a history of chronic pain will call muscular fatigue and neuromuscular sensations pain when in reality it is just that the discomfort that is new and unfamiliar. Posture Alignment Therapy does not hurt or cause pain. It is not the same as being injured, or the old pain sensation.

Experiences with Persuasive Writing
Stayer University
English 215
Professor Amanda McClure
May 6, 2012
In persuasive or argumentative writing, we try to convince others to agree with our facts, share our values, accept our argument and conclusions, and adopt our way of thinking. I have used persuasive writing in several areas of my life. In my personal life, I have used persuasive writing to convince members of my non-profit organization to donate money we fundraised to the Southside Boys and Girls Club for supplies and other miscellaneous items the children needed. Another member wanted to donate the money to the homeless but my research and convincing evidence proved that giving the money to the Boys and Girls Club was the better choice. In my professional career, I have used cover letters to influence employers I am perfect for the position in which I was applying for. As a college student, I plan to use persuasive writing to construct well written papers for all subjects to include Business, English, and Psychology. In business, I would use persuasive writing to explain why monetary and fiscal policy should have been better leveraged to prevent the recession. In psychology, persuasive writing would be used to argue how the courts should use the concept of insanity to determine fault in criminal cases. Persuasive writing is can is used in all aspects of life whether it be in my professional career or for writing for professors but I have a few common challenges that arise when writing to convince. The most common challenge I have when writing documents for professors is selecting a relevant topic and providing sufficient evidence to support my topic. Selecting an effective topic is the most crucial step in writing a successful persuasive essay. I struggle to find a topic that is debatable or a topic I feel is knowledgeable because as a writer you definitely don't want to have a topic that is hard to prove....

I've been thinking about cooking lately. (Of course, I'm sure Brian will be quick to point out that thinking is clearly as far as I've gotten.) I've been musing about this cooking subject because we're going to have to do a lot of it when we get out voyaging. While I'm sure there are some fantastic cheap fish tacos to be had in Baja, it won't be possible for us to simply pick up food on a daily basis from our local Thai restaurant or Indian-Pakistani place once we're out there. We won't be able to pop into Mr. Gyro and buy delicious lamb and chicken wraps from some of the nicest humans on earth. No, to make our voyaging dreams work, we're going to have to provision our boat with up to one or two year's worth of food, and to maintain a reasonable budget, we're going to have to cook—pretty much everything we want to eat.
So, I've been thinking about the fact that it would be great to test out a bunch of recipes on land, determine which are our favorites, and categorize them based on how quick and easy they are. Because when we get into rough seas, I'm pretty sure we're not going to be interested in working on a menu of stuffed Cornish game hens, twice baked potatoes, and baked Alaska for dessert. However, having some tested recipes both on hand—AND preferably committed to memory—could likely keep us off of an all Cliff Bar diet.
Flipping through books about cooking at sea is the biggest stride I've made so far. Brian is definitely ahead of me in this regard; he already has a limited but very pleasing repertoire of meals he's mastered. There are a handful of recipes he makes on a regular basis including delicious chili, chicken and rice, and his very popular Cuban pork roast with rice and beans. Brian may not be a full gourmet, but he does cook on a far more regular basis than I do, and he even seems to enjoy it—(perhaps nearly as much as he enjoys teasing me about my lack of interest in all things domestic). I actually remember coming over to Brian's old apartment in Ballard one night early in our relationship. He was cooking a recipe with cranberries and cloves, and the scent was like Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled into one. He had a dishtowel over his shoulder, Lynyrd Skynyrd blaring from the speakers, and he was dancing around the kitchen singing and cooking. I remember feeling quite smitten because not only was he cooking a fabulous meal for us, but he was also clearly having fun and doing it all in style—doing something he actually wanted to be doing.
Recently, I've not been able to find anything like that kind of joy associated with cooking. Now, many years ago I did cook--somewhat. I even cooked for a summer on a Windjamming Schooner in Maine. The recipes we made were simple, and of course, anything can be good when you leave in all the old-fashioned butter, cream, and sugar. But, when I moved to Seattle and realized that after a full day at work I could buy a really top notch burrito for about a dollar more than dinner ingredients would cost at the store, my cooking interest dwindled. I also became addicted to Thai food, which when ordered properly would provide me with two meals at only a slight premium over heading to the grocery store, and it saved me all the chopping, measuring, and sautéing.
But before we head off voyaging, somehow I need rekindle (or develop anew) a passion for cooking. I certainly like the eating part, and apparently the love of eating is where Julia Child's passion for cooking came from; however, I must confess that as much as I really am all about the eating (a bit too much so during these lazy winter days), thus far I'm really not at all interested in the cooking or even the cleaning, which, were I interested, might be a good bargaining tool for convincing Brian to do the cooking; although, with my current cleaning track record, I doubt he'd bite.
Now one advantage Brian has over me when he cooks is that he has one of the least picky audiences possible: me. I eat pretty much everything: meat, fish, poultry, veggies, tofu, baked goods, you name it. About the only thing I don't like is mint, and if the mint is fresh, even that's negotiable; in a Mojito, mint becomes a completely different character altogether, so, mint, rum, and I—we get along just fine.
Brian on the other hand, is a tougher customer, and he doesn't get excited about pasta dishes sans meat, which I love. He doesn't care for fish or shellfish, and he has been less than effusive about some of my faves such as spicy peanut soup; although, in his defense, my sister thinks the peanut soup sounds disgusting, and I've been unable to convince her to even try it.
So, what's a gal to do? Brian is well on his way to being competent in a galley, and since we'll be sharing the messmate duties, being a terrible and very reluctant cook aboard will likely lead to problems, frustration, and a rather boring culinary repertoire of lazy-man's pasta and cold sandwiches.
Perhaps our friends, John and Genevieve, who recently invited us to a Patrick O'Brian (of Master and Commander fame) –inspired Admiral's Feast have the right idea. Perhaps I need to take my inspiration from 19th century sailors. Genevieve said the books contain all sorts of information about how sailors managed without refrigeration and about how they stored their dry goods to avoid weevils and other critters. And at the Admiral's feast we were introduced to grog, which, containing rum, seemed an absolutely fine beverage in my opinion. Maybe I just need to imagine myself cooking in a different age—perhaps even in costume! You can ask Brian, I'm already well versed in the sailorly language. Perhaps I just need to curl up with some more books and learn about Treacle Pudding, Cold Duff, and Stewed Boar. Hmmm, curling up with a book definitely sounds better than heading to the kitchen—and I suppose if, despite my search for inspiration, my cooking never becomes outstanding, I can always resort to extra rations of grog for my crew!
Bon Appétit!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Photosynthetic reaction center.
Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that uses the methods of, and theories from physics to study biological systems.[1] Biophysics spans alllevels of biological organization, from the molecular scale to whole organisms and ecosystems. Biophysical research shares significant overlap withbiochemistry, nanotechnology, bioengineering, agrophysics, and systems biology. |
Molecular biophysics typically addresses biological questions similar to those in biochemistry and molecular biology, but more quantitatively. Scientists in this field conduct research concerned with understanding the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interactions betweenDNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis, as well as how these interactions are regulated. A great variety of techniques are used to answer these questions. Fluorescent imaging techniques, as well as electron microscopy, x-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are often used to visualize structures of biological significance. Conformational change in structure can be measured using techniques such as dual polarisation interferometry and circular dichroism. Direct manipulation of molecules using optical tweezers or AFM can also be used to monitor biological events where forces and distances are at the nanoscale. Molecular biophysicists often consider complex biological events as systems of interacting units which can be understood through statistical mechanics, thermodynamics andchemical kinetics. By drawing knowledge and experimental techniques from a wide variety of disciplines, biophysicists are often able to directly observe, model or even manipulate the structures and interactions of individual molecules or complexes of molecules. In addition to traditional (i.e. molecular and cellular) biophysical topics like structural biology or enzyme kinetics, modern biophysics encompasses an extraordinarily broad range of research, frombioelectronics to quantum biology involving both experimental and theoretical tools. It is becoming increasingly common for biophysicists to apply the models and experimental techniques derived from physics, as well as mathematics and statistics (see biomathematics), to larger systems such as tissues, organs (e.g. see cardiophysics), populations and ecosystems. Additionally, biophysics is a bridge between biology and physics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophysics
Biology Revolution
Biology: Advanced Physics
Of all the advanced science disciplines, an emphasis on physics and scaling properties will have the greatest affect on biology, because biology studies the most complicated objects: living organisms. Airplanes and many other man-made objects can be complicated creations, yet in comparison to the more advanced forms of biology these man-made objects are relatively simple. In general, the importance of scaling properties increases with the complexity of the object or life form. For life; size matters. Beyond having a thorough understanding of physics fundamentals, a good understanding of scaling properties and the process of evolution are possibly the most important guiding concepts needed to comprehend biology. Open a standard college biology textbook and flip through the pages. For every few pages of the thousand some odd pages there will be a biology concept that is dependent on understanding Galileo's Square-Cube Law. What is currently missing from the biology textbook is the same thing that is now missing from the standard college physics textbook: a chapter near the beginning of the book explaining Galileo's Square-Cube Law. How does a water strider walk on water? How does a bat navigate through a cave or stay warm at night? How does a bumble bee fly? How does a gecko walk on the ceiling? How does a tree draw water up to its highest leaves? How...

My dad once said to me, "You give a lot of books three stars." I do.
This volume branches out more from the Holmes canon. It develops these particular characters. Nora even gets a whole chapter to herself. I wasn't a huge fan of her backstory. The story itself is quite progressive in many ways even though it's set in Victorian England, so it was odd to me that g***y was used to describe Nora and the people who raised her.
There's also a crossover with another manga I've never heard of (and now can't remember). Without any knowledge of those characters and their stories I was still able to understand that part of the casebook just fine. So it seemed kind of strange, but didn't ruin my reading experience.

words without edges
When you think about it, the only way we can distinguish something visually is by its edges. We see the edges that outline, define, limit, separate one thing from another. Without edges, how could we say we are seeing anything at all? And when it comes to what we can think about, can mentally conceive, it's the same: hanging on to edges… Definitions, memories, beliefs, biases, hopes, fears, expectations all form the edges of what we can possibly imagine. We love edges, crave them and cultivate them. They give us something to cling to, a sense of belonging and comfort.
The challenge of living spiritual lives is learning to see the infinite embedded in our finite moments. The infinite has no edges…by definition. An edge limits, and once limited, is no longer infinite. The message of Jesus preserved in the gospels is the good news of an infinitely loving Father living among our moments. If the message accurately reflects that Father and that love, it must be made of words without edges. Without limit. There is something beautifully disturbing about Jesus' teaching. Beautiful because it hunkers right down at the fire of an infinite love; disturbing because there are no edges to which we can cling. Neither informing nor defining, it simply calls—and we either freefall into his infinite space or we do not.
Fearing the disturbance, we draw our own edges around Jesus' words through sheer familiarity or the pretense they're contained in a book with edges, a book we imagine we understand. But if we let the book fall fully open in our laps, let our eyes relax to softer focus, Jesus' words escape edges, expanding impossibly to suggest a truth bigger and more radical than we could ever conceive on our own.
The freedom of clinging to nothing that limits—the experience of life and love without edges.

This past Halloween it seemed everyone wanted to dress up as their favorite celebrities, from Snooki to the Kardashians to Justin Bieber.
But sans holiday now you can go Heidi Yourself.
Yes that's correct you could become the infamous Heidi Montag, all 10 surgeries in one day, divorced then didn't divorce her scum bag husband, MTV The Hills star, Heidi.
All you need is the new application from Mtv.co.uk, a photo of yourself that you can upload into the application and maybe some healing crystals if the results are borderline traumatic or horrific.
So if you want a breast augmentation, liposuction, gluteal implants, and a rhinoplasty, fret not, there is an app for that!

tblLAB - Laboratory values
holds type, date, value and unit of laboratory tests.
Core fields
Note: Fields marked bold form the unique identifier for a record of the table.
- PATIENT: Code to identify patient (Cohort Patient ID)
- LAB_ID: Code representing the measurement
- LAB_D: Date of measurement/sample
- LAB_V: Value of measurement
- LAB_U: Unit of measurement
Additional fields
Other detailed information regarding the patient and the measurement would be relevant, like the proposed fasting information shown below.
Depending on the set of measurements collected and the mandatory fields applicable to these individual measurements, it might be useful to separate the LAB table into several sub tables. This is already shown for the CD4 and RNA measurements: the level of detail needed for CD4 is less than for the LAB variables in general (no unit since it's always the same), while for RNA the data required is more detailed (assay and detection limit).

Frank Wheeler "the Prodigal Son"
Professor Griffin
English 1302
October 29, 2011
Frank Wheeler "The Prodigal Son"
Frank Wheeler is "The Prodigal Son" because his mind took him, his money, and his family to France to live riotously. However, reality and security, with a new position and better pay, caused him to return to the placed his father called home. Luke wrote, "And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living (Luke 15:13)." In the younger son's mind, he was going to live the life he wanted instead of the life his father led. Being at the same job for the rest of his life was conforming. Something neither he nor Frank wanted to do. Frank says, "I wanna feel things, really feel them," then asks April, "have you been to Paris? People are alive there not like here. I'm going back the first chance I get." Once the decision was made to go to France, the Wheelers engaged in a heated argument. Frank told April, "I work ten hours a day at a job I can't stand, but I have the back bone not to run from my responsibilities!" Although the work that he is doing is not what he loves, like his father, he knew what he had to do to survive. The prodigal son asked himself, "How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare,…I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him,…I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as thy servants ` (Luke 15:17-19)." As Frank, the prodigal son knew that he did not want to conform to his father's way of living. Consequently, he had to get the backbone and run back to his responsibilities. In Revolutionary Road, John Givings asked Frank, "What happened? You get cold feet? You decide, you're better off here? You figure, it's more comfy here in the old hopeless, emptiness after all?" John Givings was upset with Frank in the same way the prodigal son's...

Adam and Eve elucidates the relationship between three universal archetypes: Adam, Eve, and the apple. Adam (portrayed as a profile head portrait) represents the universal creative principle, the masculine and the spiritual side of life.
Eve represents the female aspect of the universe. As this aspect is associated with the subconscious, Eve is shown reflected in the water, another symbol for subconscious forces. The female principle is also associated with the physical place; thus Eves reflection in the water is shown as her physical body.
In other words, Eve and Adam represent body and soul, yin and yang. In Jungian psychology, the apple eaten by Adam and Eve symbolizes the life force. The apple may also be understood as representing the eternal aspiration for knowledge.
