The Biomechanics of Back Pain
Michael A. Adams , Kim Burton , Patricia Dolan , Nikolai Bogduk
Editura: Churchill Livingstone
This book offers an up-to-date review of the latest research in the field of mechanical back pain. It covers ground not previously covered in books (just published in journal articles and so inaccessible to many practitioners). It is written at a level appropriate for clinicians and undergraduates. It is fully illustrated with high-quality colour photographs of the relevant pathology as well as line diagrams to illustrate the biomechanics. The book provides the 'missing link' in the wealth of literature available on back pain. Back pain affects a large percentage of the population at some time and its effective management has a significant effect on the health and employment economy and on the workload of manual therapy practitioners and orthopaedic surgeons. In order to plan treatment and management effectively, it is important to understand the underlying biomechanics. This book provides the basis for that understanding. It is written by four of the foremost researchers in the field (all well known internationally through their research, publications and international speaking). They are a multidisciplinary team representing some of the main market groups.

Have you used direct mail recently for your online business? If not, then you will want to try it out and implement it in your business. It's something that can be incredibly profitable for you, and can boost your backend sales by 30%. All of this can be done by sending out a simple letter or postcard in the mail.
But sometimes, it's not enough to just send out a letter or a postcard. In some niches online, you have to get more creative about your direct mail. If you're in a business-to-business niche, this will apply to you. Let's get into the first creative thing that you will want to do when doing direct mail in your online business:
1) Write out your address and recipient's address
That's right. No labels. Just a handwritten envelope in blue or black ink. This immediately gives the impression of familiarity. People will think that the envelope and letter is personal, and will rush to open it. And hopefully when they open it, you do not scare them off with an ugly sales pitch.
The good news is that when they do open it, they will see that it's from you, and if you've been doing your email marketing correctly, they will continue to read your letter and possibly take action on buying something. But if you have not started a relationship with them via your email newsletter, they may just as well throw your letter in the trash. So it's important that you do both. Here's another tip:
2) Put "First Class Mail" on the envelope
Make it easy for your mailman. Everyday they sort through the junk mail and real, authentic, and personal (and important) letters. So if you put the words "first class mail" on your envelope, it will subconsciously tell them that this is something important … especially if it has a real-live stamp. Which leads me to my last point:
3) Use a real stamp on the envelope
Do not send out a letter to your customers with an ugly label on it. Go down to the post offer, and ask them to purchase 100 stamps. This will probably cost around $ 50 (or something like that … I do not know how much a stamp costs these days). And once you get all of these stamps, put a stamp on your postcard or envelope, insert your letter, seal it, and then drop it off at the post office.
This is a high probability that your letter will get delivered. The mailman will see that the envelope is hand addressed, and that there's a real live stamp on the envelope – so it must be important. This is one of the mail that they keep for successful delivery. Sounds like a lot huh? Lol well, that's just what it is, and that's the nature of things. But if you want to make a huge impact, this is what you have to do.
These tips for using direct mail to contact and earn more money from your backend customers are highly effective. Even though you are based online, you can still use these tips to earn additional profits – at a very low cost. So consider it today.
Good luck with using direct mail in your internet business today.

Ears that pop out from the side of the head can be embarrassing and unflattering. Many people are insecure about large, protruding ears that cause the face to appear unattractive and unusual. Unfortunately, this is one of the characteristics of the face a person cannot change on their own. Otoplasty, or ear surgery, is an option to correct the appearance of the ears. A common procedure performed on children, otoplasty is also a surgery that can be an option for adults who have been suffering from the torment caused by having large ears their entire lives. After undergoing otoplasty, patients can achieve ears that sit back on the face and create overall better facial balance.Schedule a Consultation With Dr. Pontell View Before & After Photos
Achieved With Otoplasty
Correction of Prominent Ears
A majority of otoplasty patients are children who have become targets of ridicule and teasing from their peers due to enormous or protruding ears. Adults may have put off surgery and later decide to undergo otoplasty to help them feel better about themselves or even excel in their careers. Otoplasty is performed to bring the ears closer to the head and/or to correct the appearance of large, prominent ears.
Achieved With Otoplasty
Better Facial Harmony
All of the characteristics of the face affect a person's overall look. When it comes to the ears and their role in facial harmony, instead of being a focal area of the face, they work better by blending in. After otoplasty, patients are rewarded with results that are satisfying and that create overall better facial harmony.
Achieved With Otoplasty
Increased Self-Confidence
Large, protruding ears have prompted hurtful nicknames such as "Dumbo." Hurtful words describing a person with abnormal ears can haunt them and may result in a significant decline in their overall self-confidence. After undergoing otoplasty, patients find that they are happy with how their ears look and that this dramatic change has provided them with overall gratifying results. They feel more confident and less self-conscious about their physical presence.
What Does Otoplasty Entail?
Before your procedure, you will meet with Dr. Pontell and he will go over the surgery. He will evaluate your goals and address all of your concerns. Dr. Pontell will examine your ears and suggest the best approach for achieving the most aesthetically pleasing outcome. He will use computer imaging to provide you with a good idea of what to expect from the procedure.
What Does Otoplasty Entail?
Dr. Pontell starts by making an incision on the back of the ear along the area where the ear cartilage joins the head. To correct ears that protrude, he will reshape and sculpt the ear cartilage so that the ears sit closer to the head. Once the cartilage is reshaped, the incision will be closed with stitches.
What Does Otoplasty Entail?
The head will be wrapped with bandages to assist in proper healing and to secure the ears in the correct position. After a few days, the bandage will be replaced with a small headband. Patients will likely feel some pain and throbbing in the ears for a couple of days. It is important that patients keep the head elevated to avoid putting any pressure on the ears. Children should have a responsible adult care for them during their recovery process. Patients should not do any strenuous activities for the first two weeks after surgery. Most patients go back to work after a week or less.
What Does Otoplasty Entail?
Patients will have a scar on the back of the ear, but the incision is placed in an inconspicuous area so the scars should be barely noticeable.
What Does Otoplasty Entail?
For the first few days after surgery, there will be some pain. However, Dr. Pontell will prescribe oral pain medication to alleviate any discomfort.
What if a Revision Otoplasty Is Necessary?
Although otoplasty is a safe and effective procedure and the vast majority of patients are very happy with the results, some patients may be unsatisfied with their results or experience unexpected changes to the ears. It is important that patients who are considering a revision otoplasty make sure their ears are fully healed and that they have waited at least six months since their original surgery.
Who is the best candidate for otoplasty?Ideal candidates for otoplasty have large, protruding ears that they would like to have corrected. Children should be at least five years of age, as this is when the ears generally reach the majority of full growth. It is important that young patients are able to communicate their feelings, want to undergo the procedure, and are healthy without any serious illnesses. Adults should be in good health, non-smokers, and realistic about their expectations.
How long will my otoplasty results last?Since the ears do not grow or change after a certain age, once the corrections performed during otoplasty are made, results will be permanent.
What type of anesthesia is used for otoplasty?Otoplasty can be performed using local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia. If the surgery is done under local anesthesia, medications are administered before the procedure to provide the patient with additional comfort.
What are the risks and complications associated with otoplasty?As with any surgical procedure, there are a few risks associated with otoplasty. These include infection, anesthesia risks, poor wound healing, unfavorable scarring, lack of symmetry, and bleeding.
Can otoplasty affect my hearing?The mechanism for hearing is located inside the ears. Otoplasty only involves altering the outside of the ears, so it will not affect a patient's hearing.

This week, not particularly cold weather, the drivers side washer jet seems fine at town speeds. But on the motorway, there doesn't seem to be enough pressure to make the jet reach the screen. It just squirts to where the wipers sit. Any ideas? AL

I am an actress and writer, based in London. I have recently written a feature film and am starting a couple of TV shows this year. Whilst at the University of St Andrews (studying Art History), I decided I write a play in which I could play the lead character. Thus 'Giulietta' was born. I took 'Giulietta', based on the true story behind Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to the Edinburgh Fringe 2014, where we received 4* reviews.
I absolutely love writing and have been doing so since a very young age. Although I am currently working on screenplays, I also specialise in poetry and have had various poems published in anthologies.
I think creative writing can be important and cathartic. I'd love to have the opportunity to inspire others to write!
I don't have any specific teaching qualifications, but I think that my passion for acting and creative writing will help me to inspire my students. I have been writing creatively since I was able to hold a pen. I love working with both children and adults.
Creative writing, in my opinion, is about passion and imagination. My aim would be to bring these qualities out in my students, over and above any technical correctness. Although I will obviously help with grammar, spelling and other specific needs for writing, I aim to inspire my students to write to the best of their ability.
With acting, it is all about gaining confidence in your abilities. I will nurture my pupils and give them a sense of possibility so that they're able to unleash all their possibilities as actors.

Not a Good Sign – US Drone Fleet Infected with a Virus
Hard to get much detail from this story but if it is mostly true, we are mostly in real trouble with cyber-security.
Cybersecurity in Foreign Policy
I've begun spending more time on "cybersecurity" (quotes used because I'm not sure the industry has a standard definition of that term yet). This article in Foreign Policy is pretty high level but the parallels it draws between the coming age of bio weapons and cyber threats is pretty interesting.
From Deperimeterization to Borderless Networks
I've been embarrassed to see that it has been over a year since my last post on this blog. So why the long delay? Quite honestly my work has been so internally focused within Cisco that there wouldn't have been much I could say. But as I sit on a plane heading to Networkers (oops I mean Cisco Live!) it seems an appropriate time to reflect on what's been going on in the land of IT and IT security. I'm spending a lot more time with customers now and I think there are a few conversations worth having on this blog.
When I returned to Cisco in the fall of 2008 I was asked to look into a trend that had troubled many folks: known at the time as "deperimeterization." The Jericho Forum had coined the term and it struck fear into the hearts of many in the network security industry as it spelled a potential end to rich network security services and pointed towards a world of open and insecure networks interconnecting smart endpoints with security only at the application level.
My investigation into deperimeterization quickly expanded into a look at four interconnected trends: desktop virtualization, software-as-a-service, cloud computing, and IT consumerization. In the 18 months since my initial research these trends have gone from niche issues among a small group of strategists to mainstream concerns that need no explanation.
And what of deperimeterization? Cisco determined that the trend was real but instead of pointing towards open and dumb networks it actually pointed to even more sophisticated networks to enable the interconnection of the myriad devices that need to connect and collaborate. What are these devices' sole point of commonality? Not their OS; Microsoft's hegemony on the endpoint will continue to wane as traditional desktop PCs give way to a variety of different computing devices focused on all sorts of vertical applications and use cases. This new crop of devices will run different hardware, software, and not all devices will even have a human operator.
The only thing these devices have in common is that all will have a TCP/IP stack and will make use of a common network. This makes the network the natural architectural choice for the delivery of services across this diverse set of endpoints. Cisco has marshaled enormous resources behind this trend and has named it Borderless Networks. There is much more to say about all of this but I figured Cisco Live is as good a place as any to start the conversation.
Cisco SAFE 2.0
Just a quick note that the second version of Cisco SAFE came out this week at the RSA show. You can get it here. If you thought my original was long at 66 pages, prepare for a shock: the new one clocks in at over 300! I've not yet read it but I got an overview from some of the authors a couple weeks back and I liked what I heard. I guess I shouldn't make too many jokes about its length, it is still less than half the length of my book on the same subject.
While security best practices don't change quickly, we wrote the original SAFE back in 2000 and a lot has happened since then. Many of the foundation best practices remain very relevant but there are some new tools and techniques that can help protect networks against today's threats.
John Markoff's "Do We Need a New Internet?"
John Markoff has an op-ed in the New York Times where he makes the case for starting over on the Internet in order to improve security. Lots of others are talking about his piece all over the blogosphere–this discussion is clearly warranted. Markoff's arguments are flimsy and supported by vague statements from experts. One of those experts, Gene Spafford, has already repudiated the implied conclusions of the piece.
My biggest complaint is that in an article entitled, "Do We Need a New Internet?," the absence of quotes from anyone who would answer that question, "No" is irresponsible, even for an op-ed. "Starting over" is a very naive perspective in the engineering of in-production systems. I've been in meetings throughout my career where someone in the room said, "If only we started over." That is a tantalizing thought, but ultimately impossible in the real world.
Yes, it was Nortel.
To the surprise of no one who read the comments to my earlier post, it is now official that Nortel was the purchaser of Identity Engines' IP assets. They updated the IDE homepage with a short message and contact info for more information. Given that they are inviting IDE customers to contact Nortel's account teams, I'm hopeful that they'll be providing some ongoing support options to existing IDE customers. Have any IDE customers contacted Nortel yet? What was the result?
Google's Security is not Unbreakable
Full Disclosure: I have never worked directly with, nor had the opportunity to review, Google's security practices. My post applies equally to Google as it does to any large site aggregating private information in perpetuity.
Google's security protections, though they are certainly extensive, can't possibly stand the interminable test of time. As Oracle learned many years ago, nothing is unbreakable. Google themselves just fixed holes in the SAML implementation behind their single sign-on service. However, if you look at the core tenets of the way Google aggregates private consumer information, there exists the assumption that there won't be such a breach. Take Gmail for example; users are told "you'll never need to delete another message." Turning on personalized search, as another example, causes Google to start saving your search and browsing histories. Google even recently ventured into the medical record business with their Google Health offering. On that homepage they proudly state, "We will never sell your data. You are in control. You choose what you want to share and what you want to keep private."
This seems to be the basic thrust of privacy policies from Google and other websites. The data is yours, we won't sell it, and if we mine it, we'll keep you anonymous. As a consumer I think privacy policies are a great and necessary advance for the web, even though the vast majority of users probably ignore them. However, privacy policies have the assumption of a perfect system. They talk about what the company is obligated to consciously do or not do with your data. They often don't say anything about what happens if their site is compromised. The reason, of course, is once compromised there's nothing they can do.
This intersection of fallible security with infinite private data is perhaps most troubling. There is a good possibility that my children will never have a classic mail account with local mail storage on their computer. They may never need to store photos on their own machine, preferring instead to use online services (Google has one already, of course). They'll likely write their documents, store their financial and medical data, and build and maintain contact with friends, all online. Google wants to be the provider of those services to my kids, but if they don't, someone else will. What is striking is the permanence of this data. Facebook, for example, doesn't delete your data when you leave their service preferring instead to simply "deactivate" your profile. In short, it isn't unreasonable to suggest that some children being born today will give Google or someone else the keys to all the private digital data that they will ever generate in their entire lives. It isn't paramount what Google will or won't do with that data as many are arguing but rather what the future infamous hacker will do–Google's privacy policy doesn't apply to her.
Those of us who are older have our lifetime of data spread across outdated computer hard drives and software, sitting on backup CDs somewhere, or tucked away in an "old computer" directory on our current system. I'm not arguing that this data is any better protected but an adversary needs to single out an individual to get it or target systems running a particular OS or browser version. The online data, by contrast, might be more methodically protected but it is also more widely damaging if the protection fails.
So what can be done about it? From Google's perspective they need to spend on security like the lives of their customers depend on it. As Cory Doctorow said, "Personal data is as hot as nuclear waste." For consumers there are a few things you can do. However, I'm not sure avoiding all online services is one of them unless you like the mountains and don't feel too attached to flush toilets. For starters:
- Choose companies that recognize the risk, recognize the trust you are placing in them, and most importantly are making the investment to back the talk up.
- Spread your data out among multiple services (i.e. Email at Google, photos at Yahoo). This is the classic all-your-eggs-in-one-basket argument. While it is conceivable that one provider could have a more vigilant security operation than all others, it is far less risky to assume there will be a compromise of your data somewhere and therefore try to mitigate the extent of the exposure.
- Select the data you are willing to share online carefully. The 'net community used to say, "Never put anything in an email that you would be embarrassed to see posted on the office bulletin board." This belief was woefully short-sighted with regard to the extent that the Internet has permeated all aspects of our lives. Consider storing things online that you must have access to from a wide variety of Internet devices or in situations where an online service offering is vastly better than an offline counterpart.
I must admit that this guidance is thin in comparison to the extent of the possible breach. What other ideas do folks have to reduce your risk?
Snyder and Stiennon Debate NAC; ANA Makes Guest Appearance
A recent Network World article highlights a lengthy debate between Joel Snyder and Richard Stiennon on the merits of NAC. It is a good read overall and ANA even makes a brief appearance thanks to a mention by Joel (Thanks Joel!). Here's the relevant exchange:
Joel_Snyder: I'll jump in here too. Sean Convery just wrote a paper on NAC. (He doesn't want to call it NAC, he calls it Authenticated Network Architecture — ANA). Anyway, the point he makes is that you don't need to have super fine-grained ACLs to get a huge reduction in risk.
Richard_Stiennon: *My* point would be that you NEED to get to fine-grained access control to secure your enterprise.
Joel_Snyder: Fine-grained is a spectrum. Aren't you the guy who just advocated VLANs? I'm saying that if you have coarse control, even go/no-go, that's a reduction in risk.
Richard_Stiennon: We agree.
Joel brings out one of the central novel points of the paper. Here's the relevant text (from section 7.3, page 14):
Organization architects that appreciate the capabilities that ANA provides often adopt a design that has many user roles. Larger organizations might have hundreds or thousands of groups in their user directory, and the natural conclusion is to define a network-access profile for each group. This approach, however, is very problematic, primarily because of the complexity involved in managing the large number of roles. In addition, the goal of ANA is not to supplant the application security infrastructure you have already built but rather to augment it. Instead of defining hundreds of roles for the network, a smaller number—likely much fewer than a dozen—can provide a huge boost in the sophistication of your network infrastructure, while remaining completely manageable.
If you think of your network now as essentially a network with one role (full access), then the rationale for adding more roles is to define the high-level separation of rights that provides the most significant security improvement at the most operationally insignificant cost. The roles most organizations should consider follow, beginning with the roles that should be created first. It is not important to deploy all the roles at once. Each additional role adds another layer of delineation to the existing definitions already deployed.
Standard access – This role is the default role that every user and device is currently a part of, whether through explicit authentication or implicit network connectivity. As you roll out ANA, you will gradually assign each user to a more specific role, with the goal of minimizing the number of users and devices that are a part of the standard access role.
Guest access – This role is the most significant role you can add, because it enables any sponsored visitor to connect to your network and gain authenticated access to the Internet at large. By providing easy-to-use guest access, you minimize occurrences of users trying to connect to your private internal network where they might have full access. Most individuals are just trying to get their work done, and if you give them an easy way to get to the Internet (and the network of their home location) everyone is better off. Section 11 details the specific design considerations and policy trade-offs of guest access.
Contractor access – Adding this role means that you no longer have to grant every contractor full access to your network. You can send contractors through a contractor VPN portal where they have access only to the specific systems that they need to fulfill their contract. This setup gives your organization the option to treat contractors more like guests and less like employees. You can grant specific access for only the defined duration of the contract. This solution also facilitates remote vendor troubleshooting or technical support in which an external support engineer needs, for example, 30 minutes of access to one specific system on your network.
Privileged access – When you introduce the privileged-access role, you curtail the rights of the standard-access role so that it no longer offers access to areas of the network deemed extremely sensitive, such as HR, finance, and R&D areas. Only the users who require access to such resources are placed in the privileged-access role.
In summary, with only four roles, you can significantly reduce unauthorized access to sensitive data. In most organizations, approximately 50% of the user base is part of the standard-access role, 10% has guest access, 20% has contractor access, and 20% has privileged access. With these four roles in place, sensitive systems remain exposed to a mere 20% of the user community.
The thing that often gets lost in these sorts of debates is that the network and the application security are cooperating to reduce risk. The network reduces the size of the funnel of potential attackers and attacks but the applications still provide their own–application specific–fine-grained access control. This isn't an all or nothing proposition, defense-in-depth still applies.
Introducing the Authenticated Network Architecture (ANA)
I'm thrilled to announce that my company just launched the Authenticated Network Architecture (ANA). ANA is a vendor-neutral framework that leverages industry standards for the design of an identity-centric security system. ANA was conceived as the next logical step from my earlier work with the Cisco SAFE Blueprint and builds on my textbook "Network Security Architectures". The ANA white paper goes into significant detail and breaks out deployment in five phases, each of which is incrementally beneficial and none of which requires a forklift upgrade (or any particular network vendor's gear). I recommend you check out the overview first but feel free to download the complete white paper.
As anyone who's familiar with my approach to white papers will know, the document does not pitch my company's products at all, in fact they are not even mentioned. Also, one of the nice things about working at a small company is I can revise the document and publish an update fairly easily. I'd love feedback from the community on information you'd like to see added, any errors you found, or just general comments. Here's the executive summary:
Network security has been evolving since its inception, sometimes slowly, sometimes in larger increments. As technology has shifted, best practices have slowly matured. What was a good idea two years ago is still likely a good idea today, with minor variations based on the evolving threats and business requirements. However, we are currently at an inflection point in the use of network-based security controls. Whereas previous designs focused almost exclusively on static policies, ï¬lter rules, and enforcement controls, a newer approach has emerged that promises much more dynamic options to address the increased mobility and diversity of today's network users.
This approach, called the Authenticated Network Architecture (ANA), is based on the notion of authentication of all users on a network and the association of each user with a particular set of network entitlements. For example, guests are granted access only to the Internet, contractors only to discrete network resources, employees only to the broader network as a whole, and privileged employees only to isolated enclaves of highly secured resources. Most of the capabilities described in the architecture have been available in shipping network infrastructure for many years. However, while the architecture itself does not mandate much in the way of equipment migration, it does require organizations to think differently with regard to their overall security framework. The cooperation of security and network architects with their more operationally inclined counterparts in IT is critical to ensure that the designs contained in this document evolve with the growing capabilities of your infrastructure.
This document outlines the ANA approach as a whole and describes how to migrate existing enterprise security designs to this more dynamic approach. In particular, it discusses the best practices that are emerging in ANA as well as the speciï¬c business requirements that influence deployment decisions.

1. Cheese: Dairy, generally, is a libido killer. For many, dairy is congesting and mucus-producing, so not the ideal way to feel before sex!
3. Chocolate: Choose your chocolate carefully, as not all chocs are bad. Go for dark chocolate that contains a minimum of 70 per cent cocoa, as it will be the most nutritious way to consume this delicious, sensual food! Dark chocolate is naturally high in many antioxidants. Choose raw for the highest possible levels of naturally occurring nutrients. Chocolate is rich in L-tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin. With good levels of serotonin, we feel happier and this decreases our stress levels. Dark chocolate also contains phenyl ethylamine, which is the same 'feel good' chemical that the body produces during those first moments of falling in love.
4. Hot dogs: The high saturated content of hot dogs can clog up the vaginal and penile arteries, making this the least romantic handheld treat around. All processed foods are a no for libido. Hot dogs are a very processed food in an overly processed bun that provides very little nutrition. You may feel sluggish and low in energy – not good for feeling sexy.
5. Peppermint: The menthol in peppermint has been shown to reduce testosterone levels, sending your sex drive plummeting. And while bad breath is a turn-off, definitely do not chew gum, as chewing brings more air into your system, making you prone to burp.
6. Tonic water: This often contains quinine, which is used as a flavoring agent in tonic water and some other beverages. Quinine has been used as an anti-malarial agent, but it's been linked to a decrease in sexual function, so avoid before sex.
7. French fries: Again, an overly processed food that has a very high glycaemic index, meaning that this food releases its energy very quickly into our systems. You may feel initially good on eating them, but pretty soon after, your energy levels will quickly slump, leaving you feeling low – all libido killers!
8. Red meat: For some, red meat energizes, providing them with iron, which will increase oxygenation throughout the body. For some people, red meat itself may make them feel more 'animal.'

So originally I was going to have two kids here for the weekend. Then their lives got in the way and they rescheduled. One came last weekend. The other will come next weekend. So for Family Day, it's just little ole Rick and me.
I just visited Jenn's blog, where I was blown away with her productivity in the dye pot. When she sets out to do something, get out of the way!!! Such gorgeous inventory for all her upcoming gigs.
I had a productive weekend, but in a different vein. I've been making lightweight clothes for my upcoming trip to Barbados. I have lots of "cottage friendly" summer clothes, but not many little dresses or fancy tops for dinners etc. in Paradise. So I dug into my stash of fabrics, my patterns that have been waiting to be made into something and got a good start on my Caribbean wardrobe.
Here's a little dress/coverup made of "nightie weight" cotton. It will be lovely and cool and very casual. I think that fabric was going to be a shirt a million years ago, but I think it may get more wear this way.
This is a jersey boat neck top. I can't even remember what it was going to be originally, but it finally IS something. I'll get some white lightweight crops to go with this. I did a little embellishment at the neckline. Little rosettes with beading.
Last but not least a little empire waist sleeveless top. I'm pretty sure it was one of the options for my daughter's drapes when she moved into her apartment.
So a good start, with four more things cut out and ready to go. It's fun to be back on the sewing machine and to be making things basically for free!! I feel like the vacation has already begun.

An Isogeometric design-through-analysis methodology based on adaptive hierarchical refinement of NURBS, immersed boundary methods, and T-spline CAD surfaces
We explore hierarchical refinement of NURBS as a basis for adaptive isogeometric and immersed boundary analysis. We use the principle of B-spline subdivision to derive a local refinement procedure, which combines full analysis suitability of the basis with straightforward implementation in tree data structures and simple generalization to higher dimensions. We test hierarchical refinement of NURBS for some elementary fluid and structural analysis problems in two and three dimensions and attain good results in all cases. Using the B-spline version of the finite cell method, we illustrate the potential of immersed boundary methods as a seamless isogeometric design-through-analysis procedure for complex engineering parts defined by T-spline CAD surfaces, specifically a ship propeller and an automobile wheel. We show that hierarchical refinement considerably increases the flexibility of this approach by adaptively resolving local features.

How to use essential oils
For skin application the essential oil must be diluted in a vegetable carrier oil such as cold-pressed sunflower oil or sweet almond oil. Use 7 -10 drops of essential oil to 25ml (five teaspoons) of carrier oil for adults, 3-5 drops for children under seven and 1-3 drops for children under the age of three. Do not use essential oils on newborn babies.
Any oil can be used in the bath. Add 5-10 drops for adults, 3-5 drops for children over two, and only one drop of a very gentle oil such as chamomile or lavender for younger children.
A combination of essential oils may be used.
Essential Oils for Sleep
A relaxing bath with essential oils of Roman camomile and geranium will help a person to unwind before sleep. A glass of camomile tea will complete the process.
A relaxant effect may be provided by oils of camomile, lavender, neroli, rose, and marjoram. Add a few drops to your bathwater or sprinkle a few drops on a handkerchief and inhale.
The following essential oils may be useful for management of sleep.
Benzoin (Styrax benzoin)
Benzoin is sedative, warming, and relaxing.
It is useful for: Sleeplessness caused by worry, emotional exhaustion, tension, bronchitis, and coughs.

Naked Wines, the boutique wine retailer, has doubled annual profits following a 50pc increase in "wine angel" investments over the past year.
The company, a venture capital fund for wine producers, allows its customers to invest into independent wine makers. In exchange, these customers get exclusive access to wines at wholesale prices – typically 40pc to 60pc below retail.
Operating profit last year approached £2m on worldwide sales of £53m, up 40pc on the previous 12 months. The company now boasts 220,000 armchair investors worldwide, putting £5m into the pot each month.
"The crowd funding idea has moved from the geeks to the mainstream," said founder Rowan Gormley. "Everywhere you look there are companies that are giving producers and consumers a better deal, at the expense of banks and supermarkets."
Naked Wines ships 25,000 bottles of wine each day across the UK, US and Australia, and has over £25m invested in more than 130 wine makers through its customer "angels" network.
Growth at the business has been driven by Naked Wines' US and Australian operations, now in their second year. "They are both going great guns," Mr Gormley claimed. "Margins are higher and we benefited from the learnings in the UK."
Mr Gormley forecasts another vintage year for Naked Wines in 2014, with strong sales growth in line with 2013. Profit, however, will remain static. "We plan to invest everything we can in new wines, winemakers and customers," he said.
Mr Gormley, who used to work for Sir Richard Branson at Virgin, where he ran both Virgin Money and Virgin Wines, launched Naked Wines in 2008. "Naked Wines has revolutionised the way that wine is financed, made and sold," he said.

Community Ensembles
Community Choir
The Snead State Community Choir is a non-auditioned group of singers made up of Snead students, faculty, staff, and persons from the Sand Mountain region who love to sing. The group presents a minimum of two concerts per year featuring renown choral music by historic and living composers, including major works such as Handel's Messiah as well as theme concerts such as "Music for the State", presented in the spring of 2013. The group presents concerts in conjunction with a community orchestra with players from the northern Alabama region as well as with piano and/or small instrumental ensemble accompaniment. Directed by Dr. Barbara Hudson, membership in the choir is open to all persons from ninth grade to age 90+ who can match pitch and blend with a group.
College credit is available for students who would like to sing in Community Choir as a credit course, but anyone can join by simply attending rehearsals regularly every Thursday evening during the school term. The group meets from 7:00 - 8:40 p.m. in room 103 of the Maze Music Building.
Snead students who are both music majors and non-majors are eligible to audition for a Choral Scholarship which allows students to receive a minimum of 4 credits of tuition waivers per year. With this scholarship, students can register for Snead's Concert Choir for credit and also register for Community Choir tuition free for both the fall and spring semesters. Students may also participate in both groups by registering for Concert Choir for credit and attending Community Choir for no credit, leaving 2 of the tuition credits for the student to use for whatever course, private lessons, or other ensembles they choose.

If I cant find something the second I look for it, I am throwing things around. I cant say one nice word. I havent bathed in weeks. (sorry too much information) I just cant be bothered. If someone cuts me off in traffic...well its a good thing the only weapon at my disposal is my fingers! I am not taking anything new in the medication department except they upped my pain medications. I cant imagine that would do it. Seems being in less pain should make me a bit happier. Except Im not really in less pain. I forget to take the darn things on time because I cant take them and drive my stupid errands so I have to wait till all my "duties" are done, the go home to take them...go to bed...rest, the rest of my family carries on doing squat while Im not there to make sure they do something...and the cycle starts again. It seems Im always being awakened to take someone somewhere that I just dont want to do! Im resentful as Hell! Everyone has a life but me. Ok...vent over

Endure the Tribulation
Endure the Tribulation
Bible References
For all those people who believe that Jesus will come back at any time, the Bible gives a time period to which Jesus will come back. This time period is After the Tribulation.
Many Christians have been taught that Christians will not have to endure the tribulation,
Matthew 24:29-31 states that the Son of Man will appear in the heavens "immediately after the tribulation" and He will send out His angels to gather His elect.
Mark 13:24-27 states that "after the tribulation", "they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds" and "then He will send His angels and gather together His elect".
Luke 21:25-28 states that there will be great distress in the world, nations and in the heavens and "then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud".
The Christians are commanded to endure to the end. The end meaning till the end of the world as it is known or until Jesus' return. According to the scriptures of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Christians will have to live or try to live through the Tribulation.
In Matthew 13:30, Jesus said that the weeds would be gathered "first" and burned and Matthew 13:41, Jesus said that the evildoers would be "gathered out of His kingdom" and thrown into the furnace.
In Matthew 10:22 Jesus said, "He who endures to the end will be saved". Verse 23 states when they are persecuted, "flee".
Matthew 24:6-31 Jesus tells about the end of the age and His Coming. He states all this, including wars, famines, false prophets, false Christs, earthquakes, death and persecution. He said that there will be great hatred for Christians and betray one another. He further stated that Christians would have to endure persecution and tribulation.
Mark 13: 7-13 Jesus told the followers that there would be earthquakes, wars, false Christs and famines that had to take place first before the return of the Son of Man. He told them that they would be beaten, bring the Christians to trial for Christ's sake and be hated.
In Mark 13:28-37 Jesus told His disciples to learn from the signs, that when these events take place, the end approaches. That generation that sees these signs will be this generation that will see all these events take place. Then Jesus told the disciples to "watch".
Over and over in the Bible, it states to flee from the cities to the mountains and the country because there would be great vengeance, man against man and hostility toward each other.
In Luke 21:36 it plainly states that Christian should pray all the time to have the strength to escape all these things that will take place and endure till Jesus comes back.
Acts 2:17-21 It states that people will dream dreams, see visions, will have events in the heavens, signs on the earth beneath, blood, fire, smoke, the sun will be darkened and the moon will be turned into blood "before the day of the Lord comes".
1st Corinthians 15:51-55 It states that "the Last Trumpet will sound and the dead will rise and we shall be changed" where "mortal nature must put on immortality".
2nd Timothy 3:1-5 States that in the last days, people would become wicked, thinking about themselves, become inhuman and haters of good. This further states that these people are to be avoided.
1st John 5:19 States that the whole world in the power of the evil one and certain angels have the authority to harm the sea and the earth. Rev.7:2-3 Locust like creatures are given power to torture mankind without the seal of God. Rev. 9:3-5 Rev. 13:5-18 The beasts are given authority and power to make war against the Saints of the Earth. The other beast mandates inhabitants of the Earth to worship the beast and demands that all be marked and not allowed to buy or sell without this mark.
The Saints are to endure the tribulation period, during trials and persecutions and keep the commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus. Rev. 14:12
God will send a strong delusion to make people believe what is false. 2nd Thes. 2:9-12
What You Think.
Have you been taught that Jesus might return any time, other than after the Tribulation?
What to Do ?
The Bible says to be strong in the Lord and be able to put on the armor of God. In this way, a Christian may be able to stand against the governments, the evil doings of people, principalities of the world, powers and rulers in the evil day. Truth and righteousness, along with gospel, peace, salvation and the word of God will help fend off the evil presence. (Ephesians 6-20) (1st Thessalonians 5:2-10) (2nd Thessalonians 2:3-12)
The critical warning in the Bible is to escape and endure the things that are coming.
According to the Bible, a Christian is to pray, study, fast, seek wisdom and learn. The Bible also gives some key verses telling of the End Times survival for Christians. The Bible states very directly not to take the mark of the beast, not to bow down to the beast and not to worship the beast. Many people will be killed, thrown in prisons, come down with sicknesses and beheaded. The Bible gives the percentage of ¼ and 1/3 of the population of the inhabitants of Earth dying. When this is added up, it becomes ½ of the population. (100-25=75-1/3=50%)
What would it take to be prepared to endure the Tribulation? First and foremost, the mindset of the person has to be right. The will to keep going, being positive and the gumption to survive and be intelligent would have to the starting points. The government politicians, the national media and the religious speakers inform the public of situations, events and future expectations. How much are just lies, half-truths and fabrications to keep the public docile? Only about 11 percent of the population can reason and think outside the box to extract what is the real truth. The rest of the population has to be told what to think and do.
The Bible plainly states that all these things have to happen before you see the coming of the Lord and that the Christians must endure to the end. During 9/11, the people inside the towers were told that the towers were safe and secure, that there was no reason to be frightened and to stay put because all was not dangerous. Not very much has been covered about the tower number 7, which was not hit, but also collapsed, but the people inside all three buildings, if listened to their officials would most likely to be dead, crippled or maimed. During Biblical times, the government and religious leaders were always imposing cruel and harsh punishments to the characters written about, including killing the babies, slavery, crucifixion, jail and stoning. Just because the media, the leaders and the politicians pronounce an event, news flash, shooting or an alert, start looking at the reasoning, the political agenda and the brainwashing that are involved and the results might be found as false statements. People must wake up, defend their grounds and open their eyes to what is actually happening.

Stocking Up
History accounts for the civilizations growing and stockpiling of food. This is not only prudent, but serves to have the nation, people and genetics to continue. The nations who did not practice this stockpiling before hard times or times of drought, quickly found themselves in debt and enslaved to those nations who had accumulated food. The same went for water. Those cities who did not have their own water source within the city, could not survive during invasion or when their walls were surrounded.
Not much of the US History records the droughts, the plagues and the failures in the US, but many tornados, volcanoes, typhoons, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, extreme weather patterns have occurred during the past history. There was even a "Year without a Summer" that happened in the US, in which it snowed all summer and crops could not be grown. One of the biggest concerns on the world scene is the threat of E.M.P., which could be natural from the sun or one that is manmade. One E.M.P. bomb exploded above Kansas could fry electronics, electrical components, the electrical grid and devices coast to coast. In just a short time, life without electricity could easily generate death in the millions, massive looting, killings and commercial devastation.
The stocking up of vital food and water is essential for the survival of people, the community and for the Nation. Recognizing there is a problem, planning and acting to find solutions would increase the survival rate. First and foremost, do not believe everyone and the media. The Founding Fathers saw evil, corruption and greed and created a document of faith that would protect the citizens. The Bible contains the statements of good and evil and how each generation has lived through heartache, hurt and the return to God. Today is not different! Greed, corruption, deception, dishonesty, evil and deceitfulness are still in full force today. Lies and more lies are being told and the use of media, the lies actually become written truth.
Stocked Up
Do you have any stocks and back-stocks of food and water to last more than 3 days?
Primitive Tools
The Bug-Out-Bag is a sure bet to help if there is any emergency that you cannot continue where you dwell. The BOB is a collection of articles and items that you must have to continue to live and survive for 72 hours. You must be the one to choose the items and each section of the country, the BOB will be different with special contents.
This bag should contain water, water treatment supplies, medical supplies, hygiene supplies, high energy food, matches, candles, survival blankets, flashlight, a knife, toilet paper, fire starting material, extra clothes and other items needed to survive. Many other items may seem beneficial and indispensable, so research and education are required to find the best suited items for you and the environment.
Other items that are recommended are: Magnifying glass, compass, pencil, paper, saw, antibiotics, diarrhea medicine, salt tablets, fish hooks, line, needle/thread, sleeping bag, survival books, axe, machete, guns, ammo, bow/arrows, slingshot, poncho, batteries, radio, CB radio, weather radio, drill, screws, towel, soap, washcloth, scissors, hammer, nails, screwdriver, tent, tarp, cups, plates, can opener, cards, Swiss army knife, Leatherman tool, whistle, garbage bags, Wal-Mart bags, rope, string, telephone numbers, checks/cash/barter items, camper stove, fuel, MRE's, snake-bite kit, prescription drugs, spare keys, important papers/documents
Preparation Supplies
The Future and Enduring
The Bible has stated that all these things have to come to pass before the Lord comes again.
Jesus comes after the Tribulation and Christians are commanded to "ENDURE TO THE END".
It is up to each Christian to find the truth, realize that evil, and lies are everywhere and when it is stated, "Peace and Security", Christian ears and eyes should be at attention, ready to move, act and get going. Over and over, it is stated that during these perilous and terrifying times, a person might not survive if they are not prepared to move forward and have to turn around and go back for supplies.
Be ready at all times, have more than one plan, learn different skills, be knowledgeable, be educated and study. Be on the alert for lies and untruths. Ask for guidance, wisdom and direction from God. The time that truth become lies and lies become truth is here and evil forces are trying to undermine the United States. There are some Christians, Oath Keepers and Patriots that are not blinded or overtaken by the lies and are taking steps to fight the evil. Knowing the agenda and the plans of evil ones have advantages than not knowing anything. Do not be that frog sitting in the pot of water, slowly growing hotter, only to know you are cooked when it is too late.
Hi Laurens,
What you have said in the first half is pretty much correct and thank you for it - I hope others will be fed by it.
I'm not too convinced or sure with what you say in the second half regarding prepping, that could be encouraging others to follow that advice and may lead to putting oneself outside the plan that God has for us and in considerable danger - Matthew 6: 25 - 34 are the only verses that tell us what we should be doing/expecting, which will demand a huge amount of faith and as you say, having a preparedness of mind will be so important. Because without it we could be taking our own way instead of relying and trusting in the Spirit to lead us.
When I first came to begin to understand Revelation, I had thoughts along those lines as well and knowing the entire Tribulation is going to last 7 years, of which the last 3.5 years will be the worst, disallowing us to buy and sell, this will rule out any stockpiling of canned food. Have you ever thought that 3.5 years worth of food just for one person is a small mountain!
I have also posted about this on hubpages, END OF DAYS is the heading and I would invite you to have a look at it. Be prepared for a long read though and I would welcome your comments.
Best regards,
I do believe many things can and are happening but the words from our God to us is to not worry about these things. We are to live by faith like the woman with the little oil that was multiplied by God. I do look out for future events and put back but I am not doing it biblical. Worry is not to be a part of a Christian's life. Jesus said:
Matthew 6:25-27 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
It is Jews who are told to flee to the mountains and that is probably mid tribulation when the false prophet will claim to be God. ( I personally think this is when Jesus calls us because the anti-Christ will be revealed at that time. They will know then they missed the first coming of their saviour.
It is possible we will see some of tribulation and well we already are and what about the many many Christian in the mid east who have been slaughtered. It was not God who killed them though and God has never put His wrath on His own and so he won't now. We know a certain group (gog and magog "Russia" fighters) will be killed and everyone will know it was God Himself that killed them. Look at where they are right now and how potentially close all these prophesies are.
So many Christian have and will die but God did not let Noah and his family die when he brought flood nor wrath that he sent to Sodom and Gomorrah went against Lot and his daughters but only his wife who looked back not obeying God's word. His wrath will come against all the evil that is in this world very soon and He will not destroy His own; no one who knows Him could believe that.
Jesus will shout for us and we will rise with the dead and we will be with Him when He returns to rule over the earth. Why would anyone want to miss that, and the love God has for them. I just cannot imagine.
So many today do not realize they certainly worship a god; just the wrong one. He has fooled so many for so long.
You have done a good job with this article. But for we non-believers, it's just so much more nonsense. I am personally sick of seeing all the trouble being caused by religion in this world today. This damned Jihad and the reaction of Christian fundamentalists who are as bad as the mullahs. Goodness me, isn't there enough mystery and beauty in the world and the slowly unfolding secrets of the universe without wasting our wonderful minds on a false philosophy for which we have no credible evidence, protestations from zealots to the contrary.

Sunday Lunch at Merchants
March 6, 2015
We can say what we want about our Sunday lunch, but we are a all a bit partial of course… so we thought we'd see what you say about our Sunday lunch!
"This is a great place to spend a relaxed Sunday afternoon and they are really welcoming to children too. We are looking forward to returning soon for dinner- it's definitely going to become a regular haunt."
Hmmm… Did I hear anyone say Mother's Day is coming up? On 15th March?? Kids, bring your mum (and dad)!
"We went for the 3 course Sunday Lunch just gone – OUTSTANDING value at only £25!! … This is the third time I've been and it gets better every time. PERFECTION."
We like the capitalised emphasis here!
"Sunday dinner worthy of the highest praise."
Ok that was for dinner but worth mentioning, right? Doesn't lunch and dinner all blend into one anyway on Sundays? We serve food until 9pm.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

After the terrible first day of our tour of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, we awoke in the morning to find that we were dreading another day of the same thing. We were up early in Can Tho to visit the Cai Rang Floating Market, one of the best in the Mekong Delta. This was one of the things that I was most looking forward to in the tour; however after the previous day, I was expecting to be rushed around the market and not have any time to actually see anything. We were both in a pretty sombre mood as we walked through town to the pier.
Hopping on the boat, it was nice to feel the fresh morning air against my skin as the boat made its way along the Mekong River. This morning, our guide actually seemed happy to talk to the English speaking tourists, a vast contrast to the day before when we were mostly ignored. Before long I could see lots of boats gathered together on a stretch of the river up ahead, and I knew that we were nearly at the market.
Slowing down to a crawl, our driver made his way between the many different boats anchored in the river. Large boats carrying different produce from their farms along the Mekong were selling goods to the smaller local boats. You can tell what they are selling by the produce that they have displayed on a tall pole at the front of their boats. Some were selling pineapples, others potatoes and more still selling a whole selection of different fruits and vegetables.
Suddenly, a lady on a small boat came up beside us selling fruit, and attached her boat to ours with some hooks so that she could float along with us while she did business. Before long, others were gathering around, and as one boat left, another would join on. It was a hive of activity, and apart from the huge produce boats and traders, locals on small boats were going around selling food and drinks. One lady was even selling lottery tickets. They all go from boat to boat and most stopped at ours to see if we wanted anything. Some of our group bought fruit, while we bought a fresh iced coffee off a lady and her son who were selling hot drinks.
We spent quite some time floating around the market, and we even stopped at one of the large boats that were selling pineapples. I was truly surprised at how much time we had to enjoy Cai Rang Floating Market, and the nice slow pace in which we took to explore it. This was so much better than the previous day, and I was once again excited to be in the Mekong Delta.
Have you visited a floating market? What was your experience like?

Social media is now becoming easier than ever to use in your daily life. Snapchat's parent company Snap is now selling their YouTube famous Spectacles online in the US.
Yes, you can now buy your own pair Snapchat recording glasses to start filling your own feed with more content easier than ever. They glasses come with a charging cable and case, along with the pair for $129.99. When considering the price, it is actually lower than expected!
These glasses have been a hot topic thanks to Snap using YouTubers and pop up vending machines in NYC. Many have thought the promotion was a stunt to bring more awareness and interest in the brand. However, due to seeing the hype and interest in the actual glasses has made Snap take the product more seriously now. Hence why they will be selling these through their website, which will also sell spare charging cases and cords via their site. Meaning Amazon will no longer be carrying these items.
Here are some quick facts:
- You have up to 6 pairs in one household
- Shipping can take 2-4 weeks
- Charging cases cost $50.00
- Cords cost $10.00
- They come in 3 colors
- No word on if/when it will be sold in other countries
It will be interesting to see how well these perform compared to Google Glass. However, I am not sure if these will make a big enough impact to stick around. I do expect that Instagram and Facebook will need to find a way to compete with these. However, they may also wait to see how well these sell and that wouldn't be a bad move either.
Have you tried Snap's Spectacles? If so, did you like them? If not, are you curious to see how these work? Tell me in the comments!
