JOEL 3:9,10,11 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men,
let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning
hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and
gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.
ISAIAH 13:3,4,5 I have commanded my holy ones; I have summoned my warriors to carry out
my wrath---those who rejoice in my triumph. Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great
multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The Lord Almighty is
mustering an army for war. They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens---the Lord and
the weapons of his wrath---to destroy the whole country.
1CORINTHIANS 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion.
2CORINTHIANS 5:7,8 We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would
prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
JOHN 10:30 I and my Father are one.
ISAIHA 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew thier strength; they shall mount up
as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
To wait on the Lord. - Wait in Hebrew means to bind together or entwine - not patiently sit
idle and hesitate but to actively incorporate God's decrees into ones being. It is a pro-active position.
REFERANCE: Arnold Murry, Shepards Chappel, Gravette, Ark.
PROVERBS 24:17,18,19 Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let
your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him. Do not fret
because of the evil men or be envious of the wicked, for the evil man has no future hope and the lamp of
the wicked will be snuffed out.
1. Why does it say that by nature some acknowledge the truth.
You cannot incorporate quality aspects into your person without becoming aware of how God
thinks. It is impossible to try to say to yourself, I will leave God alone and become and do good on my
own. Being and doing good are Godly aspects so when you do them you are incorporating himself within
you whether you want to or not.
2. Lutherans and some other protestant sects believe that when Christ said on the cross "Father,
forgive them for they know not what they do." that forever changed the way we should offer forgiveness
to those who have done wrong without any reservation or any repentive aspects. Complete animinity and
complete unobstructive forgiveness for anything. They were very good at pointing out many places where
other sects of Christian faith take one line out of the Bible and twisted it to thier own perspective and
adgenda and this is where this has backfired on them. They always said, and correctly so, that for
something to be true you can find 3 other confirming statements to back up your belief. Christ said
" Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand !" He repeatedly said that a person needed to truly repent.
If complete forgiveness was going to be given he would not have come to earth. This wrongful
interpretation is just been fabricated for propeganda and selling aspects to would be financial benifactors.
It is an easy sell to everyone exept its victums who have been run roughshod over and are filled with
rightous indignation. I understand the point of view they were using to utilize this perception but more
indepth thought exposes its folly. Uninhibited generousity is not what is being offered.
3. Is rape defined by its physical overpowering or its phsycological victimization aspects.
In the western culture a male basically seduces a female to get a mate. This demeans both parties.
The male has to aquire predatory aspects to succeed. There may be wide differences in acceptable
practices but the underlying format is principly the same, just varying degrees. In some cultures the
families arrange marriages to bypass this but they have unfortunetly succumed to greed in barganing and
losing site of the happiness of thier offspring. For a male to successfully seduce a female he must use
intrique, carisma, style, overtures, personna, and financial boasting, all of which can be false and
misleading. If she is seduced for short term sexual gratification she feels the same abandonment and
phsycological trama as she would as if she had been physically forced into sex.
4. Communism is not a long term workable plan. Trouble in the Balkans has errupted because
of two phylisophical ideals. One is to have few children and make sure they are well provided for and the
other is to have many children and hope some of them turn out ok to carry on the family name and then
thier are more to fight in a war if one breaks out, but then the ones who are better taken care of are trained
to more proficiently kill during a war. This is the reason of the war in the Balkans because the ones with
fewer children are being multiplied out of position by people they see don't live within thier means. While
wars have been fought over the type of vechicle to use to form a lasting government, they have all
failed because no specific vehicle will determine what is in your heart and mind.
5. The killing of animals to aquire thier attributes is one of the stupidest things ever concieved.
Animals have no mystical life forces. God created them for food for our substanance and to balance an eco
system until it is needed for human habitat.
6. There is no practical reason to believe the earth was made in six days. The scopes monkey
trial exposed the folly of this. And instead of reevaluating thier perception they made the mistake of
making war against evolution rather than reevaluate the path of creation. To discount science you must
discount all science and discount the proven scientific meathod. This is just stupid and people who
practice this are misleading you and should be ignored. Even Albert Einstien had enough common sense
to admit he made a blunder when he called for a constelational constant. Einstien was a Jew and realized
this interpretation was wrong. Being of Jewish background he would have had more ability to distinguish
between Hebrew words and he didn't believe the world was created in six 24hr. days. His famous words
should have awakened the ignorant, God doesn't play dice! Just as God calls himself " I am that I am ",
reality is what reality is, no mysticism, no illusion.
7. True enjoyment comes from seeing and bringing about happiness in others.
8. The New Testament incorporated more demands on the individual but help was provided by
having the laws placed on the heart and conscience.
9. The only legitimate way to rebel against authority is to become better and smarter than they
are, and it is unfortunate that that doesn't require very much effort.
10. When you sin, it has the same effect as allowing satan to come before God and make
flamboant ridicuals of your weakness and insult God's effort in making you in his own image.
11. Emotional pain is felt by God when you sin. When discomfort and anxiety fall into your life
and you have emotional pain as a result, you then also know the feeling God feels when you commit a
sin. It is because you are a part of his creation and are intertwined with his being. The people who say
give your problems over to God and let him carry them are irresponcible. God expects you to quit sinning,
not cast off your conscience and continue in depravation and ask for forgiveness just before you die.
When you feel emotional pain consider it as a blessing and allow your self to know how God feels
when things are going bad. The only way to feel better is to become involved in a constructive,
realistic plan of action for forward progress to resolve the ills of society and life. Reason and
comprehension must be your corner stones. One can hypothasise and speculate but it takes having
a constructive dialog followed by an implamentable plan of action to bring about a positive result.
12. Augustine, Luther, and Calvin's views on total depravity from birth are completely in error.
If that was the case, then why does a new born infant spit up, that is to lose thier stomach when an
evil person comes in thier midst. It is because it is so much of a shock to thier spiritually pure system.
Sin is learned, and becomes gradually a ussual experiance.
13. Prayer, to successfully ackamplish bennifits of prayer one must remove all motivation
for self, that is all aspects of self. One must consider that God recieves nothing for answering prayer
so we should ask for nothing for ourselves when we pray for something. This is also the key to
successful prayer. God is good and is concerned for the benifit of his children as evidenced by his
words for prayer for good whether for everyone because the sun raises on the rightous as well as the
unrightous. One must remove even self recognition for the benifits of successful prayer as Jesus said
to pray by one's self, and also to remove any self gain for it. One may become discouraged from
recieving an answer to prayer for someone else who has a disease only to have them aquire another
disease, but one must realize then the true culprit is these people haven't made the nessasary remmadies
in thier lifestyle to have the nessasary rightousness incorporated into thier being. One must conclude
then that this person needs apropriate instruction and follow up visits to insist that evil is removed from
this person's thoughts. Another possible reason is that this person is being resented by, or is just in
contact with a satanically possesed person. Some people are not aware of the amount of evil that some
people are capable of and this nievity could be litteraly be crippling to them so all aspects must be
contemplated. Your first measure should be to remove this person from people who are capable of
abortion. It has been my experiance that this is the problem. These people use the reproductive gifts
God has given them to kill people, the big bully cenario. This is purely satanic and is your easiest way
to check for satanic possesion.
Don't let your daughters marry a man who doesn't know God completely. God is love, and you can't know what love is if you do't know God. You aren't capable of loving someone else if you don't know how.

Zic & Tired: Kiatisak Quits Port
Yesterday afternoon Port announced what we'd all known since midway through Wednesday's second-half capitulation against Chonburi: Zico has left the building, leaving the club looking at their 8th coaching appointment since the start of 2015 and raising more questions about the competence of the club's management.
It was not quite a reign of Frank De Boer-esque brevity, but at 3 months and a mere 10 league games it was pretty damn close, and whilst Zico's stats are slightly better than Frank's, the figures are still pretty damning – 1 win in 10 league games (against doomed Thai Honda), 3 draws, 6 defeats, 6 points from a possible 30. It's that last stat, and its comparison with his predecessor Jadet, that truly damns Zico. Under Jadet this season, Port averaged 1.70 points per game – enough to give them 58 points over a whole season. Under Zico, that figure plummeted to 0.6 points per game, or just over 20 points per season – guaranteed relegation.
You could of course argue that Zico was given a bad hand. He joined Port at the end of a transfer window which had already seen the Maranhao/Kaludjerovic debacle as well as the departures of Hansson, Asdrubal, Tatchanon & Pinyo, leaving him little time to improve a threadbare squad – anyone doubting the poverty of Zico's resources would merely need to have looked at the bench on Wednesday and observe Wuttichai, Tana and Siwapong sitting on it to realise that Port's player cupboard is bare. And there were some good performances under Zico, notably the home defeat to Chiang Rai (when only a miraculous goalkeeping display from Nont deprived the home side of 3 points) and the 0-0 draw at Bangkok Glass, one of the team's finest performances of the season.
But what really undid Zico was a string of poor performances against struggling teams that Port would've expected to beat. That laboured away win at Ayutthaya in the League Cup for example, or the pitiful late capitulations against Sukhothai and Police Tero. Zico would've known that making a silk purse out of a sow's ear is part of the job description for Port coaches, and whilst Jadet was adept at getting his players to punch above their weight, Zico appeared to lack his predecessor's inspirational powers. A few vignettes stick in the mind: Port's goalkeeping coach interrupting Zico's cosy chats with Madame Pang to alert him to what was going on on the pitch; substituting Suarez in the middle of one of his rare good performances (against Sukhothai) to replace him with the hapless Siwapong; telling Pakorn, the club's finest attacking talent, to play in defence at Police Tero; and in the same game, Zico & his mates on the bench having a good laugh after Josimar missed a header. The impression was of a man who had no idea how to get the best out of a limited but enthusiastic squad, and who didn't really care that much either.
For Mme Pang of course, the appointment was only ever a PR/marketing exercise, and on those terms at least, it has been a success. Brand Port has been all over the media, raising the club's profile (if not necessarily its stature), whilst Brand Pang has also been burnished, showing the big swinging dicks at Buriram & Muangthong that she too has the metaphorical balls to pull off the big moves. If things didn't work out on the footballing side, so what? Port will still, barring a miracle, be a T1 club next season, so what does a little mid-season chaos & disruption matter?
What next for Zico? Well, as one who doesn't follow the Thai national team I take as much interest in Zico now as I did before he joined Port, ie very little. What matters to The Sandpit is what's next for Port. It seems that Mme Pang has given Jadet his old job back, with a fresh (and no doubt improved) two-year contract, but the old problems still remain – an inadequate playing squad, a leaking defence, an utterly clueless recruitment policy, and most significantly, La Pang's limited contract as chairwoman which prevents any long-term planning. Pang needs to extend her tenure as soon as possible, and give Jadet – or whoever is in the post come the end of the season – complete autonomy (and a proper T1 budget) in the transfer market. A dedicated defence coach would help too.
As it is, the latest episode in the ongoing Port FC soap opera – Dallas meets Mike Bassett – is now over, and we await the next drama with morbid interest. In years to come, Thai football historians will look back on Zico's brief reign as they do on Kayne Vincent's Port career, the departure of Maranhao or the existence of Siwapong – by scratching their heads and asking themselves "What the fuck was THAT all about?"

Country music singer-songwriter Cam knows how to do the Stagecoach Country Music Festival right. Though it's only her second time at the annual country music festival in Indio, she came in like a seasoned pro. The 32-year-old California native must have impressed both fans and concert promoter Goldenvoice with her early Mane Stage debut back in 2015 since she's back and playing an early evening slot this year on Sunday.
Even though she was scheduled on the final day of the fest, going on just before Tyler Farr and headliner Kenny Chesney, she made a weekend of it, setting up an elaborate and fun camp back in the artist compound. With the help of California-based Tinker Tin Trailer Co., Cam transformed her area into a vintage campground complete with a photo booth, bubble machine, popsicle freezer, a Tipi and a fully-loaded sunny, yellow camper trailer.
"That's one of the things I love about Stagecoach," Cam said while kicking back in a rustic-looking chair and enjoying a popsicle backstage. "They make artists feel so good. Usually, the ambiance is saved for the front where the stage and crowd is, but a lot of that has found its way backstage and artists actually do wanna hang out back here. It's definitely not hot trailers and port-o-potties and lame festival food. I heard that Katy Perry has done something similar at Coachella and I can't be outdone at Stagecoach! We wanted to make our area as magical as possible."
Though she didn't offer any new music during her performance on Sunday, she did play a breezy version of "California Dreamin'" and, of course, her Grammy-nominated hit, "Burning House," off of her major label debut, "Untamed." Looking back on the single, which was released on June 16, 2015, Cam said the reception was surprising.
"People didn't quite think that 'Burning House' was something that would be a big hit," she said. "It doesn't have drums and it didn't fit with what was on the radio at the time so when it hit, it was really touching that people actually liked it. On an emotional level, it means a lot because it's about going through something and it felt nice to know that others could relate. We don't give listeners enough credit. Everyone thinks they know what people are going to like and it's the stuff they'd heard a million times, but in this case it was something different and that inspired me."
Cam said new music is coming slowly but surely, though she's got a lot of touring on her schedule. She's opening for George Strait for several of his Las Vegas shows and she'll head out with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill for a few dates on their summer tour.
"Playing with George is amazing," she said. "His fans know good music and at his shows, it's like the soundtrack to your life. People are laughing, crying and dancing. You know that trend in music now where you have tracks blasting and you dance around and fake play, well that doesn't fly in front of George Strait. It's been wonderful to watch and learn from him."
Cam graduated from the University of California, Davis where she studied law and psychology. She was heavy into psychology research when she had to make the choice to either stick with the safe opportunity or take a leap of faith with her music. Obviously, she chose the latter, but it wasn't easy.
"I did the psychology research and I was decent at it and doing some pretty good stuff, but it had its ups and downs," she said. "Music has its ups and downs, too. It's all about doing something that you want to do, something where you can put up with the downs and really enjoy the highs. I've realized that in life you're not always as trapped as you think you are."

The Avalon by Sunrise spell energy comes from a specific meditation involving a priestess of Avalon; a visualisation where a priestess of Avalon stands before the great lake all dressed in white, hair flowing loosely in the breeze, bare feet amongst the dewy grass, hands outstreched to draw down the power of the first light of sunrise at Summer Solstice.
Light flickers across the lakes surface, shimmering and bringing with it energies of joy, hope and magick.
The energy of Avalon by Sunrise is the gentle warmth of the Sun, an energy of revitalization, connecting us to the power of Solar energy and Solar deities in this loving form.
The concept of drawing down the first light of sunrise, be it at Solstice or otherwise, is a powerful spiritual and magical act that infuses you with an energy of well-being and bathing you in pure light.

Today's guest writers are a pair of authors, Erin O'Riordan and Tit Elingtin who bring an excerpt from their novel, Eminent Domain.
An Excerpt from Eminent Domain
After Jeff finished his meal he moved up to the bar. He sat on the bar stool he called his "Norm seat." Steve was bartending. He said, "Hey buddy, how's it going?""Good, Steve. How have you been?" Jeff asked.
"What can I get you?" Steve said.
"Guinness, please, and a shot of Gentleman Jack."
Jeff loved talking with Steve. He sat there drinking for a hour. Kendra called while he was at the bar and they talked for a while too. Jeff told her about his fishing adventure and said he would call her when he got home. It was a little after eight o'clock, and Jeff decided to call it a night. "You can total me out," Jeff said to Steve, giving him his credit card. Jeff wrote $300 in the tip slot and gave Steve instructions: "You keep a hundred. Give Jim and Jenny a hundred each, okay?"
"Wow! You bet, Jeff," Steve said.
Jeff said his goodbyes to everyone and went to the back door. It was raining. He paused there, thinking about calling a cab for the four-block journey. Jenny came around the corner.
"Thanks, hun, for the tip. That was awesome. You have no idea how much I needed it."
Jeff said, "No problem. You deserve it. Are you going out for a smoke?"
"No, going home. I'm done for the night. What are you doing?" Jenny asked.
"It's raining. I'm thinking about calling a cab. It's too cold to walk home wet."
"I'll give you a ride. Come on."
Jeff didn't hesitate. He followed Jenny out to her car, parked nearby. She pushed the unlock button on her key fob and they jumped in out of the rain.
Jeff said, "I live on Cedar Street. The bridge is in my front yard."
"I know where you live. I've been there before," Jenny said.
Jeff looked surprised. Jenny said, "When Lex lived there I was there a few times. Please don't say anything, but I think it's awful how he's treated you and Kendra."
Jeff said, "I won't say anything. Thank you. He'll learn someday. I can't be invested in him anymore. He treats me like I'm second class and I won't put up with that."
Jenny said, "I don't blame you. I have to stay out of it since he's my boss." Jenny pulled into Jeff's driveway and turned off her car. "I'd love to see what it looks like now that you've finished it," she said.
Jeff stopped, his hand on the door handle. "I'd love to let you, but Kendra's not here. I've always had a thing for you, Jenny, but Kendra and I have an agreement: no one of the opposite sex in the house without the other one being here. I love her too much to break my rule. I'm sorry. I hope you understand."
"Kendra's a lucky woman to have you," Jenny said.
"You tell her that next time you see her. She knows I like you. She'll be fine with knowing you said that. She'll know you brought me home. I tell her everything." Jeff winced, knowing he was keeping a big secret from Kendra. He exited the door and said, "You have a good night, Jenny. Thanks for the ride."
"Thank you for the tip!" Jenny said.
Jeff went into the house. Grabbing his cell phone from his pocket he called Kendra. "Hi, baby. I miss you." He told her everything that had happened since they last talked. They talked for an hour. Jeff sat in what he called "The Helm," a bay window area on the second floor that looked out to the river. He sat in his favorite chair, drinking Jack Daniels, and passed out.

'Midsummer (a play with songs)' was written by two Scots in their mid-forties; playwright David Greig, and composer and songwriter, Gordon McIntyre. Edinburgh born, David Greig was raised in Nigeria. This staunch Scottish independence supporter became a theatre director, and has been connected with many of the major National Theatres. His scripts range from the children's play, 'Tintin in Tibet', to the adult play 'Caligula'.
Composer Gordon McIntyre was for several years in the Scottish, post-punk band 'Ballboy'. McIntyre explains that the songs do not tell the story (as in opera), but expresses the feelings of the characters – his play with songs – besides 'the term 'opera' or 'musical' can frighten away the punters!'
First performed at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, this hilarious Black Swan State Theatre Company presentation is showing at the Heath Ledger Theatre, State Theatre Centre of WA, 176 William Street, Northbridge.
The 90-minute performances run nightly at 7.30 until Saturday 23rd. There are matinees on Saturday the 16th and 23rd November at 2.15, with one Sunday matinee on the 24th November at 5.00 pm.
It is the Midsummer long-weekend, and in an Edinburgh pub a lonely, attractive young woman, Helena (Georgina Gayler) a divorce lawyer, is sitting alone. Across the room, she sees a scruffy man, Bob (Brendan Hanson). Bob is a bland man with no particularly desirable features; he is also drinking alone and so, fancying a 'bit of ruff', Helena asks if she can join him. Bob cannot believe his luck, but he shares a few wines – and hopes his dreams will come true.
Next morning it becomes obvious that their quick 'one night stand' is not going to be that simple. As the friendship builds, we learn their secret thoughts about each other and their screwed-up lives in general.
For the whole, ridiculous, decadent and wild weekend, we follow them through the historic streets of Edinburgh, as they create their own hysterical history.
The accents were indeed from Edinburgh (as is my wife), slightly shaky, but most admirable as the two superb actors kept up the characterisation for the full 90-minutes. At least they did not fall for the mistake of having a Billy Connelly-style Glasgow accent. Congrats, go to accent coach Julia Moody.
There are many references to areas and buildings in Edinburgh, and so the Edinburgh Festival programme included a map of their adventures. Some of the jokes were very local such as 'I appeared on Radio Four (our equivalent to 720), well actually it was Radio Forth (originally a pirate pop station)' which, not surprisingly, the audience missed.
The small group at side of the stage supplied the live music. With Andrew Weir (guitar), Harry Oliff (bass and keyboard), Elliot Smith (drums) and the leader was sound designer, Ben Collins (sax, synthesiser and percussion). The songs were solos in the folk-singing genre. I would have liked to see more made of the music, although the last two numbers were excellent as they allowed the gifted couple to show their talents in this field.
Fiona Bruce's set was straight from a typical, down market Edinburgh pub, with its scruffy oak frames around coloured glass. Fiona has created numerous alcoves and cupboards for minor props to be hidden. Every few seconds yet another hilarious prop would appear, there must have been a great deal of fun producing Bob's friend. Fiona's costumes were boring for 'featureless' Bob, along with a gorgeous bridesmaid dress for Helena.
Trent Suidgeest, lighting designer, had a slightly easier run than usual, but still created plenty of atmosphere, from the dark, wet streets to sunrise on the Forth.
The cast of two had to carry out all of the scene shifting, speak with an Edinburgh accent, perform puppetry, sing, be dramatic actors but most of all be madcap comedians. There was a strong chemistry as they adeptly flowed through the demanding script. Director Damon Lockwood, who has worked many times on Improvisation with George, encouraged their cheeky humour that kept the show fresh.
The show's trailer on Facebook and Vimeo is well worth watching.
A very funny, sexy show, with a down to earth portrayal of lower life in Edinburgh, all delivered with an enormous amount of energy and talent. Many congratulations.

Name: Brad Onstad
Age: 48
Occupation: Regulatory Affairs
Hometown: Champlin, Minnesota
Start Weight: 255 pounds
End Weight: 175 pounds
Time Running: 1 year, 4 months
In June 2016, I found myself out of shape and very overweight. I was 255 pounds and decided that I didn't want to live this way anymore.
More From Runner's World
I downloaded an app to help me count calories and started walking several times a week. I walked to the grocery store and back (2.4 miles round trip). By the end of that summer I was down 30 pounds and feeling really good about myself. My walks were getting longer and longer.
Then in November 2016, we went to a football game at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. It was so cold that day that my entire family started running to the ramp. At first I was upset at them for leaving me behind, but after I tried to catch up and didn't die in the process, the seed was planted that maybe I could run.
My wife has been a runner for about 10 years and even ran the Boston Marathon in 2012, but I swore I would never be a runner. Then in January 2017, I was now down 50 pounds so I started running on the treadmill, primarily because I could burn as many calories in a 15-minute run as I could in 40 minutes walking. I ran every day, slowly, and on January 22, 2017, I ran 3.1 miles without stopping in 38:30.
I broke down in tears because I couldn't believe I did it. Eventually spring came, and I took my runs outside. I went further and faster every week. On July 4, 2017, my wife and I ran my very first race together in honor of my father-in-law who was in the hospital battling cancer.
We both won our age groups and got really cool medals. I gave mine to my father-in-law. Today I am at 175 pounds—down 80 total—and have been maintaining that for about eight months.
TRAIN WITH RW: Plans for every distance (and every runner)
My weight loss success is directly attributable to the calorie tracking app. Prior to downloading it, I had no idea how many calories I was consuming each day, how many calories my body needed each day, and how many calories are in the various foods I ate each day.
Exercise alone will not help you lose weight if you keep eating the same way. I wish more people understood how simple the formula for losing weight is. If you eat more, you will gain. Track everything, have willpower, and don't beat yourself up if you go over for a day or two. Make sure that you stay below it overall on a weekly basis.
Quitting drinking was another piece of the puzzle. Those are completely empty calories and an easy way to cut down on a weekly basis. Finally, just staying active. I hardly ever drive to the grocery store or barbershop anymore. Instead I will walk or run and get an easy 2.4 miles in.
I think the most rewarding part of running for me is not the actual running, but rather finding myself actually looking forward to my runs during the day. Considering where I came from to where I am today, I am amazed that I look forward to any physical activity. When I am stressed at work all I can think about is putting on my headphones and heading out into the sunshine for a three to four miler.
Now that I have basically reached my goal weight, setting new goals has been sort of harder to define. I have started to lift weights with the goal of "getting stronger," but that seems so subjective. I want to continue to run and do more 5K and 10K races, but not sure how much farther (distance wise) I would want to push myself. I might try to get faster.

Many scientific reports offer evidence that there is a link between Gum Disease (periodontal disease) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). While a cause-and-effect relationship has not yet been proven, research has indicated that periodontal disease increases the risk of heart disease.
In fact, people with periodontal disease are up to two times more likely to have CVD, according to recent reports and research reviews. The reviews showed evidence that people with periodontitis are more likely to get CVD than those without, regardless of their other risk factors such as diabetes status, smoking or high blood pressure.
Consequently, people with periodontal disease should be aware that they may be more likely to suffer from CVD, and people suffering with CVD should be checked for periodontitis and be treated if necessary.
How does treating periodontal disease affect cardiovascular disease?
Existing evidence does not prove that treating periodontitis will prevent CVD. However, periodontitis causes inflammation inside the mouth, and evidence shows that inflammation inside the body can help us ascertain how healthy the heart and blood vessels are, even in the early stages of CVD.
Periodontal disease can also exacerbate existing heart conditions. Patients at risk for infective endocarditis may require antibiotics prior to dental procedures. Your periodontist and cardiologist will be able to determine if your heart condition requires use of antibiotics prior to dental procedures. Patients should expect to receive a comprehensive periodontal evaluation from their dental professional at least once a year. This includes a detailed examination of the teeth and gums, and an assessment of risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, and overall health status. In addition, patients diagnosed with periodontal disease should be sure to inform their general health care provider and/or cardiologist to encourage better integration of their care.
There is no compelling evidence to support that treating periodontal disease will reduce cardiovascular disease at this time, but we do know that periodontal care will improve your oral health status, reduce systemic inflammation, and might be good for your heart as well."

VOLUNTEERS who assist Devon's emergency services when people go missing or become injured in remote locations have been overwhelmed by the public's response to a fundraising campaign.
Members of the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton just managed to get their essential control van through its last MoT earlier this year but realised a new one would be needed if their lifesaving work was to continue into 2016 and beyond.
An appeal for help went out at the end of June with a target of £20,000 that would allow them to buy the base vehicle. But just a little more than month later and the fund has topped the £34,000 mark.
The team's delighted fundraising officer Alan Pewsey said:
'We simply cannot believe how generous people have been and how quickly they've responded to our appeal.
'In the first place we're so grateful to the press who publicised our appeal as widely as they did because thanks to them the calls soon started coming in.
'More than £1,000 was pledged very quickly and then one lady in south Devon contacted us and incredibly offered to donate £20,000 in memory of her late husband.
'We were only just starting to get over the shock of that when the Newton Abbot Hospital League of Friends said they'd like to pledge a further £10,000, we simply couldn't believe it.
'With £34,000 in the fund we can not only get the van but equip it too with all the communications, medical and survival kit needed when searching for lost or vulnerable people.
'We respond to about 35 shouts a year on average, any time and anywhere we're needed, not just on Dartmoor but across Devon including urban areas such as Torbay and Exeter, and our entire operation is funded by the public's generosity.
'It costs us about £15,000 to keep going for a year and we're always very grateful for the support people give us. 'But the response to this appeal has been unparalleled and we offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped.
'Even Toby at Pottery Commercials in Newton Abbot has been very generous to us in finding a virtually brand new van at a huge discount and fitting extras free of charge.
'We can't wait to show off it off as soon as it's on the road and ready for action.
'Again, thank you so very much. Sadly our work never ends but then neither do the bills stop coming in.'

What is a medical billing service? Medical billing services are companies that have the staff or department to handle patient billing and insurance issues for a medical practice. The job of a medical biller is similar to that of a lawyer: they represent their client (the doctor or hospital) and negotiate on their behalf to make sure they get paid for the medical services they provide. They communicate with the patient and their insurance company for every medical claim. A medical billing staff can be in-house or an outsourced service, depending on the size and needs of the practice. As the healthcare and insurance industries get increasingly complex, outsourcing has become a popular option. It frees up internal resources so that doctors and their staff can focus on what they do best: helping patients.
Task Management
Medical billing companies can take care of crucial tasks like:
- Patient Insurance Verification
- Medical Coding
- Claim Tracking
- Billing Analytics & Reports
Benefits of outsourcing medical billing include:
- Simplifying financial record-keeping
- Data protection for sensitive files
- High accuracy
- Quick turnaround time for insurance claims
- Scalability
Pros & Cons
Most medical practices are tasked with deciding how they should handle their medical billing needs:
- In-House
- Outsourced
Determine which option is the best for you with our In-House vs. Outsource Pros & Cons Guide.
Medical Billing by Specialty
You may need medical billing services tailored to your specific medical specialty. Consider medical billing services for the following specialties and benefits:

Couch: LJ Scott should worry Michigan State; Brian Lewerke should not
EAST LANSING – There are things Chris Frey can say to LJ Scott that Brian Lewerke at this stage cannot.
As in …
"I walked over to (Scott) today and kind of ripped into him a little bit," Frey said after Michigan State's 38-18 home loss to Notre Dame Saturday night. "I told him, 'We've talked about this multiple times, you've got to hold on to the ball.'"
Scott fumbled for the third time this season, and the second time at the goal line, a gaffe as game-changing as his fumble against Wisconsin a year ago.
He needed to be ripped. His career is hanging in the balance. And MSU is less without him.
"The kid made a good play on the ball and LJ had time to pick that ball up and still score and he didn't do that," MSU's senior linebacker and co-captain continued. "LJ's another guy that has a ton of snaps under his belt and we hold him to a higher standard. We expect more out of him."
Lewerke's approach …
"I told him I had two (turnovers) myself," Lewerke said. "Don't worry about it at all."
This is why first-year starting quarterbacks don't make great team captains (Lewerke isn't one) — it's sometimes hard to say what needs to be said to a veteran, in this case a proven rusher, an NFL prospect, facing a perilous struggle.
Different things need to be said to Scott and Lewerke after Saturday, different approaches taken.
- Couch: 3 quick takes on Michigan State's 38-18 loss to Notre Dame
- Three first-half turnovers doom Michigan State football in loss to Notre Dame
- Michigan State WR Trishton Jackson shows glimpses of spring game success in loss to Irish
- Couch's report card for the Spartans against Notre Dame
- Turning point, unsung hero and what's next for Michigan State football
Lewerke is a sophomore, three games into his tenure as MSU's QB. He's making his share of mistakes — another fumble, an interception returned for a touchdown, as many throws off target as on point. Nothing unexpected. He's also making a ton of plays, trying to figure out the balance between propelling his team and risking too much.
"As every game goes by, you learn more about the game of college football and how it works and how the speed works," said Lewerke, who was trying to reach for a first down when the ball was knocked from his grip in the second quarter Saturday.
It was a costly play. As was his pick-six interception earlier. He should be fine, though. If he's still fumbling regularly in late October — he's coughed it up three times in three games — and missing all the same throws, that'll be a different column.
Scott, however, is a more troubling case. Both for him and for the Spartans. He is MSU's most gifted running back. Gerald Holmes and Madre London are solid Big Ten backs. Scott is a difference-maker. Every Spartan fan who remembers him spinning and reaching for the end zone in the Big Ten championship game two years ago knows this. That was his 22-play drive. He deserves a chance to correct this. But MSU can't afford this much longer, either.
Maybe it's the shoulders — he had surgery on both in the offseason, though insists he's 100 percent, better than before.
Scott, at his best, is often compared to former Spartan bell cow Le'Veon Bell. Bell carried 749 times in 40 games at MSU and fumbled twice.
Scott has fumbled twice within a yard of the end zone through the first three games of this season. Saturday's mishap came at a critical juncture in the game, with the Spartans' trailing 21-7 midway through the second quarter. Scott made a terrific run, hesitating and bursting through the line, breaking free of an ankle tackle and darting toward the goal line, only to be stripped inches shy. He jumped on the ball in the end zone but it squirted out and Notre Dame recovered. The Irish scored five plays later, taking command of the game for good.
Scott wasn't available for interviews afterward. His position coach and play-caller, though, acknowledged MSU has a problem with ball security, referring to both Scott and Lewerke.
"I think we've got to change our approach, maybe, because what we're doing is not working," co-offensive coordinator Dave Warner said. "We're doing what we've been doing for years and years around here. (We've) been very good about protecting the football, but it's not taking place right now."
I'd be surprised if Lewerke's latest fumble isn't one that changes his approach. Scott might have a deeper issue. He should probably spend the next week carrying a ball everywhere he goes on campus, with instructions that if the ball hits the ground or gets away from him, he doesn't start next week against Iowa. This worked in the 1993 film "The Program." Fiction, perhaps. But sensible fiction. Scott, who hopes to be in the NFL next season, might be well served by the constant reminder that no matter how dazzling his runs, they are worthless if he doesn't have the football with him.
"Nobody feels worse than LJ Scott," MSU coach Mark Dantonio said. "I'm not going to go over and yell at a guy when he's trying to make a play. These guys are trying to make plays, so I'm part of that, and I'm not going to be finger-pointing and saying, 'You do this. You did that.' We talk ball security and we work ball security every single day, seven minutes a day in drills."
This is not a loss that should be overstated. The Spartans competed up front on both sides of the ball, outgained the Irish and lost much by their own doing. MSU is a young team, facing its first big-time test. It didn't go well. But it wasn't overwhelmed. There are stark differences in several areas between this loss and last year's debacles. To say otherwise is to be simplistic in one's analysis.
But Scott should worry MSU.
"Obviously he's a guy who's led us the past two years and he was really big for us the playoff year and even last year," Lewerke said. "I have all the confidence in the world in him."
It's the right thing for a young quarterback to say publicly and to say to his top running back. Scott also needed the tough love from Frey. Because Lewerke's confidence in him won't do Scott or the Spartans a lick of good if he fumbles next week against Iowa.

Physics Assignment Help >> Electrostatics >> Impedance Triangle
As stated already resistance (R) stands for ohmic resistance. It arises on account of material of the conductor (R = p t/ a).
The reactance (X) is the resistance that arises on account of opposing induced due to change in the strength of current. The inductive reactance Xl = w L is the resistance offered by the inductor coil. The capacitative offered by the condenser. As voltage across the inductor leads the current by a phase angle of 90 and voltage across the capacitor lags behind the current by a phase angle of 90 therefore XL and XChave opposite Signs. Total reactance is taken to be ± (XL – XC).The total effective resistance offered by the RLC circuit is called impedance. It is represented by Z.From the three phasor, VR = I0 R; VL = I0 XL and Vc = I0 XC, we obtain what is known as impedance triangle for (1).The base OA of this triangle represents ohmic resistance R, the perpendicular AK represents reactance (XL – XC) and diagonal OK represents the impedance (Z) of the circuit > AOK = ∅ is the phase angle of which voltage leads the currant in the circuit.The reciprocal of reactance is called susceptance of the circuit and reciprocal of impedance is called admittance of A.C. circuit. Both the susceptance and admittance are measured in mho ohm-1 or sidemen.A.C. circuit containing resistance and inductance Let a source of alternating be connect to an ohmic resistance R and a coil of inductance in series as shown in fig . Proceeding as in Art. 12 and ignoring VC as there is no capacitor in the circuit we shall obtain Fig. represents phasor diagram, of RL circuit.We find that in RL circuit voltage leads the current by a phase angle∅, where.Tan ∅ = AK/OA = OL/OA = VL/VR = Io XV/I0 R Tan ∅ = XL/R

Opinions are great. They help us understand each other & come to well rounded solutions to a mired of problems. Marijuana is a hot topic right now, but we're not getting into opinions today.
Instead, we're talking facts. We're talking scientific facts: We're talking parts of a plant; We're talking uses of the crop. We're talking historical facts: We're talking where it came from; We're talking documented societal and personal benefit & potential consequences; We're talking physiological and ecological impact; We're talking (US) laws. …Of a plant.
Sure, cannabis isn't your average plant, but it's a plant nonetheless & let's try to remember that today.
Scientific Facts
Parts of the plant & Uses of the crop
Like like many plants on Earth, cannabis is a very versatile crop. While many can't get away from the psychological effects certain parts of the plant could have on some people, those same people are ignoring many of the pharmaceutical and everyday household uses of this very American plant:
- animal bedding
- mulch / compost
- medical uses
- recreational uses
- fiber
- textiles (clothing, linens, etc.)
- insulation
- rope / string / thread
- hurds
- paper products
- compost
- fiberboard
- animal bedding
- oil
- cooking
- dietary supplement
- personal care products
- fuel
- paint
- seed cake
- flour
- beer
- animal feed
- hemp nut
- dairy products
- baked goods
- granola
- protein supplement
- medical uses
- compost
Historical Facts
According to the history channel:
Burned cannabis seeds have been found in the graves of shamans in China and Siberia from as early as 500 BC.
The origins of this plan can be traced back to Central Asia where the climate allowed for the crop to grow abundantly. Due to its popularity along many industries, this was one of those seeds that spread around the world quickly. Asia to Europe & Africa and, then to the Americas.
It's unclear exactly when cannabis immigrated to the Americas, however it's been shown that many American colony farmers were required to grow hemp in the early 1600s. Hemp was used mainly as a textile, but the seeds were also eaten.
The Medical Marijuana Movement began in the 1800s, when doctors started discovering & acknowledging the positive medical effects cannabis could have on ailing patients. & Has since seen much progress, but also much regression since then.
The Recreational Marijuana Movement, in the United States at least, is extra confusing because at first weed wasn't illegal at all, and it certainly isn't dangerous. But I'll let Adam explain that one.
The effects of cannabis vary per product & strain used. Below is a list of definitions within which I have provided specific examples.
The plant (as defined by U.S. federal law):
Cannabis – the whole plant
Marijuana – viable seeds, leaves & flowers
Hemp – sterilized seeds, stems, stalks and roots
Cannabinoid – a group of six (6) natural chemicals found in cannabis
CBD (cannabidiol) – a non-psychotropic cannabinoid with many medicinal applications
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) – the primary psychoactive cannabinoid
Cannabichromene (CBC) – antiproliferative*, antimicrobial, bone-stimulant and anti-inflammatory
Cannabidivarin (CBDV) – exhibits bone stimulating properties
Cannabigerol (CBG) – bone stimulant, antibacterial and antiproliferative
Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid (THCA) – the main constituent in raw cannabis, THCA is both antiproliferative and antispasmodic**
*antiproliferative – inhibits cell growth
**antispasmodic – relieves involuntary muscle spasms
- ideal climate: hot, dry, long days, full sun (Africa, Central America, SE Asia, etc.)
- appearance: tall & thin, lighter green; slow growth
- make up: low CBD, high THC
- effects: head high, energizing, anxiety relief, increased productivity, etc.
- ideal climate: adapted to harsh, dry, turbulent (Middle East Asia, Eastern Europe, etc.)
- appearance: short & stocky, darker green; average growth
- make up: high CBD, low THC

At the ArcLight Cinemas in Pasadena, pictures of Robinson during his playing days at Pasadena City College in the late 1930s were on display Friday.
Robinson, the first African American to play in the major leagues some six decades ago, was a star athlete in multiple sports at the college. His brother Mack earned a silver medal in the 1936 Olympics in the 200 meter dash.
Jackie Robinson broke numerous records as a track athlete, basketball player and of course as a baseball player at Pasadena City College. The college even named its sports complex Jackie Robinson Stadium.
So, with the story of Robinson's legendary rise to Major League Baseball history taking center stage in his biopic, "42," officials at the college are overjoyed.
"Jackie Robinson, Mack Robinson, those two brothers started right here in Pasadena and both of them right here at Pasadena City College, and they went forward and changed the world. What today is about is PCC being so joyous," said Dr. Mark Rocha, the president of Pasadena City College.
After high school and junior college in Pasadena, Robinson went on to UCLA where he continued as a star athlete in multiple sports, a feat few athletes have ever accomplished at the college level.
"I mean growing up in Pasadena, knowing the Robinson's legacy and knowing Mack Robinson and the family, I was just astounded by this. This is a true inspiration and a tribute to Jackie's legacy," said Skip Robinson, the former athletic director at Pasadena City College.
Delano Robinson was married to Jackie Robinson's brother Mack. She says it was hard for the Robinson family when Jackie was a kid.
"Mrs. Robinson went through a lot of ups and downs when she came here to Pasadena with five children and it does make a difference when it's just one parent - not two. She was by herself," said Delano Robinson.
Jackie Robinson's widow Rachel says the story of her husband's rise to Major League Baseball history is nothing short of inspiring.
"It's a process of inspiring people to say that, yes it can be done. You can contribute. No matter where you are or who you are, you can make things better," she said.

Not that we're complaining–Neeson is back again in revenge mode just as we like him best, plus he's bringing a fun group of some of our favorite action genre stars. The plot? Neeson plays a man in love, a man in love who is a thief. But he wants to turn over a new leaf. But circumstances keep pulling him back in… into Taken and The Commuter's vengeance Liam Neeson.

Shakira is celebrating her 26th year in music this year. The Latin superstar may have only come to the wider world's attention in 2001 with her first English language album Laundry Service but she was already a bit star in Latin America following the release of her 1995 album Pies Descalzos and her 1998 album Dónde Están los Ladrones? Shakira's last Spanish language album was 2010's Sale el Sol, which she followed up with the self-titled English language album Shakira in 2014. That album didn't achieve the success Shakira has become accustomed to and quickly stalled her in the UK.
Heading back to her Spanish roots, Shakira has released her eleventh studio album El Dorado (The Golden One) which sees the star singing mostly in Spanish with a handful of songs sung in English. The album's lead single Chantaje (Blackmail) features fellow Colombian singer Maluma (if you've never heard of him, you should check his music out!) and it's been a humongous hit across the world with the video one of the fastest to reach 1 billion views. At a time when Justin Bieber is jumping on the Latin bandwagon, it's baffling how Chantaje wasn't a huge hit here in the UK. The song's pulsating rhythms are perfect for the summer and it's a corking track!
Maluma isn't the only chart-topping star Shakira teams up (he appears again on the R&B influenced Trap) with on El Dorado. She also enlists Carlos Vives on the hit La Bicicleta (The Bike), Latin pop star Prince Royce on the ballad Déjà vu, Reggaeton star Nicky Jam on the punchy Perro Fiel (Faithful Dog), French rapper Black M on Comme moi (What We Said) and Magic! on the English version of the track.
The album kicks off with Me Enamoré (I Fell In Love), which is a beat-driven uptempo track that sets the tone perfectly for the record. The tempo for the most part of El Dorado is up and it's the perfect album to dance your socks off to over the summer. Shakira sounds like she's having the most fun she's had in years and El Dorado is solid collection of hits in waiting for the singer. The English song When a Woman captures the intense feeling of being in love over hypnotic beats while Amarillo (Yellow) is a dreamy moment that oddly has more in common with Fleetwood Mac than the rest of the songs contained here.
El Dorado is a superb release from Shakira and her best in a long time, probably since the two-part 2005 album Fijación Oral, Vol 1 and Oral Fixation, Vol 2. Shakira has reconnected with her roots and added a contemporary feel to the songs on this album. She's definitely riding the current Latin wave that is dominating charts all over the world and El Dorado should be a huge record for her. If you've never really given Latin music a chance, I'd highly recommend starting with El Dorado and working your way back through Shakira's flawless back catalogue.
Track Listing: 1. Me Enamoré 2. Nada 3. Chantaje (featuring Maluma) 4. When a Woman 5. Amarillo 6. Perrio Fiel (featuring Nicky Jam) 7. Trap (featuring Maluma) 8. Comme Moi (with Black M) 9. Coconut Tree 10. La Bicicleta (with Carlos Vives) 11. Déjà vu (with Prince Royce) 12. What We Said (featuring MAGIC!) 13. Toneladas Record Label: Sony Latin Release Date: 26th May 2017

The 2nd Nimonik China EHS Conference a Huge Success
The 2nd Nimonik China EHS conference, in partnership with BSI and ERM, was held on March 9, 2018, in Shanghai. BSI and ERM are leading global firms in the EHS compliance industry. Like the first Nimonik EHS China Conference in November 2017, this event too was a huge success.
The speakers, ERM Partner, Ms Yongjie Wang and BSI Quality Branch President, Ms Minxiu Wang shared insightful information with 35 EHS professionals on Construction Project Environmental Permit System and Leadership Role Vs Safety Performance respectively.
Ms Yongjie Wang introduced the changes in the environmental protection licensing system, decoded complicated issues, and provided comprehensive details on the management of environmental impact assessment in light of practice. A key analysis was made on implementing the project's self-determination and acceptance of construction projects, covering four phases:
- holding an acceptance meeting
- putting forward an acceptance opinion
- preparing an acceptance report, and
- publicizing the acceptance report
Ms Minxiu Wang introduced the new ISO 45001:2018 standard and explained how it differs from the old OHSAS 18001 standard. She elaborated on the overall structure of the PDCA cycle and highlighted the impact of safety incidents on various stakeholders. The discussion took a lively turn when Ms Wang engaged the audience to suggest ways to make upper management more involved in safety and more accessible to EHS personnel.
Ms Yusi Wang, the newly appointed China Country Manager, too made a splendid opening speech on the new features introduced as a result of the merger of Envitool and Nimonik.
The conference took a turn from the usual traditional teaching methods and instead adopted the modern and lively format of case-studies, group discussions and activities to train the personnel. With frequent breaks, refreshments and animated discussions, the attendees ended the day in high spirits.
Below are some more pictures from the conference. The 3rd Nimonik EHS China Conference is already being planned and will be held soon. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for the details.

Xtreme Comforts manufactures and designs memory seat foam cushions that are a perfect fit for your office chair or when you are sitting on the floor. It helps ease sciatica back pain and tailbone pain from long hours of sitting.
6 Features of Coccyx Seat Cushions from Xtreme Comforts
1. Ideal Size and Design
Xtreme Comforts' seat cushion measures 18″ x 14″ x 3″, which perfectly fits any office seat. If you have had a history of back pain, the cushion's design and sizes will help you get rid of the pain while sitting. Additionally, it is soft, uniformly padded and the filling allows you to sit at ease.
Traditional pillows are hard, flat and the padding added on the inside builds up pressure that slowly overloads the tailbone. Sooner or later, you will develop bad posture, chronic pain around the tailbone area, poor blood circulation, pinched nerves and orthopedic problems that will cost you a fortune to treat or deal with if the situation gets worse.
2. Ergonomic U-Shape Cut Design
Ortho-form memory seat cushions are designed into a u-cut shape recommended by doctors and orthopedic professionals. The shape allows the cushions to create a comfortable coccyx space reducing any chances of strain or overload of the coccyx area and the back. As such, your tailbone floats instead of sitting under the pressure of the back and the rest of the body i.e. no direct pressure will be applied to this area.
A contoured design completes the surface of the memory cushion from Xtreme Comforts. Why is this important? The contours evenly distribute the weight of the body on the seat. Pressure on the tailbone and the lumbar region of your body is reduced significantly.
3. Comfort at Its Best
A comfortable sitting position aids a healthy posture. Besides this, you will also notice that a seat cushion will aid in proper lumbar spine alignment, reduced back pain for individuals with chronic back pain, increased blood flow to the legs as the overall circulation is improved & superior comfort, especially for those who sit for long hours.
Cushions will help relieve pain from back injuries resulting from accidents, surgeries, herniated, bulging or degenerated discs, sciatica nerve pain, arthritis, hip pain, sacral joint pain, stenosis, hemorrhoids, and pregnancy. Xtreme Comforts ensures that the pillow is your go-to solution for several medical conditions.
4. Stays In Place
This seat cushion has a non-skid anti-slip bottom feature that ensures it stays in place. This feature makes sure that your pillow does not slip off and that you do not fall off your seat, particularly if you move around the seat often. This makes the seat just what the doctor ordered for office chairs, computer desk, kitchen, dining room, living room, drivers' patio, couch, and recliner seats that require you to adjust the seat to your comfort. The multipurpose seat cushions come in an ideal size, and this means that you can take them to the areas that we have mentioned without any hassle whatsoever.
5. Versatility
You can carry the cushion to your favorite sporting event and place it on benches and bleachers. We all know how uncomfortable sporting benches can get. If you are traveling for long hours, the cushion comes in handy for long-distance truck drivers, planes and truckers. Carry it to your next yoga class and place it on the floor, use it during meditation sessions that require you to sit on the floor, or as a kneeling pad cushion for tasks or prayers. Place the seat cushion from Xtreme Comforts on rocking chairs for the elderly and nursery for young ones.
6. Durability
Unlike padded seat cushions that wear off just a few days after use, memory foam seat cushions fall in our good books. Ultra-deluxe body active memory foam in the coccyx seat cushion ensures that the original shape is intact regardless of how frequently the cushion is used. It never flattens out and remains uniform in density and adjusts accordingly to provide you with the right support when sitting every time.
If you need to clean it, a durable, zippered mesh cover is included. The mesh cover is removable and can be machine-washed or hand-washed depending on your personal preference; the strong fabric is not damaged by detergents or extreme temperatures. The mesh cover also allows for optimal air circulation into and out of the cushion guaranteeing the breathability of the inner parts of the cushion to rid off any smells or odor that come with long-term use in different places.
4 Benefits of Coccyx Cushions
Xtreme Comforts designs cushions that have multiple benefits attached to their use. As a company, we are health-conscious experts with a passion for optimal health.
1. Better Body Posture
Great posture is not only good for our overall appeal either at work or home but has abundant advantages linked to it. Bad posture affects the neck area, puts a strain on the back muscles and bones and this will advance to serious health problems. The coccyx cushion is well-padded and with an ideal u-cut design, the pressure on the back area is significantly reduced, allowing you to seat better and develop a good posture. All bodyweight is uniformly distributed throughout the cushion's surface area and not just the coccyx, which remains suspended.
2. Improved Circulation
The artery that supplies blood to the back area may be affected by poor sitting habits. Excessive pressure hinders the circulation of blood in the coccyx and back areas as the load is directly applied to the artery. Coccyx cushions relieve the pressure in the lumbar region and allow the smooth flow of blood into and out of the back area with ease. Better blood circulation guarantees that the region is supplied with sufficient blood and nutrients allowing your body to perform its functions best.
3. Relieves Back Pain
Back pain may develop for various reasons. Some of the reasons may be pregnancy or child-birth, injury to the back area and long sitting hours. Back pain may not always be as a result of long sitting hours at the office but may also come as a result of sitting in areas such as football benches or your favorite yoga classes for longer hours with no support to the back.
Poorly padded cushions feel comfortable, but they are not effective in eliminating pain. If you have experienced back pain, get yourself a coccyx cushion and watch the pain melt away. The cushions are recommended for individuals who have not experienced any back pain but sit for long hours as a preventive measure.
Sitting for long hours in an uncomfortable seat may be dreadful. Carry your seat cushion from Xtreme Comforts to the office or your next yoga class. Use it in the car, yoga class, office, and your next camping trip. You will be surprised by how much you can achieve from a comfortable seating position. Your focus is improved and you are more productive when you are comfortable. Better blood circulation in the body from the use of the memory foam seat cushions allows the body to relax as the flow of blood to the brain is unhindered.
4. Versatility
Coccyx seat cushions from Xtreme Comforts come in a small handy size that allows you to bring them almost everywhere. You can use the seat cushions both indoors and outdoors and since they are made of light-weight durable material, they last longer and do not wear out due to excessive use. You do not need to buy a coccyx cushion for use in different places—one is more than enough.
In Conclusion
Xtreme Comforts is dedicated to producing high-quality products that attend to everyday problems. We design unique products that give you better relief and improved life. If you are suffering from neck and back pain, the coccyx memory foam seat cushion is designed just for this. The sporty and stylish seat cushions are packed with numerous health benefits.
Grab yourself the orthopedic memory foam seat cushion today from Xtreme Comforts' and enjoy the best back and seat cushions!

Some Not So Bright People in Trouble with the Law Stories
One helpful hint to those who wish to fake their deaths. Do not show up for your funeral service. Alison Matera should have taken that advice.
One couples get married, the vows are usually … "until death do us part". Unless you newlyweds Kylee Rich and Joshua Rich, when the wedding vows should have said … "until bank heist arrest do us part".
Also when robbing a grocery store always make sure you have a well thought out escape plan.

Rob Blake Retires as San Jose Sharks Captain, Leaves Legacy for Others To FollowJune 11, 2010
Rob Blake spent his final two seasons in San Jose and was the Sharks captain for his final year in the NHL.
The veteran defenseman earned many accolades throughout his 20-year career, including hoisting the Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2001.
In 1998, Blake won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's best blueliner, and in 2002, he played on Team Canada's gold-medal squad.
Blake was a seven-time All-Star, and he scored 240 goals over his career with 537 assists. He had more than 40 points in a season for 12 different years.
Those are remarkable numbers for an impact player throughout his career.
Blake played for Los Angeles, Colorado, and San Jose after being selected as the 70th overall pick in the 1988 draft.
He made his NHL debut with Los Angeles in 1990, and replaced Wayne Gretzky as the King's captain in 1996. It was a 2001 deal that sent him to Colorado where he played a key role in the Avalanche's run to the Cup that season.
Blake would later return to the Kings in 2006 before signing a one-year deal with the Sharks in the 2008-2009 season.
After signing another one-year deal for 2009-2010 with the Sharks, Blake took over as captain when Patrick Marleau was stripped of the honor during the offseason.
With Blake as their captain, the Sharks finished with the best record in the Western Conference and won two playoff rounds before being swept by the eventual Stanley Cup champions in the Chicago Blackhawks.

Around this time of the year as a small Christmas tradition my Mum and I sit down to watch "Love Actually"… late last night when the rest of the house was asleep and most of the street too… we did just that!
This film never gets old. The charm, the quirky jokes, the love, the all things Christmas and the lobster in the nativity scene are all reasons why I love this movie. I have watched it that many times that I know most of the lines, the songs and story-line pretty much off by heart.
I have a lot of favourite parts, that I just cannot mention one. But I think that the message that the Prime Minister gives at the start of the film
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
is a pretty good reason as to why I continue to watch it again and again! That even though this message is spoken through a film and the story that follows. It allows me to believe that it's true. The world isn't all that bad. That love and the sentiments that come with Christmas is out there in the world and with me through my family and friends.
I hope those who are fortunate enough to have love remember what we have and are grateful for it! It is times like Christmas that reminds me of this!
With that note…
Merry Christmas!!
Signing off for the last time for this year! See you in 2014. 🙂
