A rising star among educated exercisers in Chicago: the Jacobs Ladder "People can't get enough of this machine," says Amanda Pezzullo, personal training manager at Equinox's Gold Coast location. "This is definitely not a new fad piece of equipment that gets old after a week." Read up on the total-body wonder tool that's quickly taking hold.
This is a giant swinging ladder of 6-inch beams reaching 12 metres / 40 foot high. Three people attempt to climb as high up the ladder as possible. It is important to work as a team in order to make progress. This task is quite physical and involves an amount of strength, flexibility and agility. As the team climbs higher the challenge increases as the space between the rungs gets larger. The rest of the team are involved in holding the ropes and offering encouragement and help. The climbers can be lowered to the ground at any time. Not everyone gets to the top but everyone enjoys trying!.
When I first saw the Slow Cooked Shin of Beef, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. I had to do a quick double take to make sure I hadn't somehow ended up at a Mediæval banquet! This is a truly stunning piece of meat, which is guaranteed to be the talking point of any gathering. And that's before anyone even tastes it!
On Saturday, June 25th, we made the trip to Rockwood, Tennessee, to meet & bring home our new horse! Her name is Avalanna, which we have shortened to Lanna. She is a 4-year-old cutie & we are proud to have her join the herd at Jacobs' Ladder! This sweet girl is being readied to become part of our team of horses who care for our riders, which includes active duty military personnel & their families, as well as local veterans.
I did a brief experiment to see if anything interesting would happen if I introduced a small amount of airflow from a compressed air nozzle, maybe making some sort of vortex effect. This didn't work out, but in the process I thought it might be interesting to see the air-currents created by the climbing arc. I remembered I had some smoke-in-a-can which I used for laser experimentation, so tried spraying some of this into the tube. Unfortunately, I didn't notice some of the small print on a little label on the can (pictured right), and when the arc neared the top of the electrodes.... a loud 'Whoomf', a huge plume of flame, and a mildly scorched hand later, an idea was born.... Time to find a butane gas-lighter refill..... A quick squirt (WARNING : DO NOT USE TOO MUCH!!!!), switch on... BZZZITTTWHOOOMFFFF! Cool!
Jacob's Ladder is a reading comprehension program for gifted students that spans from early primary to early secondary instruction. Students progress through an inquiry process based on targeted reading passages that emphasise the progressive, ongoing development of higher-order thinking skills that are relevant across the curriculum. The Jacob's Ladder Student Workbooks complement the Jacob's Ladder: Primary Years 4-5 book by providing a matching, all-in-one resource for students to record their answers to each exercise. This allows the teacher to keep all of the student's work in the program in one place for ease of collection, reading and marking.
A sprightly 79 year-old, Basil had shared his encyclopaedic knowledge of the island's history with enthusiasm and warmth. That was fascinating enough. But he had kept the best til last. As we stood at the foot of Jacob's Ladder and craned our necks to see its summit 600 ft above us, we learned that it was a former tramway built in 1829 to haul manure up from the town to the farms above the cliffs and send goods back down. Now it had 699 steps and climbing it was not just an impressive physical feat but a necessity for children who lived at the bottom but went to school at the top.
Seen on the prime time hit TV show, the revolutionary fitness product Jacob's Ladder has been used by professional sports teams, film stars, universities and the military. Having successfully collaborated for marketing their residential product, The Eastco Group was recently selected for marketing their newest product The Stairway, and to create a whole new marketing plan for the brand, including a wide range of integrated marketing solutions. As always it was a pleasure to work with Jacob's Ladder and to see results that were pleasing to the client!
This ladder, so remarkable in the history of the Jewish people, finds its analogue in all the ancient initiations. Whether this is to be attributed simply to a coincidence-a theory which but few scholars would be willing to accept-or to the fact that these analogues were all derived from a common fountain of symbolism, or whether, as suggested by Brother Oliver, the origin of the symbol was lost among the practices of the Pagan rites, while the symbol itself was retained, it is, perhaps, impossible authoritatively to determine. It is, however, certain that the ladder as a symbol of moral and intellectual progress existed almost universally in antiquity, presenting itself either as a succession of steps, of gates, of Degrees, or in some other modified form. The number of the steps varied; although the favorite one appears to have been seven, in reference, apparently, to the mystical character almost everywhere given to that number.
Jacob's Ladder is an SAIS-SACS accredited, SB-10 approved private school, serving students Pre-K through twelfth grade with any kind of neurological disorder - from Down syndrome and Cerebral Palsy to a range of learning disabilities and genetic disorders - although 60% of students have been diagnosed with Autism. They also offer the Jacob's Ladder Model of Intervention in their Therapy Center on an hourly basis.
The foundational text of Kabbalah, the Zohar, teaches that Jacob's ladder was a metaphor for the experience of prayer (incidentally, the Hebrew words for "ladder" and "voice" - "sulam" and "kol" - representing the voice of prayer, share an identical numerological value of 136). Prayer constitutes the ladder through which a human being climbs from his or her earth-bound existence into deeper states of consciousness, until touching the heavenliness at the core of the human soul.
The LEDs are fitted in such a way that in the event of a failure, the remaining LEDs will still operate ensuring that all the other sections of the steps remain lit. This solution also enabled the steps to be lit fully without the need to lay cables or disturb any ground, as all the cabling is carried within the central rail.
Jacob's Ladder is the name of the sharply winding and precipitous ascent in a a steep and narrow zig-zag road in Ben Lomond Ranges, Tasmania. The road climbs up to Ben Lomond Mountain, at an elevation of 1.570 meters (5,150 ft) above the sea level. The road is unsealed and the final climb up Jacob's Ladder to the plateau is steep. It's one of the famous hairpinned roads in the world
The Jacobs Ladder workout machine first made an appearance in my life when it mysteriously showed up in my university gym at the end of spring semester. When I saw it looming across the workout floor, I admit I was a little skeptical. It's a huge, hulking black object that sort of juts upwards instead of staying nicely rested on the ground like your standard gym-issued treadmill, elliptical, or stationary bike. To add to the mystique, I noticed the brave folks who did attempt to try it out had to actually strap themselves to the machine using a belted harness (was this a torture device?!). Naturally, when the intrepid user finally maneuvered himself up onto the rungs, all eyes in the gym were on that poor, brave soul.
Start Slow. Take your time the first few times you get on the Ladder. It's self-powered, so the faster you go, the faster it goes. Instead of going for broke immediately, focus on mastering proper form and engaging your core muscles and joint stabilizers. The more comfortable you are using the machine, the more confident you'll be when it's time to kick things up a notch.
In this meditation , as far as we are able, we climb up Jacob's Ladder, the ladder to the higher spiritual worlds. We might work at this meditation when in a particularly good state. Or when in difficulty. Or when we feel an especially strong need to delve into the depths of being. We do not expect to climb all the way up. Indeed, this meditation can be a measure of our progress, of the quality of our being and the purity of our will, of how thoroughly we can release the grip of self-centeredness and all the rest that keeps us mired in unfulfilling modes of living. The attempt itself to climb this ladder, to operate in progressively higher energies, gradually strengthens our being and purifies our will.
You'll find all sorts on Jacobs ladder. From hardcore fitness fanatics, sprinting up and down then pumping out a few pushups and pullups at the bottom right through to those who look like they may not have walked more than 1,000 steps in the past 5 years. Big props to them for choosing such a hard place to cut their teeth. On weekends, early mornings and evenings it can get incredibly busy, frustratingly so. There has also been talk of banning physical activity due to noise complaints from nearby residents. Apparently they don't like people yelling, spitting and throwing up outside their windows at 6am in the morning.

I have owned a shop at the Maryland Renaissance Festival for over 32 years and my two children, Alisha and John accompanied me frequently to Renaissance Fairs in Carver Massachusetts, Annapolis Maryland and in California. When they were very young it was necessary to hire a nanny to watch over them while I was occupied in selling at my shop but as they grew older, a fistful of silver could entertain them for hours in the medieval gaming areas.
I remember when I was a very bored kid at secondary school, I discovered a book in the school library called "The Boy Electrician". The book was very old and seemed to assume that it was perfectly acceptable for kids to build their own X-ray machines and mess about with other extremely dangerous apparatus. One of the interesting bits was about a spark coil with a vibrating reed switch that could generate extremely high voltages when powered and could be used to drive such delights as Geissler tubes (early neon tubes), the afore mentioned X-ray unit and various other dangerous devices including a mini Jacob's ladder. At the time it wasn't too practical to build the spark coil due to it's requirement for seemingly outdated and hard to obtain materials (A pound of soft iron wire and a Geissler tube please), but later on when I had left school and started as an apprentice electrician I started to get my hands on all sorts of dubious technical stuff.
