Understanding Spina Bifida
Spina bifida occurs when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly and is usually present at birth. More specifically, it is a condition that affects the neural tube.
The neural tube is the structure in a developing embryo that eventually becomes the baby's brain, spinal cord, and the tissues that enclose them. Normally, the neural tube forms early in pregnancy and it closes by the 28th day after conception. In babies with spina bifida, a portion of the neural tube doesn't close or develop properly, causing damage to the spinal cord and nerves.
Spina bifida can range from mild to severe, depending on the type, size, location, and complications. When necessary, early treatment for spina bifida involves surgery — although such treatment doesn't always completely resolve the problem.
When to See a Doctor
Typically, severe spinal bifida (known as myelomeningocele) is diagnosed before or right after birth, when medical care is available. These children should be followed by a specialized team of doctors throughout their lives, and families should be educated on different complications that are possible.
Children with mild spina bifida (known as spina bifida occulta) typically don't have any symptoms or complications, so only routine pediatric care is usually needed.
Spina bifida may cause minimal symptoms or minor physical disabilities. But severe spina bifida can lead to more significant physical disabilities. These can include the following walking and mobility problems and orthopedic complications:
Impact on Walking and Mobility
The nerves that control the leg muscles don't work properly below the affected area. This can cause muscle weakness of the legs and sometimes paralysis. Whether a child can walk typically depends on where the spina bifida is, its size, and the care received before and after birth.
Potential Orthopedic Complications
Some children with spina bifida have a variety of complications in the legs and spine because of weak muscles in the legs and back. The types of complications depend on the location of the damaged spinal cord. Examples include:
- Curved spine (scoliosis)
- Abnormal growth
- Dislocation of the hip
- Bone and joint deformities
- Muscle contractures
If your child has been diagnosed with spina bifida, your doctor may refer them to an orthotist – a specialist who provides devices that support the parts of the body when muscles are weak or bone and joints are aligned incorrectly. The orthotist will work with the doctor and the therapist to provide the best possible brace for your child.
Depending on the level of weakness, your child may be fit with a leg brace or a brace to support the spine. While ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are the most common braces to treat spina bifida, a brace (orthosis) may be used for any joint in the body depending on the child's needs.

Ashes To Ashes series 3 episode 6 review
Just brilliant. Ashes To Ashes messes with your head in spectacular style, as its final season heads towards its finale...
We've been sensing for a couple of weeks that someone was likely to meet their maker in Ashes To Ashes, a feeling heightened by the fact that this is the last series of the show.
But crikey.
The events and actions of episode six weren't really what we were expecting, and they're going to screw with our head for a good week until episode seven comes along.
So where do you begin? The story that held the episode together was one of a prison riot. Immediately, this offered one of many opportunities for Jim Keats to take digs and potshots at Gene Hunt, as he basically sat back and allowed him to make what proved to be a mistake. For against the advice of those around him, DCI Hunt charges into the prison in an attempt to quell the uprising – cue a great scene of him walking ahead of all the riot shields, looking hard as nails – but soon it becomes clear that everyone needs to beat a hasty retreat.
The problem? Viv, who has been trying to tell Gene something before he rampaged in, is left behind. We never find out exactly what Viv was trying to tell DCI Hunt, so we have to assume that it was something to do with the plot that would unravel later. For, as it turned out, Viv was the catalyst for the riot, having smuggled in a gun that had been signed out under Chris' name. It's a move that ultimately costs Viv his life.
That's just one ingredient part of a jam-packed episode, though. The growing divide between Alex Drake and Gene Hunt is another, and even though there's still some semblance of professional trust between them come the last act of the episode, we've never seen them anywhere near this strained. Fireworks surely lie ahead.
For there's no attempt from Drake to hide her disgust at Hunt's methodology, not least when he beats up Thordy, an escaped prisoner, while in custody, to the extent where his jaw is knocked out. Keats keeps seizing on these moments, and Drake finally cracks, in what could and should be a pivotal moment for the show. Just Drake telling Keats that there have been cover-ups had us taking a deep intake of breath, as the bond between Alex and Gene fell apart still faster.
And yet there's more. For we get more of the mystery over Sam Tyler and the numbers 6620. The only thing is, in giving us answers, Ashes To Ashes has thrown up a whole host of new questions.
Thordy is insistent to Alex that he is Sam Tyler, and it's he that insists that the prison situation isn't real. By way of proof, he offers the information that Viv isn't who he seems to be, which of course proves to be correct. But furthermore, he also gives Alex a tin box which turns out to have the schematics to the prison in. Thus, it gives Drake and Hunt the knowledge of how to go in and successfully rescue those trapped inside, which by this point – much to the unhappiness of Shaz – includes Ray and Chris (who get to share a tender moment of sorts when they both realise they might be about to die). It's made perfectly clear that the sending in of Ray and Chris is firmly on Gene's shoulders, and Keats once again uses this as ammunition in his quest to bring Hunt down. But where on earth did those blueprints come from?
Then there's the two mysterious figures to deal with. Firstly, the police officer with, as we suspected, the numbers 6620 on his arm. He eventually directs Alex to Gene Hunt's office (where Ray and Chris had caught her earlier and been a little too easily fobbed off from where we were sitting), where she discovers another tin box. In it? A camera film, and a picture of a police officer, specifically number 6620. Only this time, his face is fully intact. What did Gene Hunt do to him and how did it happen?
And while we're here, is Thordy really Sam Tyler? Because he knows an awful lot if he isn't, aside from the fact that East 17 sang Stay Another Day.
But he's not the second mysterious figure we're talking of.
Instead, it's Jim Keats. The same Jim Keats who's had two people die in his arms now (and go back and watch the moment where Viv dies in his arms: is it just us that feels that Viv is fighting against something when that happens? He looks petrified of Keats, as if his life is being sucked out by him). The same Jim Keats who hasn't looked too perturbed over time. And the same Jim Keats who seems to be successfully exposing the divisions and fractures in the CID team.
Just who is he? Is he a Sam Tyler-like figure? Is he someone else from the future? Is he the devil himself? Whichever formula fits, the performance of Daniel Mays week in week out is something of real quality. He's been exceptional, and has us pretty much screaming at the telly.
Ultimately, we're left with a humdinger of a cliffhanger, and a teaser for episode 7 that suggests far bigger divisions are coming to the fore. Is the house of cards really about to fall in around Gene Hunt? Are we going to find out who Jim Keats, Sam Tyler and officer 6620 really are? Who is Thordy, and how did he know so much? Is he really Tyler?
Given that it's the penultimate episode of the show of all time next week, we certainly hope we find out more. For, and let's make no bones about this, the episode we've just sat through was downright, edge-of-your-seat brilliant. Just superb.
The only sad thing about it? There's just two hours of Ashes left….

Most people know cough, fever and loss of smell and taste as symptoms of coronavirus.
But experts now believe that "cut" eyes may be a first sign of the virus, urging citizens to be vigilant.
The study was published in the BMJ Open Ophthalmology Journal and in addition to the "cut" eyes recognized as a possible symptom and photosensitivity.
The study was conducted by scientists at Anglia Ruskin University using a sample of 83 patients with coronavirus.
Among the symptoms recorded by the experts, 18% of the patients complained of photophobia, 17% reported "cut" eyes and 16% suffered from fatigue in vision.
In fact, eight out of ten who referred to eye symptoms had other symptoms within two weeks.
Previous research has reported conjunctivitis as a coronavirus, with the American Academy of Ophthalmology reporting that one in three coronavirus patients has a similar condition.

Netflix and the Erasure of History
"Trust should not be doled out easily to anyone, especially white people."
– Excerpt from "Leave the World Behind," released on Netflix December 8, 2023
If anyone thinks Netflix has abandoned the so-called woke programming that earned them sustained criticism back in the spring of 2022 and may have played a role in their cratering stock price at the time, their new movie should put that thought to rest. Woke, for lack of a better term, is alive and well at Netflix. Their cozy relationship with nouveau plutocrat power couple and White House alumni, Barack and Michelle Obama, and the blockbuster bomb of a movie they've produced together, epitomizes the culture of Netflix today. Such casual racism. "Don't trust white people." It's ok when they do it. But don't you dare.
To truly appreciate where Netflix is today, one must recall how they began. During the golden age of movie DVDs, in the late 1990s, Netflix arose as the mail-order alternative to renting videos from walk-in stores. But creative destruction never ends. Just as Netflix movies by mail drove corner movie rental stores out of business, streaming made DVDs delivered by mail obsolete.
On September 29, Netflix shipped their last DVD to subscribers and cancelled the service. And with that, one of the last, best windows into nearly a century of American culture was closed forever. At its peak around 2019, more than 100,000 movie titles were available on DVD, arriving in the familiar red envelopes. But as the subscriber base for DVDs shrank and competition from other streaming services grew, Netflix management decided the juice wasn't worth the squeeze.
This is a rational business decision. Netflix, a content behemoth with an enterprise value that has soared to more than $170 billion, doesn't need the headache of managing 17 DVD distribution centers tasked with shipping and receiving actual physical media. Netflix owns server farms that dispatch movies electronically, and their investment in physical assets must now prioritize production studios where the company invests literally billions in generating original content. With more than 50 percent of all video consumption in the U.S. now consisting of user generated content at zero cost to platforms like YouTube and TikTok, Netflix's challenge is keeping their 240 million streaming subscribers, not hanging on to a dwindling cadre of 1.2 million DVD clients.
Nonetheless, losing public access to what was, by far, the greatest collection of movies ever compiled is a tragedy. Netflix streaming services currently offer around 3,600 movies, barely 3 percent of what could be found in their DVD archives. It's easy to miss the significance of this loss for any American under 30 (or 40?). When it comes to mass entertainment, late millennials and members of Gen Z have spent their entire lives exposed to almost nothing but garbage – stylized violence, mandatory diversity, movies without plots; nothing but action, special effects, and political indoctrination. Why would anyone who hasn't sampled the rich legacy of American film before the age of woke have any idea what they're missing – not only what movies once were, but how they depict what life was once like?
For 25 years, Netflix gave us all a chance to touch the memories that defined us, the world we knew. Movies are an incomparable window into American history and culture, good and bad. They incorporate bits of everything, not merely the stories we told but the fashion, the music, the technology of the time. They show us what our nation looked like in each decade, who we were and how we lived.
The average American now spends two hours and 24 minutes every day on social media, typically either blowing out their emotional equilibrium in pointless, endless acrimony, or flipping through addictive, useless videos. The average American between the ages of 15 and 24 spends over an hour every day playing video games, equally addictive and equally useless.
Netflix, until September 29, offered something more. It not only offered a boundless oeuvre of cinematic drama, a glimpse into America's soul, it offered long-form content devoid of cheap tricks and vacuous, agenda driven narratives. These old movies delivered intricate plots that required sustained attention.
With old movies we can see clearly how each decade brought a new way of looking at the past. What was dramatic and authentic then is often seen now as ham-handed and corny. In the early American Westerns, our portrayals of Indians were arguably toxic but also naive. A white actress would play the part of an Indian squaw, with incongruous blue eyes and red greasepaint on her face that the makeup artist didn't even bother to extend to her hairline. White men would act the parts of Indians by wearing dark wigs with ponytails and neglecting to conjugate their verbs. And the music: a brass section ominously blasting pentatonic melodies in parallel fifth harmony every time an Indian appeared on the horizon or galloped up on horseback. There is value in seeing these tropes today. It reminds us how far we've come.
Old movies also remind us how far we've fallen. Movies show us what life was like before, for example, oligarchs started using "green" building codes to turn the U.S. into a rentier economy. Ward Cleaver today would not be strolling up a path surrounded by lawn to greet his wife and sons in a detached home with a yard. That man today would come home to a condo, his "owned" square footage part of a building with sixteen units per acre and no yard. He and his wife would both work full time to pay a mortgage that would consume every spare dime they could earn. Children, if they had any, would be holed up in a dark bedroom, glued to their screens.
Movies remind us of what we faced in more difficult times, and how we coped with challenges that dwarf – at least so far – the problems of today. Watch a young Sterling Hayden, a commander in the classic 1952 World War 2 drama "Flat Top," whip his recruits into shape for air combat. Watch Henry Fonda try to keep his family together in "The Grapes of Wrath," as they are displaced during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Watch Jimmy Stuart's character in "It's a Wonderful Life" fall into despair, then recover his optimism with the support of his small community, or watch the entire City of New York rally behind Edmund Gwenn's character in "Miracle on 34th Street." These and countless others were inspiring, sobering movies that have lasting relevance, produced by people who loved this country and wanted to encourage values of unity and selflessness. Movies made by people whose social consciousness expressed itself by presenting and upholding inspiring role models, traditional values, and patriotism, and by rejecting decadence. Try to find these classics on Netflix streaming. You might find a few dozen of the biggest hits. The rest, which are nowhere to be found, will fade further into obscurity, along with the culture that made them.
Movies from decades long past show what life was like in America before the nation simultaneously drowned itself in debt while its suddenly disenfranchised youth disappeared into an online stupor. They show us what life was like before, without anyone being consulted, and within just a few decades, we overturned our entire national ethnic composition at the same time as our ruling class decided to teach all of America's new arrivals to view those of us who were already here as privileged racists living on stolen land. Movies made before this historic betrayal depicted a high trust society, flawed to be sure, but committed to a shared culture and shared heritage.
All of that is gone now. Without the ability to see our history, dramatized and made accessible through old movies, will enough of us tomorrow recognize the revolutionary intent of movies like Leave the World Behind? Its part in the movement to Fundamentally Transform America? Or will our history and our people have melted into an undifferentiated, timeless, Pavlovian, algorithmically curated now?
Netflix gave us something beautiful, then took it away. It was good while it lasted.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know our photo order arrived today. Everything looks FABULOUS!!! We appreciate the quick turnaround in particular. It was great having you walk us through the products in person. I am glad you offer those because so often it's easy to tell yourself that you'll do things on your own through Shutterfly, etc. and then suddenly it's been 3 years and you still don't have that wedding canvas done (speaking from experience...).
Thanks again!!!
Thanks so much for such a great experience. I am so glad we were able to capture our family before and after our little one came. I really appreciated how you also made it fun for our 2 year old. You were so patient with him and he is still talking about "Molly take pictures". The photos look amazing, especially the album we purchased.
It was worth it to upgrade to the larger book and the quality is wonderful. The grandmas loved their little accordion books too. They make great little brag books.
Looking forward to seeing you again this fall.
Hi! I just wanted to say Thank You for doing such a wonderful job with our pictures! When we got our photos back it was truly heartwarming to see how you captured our little girl on film. You have such an incredible eye!
Your genuine personality comes out, not only when taking pictures, but when you took the time to help us decide what pictures to choose from with all the phenomenal shots!
I can not stop raving about you! Thank you for everything and we look forward to working with you again!
Hi Molly! I should have sent this long ago, but want you to know that that pictures you took couldn't have been more perfect! The large gallery wrap turned out absolutely beautiful, the details are all so clear and everyone that comes to our home comments on it.
Since we are having a gathering of friends and family soon, I was hoping to get a few of your business cards, since I know there will be a lot of interest.
Thanks again!

What if I need to reschedule?
I am a mom of three kids so I definitely understand that sickness creeps up on you. I ask for a 24 hour notice if you need to cancel your session, but we will definitely get you in at the next available opening. Session fees are transferable to another date, but non-refundable.
How long is my session?
All sessions (with the exception of newborn sessions) are about an hour long. Some sessions go closer to 90 minutes, but from my experience, kids are usually done after about an hour and I have gotten more than I need in that amount of time. Newborn sessions are 2-4 hours long. Each baby is different and I make sure to leave lots of time for diaper changes, feeding and snuggling!
What happens after my session?
You can expect to see a sneak peek (with your permission) on facebook! This usually happens within a few days of your session. Once I have proofed your gallery we will set a date to meet at my NE Minneapolis studio for your in person order appointment. At your order appointment you will get to see a slideshow of all your images as well as see the products that Molly Shields Photography offers. I will walk you through the different ways to order and explain any questions that may arise. You can expect to receive your products within 4-6 weeks.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Your session retainer reserves your session time on my calendar. I do not take a deposit for your order, but all sessions have a $400 minimum purchase required. Your minimum order will be paid at the time of your order appointment which is generally 1-2 weeks after your session has taken place.
What kind of payment do you take?

State income-tax revenue in December came in below estimates, making it the fifth-straight month revenue fell short. In addition, non-auto sales-tax revenue barely surpassed its projection, the first time it has done so in the first six months of this fiscal year, which began July 1.
Total state tax receipts in December missed the projection by $37 million, or about 2%, leaving revenue nearly $300 million below the estimate for the fiscal year.
The state is missing revenue targets that were already revised downward by $280 million at the beginning of the fiscal year. Revenue is down $152 million from the same six-month period a year earlier.
State Budget Director Tim Keen has said he expects both income-tax and sales-tax revenue in this fiscal year to come in below estimates. A built-in surplus and continued Medicaid under-spending are expected to allow the state to cover the revenue shortfall this year.
Keen and Gov. Kasich have repeatedly warned that revenue shortfalls are going to mean the new two-year budget, which Kasich will introduce at the end of January, will be especially tight. Kasich has warned that the state might be on the verge of a recession.
Legislative leaders have said the budget could be the most difficult one since 2011 which started with a multibillion-dollar hole because of the use of one-time money to balance the previous two-year budget.

Firefighters have a difficult profession that takes work, dedication, and determination. Hiring officials strive to examine a firefighter's intellectual, behavioral, and physiological readiness for the work during the interview. Examining a typical fire department survey questionnaire will assist you in preparing for this assessment. We've put up a list of firefighter interview questions with examples in this post.
Firefighter Interview Questions
- Which achievement will you be particularly satisfied with by the end of your career?
The above question focuses on your motives. Although the job of a fireman may appear exciting, it is critical to embrace it realistically. Therefore, interviewers are seeking people with clear priorities.
For example, I will be most pleased to have taught and supervised future firefighters, ensuring that my neighborhood is protected and supported even after retiring.
- What would you do if a citizen became enraged?
People get emotionally charged in severe emergency circumstances. Therefore, firefighters who know how to manage such situations calmly and responsibly are sought after by recruiters.
For instance, With every citizen, my first focus is their safety. I'd make certain the person is out of danger. I will then politely listen to their concerns, validate their feelings, and give an answer.
- What would you do if another fireman was trying to steal?
Within society, firefighters are treated with the utmost respect. Interviewers want to discover if you can work as part of a team and keep people accountable while also assisting the unit in maintaining these criteria.
Answer: Should I catch a theft, I would confront the offender to ensure that I understand what I'm seeing. I will indeed notify the encounter to my office if there was no plausible reason or if I did not believe that person's story.
- When you do not really know the answer to a question, so how would you reply?
Though firemen must be well informed, there'll always be circumstances in which they are unsure how to go about it. So when it comes to asking for assistance, the hiring manager is searching for applicants who know how to do so.
For example, If I'm not aware of handling a problem, I contact a supervisor or coworker for help. It's crucial to acknowledge when to rely on others' experience and skills, as this is the most effective method to broaden your overall depth of knowledge.
- Would you ever defy a command from a superior? When and why would you do it?
In a crisis, communication skills are essential, and firefighters are often required to pay close attention. Still, there may be times when disobeying an order is justified, and employers would like to know if you can spot these circumstances.
Answer: Well, I would defy a direct command if it were to become explicit that doing so would endanger someone's life. It's conceivable that the individual who gave the command didn't have a full picture of the situation at the moment. When deciding what to do in an unexpected crisis, I feel critical thinking and thorough judgment are always necessary.
- What made you want to work as a firefighter?
Your desire to become a fireman is a reflection of your values and interests. This is a tough job, but it may also be satisfying for those who are motivated. Therefore, interviewers are searching for persons that are motivated by their work.
Answer: I've always been impressed by firefighters' critical role in emergency conditions. My objective is to be one of the first individuals on the incident scene to help my neighborhood.
- What steps have you taken to prepare for a career as a firefighter?
Your knowledge and skills show potential employers how well qualified you are. Interviewers are looking for experience and activities that are related to the job.
Answer: I've completed CPR and first-aid training. I've been a volunteer fireman for three years and follow a tight exercise routine to be in shape for the job.
- What do you think a firefighter's everyday tasks entail?
Firefighters are responsible for a variety of tasks in the community. Interviewers assess your understanding of the role's responsibilities. They're usually searching for someone who can look past the basic job responsibilities of attending to disasters.
Answer: When firefighters are not summoned to an emergency, I think everyday tasks include training, administration, and civil service.
- How will you and your family handle a firefighter's schedule?
Firefighters frequently have four days on, four days off, causing them to be away from their family for numerous days and nights at one stretch. Therefore, it's critical to inform your boss that you've devised a strategy for making this timetable fit with your personal life.
Answer: Because my spouse works from home, he may change his schedule as needed. He can easily pick up our kids out of school or drive them to school every day while I'm on duty, and I can exchange them on my days off.
- What would be the most crucial characteristic of a firefighter?
Devotion, teamwork, adaptability, physical strength, morality, and problem-solving abilities are just a few of the qualities a successful fireman possesses. In addition, employers would want to know that you give more importance to your work.
Example: I feel that the most crucial attribute of a fireman is commitment. They must be committed to assisting their colleagues, helping the community, maintaining their health, and achieving the maximum benefit in any scenario.
- What is the major function of the fire department?
This question informs employers how well you understand a fire station's priorities and mission. Fire departments are responsible for various responsibilities, so you must grasp their breadth and relevance.
Answer: Though a fire department performs various functions in the community, its sole objective is to safeguard people and property.
- What steps would you take to assist the firefighting dept's education initiatives to improve?
A fire department's primary tasks include public education and disaster response. This question allows you to demonstrate that you are familiar with this position. Interviewers are looking for intelligent and well-educated individuals who will contribute to the growth and advancement of public education.
Answer: The fire safety initiatives provided in primary schools have always impressed me. I'd want to see these services extended to include other organizations, such as our regional boy scouts. Because many of our society's scouts are homeschooled, this might assist and enlighten many of the youngsters who would otherwise be unable to engage in these activities.
- What would you imagine a firefighter's job will look like in another five years?
The public service business can be impacted by advanced technology, new techniques, and changes in the economic or political scene. Your thoughtful response to this issue reflects your dedication to a long-term career as a fireman.
Answer: I'm interested in the possibility of robots to aid with firefighting. New technology and equipment may make it feasible to launch a robotic response team inside sites where a human firefighter would be particularly risky.
- What kind of contribution would you make to our fire dept?
Individuals who work in a fire station form a close team where each person plays an essential function. Prospective employers search for new firefighters who would fulfill a need and contribute to the team as valued assets.
Answer: I'm highly disciplined and detail-oriented. I enjoy evaluating methods and techniques to improve their efficacy. I'd put in a lot of effort to assist our department in becoming one of the best.
- Why are you interested in working for this particular fire department?
Firefighters are heavily committed to their communities and should be familiar with the people they serve. Show that you've done your homework about the dept and its local region by providing a response that's tailored to the community's requirements.
Answer: I was born and raised on Indianapolis' east side and am aware of the city's neglected neighborhoods. I'm excited to give back to the community where I grew up by offering public safety and education in underserved areas.
Comprehensive Firefighter Interview Questions
In-depth interview questions allow the recruiting manager better to grasp your attitude toward the life of a firefighter. In addition, these questions can assist the hiring manager in gaining a better understanding of your motives and the value you will offer to the team:
- How do you balance your work, family, and social life?
- What's the most difficult choice you've ever had to make, and how did you deal with it?
- How do you deal with pressure?
- How do you set your goals?
- What is your routine for maintaining your physical health and continuing your education?
- When you're not on duty, how would you spend most of your time?
- What would you do if you discovered a coworker was harassing you sexually?
- Explain why dignity and commitment are essential to a firefighter by defining them.
- As part of the recruiting process, we will conduct a thorough background check. Is there anything you'd want to see?
- Are you on the recruiting lists with any other fire stations, and would you relocate if offered a position from another city?

The Roots Bring Their Picnic to NYC
Last weekend (Oct. 1-2), in the pulsing heart of midtown Manhattan, The Roots hosted a picnic like none other, bringing together friends and heroes from across generations. In the year of the ninth annual Roots Picnic in their hometown of Philadelphia, the legendary hip-hop group brought the party to their adopted home of New York for the first time.
The inaugural Roots Picnic NYC took place in one of the most classically New York settings: Bryant Park, hedged by looming skyscrapers, steps away from Times Square and Grand Central and in sight of the Empire State Building. Here we experienced something of a macro mixtape, or a large-scale DJ set, cutting quickly from artist to artist on two opposite stages--in effect, two turntables ensuring a steady stream of music for hours. The set was very much in the style of Questlove, The Roots' drummer, curator of the event, and an excellent DJ, whose unique mixes span a wide spectrum of music and often go deep into the unexpected. The lineup traversed the past few decades of hip-hop, with visits from some of its earliest pioneers and some of the younger wave of rap, flavored by tastes of r&b, neo-soul, disco, experimental rock, indie pop and soft rock. The cloudy weather could have mellowed the vibe to a fault, but the energy stayed up through the whole of both days' rich lineups. A year's too long to wait for the Roots Picnic NYC Vol. Two.
Notable moments from Sat., Oct. 1
The Jungle Brothers, of the hip-hop old school and pioneers in the fusion of jazz, house, and rap, brought it back to the late '80s and '90s with their solid beats and steady flow.
[caption id="attachment_32018" align="aligncenter" width="534"] Mike Gee and Afrika Baby Bam of the Jungle Brothers[/caption]
Lady Leshurr, born in Birmingham, U.K. to parents from Saint Kitts, was a surprise favorite. She laid out funny, fiery, lightning-fast rhymes over sharp beats that lay somewhere between grime and trap, unabashedly boasting her greatness and playfully calling out haters for unbrushed teeth, dry lips, smelly feet and everything else that irks her. She commanded the crowd, hyping us up with her fast pace, big personality and wicked wordplay. A few times, she broke into a dancehall feel, and cited Sister Nancy's "Bam Bam" as being a formative song in her youth. Let's hope she makes it back to this side of the pond before too long.
[caption id="attachment_32021" align="aligncenter" width="534"] Lady Leshurr[/caption]
Questlove himself came out for a DJ set, spinning a signature unpredictable but thoroughly enjoyable mix of big-band jazz, funk and hip-hop. If you're in New York, check out his DJ sets most Thursdays at the Brooklyn Bowl.
[caption id="attachment_31992" align="aligncenter" width="640"] DJ Questlove[/caption]
Stretch and Bobbito also took to the turntables--a legendary duo of radio DJs whose show on WKCR ran throughout the '90s and played a significant part in introducing the wider world to then-unsigned New York rappers like Nas, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G. and Wu-Tang Clan. Bobbito spun a beautiful mix of samba and Puerto Rican plena, and Stretch took it back to the good old days, spinning a set of '90s New York hip-hop hits that the crowd loved.
[caption id="attachment_31995" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Stretch and Bobbito[/caption]
DJ Moma, of the much-loved dance party producers Everyday People, spun bumping selections of Afrobeats (Flavour, P-Square, etc) and contemporary hip-hop, notably Kendrick Lamar's "Alright," which brought down the house.
[caption id="attachment_31999" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Everyday People w/ DJ Moma[/caption]
Of course, the rich frosting on top of this already hearty musical confection was the wild two-hour long set backed by The Roots. The full force of their live band is a mighty thing, from Questlove's indomitably crisp, perfect breakbeats to Captain Kirk Douglas' guitar stylings, and Tuba Gooding Jr.'s thumping sousaphone. The set began with Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter at the mic, revisiting old Roots tunes.
[caption id="attachment_32004" align="aligncenter" width="534"] Black Thought[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_32005" align="aligncenter" width="534"] Captain Kirk Douglas and Tuba Gooding Jr.[/caption]
That alone would have been incredible enough, but of course, they didn't leave it there--after a frenetic, remarkable bit of drum machine magic from Jeremy Ellis, the Chicago rap icon Common surprised the crowd with a few of his songs and an incredibly potent three-minute a cappella freestyle condemnation of mass incarceration and police violence.
[caption id="attachment_32003" align="aligncenter" width="534"] Common[/caption]
As a distinct change of pace, guitar maestro and crooner John Mayer joined the band for a few of his tunes including, of course, his hit "Your Body Is A Wonderland." I wouldn't have expected it, but he and the band together sounded like a natural pairing--a fresh and deeper interpretation of his usual soft rock/blues feel.
[caption id="attachment_32006" align="aligncenter" width="640"] John Mayer[/caption]
The evening closed out with a long set led by the mighty D'Angelo, who re-emerged in 2014 from an over 10-year-long hiatus with a magical, mind-blowing album Black Messiah. That was something to behold: the neo-soul icon leading a band comprised of The Roots, John Mayer, and members of his own group, including bassist Pino Palladino (who has played across the globe, notably with The Who). That unforgettable entourage revisited some old-school D'Angelo tunes as well as some of the newer ones, with the man himself on organ and, of course, those incomparable vocals. Although there might not be anything like D'Angelo in the '90s and early '00s, his performance was excellent, rich with that deep, sensual soul that only he can deliver.
[caption id="attachment_32010" align="aligncenter" width="534"] D'Angelo[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_32011" align="aligncenter" width="534"] D'Angelo[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_32014" align="aligncenter" width="640"] D'Angelo[/caption]
Stay tuned for more on day two of the Roots Picnic, which packed perhaps even more of a punch.

Who Was Joseph Pilates?
Born in 1883, in Mönchengladbach, Germany, Joseph "Joe" Pilates was a gymnast, a bodybuilder and the inventor of the Pilates physical training method. As a child he suffered from poor health, but his gymnast father introduced him to gymnastics, body-building, wrestling and boxing, and by his late teens young Joseph had developed a remarkable physique. Later on, he got also involved with diving, skiing, yoga and meditation techniques.
At the age of 29, Pilates moved to England, where he worked as a circus-performer, a professional boxer and a self-defense instructor. After WWI he returned to Germany, but soon after he emigrated to the U.S., where together with his wife Clara, they opened their first Pilates studio in New York, which became very popular and soon grew into a worldwide phenomenon. Pilates died in 1967 of emphysema at the age of 83.
A true pioneer and an inventor, since he designed all of his equipment himself, Pilates devised a comprehensive method of physical training that revolutionized the world of fitness.

What is the Pilates Method?
Originally named "Contrology" to reflect the control of the mind over the body, the Pilates method is a comprehensive system of exercises that focuses on the coordination of breath, movement, and precise alignment. Joseph Pilates, the creator of the method, was truly ahead of his time and left a lasting legacy behind. While Pilates exercises are often performed on specialized machines like the Reformer and the Cadillac, they can also be done on a mat with minimal equipment.
The Pilates method is designed to enhance flexibility, build strength, and improve posture by engaging the deep core muscles and promoting balanced muscle development. The emphasis on controlled, flowing movements helps to increase body awareness and create a sense of harmony between the body and the mind. Through regular practice, individuals can develop a stronger, more supple body, and experience improved mobility and stability.
However, the Pilates method goes beyond physical fitness. Joseph Pilates believed in the inseparable connection between the body and the mind, recognizing that a healthy body is essential for overall well-being. His transformative process not only aims to sculpt and strengthen the physical body but also to cultivate mental focus, discipline, and inner balance. By integrating breath with movement, Pilates practitioners learn to harness the power of conscious breathing to facilitate relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance mental clarity.
Today, the Pilates method continues to be widely practiced and has gained recognition for its ability to address a range of fitness goals, from rehabilitation and injury prevention to enhancing athletic performance. Its holistic approach, combining physical conditioning with mental and emotional well-being, makes it a powerful tool for individuals seeking a comprehensive approach to health and vitality.

Excuse me Sir, are we allowed to take in our own lunches?" "Of course Sir, we have some lovely lawns for you and your family to sit and have lunch. The only thing you can't take in are glass bottles." "Thank you, no we don't have any glass bottles with us." "Okay Ted, what's first? We have about an hour before lunch. How about we start off on the slowest first, then have lunch, then build up to the biggest and scariest last?" "Sounds good to me Dad! So that means the Ghost Train first! Yay! Let's go! I love the Ghost Train! This train is very small and seems to jump around a lot, I hope it stays on the track. What was that noise, it sounded like a growl? There it is again, only louder now, it must be getting closer! Go away! Dad help, it's attacking me!" "I thought you loved the Ghost Train Ted?" "That's enough of that scary stuff, who touched my hair? I can feel something on my back! Dad get it off! That's not funny Dad, it touched me. What if it had eaten me? In the dark you wouldn't know I was gone!" "Oh, I think we'd know Ted. We'd miss all your chatter and noise!" "Thanks Dad, I always wanted to be remembered for my chatter – not!" "You are so funny Ted! I would never have thought you would be scared of the Ghost Train." "I wasn't scared, I just wasn't expecting anything like that, let's go have lunch!" "This is such a lovely spot to sit and have our lunch, we can see the whole Park from up here." "Would you like me to spread out the rug Mum?" "Yes thank you Ted, then I'll set out our sandwiches. I hope you two have lots of fun today." "It's a great spot Mum, and thanks for the yummy sandwiches, do we have any orange drink left?" "When we finish cleaning up here, we'll head for the Ferris Wheel. Will you be okay with the height Ted? Mum gets vertigo so she won't be going on anything high." "Sure Dad, it's only a Ferris Wheel, let's go! This is great! Whoa, why is it stopping? Sit still Dad, you're making it rock! Why aren't we moving, has it stopped working?" "No, don't worry Ted, they are just letting people off, and new people on, as it works it's way around." "Well I wish they'd hurry up, it's getting windy up here and I'm freezing!" "Just relax son and enjoy the view, wave to your Mum down there minding our things. We're moving down slowly now, so we'll be off shortly." "What's next Dad? How about the Mouse Trap?" "Okay, now your talking! Fast and furious, just how I like it! Are you sure you'll be okay on this ride Ted? Still a bit too high for Mum." "Sure, I'll be fine Dad. It's very fast but that doesn't bother me!" "Up we go, there are a lot of twists and turns to get back down to the bottom at a furious pace, so hang on tight Ted!" "Aaaaarrrr! Help I'm going to fall out! I can't hang on any longer, help me Dad!" "I've got you, you can't fall out! Just relax and enjoy the ride! We're coming into the station now, so you can open your eyes son!" "Get me off this stupid ride, it's dangerous, I almost fell out so many times!" "Okay Ted calm down, you didn't fall out. Maybe the next ride will suit you better, no twists and turns and the Pirate Ship isn't even very fast!" "I like the Pirate Ship, it's not as scary as some of the others. It's a shame it's still too high for Mum." "Mum is quite happy just to see all the animals and shows, she has never been interested in Funpark rides." "This is great Dad just swaying back and forth. It feels as if it is getting higher and picking up speed. Where is the seat belt Dad? I need a seat belt or I'll fall out!" "There is no seat belt Ted, you can hold onto the rail at the front if you're worried." "Uh oh, that is a long way down, and I feel like I'm falling! Hang onto me Dad! Help! Let me off this thing, I feel seasick!" "Just hang onto the rail Ted, it's starting to slow down now. You haven't had much luck with these rides have you Ted? Mum said you were a funny green colour when we got off the Pirate Ship. Are you feeling okay now?" "I'm fine, I just haven't found a ride I really like yet." "Well there aren't many left to try Ted. Other than the children's rides, we only have the Scenic Railway left. I don't think they call it that anymore, this one is called The Velociraptor for some reason. Will you be okay on this one Ted? It has a lot of twists and turns and some parts are very high." "Sure, I've always loved the Velociraptor, even when I was very small." "Okay then, Mum is minding our things as this is too high for her. Look at this Ted, we have the first seats, isn't that great?" "Have you ever been on the Velociraptor before Dad? Do you know what it means to have the front seats?" "No I haven't been on it before, but it doesn't worry me which seats we have. I guess with the first seats we get a better view!" "Please make sure the bar is in place and locked in. You will hear it click when it locks." "Okay the bar is locked in place, let's go!" "It's a long way up to the top, are you okay Dad? You look a little worried." "I'll be okay just didn't realise it was so high, it sure is a big drop, we're almost there. Aaaaarrrrr! Let me off this thing!" "Round and round, isn't this great Dad? Why are you holding on so tight, your knuckles are white! Why aren't you saying anything Dad? Your eyes are so big! Are you scared of this ride Dad? I love it, it's great! Round we go again! Aww, it's coming into the station, I could have stayed on here a lot longer!" "Mum, I think you better give Dad a hand, I don't think he feels very well." "I'm okay now, I just wasn't used to that ride!" "Hey Dad, that's my excuse!" "You're right Ted, guess we aren't so different after all! This has been a great day. Mum liked the rides that weren't too high, I liked the ones that didn't turn upside-down, and you liked the scariest one of all Ted. Now it's almost closing time and time we left for home. I don't know about you and Mum, but I'm looking forward to a nice peaceful ride home." "Me too Dad, let's go home!"

Are you having difficulties with your aging skin? Freckles and wrinkles? These things seem cute to a certain extent, but after a while, they begin to look unattractive and start to negatively affect your self-confidence.
After a certain age, some people require help with their aging skin concerns from a professional. That's when the question crops up into one's head, "Which aesthetic clinic is the best near me? Who should I opt for? Which is the best place to go?" Well, the answer to those questions depends on what kind of help you require.
There are all sorts of aesthetic clinics around these days and each one provides different services. Some specialize in treatments like facials, therapies, peels, etc. then there are clinics who have qualified doctors that provide more expert-level services and treatments like injectables, body contouring, and laser treatment services.
In order to find a clinic that suits your needs and requirements, check out these 4 ways to pick the best aesthetic clinic and all the things you should look for before booking an appointment with your chosen aesthetic clinic.
If the clinic one has opted for holds experience and expertise they should be assured that their expectations will be met, they will be treated respectfully and will leave contented with the services provided.
A cosmetic business needs to have a reputation in the field and amongst other competitors. If the clinic is reputable that means it's dependable for the clients and they are offering quality services. Again, if the clinic is reliable it's an indication that they are at the right place.
In a traditional setting, patients tend to feel susceptible or demotivated. Doctors explain and talk about the problem areas in detail which make the patient feel week and vulnerable, whereas doctors should be all about empowering their patients, they should make them feel beautiful regardless of their problems. It's vital for the client to feel content when taking the services, this is why the second point is so important the clinic that holds a reputation will treat their customers unimpeachably, and hence we encourage people to get in touch with the customer service representative of the clinic before visiting.
Opt for a clinic that is fully involved in the industry. Where they are continually innovating. Technology is taking over the world, even in this field, it is moving rapidly and that is exhilarating. Look for a clinic that attends conferences and is dependable.
Aesthetic clinic job is to make people feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident and the doctors who are highly skilled, qualified, and experienced are capable of doing so with the latest treatments and technologies. All an individual has to do is to keep these 4 things in mind and if they are fortunate enough to encounter these points in a clinic they should be assured that they are in safe hands.

With two remaining scholarships and most priority recruiting targets already off the board, National Signing Day was never going to be jam packed with news for Illinois. Still, Lovie Smith managed to make a few more surprise splashes early on Tuesday morning, with the biggest being a commitment from three-star defensive end Bobby Roundtree (FL). The 6-foot-5, 230-pound lineman was widely believed to be headed to Indiana prior to selecting the Orange and Blue.
According to 247Sports, Roundtree is the No. 1281 overall player in the class-of-2017. He boasted additional Power 5 scholarship offers from Louisville, Michigan State, Virginia Tech, Iowa State, Kansas State, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi State, N.C. State, Oregon State, Rutgers, and Vanderbilt.
— Bobby Roundtree (@RoundtreeBobby) February 1, 2017
Bobby Roundtree Analysis (via Scout)
Roundtree is fairly raw and has to continue to work on developing some go-to moves, but possesses a great frame and undeniable size and length at the midpoint of his senior season. Roundtree is a smooth athlete that does a nice job of operating in space and chasing down the football, but has packed on noticeable mass in recent months as well. He plays with good discipline by setting the edge, breaking down and then striking his opponent with good pad level.

6 Unknowns, Which Relate To Our Economic situation!
If, we can predict the future, properly, and constantly, lots of points, would be simpler, and much more effective, to accomplish as well as achieve! It would make points, such as, successful investing, acquiring financial investment realty, purchasing a home (at the best opportunity), examining task/ profession possibilities, etc, a far - easier, task! However, in the real life, numerous uncertainties, exist, as well as these, usually, are significant and appropriate, related to the total performance, and problem of the economic climate! With, that in mind, this short article will certainly try to, briefly, take into consideration, examine, as well as evaluation, 6 particular, unknowns, which, are related, significantly, to lots of components, etc, of our economy.
The impacts of significant deficiencies: At the here and now time, the United States of America, is experiencing, traditionally, large/ significant deficiencies! This, began, after the 2017 tax obligation legislation, which created, concerning a trillion buck deficiency! It continued, and ended up being bigger, as a result of the needs, for larger quantities of public assistance, based upon the humane demands, caused by the ramifications, as well as influences, from the horrific pandemic! The pretension of many political leaders, opposing and supporting, deficit spending, selectively, when it appears to fulfill their personal/ political program, develops, a significant - incongruity, in exactly how we proceed, onward, as well as take care of government funds, etc!
The rising cost of living/ economic downturn, see - saw: Frequently, Federal Reserve Bank, cash plan, and also, specifically, rates of interest, etc, are, greatly, predominantly, based on the perceptions/ anxieties, etc, related to prospective dangers, of, either, inflation, or recession. Traditionally, they use plans, making the simplicity and costs of loaning, based, nearly specifically, on response, instead of proaction! When inflation is been afraid, interest rates climb, and also when, they intend to promote the economy, they loosen up these plans, and also reduced rates! We currently, are experiencing, historically - low, interest rates! Is this a type of control, or well - thought about, plans?
Rate of interest unpredictabilities: How long, will prices, remain, reduced? Is the plan, based upon an audio - approach, or, politics, and/ or, adjustments? These numbers, typically, figure out lots of elements of our economy, particularly, housing (mortgage prices, etc), the impacts on the stock markets, etc. Just how might these unsure times, cause possible ramifications?
Future housing/ real estate market: For, a while, the real estate market, has actually been, a sellers market, due to the fact that the number of qualified purchasers, has exceeded, homes - for - sale! For how long will this continue? The mix of pent - up, need, coming from the pandemic, etc, and also, document - reduced, home loan prices, has actually developed, a massive uptick/ boost, in house rates! Will that continue, sluggish, or rather - turn around?
Jobs/ industries of future: Will we, be prepared, for the future, by encouraging, task/ profession training, which are driven, by future demands? Would not it make sense, to focus - on, training former coal workers, and others, in sustainable industries, etc, such as, renewable resource, cyber - safety, etc?
Importance of Climate, Environment, and also Public Health and wellness: If, our highest concerns, are not, in areas, such as environment, environment, and public health - relevant, markets, does not it, bode, poorly, for the sustainability, of our nation, as well as the planer? Do not we, owe, at - least, this, to future generations? When, partial politics, as well as populism, appear, to inspire, many public leaders, and also they postpone, when, they should be aggressive, isn't that, a clear, and present threat?
The good news is, or, unfortunately, little, of effect/ relevance, obtains done, when politics, comes to be a greater influencer, than smart approaches, as well as actions! Will you demand much better, quicker, as opposed to later on?

What is a dish garden?
A dish garden is a pleasing arrangement of several different. plants in a single container. The container can be of almost any shape or size and may be made of most any material. Dish gardens are especially valuable because they can be easily placed at various vantage points throughout your home.
What are the different types of dish gardening?
Types of Dish Gardens
Type of Dish Garden | Plant Selection Ideas |
Field and Meadow | Ferns, fungi, grasses, hawkweed, juniper seedling, lichens, mosses, pussytoes, wild strawberry |
Herbs | Chives, creeping thyme, rosemary, other small herbs |
Mediterranean | Euphorbias, succulents, small cacti |
What is the importance of dish gardening?
Dish gardens can be maintained without consuming too much space. This can filter out indoor air toxins and can also help in reducing one's stress. "When we speak, our plants absorb [carbon dioxide], while plants also give us oxygen," Frago added.
How do you care for a dish garden?
Generally, dish gardens can be watered about once a week, less than a cup of water for smaller dish gardens, say under a half foot in diameter; more for larger containers. But depending upon the environment, hot and dry or cooler and more humid, your dish garden could require more or less water than this general rule.
What are the 3 elements of Ikebana dish garden?
Arranging Plants for Ikebana Ikebana arrangements require at least three distinct parts called Shin, Soe, and Hikae. These parts are defined by height.
Are garden plants poisonous to dogs?
Many garden plants are potentially toxic to dogs. They include chrysanthemum, aconite, buttercup, daffodil, daphne, delphinium, foxglove, hydrangea, oak, tomato, wisteria and yew. If you notice any worrying symptoms and think your dog may have ingested part of a plant, take your pet to the vet.
What are the materials needed in dish gardening?
The items you'll need in creating a dish garden are a dish or a pot, gravel, charcoal, soil mix, vermicompost, and small plants that can thrive with minimal water. As per Frago, pots for dish gardens usually measure about four to five inches deep, while other growers also use flat, more shallow containers.
What plants are in a classic dish garden?
The Classic Dish Garden is a collection of easy to care for plants that are hand arranged in a decorative planter by one of our plant specialists. Plant varieties may include camille dieffenbachia, polka dot, neatha bella palms, nepthytis, arboricola, aluminum plant, philodendron and more.
What are the benefits of container gardening?
Going the container route saves space, helps control pests and overcome soil issues, enabling the availability of home grown fresh produce without a yard. But it is important to choose a seed or a plant that was specifically developed for the compact container space.
Why is my dish garden dying?
But while environmental factors are a concern, over-watering is the biggest cause of dish garden death. The solution to this problem is at your fingertips. A simple touch of the soil is all that is needed to test soil moisture. Allow the soil to nearly dry out before watering again.
How do you separate a dish garden?
These dish gardens are easy to disassemble by simply removing individual pots from the collective container and repotting each separately in slightly larger pots for continued growth.
How do you care for a succulent garden?
How to Care for Succulents (And Not Kill Them): 9 Plant – Care Tips
- Make Sure Your Succulents Get Enough Light.
- Rotate Succulents Frequently.
- Water According to the Season.
- Water the Soil Directly.
- Keep Succulents Clean.
- Choose a Container with Drainage.
- Plant Succulents in the Right Soil.
- Get Rid of Bugs.
How do you take care of funeral plants?
Avoid placing the funeral plant in a drafty area. Water with a water soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength every other week and add water when the top 1 inch of soil is dry. Move the plant to a new pot with new potting soil immediately after the funeral service if it is not in a well-drained flower pot.

It was another thrilling affair for Sporting KC on St. Patrick's Day as they were able to fend off the San Jose Earthquakes and get the 3-2 win at Children's Mercy Park. While a bit sloppy in defense, an exciting attacking core was enough to secure all three points.
The decisive moment came off the foot of Sporting Kansas City's new maestro, Felipe Gutiérrez, in the 68' minute. Although this time it was clever play from his teammates that would put him on goal. Johnny Russell played a diagonal ball across the field and Daniel Salloi made a move on it. He brought the defense with him and just gave the ball the slightest of touches to send it on for Gutiérrez streaking behind him at the top of the box. Felipe still had a man to beat but quickly fired a shot past everyone to the far post. It was a deliberate finish that fans of Sporting KC are not used to seeing. He simply picked his corner and put it in the back of the net for a 3-2 lead.
The home side wasted no time in setting the pace of the match and had two chances on goal in the opening moments. Sporting made their intentions known as Gutiérrez fired a dangerous shot from distance and then sent Johnny Russell into the box moments later before two minutes had passed.
After some early excitement, the cold set in and the environment calmed down a bit. But Russell, sacrificing his body, got things going when he won a penalty in the 25' minute. The Scotsman was able to get a vital touch in the box before keeper Andrew Tarbell sent him head over heels. Ilie stepped up and calmly tucked the ball away in the corner of the net for the 1-0 lead and his first goal in a Sporting KC uniform.
The Earthquakes woke up and began showing signs of life. They were asking questions that the Sporting KC defense couldn't answer. As SKC struggled to clear the ball in the 34' minute, Vako cleaned up the mess to bring the match level.
The worrying moments continued for a defensive core that seemed impenetrable at this time last year. But the teams went into the break tied at 1-1.
It might have been cold but Zusi lit the stadium on fire in the 56' minute. He took a pass from Espinoza and cut inside at the top of the box. The San Jose defense was nowhere to be found and he took an extra touch to set himself before sending a screamer into the roof of the net. Tarbell gave him a courtesy dive to make the highlight - but he didn't have a chance. Zusi likes to let a couple of those fly each season and he cashed in early to give SKC the advantage.
The third goal would prove to be the match winner as Chris Wondolowski was able to pull one back at the 90-minute mark with a very impressive one-time finish. It was made even more surprising after watching him miss a sitter earlier in the 2nd half that couldn't help but bring up memories of the World Cup. But we aren't supposed to talk about that anymore.
SKC was able to lock it down for the remaining stoppage time and come away with their first home win of the season. The defense in this match (as well as the first two matches) will undoubtedly leave some fans worried, but the way Sporting look going forward is very exciting. The record improves to 2-1 and SKC sit in 3rd place in the West.
Next up is a trip to Commerce City to take on the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
