Back Spurs to prove themselves contenders with @Sportingbet_com
Our betting partners Sportingbet run through the markets available for Thursday night's match against Chelsea.
Our betting partners Sportingbet run through the markets available for Thursday night's match against Chelsea.
Thursday night hands Tottenham Hotspur the big stage as they take on Chelsea with the target of proving themselves true title contenders.
The blip at Stoke aside, Spurs' have been consistent enough to make the 6/4 for a home win look a touch of value - especially when you consider the victories over Liverpool and Arsenal at White Hart Lane.
The visitors faltered over the weekend as lowly Wigan held them to a draw, but having beaten Man City only a few days earlier, the Blues still carry a heavyweight threat. We make them slight underdogs on North London soil, with 17/10 for an away win and 23/10 for the draw.
The clash looks primed for goals given 80% of Spurs games and 75% of Chelsea away trips have paid out on Over 2.5 strikes; 3/4 is the offering this time around while two or less pays 19/20.
Chelsea's defence has been less than convincing this term, conceding in nearly 90% of their games, so if you see Harry's boys sticking at least two past Petr Cech, you'll be snapping up the 6/5 or Spurs to notch Over 1.5 goals.
If you fancy an alternative punt on the same night, make sure you check our Sports Personality of the Year odds. We make cyclist Mark Cavendish 2/5 favourite to take the BBC Sport's top honour.
He is a long way clear of the likes of Rory McIlroy (16/1) and Andy Murray (350/1), so you can back any other winner at 2/1 or take your pick of any nomination to finish in the top three. Check out the Specials section for all our SPOY markets and plenty more.
Good luck!
Odds correct at time of writing...

Composer's Notes
The Alleged Dances were the next pieces written after the Violin Concerto, a complex work that took a full year to compose. The Concerto emboldened me to go further with string writing, and some of the techniques and gestures I'd touched on in it appeared again in the new string quartet, only in a less earnest guise. The "Book" is a collection of ten dances, six of which are accompanied by a recorded percussion track made of prepared piano sounds. The prepared piano was, of course, the invention of John Cage, who first put erasers, nuts, bolts, and other damping objects in the the strings of the grand piano, thereby transforming it into a kind of pygmy gamelan. In the original version of Alleged Dances the prepeared piano sounds were organized as loops installed in an onstage sampler, and one of the quartet players triggered them on cue with a foot pedal. This made for a lot of suspense in the live performance—perhaps too much, as the potential for crash-and-burn was so high that Kronos eventually persuded me to create a CD of the loops, a decision that allowed for significantly less anxiety during concerts.
The dances were "alleged" because the steps for them had yet to be invented (although by now a number of choreographers, including Paul Taylor, have created pieces around them). The general tone is dry, droll, sardonic. The music was composed with the personalities of the Kronos players very much in mind. The little pavane, "She's So Fine," for example, is expressly made for Joan Jeanrenaud's sweetly lyrical high cello register, and the hoe-down, "Dogjam", honors David Harrington's bluegrass proclivities.

An Introduction To Medical Malpractice In The United States
The next is an essay submitted at the College of Newcastle Australia 2012 by Ryan Lee for POLI3001. Regulation Enforcement: Legislation enforcement officers take stories for crimes that happen in their areas. The extra probably than not" normal of legal proof required in medical malpractice litigation can also be known as the preponderance of evidence" normal; it's less demanding than the past cheap doubt" customary required to convict legal defendants.
Physicians training in the United States usually carry medical malpractice insurance to protect themselves in case of medical negligence and unintentional damage. It operates underneath a system of Roman Civil Law and the Uniform Commercial Code of worldwide legislation. Medical malpractice is outlined as any act or omission by a physician throughout therapy of a affected person that deviates from accepted norms of observe within the medical community and causes an damage to the patient.
As a result, the laws of any given state invariably differ from the laws of its sister states. Prosecutors evaluate the proof brought to them by law enforcement to determine whether or not to file charges or drop the case. Many social service companies present free authorized assistance to immigrants (legal and unlawful), although some may serve the nationals of a particular nation or religion only.
Most students will probably be pressured to memorize the Preamble of the Constitution, but the corporate government's education system fails to teach the Bill of Rights. In juridical circles, the Pure Regulation has been below assault for greater than a century, not simply in the United States, but all through the Western World. Some health organizations who employ physicians already apply some of these concepts by assuming legal responsibility for their worker-physicians.

--Testosterone patches -- typically used by men -- may provide a libido boost to women who want to turn back the clock on their sex drive. A the study in the New England Journal of Medicine involved women from several different countries who were experiencing a decrease in their libido after menopause.
Those on the patch reported a modest but meaningful boost in their sex lives after a year.
But researchers say there are side effects to consider, including extra hair growth and cancer. And, they say, more research is needed to better understand which patients are more likely to experience negative effects.
The test was sponsored by the maker of the testosterone patch Intrinsa.

They are not in Castle Rock. They are in Salt Lake City, UT. I was looking for someone local and they are not.
My experience with this company has been less than satisfactory. I have not been able to get my project off the ground with them. I have spoken to two different design consultants, its been two weeks and numerous phone calls to them, and no word on anything. Terrible customer service and very unprofessional!
The quality is terrible. I paid more for overnight shipping than the sign was even worth in order to get it here before my Craft Fair. When I opened it, I was excited until I look at it. The pixels are so low that you can see right through all of the graphics and the company name. I contacted them through their chat support and the rep told me that they'd give me a 15% refund but that is it and that the quality would be the same if i re-ordered another sign. And some of the graphics where cut off. I was very disappointed to hear that and asked why the quality was so low and the rep said they needed to get new machines. I then asked if he could email me the file at least so that I could go somewhere else and get the quality sign that I needed and then he said "sure" and left the conversation without saying anything. i replied and said, "Hello, are you still there," and 10 mins. later...nothing other end. Terrible quality and customer service. Go to somewhere with better quality machines.
I've never had such professionalism when ordering a sign!!! Great customer service and knowledge.
MY Gosh that was a fast turn a round ....thanks guys
Had a family gathering and needed a big banner and got it a great price and in time for the event
Store front was looking grim so i called signs.com and a week later im good to go...Thanks again

Which is Better Hypnotherapy or Psychotherapy
Helping people with their thoughts and emotions is not an easy job and sometimes a friendly help is not enough. In some cases, people need medical therapy to get over their emotions and thoughts in those situations psychotherapy and hypnotherapy are coming in place. These two types of therapy are not the same even though they can treat similar disorders and issues, they are quite different in many ways.
Advantages of Hypnotherapy
Finding out which of these therapies is better, you need to know them a little bit better. That's why we will now talk about some of the advantages that hypnotherapy has over the psychotherapy. The first major advantage is that hypnotherapy is dealing directly with the subconscious mind. The second advantage is that hypnotherapy is in most cases a lot faster in achieving beneficial changes and giving results. Getting results from therapy is the main goal and if you can get results faster one way, then this must be the better way.
However, we cannot say that this is completely true because it wasn't proven that you will get results faster with hypnotherapy with a research, but that's what are some of the most experienced practitioners are saying. They get that from their personal experience when they see that the patients are responding much faster to the hypnotherapy treatment than the psychotherapy.
Finding the Best Choice
There is not really any other sign that one therapy is better than the other. Some people are responding better to hypnotherapy and some people better to psychotherapy there is no way to tell which one will work better for you. The best way is to find out yourself by using both therapies and see which one you like better and which gave you the fastest and best results.
There is no other way around it, you have to experiment with these therapies, but you have to be careful and try not to force your body too much with these therapies because that can have some bad outcomes. More importantly, try not to use both of them at the same time mostly because you will stress yourself too much and because you will not be able to tell which one did help you.

This term is derived from the early 18th Century and was used to describe the Archbishop of Kashmir (Lord Tre Shah) under the British Rule of the Indian Subcontinent led by Queen Victoria and handled by the East India Company. The term was used due to the fact that Lord Tre Shah was quite the Womanizer and had many mistresses with a reported 6 wives during his lifetime. This term has been passed down and is currently used as a slang term and the meaning of this term is now to describe a male that has his ways with the female persuasion. It is similar to the term pimp but this term is more 'hip' nowadays.

Woodlands Community Cafe
Our vegetarian community café takes place on Monday evenings, feeding an average of 70 people per week, with meals cooked using fresh ingredients including those grown at our community garden. We also run regular cookery workshops both at the cafe and in partnership with other local organisations. You can join us every Monday from 5.30 - 7.30pm at Fred Paton Centre, 19 Carrington Street, Glasgow, G4 9AJ
We are also providing healthy meals at a Tuesday afternoon Homework Club in partnership with Queens Cross Housing Association.
Our work is centred around a shared meal, with people who are the beneficiaries being actively involved in its preparation, cooking and serving. The strength of our community cafe lies in that there is no distinction between those providing the aid and those receiving it, all are actively encouraged to volunteer in our work. The food we serve is high quality, freshly prepared and of the same quality you would expect in an expensive restaurant. The café has a very welcoming atmosphere, with music workshops and performances adding to its ambience. It is very much a positive place to come. By encouraging a healthy vegetarian diet, we are making permanent changes in people's perception towards food. Our Café not only provides access to good, fresh and healthy food, it also enables communities from all backgrounds to socialise in a safe welcoming environment. Volunteers who we train and support are gaining skills, confidence and self-esteem and our work has had a transformative effect on people attending.
" Volunteering at Woodlands Community café and garden, working alongside a group of positive and encouraging people, attending a variety of trainings and getting the support and friendship from the Woodlands team has helped me and gave me the courage and confidence to look for a job. After rehab I never thought I would be able to go back to work let along paid employment. I thought I was unable to do that. Volunteering for Woodlands helped me to approach work and realised that I am actually able to fit in in society. It has giving me the opportunity to improve myself, believe in myself and be a better person. Staff members of woodlands actively helped me to find a job. This is by helping me to write my CV and acting as my referee so I could get a job trial and then full-time pay employment. I am so happy and cannot thank you enough."
"I came to the café as I can't afford to buy food and am relying on my friend every day to feed me and my daughter. I really liked how you didn't need to bring any papers to prove something".
"It's a lifeline. Good nutritious food."
"I am disabled and often don't eat well due to fatigue. Coming to the café means I get good healthy food and a vegetarian food".
"I enjoy the healthy food and coming out from my home where I feel alone and isolated."
"Woodlands Community Café not only provides access to good, fresh, and healthy food for a great number of people in our community every week, it also actively breaks down the stigma often associated with accessing food charity. Food here is shared and in that sharing we are all made to feel equal. The Community Café is welcoming, supportive, and nourishing in every way possible."
"I really like the Community Café. There are many good people. I have learnt a lot through volunteering with them, new skills I never knew I could do. For example, I learnt how to prepare food, cook, speak with people.I have been looking for a job for at least two years. Thanks to woodlands staff, their training, advice, support with my CV and their reference I was finally able to get a job. It feels great and I am very happy. Thanks to Woodlands. I now have a good job and I am able to improve myself. Woodlands has giving me the practical skills to start a new life. I now want to progress and perhaps do some specific training to become a chef. Thank you! I am very happy."

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014: A Major Step Back on Privacy
Blog Post
June 23, 2014
Last week, Senator Feinstein made public a draft cybersecurity information sharing bill titled the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014 (CISA), which the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is expected to mark up later this week. CISA takes a significant step back from the privacy protections that were included in the last cybersecurity information sharing bill considered by the Senate, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S. 3414). It also fails to address the significant concerns that have been raised over the last year as Americans have learned about the scope and breadth of the government's surveillance and cyber operations.
In its current form, this legislation would, among other things, create an expansive new information sharing program that would give the NSA access to vast quantities of new information, authorize private entities to engage in an array of countermeasures that could potentially harm average internet users, fail to adequately protect individuals' personal information, absolve companies of all liability for harms resulting from negligent or improper information sharing, and does not attempt to prevent stockpiling of NSA-discovered vulnerabilities by setting standards for their disclosure.
Pasted below and attached here is the Open Technology Institute's analysis of CISA, and recommendations for how to improve the legislation to better protect Americans' privacy, while strengthening Internet security:
Analysis on the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014:
A Major Step Back on Privacy
Robyn Greene, Policy Counsel
The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014 (CISA)[i] takes a significant step back from the privacy protections that were included in the last cybersecurity information sharing bill considered by the Senate, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S. 3414).[ii] It also fails to address the significant concerns that have been raised over the last year as Americans have learned about the scope and breadth of the government's surveillance and cyber operations.
In its current form, this legislation would, among other things, create an expansive new information sharing program that would give the National Security Agency (NSA) access to vast quantities of personal information, authorize private entities to engage in an array of countermeasures that could potentially harm average Internet users, fail to adequately protect individuals' personal information, and absolve companies of all liability for harms resulting from negligent or improper information sharing, and legitimate the NSA's practice of stockpiling known vulnerabilities for its own use rather than responsibly disclosing them.
CISA's Information Sharing Procedures Allow Direct Military Involvement in Civilian Cybersecurity Programs: CISA would authorize de facto information sharing with the NSA, because under its information sharing provisions, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is required to establish procedures for receiving cyber threat indicators that enable entities within the Department of Defense (DOD), such as the NSA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, to access the information simultaneous with receipt by DHS (CISA, Sec. 5(c)(1)(C)). Additionally, the government's procedures prohibit any delay or interference with the dissemination of cyber threat indicators (CISA, Sec. 5(a)(3)).
Thus, DHS would serve merely as a portal for DOD entities to receive cyber threat indicators, and there would be no functional distinction between sharing with a civilian agency and sharing directly with the NSA. Additionally, the procedures require that companies share information in an "electronic format," which is vaguely defined to include "a real time, automated process between information systems" (CISA, Sec. 2(9), and Sec. 5(c)(A)). This may be interpreted to authorize the government to gain direct access to a company's information systems to receive cyber threat indicators. Finally, DHS and DOJ lack independence in establishing their procedures and must coordinate with, rather than merely consult, military and intelligence agencies.
Instead, a civilian agency should be in charge of receiving cyber threat indicators, and only share them with military or intelligence agencies when those indicators are necessary to address a significant cyber threat. The Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (CSA 2012) had a much more civilian-centric process for information sharing from the private sector to government. It would have created a cybersecurity exchange, either within a civilian federal entity or a non-federal entity, to receive and distribute threat indicators, with procedures to share threat indicators in "as close to real time as possible with appropriate" federal and non-federal entities (CSA 2012, Sec. 703(a)).
CISA Authorizes Excessive Information Sharing and Countermeasures: CISA would authorize an overly expansive new information sharing program because it fails to reasonably limit the instances in which information can be shared, what kinds of information can be shared, and what can be done to mitigate a cybersecurity threat, based on overbroad definitions of the terms "cybersecurity threat," "cyber threat indicator," and "countermeasure."
CISA authorizes information sharing with the government about any "cybersecurity threat," which is defined as any action that "may result in an unauthorized effort to adversely impact" a system (CISA, Sec. 2(7)). This extremely permissive standard for likelihood of an attack requires only that there is a vague possibility that an action will pose a threat. Additionally, the concept of "adverse impact" is too broad, and could cover a wide variety of inconsequential impacts that would not pose serious threats to an entity's network or system. In contrast, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 more tightly defined "cybersecurity threat" as "any action that may result in unauthorized access to, exfiltration of, manipulation of, harm of, or impairment to the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of an information system or information that is stored on, processed by, or transiting an information system," except all actions protected by the First Amendment and terms of service violations (CSA 2012, Sec. 708(6)). That narrower definition, when combined with the other privacy protections included in the 2012 bill, posed far less of a threat to privacy.
Additionally, the types of information that can be shared with the government, "cyber threat indicators," are defined too broadly, and include anything that "indicates, describes, or is necessary to identify" a cyber threat, or "any other attribute" of the threat (CISA Sec. 2(8)). Therefore any and every part of a communication that falls within the bill's overbroad definition of "cybersecurity threat"—including the content of that communication, or any metadata associated with it—could be shared with the government, since it could be considered to "indicate" or "describe" the threat, or fit into the catchall "any other attribute" category. Instead, the bill should allow sharing only of cyber threat indicators that are reasonably necessary to identify or respond to a narrowly defined cybersecurity threat, and from which "reasonable efforts were made" to remove personally identifiable information, as was the case in the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (CSA 2012, Sec. 708(7)).
Finally, once an entity identifies a cyber threat, CISA would allow that entity to respond to that threat with an overbroad set of countermeasures, including any "action, device, procedure, technique, or other measure" that prevents or mitigates a threat or vulnerability (CISA, Sec. 2(5)). Terms like "procedure," "device," and any "other measure" are so broad that they may be interpreted to authorize any possible countermeasure, including inserting malware or spyware on someone else's computer, possibly even before they have attacked, as a means of "prevention." The bill exempts companies from all other provisions of law that would prohibit such hack-back activities, and requires only that these countermeasures be "applied to" information systems of the countering entity or those of parties who have consented to the countermeasures – there is no requirement that the effects of the countermeasures be contained within those systems. Thus, the impact of countermeasures authorized under this bill could be far reaching, and could inadvertently affect countless innocent Internet users who are wholly unrelated to the cybersecurity threat. This provision should be substantially narrowed or removed entirely.
CISA Authorizes Sharing of Unnecessary Personally Identifiable Information (PII): CISA requires only that entities sharing cyber threat indicators must, before sharing, "remove any information contained within such indicators that is known to be personal information of or identifying a United States person, not directly related to a cybersecurity threat" (CISA, Sec. 5(b)(2)(B)). However, because this provision only requires stripping out PII that the sharing entity "knows" is PII of a US person, it provides insufficient protection — especially when compared to the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which included in its definition of "cyber threat indicator" a requirement to make reasonable efforts to strip all PII (CSA 2012, Sec. 708(7)), whether initially known or not, and whether belonging to a US person or not.
CISA Inadequately Limits Government Use of Information It Receives: CISA authorizes federal, state, local, and tribal governments to use cyber threat indicators they receive in investigations and prosecutions that are far outside the scope of cyber crimes. The federal government may use that information to prevent, investigate, or prosecute not just violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act but also ID document and authentication feature fraud, aggravated ID theft, access device fraud, economic espionage, theft of trade secrets, and violation the Espionage Act, which could have serious implications for whistleblowers who are seeking to disclose abusive or illegal activity or journalists reporting on those abuses. Even worse, state, local and tribal governments can "use, retain, and further share" information they receive for any law enforcement purpose, so long as they obtain the consent of the entity that provided the information.
Instead and at most, CISA should only allow law enforcement uses of cyber threat indicators to protect information systems from cybersecurity threats, and for investigations and prosecutions that pertain to cybersecurity crimes, the imminent threat of death or bodily injury, or a serious threat to minors, as was the case in the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (CSA 2012, Sec. 704(g)(2)(B)).
CISA Authorizes Companies to Monitor Their Customers' Activities: The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) already allows private entities to intercept communications made over their networks in order to protect their right and property or combat trespassers, and to access the data that they store. CISA undermines the reasonable privacy protections included in those authorities, as well as any other law that protects electronic privacy, by creating a vague new authority for private entities to "monitor" any information "stored on, processed by or transiting" their information systems. (The verb "monitor", a new term in the law of electronic privacy, is circularly defined as the act of "obtain[ing], identify[ing], or otherwise possess[ing] information that is stored on, processed by, or transiting an information system." (CISA, Sec. 2(17)). This authority is redundant if read reasonably and dangerous if read unreasonably, and should be cut (CISA, Sec. 4(a)).
CISA's Liability Protections Leave Customers No Recourse If They Are Wrongly Harmed by Information Sharing: CISA absolves companies of any liability associated with sharing or monitoring of information pursuant to the Act, except for actions that constitute gross negligence (CISA, Sec. 6(b)). A good faith reliance that a company's conduct was authorized under this Act constitutes a complete defense (CISA, Sec. 6(c)). This provision would preclude causes of action for violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act as well as privacy statutes such as the Stored Communications Act and Wiretap Act portions of ECPA. CISA's liability protections should be narrowed to ensure that there is reasonable recourse for those harmed in the event that a company unnecessarily monitors or shares their personal information.
Stockpiling of Vulnerabilities and Internet Security: CISA includes a rule of construction that nothing in the bill can be interpreted to modify the authority of the Federal Government "to protect sources and methods and the security of the United States" (CISA, Sec. 8(c)). This language highlights a significant problem that was not contemplated in the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 – that the government is stockpiling vulnerabilities for its own investigative use rather than responsibly disclosing them. The government may interpret this language to authorize it to stockpile vulnerabilities discovered or purchased by the NSA that it would otherwise disclose to companies under the information sharing procedures required under this bill. These procedures, developed by the DNI, DHS Secretary, and Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of appropriate agencies, are also required to be established consistent with protection of sources and methods and national security (CSA 2012, Sec. 3(a)).
This type of stockpiling can have substantial negative consequences for Internet security, as the President's Review Group noted in its final report: "In almost all instances, for widely used code, it is in the national interest to eliminate software vulnerabilities rather than to use them for US intelligence collection.... Eliminating the vulnerabilities – 'patching' them – strengthens the security of US Government, critical infrastructure, and other computer systems."[iii] When news of the Heartbleed vulnerability broke, the Administration responded to allegations that the NSA knew about the Heartbleed vulnerability by indicating that it already has an interagency process called the "vulnerabilities equities process," which establishes when to disclose vulnerabilities.[iv] However, this process is almost completely opaque, and the Administration indicated that it had "reinvigorated" the process in response to the President's Review Group's report, suggesting that it hadn't been strongly implemented or consistently followed before the report was released.
The White House and the Intelligence Community have both stated that it is already U.S. policy to disclose vulnerabilities except in the narrowest of cases. This is a policy that the President's Review Group strongly supported, and that should be codified in any information sharing bill in order to ensure that it is followed.

Well THAT was a doozy/
I posted this post last week. I posted it, because it was real, raw, authentic, and because I'm taking on a practice around fear. Here's what a practice around fear looks like: Every time I'm scared to do something, I then have to do it.
Sometimes, when I share that with people, they say "Wow, that sounds really hard".
It isn't.
It's really simple. You feel fear, then you do it.
It only becomes hard when you put your head in between feeling fear and actually doing it. If you leave your head out of the equation, it becomes really simple. Not easy — simple.
Anyhow, I've done a bunch of scary things since I took on this practice. But that post was the hardest one for me to sit with, because it has a degree of permanence. That's not something I crafted, or made up, or that I created with an intent to provide you a lesson, or a series of ten tips you could take away ("If I don't provide them with value, they'll all leave me").
Here are some other thoughts I've had since posting it:
- What the fuck is that doing on the blog of a coaching business's website?
- What kind of value is that providing people?
- You look stupid for posting that.
- You're a whiner that is wallowing. Take that shit down.
- That sort of thing is fine for Facebook because it's transient, but here, it will stay forever.
The other scary things I did were easier to push back into the background. They were temporary. Sure, in that moment last week, I struck up a conversation with a stranger in Starbucks, but then I ended the conversation, and I can go back to being nice safe old me.
Well, here's the thing:
Fuck nice, safe, old me, and fuck nice, safe, old you.
That person is boring and safe. They aren't providing anything new, they're keeping me, and you, in the old.
When I put that post out there, I got scared, because I feared that I would have clients leave me.
And you know what? My fears came true. Clients have left me.
Here's why they left me: I'm not the coach for them.
The more I step in to my own integrity, the more that will push away people that were attracted to something different.
My job (and yours) as a leader is to create 1's and 10's. Anything in between is about living life safely. If you want to create a life that you love, you have got to be willing to risk the stuff that is safe. As long as you're hanging on to the 2's through 9's, you're not allowing space for the 10's to come through the door.
I'm not a coach that will provide you with ten tips to improve your time management, and I'm definitely not a coach that will hold your hand while you take safe steps towards your dreams.
I'm a coach for people that want to create an amazing life RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
Have you ever asked yourself "WHY AM I SITTING AROUND HERE? WHY AREN'T I STEPPING IN TO WHAT'S NEXT?" (Does the voice inside your head shout at you?) If so, then I'm your coach.
I'm not posting this sort of stuff because I want to slowly step in to the future that I could be living. I'm doing it because I'm committed to living a life that is amazing, passionate, and ridiculously authentic, RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
My people recognize that the heart of their power lies in their authenticity. They know, somewhere, that their vulnerability actually gives them the power to let go of any need to protect themselves.
If this quote resonates with you, we should be talking: "Live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world -- even if what is published is not true."
You know what was ironic? When those clients finally did say goodbye to me, it wasn't such a big deal after all. And when I go back and read that post, I realize, that's not such a big deal either.
P.S. Notice how I'm not posting photos any more? That's because it takes a bunch of time to find them, and I don't enjoy any aspect of searching for them. I'm told by people that posting photos will help me generate an audience, because it looks more interesting when a blog post gets shared on social media. I don't care about that. I don't want to gain an audience by doing something that isn't fun for me. If you like reading these posts, help me out — sign-up for our newsletter, and share our posts.

Dave Matthews brings female fans to Farm Aid
October 2nd, 2006
CAMDEN, New Jersey (Billboard) - While Farm Aid may belong more to co-founders Willie Nelson or Neil Young, it was Dave Matthews alone who filled hundreds of seats at the event's 21st annual show, held Saturday near Philadelphia.
As Matthews performed a solo, mostly acoustic set, his faithful (especially his female devotees) beamed and swayed in the aisles at the Tweeter Center in Camden, N.J., matching him word for word.
Like Young and another co-founder, John Mellencamp, Matthews played a six-song set, kicked off by the bouncy "Everyday" and featuring the solo songs "Gravedigger" and most notably, the delicate electric guitar lullaby "Some Devil."
Following performances from political reggae act Steel Pulse, polka king Jimmy Sturr and jam kingpins Gov't Mule, Matthews was one of the few to address the whole point of the show, in more than two or three words: "Every farm should be run by a family -- people who love the earth," he said, in addition to repeatedly (and jokingly) remarking, "There ain't nothing better than a good tomato."
Young took the stage in tandem with his wife Pegi, who sang backing vocals throughout and even took center stage with an acoustic guitar for a duet on "Four Strong Winds." The set also included the trumpet-lined "Field of Opportunity" and a guest appearance from Nelson on "Homegrown."
Mellencamp revisited '80s anthems like "Pink Houses" and "Rain on the Scarecrow" and rocked up "Authority Son" for an extended version that bordered on heavy metal, while Jerry LeeLewis drafted Nelson for "Jambalaya" and also played "Bright Lights, Big City," "Roll over Beethoven" and "Great Balls of Fire."
In traditional fashion, Nelson capped the evening, running through his the sing-along "City of New Orleans" (a nod to Arlo Guthrie, who was absent due to illness), "Whiskey River," "Good-Hearted Woman," and "Crazy," among others.

As long as you update the urgency and add the derby_triage10_8 label they will just naturally come off the lists. If there are no more comments by Monday, I'll take off the under construction flag and we can kick off the triage.

Maribeth Crupi
Robin Taylor
Courtney Lawler
Megan Heber
Amy Scarpa
Maribeth Crupi, PT and her staff are committed to offering both well established and emerging treatment programs that have demonstrated positive outcomes and are supported by current medical research. They are certain to fully educate their patients on the mechanism of their injury or source of their disorder. A dedication to having patients be active participants in their healing process is the cornerstone of all treatments at Maribeth Crupi Physical Therapy LLC.
As your body speaks its concerns, we will listen thoughtfully
and treat it expertly.
Maribeth Crupi has pursued specialized training in dance medicine for over a decade. This includes a full dance medicine practicum through the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries in NYC, 2006. Maribeth is an active member of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS). Her IADMS membership assures that she is developing her treatment strategies based on the most current research and clinical wisdom of dance medicine specialists from around the world. This is further enriched by the fact that members of IADMS include dancers and dance educators as well as those in the field of science. Maribeth was a presenter in the October 2015 Annual Symposium, in Pittsburgh, PA. She continues to offer lectures to both medical and dance audiences.
Maribeth's level of dance medicine knowledge and extensive repertoire of treatment techniques has further been fostered in her work with Boston Ballet. Maribeth has offered per diem physical therapy services for the professional company, including assisting with annual screening of the new professional company members. In addition Maribeth maintains regular contact with their physical therapists to seek peer review and offer or receive advice on treatment strategies.
Maribeth and her staff also offer backstage services to touring dance companies performing in the Boston area.
Maribeth appreciates dance from her background in the physics of human movement. This approach allows the dancer to achieve proper balance and weight shift using laws of gravity and principles of kinesiology to promote most efficient and proper use of muscles for dance. The emphasis is on working within the healthy limits of one's body to avoid injury and promote the best artistry.
Understanding the movement of dance is imperative to assure safest return to dance following injury, or to correct poor movement patterns/technique that may result in injury. Without strong development of the basic movements of dance such as plié, relevé, tendu, passé, etc., from which essentially all choreography arises, both injury and inability to progress in artistry result. Maribeth is emphatic that forcing turnout and working outside of one's healthy physiological limits is not only unnecessary, but likely detrimental for success in dance. In an effort to convey her knowledge to a wider audience Maribeth is currently a contributing author to a dance medicine text soon to be published. Updates on publication will be offered soon.
Maribeth offers informational lectures to area dance studios and ballet academies on a wide variety of topics ranging from pre-pointe preparation to dance technique as it relates to musculoskeletal issues, injury prevention and treatment. As the parent of a multi-discipline dancer through the collegiate level, Maribeth has spent over 20 years closely observing dance technique both in the studio and theater settings and understands implicitly the demands of dance at all levels of ability.
Maribeth combines her respect for holistic based treatments (She is a Level II Reiki Practitioner) with a solid orthopedic foundation from which she draws her treatment approaches. Maribeth's wide-ranging background in soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques also make her an excellent choice for patients with challenging diagnoses that have not responded fully to previous treatment approaches.
Maribeth is committed to keeping her skills current and expansive through her frequent attendance at professional symposiums and continuing education programs. In doing so, she has become proficient in a number of highly specialized treatment techniques. Most recently she and her staff have trained in Dry Needling therapy that has proven to be an extremely effective modality to add to their treatment skill set. While the majority of her treatment approaches are "hands on", she is equipped with all customary electrical modalities to offer full spectrum treatments. Housing an extensive library of current physical therapy and dance medicine texts, her office provides the perfect environment for patients to learn fully about their areas of need. Maribeth Crupi, PT is a recommended therapist of Children's Hospital, Boston, Division of Sports Medicine.
Maribeth and her husband Carl (who built her beautiful treatment facility) have raised three children together, the last of whom is finishing his university studies. Their daughter, Elizabeth, was the inspiration for Maribeth's journey into a dance medicine specialty when she developed and overuse problem rising en pointe. Maribeth enjoys taking advantage of all Boston and New England has to offer. She is a patron of the arts, and an avid recreational athlete who enjoys alpine skiing, hiking in the Lakes Region of NH, golf, kayaking and paddle boarding. She also enjoys sewing and a challenging game of Scrabble!
Robin Taylor, DPT, was a three sport athlete in high school and went on to play both soccer and lacrosse in college. She had a record-breaking career in lacrosse at Trinity College and earned All-American designations three years. Robin began her career in rehab in the training room as a student athletic trainer. She went on to earn her physical therapy degree at MGH Institute of Health Professions in 1999 and then her Doctor of Physical Therapy at her alma mater in 2003. Robin has a diverse physical therapy background with experience in the acute care, rehab hospital, home care and outpatient orthopedic settings. She has built on her skill set with advanced study of the spine, shoulder, and knee, as well as training in the Graston Technique, Yoga and in Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute (APPI) brand of Pilates.
Robin has taken her physical therapy knowledge and combined it with her love of health and fitness. She is trained as a Core Barre Instructor, a Tabata Bootcamp Coach and is certified through the American Council on Exercise as a personal trainer. She has found the fitness studio is a great environment to teach preventative medicine and provide early screening of musculoskeletal issues.
Outside of the clinic, Robin is a mom to three, teaches fitness classes, coaches soccer and lacrosse, competes in triathlons, road races and plays platform tennis. Robin is passionate about eating clean and being active. Whether it is seeking out adventures with her family on the slopes or paddle boarding, Robin seeks to educate others on better choices to improve wellness and maximize function.
Courtney Lawler, DPT, has had a lifelong passion for both dance and physical therapy. A native of Medford, MA, she started dancing at a young age under the direction of Donna Miceli. She was fortunate enough to continue her studies through scholarships from Gus Giordano's Jazz Dance Chicago, Jose Mateo's Ballet Theatre, and Broadway Dance Center of New York City. In 2006 Courtney graduated magna cum laude with a BFA in Dance from the University of Arizona.
Upon graduation she began her professional career as a world famous Radio City Rockette and remained with the line for six consecutive years. Courtney has also had the honor of performing with Boston's own Urbanity Dance Project, Tokyo Disneyland, Gus Giordano's Jazz Dance World Congress, and has had multiple regional theatre credits from Reagle Players.
Courtney's interest in physical therapy was sparked early in her dance career through the treatment of dance related injuries that she and fellow dancers sustained. This led her to pursue training in physical therapy, graduating magna cum laude from the University of Massachusetts Lowell with her DPT in 2015. She has had experience in the outpatient and inpatient settings and most recently completed a clinical internship in physical therapy with the Boston Ballet Company.
Outside of the clinic Courtney judges dance competitions around the country and teaches dance in and around the Boston area. During her free time she enjoys running, yoga, and spending time with her husband and new baby boy!

This included time treating at the studios as well as back stage at the Opera House.
During her time in California, Megan became the Lead Therapist at a sports-based clinic. Her patient population included pre-professional and professional athletes and dancers. In California, she was an active participant in screenings for the Dance USA Task Force on Dancer Health.
Megan's specialized experience as a dancer, gymnast, and therapist gives her valuable insight into the world of dance medicine and general orthopedics for athletes as well. She continues to develop her skills with advanced study of the shoulder, spine, and knee. She is certified in the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), therapeutic cupping, and is pursuing continued training in Australian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute (APPI) brand of Pilates. In keeping with the treatment approaches offered at MCPT LLC, Megan will also pursue training in Dry Needling.

The guys were great. Good customer service, caring and efficient. There was a LOT of confusion about the pricing. I had ordered 3 hours of work, got two hours, paid for 3. The bill presented on arrival called for two hours at a rate higher than what I was quoted for 3.I know this company is new to Hire-A-Helper, so believe this …Read Moreis just confusion due to the newness rather than anything deliberate, but still a bit disconcerting.
They were the most professional and courteous help we have ever had! They deserve a raise!!!! They worked at full tilt until the pod was loaded! Amazing team!
our helpers were professional and experienced and help make our move stress-free. We didn't have to worry about what to load first or how to pack the Pod, as they knew exactly what to do. Thank you!
They were on time. They had a dolly with a flat and no straps. They worked OK. Because they did not have a working dolly, they laid my new refrigerator on its side and dented it (stainless steel). I had just purchased it and choose not to buy the cheaper floor model with the one dent. Now my new one has three dents and I pa…Read Moreid 300 dollars more for it. I had gone to the electric department when they moved it in. They did do everything that I asked and they were nice guys. Seemed like this was new to them.
Great guys! Worked hard and took great care of all our possessions! They were very courteous and respectful and I would use them again in a skinny minute!!
They were on time, great help and good helpers. I definitely will use them again.
We couldn't have been happier with the service provided. The team arrived on time and began work immediately. They were extremely careful moving all the items and took great pains to ensure the large items were placed exactly where we wanted them located. We highly recommend their service and would use them again.
I would highly recommend this company. Joe Smith, Francisco Vazquez, and Brandon Eddins were phenomenal! They were 10 minutes early and worked effectively and efficiently. They took direction well which helped tremendously. I will definitely use there services in the future. Thank you guys for such an uneventful moving experienc…Read Moree. Two thumbs up!
These guys called in advance of showing up and were on time and very polite. They moved the items quickly and carefully. I have already recommended them to others and would definitely use them again.
Called ahead requesting to arrive early. Brought an extra person and made quick work of unloading the truck.
The movers did a good, timely job of loading the goods. The goods have not been unloaded from the POD yet so I don't if anything was damaged. BUT, when the movers arrived, the lead guy advised me that the 2 PODS would not hold all of my goods. He said I should call Hire-A-Helper for more help because they could not stay p…Read Moreast the contracted hours and limited to just loading the PODS and could not load remaining goods on their moving truck (already at my house) and deliver to a storage unit. I also talked to the Big League manager who said they were booked, but did not offer any other assistance to help locate another mover. Hire-A-Helper did not help me any either. I will NOT use them ever again! I did contact another moving company on my own who worked to "squeeze" my needed move into their schedule. I DO plan to use them again.
Thank you to Parker, Anthony & Quincy from BIG LEAGUE MOVERS! You guys were great! Parker deserves a promotion! He ran the show with excellent communication skills, constant hard work & respect for my wishes. He is a wonderful asset to BIG LEAGUE MOVERS. I would use your company again & recommend it to my friends.
Please update your training program for loading of furniture and household goods. Had more than 20 blankets from u-haul to protect -- most were rubbed free of stain and finish, broken small pieces from bookcase corners, loaded boxes unevenly. Had own load bars, thank goodness, but please train your young people and have them w…Read Moreear back braces.
Very professional, friendly and did a great job!
The 2 guys they sent out were excellent. Very courteous and hard working. Treated all my stuff like it was gold. I have nothing negative to say about them.
They were on time They were prepared for the job Worked Hard Very respectful of property and goods I will use them again
they were prompt, careful, quick and friendly. they had everything moved extremely fast .
Guys were nice and polite but didn't seem to know how to pack and load a PODS unit. I had to unload several things they loaded to make room for boxes because they did not make adequate use of the space they were given. They left tons of empty space between furniture where boxes or other items could have been placed. PODS rep eve…Read Moren said it wasn't a good loading job.
The guys were very nice and professional. Nothing against them. The problem was with the company Pack-Rat....didn't provide me correct information about the container so I paid for 2 guys for 3 hours from Hire A Helper that really didn't provide a service. They stood around with me while I tried to figure out how to get my fu…Read Morerniture, etc out of my house.
Load team was courteous, timely and professional. Very well done!
We had two packers David & Mike on oct 4 and the two of them plus one other guy (forget his name) oct 5 to help load. We were moving my parents from my childhood home and theirs of 40 yrs. It was very emotional for all of us but those 3 young men made it so much easier. They were very professional and organized but caring and co…Read Morempassionate. I didn't think it would all fit but they reassured me it would over & over again and it did!! Great job Mike!! I would highly recommend them and Big league movers! Thank you and God Bless!!
The 2 yg men David & Mike, that Big League sent were very considerate and professional. It was an emotionally hard move for my parents & me but they made it easier. Thanks and god Bless!!
I hired two movers for two hours. The movers came and completed the job on time with time to spare. They were pleasant to work with and very helpful. I will definitely use them for my next move.
The 2 people from Big League Movers turned up on time and were ready to go. They were respectful, eager and energetic and joked and laughed all through the job, which doing an excellent job, and never stopped working the entire time. They always checked in before loading/packing anything they were not sure about, and then …Read Moredid exacty as they said they would. I would have no hesitation in recommending or using these guys again - they were a pleasure to do business with Mark Rieniets
The movers did a really thorough job packing all our stuff into a smaller size truck. They did, however, stuff a box labeled "Electronics, FRAGILE" into a space too small for the box. Luckily nothing was damaged except the box as it was covered with sufficient packing material, but these fragile items could have been damaged by …Read Morebeing stuffed into too small of a space on the truck.
Showed up on time and did a good job packing all my stuff into the truck and completed the job in under 2 hours. I would use again.
Great team. Good work and very efficient. Professional team from confirmation to payment.
nice job! professional, excellent communication skills, kept me updated... LOVED Them! will definently use them again!
The movers were very professional and loaded the truck in a timely manner. It was a relief to have professionals that knew how to load a truck without any damage to furniture. I would use them again!
These guys were AWESOME!!!! They packed the truck to perfectioin. Nothing was damaged, and they worked quickly to load and unload everything. They did a great job!!!! I would highly recommend them.
Excellent Service!! Guys were on time, polite and very patient while everything was sorted to go into the POD. Thanks for the good job!
The movers were extremely helpful and efficient
Great job. Very careful with my stuff and the young men that came were very courteous and efficient. It had rained the night before and was quite muddy out and the guys were especially careful about making sure no mud was dragged in by their dollies or their shoes.
We used BL Movers and we couldn't have been move pleased. They were on time, Actually early). They were very professional and curtious. I would highly recommend BL Movers to anyone who requires help in moving their valuable goods Ang & Rob
Excellent help. Courteous and sensitive to personal needs during the move. Never had to prod for labor to be busy. They took care with fragile items, and were very friendly and outgoing. I highly recommend these guys for your move.
