text: Let me be up-front. I'm not complaining about rules, just trying to clarify them. To post in the for-sale sections the rules state you need 85 posts. I understand why and support such a rule. However, the "Want to buy section" says I only need 50 posts to post in there. Now that I have over 50 posts (I've been slowly accumulating posts for 2 months now because I want to play by the rules) I went to post a want-to-buy and it still won't let me post. Is the rule 85 posts for all sections and the stickied rules post at the top just didn't get updated? Or is there something wrong?

The Anglican Parish of the Church of the Epiphany made its seventh annual presentation of its Epiphany Pilgrim medallion on Thanksgiving Sunday. This is given to five members of the congregation each year for their mission and ministry at Epiphany and in other places and parishes.
This year Shawkat Shammas was one of the five recipients. Shawkat (from Iraq) has hosted rosary at Epiphany in Aramaic, three times a week, since a group of Chaldean and other Arab-speaking Christians first joined Epiphany in 2014. Other recipients included, Perlita Vanderhout (originally from the Philippines) a long time server and lay administrator of communion. The medallion was also presented to Elizabeth Gilchrist (Music Director for over ten years), Noden Parr and Elaine Reay (who was away on Sunday).
As we give thanks to God for the bounty of creation at Thanksgiving Epiphany also takes this opportunity to thank those who have served the parish in many and varied ways over the years.

Virago published an edition of The
Daisy Chain in 1988 in their Virago modern classics series.
The Virago edition ISBN 0860688798
The Daisy Chain and other views of dirt and drudgery in the nineteenth century
Charlotte Yonge, one of the most prolific and popular of Victorian novelists, wrote a number of "slice of life" novels. The most famous of these is The Daisy Chain a novel about the large, motherless May family.
Julian Crowe's selection of on-line extracts form part of his growing collection of texts on the theme of the relationship between the middle-class and the respectable and unrespectable poor in the nineteenth century. His Daisy Chain extracts describe the attempts of the May children, in particular Ethel May, to help, educate and christianise a community of quarry workers a few miles outside town.
The Novelist's Purpose
Jacqueline Banerjee, Department of English, Kobe College, Nishinomiya, JapanFor a commentary on death in childhood, including comments on The Daisy Chain, see the second page of The Novelist's Purpose on The Victorian Web.
(This material is excerpted with permission of the publisher from Chapter 4 of Through the Northern Gate: Childhood and Growing Up in British Fiction, 1719-1901, by Jacqueline Banerjee [New York: Peter Lang, 1996].
Charlotte Yonge's own Preface to The Daisy Chain
No one can be more sensible than is the Author that the present is an overgrown book of a nondescript class, neither the "tale" for the young, nor the novel for their elders, but a mixture of both.
Begun as a series of conversational sketches, the story outran both the original intention and the limits of the periodical in which it was commenced; and, such as it has become, it is here presented to those who have already made acquaintance with the May family, and may be willing to see more of them. It would beg to be considered merely as what it calls itself, a Family Chronicle - a domestic record of home events, large and small, dining those years of early life when the character is chiefly formed, and as an endeavour to trace the effects of those aspirations which are a part of every youthful nature. That the young should take one hint, to think whether their hopes and upward-breathings are truly upwards, and founded in lowliness, may be called the moral of the tale.
For those who may deem the story too long, and the characters too numerous, the Author can only beg their pardon for any tedium that they may have undergone before giving it up.
Feb. 22nd, 1856

As part of our "assignment" for this week, we were offered several movies to watch that all had important themes of persistence and how they relate to what we refer to as DMO (Definite Major Purpose), PMA (Positive Mental Attitude), POA (Plan Of Action), and MMA (Master Mind Alliance).
I watched all the suggested movies, and each one was remarkable and inspiring. Some I watched alone, and the ones that were age-appropriate I watched with my daughter who is 11. Her favorite was Cool Runnings, which I greatly enjoyed too.
However I decided to write about the movie "Door to Door". I found this movie very touching and moving in a very simple way. The character was not exactly heroic and had character flaws relating to his disability and history. It was very difficult for Bill, the main character, to accept help or even love from people around him other than his mother. And yet, he inspires love and respect from those around him.
It is the true story of Bill Porter, a Portland OR. man with cerebral palsy who overcomes all odds and doubts to become a successful and respected salesman. He wanted to work, to be self-sufficient to the degree that nothing was going to stop him. His mother always cultivated a positive mental attitude with him, and I had to smile when he opened his sandwich his mother sent with him with "patience" and "persistence" written on each side.
His plan of action was essentially to persist until everyone became so accustomed to him that even those who said they would never buy anything from him did. People became attached to him and felt a loss when he first tried to retire. He was always cheerful and never seemed to let refusals get him down. It was very touching to discover that a lonely woman had been buying stuff from him for years just to get him to keep visiting her.
The two greatest masterminds in the story were between Bill and his mother, and he and his assistant Shelley. These were two women who completely gave him encouragement and emotional support, and demonstrated their strong faith in him. This story presented a clear picture of a man who, against all odds, followed his DMP, maintained a PMA, never faltered in executing his POA, and was able to get where he did with the help of his mastermind partners. If Bill Porter can do it, so can I!

Grill Bounce
Welcome to Roll Bounce. It's no secret that I love this movie, and guess what? It loves us back, baby. That's right. Maybe my love for it stems from the countless hours I spent in my local roller rink growing up. Or maybe it's the multitude of grills strewn across this film. If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on both!
This (master)piece takes place in the 70s, so it's time to throw on some bell-bottoms and strap on your skates, you dig?
Say Hello to Xavier "X" Smith, played by my man Gril' Bow Wow.
X loves to skate. It's a good thing, too, because there is going to be a lot of skating in this movie.
Now it's time to meet the rest of the crew:
Clown town town. Get used to these 5-for-the-price-of-1 grills.
Oh no, X, you're late- the streetlights just came on! RUUUNNN!!!
Getting home late. Again. (By the way, that's a wig in his hand. Just sayin'.)
Better go to bed early so you can wake up in time to take out the garbage, X.
Man, wouldn't it be awesome if Charlie Murphy was your garbage man, and he yelled at you every morning?
And if his garbage man friend was Mike Epps?
And they both just yelled at you in the morning?
And if you all stood there and checked out your hott neighbor? Duncan Hines!!
And then they just yelled at you?
And they kicked your garbage cans around, and they yelled at you in the morning?
And then they yelled- alright, alright. Well, how about if the neighborhood kids gave you nothing but guff while you were trying to do your job? (Don't miss the one cat's Fonzie shirt. I NEED that.)
You'd give 'em the one fingered salute and the tongue, that's what!
Just don't forget to keep your eyes open while you're crafting that sweet grill, lest it become even sweeter.
No comment.
The first of many Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmn's.
Now, the Southside Boys' favorite rink is getting closed down, so they decide to go check out the rink in Sweetwater.
"Hi, I'm Nick Cannon."
"Nick Cannon is hilarious!"
"Yeah, that's right."
This is where X runs into a girl he used to know when he was… even younger. And now she's hott!
Now don't forget about our boy Alpa Chino. He's Bow Wow's second in command when it comes to grillin'.
Now we're introduced to the Sweetwater gang- er, crew.
Meet Roy…. I'm not sure what his deal is, but he does not like X or his Southside Boys. "FTUGFRUOAOGH!!!!!!" … What?
"Mm-Mmm. Nope."
So Sweetness (X's soon-to-be arch nemesis) just waltzed in and threw his nasty sweat-rag on the ground. It was subsequently snatched up by this amateur grillsmith.
"Yo that's nazty!"
That's sweetness, hard left. Look at the range of that clap. I took a capture at zero (hands closed) and another at 100 (full extension). On the biggest clap. What is that, 1 centimeter? Way to be.
"I'm gonna need freak-out control."
Now that's just ridiculous. He's got a bit of the Pat Benatar shakes going on there too.
"I live with my Daaaad."
Like father like son, sons. Meet Chi McBride. He is what you would call a professional grillsmith.
Night tongue.
Some more Cannon, thrown in for good measure.
All this kid wants is a pair of skates that fit. "Size NINE!!!"
But then Canon informs him that girls like a dude with a big… skate.
"Let's segue back to my Daaaad."
Here he starts to get told by Duncan Hines, but then he turns it around. He tells her, and then she leaves.
Back to Sweetwater!
Zombie-face Sweetness will haunt your dreams.
He's so zombie he even haunts himself.
Back to dad, yakkin' in the sink.
So smooth!
Dad goes off to a grown up party, where they serve hard liquor and even harder grillz.
Murphy's got his eyes on the prize!
Who invited these guys, anyway?
"Ok, everybody! Let's get together and have a training montage!"
"Training montage?! RUN!!!"
"I HATE training montages." Yikes.
"Come on, man. Where's this training montage I keep hearing so much about?"
Oh, here it is!
What is with everyone sticking their tongue out in this movie?!
Ok, dad's angry. Let's check in on Mr. Cannon.
Lookin' good. How about we swing by the used car lot? "Scuse me boys- I smell money!" (He actually says this.)
Dad applies for a job as a janitor. He's overqualified.
Dad mocking son.
Son mocking dad.
Son mocking dad.
Son mo- WHOA!!!
Son going ape wild.
Son doin' work on dad's car.
Garbage friends: exit stage right.
Bye guys!!
X has to let hott Naomi know how he feels. With his tongue.
That's quite a proud and confident grill right there. A little brazen, even.
Whoa, what's happening? Scorn time?!
Here's what all the fuss is about:
Wow Bow isn't too sure about that.
Dad appreciates it.
"Ok, time to get serious, the skate competition is coming up! Remember, we didn't train at all for this, except for that silly dancing montage earlier. Uh, X, what are you doing?"
Wait, Wayne Brady is in this?
Oh, come on, Dad. He isn't that bad.
Oh no he didn't! Sweetness just started skating to their song!
Sweetness sweeps the ladies off their feet with his zombie-like charm.
My man's lookin' straight up dead. Corpse-face. "Abra-cadaver!"
Naps (take it easy, that's the character's name) just thought of a perfect backup song!
"Remember, we hardly practiced with our original pick. We pretty much just goofed off for the whole movie." Tongue!
"Beat my creepy dead-body skating, kids! Also, did I just get back from a 1970's Taco Bell?"
"They had Taco Bell in the 70's?"
"Wooooo! We nailed it! No rehearsal, yet our choreography was spot on!"
"I want that!!!"
Here's where a little bit-o-bromance sneaks in, for the kids:
Ok, now Sweetness is a little TO'd, because Wayne Brady called a tie. But Sweetness doesn't tie, he wins.
Now things are getting heated- Wow Wow doesn't care anyway, just give him half the prize money yadda yadda yadda…
Background bromance. Roy's a sneaky guy.
Bow Bow says something about spanking Sweetness in a 1 on 1 skate-off.
Then Sweetness says something like, "You couldn't spank me if your hand was glued to my azzzzz."
"Whaaaaaaat?! Sweetness, that sounds a little…. sweet."
This keen observation elicits the one and only grill from hott Naomi (Meagan Good).
Then, the battle begins…. huh?
Oh! They're having a grill-off! I thought it was a skate-off. Silly me…
What is happening?!
It's a celebration!
"Well, the boy still has to learn a thing or two about grillsmithery, but that wasn't bad. Wasn't bad at all."
Goodnight, folks.
It's been real.

Murphy is amazing in this. He really shines when his character is the hard-hitting instigator. Love that chew and pause gif. That's classic. Classically modern. Those other gifs are straight up poor man's stereoscopic 3D. Cat on the bus and Roy's head turn.
I really need to watch this. I think I've seen it before but I can't remember the level of grill humor, which must mean I've only seen part. In any case, this post has been an inspiration. True, it is packed, but not lacking in quality. Well curated grills. Good effort. Nice hustle.
Comment by Matt — 2010.07.07 #
Oh BABY!! A true epic finally comes to fruition. I know I basically asked you to grill this one, but I'm glad to see that I was right about you being the chosen one.
First off, its been so long since I've seen this that I forgot that Spanish was in this. That dude isn't in enough movies. I think Bow Wow has proven himself to be a more than capable grillsmith, as someone you can hang the weight of a post on. He's not quite in Diesel or Schwarzeneggar territory, but pound for pound he holds up well. The subtle bromance between Charlie Murphy and Mike Epps is in full effect, and I can't get enough of Epps kicking the trashcan. The lack of inbetween frames is what makes the gif, from neutral to full extension in one frame (no bromo). The gifs in general are fantastic. Then of course that brings us to Nick Cannon, who may have actually put more into this performance than any other. The poor man's Hendrix with an unhealthy obsession for the big skates is great. Unfortunately its also his ceiling. Roy serves two purposes; 1.making sure Sweetness' crew had all the ethnic groups covered, and 2. To drop crazy grills 2-3 frames apart from one another. Can't get enough of Sweetness' baby clap. The dancing gif about halfway through looks like the future version of the Zoolander gif that everyone puts different heads on. It also looks like they shot it on green screen, which makes it better. I think in honor of this mega (probably shoulda been multiple posts) post, I"ll have to throw a "To be continued"….

Maria Niro
Video/Sound Maria Niro & Richard Broomhall 2011
Maria's turn and the third word is F O O D. I was blown away by the outcome of this. Richard thinks we are getting more clever - I know I am - I took some of his clips from BIRD and placed them in here ;). Both of us weaved in elements of the first words, BIRD and DISRUPT, and there seems to be a continuity of the sociopolitical running through them all as things progress. I can't wait for the next one:
S U R F A C E - Richard's word!
An online installation collaboration between Richard Broomhall and Maria Niro.
WORDS is an evolving moving image collaboration, exploring language, cultural context, chance and the nature of online artistic relationships. Entirely remote from one another, the two artists investigate the power of synchronicity in art. The artists never met in person, never seen the others face or heard the others voice.
Each artist takes a turn in proposing a word. Then they are to create a two minute video with original sound interpreting the proposed word. The work has to be shot in each artist's lived environment and be a response to said environment. All images and audio must be original. There is no discussion of content or production techniques or direction. Neither watched the others work until both were finished. The videos are then composited as a diptych, with no tweaking to adjust synchronization, and is then uploaded to the internet and available for viewing world wide. The collaboration continues, each Artist both client and creator, remotely communicating only through email, video and sound - neither planning past the next word. They don't know where the project will go or how it will end only that it is a work in progress, and unlike a hollywood film, it may not have an end and could go on for years.
Maria is based in New York, USA and Richard is based in Bristol, UK. They don't know where the project will go or how it will end but ask you to accompany them in finding out by checking back regularly and giving your feedback.

Smoke this small cigar too quickly and you may just miss the point. Very flavourful, especially when aged, so a small amount of patience is required to keep the flame cool and then you'll be rewarded with a large bundle of flavour in a little stick of dynamite. Expect to taste lots of woody flavours with a hint of spice. Try this cigar any time of the day paired with a cup of coffee.

We were so worry about new place for my son who is ten. But the kind staffs and teachers help us to adjust him after immigrating from so different country to the US.Submitted by a parent
October 23, 2013
this school has the secretary with the worst customer service ever! If you show up to pick up your child she doesn't look up from her computer and won't give you the time of day. They get a new principal often and head lice runs the school. My child came home and told me her milk was lumpy! One year that is all we gave it. Entered as a hopeful family left very disappointed. My sons had a wonderful experience at his old school and was often coming home with awards or I would get an email praising him being a caring child. This teacher had a 2/3 class she didn't know he was a 3rd grader until a month in when he asked why he was repeating 2nd grade. She also had the kids pull petals off their friends goof behavior flowers as a quiet way to let them know they were bothering them. Often when my son would show up to school his petals would already be torn off. When he told her he didn't like the petals and that the other kids at the table were doing this she told him to sit down and deal with it. Ugh! Trying to take the high road I offered to volunteer in the class and was told I wasn't needed. What a horrible year! FYI The booster club didn't seem to like outsiders.Submitted by a parent

If your primary concern is to place your child in a safe nurturing environment then WUE is an excellent school. There is strong emphasis in teaching good behavior and fantastic community support. The school has an excellent music room, library & PE experience. If you're looking for an academic challenge I'd recommend looking around. The TAG coordinator believes advanced/gifted students should receive a standard curriculum. "We find that if advanced students are given a standard curriculum that the rest of the students catch up in a few years." As a parent of a kid who performs 3-4 grade levels above age in reading and math this is maddening. Of course if your plan is to not teach my kid for three years then, yes, everyone will catch up.Submitted by a parent

December 18, 2008
My child has attended this school for 5 years, and the nurturing, creative environment along with exceptional, caring teachers have made this a wonderful fit for our family. With the opening of another district school last year, the enrollment has adjusted downward to its previous lower numbers. Teacher/student ratios are still as high as other district schools, but the school community makes the most of its resources. There are many teachers at West Union who have been at the school for 10+ years.Submitted by a parent

I was nervous sending my daughter to a public school. Prior to this year, she had attended private non-parocial school. West Union's teacher was master's prepared. I scheduled a private meeting with her, and she was great! The school has been wonderful. My only concern is the large number of students per teacher ratio. So far, that hasn't presented a problemSubmitted by a parent

My daughter just started here as a Kindergartener. I don't know much about the school, other than it seems just fine. The teacher seems very dedicated and there is a real emphasis on creating a safe and supportive atmosphere. The only complaints I've heard are that the school building is old and in need of replacing (by parents) and (from my daughter) that she dislkes the kindergarten schedule. It is very sporadic as there is no K-bus to save over a million dollars a year in gas, so she goes full days W-F and alternate Mondays. Sporadic schedule is hard for my little one. They need regularity to feel really part of something. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but she complains so much about it, I'm afraid I made a mistake.Submitted by a parent

Both my children have attended this school and it is great school with high parent involvement and excellent teaching staff. The EC activities are not that important to us as we are looking to provide that outside of school, the education was quite good though.Submitted by a parent
February 1, 2005
The classrooms have too many kids in them, the teachers are spending more time trying to discipline the children than teaching them. Neither of my children are getting the skills they need, they don't get the help they want and the teachers are just too busy getting children to behave. I have had to quit my job and spend more time teaching them at home to keep them up with other peers outside of this school since we've moved here.Submitted by a parent
August 13, 2004
We had the best experience at this school. The teachers were not only knew what they were teaching, but they understood how different students learn. Also, they kept on top of problems between students, and took students feeling threatened seriously. I wish my own grade school had been as wonderful as my child's was. They really made school a safe place, and made my kids excited to learn. When we moved at the end of the school year, we applied to have the kids finish the school year here. It was worth it to take the extra trip to get them to and from school, so they could continue. Luckily the work schedule flexed for it.Submitted by a parent

Online Harassment and Content Moderation: The Case of BlocklistsOnline harassment is a multi-faceted problem with no easy solutions. Social Media platforms are squeezed between charges of indifference to harassment and suppression of free speech. CSMR faculty participated in research into the challenge of designing technical features and seeding social practices that promote constructive discussion and discourage abusive behavior.
Shagun Jhaver, Georgia Institute of Technology Sucheta Ghoshal, Georgia Institute of Technology Amy Bruckman, Georgia Institute of Technology Eric Gilbert, John Derby Evans Associate Professor, University of Michigan School of Information Online harassment is a complex and growing problem. On Twitter, one mechanism people use to avoid harassment is the blocklist, a list of accounts that are preemptively blocked from interacting with a subscriber. In this paper, we present a rich description of Twitter blocklists - why they are needed, how they work, and their strengths and weaknesses in practice. Next, we use blocklists to interrogate online harassment - the forms it takes, as well as tactics used by harassers. Specifically, we interviewed both people who use blocklists to protect themselves, and people who are blocked by blocklists. We nd that users are not adequately protected from harassment, and at the same time, many people feel they are blocked unnecessarily and unfairly. Moreover, we nd that not all users agree on what constitutes harassment. Based on our findings, we propose design interventions for social network sites with the aim of protecting people from harassment, while preserving freedom of speech.

AssurAnt Inc. says it is looking
for buyers for its health insurance
and employee benefits units.
One way or another, Assurantwants to get out of the healthinsurance market by 2016,the company said inlate April.
The company asa whole reportedabout $40 millionto $50 million in netoperating income for the quarter.
The benefits unit has been doing
about as well as the other units, but
the Assurant Health unit reported
about $80 million to $90 million in
net operating losses.
About half of that loss is theresult of a reduction in expectedrecoveries from the three PatientProtection and Affordable CareAct risk-management programs,and about half reflects high claimson PPACA-compliant policies inforce during the first quarter, thecompany said.
Whether Assurant can sell
Assurant Health or not, it will begin
the process of leaving the health
insurance market this year, and
will not participate in the open
enrollment period for 2016.
"The company's exit will be
substantially complete in 2016,"
Assurant said.
Instead, the company will
focus on its mortgage insurance
and personal property protection
insurance businesses.
Assurant President Alan
Colberg said the company
has decided to sell the health
and benefits units because it
does not believe the units can
increase returns as quickly as the
company requires.

"The company'sexit will besubstantiallycomplete in 2016."
the number of
U.S. workers who self-describe as overweight
is increasing, and more
employees blame at
least part of their girth
expansion on their jobs.
A CareerBuilder
annual survey on
employee weight, which
got input from more than
3,000 workers, foundthat 57 percent of thosesurveyed said they wereoverweight. That's upfrom 55 percent last year,despite the massive mediaattention that's been paidto the subject.
Further, 42 percent
said they've put on the
pounds on their current
job, compared to 39
percent the previous year.
And more than one in fivereported gaining morethan 10 pounds in the lastyear. Only 16 percent saidthey'd lost weight.
Many cited the stress
of the job as triggering
overeating and other bad
habits that can lead to
greater girth.
"Meaning, workers
with extremely high
on-the-job stress are 49
percent more likely to say
they're overweight than
workers with extremely
low stress," CareerBuilder
"The health of acompany's workforce is aparamount issue for manyemployers, as neglectingit can significantlydampen workplacemorale and productivity,"said Rosemary Haefner,chief human resourcesofficer at CareerBuilder."There's a clear incentiveto make wellness andwork-life balance a focusof organizational culture,and we're encouragedto see many companiesmaking them a priorityyear-after-year."

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hands on hips. Brace your core—imagine you're about to get punched in the stomach. Without changing the position of your knees, bend at your hips and lower your torso until it's almost parallel to the floor (or as far as you can comfortably go without rounding your back). Pause, then lift your torso back to the starting position. Be sure to squeeze your glutes and push your hips forward to lift your torso back to the starting position. This ensures you're engaging your hip muscles instead of relying on your lower back. Do 10 reps total.
Sometimes pain on the side of the hip is a result of bursitis. A weak abductor muscle, a leg length discrepancy, overuse, and an underlying early degenerating hip joint can cause bursitis. At times, the origin cannot be determined. Symptoms include pain on the side of the hip with prolonged walking, side lying in bed or when rising from a chair or similar types of movement.
Piriformis syndrome is not considered a serious injury—so RICE is in order for pain caused by triggers, like sitting too long. RICE is Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Also, see a primary care doctor or neurologist (nerve specialist), who can recommend physical therapy exercises and exercises for hip pain and other specific types of pain that will help you feel better. Also, a physican therapist can suggest ways exercises that provide pinched nerve relief, as nerve pain relief is what is primarily needed here.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that specifically affects the spine. Ankylosing spondylitis causes a severe inflammation of the spinal vertebra that can cause debilitating pain throughout the back region. This condition can cause stiffness and pain not only in the spine but also inflammation, pain and stiffness in the ribs, shoulders, ribcage, hands, and feet as well. Symptoms include a dull pain in the lower back and buttocks, stiffness and lack of mobility in the hips, back, and legs, loss of appetite, fever, and general malaise. Treatment includes physical therapy, medication, hot and cold therapy, and exercises that reinforce good posture practices.
• Sciatica. This is inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The largest nerve in the human body, the sciatic nerve runs from the lower part of the spinal cord, through the buttock and down the back of the leg to the foot. The most common causes of sciatica include compression of the nerve where it exists the spine by a herniated disc, or a rupture of one of the structures that cushions the vertebrae in the spine. Sciatica may be felt as a sharp or burning pain that radiates from the hip. It may also be accompanied by low back pain.
Don't medically investigate back pain until it's met at least three criteria: (1) it's been bothering you for more than about 6 weeks; (2) it's severe and/or not improving, or actually getting worse; and (3) there's at least one other "red flag" (age over 55 or under 20, painful to light tapping, fever/malaise, weight loss, slow urination, incontinence, groin numbness, a dragging toe, or symptoms in both legs like numbness and/or tingling and/or weakness).
The condition is cauda equina syndrome. It involves "acute loss of function of the neurologic elements (nerve roots) of the spinal canal below the termination (conus) of the spinal cord," where the nerves spread out like a horse (equina) tail. Again, this condition causes symptoms in the "saddle" of the body: butt, groin, inner thighs. BACK TO TEXT
The best thing about this stretch is that you can easily adjust where you feel it simply by changing the position of your foot. First, try bringing your foot inward (effectively externally rotating your hip), and repeat the same sequence of instructions. Then, do the same with turning your foot out (internally rotating the hip). Wherever you feel the biggest stretch is likely the version you should be doing more of.
Line up your hips parallel to each other, continually pressing the left hip toward the floor. If this position is too difficult, place a blanket under your bottom. To intensify the stretch, move the right foot away from the left side of your body and drop to the elbows or chest. To make this pose less intense, move the right foot closer to your right leg and stay on the hands instead of folding.
How to: Start feet hip-width apart, with your arms straight out in front of you. Step one foot back on a diagonal, feet flat. Once your foot reaches the floor, lower into a shallow lunge. Keep your knee bent and butt back, twist your pelvis, and rotate your arms back behind your body until they frame the knee. Return to starting position. That's one rep. Do eight reps on each side. Do three to four sets before moving on to the next move, resting for 30 seconds in between each set.
If your sciatica is due to a herniated disk, and it's still causing severe pain after four to six weeks, surgery may be an option. The surgeon will remove a portion of the herniated disk to relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve. About 90% of patients get relief from this type of surgery. Other surgical procedures can relieve sciatica caused by spinal stenosis.
Your doctor may order imaging tests, such as an MRI, to get more information about the location and cause of the irritated nerve. An MRI can show the alignment of vertebral disks, ligaments, and muscles. A CT scan using contrast dye can also provide a useful picture of the spinal cord and nerves. Determining the cause of sciatica can help guide the course of treatment. X-rays can help identify bony abnormalities but can't detect nerve problems.
Wow this is going to help me a ton! I was just thinking about how I wanted to work on my hips when I was on a 9 mile heavy pack hike yesterday. Even more so when I was done and one of my hips was/is pretty sore. Hips keep us together! Like for real they connect out lower and upper body lol. Need to make sure they are strong, mobile, and flexible which is all something I never really put any effort into improving. I figured my activities like Mountain Biking, Hiking, Climbing, Skiing, and doing squats/lunges along with other exercises would keep them strong. Then I come to find out I only was able to get through 2 rounds… This will now be apart of my training program 🙂 Thanks for the great video! Yes simple but yet it can kick your butt if you are doing proper form ad John Wolf stresses.
You've heard the saying: it's all in the hips, but for many of us, our hips – or more precisely, our hip flexors – are tight, stiff and inflexible. If you're an office worker you can probably thank sitting down at your desk 8 or more hours a day for your tight hip flexors. Habitual sitting causes your hip flexors to tighten and shorten – adjustable standing desks, anyone?
• Gout. Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when excess uric acid, a bodily waste product circulating in the bloodstream, is deposited as needle-shaped monosodium urate crystals in tissues of the body, including the joints. For many people, the first symptom of gout is excruciating pain and swelling in the big toe – often following a trauma, such as an illness or injury. Subsequent attacks may occur off and on in other joints, primarily those of the foot and knee. Less commonly gout can affect the spine, causing extreme pain, numbness and tingling. It can be confused with a spinal infection.
Often people go to the doctor seeking help for hip pain. Sometimes, people try to treat it themselves. They are convinced there is something wrong with their hip and the treatments begin. However, one thing is for sure, hip pain is not always as it appears. Hip pain can be a result of a problem in the hip joint itself. However, it can also be a result of a back problem or a soft tissue problem around the hip region.
If your hips are killing you, you probably spend a lot of time sitting—in the car, at work, on that SoulCycle seat—which puts your hips in near-constant "flexion", says Cori Lefkowith, NASM-certified personal trainer and owner of Redefining Strength in Orange County, California. Even running involves a repetitive flexion movement that can cause pain.
If most inner-thigh openers feel too easy (and your ankles and knees are injury-free), try Frog Pose. Get down on all fours, with palms on the floor and your knees on blankets or a mat (roll your mat lengthwise, like a tortilla, and place it under your knees for more comfort). Slowly widen your knees until you feel a comfortable stretch in your inner thighs, keeping the inside of each calf and foot in contact with the floor. Make sure to keep your ankles in line with your knees. Lower down to your forearms. Stay here for at least 30 seconds.
To complete this stretch, get into the same kneeling position from the half kneeling hip flexor stretch. Whichever leg you have raised, place that hand on your hip. (So, if you're doing this exercise with your right leg, place your right hand on your right hip, and vice versa.) Next, tighten your glute muscles, and reach around your body with your free hand to grab that foot. Pull that foot upwards towards your upper body
Mononeuropathies can affect nerves in the legs, arms, or other parts of the body. Mononeuropathy means a single nerve or nerve group has been damaged, for example, by a lesion that has developed along a nerve or group of nerves. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a good example of a mononeuropathy, in this case, affecting the wrist area. With mononeuropathy symptoms may be sudden (acute) or may develop slowly (chronic). Some of the more common mononeuropathies are
I think you should mention that for some people, stretching is not the solution and that it will deteriorate their posture. Some people need stretching, but most people I know need to strengthen their "overstretched" hip flexors. Many people can't do a single hanging leg raise. Check this site if you want to know more about the importance of hip flexors bit.ly/Unlock_Your_Hip_Flexor Report
Great exercises and stretches that can be easily done throughout the day to strengthen and loosen my hip flexors. i have very tight hip flexors so it's very helpful for me knowing these exercises and stretches. For those that want more info about exercises and stretches for hip flexors, i recommend the "unlock your hip flexors". It is a program that will show you many more exercises and stretches you can do. So check it out here
Meanwhile, many non-dangerous problems can cause amazingly severe back pain. A muscle cramp is a good analogy — just think about how painful a Charley horse is! Regardless of what's actually going on in there, muscle pain is probably the main thing that back pain patients are feeling. The phenomenon of trigger points — tiny muscle cramps, basically11 — could be the entire problem, or a complication that's more painful and persistent than the original problem. It's hard to overstate how painful trigger points can be, but they are not dangerous to anything but your comfort.
"As a result, they're at greater risk of injury," says physical therapist Ioonna Félix, clinical supervisor at the Hospital for Special Surgery's Sports Rehabilitation and Performance Center in New York City. Many times, those injuries manifest themselves in ways that seem entirely separate from your hips, like IT band issues, low-back pain, or plantar fasciitis.
This pose is similar to seated forward fold, and provides the same benefits. It also stretches your groin. Assume the same starting position as the forward fold, but slide the sole of your left foot against your right inner thigh. Keeping your right foot flexed, lower your left knee as far as you can into a half-butterfly position. Walk your hands down the sides of your right leg as you fold forward as far as you can with your torso. Hold for 8-10 breaths, and then slowly rise back up. Switch legs and repeat.
Because you won't stop stretching them. Many people who have consistent hip flexor tightness would be a lot better off if they just stopped stretching them. This often provides only a temporary relief, giving just a small window of comfort. And guess what? The more you stretch them, the shorter that window of relief becomes, until you're at the point where you're stretching them multiple times a day for a long duration just to feel good! That's no way to live!

The Jonas Brothers Leads To Some Crazy One Direction Memes
What's better than one Jonas singing? To see three Jonas singing together! Yep, last week the Jonas brothers: Nick, Kevin and Joe reunited sending a wave of joy amongst their fans. Just a day after the trio announced their reunion, they released their new single, Sucker. While the song made their fans go 'woo', it also made the followers of the now-dissolved band, One Direction (Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne) cry for their reunion. But apart from this, it also led to a string of memes on social media. Here's a look at some.

Good day, doctor. I am Irfany, 32 years-old. I"ve checked in 3 hospitals. First, my complaint is left chest pain and sudden weakness. In the first hospital, I checked with the ECG and the doctor said I was suffering from coronary heart disease. I moved to another hospital because I can use my health insurance at there. After checked with ECG, echocardiography and treadmill tests, doctor only diagnoses chest pain. I also check to another hospital and examined by ECG again. The result is not the same as the results in the first and second hospital. The doctor says I do not have any disease. However, I still often feel chest pain, sudden weakness, heaviness in the right shoulder and left. These symptoms have occurred during these two months. Is it heart disease? please advise and answers so that I can calm down. thank you
September 03, 2013
By Irfany Ibrahim
Dear Mr. Irfany
In addressing the case of chest pain, not all cases of chest pain caused by heart because complaints of chest pain itself can be caused by lung problems called the pleura pain, digestive problems called GERD, psychological problems called dacosta syndrome, musculoskeletal pain problems, and still much more.
In the description you give, the exact cause can not be predicted. A full interview and a thorough physical examination is needed to find the cause of the chest pain. To that end, we strongly advise you to consult with internist to explore the problems you are experiencing.
Thank you,
Birry Karim, MD.

Tractor Trailer Rollover March 23, 2015
Call received from the Wyoming County Sheriff's Department at 9:30 PM for a tractor trailer rollover on Route 19A in Portageville also involving a pickup truck. The tractor trailer was on its side and the load of bagged salt scattered everywhere. The truck was leaking fuel into the road ditch and needed to be contained.
We dispatched our 40 ton slider, a heavy wrecker, our Incident response truck, a service truck with extra personnel, our tele-handler loader to assist with cleanup of the salt, our flatbed wrecker for the pickup, and a tractor trailer with a drop deck to assist with removal of the damaged truck and trailer. A Haz-Mat clean up company was also contacted to clean up the fuel and salt.
When we arrived on the scene we found a southbound tractor trailer had rolled over with the tractor cab was laying in the ditch and the trailer in an empty lot. The tractor was leaking fuel, oil, and anti-freeze onto the ground. The trailer roof had been torn off and the cargo open and scattered over the crash site. The pickup was still on its wheels with the front end wedged under part of the trailer. With the roof collapsed the passenger side of the trailer walls were laying down on the load and ground. Sherriff and State Police personnel were on the scene and along with the Nunda and Pike Fire departments.
After initial fuel containment, the fuel tanks were drilled and the remaining fuel was pumped out and into storage containers. Spilled salt was contained and removed from scene.
We positioned our 40 ton slider with the boom extended out over the side of the trailer. We rigged 2 lines from this unit to lift and hold the side walls of the trailer so we could work inside the trailer. It was further secured by the rear axle to prevent sliding while crews worked inside trailer to remove additional cargo. Once cleanup was done, the pickup truck was removed from scene by our rollback unit.
After trailer was unloaded, straps were positioned to the front and rear of trailer and a low line was rigged to the suspension of the trailer to assist with rolling the tractor and trailer back onto its wheels. We repositioned our heavy wrecker towards the front of the tractor. A low line was rigged to the highest point on the steer axle and a 2nd line was rigged to the drive axles to assist our 40 ton slider while rolling the complete unit back onto its wheels. Both wreckers were then used along with our tele-handler loader to roll the vehicle back onto its wheels.
With this completed, the both wreckers were unhooked and the 40 ton slider was repositioned to allow for transport from scene. The tractor and trailer were unhooked and tractor taken back to shop. The trailer was too unstable to try and transport it back to our shop in Bliss. The trailer was transported to a local highway department for removal during daylight hours. The scene was cleaned up and all vehicles returned to shop.
The following morning we dispatched our 40 ton slider, 2 service trucks and extra personnel to Portageville to assist with the rest of the cleanup and secure the trailer and transport it back to bliss. Using the boom on the 40 ton slider to help move the roof and walls into a more stable and contained space, load straps were used inside the trailer to pull the roof down and also cross brace the walls in order to hold the unit together so that it could be transported. The floor of the trailer was bowed downward and structurally unstable, so we ran cross chains from the suspension on the trailer to the dolly legs and cross chains from the dolly legs to the wrinkle being used by the 40 ton slider to hook to the fifth wheel pin. This would create a secure link between the 40 ton slider and the suspension so that the floor wouldn't buckle while transporting. The trailer was then transported back to our shop.

NV - Las Vegas
Over Christmas week, I'm going to vegas! I've never been there, I have no idea what I want to see. All I know is that it's on my list for 'places to go before I die' and 'places to go before I'm 50'.
What should I do when I'm there? What should I not miss, because I don't know if I'll ever go back there again. Any suggestions? ~Bliss
I don't know how long you'll be there or where you are staying but rent a car and see as much as you can. I know a lot of people think that the hotels and casino are "next door" to each other and they are, but next door means a 1/4 mile away. Those properties are enormous and you'll spend a lot of time walking.
There are some terrific shows and restuarants on the Strip. DON'T venture off the Strip if you're walking around. The Strip is a 3 1/2 mile stretch of road named Las Vegas Blvd. If you gamble, and you should at least give it a shot, you never know, then you'll have plenty of chances to do just that. If you want to take a little side trip, go see Hoover Dam. It's awesome!
For some good shows see: The MacKing Comedy show at Harrah's[/U]. He's a comedian and magician and hilariously funny as well as very talented in the magic department. Afternoon show.
Phantom of the Opera, this is a must see. I've seen it 3 times and can't get enough. Night show.
Any of the Cirque du Soliel shows - KA, O, or MYSTERE
Very interesting and highly entertaining.
Blue Man Group - loud, high energy and very unusual show. Usually sold out.
The Jersey Boys - undoubtedly one of the best shows on the Strip. Well worth the price. At the Palazzo next to the Venetian.
Menopause the Musical - Inexpensive, hilarious and a lot of fun. At the Hilton.
Be sure to see the Bellagio Hotel. While you're there, ask someone to direct you to the chocolate fountain, 27 feet high and incredilble. Also see the Conservatory in the Bellagio. At Christmas they do a fabulous display. The outdoor fountain at the Bellagio is set to put on a show that will surprise you. The show runs often at night.
You won't want to miss the Volcano at the Mirage. Go inside and see the lobby.
Those are just a few, suggestions, there are many more, but go to Google and type in Las Vegas entertainment for other shows, prices and venues.
BTW, the weather is cold so bring a jacket.
Don't miss Fremont Street. There is a huge screen arched over the street and they do some awesome light shows on it. I don't know how to describe it but we had a really good time there. I concur about Mac King. Awesome show! I think Bally's still has the sterotypical show girl shows. We didn't make any of them since we ran out of time. There is a chocolate factory where you can tour and it also had a wonderful garden out side you can walk through that shows off native plants. At Christmas, the cacti are all strung with lights. There will be alot of Christmas decorations to ooh and ahh at as well. The Mirage has Siegfrid and Roys animals in a zoo like park. Treasure Island has a pirate show that we enjoyed. We stayed at the MGM and they have a CBS studio there. I got to screen a new sitcom. I thought it was pretty lame. Imagine my suprise when they actually aired it! It didn't last but maybe 2 or 3 episodes. Guess they wanted to get some money out of it anyway. Daytime won't be too bad but it will get chilly at night. Be prepared to walk! There are transportation opportunities but we didnn't waste our money. I would like to go back and see some of the things we missed. Maybe some day.
Have a wonderful trip!
I agree with Jabbur, go to Fremont. It's just a short bus ride from the strip. FUN and pretty too. There are live bands and lots of people to watch! FUN!!!
Concur with Jabbur and Pdswife-Fremont street is a blast! We've been visiting LV for going on 20 years, and not only do we visit Fremont St we stay there as well!!
Everything is much cheaper downtown, and unlike the Strip, the hotels/casinos are right next door to each other! There are fabulous things to see up on LV blvd, but take a cab and make a day of it, and then return downtown in the evening and let your hair down!
Binions Ranch Steakhouse has excellent food, and the view from the 26th floor is breathtaking! All that at about 1/3rd the price of an equivelant restaraunt on the strip.
If you like bars with...err,,,uhh... "ambience" take the 2 block walk down to Hogs & Heiffers saloon-its like "Coyote Ugly" without adult supervision!
There is no way you can possibly see everything LV has to offer. Generally there are copies of "Whats On" and like minded magazines in the room, listing everything from entertainment to dining and yes even gambling! If you've never been, your gonna love it!!
I spent 10 days there in October, going back for four more days in April (My birthday, my nephew & I-it isn't going to be pretty!) and then the whole family will be going out in August. I love that town!!
I'm going with a friend and staying at a condo with a kitchen for 6 days. It's located near the MGM. I've checked out the deuce and plan to go to fremont street at least a few days/nights. What is the best time of day to be on fremont street?
I enjoy walking, so I'll hopefully get 7-10 miles in a day to see the strip hotels.
I would love to see some shows, but the prices are steep. Maybe I'll find a deal and catch one or two once I get there. DramaQueen-thank you for highlighting all the shows that you think are great, that gives me more options than I would have considered otherwise.
There is so much to see, I'm just not sure whether I should start walking at first light or at dusk, that would change everything.
I'm bringing a coat, it was 7 degrees here today, and I see that it's been near freezing at night in vegas.
I like gambling a lot, but, I have too much common sense than to spend all my money that way. I'll be bringing a little for each day to spend in the slot machines, who knows, I might win something?
I'm going to want to find a grocery store too and I haven't been able to google one close to the condo. I'm planning on a couple dinners out, no definate plans yet, I'll keep Binions Ranch Steakhouse in mind, thanks for the suggestion.
Jabbur, pdswife, smoke king, DramaQueen, thanks for all the ideas!
Scotch...what's there to say. I'm planning to enjoy as much of vegas as I can, and it looks like there is more there than can be seen in 6 days.
I'm bringing my camera too, can't wait to go! ~Bliss
Yes some of the shows are expensive but you may find ones you'll enjoy that you can afford. We got to see Bill Engvall (Here's your sign) and the tickets were only $35 apiece. Blue Man group was $100 each and Cirque du Solei was around the same. There are lounges with "free" shows where all you need is to buy a drink. We did several of those. Saw a fairly good Elvis impersonator that way.
I can't believe I forgot all about mentioning Fremont Street. It is definitely worth seeing. Don't walk there, it too long and the neighborhood surrounding Fremont is dangerous. Fremont Street itself is very safe. Take a cab or rent a car, but be sure to see it either way. The best time to see Fremont is at night. All of the action happens then. There is an overhead laser show that is fascinating and the lights at night are awesome. During the day it's just Fremont Street.
The period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is normally slow so you may be able to get very good prices on shows on the Strip. Check it out before you leave home. If you call the hotels you have to ASK about discount prices. They don't volunteer the information.
The chocolate factory is Ethel M's. They have a huge cactus garden and during the Christmas season the garden is filled with lights. It's gorgeous and the plants are really interesting. Again, you'll have to cab, bus or drive it.
