Deborah Green – MAAT (Clinical) Graduate
"I love watching people come alive when they realise they are free to experiment in a safe and non-judgmental space to create and re-create themselves," says clinical arts therapist Deborah Green, who studied arts therapy after a work history in creative community development and adult education.
Since graduating from Whitecliffe in 2011, Deborah has worked in private practice as a clinical arts therapist, as well as running arts therapy workshops for Mental Health Advocacy Peer Support.
"I also recently completed a contract with CDHB, providing arts therapy to children struggling with earthquake related stress."
Deborah also supervises art therapy student dissertations at Whitecliffe. While doing her own dissertation she was encouraged to explore her creative blocks using autoethnography, (a narrative approach that explores the writer's experience of life).
"This was a life-altering process, helping me to find new ways to work through obstacles and be creative both as artist and as therapist. I learned first hand how empowering arts therapy can be."

By Using 1 Teaspoon Of Baking Soda You Can Repair Your Damaged Kidney Naturally!The kidneys are one of the vital organs in the body. However, unhealthy lifestyle, poor diet, as well as genetics can sometimes cause kidney damage. The most important thing when treating this condition is to first determine the exact cause. Patients should also learn about what conventional medical treatments involve so that they know how different the baking soda treatment is.
In order for our body to be able to use the food we consume it needs to be dissolved into chemicals, which is possible because of the production of enzymes and hormones – products of the endocrine system. The pancreas protects our kidneys during digestion by producing the major part of sodium bicarbonate.
The thing is sodium bicarbonate counterbalances the acids produced during digestion, so a deficiency in sodium bicarbonate in the body means the acids can't be neutralized. This affects not just your kidney, but other organs as well. Plus, it leads to premature aging in adults.
The kidneys naturally produce sodium bicarbonate and that is what is keeping them in shape. If there are low levels of sodium in our body the kidneys will try to compensate by producing more. And if they can not produce enough sodium or if they fail in transferring it to the urine, the sodium will go into our blood stream and will cause the blood to become overly acidic. This can also be caused by some other diseases, but it's typically a sign of kidney failure. In such situations, when the kidneys are damaged they do not remove the acid from the blood. Once they start functioning correctly, and transfer the sodium into the urine, the blood becomes normal again.
The Royal London Hospital conducted a study whose main subject was baking soda and its effect on kidney stones. The study showed that this common household item can be very beneficial and can slow down the progress of kidney stones. It was revealed that it can also help people undergoing dialysis by fixing the damage made to the kidneys. Surprisingly, they would no longer need dialysis.
When baking soda is administered through dialysis, it gives faster results than when consumed orally because it goes directly to the blood stream. It neutralizes the acids from the food including sulphur, phosphorus and nitrogen thus preventing any damage to your kidneys.
In addition, baking soda has already been proved to help with other serious conditions including cancer. To be more specific, cancer patients can benefits a lot from this common household ingredient because it reduces the side effects from chemotherapy, as well as of chemical and toxin overdose.
How to use sodium bicarbonate?
- The first day take half a teaspoon of baking soda and put it under your tongue to dissolve.
- The following days dissolve one teaspoon of soda and half a teaspoon of table salt into 1.5 liters water and drink it.
You must always remember that if you lead an unhealthy lifestyle and eat unhealthy food it can have a direct and negative effect, not only on your kidneys, but on your overall health in general.

The Happy Couple
Lorie-Ann is the Director of Specialty Clinics at Duke Health System. A native of Long Island, NY, she came to North Carolina for college at Duke University. After graduating, she moved away, but decided to move back to North Carolina before long. Brett is the Dean of Students at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and he's a High Point, NC, native with deep roots in the area. Their autumn-themed November wedding was filled with personal touches and references to the places that matter most to the fun-loving, outdoorsy couple.
What Made This Wedding So Special
Lorie-Ann's parents, Melvin and Gertrude, have been married for 42 years, and their anniversary is in November. Lorie-Ann says, "Their relationship has truly been an inspiration to us, and even though we did not initially plan to have a November wedding, it is extremely meaningful to us that our anniversaries are just a few days apart." Brett and Lorie-Ann especially appreciated that so many of their friends and loved ones were able to celebrate their happy occasion. Brett's eight siblings are spread far and wide; one of his sisters and two brothers were in the bridal party, and the others were in attendance. In addition, many of Lorie-Ann's friends and family members – as well as the minister who married the couple – traveled from Long Island to be there.
The Design & Color Palette
Lorie-Ann's favorite season is autumn, and the rich, inviting colors of the fall were her inspiration for the wedding décor. Gold-painted branches, gold flatware, gold-beaded chargers, gold Chiavari chairs, and even an elegant gold wedding cake brought warmth to the reception dinner in the Weaver Room. The bride's two favorite colors provided the accents: bouquets, boutonnieres, cake decorations, and table arrangements featured deep fuchsia roses; and the bridesmaids wore dresses in a sophisticated navy blue hue.
The Food
Immediately after the ceremony, guests enjoyed the bride's and groom's signature drinks—the Blushing Bride, a sparkling cocktail of citrus vodka, elderflower liqueur, and cranberry juice; and Pebble Beach, made from citrus vodka and blue curacao—along with passed hors d'oeuvres:
- Potato and parsnip croquettes with leek mustard cream
- Mini crabcakes with remoulade sauce
- Baked brie with fig, honey, and orange marmalade
- Shrimp remoulade shooters
After the bride and groom were announced and first dances were complete, dinner was served, beginning with a salad of seasonal greens with house vinaigrette or creamy herb dressing, then guests' choice of:
- Seared salmon with honey lime beurre blanc, served with mashed potatoes and green beans
- Lemon chicken paillard with shallots and preserved lemons, served with crème fraiche mashed potatoes and squash medley
- Filet with Diane sauce, served with mashed potatoes and green beans
- Phyllo parcel with lentils, swiss chard, and caramelized onions over forbidden black rice and sautéed greens
How They Met
Lorie-Ann decided to join eHarmony just in the nick of time: Brett was on the verge of canceling his subscription. Lorie-Ann showed up as a "flex match" for Brett because she lived in Durham, not High Point, but the two began communicating via eHarmony and before long had their first date at Six Plates in Durham. (The pair discovered they had lived right around the corner from one another in High Point a few years back, but their paths had never crossed!)
The Proposal
Lorie-Ann is big on surprises. She loves to plan little—and big—ones for Brett, but this time, the surprise was on her! In honor of Brett's October 1 birthday, the two had planned an adventure-filled weekend of camping and kayaking, followed by a round of golf at Brett's favorite course, then a lovely dinner. On arriving home, Lorie-Ann discovered that Brett had a gift for her, too. She opened the gift bag to see a photo frame, and while she was expecting to find a framed photo of Brett and her, she wasn't at all expecting that photo to be inscribed with a message: "Will you marry me?"
The Wedding Magic Makers
Lorie-Ann complimented the QWRH staff, saying, "Their people are great to work with. I wasn't one of those people who had already thought of every detail … I didn't have an idea of the logistics, and they were really patient walking us through the steps, meeting us at convenient times, and giving valuable feedback." She also said that QWRH coordinated beautifully via Skype with the couple's wedding planner, Courtney Carter, who lives in Louisiana.

Inkubus Sukkubus, Come With Reverse, Dr D and the Voodoo Shreeks Live @ Second Skin Club, Athens, Greece, 02-11-2012
It was a very big surprise for me when I heard that Inkubus Sukkubus were going to play a concert here in Greece. They are one of those bands that I used to listen to when I was younger, then stopped listening for a couple of years, only to "rediscover" them recently. The magic was still there.
I had arrived a little late due to heavy traffic and saw only a few people standing outside Second Skin club, so I entered almost immediately. The gig was about to begin. The club is somehow small, but also very cosy. The only bad thing is… what else? The poor airconditioning, which quickly turned the place into a factory chimney. The first band to come on stage was Dr D and the Voodoo Shreeks. They play a mixture of electro/ambient music with slices of darkness. They managed to create a very nice atmosphere although they could use a little more practice together for live appearances. The keyboards and other stuff on stage didn't help much also because the stage was somehow small, which made movement difficult. They overally had a nice vibe and good communication with the crowd.
Dr D and the Voodoo Shreeks setlist:
1) Invisible Strength
2) I Will Kill For You
3) The Riddle Of The Sun & The Moon
4) Love & Rape
5) I Am Deamon
Next band on the bill was Come with Reverse from
The crowd had almost doubled at that time which made the band feel even more
welcome. Their doomy/goth sound along with a great performance from the bands
frontman, instantly made the crowd participate in the whole experience. The
sound started having some problems though which somehow spoiled some songs.
They band seems very tight though which can only be a good thing for the
future. Thessaloniki
Come with Reverse setlist:
1) Vanity
2) Inner Demise
3) Mandolism
4) Evolution Of Broken Minds
5) Sullen Look
6) Come With Reverse
7) Retour An Dich
8) Lust Pace
2) Inner Demise
3) Mandolism
4) Evolution Of Broken Minds
5) Sullen Look
6) Come With Reverse
7) Retour An Dich
8) Lust Pace
I was finally time for Inkubus Sukkubus and with breathless anticipation the crowd was waiting the unveiling of the band. The drum set was removed off the stage, because the band used pre-recorded drums in their concert and the three members of the band came on stage! Their faces were painted like corpses, due to the celebration of the "Dia De Los Muertos", the Mexican celebration for the rememberance of the dead. The band started playing and unfortunately at the same time, the sound started having major problems again. Of course the band and crowd didn't seem to mind a lot, so they kept on playing even more passionately. Especially Candia's performance was something you rarely see. I've seen my share of female fronted bands and I've seen frontwomen only have the looks, or the voice, or both, but rarely have the passion to support them. I'm sorry to say that without passion, you get nowhere. The band also had a very nice video-show playing in the background which fitted perfectly to every song, but one or two lights in the club were very bright which made it difficult to create an even nicer atmosphere or see the videos from certain angles. What made me very happy was that with every small problem, the band kept on playing even better. Most bands lose the ground beneath their feet with small things like a broken string or something. Despite all the small problems and the somehow small duration of the show (a little over one hour) they definitely were a pleasure to watch on stage. Let's just hope that we won't have to wait so many years before they visit us again.
The Inkies stayed around after their show, for a meet and greet and dance and party with their fans. I usually have an epilogue for such occasions, but for now I'll only say this. Magical night.
Inkubus Sukkubus setlist:
1) Messalina
2) Vampyre erotica
3) Lose Yourself At The Nympahaeum
4) Paint it Black
5) Night Angel
6) Away With The Faeries
7) Love Eternal
8) City Of The Dead
9) Heart Of Lilith
10) The Goat
11) Belladona & Aconite
12) Samhain
13) Wytches
14) I Am The One
Special thanks to
Candia for the extremely heartfelt

Last Fall my wife and I decided to create a fundraiser to raise money for our adoption of a little boy from China. We called the fundraiser "Give 5 Change a Life" and the goal was for us to raise $10,000 in 60 days by asking 2,000 people to give $5 each. Within 59 days we had raised $10,225 thanks to some great family and friends!
The "ask" of the fundraiser was simple, we asked people to:
- Get to know us by watching a short video.
- Give $5
- Share our page with their friends and family.
You can see our original campaign here.
So what is this site for?
This site is to help other families do what we did. We aren't looking to make any money on this, and we don't process or handle any funds whatsoever. We simply setup families with a fundraiser page just like the one we setup for ourselves. Eventually we hope to make this site into a much larger and more robust fundraising platform for families, but right now we are just in Beta and are getting started.
If you are a family that is in the process of adopting a child and you want to do a fundraiser like this we would love to talk to you. We just ask you to have two things:
- A link to a non-profit where people can give online. Families doing Give 5 have used either adoptogether.com and Project Hopeful in the past. We do this because people are much more likely to give if they know it is going to a non-profit.
- A short (3 minutes or less) video telling your story. It doesn't need to be fancy, just honest and heartfelt, telling about who you are, why you are adopting and if possible who you are adopting.
Please fill out the form below and we will help you setup a fundraising page and will coach you through the best approach to take to reach your fundraising goal. We just want to help others in the ways that our friends, family, and the Lord have helped us along the way.

Little League Elbow
(Elbow, Little League; Medial Apophysitis; Overuse Elbow Injury Related to Throwing)
by Laurie LaRusso, MS, ELS
Little League elbow is pain in the elbow joint due to repetitive throwing. This injury occurs in young baseball pitchers before puberty.
During this injury, the ligament attached to the inner side of the elbow begins to pull one of the growth plates away from the rest of the bone. Since the bones are still growing, the growth plates are weak and susceptible to injury. Certain types of throwing may lead to this condition, such as:
Risk Factors
Little League elbow is more common in boys and in those aged 10-15 years old. Baseball pitching, especially throwing curve balls or sliders also increases risk.
Symptoms include:
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. Other information needed will include how the injury occurred, when the pain occurs, and about previous injuries.
The doctor will also:
Treatment and recovery depend on the severity of the injury. Recovery time ranges from 6 weeks to 3 months.

Undergraduates who completed projects under the EASTBIO/BBSRC Reearch Experience Placement scheme in 2013 said:
"The experience and skills I've gained as part of a team has given me the more in terms of tangible value than anything else I've done at University. The nature of the competition gave me an experience in a much wider area than I think I would have had in a more traditional placement. Seeing a project from the first idea, then considering its safety and potential commercialisation in the environment are things that not many placements give you the opportunity to do, and I appreciate the funding that has made this experience possible."
"From this project I gained a lot of experience in the techniques used in molecular biology labs, but it also gave me some insight into how to approach to the problem 'scientifically'. For example, how to troubleshoot the problems, if experiments did not work; or how to generate a reliable data that is reproducible. Keeping a lab book and writing down everything that was done definitely helped me to improve those skills."

Now that Lorna's future plant-loving in-laws know her to be a tree-slaughter, is there anything else she could do to further alienate them?
Of course! I had only just begun! And they didn't even know that I was a drunken hussy. But, to be fair, neither did my future husband. A girl has to keep some mystery for after the wedding, right?
Corn season was something of an "event" when I was growing up. Without bioengineering making sweet corn available longer, corn season back then was brief and precious I loved the mechanics of eating corn on the cob as much as the corn itself. Pretending that it was a manual typewriter roll, I would bite my way across the cob from left to right. Ding! Scroll and return to attack another row. We bought our corn from farm stands, not knowing exactly when it was picked even though every sign boasted "Fresh-Picked Corn!" My mom wrapped any leftover ears in aluminum foil and reheated them in the oven for the next evening's dinner. The corn was starchy and tough the second night, but all corn when attached to a cob was good corn.
The VPs grew their own corn, thus the freshness-factor was predictable. One summer evening I was invited over for dinner for the first corn of the season. The water was already boiling when the men-folk went out to pick the ears. Two minutes in the boiling water and out came the cobs, piled high and steaming. For them, this was the only way to have corn—fresh from the garden and within minutes of being picked. I was in awe, never having had corn that fresh before in my life. I saw this as opportunity to weave my way into their hearts. I thought, I will rave about the special treat of having such delicious, fresh corn, which, fortunately, I had not mown over.
Ever eager (to please and to eat), I grabbed an ear, buttered and salted it and took a bite. It was great. At least I thought so. I told them with enthusiasm how exquisite the corn tasted. Before I had a chance to finish my accolades, however, Victor and his dad took a bite and spit it out, shaking their heads in utter disappointment with the dismal quality of the corn. They just tossed the virtually uneaten cob aside and picked another hoping for a better experience.
Again, I was awestruck. I concluded that I must be a corn dolt. Here I was extolling the scrumptious-factor of this corn they thought was only fit for pigs. I was just a corn dolt who lived in a trailer with my corn dolt kin.
Of course, I immediately labeled them "corn snobs."
To fit in as their future daughter-in-law, I had to refine my corn buds. It's hard to school your way out of corn-doltdom. The best I could manage was to reserve judgement on any ear of corn until one of the corn snobs had spoken.
They forgave the tree-slaughterer. They tolerated the corn dolt. But one thing they never quite got over was my reluctance to join their cults.
Perhaps I should explain. Victor and his father were members of a Masonic Lodge. As far as I could tell, being a Mason had more to do with secret religious-based brotherhood shenanigans and less to do with building anything with stones or bricks. As a woman, I wasn't permitted to know more details, or they would have to kill me and, frankly, I wasn't that curious.
The Masons, as luck would have it, has a sister organization called the Eastern Star made up of the wives of these Murky Masons. Their main function was to be proud of the Masons doing who-knows-what at the meetings, cook for them when they hosted dinners, and get all chatty about religion and domestic stuff…I guess. My future mother-in-law really wanted me to become an Eastern Starlet because she was one.
But I'm not a joiner. I didn't even stick with AA because it was too groupy-groupy for me.
I'm pretty sure at least my mother-in-law saw me as a heathen. I know that because she called a heathen. But she was drinking and was a little riled up about godless people. I happened to be there: a perfect example of someone who didn't go to church and rejected religious cults. So she had a valid point.
But the VP's prided themselves on not interfering and on appearances. I looked good on their son's arm and he wanted me. The rest, is, as they say, history.

Finally! My Style Net collaboration you have all been seeing on Instagram. The Style Net team and I thought we'd get together to share with you what wonderful pieces and shops you can find this Summer simply by browsing through The Style Net shopping directory. I chose some of my favourite pieces from Suede Online, Claire Aristides and Vision Direct to put together a few looks I am adoring at the moment.
There are so many Aussie designers on TSN directly and I'm absolutely smitten with what they have been delivering for Summer '14 this year. I love Nicholas' take on the little red dress with its leopard print and bold use of neoprene on a classic skater cut dress. And that is what I love about all these pieces. They're all distinct in their own ways, with Karla Spetic's stained glass window print, Gary Bigeni's digi-square rainbow – however at the same time, they're all so wearable. Layer on a couple of fine golden pieces and pick out a pair of designer sunnies at a steal and you've got all your Summer bases covered. It's all about subtle detailing and super-wearability. That's where Australian Summer is at and I'm loving it!

The plaintiffs were Free Speech Coalition, Inc. (FSC), the non-profit trade association of the U.S. adult entertainment industry; Lenjo, Inc. (dba as New Beginnings), a wholesaler of adult materials; and David Connors, an adult performer/producer who operates Dave Cummings Productions. A number of the court documents can be found on FSC's website.
Discovery in a U.S. federal civil suit falls under Chapter V of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rules 26-37. Rule 33 covers Interrogatories, of which the response must be signed under penalty of perjury.
In July, 2005, the government filed a response to the plaintiff's first set of interrogatories/admissions, including No.5 at pages 5-7:
5. Identify any document, study, report, or other information within Defendant's possession that any Plaintiff or any of Plaintiffs' members have been involved with or linked to the creation, dissemination, or distribution of actual child pornography. For the purposes of this interrogatory, assume that Plaintiffs' membership includes all corporate entities in the United States that produce material depicting adults engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct.
Because the master list of FSC members was sealed, the government limited its response to corporate entities:
Subject to these objections and qualifications, Defendant is unaware of any non-privileged report or study that references the involvement of specific "corporate entities," defined as specified supra, with child pornography.
And the declaration was made by:
I, Richard A. Hertling, hereby declare that the foregoing responses are true and correct.
This was false. At the time of the July, 2005 filing, material owned or distributed by the following commercial adult companies had been charged or prosecuted as actual child pornography, including six that fit the definition of "corporate entit[y]".
Als Scan, Inc.: Incorporated in Maryland and a member of FSC, 37 images from alsscan.com were charged as child porn in 2003. The 8 females were alleged to be no older than 13 by the state of Massachusetts.
Digital Palette, Inc.: Administers the colorclimax website, and contracts with Color Climax for the digital Internet rights of their inventory, which includes footage and images of the Tove Jensen loop "Teenage Tricks" prosecuted as child porn by the DOJ.
Filmfare Video Labs, Inc.: Incorporated in Delaware, they distributed the "Blue Vanities" tapes, through their website, bluevanities.com, and through the mail. B.V. tapes #80 and #82 contain footage prosecuted as child porn by the DOJ.
NewPath Inc.: Incorporated in Missouri, they bought and resold others' video tapes as their own thru their recently closed website, adultvid.com. These tapes included B.V. tapes #80 and #82, which contain the Tove and Christa footage prosecuted as child porn by the DOJ.
Caballero Control Corp.: Incorporated in California, they produced/distributed the Swedish Erotica adult movies, which includes #293, "Patsy Learns To Play", the U.S. title of Tove Jensen's "Teenage Tricks", prosecuted as child porn by the DOJ.
A&B Video: Corporate status unclear of the defunct Florida based company, but they owned/distributed the flashing footage prosecuted as child porn by the DOJ.
GM Video, Inc.: An FSC member, they owned/distributed the A&B Video flashing footage prosecuted as child porn by the DOJ.
Dave Connors Productions: Known as Dave Cummings, and a plaintiff in the FSC v Gonzales case, Connors produced and uploaded to his website images of himself with Melissa Bertsch (Melissa-Ashley), that were charged by the U.S. feds as child porn in 2003.
Knowingly making a false declaration in a court proceeding is a violation of 18 USC 1623:
(a) Whoever under oath (or in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code) in any proceeding before or ancillary to any court or grand jury of the United States knowingly makes any false material declaration or makes or uses any other information, including any book, paper, document, record, recording, or other material, knowing the same to contain any false material declaration, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
In addition to Hertling, who at the time was Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Policy, seven other DOJ officials contributed to the response (pg.12), including:
Laura Parsky…Criminal Division, Deputy Assistant Attorney General
Andrew Oosterbaan…Criminal Division, Child Exploitation and Obscenity Branch, Director
William Hall…Criminal Division, Child Exploitation and Obscenity Branch, Trial Attorney
At the time of Hertling's filing, a number of DOJ employees had been informed directly or indirectly that "Blue Vanities" tapes distributed by Filmfare Video Labs, Inc., contained footage prosecuted as child porn, including:
* Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division
* Assistant Director Criminal Investigative Division–FBI
* Several CEOS attorneys
* At least 3 DOJ attorneys
* At least 4 federal prosecutors
* At least 4 federal agents
More questions. Did the DOJ subject Hertling to a perjury charge by refusing to acknowledge they have charged and prosecuted commercial adult porn as child porn?
Was expert testimony/Tanner Staging used in all those cases, and is that what the DOJ is protecting?
Is that why the U.S. feds are allowing the prosecuted footage of "Teenage Tricks", "Group Sex", "L**ita Climax", and "Nineteen & Lovin It" to be commercially distributed?
If so, then which of the more than 50 public servants who are knowingly allowing said prosecuted footage to be distributed, will be called as a defense witness in the R Kelly child porn trial?
How many will be called to refute the testimony of Dr. Sharon Cooper? What's the trewthe?

1. On Monday I went to a preview of Looper and it loved it. It's a great concept for a film and I won't spoil it for you, but you should go and see it!
2. I'm trying to start drawing again, so during my lunchtime I drew a quick panda. I'm pretty happy with it and I loved doing it, so I need to dig out my sketchbook and do some more.
3. Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Need I say more? He's just really cool and nice and talented. I also saw Premium Rush this week which was really good, and unfortunately I haven't seen the full NBC Magic Mike thing (I'll keep trying though!). I've signed up to his open-collaborative production company HitRECORD in an attempt to get myself motivated to draw and write more, which is a great idea, but I'm also a bit scared of it all! (photo via Belfast Telegraph).
4. I saw a robin in the garden. It stood there for ages and I wondered if I'd manage to get my camera in time but I did and it posed for a while!
5. Saturday was a totally lazy day for me and I LOVE days like that! I sat in my comfy trackies watching The Swarm and eating chocolate.
6. It's only a few days til BlytheCon 2012! I'm really excited about meeting everyone and seeing their dolls and buying some nice things for my doll! I had to take a picture of us for registration to help people recognise us, so here we are!
7. I went in search of some more fantastic vintage items for my shop and came out with bag-loads of wonderful things! I have books galore including some Disney, Harry Potter and Star Trek ones and found these three in great condition! I remember playing Car Capers when I was little!
8. Our Sunday cinema trip this week was a double bill of Hope Springs and The Campaign. Hope Springs was good but The Campaign was more my cup of tea cos I find Will Ferrell hilarious! This has been a total film-fest, not sure if I've seen five movies at the cinema in one week before! (I also saw Killing Them Softly which was much funnier than I thought it'd be).
9. Last night I started properly learning Japanese. It's only 34 days til we go so I really need to knuckle down! So far it seems like a really nice language to learn!

So...here it is!
I'm not gonna spend too much time talking about a film that knows exactly what it is. The first two Human Centipede films gave you plenty of gross-out material...while also serving up some raw commentary on horror film cliches and meta humor. This one feels more tongue-in-cheek and, as our own Deviant Matt Dean put it...a grindhouse comedy of sorts. I'm probably in the minority when I say that out of the first two films...I liked the second one the most. But, this one looks over-the-top and thrillingly entertaining....so, count me in! Plus...Laurence Harvey and Dieter Laser are in it...TOGETHER!
Check out the all-too-brief teaser trailer...
The Human Centipede (Final Sequence) also stars Eric Roberts, Tommy "Tiny" Lister (Deebo) and Bree Olson...who, incidentally, is no stranger to ATM stuff (sorry). The film hits VOD and selected theaters on May 22nd! Get some!
Thanks for reading,

After the most recent update, I can no longer log in to the Amazon Firestick Spotify App. I get the message that the username/email and password combination is invalid. I know this is not true, because using the same email and password combination I can log in to my desktop and phone.
I have also tried detecting the device using the spotify app on my phone, but I cannot detect it. I am out of options and becoming extremely frustrated.
Is anyone else having the same problem or have any possible solutions?
Hey @migueltaino1965,
Sorry for the delay. Try restarting all your devices (and speakers). Also, make sure that:
Let us know how it goes :)
how do we login if we usually login with facebook on other devices. I have my firestick and other devices on the same wifi network and it will not let me play music even if I choose 'connect other devices'
Hi Jemi,
I am having the same issue. I've done/tried all of your suggestions, but I'm still unable to log in, cast spotify from both my mobile and desktop computer. I just purchased this FireTV Stick yesterday so it should be up to date and so is the app itself. Please advise.
Thank you in advance!
Same problem, the "login with facebook" option disappeared with the new update and it won't allow the username and password for the account to be used. The ONLY other option is streaming, which is not only NOT ideal but defeats the purpose of having the app on the firestick. If I'm booting it up on my phone, I'll listen there. Please advise.
Hey @Katierozum and @FlicksWFriends,
Thanks for getting in touch!
If you'd like to login with your Facebook profile, be sure to request a Spotify password here. Put the email address associated with your Facebook profile into the field and we'll help you to get a password. You'll then log in using your email address as a username.
As for @migueltaino1965, try the following if you don't have an account created via your Facebook profile but you do have a Premium account: Open your email and look for an email receipt we send out at the beginning of a subscription. This receipt contains a username which you may use to login on your Fire Stick.
Hope it does the trick. Let us know if you have further questions.
Have a nice day.

MIAMI, Florida, USA - Five people have been killed and eight have been wounded in a shooting Friday at the Fort Lauderdale airport, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said on Twitter.
The gunman, identified as Esteban Santiago, 26, is in custody and was a lone shooter, Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief told CNN on Friday.
"We have no evidence at this time that he was acting with anyone else. He is currently in custody and we're investigating," Sharief said.
Investigators are looking into the suspect's motive, she said.
- Parts of the airport were apparently evacuated. Aerial footage from CNN affiliates showed large groups of people standing outside on the tarmac.
- As of 8:00 p.m. ET, the entire Fort Lauderdale Airport remains closed. There is no word as to when the airport will open for service again.
- At about 2 p.m., reports of a second shooter sent travelers sprinting across the tarmac and ducking behind parked cars. After an extensive search, no second shooter was found.
- The Broward Count Sheriff's Office has only confirmed one set of gunshots.
- "The citizens of Florida will not tolerate senseless acts of evil. Whoever is responsible will held accountable to the fullest extent of the law," Florida Governor Rick Scott said in a press conference. The governor said that now was time to mourn the dead and pray for hospitalized victims, not talk about gun laws.
Gene Messina had just arrived in Fort Lauderdale on Delta Flight 2012 as people were being evacuated from the terminal.
"I got off the plane and I saw people running and screaming.
At first I was in shock but when I saw TSA agents running, I booked," Messina told CNN over Instagram.
In November 2016, nearly 2.5 million travelers passed through Fort Lauderdale's airport, according to a government report on the facility.
There are four terminals at the airport.

Later on day four, Dar es Salaam : 2 November 2012
My husband and I leave the Fishmarket clutching our prize tuna in a plastic bag and hurries along the long queue of cars, busses, Bjajs, motorcycles and pedestrians untill we reach our daughter's car. Relieved we get into the airconditioned interior as the air outside is heavy with humidity and heat lies like a blanket over the city. The cars move slowly ahead and then we can see the entrance to the ferry . Here the cars are directed into four lanes with an extra lane for bjajs and motorcycles. To me it seems chaotically busy, but according to my daughter it is not busy yet as we are early enough to miss the peak traffic.
At the gate we pay for the car and three passengers. All passengers have to disembark from their cars and enter the ferry on foot to prevent overloading. Along the queue of cars people are selling their wares ranging from small packets of peanuts and sweets, ice cream and fruit and the ever present luke warm soft drinks.We buy a few packets of peanuts from two small boys ( about 7 years of age ) and eventually give their peanuts back telling them to keep the money.This causes great joy and big smiles all round!
At last we reach the front and can enter the ferry. We find a spot in the middle of the throng of cars and wait for the crossing to start. My husband explores the ferry on foot while my daughter and I wait patiently in the car. The crossing takes about five minutes but the whole excercise can take up to three hours.
The ferry is a necessity as the sea forms a deep channel here between the north and south sides of the city and is the only way for people living on one side and working on the other to reach their destination. This deep channel is the entrance to the harbour and allows access to the big container ships.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — While it's often true that you get what you pay for, you can still save a lot of money without sacrificing quality by buying some things used. Aside from used cars and pre-owned homes, here are some things you should always buy used.
If you're looking to spruce up your yard by adding trees and plants then skip the corporate nursery and head to your local horticulture club where people often split up their plants and share them with each other.
Office furniture is generally very sturdy and there's no need to buy new. Keep an eye out for local businesses that are shutting down or redecorating and you can often score high-end chairs, desks and lamps for cheap prices.
Tools like hammers and pliers work basically the same whether they're new or used. Websites like BigSkyTool.com sell reconditioned tools for up to 75 percent off. And stores like Sears also do the same online.
Cell phones and electronics can be another great deal if you buy used. Companies like Best Buy and Apple have "refurbished" offers on all of their devices.
And finally, video games and movies are a lot like books; many people buy them new and enjoy them once before tossing them. Online sites such as Amazon and NewEgg offer pre-owned copies for a fraction of the cost.
Pets are something else you can always buy used. Animal shelters are over-flowing and often times they may even have that purebred dog you've been looking for. Ask your local animal shelter to give you a call if they ever get in a particular breed and you will save yourself hundreds of dollars by skipping a breeder. And don't forget to research pet rescue organizations as well.

|Hanging with Jeeves and a new Engineering pet outside the Auction House
I used to raid on a weekly basis in both vanilla WoW and Burning Crusade. I took a break at the beginning of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion and never really raided after that. I was never comfortable with my play style in either Wrath or Cataclysm and went searching for another game that fit my play style better. While Ocho points to discontent with the WoW end game for his reason not to play the game, I have finally decided that my discontent with the WoW end game will cause me to play the game differently.
Godmother just today (you don't know how shocking for me that is to be able to respond to a post the same day it was released) posted about how her achievement of the 'Mount Parade' was so significant for her. I had a similar reaction to my creation of Jeeves. While questing in Icecrown, Kantrina found the Jeeves recipe, and though I highly doubt it will be worth the cost in components, I love having it. For those that don't know, you can call on Jeeves to appear and he will allow anyone in your group or raid to sell things, repair or buy certain common items.
So I declare myself a proud member of Team Faff (Godmother's word for spending time doing things in game that don't serve the normal end game goals). For me, it isn't about gear, or achievements as the game defines it, it is about setting my own goals and working towards them. Right now since Jeeves is done, I've started working on getting my Miner, Kantro, to a high enough level so I can send bars to Kanter to transmute. Will I ever use those bars? Probably not many of them, but I want to be able to do it. After that, I will either level my Mage, Kantrina, so I can work on higher level Enchanting and Engineering, or go back to leveling Archeology on Kanter so I can get the Vial of the Sands.
Because of the need to be able to drop what I am doing any time, I need goals where other people are not depending on me. However, I love being able to help people and I've found a way I can have fun and still be able to do that. Other people have other constraints and play the game very differently.
Godmother made the provocative statement "I reckon what Warlords should be doing, as a first priority, is actively discouraging as much solo play as it can." I disagree with that. I believe one of the lessons that Blizzard learned in Mists is that more options is a good thing. If you want to raid or want to have the best gear, yes, you'll need to play nice with others. However people can be happy working on their farm or Garrison, or battling pets, or using their professions, or competing in the Brawler's guild and pretty much do these things solo. It benefits the players if they have multiple ways to keep busy that match different interests and time availability. And, if it keeps people playing, Blizzard has the incentive they need to keep offering multiple ways to play their game.

It seems like an overwhelming amount of people ask me if I have any pregnancy cravings. To be honest, I didn't have food cravings with my first pregnancy or this one either. Now granted I LOVE a big juicy pickle every now and again but I'm not taunted by the taste in the middle of the night. More times than not, I have food aversions. It was way worse when I was pregnant with Lil' Marcus. I avoided the taste of fish or bake chicken like the plague. Bake chicken for some reason tasted like aluminum foil. So that meant if I was eating chicken it had to be either fried (YUMMMM!) or grilled. With this pregnancy, in my first trimester I could not stand sweet foods. As hot as it was in California ice cream always seemed like a good idea at first, but as soon as it would hit my stomach, nausea would set in IMMEDIATELY. Well, now that I am in my 2nd trimester, there are some foods that will make me travel a long distance just because my twins and I want it. Here is my list of Pregnancy Food Favorites.
- Spicy Sashimi Salad – This salad is made of raw ahi tuna and raw salmon coated in a spicy marinate on top of a bed of mix green vegetables with an Asian Salad dressing. Yes I know pregnant women are advised not to eat raw fish because of certain bacteria and mercury levels. But I am very careful to make sure the fish is of good quality and I only eat it at most 2x a month. My favorite place to buy it is San Sai Japanese Grill.
- Broth based soups – Whether it is Chicken Noodle Soup or Chicken Tortilla Soup or some other chicken soup. I love chicken broth based soups. I think its all the salt and sodium that my mouth craves but typically one bowl of soup fills me up without making me too bloated. Sometimes that is half the battle when I eat these days. My favorite chicken tortilla soup is at El Pollo Loco.
- Fried Potatoes and Onions – First of all the smell is intoxicating all by itself. I love when the aroma from the cooked onions starts to leave the pan and fill the room. And if the potatoes are really fancy then there is the smell of garlic in the air as well. The only thing about this dish is that it is easy for me to overeat and then feel stuff and uncomfortable for hours later. But sometimes…its worth it. My favorite place for fried potatoes is in my own kitchen, cooked by me.
- MILK – This item really shouldn't be on this list because it has been my favorite beverage all of my life. Thank the Lord, my stomach still loves even when I am pregnant. It doesn't matter how bloated I get, there is always room for a large cold glass of milk. And not the imitation almond-soy-it should even be called milk-crap. I like that good old fashion, out of the teet of cow white stuff. And yes, I know that milk is comprised of mucus, blood, and some other stuff that sounds nasty but who knew that it taste so good when its mixed together. LOL. My favorite is 2% milk but I do drink whole milk as a second option.
Well I think that's it for now. Thanks for checking out my blog! Make sure you check out my YouTube channel, That Chick Angel TV for more pregnancy updates and fun content. Talk to you guys next week!

The Centre For Wellbeing
St. Andrews Road
01684 574888 / 07941 005850
I am dedicated to prevention as well as to alleviating conditions. I nearly always combine nutritional therapy with kinesiology. I work well with deep-seated issues, identifying imbalances in the body by monitoring your ability to hold your muscles against light pressure "muscle testing".
I check for the possible causes, be they structural, biochemical (e.g. nutritional deficiencies, intolerances), emotional or energetic (e.g. dehydration). For example if you have bloating, wind or skin issues and you've changed your diet but are still having symptoms, there could be an underlying issue e.g. a yeast infection or bacteria, that diet alone is not addressing. I will then advise whether supplements and/or dietary changes are advisable and I may massage lymphatic points and/or make structural corrections. You want to keep a food diary for a few days so I can see what you are eating currently and how this may be affecting your health, and so that I can work with you to devise an eating plan that you can use to start changing any patterns that may not be helping your health.
I will then give advice and tips on how to improve your diet, ideas of new foods to try and ways of cooking. Nutrition and Kinesiology are all about balance, making sure that one of your organs isn't working overtime to compensate for another that is under par. What suits one person will not suit another, so the approach is completely based on you as an individual.

Ranked 2019 — /dev Update #2
Hey everyone, Ed "SapMagic" Altorfer here on behalf of the Ranked team. Earlier today, we dug into a few position rank-specific bugs that could affect the quality of matches in **North America** and **Korea**. In this post, I want to detail the issues we're seeing and what we're doing to fix them. #MMR Linking and LP Updates for Position Swapping We found a couple bugs that affect how we handle position swapping and could lead to diminished match quality or incorrect LP updates in certain situations. ##Issue: The links between MMRs are not tightening correctly for high-skill players. We talked in [/dev: Addressing Your Feedback on Ranked for 2019](https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2018/06/dev-addressing-your-feedback-on-ranked-for-2019/) about how, behind the scenes, we link your position MMRs together. We tighten those links the more you swap positions to prevent abuse or when you're close to Master Tier where you have a single rank. In our investigation, we found the link tightening wasn't responsive enough for high-skill players. As a result, players who position swapped at Diamond+ found themselves in much easier matches than we intended. **Conclusion:** We have fixed this bug for both North America and Korea as of **today, January 31 at 2:00 PM GMT-8**. While some players were able to abuse this bug, we want to avoid solutions like resetting the Master+ ladder, which would punish the vast majority of players who earned their LP legitimately. Instead, now that we've fixed the issue, players who took advantage of it will get harder matches regardless of swapping, and their ranks will recalibrate as they lose games. We will monitor closely and make additional changes if needed. We thought there was a possibility we could run into issues like this, so we preemptively locked Grandmaster and Challenger for the first few weeks of the season to ensure we could make fixes and respond to player feedback. ##Issue: Some players may not receive properly diminished LP gains when they swap positions. The issue above should've been mitigated by another detection system which determines when you swap positions and adjusts your LP accordingly. When you swap into a slightly easier game before link tightening has kicked in, you _should_ get significantly less LP and have larger LP losses. While the actual position **detection** is working, it isn't being taken into account in some cases when determining LP gains for the match. **Conclusion:** Patching the previous bug should prevent the vast majority of cases where this logic is necessary, but we still believe adjusting LP like this is an important fallback for situations where—as we discovered today—MMR linking doesn't work as intended. ~~We're aiming to roll out a fix for this one before the weekend, within the next **24–48 hours**~~ We fixed this bug on **February 1 at 9:00 PM GMT-8**. #Correctness of Match Data on Third Party Sites With the introduction of position ranks, new information is necessary for third party sites to show all the right ranks. We've found some issues with the data we're providing which can lead to inaccurate match details. ##Issue: Some players are displayed as Master when they aren't and vice versa. Due to a problem with the underlying tech we're using to calculate and track rank information we're sending to the Riot API, we were giving third party sites incorrect data. **Conclusion:** We fixed this bug **yesterday, January 30 at 5:00 PM GMT-8**, so players should be able to see who's actually Master Tier and who's not on third party sites. ##Issue: Some matches may display the incorrect ranks for position played. With position ranks, displaying the ranks for an individual game got a little trickier. Third party sites will eventually be able to display the ranks for each player's position played, but we don't currently provide the right information for them to do so. **Conclusion:** We're collaborating with the Riot API team and third party sites to provide them accurate data as soon as possible. Once a fix goes out, you'll be able to rely on the ranks shown for matches again. We'll update this post with an ETA after we've resolved the other issues. --- These bugs are painful to say the least, but on behalf of the team, thank you for helping us find and fix them as quickly as possible. If you're seeing other issues that aren't captured here or you just have feedback about the system, let us know in the comments. Thanks for all your help, and we'll see you on the Rift. http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/6.24.1/img/champion/Maokai.png

Girl power in the plant
Could new teaching techniques be the key to getting girls interested in STEM?
There must be 50 ways to start this story. I could say it's bugged me that every salary survey I've ever covered about the control and automation field has shown that its gender-specific demographics are always about 98% male. Or I could once again echo the cry that everyone in the field is retiring, so it's suffering an oozing brain drain, and where, oh where, are we going to get the next generation of engineers? Or I could report that, while doing some early research for this year's two cover articles on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, I've turned up some crucial news. Finally, I could just give thanks for getting unchained from my desk, and once again having the opportunity to go out and cover a story in person. Take your pick.
Whatever the introduction, the way to solve control and automation's gender imbalance and secure more new engineers is obviously to get more girls involved when they're young, so they'll choose to become technical professionals when they grow up. As it stands, the field looks more like a stunted, patriarchal nation state that holds back the minds and potential of half its young people because of some calcified and obsolete tribal imperatives. Sound familiar? Anyway, it's time to move beyond coaching soccer and girls' softball, and get more of our daughters into control, automation, STEM and other math and science-related fields and jobs.

When something goes awry during a medical procedure, some people turn to a medical malpractice attorney for help. A medical malpractice attorney will work with the patient to sue the doctor or the company insuring the doctor. To become a medical malpractice attorney, there are a few basic steps that must be taken. In addition, specialized training may be necessary before someone can become a medical malpractice attorney at certain law firms.
Before anyone can become a medical malpractice attorney, she must graduate from law school and pass the state bar examination. Most law schools have minimal requirements before potential students are granted admission. These requirements include a minimum grade point average, a minimum score on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), recommendation letters, and even volunteer experience.
Many law schools offer classes that specialize in medical malpractice topics. For someone who wants to become a medical malpractice attorney, taking these classes will give students a good overview on the issues and legal concepts they will encounter. Often, the medical malpractice classes are taught by area attorneys, giving students more practical information beyond textbook legal concepts.
Some law schools encourage their students to complete an internship. If someone wants to become a medical malpractice attorney, she may try to find an internship with an attorney who practices medical malpractice. The internship will provide valuable hands-on experience and will enable the student to decide whether she really does want to become a medical malpractice attorney. A student may find that the actual practice of law is completely different than what was expected from studying the issues in a classroom setting.
In the United States, before law school graduates can practice law and become medical malpractice attorneys, they must pass the state bar exam. Each state has its own bar examination, with multiple choice and essay questions based on general legal topics, such as criminal law, tort law, family law, and constitutional law. Many other countries, such as Brazil, England, the Philippines, Ireland, Hungary, and Poland, also have exams that students must pass before they can practice law.
Although science classes are not a requirement to become a medical malpractice attorney, they can make the job easier. Understanding the way the body, different medicines, and various medical procedures work is necessary; however, those things can be learned through the course of practicing law. In addition, there are often courses geared for those wanting to become a medical malpractice attorney or those already working as a medical malpractice attorney. The courses keep the attorneys updated on legal concepts, medical procedures, and current laws related to medical malpractice.
Post 3
@Terrificli -- And all of that is why you will not find any malpractice attorneys who will take on one of those cases unless he or she is fairly certain it can be won. Because those cases are backed by money from either attorneys or law firms with money to spare, taking on a case viewed as an easy win is considered a good investment. Taking on a case that cannot be won easily is too risky.
The shame of all of that is some law firms tend to cherry pick. They want the easy cases, but not the tough ones.
There is some good news, though. If a lawyer won't take your case, shop it around some. You
may find other lawyers willing to take on a bit of a risk and agree to represent you. If you are convinced you are in the right and have been wronged, don't let one lawyer telling you he or she won't take your case discourage you.
Post 2
@Markerrag -- That is exactly why most successful malpractice attorneys work in large, lucrative firms that they either started or joined after someone else grew that business to the point where it has money to spend to pursue contingency cases.
The same thing is true of personal injury attorneys, really. Those contingency cases have to be backed by either an attorney with a lot of money to spend or a law firm with piles of cash.
Post 1
One of the most important things a medical malpractice lawyer can have is financial backing. You had better believe that those insurance companies that sell medical malpractice insurance to doctors have almost unlimited resources when it comes to cash to spend on defending suits.
Most medical malpractice lawyers take cases on contingency, meaning they don't collect unless they win. Their clients pay them nothing, so that means the expenses involved in pursuing a malpractice claim fall on the attorney. Without the money needed to pay for things like depositions, medical records, etc., the case will get nowhere.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Skateboarding is a sport, an art form, a lifestyle, and a culture.
To a non-skater, riding a board may appear as an effortless recreational activity. However, anyone who has ever tried pushing a skateboard will know what a tedious task it is – just to make the board go.
As a form of exercise, skateboarding requires a high level of balance, coordination and overall muscle demand response due to the multiple joint movements being performed in rapid succession. Skateboarding also delivers a challenging cardiovascular workout that strengthens the heart, lungs, and vascular system, enabling oxygenated blood to be pumped and processed by the body more efficiently. This ultimately results in an increase in energy levels and improved endurance.
Mentally, when a person is skateboarding, both hemispheres of the brain are activated to regulate balance, sharpen stimulus reactions and increase presence of mind. Correspondingly, skateboarders experience improved sleep quality, lowered stress response, improved memory, spatial orientation, focus and self-esteem, plus an overall heightened sense of competency, wellbeing and resilience.
The muscles that come into play while skateboarding are:
Core (Trunk)
Skateboarding works your core muscles by stabilizing your body and allowing you to balance on unstable surfaces, which is a critical component of skateboarding. The abdominal and extensor muscles of the back are the support muscles that help stabilize the core area. These are the muscles that connect the lower body movement to the upper body maintaining stability in the hip and lower back. The core includes your abdominal muscles, the muscular structure of your hips, and muscles that surround your spine. Your hip muscles include over 10 inner muscles that stabilize the hip joint. Spinal muscles include large muscles such as the latissimus dorsi and trapezius in addition to several inner muscles that extend the length of your spine.
The movements of the trunk are:
- Flexion – the rectus abdominis muscles lean the chest and stomach forward.
- Extension – the erector spinae muscles of the back support the spine when it flexes forward.
- Rotation – the external and internal oblique abdominal muscles control the trunk rotation.
Gluteus Maximus
The gluteus maximus is among the largest muscles in your body, which extends from your hips to hamstrings. The gluteus maximus is an important stabilizing muscle for skateboarding, which allows you to maintain balance when transitioning from a crouched to upright posture. Extending, particularly hyperextending, your hips activates the gluteus maximus. Hip hyperextensions help skaters gain maximal speed when propelling forward on a flat surface.
Hip Joint
The hip joint allows for a wide range of motion providing six important movements. Many muscles cross the hip from various angles. In skating, the abduction, extension and external rotation motions are the three most important. Some of these muscles interface with the knee joint.
The six movements of the hip joint are:
- External Rotation – muscles of the external rotation turn the leg and kneecap outward.
- Internal Rotation – muscles of internal rotation turn the leg and kneecap inward.
- Abduction – The abduction muscles move the leg away from the midline of the body.
- Adduction – The adduction muscle group consist of the groin muscles that move the legs toward the midline of the body.
- Extension – muscles move the thigh backward opposing the flexion muscles – an important movement for gaining forward speed with one foot while skateboarding.
- Flexion – muscles move the thigh toward the chest opposing the extension muscles.
Knee Joint
The knee performs the action of extension (skating stride push-off) and flexion (returning the leg to the glide position). The quadriceps is made up of four muscles: vastus intermedius, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis and vastus medialis.
Three muscles make up the hamstring muscle group: biceps fermoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus.
The movements of the knee are:
- Knee Extension – quadriceps muscle group are the key muscles involved in the knee extension. Skating moves such as the Ollie involve knee extension and hip flexion. Skaters accelerate upward by explosively straightening the legs, which extends the knees. The hips flex shortly after impact on the downward phase of the Ollie.
- Knee Flexion – Hamstring muscle group are responsible for knee flexion, which allows you to bring your calves up toward the back of your thigh. Flexing your knee is important for crouching down to maintain a lower center of gravity while skating.
Lower Legs
The gastrocnemius muscles, known as the calves, assist your quadriceps extend your knees. Skateboarders rely on the gastrocnemius for plantar flextion of the ankle, which points your toes downward. Planter flexing allows you to shift your weight toward the front of your body, which helps turn the direction of a moving skateboard in that direction. The tibialis anterior muscle, which forms your shins, controls dorsal flexion. Dorsal flexion allows you to tilt your heels downward while skateboarding, which provides directional control in the opposite direction of plantar flexion.
Ankle Joint
The calf muscles (soleus and gastocnemius) and the anterior shin section (tibialis anterior) muscles contract isometrically during the push-off phase and the glide phase.
Exercises That Help You With Skateboarding
Exercises that help you with skateboarding strengthen the muscles necessary to increase your performance and advance in the sport. Skateboarding primarily works the lower body to manipulate the board as you ride and do tricks, while balance requires a strong core. Do up to three sets of eight to 12 repetitions at least twice a week to reap the benefits of strength training exercises.
Barbell Calf Raises
Barbell calf raises exercise your calf muscles, which are critical to balancing on a skateboard. Stand under the barbell with one foot in front of it and one foot behind — this is called a split stance. Hold the bar with your palms facing forward and a bit wider than shoulder-width apart. Place the bar at the top of your shoulders or across the back of your shoulders. Unrack the barbell and take one step backward to get into the starting position. Raise your heels off the floor while you count to three and lean slightly forward to maintain your balance. Lower your heels for a count of three to the starting position to complete one rep.
Seated Leg Press
The leg press targets your quads, which work hard to help you balance and execute tricks that require jumping and subsequently landing. Adjust the seat so your knees bend 90 degrees when your feet are flat on the foot plate. Grasp the handles at your sides. Relax your back, neck and head against the backrest and look forward to get into the proper starting position. Extend your legs without locking your knees and return to the starting position to complete one repetition.
Stability Ball Hamstring Curl
The stability ball hamstring curl strengthens your glutes and hamstrings. These muscles help you stand on your skateboard in a crouched position for long periods of time. Working with the stability ball develops balance. Lie on the floor with your feet, ankles and lower calves atop the stability ball. Extend your arms out to the side at shoulder height with your palms flat on the floor and look at the ceiling in the starting position. Contract your abs to lift your back off the floor so your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your toes. Next, bend your knees to roll the ball toward your feet so you can place the soles of your feet atop the ball. Slowly return to the starting position to complete one repetition.
Core Muscles and Balance
Strengthen your core muscles and develop your balance with the yoga half-moon pose. From a standing position, bend over from your hips toward the floor. Place your left hand on the floor, bending your knees if necessary, and your right hand on your hip. Lift your right leg behind you, gain your balance and rotate your hips and torso to face the right wall. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, and reverse the movements to get back to a standing position. Repeat on the other side.

Late Goal Propels Women's Soccer to Championship
COLUMBIA -- The Columbia College women's soccer team kept their season alive tonight, winning in exciting fashion over American Midwest Conference (AMC) foe Hannibal-LaGrange (Mo.) University 1-0 in the AMC Postseason Tournament Semifinals. The win moves the Cougars, who are the No. 2 seed, to 10-9 on the season and ends the season for the Trojans, seeded third, at 8-9-2.
With the rain drizzling down on a very soaked field, the Cougars and Trojans struggled to get any offense going early in the game, logging just two shots-on-goal combined in the first 45 minutes of action.
The second half saw both teams become more aggressive towards the ball but the soft ground did not allow many breakaways or hard shots. Finally it was junior Stephanie Hale that was able to give the Cougars life. In the 84th minute, just when the game looked to be heading into overtime, Hale was able to control the ball to find the back of the net after the Trojans could not clear the ball from in front of the goal. The score was Hale's ninth of the season.
The Cougars held off the visitors for the remaining time and secure the victory. Sophomore Erica Ramirez took the win in goal for Columbia with four saves.
The win means the Cougars will travel to Parkville, Mo. on Thursday, November 8th for the AMC Championship match. Columbia will face top-seeded Park University in a 1 p.m. game for a chance to earn a bid to the NAIA National Championships. In their previous meeting the Park Pirates defeated the Cougars 2-0.

Yesterday Theresa May shocked the press, members of the opposition and the general public by announcing she is calling for a general election to be held on 8th June 2017.
In a televised speech she claimed she originally had no intention of doing so but certain circumstances had forced her hand.
The fact The House of Lords has stated they will block any decisions the conservative government make over BREXIT, Jeremy Corbyn's constant knocking of her and anything and her handling of BREXIT and being slated by SNP's Nicola Sturgeon have all been factors in her decision.
The Prime Minister expressed her desire for those with any kind of power, whether they be in The House of Lords or standing in The House of Commons to come together to make the exit from the European Union as painless as possible. Her concern is if the country is divided we won't get the best deal in the latter stages of the BREXIT negotiations giving Europe the upper hand.
The country voted for BREXIT on June 23rd 2016 but with a 52% majority the country has been divided. The fact remains the majority did ask to leave the European Union and PM Mrs May claims to want the procedure to be swift and problem free.
First Scottish Minister, Nicola Sturgeon has been ranting about a Scottish referendum to leave Britain despite giving the Scots a once in a lifetime chance to vote out in September 2014 resulting in a 'No' decision from 55.3% of the voters. Since the BREXIT vote Sturgeon has bleated on tirelessly about a second referendum stating the goal posts have changes. She believes the Scots should be allowed stay in Europe while leaving Britain.
Europe has said nothing would be decided on the Scottish until the BREXIT negotiations were finalised, a fact that doesn't appear to have penetrated with the First Scottish Minister.
Leader of the Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn is said to be the only real opposition to Theresa May yet many say he is no opposition at all. Many Labour politicians have left the party since his leadership started and there's been much party in fighting and bickering.
In a statement Mr Corbyn said "I welcome the Prime Minister's decision to give the British people the chance to vote for a government that will put the interests of the majority first."
In the latest poll Labour is 21 points behind the Conservatives, a result that would see dozens of the party's MPs lose their seats. However, in recent times we have come to know that polls are always accurate, if they were the 'remainers' would have won the Brexit referendum and Trump would not be the President of the USA.
Bookies odds are currently giving odds of 1/7 for a Conservative majority, 5/1 for No majority, 25/1 for a Labour Majority and 100/1 for any other party majority.

My daughter loves to dress up.
She loves wearing dresses and skirts and super cute girlie things.
While she runs barefoot in the mud chasing frogs and bugs.
She is sort of like Barbie meets the female Crocodile Hunter.
So, give her some cute clothes and see what happens….
Much to Abby's delight, Barbie has her own line of branded clothing from Mattel.
And they arrived in the cutest little box.
The skirts have shorts under them – a must have when a girl likes to sit in the dirt and hang upside-down on the monkey bars.
Don't be fooled, she may look sweet and all girly but right after this was shot she was collecting bugs and worms in a jar and tossing a football around.
I just pray she doesn't shove another giant toad in my face, or try and bring a bucket full of baby bunnies into the house – again.
If you have a little lady, a tomboy princess, or someone in between who loves Barbie, you can get the outfits shown above (and others) at Kmart and Walmart.
About the clothes:
Note: we received the products shown in order to share the new line of Barbie clothing from Mattel.

For all of those lucky folks living in the great State of Wisconsin, the Tridentine Mass Society of Madison has released a tentative schedule for their Pontifical Masses as celebrated by His Excellency, Bishop Robert C Morlino.
A couple weeks ago, we celebrated St Dominic's feast day (in the traditional and Dominican calendars on August 4th). The Ordo Praedicatorum Facebook page posted this image on the New Calendar feast day (August 8). I like this quote from St. Dominic. How true it is!
