Thee Complete List of All Sports Movies Ranked
I was inspired to do this list because I saw another list on IMDB "The 100 Best Sports Movies" and it was awful. I was originally just gonna do a top 100, but toe surgery and possibly some OCD had me keep adding movies. This list was alot harder than I thought. How do you weigh drama vs comedy. The first few pages are most all the best all time movies ranked best 2 worst. The rest, I'm still adding movies and ranking as I go

Fibromyalgia is a medical condition that is known to affect the soft tissues and muscles of the body. As a result, there is a muscular pain and fatigue experienced throughout the body, often interfering with daily activities of the affected individual. Though the condition can affect both men and women, females are more prone to Fibromyalgia than their male counterparts.
The pain (can be acute or chronic) associated with fibromyalgia is often an outcome of a condition whereby the receptors in the brain that perceive the pain signal undergoes modification, becoming oversensitive to the pain stimuli.
The body has 18 tender points spread throughout the body. These tender points are highly sensitive and can be quite painful when pressed. Research suggests that individuals with fibromyalgia experience pain in at least 11 of these pressure points when pressed (often used in the diagnosis of fibromyalgia).
Causes of Fibromyalgia
While it may be difficult to decipher the exact trigger that results in Fibromyalgia, the condition may be an outcome of
- Physical or emotional trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression
- Genetic predisposition. The incidence of fibromyalgia is higher in individuals with a family history of the condition
- Indulging in too much of a sedentary lifestyle (lack of physical activities and exercise) can play a pivotal role in triggering fibromyalgia
- Certain health conditions and infections such as Arthritis can also give to fibromyalgia
While muscular and joint weakness and pain are synonymous to fibromyalgia, a person may also complain of
- Sleeping disorders
- There is a weakness, headache (often associated with a migraine), and fatigue (in spite of having a sound sleep and proper rest)
- A person may experience Fibro Fog (a condition resulting from fibromyalgia whereby a person finds it difficult to memorize or concentrate on anything)
- There may be morning stiffness along with numbness or a tingling sensation in the legs, hands, feet
- Some women with fibromyalgia may experience menstrual cramps which are often painful
- One may also suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Temporomandibular joint disorders
Treating Fibromyalgia with Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, Fibromyalgia is an outcome of the vitiation of all the three doshas - Vata, Kapha, Pitta. This affects the digestion process (it weakens or slows down) with the buildup of toxins or Ama in the body. Thus, for an effective treatment, the balance between the three doshas should be restored along with the elimination of the toxins out of the body (detoxification).
- The treatment often involves a concoction of herbal and Ayurvedic oil massages and oil baths, lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, meditation and yogas or pranayamas
- Avoid non-vegetarian (can have lean meat though), spicy and greasy foods. Instead, supplement the diet with fresh fruits, vegetables, healthy or good fats (poly or monounsaturated fats), whole grains
- Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water daily
- Follow a healthy sleep routine. Mediation and Yoga will act as a catalyst, enhancing the overall treatment
- Drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco or drug abuse should be avoided
- A Warm Ayurvedic oil application with gentle pressure is very effective in this if done on regular basis
- Stay happy and stress-free

An average person experiences two fractures during his or her lifetime and same holds true for joint related injuries. The severity of this condition depends on a number of factors, ranging from the forces responsible for injury and location to the damage done to the nearby tissues and bones.
How age plays a role in your chances of getting a fracture?
Your risk and severity of developing a fracture, depends, to a certain extent on your age.
A very common occurrence during childhood is crippling joint related injuries, the fractures that you tend to have during this time are generally less complex than the broken bone instances that you stand to experience when you enter adulthood.
With time, your bones become fragile and you become prone to broken bones sustained from falls, which you wouldn't when you were young. Furthermore, as you step into your 50th year, you can get struck by the bone condition osteoporosis, a leading cause of bone fractures during this time. For women, menopause makes them more susceptible to osteoporosis (as infrequent periods and hormonal changes at this time lead to loss of bone mass) and subsequently broken bones.
Preventing crippling joint injuries need many steps in younger generation known as prehab especially for sporting population and adult population involved in day to day activities requiring your body getting subjected to physical stress.
Simple steps to get your joints back to normal in case you do get into injuries.
- Having a calcium and vitamin d rich diet to strengthen bones
- Exercising to strengthen bone and muscle health as well as your balance
- Taking relevant medicines to make your bones strong
- Going for timely bone mineral density test to determine the health of your bone
- Exposing yourself to the sun for about 20 minutes everyday
- Having a requisite calcium intake of 1000 mg and 1200 mg for pre- and postmenopausal women respectively
- Preventing a fracture by modification in your household furniture, extra clothings, sometimes addition of simple orthotic devices, improving your muscle reaction time etc go in long way to help prevent falls.
Pain in the back can be due to a number of reasons. It may be habitual, occupational, sports-related, or idiopathic.
- Habitual pain is usually due to patients being habituated to a faulty posture.
- Occupational pain is related to professions, which require standing or driving for long hours or professions like dentists who need to have a bent posture for extended periods of time.
- Sports-related pain usually affects athletes or children who bend their back inadvertently during taking part in sports.
Apart from these, back pain may also occur due to unknown or unrelated reasons. Homeopathic is a great alternative compared to allopathic medicines because it has no side effects and the cure is long term. The several homeopathic medications that may be used for back pain are as follows:
- Sulphur: It is a great remedy for patients who have back pain due to a slouching posture and whose pain worsens when they stand up.
- Ruta Graveolens: It is the remedy of choice in cases the patient experiences stiffness in joint or muscles, accompanied with feeling of soreness and lameness all over the back.
- Aesculus: It is a good homeopathic remedy in cases of very low back pain, which gets worse when the patient tried to stand upright from a previously sitting position.
- Rhus Toxicodendron: It is a recommended medicine in cases of pain of the lower back, shoulders and neck. Pain is worsened by damp and cold weather and by movement. Relief to such pain is provided by massage, hot baths, and warm applications.
- Arnica: This homeopathic gel is popular for its good effect on soft tissues and muscular pain.
- Nux Vomica: It is a great remedy for cases where pain gets worse by damp and cold weather, especially at night and painful muscle cramps are experienced in the lower back.
- Ignatia: It is a good remedy for emotional distress and for pain in the muscles of the lower back.
- Natrum Muriaticum: It is indicated for use in the pain of the lower back, which gets better from lying down on a hard surface.
- Bryonia: It is recommended in cases of strong pain in the lower back that prevents the patient from even moving, turning from side to side in the bed, coughing, or making any kind of sudden movement.
- Kali Carbonicium: It is a good remedy for patients who have frequent and strong night pains, accompanied with increased back pain during menses.
In addition to these, there are other homeopathic remedies that are recommended in cases of back pain such as Cimifuga, Calcarea Carbonica, Calcarea Phosphorica, Dulcamara, etc. To accurately understand which medication needs to be taken under which condition, it's always wise to consult a homeopathic doctor before popping in any globules.
Middle back pain indicates a discomfort or pain in the junction of the rib cage and the spine. This area is also known as the thoracic spine. The level of pain can vary from chronic, acute to mild depending on the nature of the underlying cause. With a right diagnosis, there are plenty of treatment options available to arrest the pain and aiming at a permanent cure.
Probable reasons for middle back pain?
- The lifting of heavy objects repeatedly or improperly can cause damage to the blood vessels and muscle tissue resulting in frequent pain in the back area.
- Discs are located in between the spinal vertebrae. They act as a cushion against shock and help in physical movement. An injured disc results in leaking of the liquid nucleus in its outer casting. This results in a strain in the surrounding tissues, ligaments and nerves pose a serious threat to the spine. A disc injury poses severe pain and discomfort in the middle back region.
- Often high impact accidents or violent falls can result in a vertebrae fracture. This kind of fracture necessarily has a co-relation with spine fracture and can result in intense middle back pain. In certain cases, a fractured vertebra can affect the spinal cord as well.
- Patients with osteoporosis can suffer from middle back pain too. This is a condition where the failure to regenerate old bone by the body poses a threat to the individual.
- People who are aged often faces middle back pain due to a condition such as the spinal stenosis- narrowing of the spinal cord.
- A condition known as the spondylitis that leads to inflammation of the spinal joints might lead to pain in the middle back area.
- Problems such as scoliosis can result in middle back pain. This happens due to the disruption of the weight distribution of the spine.
- Even tumors can upset the basic architecture of the spine leading to pressure on the tissues, nerves, and ligaments that result in middle back pain.
Symptoms of middle back pain:
Some of the typical symptoms of middle back pain include muscle spasms, sleeping problems, the stiffness of muscle in the morning, fatigue, weakness, tenderness, numbness in the back area, headache etc.
Probable causes, detection, and cure:
Some of the probable causes of back pain include obesity, family history, pregnancy, sedentary lifestyle etc. Over the counter medicine, heat and ice treatment, massage etc can be initially tried to get relief from the pain. If this does not fetch any result, a doctor must be immediately consulted. A Doctor first goes for a physical exam to understand the origin of the problem. He can recommend imagery tests such as MRI scan, CT scan etc. to further ensure the root cause of the problem. Once this is done, a doctor might suggest minimally invasive procedures such as fusion, discectomy, and microdiscectomy.

Macho Uno missed the Triple Crown races. He didn't make his first start at three until July because he was said to be suffering from bone-density immaturity. He won the Pennsylvania Derby in his second race back after his championship season.
Macho Uno, the 2000 champion juvenile colt, has been retired and will stand in 2004 at Frank Stronach's Adena Springs near Ocala, Fla. No stud fee was announced.A 5-year-old horse by Holy Bull out of the Blushing Groom mare Primal Force, Macho Uno was bred and raced for Stronach. He is a half-brother to Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) winner Awesome Again (by Deputy Minister).Macho Uno did not run this year, his last start being a fifth-place finish in the 2002 Breeders' Cup Classic (gr. I) won by Volponi. After the Classic, it was discovered the colt had a slight filling behind his knee, which eventually cleared up on its own.He was sent to Adena Springs in Florida and the plan was for him to have a summer and fall campaign this year. He was to be transferred from trainer Joe Orseno to the barn of Bobby Frankel.Macho Uno came to prominence as a 2-year-old when he capped off a three-for-four year with a victory in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I). He had won the Grey Breeders' Cup Stakes at Woodbine in his previous start. Sent off the 6-1 fourth choice in the Juvenile, Macho Uno, under Jerry Bailey, won the Juvenile by a nose over Point Given.Macho Uno was plagued by injuries during his career, but he did win the Pennsylvania Derby (gr. III) at three and the Massachusetts Handicap (gr. II) at four. He retires with six wins in 14 starts and earnings of $1,851,803.

Name: Sparkling Lip Lacquer
Brand: Senna Cosmetics
Size: 0.25oz
Price: $19.00
From Senna's website:
Sparkling light reflective pigments make lips look extra full and sugar coated.
What I liked:
– lots of shades available
– very sparkly
– not drying
– long-lasting
What I didn't like:
– slightly sticky
– the price
I've recently had the opportunity to try some products from Senna Cosmetics and after using them for a while, it's time to share my thoughts with you. So, let's start with their Sparkling Lip Lacquers. Available in 19 shades, these lipglosses apply sheerly and provide just a hint of color with lots of sparkle.
(Bling bling)
I got two of them: Bling Bling and Lush. Bling Bling is a very sheer gold gloss with lots of golden shimmers.
Lush is a sheer berry shade infused with golden flecks. Pictures don't really do them justice, they look much more shimmery and pretty in real life.
The texture is thick, but not drying, and slightly sticky, although not so much to actually bother me, especially since it's the stickiness that makes them last. And last they do. The staying power is pretty impressive for a lipgloss!
They lasted for about four to five hours on me. I also had a small snack and drank some water and the gloss was still there, albeit a bit faded. It will disappear if you have a proper meal, though.
These glosses have a strong scent of vanilla, which may put some people off. I usually don't like strong scents in lip products but I can't really smell this one once it is on my lips so I don't really mind.
Overall, I like Senna Sparkling Lip Lacquers. They apply very sheer but provide lots of sparkle and shimmer and last for hours. Although they are just a bit sticky, they don't dry lips at all.

I have been working on the design and manufacture of the frame of a U.A.V for quite a while now i.e since late August and i was able to make some good progress although i have to admit that the pace has been quite slow due to a number of unavoidable circumstances added on to the fact that i had to attend my summer internship at a manufacturing company that specializes in CAD/CAM known as Numerical Machining Complex where i worked long hours ,luckily i gained a wealth of knowledge and insight into a wide variety of the various aspects of design and manufacturing ,which adding onto all that i learned during the Localized Design and Manufacturing workshop at the University of Nairobi's Science and Technology park under the stewardship of Miss Ella Peinovich and Mr. Tom Odoyo ,will prove to be invaluable and the hands on experience gained from being in the varied design environments of both the design workshop and the summer internship will hopefully be the missing link i need to enable my projects and ideas to come to life and hopefully take up a life of their own.
Enough of that now.
I started the entire visualization process by designing a model glider on Rhino which is a 3D modelling and design software and came up with the below image.I paid as much attention to the aerodynamics and proportion as i could but i made sure not to 'over-design' it.I wasn't able to render the image mainly because my rhino evaluation had expired by the time i finished the exterior design.I'll be sure to do so in my next design.
I then designed the frame of the glider/plane based on the initial exterior design but i had to scale some parts up in relation to others and vise versa, mainly due to the fact that the milling machine i would use to cut the frame (the Shop Bot) couldn't cut small pieces of the material i had available because the smallest available bits were roughly 0.125 inches in diameter.
The frame/bilateral grid varied from the initial design but i assume when i'll be done with everything and i put some cladding on the frame everything will come back to the initial design except for the scaling .
I tried playing around with the color for presentation purposes but decided to stick with the original because the others were too loud.
After designing the frame i isolated the individual parts and prepared them for milling sadly i didn't take any pictures of the preparation but i'll be sure to cover all that in all subsequent designs.
I exported my prepared files from rhino and cut all the required pieces needed for the final assembly on the Shop Bot at the Fab Lab Nairobi .I used boards of ply wood of varying thickness i.e 0.5 inches and 0.8inches solely due to its availability and that brought about some problems that will be noted in the wing assembly images but i will try and correct then using some glue to fill the spaces and some PTFE tape to hide the glue which you will see in my next blog post.
I finished cutting all the pieces and laid them down in their pre-assembly state so as to get an idea of what the final assembly would look like.
I took another picture from the top view for documentation purposes and to give you another view of what i'm trying to achieve here.Hope you don't mind the odd looking shoe.
I then laid down the parts of the wing after cleaning them and removing some of the sharp edges to make them more practical as i prepared them for the wing assembly.
Another picture as as i played with the wing parts before assembly,note the airfoil shape i managed to generate for them,this brought about one of the challenges due to scaling issues and i ran out of material after cutting all the pieces for both wings so i had to use a thinner board of 0.5 inches which brought about assembly problems as noted earlier.
I started gluing the individual parts to their respective notches on the first connecting rod of the wing frame using super glue because the parts were too thin for me to nail together and the plywood would fracture if subjected to repeated hammering.
I then laid down and glued the second wing piece to connecting rod.
I then laid down and glued the third piece in place and tested their rigidity and if the glue had settled by shaking the assembly vigorously .
After gluing the three pieces to the 1st connecting rod ,i put in the 2nd connecting rod and glued it to the notches on the wing parts and came up with the image below.I also shook this assembly to see if the glue had settled well.
I took another picture of the wing assembly so far from a different view.
I repeated the whole assembly procedure for the other side of the wing and it looked exactly the same so i didn't put up any pictures of that.
The only remaining thing now is to join the wing assemblies to the frame and to add the cladding material and the 1st trial of the model plane frame will be ready for display and i'll be able to start work on the 2nd model which if all goes well will take to the skies if i can get some balsa wood or dense styrofoam that i can cut on the Shop bot.
Thank you for your time n look out for part 2.

MAVERICK "cowboy cloners" should be outlawed in every country of the world, the president of the Royal Society has said.
Lord May of Oxford, head of Britain's most eminent scientific institution, said it was time to make a clear distinction between "good and bad" technology and its applications.
Action had to be taken to reassure people that scientific knowledge was not being misused.
Lord May said recent work had shown that cloning of primates was technically much more difficult than with other animals.
This called into question whether human reproductive cloning was even feasible.
Lord May said, "However, what is real is the public anxiety that such claims cause - particularly when accompanied by a flurry of publicity. It is important, therefore, that every country introduces effective legislation to deter cowboy cloners."
He said scientific academies around the world, including the Royal Society and the United States National Academy of Sciences, had signed a joint statement calling for human reproductive cloning to be made universally illegal.
Writing in Global Agenda, the official magazine of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Lord May said, "The time has come for us to do a better job of choosing more deliberately what sort of world we want to create with the opportunities offered by biotechnology.
"We must find a way of realising the many potential benefits that our increasing knowledge brings - while also dealing with the many social, cultural and ethical issues that often accompany them.
"And we need to recognise the distinction between a technology and its potential applications, either good or bad."

My Spanish experience is not as honed so I'm happy to stay with the beginner and intermediate levels. Since 2011 when I retired from the Public Schools, I've taken on dozens of students to help and I find it very satisfying. I also have 32 years experience working at the Earle Restaurant.
HobbiesAside from my baking and tutoring, I enjoy pursuing my Italian lessons.

text: Can anyone think of a bad design that just makes you mad. I will start the list. A 90-degree oil fitler drain tube was added to the 23HP Kawaski engine but the oil filter itself is screwed onto the engine at a 90-degree angle. Its real easy to drain the crankcase oil but whats the point because when I change the oil filter the oil gets all over everything. EERRHHHH
