Grade 7 Learns Electrical Energy with the "Mars Rover"
On the first day of our unit on electricity three weeks ago, Lori and I told the students the following prompt:
"You and your group members are on a mission to Mars. Your job is to build a remote controlled rover to perform a task like collect soil from the planet, deliver a payload to a colony of explorers, or do a search and rescue. Our learning of electricity and your understanding of it will be vital to learning how to accomplish this task."
And so it began. Not only a project based, but a problem based approach to learning with the end goal in mind from day 1. My partner and I used this backwards design approach and developed a short unit on electricity with an engineering component and tech tools for designing (Google Drawings) and formative assessments after lessons (Google Forms for quizzes and Infuse Learning for post lesson evaluation) Lori Uemura, being the flipped classrooom guru of our school was kind enough to make and record presentations with video lectures for our students which we both used to "front load" learning before the students came into class. When they did, they didn't practice lighting up light bulbs on chintzy circuit boards, they made a circuit that was vital to their project and powered one of their electric motors.
I came in with a different angle. I gathered the materials and developed a project rubric and was in charge of assessments.Working together, Lori and I were able to cut the work load in half and make better quality presentations and better quality assessments. Our standards were pretty loose and didn't specify all of the electrical components that we needed to use, so we thought we should just focus on the basic parts that would be useful for this given task. As this was our first time teaching this unit, we would reflect afterward on changes for next year.
Gamification Enters
Once students had the content and skills, they were able to synthesize what they learned and apply it to this creative endeavor. Our technology assessments allowed us to intervene and help groups that were struggling to stay on task and the authenticity of the problem made it more compelling to the students. I was inspired by Sal Khan's use of data and Paul Anderson's approach to playing and being creative for real learning. Although I supplied all of the electrical components, tape and balsa wood for the frame, students still needed to supply their own wheels. Students peppered me with questions such as "What should I use as wheels?" to which I inquired: "What material do you want your wheels to be made out of?" and "What's your ideal diameter considering the diameter of the motor?"
Suddenly, math becomes relevant. Students start connecting the perimeter of the frame with an increase to wheelbase and the fact that a larger frame may not be the best. They dispute whether metal or plastic wheels would be better and wrestle with the best way to attach them to the metal axles. How is this all gamification might you ask? I believe it meets meets many of requirements that advocates of gamification argue are essential for real world learning. The first is persistence. Students learn by trial and error how a circuit works and trouble shoot their wiring and circuitry. There was also a progress report as indicated by rubrics which could have been "badges". Finally, each student has a unique skill set such as technical skills, leadership or steady hands. James Paul Gee and Jane McGonigal discuss how such tasks are springboards for adult learning communities where skill sets are developed, marketed and sold.
What We Learned
My teaching partner and I learned so much through this project, and as groups settle into the last stage of their project, I think of the following things and how we can improve upon them next year:
- It helps to have volunteers. We didn't anticipate the number of problems that groups would have and despite ample demonstrations (and perhaps deliberately leaving some things vague) we were often barraged for help. Mr. Hunt and Mr. Minh were a big help every day along the way.
- Persistence grows when the end is in sight. I noticed that some groups were close to desperation early on but once they got started and invested their time and effort into the project, re-motivating them was something we had to do less and less.
- Struggle is essential to learning. So often did I get asked a question to which would ask the group a redirecting question to really get them thinking about the task. This frustrated many groups, hoping I would simply give them "the answer" or show them "how to do it". To quote Fredrick Douglass: "Without struggle, there is no progress".
- Young adults don't approach a task the same as educated adults. When our students started, some groups did a better job of collectively sharing opinions and ideas. Some just had an alpha student that charged ahead with directions. It was important to coach the students through the group working process to ensure that all members were involved.

Writing Permeates into Science
Some of you may notice that we are doing more writing than usual in science lately. Although writing in science is essential for communicating clear procedures, we are starting to do more writing in science as a supplement to improving writing here at SSIS and that means writing across the curriculum.
Writing across the curriculum means that all teachers are teachers of writing. As a grade 6 team, we are using our school's MAP test data to identify areas in student writing that we can develop, so we're using a unified approach in our teams to develop these areas. Here are some recent examples.
1.) Writing to justify a stance. (Argumentation) I developed this writing warm up as a means to justify any issue. In this case, an image is inserted and students (working together) write a dialogue which supports opposing points of view. In this example, two students debate over which pulley makes work easier.
2.) Essay Reorganization (Sequencing) This is an activity to help students understand how ideas and sentences flow. I took an essay and reorganized it with the sentences out of order. In this case, I have the story of how Archimedes moved a ship with his hand! Students that chose this activity really develop and practice their skills of sequencing and writing with chronological order.
Expect to see more and more writing activities to serve as warm ups or debriefs following activities. Although I usually give students choices, sometimes I may pull some students aside to recommend activities for them, as their data picture may have indicated a particular skill they need to work on. Whatever their paths, we will take a team-wide approach to developing these essential skills and make use of standardized test data to tailor a learning plan that is unique to each student and helps them achieve their full potential as writers.
Grade 6 Learns about Forces!
The sixth graders have been learning about forces and motion. Most recently, they have been learning about forces and collecting data on how machines make work easier. The "Lever" has been the primary focus of data collection, but we will get into inclined planes later this week.
They also had their first cooperative quiz which was used to help them review. To the students, I ask:
1.) Did you like the cooperative aspect of this activity? Why or why not?
2.) Did this help or hurt group communication?
3.) Is this "copying" or what questions does this give you regarding "fairness"?
4.) Did this help you learn?
Summative Labs in Biology: Diversity of Life
I was really moved at basketball practice on Friday afternoon. I asked my students, "What was the highlight of your day?" To which 90% of the players said: "My Science Test!"
I thought I was in a parallel dimension. When are students excited about taking a test? I have found that reinventing science exploration through open-ended, authentic learning makes it fun and interesting. Students feel like they are "doing" science rather than just learning science theory.
Check out their work below. The introduction has a guest presenter: Mr. Post!

Crinoidea featherstonia
How is it Alive?
My base is what keeps me anchored. A good foundation is important, wouldn't you say? I respond to stimuli by opening my arms to grab food and I pull my arms in when I feel threatened. Below you can see how I respond when a scuba diver tried to look inside my body. Although he pries my arms open, I quickly retract them.
"He dude, why are you messing with me?" I asked the diver above.
"I just want to see inside." He says. "I'm curious."
"Go be curious somewhere else!"
I also happen to be a female, although there are males too. We reproduce by releasing our eggs and sperm into the water and that is what causes the process of fertilization. Our children start out as larva and are all on their own. They attach to the bottom of a patch of coral and then grow into an adult. We are made of many chemicals, notably oxygen and carbon.
Classifying Life
Looking at me, you wouldn't exactly know what type of life form I am, which is part of my allure. I grip to the bottom of a reef, so you might think I'm a plant-but I'm not. I'm a crinoid, which are class of living things in the phylum echinodermata within the kingdom animalia. Because I am an animal, I am a heterotroph and must get my food by feeding. Because I'm so big, I'm made of many cells that carry out my life's processes. In environments were there is not a lot of food to reach out and grasp, my relatives have grown longer arms, as it helps them reach further.
Evolution and Ancestry
I have been around a long time and I'm been able to survive and adapt to a variety of conditions. I've also been around for millions and millions of years. My current relatives and common ancestors are sand dollars, sea urchins, star fish and feather stars. Our body structure is very similar in that we are all very symmetrical. That means that if you cut us down the middle, what will be on one half will be the same on the other. The following classification chart will help you compare my physical traits with other life forms that are similar to me:
Survival in the Environment
I can't run. My bottom is called the "holdfast" which holds me down. It doesn't work like legs or anything similar, but it can grip tightly. If I need to, I can let go of the coral that I'm attached to and the current drifts me away to new places. The problem is, I can't really control where I'm going and I only use this as a last resort if predators are trying to get me. My babies are eaten by fish, but by the time I'm an adult, I'm safe.
I feed by opening my 50 or so arms and grabbing any little particles I can reach. Sticky mucus grabs the food and I bring it to my center mouth. Because I eat plankton, I am a consumer.
Parental Care
We produce a lot of babies. We don't take care of them either. The reason that we produce so many is that we don't have to take care of them. Sadly, a number of them will be eaten, but hopefully some would survive. The following shows the relationship between the amount of care we give them and the number produced:

The Carbon Atom
The above is a puppet pal animation of the element carbon. I think this will serve nicely as our end of the unit project for "chemical building blocks".
To my students, feel free to comment on any of the following:
- What did you find interesting?
- What did you learn?
- What questions does this give you for your project?
- Are there any elements that you'd like to focus on for your study? Which and why?

Applying Chemistry Understanding Through Summative Labs
The seventh graders have had their first "test" in chemistry. Rather than a content test, this is a skills test. Namely, can students make predictions, write a clear procedure, and write data based conclusions. We designed our learning around the GRASP task of testing various materials for design of an airplane. Here was the challenge:
Learning Standards
- Design and conduct investigations with controlled variables to test hypotheses.
Form explanations based on accurate and logical analysis of evidence. - Revise the explanation using alternative descriptions, predictions, models and knowledge from other sources as well as results of further investigation.
- Frame and refine questions that can be investigated scientifically, and generate testable hypotheses.
Accurately collect data through the selection and use of tools and techniques appropriate to the investigation. - Construct tables, diagrams and graphs, showing relationships between two variables, to display and facilitate analysis of data. Compare and question results with and from other students.
- Communicate scientific procedures, data, and explanations to enable the replication of results.
- Use mathematics, reading, writing, and technology in conducting scientific inquiries.
Grade 6 Hunts for Protists
The sixth graders are continuing their study of microscopic life by learning about life forms within the kingdom "protista". Protista is sort of the "Odds and Ends" of the classification world as some life forms are single cellular and some others are made up of many cells. Some are autotrophs or "plants" and others are heterotrophs or "animals'.
Protists from Gary Johnston
The students have been furthering their microscopic use skills and identifying protists by their characteristics using a online drawing program. This allows us to compare our observations and deductive skills.

Knight Alef among best in backstroke
WINNETKA, Ill.—Kaneland senior Grant Alef went into the the IHSA State swimming and diving meet on Friday at New Trier High School, and emerged as one of the elite on Saturday.
On Friday, the University of Minnesota-bound Alef swam sixth in the 100-yard backstroke at 51.42 seconds, qualifiying him for Saturday's final.
Friday also saw Alef finish just 1.13 seconds off of a chance for the consolation final in the 500-yard freestyle event (4:40.29).
On Saturday, Alef excelled enough for a fifth-place finish in the state with a time of 51.18 in the backstroke. Naperville Central's Sean Lehane took the event crown at 50.28.
Alef had previously qualified for two events at the St. Charles North Sectional, in the 500-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke. He swam a solid four minutes, 37.69 seconds in the freestyle, Alef also swam the 100-yard event in 51.37 seconds, taking the sectional title and producing the second-best time in the state.

AION in Lucerne
"AION – The World's Largest Rolling Ball Clock" at Bucherer in
Lucerne has been officially recognized by the
Guinness Book of Records as the
world's largest of its kind.
The World's largest rolling ball clock. At Bucherer.
Lucerne has another world-class attraction. Bucherer presents the world's largest indoor rolling ball clock. Customers and visitors can view the unique kinetic sculpture at the newly renovated store on Schwanenplatz. The clock towers up a full four stories and each floor provides an unusual new insight into a fascinating world of precision, movement and energy.
World's largest rolling ball structure in the form of a clock
Lucerne has another world-class attraction. Bucherer presents the world's largest indoor rolling ball clock. Customers and visitors can view the unique kinetic sculpture at the newly renovated store on Schwanenplatz. The clock towers up a full four stories and each floor provides an unusual new insight into a fascinating world of precision, movement and energy.
At the heart of the structure is a large clock, which is based and operates on kinetic principles and contains a collection of highly complex mechanisms. At the watch's periphery, rolling glass spheres – which are continuously in motion – indicate the seconds, minutes, quarters and hours in an impressive spectacle depicting time.
The installation springs to life at one-second intervals. Spheres roll continuously through a plane consisting of spirals as far as the big clock. Thanks to kinetic energy, the spheres find their way through the channels at high speed until they reach the enormous chapter ring. One sphere is captured by the ring each minute until, finally, 60 spheres add up an hour. The equilibrium between the racing glass spheres is provided by a gigantic illuminated crystal ball, which oscillates on two glittering channels at quarter-hourly intervals.
The mechanical components are precision aligned to each other and combine to create a fascinating time-keeping system: it is precise, self-contained, and infinite. In a very real sense, then, the sculpture reflects the qualities that set Bucherer apart: reliability, uniqueness, value, precision and quality.
The astonishing installation extends upwards to take in all four floors of the store and is 11.6 meters in height and 6 meters wide. Inside the entire system there are 150 crystal spheres of 30, 40 and 150 millimeters in diameter moving through 297.8 meters of track. The sheer dimension of the project prompted the artists behind it to apply for an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.
Precision craftsmanship
The idea of installing an exclusive clock sculpture in the renovated Bucherer store was born in the company's own workshops and, through a process of liaison with Creative Circle GmbH in Bern, resulted in the commissioning of the rolling ball clock. The worldwide interest from artists working with kinetic forces to design a ball track on this scale was enormous. In the end, the job of conceiving and producing the world's largest rolling ball clock was entrusted to Swiss-born Hanns-Martin Wagner and a German, Mark Bischof.
Dyed-in-the-wool aesthetes that they are, the two of them enthusiastically set to work with the ambitious goal of uniting elegance, perfection and attention to detail in a work of art. The feasibility studies for the project started in spring 2006. After this intensive planning phase, the two artists looked into the viability of making a ball track on his scale and of this precision. In the end, after a construction and installation phase lasting about a year – all the parts and components are unique and have to be precision-made by hand – the sculpture went into operation to mark the opening of Bucherer's new sales outlet.
Kinetic art
Kinetic art is a form of artistic expression in which the motion of a mechanism is an integral aesthetic component of the work of art in question. A transparent design that allows viewers to observe the mechanism at work is a central aspect of kinetic sculptures, which were particularly popular in the 1960s.
The pre-modernist origins of kinetic art go back all the way to the artistically crafted mechanical apparatus and aesthetic water features of the Baroque period. Its best-known protagonists in the modern age are Alexander Calder (1898-1976), with his stables and mobiles, and Jean Tinguely (1925-1991), who created whimsical working machines from scrap metal. In rolling ball sculptures the effect of gravity on spheres is used to demonstrate motion. The simplest of all ball tracks is the path described by a free-falling sphere.
A fascinating fusion of art and technology
Creative Circle GmbH
Creative Circle GmbH is a leading communications agency from Bern with enormous expertise in the watch and jewelry sector. The agency dreams up, develops and realizes two- and three-dimensional communication ideas. It was a brainstorming session that produced the idea and the concept for the world's biggest rolling ball clock.
Hanns-Martin Wagner
Hanns-Martin Wagner specializes in rolling ball systems and mechanisms. In 2006, he created an interactive rolling ball sculpture standing seven meters high for the Children's Museum in Amman, Jordan. As the founder of Sinneswerkstatt GmbH he now has a network of artists and specialists that enables him to satisfy a wide range of customer needs.
He builds, sells and rents out exhibits for museums, corporations, institutions, advertising and events. The company specializes in rolling ball systems of all sizes, kinetic objects and automata.
Mark Bischof (1958, Duisburg)
Following a career in music that taught him the importance of disciple and imagination, Mark Bischof discovered his passion for working with wood and mechanical objects in 1989. He embarked upon years of woodworking experimentation and created a string of artistic objects before finally discovering his vocation in the creation of moving ball systems and sculptures powered by gravity.
The rolling ball clock is his second project with Hanns-Martin Wagner. His work has even made it as far as Hollywood: replicas of his sculptures feature in Fracture (2007), a movie starring Anthony Hopkins.

Today in the Bloggernacle: NBA star Blake Griffin shares President Uchtdorf quote and a blogger meets President Monson
Sin differently: "You might be a Mormon if you've seen this quote before, or you might be one of NBA super-star Blake Griffin's 188K Instagram followers. Yesterday, Blake Griffin shared an image of a version of a quote by Mormon church leader, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, from his April 2012, LDS general conference talk, 'The Merciful Obtain Mercy.'" So explains the Sistas in Zion in this fun post about how "NBA's Blake Griffin Pubs a Mormon Quote." I think my favorite thing about it all is the missionary hashtag someone included on the thread: #haveyouheardoftheLDSchurch(Mormon). Awesome.
Family history: Did you miss the 2012 Family History and Genealogy Conference held earlier this month at BYU? No problems, this genealogist recounts "Some Things I Learned at the BYU FH&Gen Conf," including these interesting tidbits: "FamilySearch Family Tree is the new interface for 'new FamilySearch.' They reported that nFS needs to be removed as soon as possible after FS Family Tree has all the capabilities since you can change some things in FS FT that can't be changed in nFS, so if you make changes in FS FT, they don't show in nFS. If you delete something in FS FT, it may still show in nFS. You can now add source URL's in FS FT and edit relationships there, but you can't in nFS. To access FS FT you use your LDS account and sign up (just need to do this once) at familysearch.org/invite/familytree_tab. Then when you go to www.familysearch.org and sign in with your LDS account you see a new tab called "Family Tree" which shows your data in the new format. You can edit your temple ordinance requests in FS FT, but you still have to initiate them in nFS. And "Jill Crandall, director of the BYU Center for Family History and Genealogy, is producing a new program (beta test soon) called ResearchTies that helps with research logs and sources. The URL is ResearchTies.com." Fascinating! Check out his entire list.
President Monson: In honor of President Thomas S. Monson's birthday celebration tonight, I thought I'd find a blogger's testimony of the prophet. I found a delightful one called "Meeting President Monson." Click in to see what happened!

Former UBS Executives to Start London Commodities Hedge Fund
Neal Shear, who spent 25 years at Morgan Stanley, and Jean Bourlot, former commodities head at UBS AG (UBSN), are starting Higgs Capital Management LLP, a commodities hedge fund in London.
The fund will cover energy, agriculture and metals, Bourlot said by phone from London today. Shear will be chief executive officer and Bourlot will be chief investment officer, he said. Neville Atha, who joins from Jabre Capital Partners, will be chief operating officer.
Commodity hedge funds raised an estimated $1.33 billion in the first two months of 2012 and assets under management stood at $85.1 billion as of Feb. 29, according to eVestment|HFN, a New York-based research company. Investors in raw materials tracked by the Standard & Poor's GSCI index got a total return of 8.4 percent in January and February as copper and oil rallied, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"Commodity funds haven't necessarily attracted more new allocations, but have grown at a faster rate," than other funds, said Peter Laurelli, vice president at eVestment. "The interest in the group comes from investors wanting exposure to hard assets and a decline in interest in directional equity exposures. Commodity funds have grown at a faster rate in 2012."
Shear left UBS in March 2011 after about a year as head of the bank's global securities business, and Bourlot was head of commodities at UBS through December. Before that, Bourlot was head of agricultural trading at Morgan Stanley.

6:00am Saturday 2nd November 2013
By Bill Tanner
A WAR hero buried far from the homeland he fought for has a fitting grave again – as an inspiration to a new generation.
Brigadier-General Stanislaw Jozef Kozicki was one of Poland's top army commanders when his country was invaded by Nazi Germany in 1939. He died at the Polish resettlement camp in Baron's Cross, Leominster, in 1948 to be buried at the town's cemetery.
Volunteers from the town joined helping hands from the county's Polish community to get the grave back to its best on Saturday.
Other volunteers tended to the Polish graves at Credenhill on the day.
Another seven senior Polish officers from the Second World War are also said to be buried in Leominster having died at Baron's Cross camp.
Emilia Kozial, of Hereford's Polish Saturday School, hoped the stories behind the graves could be the start of studies by a new generation into Polish settlement in the county after the Second World War.
A visit to the site of Foxley Camp – from which many of the county's long-established Polish community can trace their roots – is already planned.
A seasoned solder, Brig- Gen Kozicki commanded the Polish army's armoured forces as Blitzkrieg broke across the country's borders in 1939.
With Poland defeated he was interned in Romania then handed over to the Germans as a prisoner of war.
Before the war broke out he had seen his family murdered by his own manservant.
On release, Brig Gen Kozicki headed for England as Communism threw its iron curtain over Poland.
Baron's Cross camp was a base for the Polish Resettlement Corps, a holding unit for members of the Polish armed forces who did not want to return to a Poland under the communists.

Alucard really hates clothes shopping with Maria.
Haha definitely the 2nd best episode in my opinion, the best being the 2nd one. Alucard should have just used mist though lol. It's disappointing that this is the last episode he made and since this was made like 5 years ago, it's unlikely he's going to make another. But, it was hilarious none the less. What the hell, as I was writing this review I had the thing open and I heard a weird noise so I scrolled up to see what it was and THE DUCK HUNT DOG WAS PISSING ON ALUCARD'S GRAVE!?! XD
Overall, pretty good, definitely an improvement over the last.
Holy Fuck
I laughed SO HARD watching this! Definitely one of the best sprite movies I've ever seen. The poorly edited voices were even better!
You need to make these longer, though.
Im still waiting.
For the tear breaking episode where Alucard reunites with his dad.

The trailer for Taken 2 is here. For those of you who haven't seen Taken yet,
you probably should, because it's an action movie that got Liam Neeson reestablished
as a hard-edged action hero. And it's a really intense, action flick. Loved the original (although this trailer promises
the same sort of ride more or less):

Yup this. Liam Neeson raping motherfuckers. Do want. |
im_stardust | Jun 22 2012, 05:16 am EDT | |
A very, very dumb movie with laughable scenes. A retarded version of Bourne Ultimatum which was also retarded. The ex-whatever dude go and saves his daughter. Can't get more cliche than that. Plus Arnold Schwarzenegger already saved his daughter and killed all the kidnappers in COMMANDO, 30 years ago. You really have to be a dried up vegetable on life support and almost brain dead to enjoy this movie. |

Have you seen the top five throat chops by Liam Neeson? |
im_stardust | Jun 22 2012, 05:26 am EDT | |
And anyway, this ex-agent or whatever is smart enough to track down his daughter but not smart enough to figure out that she's actually a whore and she likes to suck a dick. A shame, the movie could have ended with a big bang, a gang bang. |

Well, revenge/retribution-flicks are definitely low-brow entertainment. But they can be entertaining, I suppose. The same way an occasional fast-food splurge can be gratifying. Still rolling my eyes a bit at this getting a sequel, though. Oh, poor poopsie Head Bad Guy, your embarrassingly incompetent scumbag sons got their ass handed to them by one old man, poor you. Better stop everything you're doing, risk your family business further, and take revenge! |

Liam Neeson is so old he can prolly not even get it up anymore without any Viagra and needs to get his diapers changed every two hours. Might as well set up camp in front of a retirement home instead of watching this shit. Same kind of "action". |

Liam Neeson succeeds only when coupled with his greatest strength, his beard. it's the source of his power, think about it, you know it to be true. |

A community group has urged organisations working in the Fishwick and St Matthew's wards of Preston to take advantage of 'quick win' pots of funding of up to £500.
The inner east area of the city was among nine North West communities allocated £1m of funding through a Big Lottery Fund (BIG) scheme.
Residents themselves are able to decide how to spend the money to improve the two areas over 10 years.
The Friends of Fishwick and St Matthew's community group has launched an initiative to find out how the Big Local grant should be spent.
Last month people visiting the Hesketh Arms in New Hall Lane were asked to put stickers next to themes to help them prioritise local issues that need funding, in return for a donation to charity.
Employment, housing, empty buildings, green space, traffic problems and poverty were among the issues being considered for the plan.
However, in the meantime, 'quick win' grants are available, with the deadline for applications tomorrow at 5pm.
Dave Morgan, Big Local representative, said: "We're holding a meeting of our sub group on Monday to look at the first round of applications and make decisions about who is going to get that money.
"If we don't allocate all of it we will advertise for a second round at some point.
"It's a way of engaging people because one of the conditions of these grants is that the groups get members involved in telling us what they want."
Danny Walsh, the Friends of Fishwick and St Matthew's community development worker, said they had received around 15 applications so far.
He said: "These grants could fund equipment, activities or trips out."

By editor
Jamie King's NFL dreams never took off, but he got a second chance when he was asked to coach the Fredericksburg Generals, a little-known team in Virginia. He talks with guest host Jacki Lyden about helping a group of misfits become champions, and how it changed his life in the process. King is profiled in this week's The Washington Post Magazine.

Anyone here using an intelliskin?
I'm thinking of getting one to improve posture when riding to avoid back ache. Wondering if anyone has ever tried one
Do you have any pre-existing back problems?
I do. I have herniated discs. Been riding with them for the last three years.
In that case, I think some extra support could be helpful. I would still exercise to specifically strengthen your abdominal area. A strong core will support you're back the most. So what I'm saying is don't rely on the intelliskin but I think it will help.
Oh ok. Yeah I'm currently seeing a physical therapist plus I have a trainer that my therapist works with to make sure I'm doing the right exercises. Core strength building / TRX type stuff. I have to be consistent with it or I'll fall back to my back aches like I'm dealing with currently. Hoping I get better by season start
Good luck man!!!!!!! |
Yeah I think the advice above is excellent. I remember when I injured my back about 14 years ago, my doc basically told me to just strengthen it. I know each injury is different but physio is a really good thing when done right.
That said, I ride with full upper body armour including spine protection. Doesn't really add any stiffness or support, but it could help protect you from a blunt force injury to the area... :dunno: |
Thanks again and hope you are feeling better. |
Mind me asking what you're using for armour as well? I was thinking of going that route to be on the safe side |
I`ve been using the Demon Flex Force Pro upper armour... Works for me :yahoo: |

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION This rich dark gingerbread stout entices with the aromas of the holidays. The flavor of gingerbread comes alive, beginning with the smooth sweetness and heartiness of dark roasted malts and a touch of wheat. But its the intensity and spices of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, & ginger that add a wicked kick for a jolly playful brew full of merry mischief.

By all accounts, Bill Scripps has been a superb, even inspirational band teacher in the Minneapolis Public Schools for the past 24 years. When budget cutbacks caused the schools where Scripps teaches to consider dropping band as an elective course two years ago, parents sprang to action. At Seward Montessori, they solicited private donations and organized a carnival and silent auction to raise $15,000 in each of the past two years. Parents at Pillsbury and Bryn Mawr also chipped in money and agitated for their school officials to... More >>>

The Stallions departed having won 11 conference titles during the 2012-13 school year — their final year before moving up to the East Central 2-A Conference.
Southwest offers 14 varsity sports with tennis being the only sport not available at the school.
Not too bad.
"I doubt anybody in the state has done that," athletic director and head football coach Phil Padgett said of the 11 titles. "There might be someone somewhere, but the kind of sports year we had … I have never even heard of that."
The Stallions won CPC crowns in football, boys' soccer, volleyball, boys' track and field, girls' track, boys and girls cross country, wrestling, boys' golf, girls' soccer and softball.
The football and boys' soccer teams also won state titles.
Southwest's 11 league titles allowed the school to win the Wells Fargo Conference Cup for the CPC for the third time in four years. The school finished seventh overall in the state 1-A standings.
"We've done well," Padgett said. "I think more this year than ever I didn't think we had what you could call great athletes. We had outstanding athletes, but I don't think they were at the level where you went, 'Wow.'
"We just had a bunch of real good ones. I never felt we had one kid who was a dominant player. We had several kids that just made the team good."
Padgett also said 13 of 14 sports made the playoffs.
"I'm sure that's been done before, but no one had a year like we had," he said.
Soccer coach John Sweeney said it was "exciting" for his teams to contribute to the Stallions' athletic success.
Before leading SWO to its first boys' soccer title in the fall, Sweeney led the girls' soccer team to three consecutive state final trips from 2010 to 2012, with the Stallions winning it all in the first and third appearances.
"It's an exciting thing for the Southwest community, which really supports all of us," Sweeney said. "It's cool to be able to bring some trophies back."
The wrestling team actually got a trophy after sharing the CPC title with
"It was the first time we ever won the conference championship," wrestling coach Charlie Dempsey said. "Every fall sport we had won it and it felt great that our team was able to follow suit. It was something I brought up to the team that we had something special going on and that we wanted to keep it going and not be the ones to win it."
Padgett thinks the different athletic teams fed off one other.
It started with the boys' soccer team winning conference and state and continued with the football team doing the same and then other squads finding success in the conference and during the playoffs.
"In the springtime, we told some of the kids, 'Look, we want the Wells Fargo Cup,'" Padgett said. "We don't play tennis and so we are already behind the 8-ball, so do your part. A lot of the kids did their part and the coaches really worked hard to make sure they weren't the reason we didn't win it."
And the Stallions eventually won it.
"It means something to me," Padgett said.
