The Forest Lord #12; by Tucker McCallahan:
A dozen of the armored human guards lay dead in the road. Of the remaining dozen, half of those wouldn't survive their injuries. The other half were equally divided between being struck dumb and useless with gibbering fear, and being so overwhelmed by the death of their comrades that they were unable to do anything but stare vacantly into space. Only T'Riss, Jhul, Iym, and the three women in the carriage were unharmed, though one of the women's hair had turned pure white, just like Smoke's sister Justina before she died.
The lady in question, a girl of no more than fifteen, gasped when she gazed at her reflection in a small square of mirrored silver. Her reaction drew the attention of one of the dazed guards, who was doing his best to drain a damaged wine cask. He gasped as well, and leveled a shaking finger at her with great drama.
"You're next!" he moaned. "The demon beast has marked you as its next victim!"
The girl blinked and then began to cry hysterically at a volume that shook the trees.
Smoke, weak from being recently healed of a grievous wound, shared a look of pure understanding with T'Riss. Dangerous predators other than their current enemy lived in the Adintana Forest. With the number of dead scattered about the road, the scent of blood weighing heavy on the air, and injured prey still available for easy picking, the last thing they needed was a child crying. Slavering beasts would be upon them before they had time to regroup.
Smoke sighed. He didn't relish being the bad guy but he'd play the role to save lives. He slowly stood, testing his newly healed leg. But before he could approach the wailing girl, the older woman who had demanded they continue when the fog came up hauled off and slapped the crying girl. Her head snapped back with the force of the blow.
"Stop your wailing!" the older lady hissed. "You're going to get us all killed." She straightened her dress and looked at T'Riss. "We're turning back. Your family is welcome to come with us."
T'Riss bowed his head to her. "You are very generous, but we cannot. We must continue east."
"As you will."
"My man and I will assist in turning your carriage." T'Riss gestured at the mayhem and wreckage. "It is not wise to remain here."
"My thanks."
She guided the subdued girl and the other lady back into the carriage. Smoke limped up to T'Riss.
"Do you think they'll make it?"
"I do not know." T'Riss beckoned Iym and Jhul to him. "Are any of the guards able to be healed enough to accompany them?"
The two priestesses glanced at each other, confusion and astonishment flickering across their faces.
"I-I… don't understand." Iym frowned and stepped closer, lowering her voice so nobody would overhear her speaking to T'Riss. "Arisa, do you mean to have us use our goddess-given abilities to heal… humans?"
"What did Jhulryna just do?" T'Riss gestured angrily at Smoke. His limp lessened as he walked around clearing bodies from the road with several of the uninjured guards who he'd cajoled and bullied into helping him.
"That was different," Jhul snapped, her arms folded under her breasts.
For a moment Jhul had no answer. Her eyes shot from T'Riss to Smoke, and followed the very handsome gunslinger as he ordered the surviving guards around. His newly healed bare leg was on display for all to see as he hadn't yet changed out of the damaged leathers. His flesh was extraordinarily pale next to the dark leather, his healed thigh muscle bulging with every step he took. Jhul swallowed hard, her eyelashes fluttering wildly, and then her chin came up, her face taking on its classic arrogance.
"I owed him a life debt."
T'Riss prepared to face off against the two females, but a tingle along his senses stopped him.
"My mate… I'm well. I'll return to you in a moment. Ilztafay got spooked and teleported us free of the forest. I've convinced her to return for you, so be gentle with her. I love you my mate."
The message spell faded, and Zakn'yl's voice vanished from the private pathway in T'Riss's mind reserved only for his mate.
A tremendous sense of relief and gratitude overcame T'Riss. It took every ounce of his prodigious self-control not to sit down in the center of the roadway and simply weep for joy that his mate was alive and unharmed.
"Arisa?" Iym frowned, staring at him.
T'Riss ignored her and stalked over to Smoke. "How many guards are able to accompany them?"
"Two, perhaps three." Smoke fished a rolled cigarillo from a belt pouch and lit it with his flint. "The others have to stay here and guard the wagons and dead until help arrives."
T'Riss nodded silently as he squinted, gazing around. They had stacked the dead in rows off the side of the road like some kind of morbid display.
Smoke followed his glance. "There's no time and not enough men to bury them all. Did you want me to order them burned?"
"Think. This many dead? Burning them would smell like the world's biggest barbeque. We'd have beasts everywhere." T'Riss couldn't keep the derision from his voice.
"I don't see how it could be any worse than the way it smells with blood and shit everywhere!" Smoke growled.
"Don't test me; I'm not in a teasing mood."
"And I am? A black unicorn nearly took my leg off less than an hour ago." Smoke bit the words off and stepped closer to T'Riss. "I'm definitely feeling a need to fight something." He deliberately looked T'Riss up and down. "You'll do."
"Arrogant human." T'Riss's katana made no noise as he whipped it clean of its sheath. "You would be dead if not for our healing." T'Riss bit the words out through clenched teeth.
From off in the distance, hooves pounded the ground. The sound stopped the two males and drew shouts and screams from the rest of the assemblage. Everyone scrambled to prepare for another attack.

- A Conversation about the Beginning of My Journey
Hey friends! I wanted to blog this, because I feel like if I just share it on Instagram, I will lose the link to this a year from now, and I love it so much that I want it to be in my archives! My good friend Tyler Herrinton has launched something that I think has been stirring in him for a long time. He LOVES talking about Tech and helping others understand the tools of this industry. However, he also loves sharing about business, and so this new project is perfect for him!!! I'm excited, because I was asked to be the VERY first guest on the "Tech with Ty" PODCAST!
Woohoo! So what do we talk about?!
Well, the question SHOULD be, what do we NOT talk about! Ha ha, I'm kidding… but it is long for a podcast! The reason is, Tyler is a close friend, but our relationship didn't start that way! He followed the beginning of my journey from a distance. He refers to those days as his "KJ Fan Girl" days, and I just think that's hilarious!!!
However, because he followed my business and my journey so closely and then became one of our closest friends here in Richmond, he has a VERY different perspective on our life and our business than the rest of the world, and THAT made for a GREAT discussion!
Enjoy "Tech with Ty" … the KJ edition!!! :)
This was so beneficial to listen to! I'm definitely always in that "finding more" boat as well!
Great interview! It's great to hear where other people started.
This is the kind of manual that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that's at the other blogs.
Beautiful site you have. It looks amazing and I appreciate everything you have added to my knowledge base. Thanks!

The Rough Guide to Afrobeat Revolution (World Music Network RGNET 1222CD, 2009)
Tony Allen – Secret Agent (World Circuit WCD082, 2009)
I'm not a trend spotter even as far as world music is concerned, so I don't know if the current interest in Afrobeat is still the one that came about following the 1997 death of Fela Kuti or some sort of second wave. Or third, or whatever. One things for sure: there's never been more bands worldwide playing music influenced by Fela, who created Afrobeat in the late '60s by blending African rhythms with funk, soul, jazz and an attitude that was as anti-commercial as it was anti-establishment.
For proof of just how widespread Afrobeat is nowadays, look no further than the fact that World Music Network's new Rough Guide to Afrobeat Revolution includes 11 artists while giving a written shout out to more than twice as many who couldn't be included. But I'm not here to harp about who's absent from this collection. I'd much rather mention that if you're looking for a starting point as to what Afrobeat is all about, this is the best primer I've heard since Shanachie's release Afrobeat… No Go Die! back in 2000.
Kicking off with Ottawa's Souljazz Orchestra blazing through a satisfyingly Fela-esque romp, the disc never falters in its lineup of bands who get the job done whether sticking close to the Kuti formula, sonically leaning a bit closer to African roots or adding contemporary subtleties without losing potency.
Artists from both west (The Afromotive, Albino!, Dennis Ferrer) and east (Lekan Babalola, Fanga, Ruth Tafebe and the Afrorockerz) have a go, and like all good Afrobeat, the grooves are just as essential as the socially conscious lyrics. Militant drums and percussion, funky bass, tart keyboards and guitars and attention-seizing horns are plentiful on this killer collection, which both Afrobeat beginners and veteran listeners will want to savor again and again. And in case that's not enough, you also get a bonus CD of tunes by Kaleta & Zozo Afrobeat, a New York City-based band led by a singer and player who performed with both Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade in the '80s. Kaleta puts his own innovative spin on Afrobeat, epitomized by a song that's on both the main and bonus platters: "Get Up," a monster jam that takes its cue from the Wailers' "Get Up, Stand Up."
Fela Kuti is credited with creating the style, but fellow Nigerian Tony Allen (who's included on the Rough Guide) was and is the heartbeat of Afrobeat. Allen was the drummer in Kuti's band Koola Lobitos, which began blending jazz and highlife in 1965, a few years before embarking on a shoestring U.S. tour during which Kuti absorbed the soul and funk influences he later folded into the Afrobeat recipe when the group returned to Nigeria and was renamed Africa 70. Kuti ruled the band with an iron fist but had the good sense to allow Allen to compose his own drum parts and generally be the co-architect of the Afrobeat sound.
Allen made albums under his own name both with Africa 70 and after leaving them in 1979, and 2009 finds him still ruling as Africa's reigning master of the drum kit. Drawing from the fundamentals of every sort of music that formed the foundation for Afrobeat and adding the pure syncopation that's been part of African drumming for all time, Allen plays in, out of and around the rhythmic core of a song like nobody else, adding deftly smooth accents, fills and punctuation while keeping a constant sense of forward motion.
His new release Secret Agent isn't an album only for drummers, though. It's a mighty, sizzling slice of Afrobeat that carries on in a less traditionally African but no less brilliant manner than his 2006 masterwork Lagos No Shaking. Recorded in Lagos and Paris and mixed in London, Secret Agent ("Another One From the Underground Sensation" as the front cover and a passage in the lyrics cryptically proclaim) may well be the defining work of Allen's long career. Never losing its basic Afrobeat sensibility, the album ranges in feel from melancholic to absolutely joyful through exemplary work from a skilled crew of singers and players including keyboardist Fixi, who did the arrangements.
This isn't the vintage Afrobeat Allen helped invent 40 years ago. This is that same Afrobeat brought vibrantly to new life today. The title track, a layered meditation with lead vocals by Allen himself (who composed all the music on the album and clearly does not think only in drummer's terms) signals the start of a disc that just gets bigger and bigger, rolling through the jubilance of "Celebrate," the accordion-laced (!) jauntiness of "Busybody," late night jazz overtones on "Nina Lowo" and so very much more. It's Allen who gets the last word, singing the lead vocal of "Elewon Po" ("Too Many Prisoners") with dry authority as his drums effortlessly, magically steer a song that reprises a melodic hook from his 1975 album Jealousy. I can't recommend Secret Agent highly enough. It would be criminal to keep such a towering album a secret.

Using technology to improve football
Understanding what footballers do in a match and then planning the training that players need, used to be down to the views of the manager and his coaches. The choices that they made were usually a result of their own instincts. In recent years scientific information has increased our knowledge about what players actually do in games.
Premier League stadiums are now fitted with sophisticated camera systems that can track the activities completed by all 22 players on the pitch. From these images, the amount of walking, jogging, running and sprinting can be measured and analysed.
The majority of the 10-12km that players will cover will be done using movements that are low in intensity (e.g. walking and jogging). Sprints and running make up less of the total but are really important as all of the key events of the games are done when the players are moving fast. The specific skills that players do are also important, although these are smaller in number than you think as players spend most of their time trying to move to get the ball or win it back for their team.
Modern technology has also been applied to the day to day training that players complete to help guide the type and amount of exercise that players should do between matches. Such modern technologies include things such as global positioning systems (GPS) and heart rate monitors. GPS is especially used if you are interested in the types of movements that are included in training.
In addition to distance data you can see how many accelerations, decelerations and changes in direction that each player completes. Heart rate can show us how the body is actually responding to movements that the players are doing. This is really important as training sessions that are too hard will reduce the energy levels of individuals and lead to them not being prepared for the games.
You can read more about the research behind the use of GPS in sports here: gpsports.com/
But it's not only the footballers who are using technology to improve their game, it is actually being used more and more to make sure the referee makes the correct decisions. Goal-line technology could soon be used in all games to determine when the ball has completely crossed the goal line. Nine systems are currently being tested in different stadiums throughout Europe with all testing being completed by March 2012. If FIFA allow goal-line technology to be used it could be applied by the 2012 World Cup in Brazil.

The preceding post is not an endorsement of negative campaigning by any Democratic candidate. That is a tactic required by the moral bankruptcy of the other side.
The vote so far demonstrates that almost as many Democratic voters favor one candidate as the other.
Now I would rather see the reasons to vote for a nominee rather than reasons, sometimes spurious, to vote against a candidate.
The world is indeed a vicious place in which violence is endemic. What I want to know is what the nominee plans to do in office to mitigate that fact.

What Can Be Done For Scoliosis In Adults?
The short answer to what can be done for scoliosis in adults is a lot, but it's important to understand the concepts behind the treatment.
Finally, there are solutions for adult scoliosis that do more than just mask your symptoms with medications. These treatments work to reduce the underlying cause of the pain, the collapse of the spine. These treatments work together to help naturally restore your body's motion, stability and balance and have helped thousands of other adults with scoliosis relieve their pain and avoid scoliosis surgery.
When combined they offer you the greatest chance of improving your curvatures, even as an adult. If you are an adult with scoliosis related pain or disability it's possible that they can help you too but before we talk about these innovative solutions, let's first discuss why conventional medical treatments for adult scoliosis often falls short of producing results.
Failure of Conventional Medical Treatment for Adult Scoliosis
The biggest challenge with the conventional medical treatment approach for scoliosis in adults is other than surgery, treatment is pretty much just a palliative approach with pain medications that only temporarily mask the symptoms but does not address the underlying cause of the problem.
If that does not work then a referral for physical therapy for scoliosis or chiropractic is often made but in most cases the exercise treatment provided is bilaterally, which means that they do the same treatment or exercise on both sides of the body. The problem with that is scoliosis has such a profound muscular imbalance that treating it in a balanced way does not improve it and may actually aggravate your scoliosis. For instance, you can do one exercise that will open up the curvature, which is good for scoliosis but if you do the exact same exercise in the opposite direction it can actually make your curve worse!
The next step in the medical model is a referral to an orthopedic specialist for a scoliosis surgery consultation. However, since scoliosis surgery is such a major procedure often surgeon's are reluctant to do surgery on adults because of the poor outcomes due to the reduced flexibility of their body and longer recovery time. So surgery is usually held as the treatment of last resort for adults and is only considered when their pain is intractable.
So what other options are available for scoliosis in adults to help reduce the pain caused by curvatures to the spine? To better understand these options it is essential to first have some knowledge of the important features that contribute to the progression of scoliosis in adults.
When Does Scoliosis Start In Adults?
Although you may have never had any symptoms from your curves until later in life, most adults have had their scoliosis since their adolescence. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis accounts for 85% of all scoliosis cases, but it is often asymptomatic in youth, which is why many cases may go completely un-diagnosed until later in life when the spine degenerates and causes pain in adulthood.
When scoliosis begins the body is often able to adapt to the abnormal changes in the spine because the body has many overlapping systems of support that help local tension to be dispersed throughout the body, so that if one system fails the others will take up the slack to support the body. However, over time these other support systems may also begin to fail under the collapse of the strain and this eventually leads to pain.
Scoliosis can also start in adulthood and is known as Degenerative Scoliosis or Adult Onset Scoliosis. This type of scoliosis usually occurs after menopause due to bony changes in the vertebra that leads to collapse and the same type of progressive downward spiral that occurs in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Scoliosis Progression in Adults
What causes progression of scoliosis? Progression of scoliosis curves in adults can result from a number of factors depending on the type of progression that occurs. There are two types of scoliosis progression that occur in adulthood. Rapid progression which is hormonally influenced and Gradual Progression which is caused by uneven forces applied to an imbalanced body by gravity.
Rapid Scoliosis Progression
Scoliosis, especially in females can change rapidly during times of life where there is a significant shifts in hormonal balance that has an impact the bone growth, ligament strength and bone density.
For a woman with scoliosis there are 3 times in her life that she is at the greatest risk for rapid progression of her scoliosis and they all involve sudden shift in hormonal changes.
1. Puberty
2. Pregnacy
3. Menopause
Puberty has the added stressor of a period of rapid growth that can cause a sudden progression of scoliosis. Pregnancy has bio-mechanical stressors of a rapidly changing center of gravity in the 3rd trimester combined with the mix of the hormone Relaxin that causes ligamentous laxity in the pelvis to allow for passage of the baby. Relaxin doesn't just affect the ligaments of the pelvis, it affects all the ligaments of the spine, thus can cause progression of scoliosis if a woman is doing nothing to support her spine. Menopause causes demineralization of the spine which can result in sudden bony changes in the spine due to osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Gradual Scoliosis Progression
Also, for scoliosis curves that have advanced to 30° or more in adolescence have a greater risk of slow progression into adulthood at a rate of about 1° per year, which can add up over time. This type of progression occurs due to gravity taking advantage of the postural imbalances caused by the shift in weight by scoliosis. The greater the movement is away from the midline, the greater the imbalance, the harder the body has to work just to hold itself up.
Supporting An Adult Spine With Scoliosis
Addressing the biomechanical abnormalities in order to stabilize the spine is key to successfully stopping the progressive deterioration of scoliosis in an adult and relieving it's associated pain. Every scoliosis has both a structural component and a postural component. Since an adult is done growing the structural component is relatively stationary and cannot be changed, but the postural component, which is the collapse of the spine over time is quite changeable in an adult. The postural component can be up to 20% of the total curve and it usually the part of the curve that causes pain in adulthood.
Postural collapse occurs in scoliosis due to the significant right to the left imbalance in the trunk. This can be seen when you look at your back and you see the muscles on the outside of the curve are bulged out and tight because they are straining to hold the body up, while the muscles on the other side are flattened and weakened.
Fortunately, in most cases of adult scoliosis, the postural component of scoliosis can be improved with conservative treatment and that helps the body move back towards the mid-line which in most cases helps relieve the pain.
How Movement Affects Spinal Structure Over Time
Studies done at the Katharina Schroth Spinal Deformities Rehabilitation Center in Germany have shown that scoliosis patients have abnormal movement patterns that greatly contribute to scoliosis causes. If these aberrant movement patterns stay in place long enough they begin to adversely affect the person's entire posture. When postural changes stay uncorrected they will eventually cause structural changes in the body that lead to further aberrant movement patterns. This downward spiral is commonly found in scoliosis and must be corrected to avoid a future of pain and disability.
Degeneration occurs in the body's attempt to stabilize the abnormal structure of the spine caused by scoliosis. The degenerative changes in the bone and subsequent nerve irritation are what causes the pain. They will continue to progressively worsen and cause more pain unless something is done to stabilize the spine.
Poor posture is to a scoliosis patient what sugar is to diabetic, a huge problem. Unfortunately, it is not as easy as telling someone with scoliosis to simply sit up straight. The abnormal muscle patterns have been developing over years and are not that easily overcome. In scoliosis muscles and the surrounding connective tissues have shortened to adapt to the changes in the structure of the spine. These shortened tissues (blue) are less elastic and less freely movable compared to the other side, which is lengthened (red).
The chronic changes in tension of the muscle chains have also resulted in what is known as plastic remodeling and results in deforming of the surrounding connective tissues. This further binds up the affected tissues causing localized hypoxia of the structures.
Since the tissues are not getting enough oxygen theses structures eventually adapt producing tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. As this scar tissue builds up it ties down the structures keeping them from moving freely, muscles become even shorter, tension on tendons and bones causes deformation of the skeleton causing nerves to become trapped and eventually causing pain.
In order to reverse this process and make postural corrections and finally rebalancing the muscular components involved in scoliosis it is important that you first make changes in the structural components of the body that have been adversely affected by scoliosis. This process of restoring structural integrity and proper function to the body is a concept called "retracing". It involves taking the body back through the same pathway it took to get where it is today, just in reverse. Starting at the end (i.e.: a progressive scoliosis curve) and working backwards toward a more balances spinal structure is a process we call Structural Re-balancing. Our non-surgical scoliosis treatment alternatives are all designed to help the body restore its structural balance.
Corrective Movement Therapy For Scoliosis In Adults
In order to help correct the progressive collapse of a scoliosis it's important to address the above issues your body's balancing systems. The following treatments are designed to encourage your body move into a corrected position to improve the postural imbalances by re-calibrate your brain awareness to this new and improved position.
Exercises for Treatment of Scoliosis in Adults
The Schroth Method is a self-help method of scoliosis treatment that was developed in Germany by Katharina Schroth who founded and developed the Schroth Method. This physiotherapeutic approach is designed to reshape the rib cage and de-rotate the spine with breathing techniques and isometric exercises. Since 1927, the Schroth Clinic for Scoliosis has accepted Scoliosis and Kyphosis patients on an in-patient basis, effectively managing the deformity associated with scoliosis without bracing or surgery.
Once a patient has learned and mastered these exercises after repeatedly doing them on a daily basis they begin to develop new and improved patterns in their nervous and muscular systems that will help improve their curvatures. There are three main upright positions patients are taught to correct are: Standing, Sitting and Walking. The focus is to teach a patient how to reduce your curvatures in each of these positions and then have you repeatedly practice these healthier, more anatomically correct positions until they become habituated into the predominant patterns of movement.
With scoliosis as the spine curves laterally the ribs on the Concave side will flattened as they move closer to each other while the ribs on the convex side will form a rib hump as they spread farther apart. The Schroth method teaches how to open up the space between the ribs on the concave side so that a person can begin the process of correcting this rib cage deformity which in turn helps correct the curvatures in the spine.
Because of years of mal alignment a mature spines require more intensive methods to re-educate movement patterns and mobilization techniques to help reshape the rib cage. The Schroth Method helps correct these chronic postural patterns by teaching the body a corrected pattern of movement that will eventually replace the old abnormal pattern.
SpineCor Adult Pain Relief Scoliosis Brace
The SpineCor dynamic bracing system has been used successfully for years in children has now been successfully adapted for treatment for adults with scoliosis. This unique patented soft flexible brace is based on a revolutionary scientific approach that was developed by Dr. Charles Hilaire Rivard and Dr. Christine Coillard, a team of orthopedic surgeons at St. Justine's Hospital in Montreal that specialize in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Although this dynamic brace moves with the body it still applies corrective forces three dimensionally where they are needed while still allowing freedom of movement. The dynamic brace consists of corrective and adjustable elastic bands which are interconnected to three static components that create a modular system. This allows physicians to customize treatment and it can be worn beneath the patients clothing.
Unlike a rigid brace, SpineCor allows for an adult to be treated without interfering with or preventing their normal daily activities. This innovative approach allows a dynamic range of activities while still correcting the curvatures.
Scoliosis in adults should be cared for by a doctor with knowledge in specialized treatment protocols in scoliosis, dynamic bracing and Schroth Method exercises. Treatment for the adult spines should be based on a comprehensive evaluation which should include an Orthopedic/Neurological examination. Recent upright X-rays and other functional assessments are also needed to evaluate other causes of pain.
Once properly evaluated and the patient has been determined to be candidate for dynamic bracing, the Spinecor Adult Brace can be fitted. This dynamic brace is designed to help relieve pain created by spinal translation by de-weighting the adult spine in areas of structural instability caused by the scoliosis. This type of corrective movement therapy can help adults of all ages.
The treatment objectives in Adult Scoliosis are to provide pain relief and to improve Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Curvature reductions can often be achieved through improved postural stability but changes in bone shape are not realistic in the adult spine. Studies of Adult Spinecor bracing by our doctors have shown reductions in Cobb angle measurements in all types of curvatures regardless of curvature location or length time the curvature has been present.
The treatment outcomes for other of our adult patients like Kathy based on satisfaction surveys confirms that the vast majority of our adult patients are very happy with the results and they strongly recommend our program to other adults with scoliosis.
The treatment protocols and schedule for wearing the SpineCor brace varies depending upon the patients scoliosis and treatment objectives.A gradual building up of time of wearing the brace is recommended as initially fatigue may limit brace use in the first few weeks of treatment, but the majority of adults find they can build up to full time wearing within the first couple of months. Most adult patients wear the SpineCor brace somewhere between 8 – 16 hours a day. They will put it on in the morning after a shower and wear it throughout the day and take it off sometime before they go to bed.
Patients who have chronic pain are typically fitted in an Adult SpineCor configuration which is designed to shift the posture of the spine and reduce pain. Changes in the brace configuration are based upon clinical measurements that are specific to each patient. Brace fittings are then designed to restrict and re-educate movement patterns are typically used in patients without pain.
The Spinecor Adult Scoliosis is indicated for use with people who either have adult onset Scoliosis or Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis in adulthood. Patients suffering from pain, fatigue or weakness as a result of scoliosis are typically considered candidates for bracing. Other indications include patients who are interested in improving the cosmetic appearance of their waist angles and ribcage. Patients with respiratory conditions that are secondary to Scoliosis may also be considered for treatment if there is no significant reduction in vital capacity or blood oxygen levels with the brace properly fitted.
The first and currently the only flexible dynamic brace for scoliosis in adults, SpineCor is most effective when curvatures are treated early; however, when used in conjunction with a comprehensive rehabilitation program, Spinecor can be effective with adults with larger curves as well.
Hip Flexor Imbalance
Scoliosis in adults is often a severe manifestation of a rotation dysfunction that can influence a lumbar scoliosis by frequently involving the powerful hip flexor muscles. If one side of your hip flexors is imbalanced compared to the other than it will pull the spine where it attaches toward that direction causing a torque in the spine that will extend all the way up causing a rotation of the spine that is characteristically found in scoliosis.
The Schroth Method uses mobilization techniques that are designed to expand the flattened areas of the ribcage, while de-rotating the spine with specific breathing exercises. The Schroth Method combined with the SpineCor brace gives a patient the best opportunity to avoid surgery for scoliosis since both are attempting to de-rotate the spine through the use of muscle memory and postural awareness, but sometimes the adaptive shortening of these muscles and other connective tissues limits how much mobility is able to be restored. In cases like that additional treatments targeted at lengthening the specific shortened structures is needed.
Active Release Techniques for Scoliosis
Specific applications of a myofascial therapy called Active Release Techniques, (A.R.T.) have been found to be very beneficial in helping lengthen the adaptively shortened tissues that can relieve the pain of scoliosis and improving bio-mechanical function of the spine. A.R.T. is the treatment of choice for relieving muscular imbalances involved in scoliosis because of its specificity for each of the involved tissues (there are over 500 specific ART moves involving the structures of the body) and we find that it produces the best results.
ART treatment is applied to help assist in correcting of the involved shortened tissues. It becomes crucial to break this abnormal neuromuscular pattern by releasing the fascial adhesions surrounding these muscles and allowing them to re-establish normal movement patterns. This achieved with ART by shortening the affected tissue then applying tension with your manual contact in the direction that lengthen the tissue or releases it allowing it to restore its normal slide relative to the adjacent tissue.
ART is effective at restoring proper biomechanical function in chronic musculoskeletal conditions, like scoliosis because it releases tissue adhesions between the muscles, fascia and nerves of the body caused by prolonged abnormal postural dysfunctions. The power of Active Release Techniques in scoliosis treatment lies in its ability to effectively resolve chronic tissue adhesions that have not responded to other forms of therapy.
Over the course of treatment a, gradual release and remodeling of the taut tissues in the shortened spiral line allows for restoration of normal muscle function in that line. Once this is achieved then the constant strain to the opposite line is relieved and body can begin the process of rebalancing. Through specific, unidirectional exercises specifically designed for scoliosis the provider can now begin to set new postural patterns that hasten the process of retracing. By first freeing up these specific adhesions these newly learned postural patterns can more easily become habit and positively impact the overall movement patterns of the body. This greatly helps stop the progression of the curves that have contributed to the scoliosis in the first place.
The old school medical model for treatment of scoliosis is really only designed to provide temporary pain relief without addressing any of the underlying causes of scoliosis. Fortunately, now there are far better solutions to help relieve your pain by re-educating the musculature surrounding the spine to move your body back towards midline where it is better balanced and does not cause strain to the supporting structures. This can provide lasting relief in your pain and allow you to enjoy to your usual activities without the fear that they will flair up your scoliosis.

Statement from President Les McCabe on Death of Fall 2012 Semester at Sea Participant
December 1, 2012
It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the loss of one of our students earlier today. Casey Schulman, a fourth-year student at the University of Virginia, was killed in a recreational boating incident in Roseau, Dominica.
The trip had been organized independently by a group of students and was not a Semester at Sea-sponsored excursion.
The Institute for Shipboard Education and senior voyage administrators are in close contact with Casey's family, the U.S. Embassy of the Eastern Caribbean, and key officials at the University of Virginia.
Grief counseling and support services have been made available to all members of the community on a 24-hour basis.
A commemorative service is planned aboard the ship tomorrow evening. The ship will depart Dominica tomorrow at 8 pm local time as planned and will return to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on Friday, December 7.
We wish to convey our condolences to Casey's family, her many friends, and those who witnessed the accident. Please join me in keeping the Schulman family in your thoughts at this very difficult time.
-President Les McCabe

Last year – to the day as it turns out – I wrote about a good and bad example of continuity in TV. If I do say so myself, I enjoyed re-reading my own blog post. The good example was NCIS and how they dealt with Tony DiNozzo leaving the show.
After many seasons I still enjoy NCIS; but that doesn't mean I am blind to the show's weaknesses. It is highly formulaic and the plots of the episodes are seldom surprising. That's not to say there isn't any suspense or the occasional plot twist which catches me unaware. What keeps me watching are the characters. After so many seasons their quirky natures and chemistry continue to be enjoyable.
Continuing on the same theme as my former post, the way the writers handle characters leaving the show is done well; much better than many other shows handle it. Season 15 of NCIS saw Abby wave farewell to her former colleagues as she left the show. As if to echo my earlier blog post comments about continuity, McGee had a phone call with Tony and DiNozzo senior popped in for a cameo visit.
After the death of MI6 agent Duane Henry, Abby decides to leave NCIS to carry on his community work. Like Tony had, Abby left on good terms, after having "nice moments" with most of the crew. Killing Abby, even if it was dying heroically, would not have been kind to the audience. And its my belief that it wouldn't fit the tone of the show. While characters do sometimes die – killing a 1-season Kate needs to handled differently than a 15-season Abby. Kate was also a field agent where danger is expected; Abby would have been more of "an innocent". Killing her off in any manner would have been traumatic and put her long-term fans offside.
Kasie, who would become Abby's replacement entered the show six episodes before Abby's departure. She entered the show as Doc Mallard's editor/writing assistant. (Incidentally, letting Mallard write a book and teach is also setting him up for a transition out of the show. It is a reward for both him and Jimmy who is my favourite "autopsy gremlin"). I've heard writing advice that says to create a twist by letting a side-plot become the main plot – and this is largely the same: a minor character transitions into a major character.
Kasie is introduced early, she builds a good rapport (if shallow) with all of the characters, and importantly shows homage to the brilliance which is Abby Scuito.
Also important, she defines herself quickly as both quirkly and different from her predecessor – which will leave many opportunities for interesting interactions with her co-stars. (Ditto that, with the introduction of the troubled Jack Sloane).
In a character-driven show it's important that we're seeing character development in both their personal and professional lives. Ellie is stepping up as a potential leader and McGee now has baby twins to deal with. Torres – well I'm not sure about Torres…
The way the writers handle introducing and departing characters is stronger than many others shows.
(In closing, I also want to mention how I wish they'd have a few more multi-episode plots. Take Vance's capture at the end of the season… I'd like to see that drawn out for at least 3 episodes… it doesn't need to be tied up in a bow after a single episode or 2. Let the characters work hard to secure his release – give me at least one try-fail cycle first).

Napp in Ala. Mississippi
There is the possibility that Stephen Napp could be the son of Jesse Napp and Cynthia Ivey. In 1850, Cynthia Ivey was with her parents & family in Choctaw Co., AL. Stephen Napp is listed with them but apparently his b. date is incorrect. See 1860 and 1900 Choctaw Co., AL census. Someone sent me info that Cynthia Ivey married Jessie Napp 5 May 1838 Sumter Co., AL. The Iveys lived in Sumter Co before they were in Choctaw Co. Other information shows that Cynthia Ivey married Joseph Mena. She is with him in 1860-1880. She had one son by Joseph Mena. Cynthia Mena is widowed in 1900. She shows to be the mother of two children, two living. This all fits in

Innovative products that are focused on healthy and active ageing can improve public health prevention programs and lead to better therapies for patients. The better these products align with end-user demands, the greater their societal and economic impact. While larger companies can perform their own wide-ranging market analyses, for SMEs it is far more difficult to acquire valid information on their end-user's needs. The Population Intelligence Lab program has identified the great potential of data and biomaterials from large population- and patient-based biobanks for innovative product development. Pointlab collects and makes accessible tools and procedures needed to promote interactions between SMEs and biobanks. Stimulating product development and enhance the societal and economic impact of biobanks and custodians of other large population datasets.
In 2018 two separate Business support Hubs will be established in the cities of Groningen (Netherlands) and Tartu (Estonia), two of Europe's biobanking
& population data hotspots. The Hubs will broker between biobank / population data custodians, and corporate entities with a
commercial interest in the custodian's facilities. The Hub clusters know-how on rules and regulations on one side (privacy & consent) and opportunities
for commercialization strategies on the other.
Following the Academia Industry Meetup (AIMday) methodology, developed by Uppsala University, two meet ups will be organized in Tartu and Groningen focusing on public private partnerships in biobanking and population health data.
In 2018 the Pointlab program will launch two business plan competitions. This will be done together with regional biobank and population data custodians. We will challenge entrepreneurs to propose a plan on how access to data and/or (biological) materials can help their product development. Separate calls will be launched that follow up on the scheduled AIM-days in Tartu and Groningen.
Population Intelligence Lab started its activities in 2017 after receiving support from the EIT Health.
Pointlab is positioned in the VALIDATE! activity line of EIT Health's Accelerator; a business creation programme, set up to support the best and brightest health industry entrepreneurs.

Do you send pictures of yourself, or do you feel too uncomfortable to do that with the recent celeb pictures being leaked?

This year our seedlings are getting their start in the laundry room on top of the warm washer and dryer! I started my seedlings alot later this year than I have in the past, but they are doing great in here! Bryan hooked our grow light from the ceiling and we set it up on a timer. The seedlings love the warmth from the dryer and it has helped them get going fast!
This year we are attempting tomato grafting! Im so excited to see the potential...or just learn from my failure, who knows :) They are MaxiFort Tomatoes and quite vigorous and disease resistant!
Oh it looks so cute and innocent right now, but I guess it will literally take over your garden if the top isnt chopped off and grated to a normal tomato plant.

Whether you're training for marathons or spending lazy summer days on the beach or by the pool, drinking enough water to stay properly hydrated can be a challenge. Since childhood we were told to drink plenty of water in order to stay hydrated in the heat. Still, the reminder is just as important now as it was back when we were running back and forth through the sprinkler.
Dehydration is no joke, and in extreme cases dehydration can even lead to fainting, heat stroke, or heart palpitations. Dehydration may also have less noticeable symptoms such as fatigue or headaches. Additionally, a well-hydrated body is more alert, has better control of appetite, and is more prepared for vigorous activities.
We've put together a list of 8 hydrating tips for you this summer:
Eat hydrating fruits
When you are tired of drinking fluids, perhaps it's time to try eating them instead. Fruits such as grapefruit, oranges, and cantaloupe are high in water content. Watermelon is about 91% water by weight! As a bonus, fruits are highly alkalizing as well.
Make your water more interesting
Are you tired of drinking plain water but you're also trying to stay away from the acidic effects and empty calories of flavored drinks? Try squeezing a lemon into it, adding a few raspberries, or even using mint leaves to give your water some much-needed variety. You can also turn regular water into high pH alkaline water by adding alkaline ph booster drops.
Have a glass of water before each meal
As well as using your meal as an 'alarm clock' for drinking water, some studies have shown that drinking a glass of water before a meal can lead to a lower consumption of calories at those meals.
Always keep a bottle of water nearby
You are much more likely to continuously drink water if you have it readily available. Take your bottle with you while exercising, at work, or relaxing at home. You may find that drinking water comes more naturally to you.
Observe the 70/70 danger zone
According to the American Heart Association, it is even more important to drink water when both temperature and humidity are above 70. This temperature-humidity combination is observed to have a much higher number of people experiencing symptoms of dehydration.
Stay away from energy drinks
While all that sugar and caffeine may boost your activity in the short run, energy drinks have been shown to have dangerous and counterproductive effects to hydration as well. The stimulants in energy drinks can increase blood pressure, which can make them dangerous for strenuous activity.
Drink often while exercising
Drink 4-6 ounces of water every 15-20 minutes of exercising, as well as plenty of water both before and after a strenuous workout. Exercise is important for keeping the body fit, and sweating can cause your body to expel waste. But while exercising is rejuvenating for the body, you will consume a lot of fluids as well. Make sure to stay hydrated during these activities!
Drink in the heat and in the cold
One advantage to the summer heat is that it makes us thirsty. However, people tend not to drink as much when they are cold or in an air-conditioned facility. When you exercise in the cold your body still sweats, but your thirst may be lowered by up to 40%!
During the summer months in particular, it is important to look for and be aware of signs of dehydration. While fainting and heat stroke are severe symptoms, watch for other signs as well. If you begin to feel dizzy, or if you do not sweat in the heat or urinate regularly, you may need to increase your fluid intake.
How many glasses of water per day is enough? Many of us remember always being told to drink 8 glasses per day, but that number is unsubstantiated! Different people require different amounts of water. Some may require fewer than 8 glasses, while someone who is very active may need to drink even more. The bottom line: be alert, be smart, and drink more water!

Pesky mice often need to be removed from the house, home and surrounding areas. There are so many options available that it can be difficult to know and choose what product is best for your space. Poisons work especially well when mice become trap wary and refuse to go into a trap. At times like these, there may be no alternative than to employ a poison to eliminate mouse infestation.
Modern poison formulas are based on either anticoagulant properties or disruption of the nervous system. Anticoagulants cause internal bleeding, and ingested, the mouse goes into shock from loss of blood, feels no pain and succumbs. Nervous system disrupters interfere with the the basic electronic controls of life. When the nervous system shuts down, so does the mouse. Care must be taken to hide the poison so that children, pets, and other wildlife don't consume it, and never distribute mouse poison unless you are wearing gloves.
The poisons on this list were chosen because they are the most effective, easy to use, and affordable. Bait packs top the list because they keep the poison contained until eaten. That means safety first for children and pets alike.
Havoc Di-Kill Pellets 373421
The Havoc Di-Kill Pelleted Products are the newest wave of anticoagulants, making them more effective. They will terminate a mouse with a single feeding or less, and the pouches are rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Read Full Review
The most modern and up-to-date anticoagulant poison made is the highly effective difenacoum Havoc Di-Kill Pelleted Products. These pellets are distributed in a small pouch that mice will gnaw through to get at, and they will succumb with only one feeding, or less. The pouches are fully labeled for safety, and they are difficult to open for kids and pets alike. Always conceal them in out-of-the-way places that are on known mouse runs for maximum safety. They respond well to Vitamin K as an antidote and the pouches can be used indoors or out.
Tomcat Mouse Killer Mouse Disposable - Kid & Dog Resistant
The Tomcat Mouse Killer Mouse Disposable - Kid & Dog Resistant is a bait station stocked with a bromethalin nerve agent poison. The bait station is kid and pet resistant, but be aware, unlike anticoagulants, there is no known antidote for this poison. It is the most effective poison available. Read Full Review
If you are looking for the safest poison and delivery system, the Tomcat Mouse Killer Mouse Disposable - Kid & Dog Resistant is the one for you. The poison is made of bromethalin which effectively poisons and disrupts the nervous system on mice. It comes in a tamper proof bait station that is resistant to both kids and pets. The clear lid allows you to see if the bait has been eaten, and when it is gone, simply dispose of the bait station. There is no known antidote for bromethalin, which is why it does not make it to the top here, but in reality, its effectiveness is second to none.
d-Con Bait Pellet Place Packs
The d-Con Bait Pellet Place Packs are made of the proven anticoagulant brodifacoum that uses Vitamin K as an antidote. One feeding will kill, the packs are readily marked for safety, and the packs are small enough to easily fit behind appliances, between walls or to be concealed on any known mouse run. Read Full Review
From a name you know and trust, d-Con Bait Pellet Place Packs will do the job in as safe and as humane way as possible. Made with the anticoagulant brodifacoum, it uses Vitamin K as an antidote, and comes in a package for maximum safety. Mice gnaw through the package to get at the bait, and although well marked as a mouse poison, always place packages in a hidden place along known mouse runs for maximum effectiveness and safety. These are one of the more expensive types on this list, but the anticoagulant has been proven to be effective after one feeding, and the small size packets make them easy to distribute behind appliances or between walls.
J.T. Eaton Peanut Butter Bait Block Rodenticide
The J.T. Eaton Peanut Butter Bait Block Rodenticide gives off the scent of peanut butter to make them even more appealing to mice. The blocks are small enough to fit in tight spaces where mice are lurking, and you can get optional bait stations for maximum safety around kids or pets. Read Full Review
Sometimes the smell is what gets the mouse to take the bait, and the J.T. Eaton Peanut Butter Bait Block Rodenticide smells like the best mouse bait in the world. Made of diphenadione, this anticoagulant responds to Vitamin K as an antidote, yet it will kill a mouse in one feeding. It comes in easy to use bait blocks that are small enough to place behind appliances or into spaces where mice may hide. You can get optional bait stations that will fully conceal the blocks for maximum safety, and always place either the blocks or the bait stations on or near known mouse runs for effectiveness.
Victor Fast-Kill Brand Disposable Bait Stations
The Victor Fast-Kill Brand Disposable Bait Stations is baited with bakery grade ingredients laced with bromethalin which disrupts and poisons the nervous system in mice. This poison is more effective, but caution must be used to hide the bait stations because there is no antidote if accidental ingestion occurs. Read Full Review
For a poison in an easy to use and disposable, the Victor Fast-Kill Brand Disposable Bait Stations is the simplest to use on this list. The active ingredient is made of bromethalin, which disrupts the nervous system in a mouse. Although the bait is concealed within the bait station, it is not tamper proof, and caution must be used to conceal or hide this poison because it has no known antidote. Made with bakery grade ingredients to make the bait more attractive to mice, one feeding is all it takes. Poisons made of bromethalin are the most effective types in use, but extreme caution must be exercised when using this type of bait.

ESPN3.com's World Cup Coverage: A Bit Choppy, But There
The official home of the World Cup is ESPN3.com, which is streaming games online to those service providers who have signed up for it. The network's first day of coverage , froma quality perspective, was mediocre to good.

Online, the official home of the World Cup is ESPN3.com, which is streaming games online to those service providers who have signed up for it. My home provider, Comcast, is a subscriptor. (Here are other great ways to follow the World Cup, as well as the launch of 3D TV and ESPN 3D's network.)
In the interest of journalism, I have had ESPN3.com streaming both the South Africa-Mexico and France-Uruguay matches all morning. Given it's the first matches of the tournament, featuring two second-tier teams (Mexico and South Africa) and some early start times for most of the U.S., I didn't expect nor experience any problems in accessing the streams, which are reportedly supplied by Move Networks.
With the France-Uruguay match just completed, I think it's safe to say that Move has succeeded, but not admirably. ESPN3.com has a slightly odd gauge that measures the quality of the video; although it appears to be clickable, the gauge is simply an indicator, rather than a configurable option.
Unfortunately, that gauge was too often stuck on the lowest-quality setting, generating a pixellated image but rock-solid audio. That wasn't always the case, however; on one occasion the audio ceased completely, forcing me to close and then re-open the window. The resulting graininess made it virtually impossible to tell how much time was remaining; anything but the score, really. At the lowest level, the players appeared as semi-distinguishable blobs, depending on the camera angle.
(ESPN3.com's system requirements call for a optimal 768 Kbits/s connection speed; I have an 8-megabit cable connection at home, shared slightly with a separate VPN connection I use for work. Ziff-Davis blocked the site's stream from its VPN connection, which is unfortunate but perfectly reasonable.)
On other occasions, however, the stream was crisp and clear, possibly even at 480p resolution. At a guess, I'd say it averaged about 25 frames per second, possibly a consequence of my wife's Turion 64 X2-based Toshiba Satellite laptop.
(One note about ESPN's announcers: as it sometimes does, ESPN hired a coterie of U.K. announcers to call the games. As someone who watched the last World Cup on the BBC's coverage while living in England, the informed commentary is a blessing. But others might not agree.)
My grade so far: a B-. When ESPN3.com's coverage is good, it's quite good. When it's not, it's tolerable at best.
