Force Awakens Units for Fantasy Flight's X-Wing Revealed in Leak
Force Awakens Units for Fantasy Flight's X-Wing Revealed in Leak
New Force Awakens X-Wings and TIE Fighters have been revealed for Fantasy Flight's X-Wing Miniatures Game.
This past weekend, Disney used its D23 event to unleash a torrent of Star Wars reveals including new LEGO sets, movie posters and theme park plans. With all that the company announced however, it would seem it was still holding a few things close to its chest. Case in point, a set of leaked photos has revealed that Fantasy Flight Games' popular X-Wing Miniatures Game could soon receive new units based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
While details, both official and not, are currently sparse, the images in question recently hit the web and showcase what appears to be a new starter set where the traditional Empire era X-Wings and TIE Fighters have been replaced with the updated versions from The Force Awakens. The back of the box similarly swaps out the Original Trilogy setting for one drawn from the era of the new films. "It is a time of uncertainty," reads one of the photos. "Unrest grips the galaxy as the influence of the First Order spreads." It goes on to say that "a glimmer of hope remains in the heroic forces of the Resistance." Other photos also showed off upgrade cards to go with the new fighters.
It should be noted, of course, that this could all just be an elaborate hoax. There are plenty of talented artists out there possessing the skills needed to create box mock-ups as well and modified miniatures to resemble the ships from the new movie. That being the case, the existence of the seemingly thorough upgrade cards, along with the Fantasy Flight's apparently strong reaction to the leak, suggests that this is probably the real deal. We've reached out to Fantasy Flight and will let you know if we learn anything more.

How about they use the Warhammer license and put out a "Warhammer Aquila Miniatires Game"? (Gothic) Just print the ships. You already have a working System. (And if you'd be nice you'd either make the old Gothic size-compatible or make the two universes play compatible
It's not even out yet and they're already in max merchandising mode.
This must be your first time looking at a "collectible" game.
I'm still a bit disappointed that the same (albeit slightly modified) classic trilogy ships are being used for the new film. Say what you will about the prequels, but they at least mixed things up with some cool-looking vessels. I suppose it's not too big of a stretch though, seeing as there are real world military aircraft that have been in service for over half a century.
Not gonna happen. X-Wing's miniatures are sold for a halfway decent price. GW wouldn't be able to gouge customers with insane mark-ups if they did that.
I hope it's real, would mean we get new ships from the new movie/s, for which I am excited for :D
Well, the best time to make people buy something is when they are drunk on the hype... and they are the most vulnerable when they have just experienced the thing in question...
You would have to get everything ready for people to impart with their cash before release, lest it be too late!
To be honest they are only cruising, the afterburners go on in september...

Using seed can be an easy and cheap way to grow your own flowers and veg. If you are growing vegetables from seed you can pick varieties you like and also get a head start on the growing season, by early sowing such as cucumbers, courgettes and other vegetables in February.
To germinate and grow well, seeds need a controlled environment with as much light as possible. The light is as important as warmth /being frost free which is why sowing early in the year is more difficult when light levels are low. If you sow veg in February/March, you will also need somewhere frost free and warm for the seeds to grow and unheated greenhouse is likely to be too cold at this time of year. It is a balance; sow too early and the seedlings may struggle and be leggy, too late with some crops such as sweetcorn and tomatoes you may struggle to get a decent crop before the Autumn arrives if we have a bad summer or you garden in an exposed area.

I grew up in LA, moved to NYC for college, worked at a fashion house in Paris, and have written, assisted, styled, and labored in the fashion world enough to know that there's nothing epic about making a model look chic on a $10,000 budget.
What's more intriguing to me is the challenge of looking chic when buying this season's must-have Little Black Dress just isn't an option.
The way I see it, a budget is nothing more than a fun style challenge. I put together outfits on my blog using clothes from America's biggest discount stores, to show that you can look stylish regardless of how much you have to spend!
At the end of the day, what sounds better: spending your hard-earned cash on a dress you'll only wear a few times, or on an unforgettable night out with loved ones?
With a few styling and shopping tips from yours truly (and Team Penny Chic!), you can look as chic as you want! And bonus: you'll feel more confident knowing you're in control because you don't have to overspend to keep up with the trends.
The past few years have been a whirlwind.
I've been incredibly lucky to receive amazing feedback in the press, and have gotten the opportunity to design a clothing line and write a style book (being published next year!).
Women, like you, who "make it work" every day inspire me, and I can't wait to take you along for the ride as Penny Chic continues to grow.

Hi Dr. Greger: I have become a vegan for the past 3 months and am loving it. I have been looking for a video that addresses hypothyroidism but could not find one. What do you recommend for hormonal balance? I am 44 and peri-menopausal and have some hypothyroid issues. Thanks so much, Sacha Urban
I am 17 and have been vegetarian from around the age of 5 or 6 when my brother told me what I was eating. I have been 100% vegan for one year now and have realized my nails are not sticking to my flesh, leaving only a small portion if my nail attached to my skin, it is extremely painful. I eat enough in a day and have been following high carb low fat. I encorporated a handful or so a week of nuts in my diet for 3 months and only noticed that I was gaining weight and felt unmotivated to exercise, I have switched back to low fat, and have my energy back. But my nails are still in this aweful state, please help!
Hi Only! Have you checked with you MD about the nail problem as it sounds like it is unrelated to diet. For example, a fungus under the nail could cause separation.
Have you seen this one?
Thank you for your efforts.
Is it ok to use these videos in presentations to health professionals? How would I get a copy? Also wanting 'Safety of heme vs non-heme iron'
Obviously they would be credited to you.
Had to pause the video to comment but I found it funny that the Salt Institute guy's name was "Satin" and the name sounds almost like SATAN haha.. His first name "Morton" could also be split up into 2 words "Mort on" -> "Mort" being the french word for death haha.. Not scientific but I just found this interesting and worth sharing haha..

text: Charlie Armour Charlie Armour London I was born in London, England in 1982, and I suppose I've always had a passion for music. I enjoyed playing traditional instruments at school, but my interest in music composition really got started when I found out about computer music sequencing, and when I got access to a suitable machine back in the mid-1990s. The technology has changed almost beyond recognition over the years, but my love of music has remained constant. To understand music theory, and to learn more about the technical and professional aspects of music production, I attended University in Ealing, home of the famous Ealing Film Studios, and got a graduate qualification in Music Technology I've been lucky enough to compose music for movies, and video games since then. I like to work in a variety of styles. With each new piece, I try to remain stylistically and culturally authentic to the genre, but I always try to add whatever the secret formula of musical herbs and spices is that makes up the trademark Charlie Armour sound. I love to make music with other people, using the global reach of the internet to maintain collaborative relationships and friendships with independent music and video artists from all corners of the globe. I have been credited as producer and composer on a number of projects and gained priceless opportunities to expand my own artistic horizons in doing so. Last year and this year I received international recognition in the form of 5 music awards for best soundtrack demo, best demo song of the year, best soundtrack producer(last year and this year) and best classical song(Which was nice.) I suppose the fact that I have made it so far is something of a miracle, given my battle with Leukodystrophy, a neurological disorder which (in my case) affects the use of my legs and hands - not an ideal situation for a musician, but I don't get distracted by little things like that. I believe that persistence is the main component of success, both in music, and in life - and I hope that my example will encourage other people to ignore their own distractions, and remain persistent in their own attempts to achieve their goals.

Our Classes
Classes take place in our cosy kitchen in an early 19th-century converted warehouse in the beautiful city of Wiesbaden. We wanted to preserve the historical character of the building whilst creating a warm, inviting space to cook and eat.
Our class sizes are small, with a maximum of 4/5 participants, which means we can keep things relaxed and intimate. Annie will spend a little time at the start of each class discussing the ingredients and techniques before getting started. Participants will do each step of the recipe together and Annie will be there to guide and advise - everyone will get to practise the techniques and should feel confident enough to try them at home after the class.
At the end of the class we will either enjoy the meal we have made together, or, for baking classes, we will have a tea or coffee together and you will take home some of the day's creations, as well as a copy of the recipe(s) covered in class. Annie will also give you advice about where to source ingredients in the local area.
Whatever your level of culinary skill, we guarantee that you will learn something new, have a good time and go home with some inspiration!
About your teacher
Annie is originally from the UK, but has lived in different parts of the world, including East Africa, the Caribbean, France and Italy. She loves travel and learning about different cultures and cuisines. She believes that knowing how to cook is an essential skill for life but one that is being lost due to busy lives and changing priorities. Although mostly self-taught in the kitchen, Annie took advantage of more than 10 years living in France to learn advanced skills through cooking courses in Lyon, the home of French gastronomy. She enjoys finding inspiration in food blogs, cookery books and literature and from browsing local markets and products.
Annie is an experienced teacher of English as a foreign language and a qualified French/English translator but really wanted to find a way to combine her teaching and language skills with a love of food and cookery. Moving to Wiesbaden from France with her German partner provided the perfect opportunity to try something new and that's where the idea for Mirabelle Kitchen came from.
The aim of Mirabelle Kitchen is to offer fun, informal, baking and cooking workshops that provide an opportunity to learn new recipes and culinary skills whilst encouraging cultural exchange. The courses are aimed at all levels - from beginners to confident home cooks. Mirabelle Kitchen is pleased to welcome both native speakers of English and non-native speakers who would simply like to practise their English through doing a practical activity, rather than traditional classroom-based learning. Annie speaks fluent French, some Italian and is now faced with the challenge of learning German!
The Mirabelle Kitchen Philosophy
In terms of ingredients, we think it is important to buy the best quality you can afford and to support local producers as much as possible. We buy mostly organic, or free-range dairy, meat and eggs, trying to shop primarily at the twice-weekly market in Wiesbaden and at local farms, such as the Domäne Mechtildshausen and Hof Rosenköppel, which offer high-quality local products. We are also keen to support Fair Trade programmes to ensure that production of ingredients from other parts of the world, like cane sugar or exotic fruits, is really supporting local producers and providing sustainable livelihoods. Trying to cook with the seasons is also an important part of sustainable living and we try to stick to that as much as possible.

Om Puri, Helen Mirren, Manish Dayal, Juhi Chawla, A.R. Rahman, Oprah and Steven Spielberg all working on the same film? Yes please!
Produced by Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg, The Hundred-Foot Journey is a film adaptation of Richard C. Morais' novel of the same name. Directed by Lasse Hallström (of Chocolat fame), The Hundred-Foot Journey, stars Helen Mirren, Manish Dayal (Raj from 90210), Om Puri and Charlotte Le Bon. Indian actress Juhi Chawla also makes an appearance, and A.R. Rahman is responsible for the music.
The story: Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in a quaint village in the south of France. Filled with charm, it's the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), gets wind of it. Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate to all out war between the two establishments. That is until Hassan's (Manish Dayal) passion for French haute cuisine and for Mme. Mallory's enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), combine with his mysteriously delicious talent to weave magic between their two culinary cultures that even Mme. Mallory cannot ignore.
Watch the trailer for The Hundred-Foot Journey
The Hundred-Foot Journey opens in theatres on August 8, 2014.

This evening, 8 Republicans will participate in the seventh official presidential debate of the year. Hosted by the Washington Post and Bloomberg TV, it will take place in New Hampshire at 8:00 PM (EST) and will be moderated by Charlie Rose who will ask questions of the candidates along with Washington Post's Karen Tumulty and Bloomberg TV's Julianna Goldman. The entire debate will be dedicated to the economy and unlike previous debates, this one will feature a round table format with the candidates seated next to each other.
The debate will stream live on PostPolitics.com, and be broadcast live on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, Bloomberg.com and WBIN-TV in New Hampshire.
Following the event, the candidates and their advisers will speak to reporters in the political "Spin Room" which you can follow LIVE on C‑SPAN.org at 10:00 PM.
The debate comes at a critical juncture in the nomination contest. With last week's announcements by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin declaring that they will not be running for President in 2012, this will, be the first debate of the election which forces voters to focus on comparing those who are running to one another and not with any hoped, for but undeclared, potential candidates. It also comes at a time when shifts in public approval of some candidates are swinging wildly. Such is the case with Herman Cain and Rick Perry. While Cain has emerged from the back of the field to take position in the top half of the field, the opposite has happened with Rick Perry.
At the same time Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, and Jon Huntsman find themselves in the unenviable position of trying to establish themselves as the alternative choice to the frontrunners. Currently, all four of them are having to fight the "why" factor. That's "why" as in why keep running?
Meanwhile, Texas Governor Rick Perry is probably under the most pressure tonight.
While the this evening's debate may not be a deal breaker for him, it is most definitely going to be his opportunity to gain ground that he has lost since he began plummeting in the polls after his las debate performance. He could either get back on track or concede ground to Romney, Cain, or any one of the other second tier candidates, including Ron Paul. And with about twelve weeks left before the first nomination ballots are cast, Perry really can't afford to lose any more ground . For him, tonight will mean the difference between voters continuing to consider his candidacy or writing it off as a dud.
For Herman Cain, this seventh debate provides him with the opposite version of the Perry situation.
Herman Cain must find a way to give voters who began to take his candidacy seriously after winning the Florida Straw Poll, reason to say, "Yeah. He really is good". A good showing tonight will solidify Cain as the seriously strong, viable, anti-establishment alternative to the establishmentarian candidacy of frontrunner Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney will also be under a great deal of pressure. He will be the man in the hottest seat of all. All the darts will be thrown at him.
Rick Perry believes the media driven perception that the Republican presidential election is a two man race between him and Romney. So he will largely leave the other candidates alone and simply try to take Romney down. Herman Cain understands that while Perry has been dropping in the polls, he has be rising and is in striking distance of overtaking Romney. So he will try to to give voters every reason to do so by taking his own shots at Romney. All the other candidates would like to make a name for themselves and know that one of the best ways to do so would be by landing a well publicized knockout punch to the current king of the hill. For Romney, he needs to avoid making any gaffes and to somehow convince the Republican base that he is as as conervative as any of the other candidates sitting with him. Pulling that off will be difficult but if he walks away gaffe free and standing, he will have achieved all he really needs to tonight.
Lost in each of those individual mini dramas will be another challenge that all the candidates will face in tonight's debate. It is a challenge that will come from the media.
Previous debates were televised live on relatively popular and mainstream cable news stations. Bloomberg TV, has not yet established itself to be a comparable, mainstream, news source. Due to the fact that Bloomberg does not release figures about the size of its audience and does not have a contract with the ratings company Nielsen, it is hard to say what percentage of the American viewing audience Bloomberg shares, but it is safe to say that its share of the viewing public is somewhat small. Bloomberg TV's audience does however have the highest median household income and the highest median net worth among cable news networks in the U.S.. Its viewer's median income is $156,290. But that does not translate in to more viewers. Furthermore, Bloomberg TV is focussed on the New York City Tri-state are which includes New York City, Northern New Jersey, and Connecticut, and for the past two years the station has concentrated on building its 6 AM to 12 PM viewing audience, not its 8 to 10 PM audience.
This means that this evening's audience will be far more limited than previous debates. As a result, most people will be hearing about the debate through the filter of the liberal mainstream media. In other words, the media will have far more control over the spin of this debate than they have had in the past. Most voters will be establishing their opinions of the candidates debate performances through whatever headline and spin that talking heads and journalists want us to believe.
That means that the greatest challenge facing the debate participants tonight will not come from one another, it will come from their ability to prevent the media from coopting their messages.
Mr. Fellows attributed the company's absence on Nielsen to a combination of factors, including cost and Nielsen's inability to measure the core audience sought by Bloomberg.

"That Abby. She's some gal!"
—Sam Casey
"I'm sending you the worst movie I know: it's called Riding with Death and it sucks on toast!"
—Mrs. Forrester
Film watched: Riding With Death, a TV movie compiled from two episodes of the television series Gemini Man.
The SegmentsPrologue
- Mike regressed back to his days as a teppanyaki chief, leading him cutting like crazy. He soon chops Crow's hand off.
Segment 1
- Mike and the Bots get a call from Pearl, who is on the front lines with Bobo fighting off enemy robots. Brain Guy is also there, but as a nurse for the two. Mike supports the battle with a baking soda rocket, causing the planet to explode. As punishment, Pearl sends out today's experiment.
Segment 2
- Servo performs Funky 70s song about Mt. Vesuvius and Emperor Titus. After clarification from Mike and Crow, Servo performs a song about the 50s, back when Emperor Claudius died and the apostles were there.
Segment 3
- Servo announces that he become a trucker, waxing poetic about the open road, while Mike voices his disgust about Servo's new legs and butt. He continues being a trucker in the theater.
Segment 4
- Crow emerges as the newest superhero on the block, Turkey Volume Guessing Man, who estimates the volume of objects in turkeys. Mike then tries his hand in turkey volume guessing, leading to Crow breaking down over his identity, but he recovers quickly.
Segment 5
- Mike and the Bots halfheartedly roleplay as the cast of Riding with Death, complete with a cardboard Abby: "Give it the old college try, Sam!" Back on the Widowmaker, Pearl gets awarded for her war victories.
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 presentation of Riding With Death featured:
- AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle: Lampshaded.Dr. Hale: This can't beeEE! You're DEAD!Mike: No, Iii'm nooOT!Crow: It can't beEE! You're inviiisiIBLE!
- Always Someone Better: Mike turns out to be this towards Crow when it comes to the field of guessing how many turkeys it would take to fill a given space.
- Ambiguously Gay: Observer, again. This time, he's dressed as a female nurse, while calling himself a Red Cross medic. (Of course, no field medic has ever been in a nurse's dress.)Pearl: Brain Guy, what the hell is your deal?
Observer: My race is pacifist and does not believe in war. We only kill out of personal spite.
- Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Pearl sends Mike "Riding with Death" as punishment for seemingly harming Bobo with his baking-soda bomb.Pearl: Aw, Nelson, look what you've done. This poor, noble ape is gonna croak and it's all your fault! I'm sending you the worst movie I know. It's called Riding with Death and it sucks on toast!
- I'll Kill You!: Observer changes his mind when he finds out Bobo just has hunger pains and attempts strangling Bobo.
- Billions of Buttons: The control panel for the fighter jet.Servo: All this and no tape deck?
- Bluff the Imposter: Lampshaded.Mike: (as Hale) Sam, I'm blown to several thousand bits, but I've gotta finish these patent papers!
- Call-Back:
- At one point Mike mocks Abby's screams of "SaaaaAAAAM!" by saying "VaaaaAAAAAAANCE!" like Dr. Langer in The Giant Spider Invasion — a movie they'd seen just four episodes previous.
- Near the end of the third act, just before Denby is arrested, Servo notes "Hey look, a couple of VaaaaAAAAAAANS!"
- On a related note, Servo even gets in a "JeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeed!" (the Running Gag from The Leech Woman). Crow groans, "Oh, here we go!"
- During the host segments, Observer claims to be a pacifist during The Siege on the "Camping Planet" — well, a Technical Pacifist: "We only kill out of personal spite." At the end, when Bobo gets distracted and starts singing Asia's "Only Time Will Tell" after playing the solo for Pearl's award ceremony, Brain Guy wordlessly points a pistol at Bobo until he stops.
- At one point Mike mocks Abby's screams of "SaaaaAAAAM!" by saying "VaaaaAAAAAAANCE!" like Dr. Langer in The Giant Spider Invasion — a movie they'd seen just four episodes previous.
- Cardboard Pal: Mike and company have one in the form of Abby in the final segment.
- Celebrity Resemblance: Invoked. Due to Alan Oppenheimer's slight resemblance to Gavin MacLeod at the time, which, being the '70s and all, prompts quite a few Mary Tyler Moore Show jokes.
- Compilation Movie: Repeatedly mocked. During the end credits, the crew sarcastically voice "Up Next!" network bumpers by accident, then correct themselves, insisting that is is a real released-in-theaters movie.Mike: ♪ By Mennen! ♫
- Also:Mike: Riding With Death will be right back... (Commercial Break Cliffhanger Fade to Black... then immediately Fade From Black) ...and we're back.
- Also:Servo: Next up: Karen Valentine guest stars on Hec Ramsey- I mean, when you get home from the theater tonight after this fine movie, heh.
- Also:Mike: Okay, switch over to Name of the Game. Oh, wait...
- Also:
- Corpsing: Mike can't help but crack up at all the bad dialogue inserts, particularly when Crow makes fun of Ben Murphy's voice-over.
- Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: Spoofed ; due to the "movie's" name, the guys start referring to the Tripolodine as "Death".Crow: (after Abby rigs together a makeshift hammock to keep the Tripolodine from bouncing around too much in the box) Why'd she put Death in a Jolly Jumper?
- Crazy Enough to Work: During the credits, Crow seems to consider the idea that the movie had an "Executive Story Consultant" unbelievable.Crow: An executive story consultant?!
Servo: (as the consultant) Yes. I advise that you cast the most annoying cracker you can find and slam together two incomprehensible stories!
- Incidentally, the show's executive story consultant was... Steven Bochco. THE Steven Bochco.Servo: Steven Bochco?! We're not going to have to see Dennis Franz's hairy buttcheeks, are we?
- Incidentally, the show's executive story consultant was... Steven Bochco. THE Steven Bochco.
- Double Entendre: Mike and the Bots' commentary during the sequence when Buffalo Bill's truck is used to slow down Casey's out-of-control vehicle:Sam: Alrighty, I'm coming up on your mudflaps at 67.
Crow: "Coming up on your mudflaps." People have such cute names for sex.
Mike: Ma' well-oiled chassis is comin' up on yer backside, now.
Servo: My rigid grill structure is bearin' down on yer unprotected cargo door.
Crow: My oft-complimented Peterbilt is rhythmically nudging that sweet honey pot of yours?
Mike and Servo: Crow!
Mike: Drained and satisfied, I'm tracin' lazy circles on yer' supercab now.
Crow: You said I was bad...
Mike: You inspired me.
Crow: (singing) So I sing you to sleep, after the truckin'...Servo: Now they have to get married.
- Then:
- Form-Fitting Wardrobe: The crew have fun with the WTH, Costuming Department?.
Crow: Operation Cameltoe!
- On Abby:
Crow: The rare male cameltoe!note
- On Sam:
- Gasshole: Pearl and Observer thinks the enemy has unleashed mustard gas on them, but Bobo says he'd just eaten a jar of Plochman's with his knish for lunch.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar:Servo: (as Buffalo Bill) Heh, that's my unclean hand!
- Hayseed Name: When he sees that H.G. Wells got an Original Story credit, Servo says that's not the H. G. Wells, but Hud Gomer Wells
- Homage: Crow shaking Mike and demanding, "What did you do with that planet, you silly stupid old man?! Someone's going to jail and it's not gonna be me!" was the crew's homage to Jimmy Stewart, who died during the shooting of the episode in 1997.
- Ho Yay: In-universe, the crew sees something more than just a blossoming bromance between Sam and Buffalo.Bill: Sam...
Crow: (as Bill) Let's move in together.
- Jumping on a Grenade: Subverted. Bobo ("I'll save you, Lawgiver!") throws Observer onto a live grenade, where it explodes underneath him.Observer: (dazed) It's a good thing I don't have a body!
- Literal-Minded: When asked to sing a song about The '70s, Tom Servo sings a '70s-style disco song about the events of 70-79 AD. He later tries to sing about The '50s... as in a nostalgic "do you remember" song about the events of 50-59 AD.
- Looping Lines: Called out in-universe. The crew all snicker at the extremely forced, underwritten ADR used to awkwardly shoehorn the two TV episodes together. Made especially obvious by the fact that this is done by looping in the lines while the characters are offscreen, and all the more blatant with Abby, who obviously isn't even in the second episode... that is to say, second half of the movie. "I said that and then clammed up instantly!"Driscoll: [offscreen] If you don't show yourself, I'll put you back on the Denby case!
- Made of Explodium: Lampshaded. The Tripolodine is supposed to be this, but Special Effects Failure mean it's less than threatening:Abby: I don't know how long it takes, but just a couple of drops on a tissue nearly blew this whole room apart!
Mike: Well, it knocked over a chair.
- Martial Pacifist: The Observer discloses that his race doesn't believe in war and that they only kill out of "personal spite."
- Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: The Trope Namer rides again. "What's that, three for you now?" Pearl actually calls him "Destroyer of Worlds" in reference to Oppenheimer/the Bhagavad-Gita.
- Mondegreen: In-universe: during the climax of the second "half", Jim Stafford says something that the MST crew hears as "New England journalists", which prompts a lively debate over the merits of journalists from all over our fine country.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: The baking soda bomb probably wouldn't have been as disastrous had Mike not packed too much baking soda into it (not helped by him suddenly remembering a similar bomb that cost him a job in the past due to someone ratting on him, causing him to grab a giant box of the stuff).
- Not So Dire: Bobo is groaning apparently in pain in the Widowmaker after Mike blows up the planet they were on, with Pearl thinking he's going to die. But it turns out he's just hungry for a knish. Observer starts strangling him.
- Overly Long Gag: Driscoll spends several minutes cleaning his glasses, which are filled entirely with over the top squeaking sounds and the occasional "Still dirty!" Achieves Brick Joke status when after speaking to him over a CB radio, Mike has Ben ponder that Driscoll sounds like his glasses are dirty over the radio.
- Periphery Demographic: Invoked during the movie's end credits:Mike: Y'know, for some reason, this movie was a hit with elderly black women and Hispanic lesbians.
- Potty Failure:Crow: (as Buffalo Bill) "I pooped my drawers, I'm so excited!"
- Product Placement: Arm & Hammer is all over the segment with the baking soda bomb.
- Punctuated Pounding: "MELL! OW! OUT!"
- Remember the New Guy?: In the second half, the doctor who shows up to tell Driscoll he's wrong about Denby.Crow: And you are...?
Crow: I hate being badgered by pharmacists!
- Running Gag:
- Turkey jokes for Jive Turkey Sam Casey.
- "Leave Robert Denby alone!" This one was actually carried over into other episodes whose featured movies starred William Sylvester (Gorgo and Devil Doll, in case you were wondering).
- The doubting doctor trying to get the Properly Paranoid Driscoll to lay off of Robert Denby, and sounding like he's about to burst into tears when Driscoll doesn't.
- The elusive Robert Denby.
- "You're so elusive!"
- "I seek Robert Denby. I need to know why I was considered as elusive as him."
- Dr. Hale's hilariously inept attempts to convince Sam that he's still in the cargo compartment but doesn't want to be disturbed.Servo: Don't come back here, I'm doing, eh heh, naked burpees!
Mike: (when the truck explodes) Sam, I'm blown to several thousand bits, but I've gotta finish these patent papers!
- Driscoll's filthy, filthy glasses, which the character spends several minutes continuously scrubbing while talking to Sam over the radio. "Man, I can practically hear the filth on his glasses!"
- The '70s references come fast and furious, especially Sam's being "mellow"."Her codename: Muskrat Suzie!"
"What would Toni Tennille do?"
- Alan Oppenheimer's resemblance to Gavin MacLeod leads to a few Mary Tyler Moore references when Hale is onscreen.Mike (as Sue Ann Nivens, when Hale shoots at Sam): Oh, Murray... dear, sweet, homicidal Murray.
- Referring to Cupcake by other pastry names. "Profiterole has a black heart."Crow: Bear Claw, no!
Mike: Cupcake, get Twinkie the Kid and Fruit Pie the Magician!
Crow: The day is yours Cupcake, we shall meet again!... You will rule the world, Emperor Cupcake!
- The idea that Sam is only accidentally turning invisible while checking his watch.Crow (as Sam): It's quarter to three now— (Sam turns invisible) D'oh!
- Several times Abby whimpers "Sam" and Tom says, "You made the pants too long." (It's a reference to an early Barbra Streisand novelty song.)
- Buffalo Bill being a racist hick. One riff has him as a member of a posse comitatus.Crow: See, crackers and hicks can get along.
- Abby's Stock Footage appearance in the second half makes the crew constantly wonder where the hell she's supposed to be.Crow: Mike? Did the ozone layer finally give out...?!
- The fact that it's only a second or two of footage being run backwards and forwards gives her a weird, dazed appearance as well:Mike: (as Abby) IiI've beEn drRugGed...!
- The fact that it's only a second or two of footage being run backwards and forwards gives her a weird, dazed appearance as well:
- Shown Their Work: Tom Servo's songs on "The '70s" and "The '50s" recount the actual events of AD 50-79, including namechecking Saint Paul and the Emperor Titus, as well the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.
- Small Name, Big Ego: "I'm Ben Murphy."
- Squick: Invoked. Mike and the Bots express their displeasure when Sam and Buffalo Bill first meet.Sam: You know I'm right on your back door, buddy.
Crow: Ewwww.
Bill: Well, you can keep the Black Barts off my mudflaps.
All: (disgusted noises)
- Someone Else's Problem: Mike's initial response to Mrs. Forrester and Bobo fighting in a WWII-esque battle scene is an unenthusiastic "...and?"
- Suspiciously Specific Denial:Sam: How you ridin' back there, Doctor?Mike: (as Hale) I'm not in a helicopter!
- Talkative Loon: Mike and the Bots' impressions of Buffalo Bill, turning his super-enthusiastic Good Ol' Boy talk into gibberish.
- They Called Me Mad!: Pearl called the Satellite of Love to send a distraction against a robot army, so Mike prepares a baking soda bomb. But when he remembers how he was persecuted in his youth over similar pranks, he starts muttering bitterly about it, and ends up way overfilling the bomb, leading to the planet itself being destroyed.
- This Is a Work of Fiction: Servo seems to consider it a blessing when the disclaimer pops up in the credits.Mike: All characters depicted are...really stupid and disgusting.
Servo: Any similarities to actual persons would be really sad.
- When the "film" claims to be based on a work by H.G. Wells:Servo: No, no, they mean Hud Gomer Wells.
- When the "film" claims to be based on a work by H.G. Wells:
- This Is Gonna Suck: The moment Buffalo Bill is introduced singing comically badly, without Jim Stafford even in frame yet, Mike and Crow give little muted reactions of disappointment.Crow: Oh, my —
Mike: Ohhh. No.
- Toilet Humor: Turns out it's not mustard gas - just Bobo after eating a whole jar of mustard.
- Un-Entendre: While watching a mechanical readout click upward. 67... 68...Tom: Hey, my favorite number!
Mike: ...70?
Tom: Yeah, I love 70.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Inspired by a multitude of references to turkeys in the film (okay, one or two), Crow takes up the mantle of Turkey Volume Guessing Man! ...who is able to instinctively calculate how many turkeys could fit in a given space, i.e. express something's volume in units of turkey. Sadly this power isn't useful at all, but finds it's a great way to wallow in being a '90s Anti-Hero with a Traumatic Superpower Awakening, which attracts babes. He's very disappointed to learn that Mike can do it too... until he latches onto the idea of Super Team of turkey guessers.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Crow gets pissed after Mike Nelson blows up his third planet.Crow: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR STUPID, ROTTED SKULL, YOU DUMB MAN?!
- With Lyrics: Mike and the bots sing some of the credits names to the instrumental tune heard in the end credits.
- Writers Cannot Do Math: The plot of the first half of the movie is how Sam has to get a truck from Torrance to Long Beach, a trip that normally takes roughly 20 minutes in real life.Mike: So they have thirteen hours to drive from Torrance to Long Beach?

I think it's fair to say that many of us miss out on experiencing a lot of great destinations simply because they are on our doorstep. We either put off visiting today with the excuse that we can visit any time (though never do), or don't even consider local attractions purely because they are so close to home. But I think it's well worth making the most of what's nearby – after all, somewhere doesn't need to be far away to be amazing.
The UK's cities are particularly good places to explore, I think, since they give you a chance to find out more about our own country's culture and have some serious fun in the process. Newcastle is among my favourites, and there are plenty of affordable B&Bs you can stay in (click here to get some ideas) for a whistlestop weekend tour. And here's what you should see while you're there…
The Angel of the North
Pretty hard to miss if you're heading to Newcastle by road, the Angel of the North is one of Britain's most famous sculptures. Standing over the A1, the angel is 20 m high, has a wingspan of 54 m and is made from 200 tonnes of steel. Even if you're not planning on driving, make sure you take a trip to stand in the angel's shadow.
Castle Keep
Once you arrive in Newcastle, you should make a beeline for the Castle Keep, which stands in the centre of the city. This Grade I listed building is worth visiting for several reasons, not least of which is that from the top you can get amazing views over the city.
The second is that it stands on the site of a Norman castle, which is where the city actually got its name from. So, it's a very apt place to begin your 48 hours in Newcastle!
Grey Street and Grainger Town
Grey Street, Grainger Street and Grainger Market make up Grainger Town – a historic part of the city and one of the best places to go for a spot of shopping. So, it's a good place to kill two birds with one stone!
As you amble around the streets, you'll be able to admire a lot of classical architecture, most of which was built in the 1830s. And while you do so, you can pop into some of the city's best shops; the nice thing about indulging in a little retail therapy in this part of the city is that there's a great mix of independent boutiques and designer brands.
BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art
Newcastle is a really culturally rich city, so you should squeeze a visit to one of the local galleries into your stay. The BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art is particularly worth a visit. Located on Gateshead Quays, it is the largest gallery of its kind in the world.
Unlike most galleries, the BALTIC Centre is made up of temporary exhibitions rather than permanent collections, and showcases a mixture of local and international art.
You can't go to Newcastle and pass up the opportunity to spend a night on the town, especially since there's such a wide variety of places to go to that it's pretty hard not to find somewhere you like.
It's particularly good for cocktail bars, with Tokyo on Westgate Road being among the best. Filled with Japanese-style decor, it is an ultra-classy venue that serves up everything from classic cocktails to its own concoctions.
To experience a very different scene, you could head to the Hyena Comedy Cafe, which also serves some great food. Come here on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday for some big laughs and fab flavours.

Below are summaries of general terms and conditions with maintenance instructions supplied by Dalsouple France. Included is the overriding documentation from iRubber that applies to all Australasian and international sales sourced from Australia.
Please be aware that when specifying DalNaturel as the type of Dalsouple required, any type of enhancement of the product is not possible.
This mean that extra UV (EUV) inhibitors (that helps prevent yelllowing in lighter colours in direct daylighting), extra flame retardance, (EFR) and other enhancements such as Oil and Grease resistrant (OGR) cannot be put into to the formulation.
Once additional "enhancements" are required the flooring can no longer be classified as a "natural" product, so has to be made in SBR formulation.
Always check on the environment or area where the material is to be installed and ask for advice on the correct selection of product from the Dalsouple range. The onus is on the purchaser to undertake due diligence and research prior to ordering and purchase.
Pay particular attention in areas subject to high moisture (especially from the substrate) and areas prone to direct and/or unfiltered daylight. The latter may cause Dalsouple colours to fade (especially red) or "yellow" if lighter colours are used. Warranty does not cover UV/colour degradation or discoloration.
Lack of carbon black* in these colours- for tonality reasons reduces- longevity of colours. Eventually colours will fade with UV attack and cannot be prevented. Aftermarket products to correct discolouration when damage has occured is not possible in our experience.
If you anticipate discolouration may occur in a pasrticular area, it is advisable to order addtional product to replace installed materials at a later date.
* As a point of interest carbon black is what makes car tyres black- and is used to prevent solar/UV degradation of the tyre walls. Car tyres would actually be a light tan colour were it not for a sort of printers ink injected into the formulation of the vulcanised rubber.

Horrify your Japanese grandmother by shaking a packet with a half liter of cold water for iced green tea, or whip out your bamboo tea whisk and use the individual packets for more traditional hot tea. The box of 10 packets sells for $18.99 at Whole Foods.
Board Link: Found: Good quality Matcha in convenient packlets


text: I am looking to buy a new bass soon. Got a chance to play the Zone, nice sounding and playing bass. I always liked the playability of Ibanez basses and the SR500 looks interesting but I can't find one at any of the local music stores. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these two basses and any input would be helpful.

Recording Artist, Jesse Eplan releases the visual to his latest single, "Earthquake" featuring Inf the God
Young men all over the world have a moment in time where they official enter into manhood, usually around the age of 18. Newly discovered recording artist Jesse Eplan is a 17-year-old sensation with his viral hit single, "Earthquake" that tells his story of becoming a man in the craziest night imaginable.
In the video, "Earthquake" portrays True to form. the song and video bring that concept to staggering new levels as the dollar bills rain and they pop the champagne christening Eplan's manhood at none other than a strip club.
Discovering a knack for music at the tender age of 7 and learning how to play multiple instruments from drums to bass, guitar, keyboards, and polishing his immaculate voice playing in local bands throughout Long Island – Jesse Eplan's music consists of genres anywhere from Hip-Hop to Pop and R&B. Being able to blend them uniquely and make it his own has come from years of immersing himself in music. Having first heard Led Zeppelin, ACDC, The Beatles and many of the world's top music revolutionaries- this influenced him to start playing any instrument he could get his hands on. he later began performing in bands as a lead singer, drummer, and leading guitar player. Playing throughout Long Island and Manhattan in various gigs and charity events which raised thousands of dollars helping to fight Crohn's Disease, Colitis, and Breast Cancer, he was able to cut his teeth as a live musician.
Watch "Earthquake" and get familiar with the new mainstay sensation Jesse Eplan.

The planning system in the UK is designed to help protect the environment in our towns and cities, and in the countryside. Your local planning authority is responsible for deciding whether a building project to your home – an extension, for example – can go ahead or not. This also gives people who may be affected by your proposed development a chance to have their say.
When might I need to apply for planning permission?
Most new buildings, or major changes to existing buildings or to the local environment, need to get planning permission. Some common household projects that may need planning permission include installation of, or building work to:
- All listed buildings
- All buildings in designated areas (Conservation Areas, National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty)
- Extensions and additions
- External and party walls
- Roofs
- Conservatories
- Solar panels or wind turbines
- Patios and driveways
- Dormer windows
- Party walls or internal walls
- Ground source heat pumps
- Underpinning and foundations
For an overview of when you need planning permission for works to your house, you can visit a handy interactive 'Householder's Guide' at the Government's Planning Portal. You can also find links to 'common projects' and 'case studies' on the Planning Portal website. For specific situations or applications you should contact your local authority for advice. You can also find a 'fee calculator' on the Planning Portal website to work out what it costs to get planning permission.
How do I make an application?
You apply to your council for planning permission. You can also apply for planning permission online at the Planning Portal website. Key areas that are looked at include:
- The number, size, layout, position and external appearance of buildings
- The proposed means of access, landscaping and impact on the neighbourhood
- The availability of infrastructure, such as roads and water supply
- The proposed use of the development
Who makes the application?
You can make the planning application yourself or appoint an agent (an architect, solicitor or builder) to do it for you. Anyone can make an application, irrespective of who owns the land. But all owners, part owners, leaseholders and agricultural tenants must be informed and a certificate produced to verify this.
Your application must also be accompanied by a plan of the site, details of any proposed works and the fee. At least three copies of the form and plans are required, although some councils may ask for more.
How long does it take?
The council should decide on your application within eight weeks. Large or complex applications may take longer. In both cases they may request to extend this period. For example, this could occur if the issues involved are complex or a lot of people are affected by the proposed development.
Does planning permission affect my Churchill home insurance?
If you do any building work to your home, whether you need planning permission or not, you should let us know. The work you do could increase the value of your home buildings and its contents and this could affect your Churchill home insurance premium. The last thing you want is to underinsure your extended property.
If you've had some building work done at home and need to change the details of your Churchill home insurance policy, please contact us.

Aussie Boy Band The Janoskians Strike It Big On The Silver Screen
The Janoskians have just landed a movie deal.
The Australian YouTube prank collective has signed on to work with Lionsgate – the studio behind Hollywood hits like The Twilight Saga and The Expendables – to develop and star in a feature film.
Janoskians members Beau Brooks, Jai Brooks, Luke Brooks, Daniel Sahyounie and James Yammouni will star in the movie, which will be written specifically for them by stand-up comedian Dan Ahdoot. The movie will be partially scripted, and follow the Janoskians as they move from Australia to Los Angeles. The film will also heavily feature the public pranks and Jackass-style dares the guys are known for.
The deal was arranged by Brian Robbins, CEO of Awesomeness TV – The YouTube network the Janoskians YouTube channel is signed to. Robbins, who is a successful film and television producer in his own right, has been actively working to increase the profile of his YouTube partners in both television and movies over the past few years. In addition to inking a fresh deal for content with Nickelodeon, Robbins recently announced he will be producing a moving with Vine superstars Nash Grier and Cameron Dallas, code named Cash The Movie.
The Janoskians have already proven that their brand can carry over into the mainstream. After starting their YouTube channel in 2011 with a few skits and dates, the boys rabid fan base made them an international sensation with almost 3 million subscribers and 180 million views across all their channels. This provided the perfect stepping stone for the boys to try their hands at fashion, music, and now film. They recently launched a successful clothing line called Dirty Pig, signed a record deal with Republic Records, and pulled off a sold-out world tour.
Speaking about the deal, Beau Brooks said: "In our wildest dreams we never thought we would end up working with a company like Lionsgate. They take risks, break rules and make epic movies. We can't wait to take our pranks and jokes to the next level."
This isn't Lionsgate's first foray into the world of YouTube. Just last month the company announced they were partnering with YouTube VFX master Freddie Wong's company RocketJump to help them find new ways of monetizing and distributing their content.

Looks are deceiving...it says RUBICON on the hood, but it didn't come that way from the factory. I added lockers, and got it one step closer to being a Rubicon. Still has the stock 231J x-case and the axles are still stockers...with the exception of the lockers. So with all that in mind, I've come to affectionately call it 'Rubicon-job". Play on words there....
Still, nothing beats having a hooked-up CJ7. Always been a CJ fan.

I know, some of you are waiting for the second part of my last story ... ähm .. please, be patient and wait a little bit longer. I will post it soon.
But today is a special day for lireeli - it's her birthday!
Enjoy a wonderful day with your family and friends - with fun, sun, presents and whatever you want.
And now a little bit Casey & Zeke for you. I hope, you will like it!
Title: Surprises
Fandom: Casey / Zeke
Rating: R / maybe NC 17?
Disclaimer: of course, not mine
Casey's parents had decided that Casey was old enough to spend this weekend alone. It was their 20.anniversary and they had booked a suite in a little nice hotel outside Herrington. Casey took advantage of this situation; he could stay a little bit longer than normally with Zeke. They had watched some movies, had ordered chinese food and then ....
"Last week ... at the party ... I've thought about it!"
Zeke looked at him distrustfully.
"About what?"
"You ... you've kissed me!"
Zeke swallowed. Yes, he had done it! No, he shouldn't have done it! No, he didn't want to talk about it!
"A bit too much beer, I think. ... It should never have happened! Sorry!"
"Why not?"
"Why not? What's wrong with it?"
Zeke stared at him.
"Casey ... darn, Casey! We are friends! Friends don't kiss each other .... certainly not in this way!"
"Why not?"
"Case, don't drive me crazy!"
Casey chuckled.
"You like kissing me, right?"
Zeke swallowed.
"That doesn't make it better," he murmured.
"Why ... "
Casey stopped and giggled hilariously as he saw Zeke pulling a face.
"It' okay, I like it, too!"
"That's the problem! You have no fucking idea of what you were doing!"
"Zeke! I'm seventeen years old, you know! I don't believe stories about cute bees and sweet flowers anymore. I know about sex! And I know that sometimes guys love sucking dicks and fucking each other. And it was just a kiss! So, where is the damned problem?"
Zeke stared at him thunderstruck.This was not the shy, unsure Casey Connor he knew.
"You've no idea of what you are talking about, Casey! You didn't still have a date till now, not to mention ...
"Who says?"
Zeke took a deep breath.
"You already have ...Oh, c'mon, this is ridiculous!"
"I can show you!"
He put his arms around Zeke's neck and pulled him down. Zeke struggled against him. It wasn't right. It felt all too good. He wouldn't do this. He felt Casey's lips on his and he returned the kiss all too willingly...
Finally Zeke freed himself and stared at Casey breathless.
"Damn," he murmured.
"Where the hell have you learned to kiss?"
Casey grinned.
"I think, I have no clue of anything?! Wanna get more? C'mon Zeke, let me show you how much I know!"
Zeke gasped for air. Fuck! Things were running quite out of control.
"Jesus, Casey, stop it, please! This is pure nonsense! I don't want ..., I don't want ... "
"What's wrong? What's the matter with you? Where is the big, cool Zeke Tyler? King of the Highschool! Come on, Zeke, normally you don't miss any opportunity! You are afraid of little, geeky Casey Connor?"
Zeke sparkled furiously.
"I'm not, okay!"
"Well, then do it, Zeke! I know you want it!"
"Shut this fuck up, Connor! I'm not gonna kiss you again! I'm into girls, do you get this? And I won't do anything what I'll regret later!"
Casey looked at him thoughtfully.
"You've never kissed another guy before?"
"Of course not! I'm not gay!"
Casey grinned mischievously.
"Fucking cool! You regret kissing me?"
"I ... yeah .... No, but ... oh fuck!"
"Good! Then tell me that you don't want me, Zeke. Just tell me to stop - and I will never try it again!"
"I want ... "
Zeke broke off when Casey straddled onto his lap. It felt so good, when his hands started stroking him. This little, sweet, demanding hands. Gliding underneath his T-Shirt, finding his nibbles. Zeke could feel Casey's cock becoming hard. And he pulled him even closer to feel more of him.
"This is ... not just kissing, Case! This is not fair!" he groaned.
Casey giggled.
"So what! You just have to say: 'Stop'!"
His lips found Zeke's neck, his tongue glided from the neck to his earlobe. Teasing, nibbling, softly sucking.
"Do you want me to stop, baby?"
"Oh fuck! Don't you dare it!"
Zeke put his head back and moaned.
"And can you do this again, please!"

From a single cell to a whole organism, how do animals grow into such diverse and complex creatures from their embryonic beginnings? What if we could follow and map a human's development from a single cell to the estimated 100 trillion cells that make us who we are as adults? How do embryos grow?
Above, The New York Times' ScienceTake shows us a glimpse of software "that can trace the life and movements of every single cell." Beautifully rendered in rainbow colors, the visualizations are the work of researchers at HHMI's Janelia Farm research campus. Thus far, they've modeled the development of fruit flies, zebra fish and mice, but with more research, this kind of cell tracking might lead to a better understanding of the human nervous system and inherited genetic disorders.
In the archives: more cells and more about the human body.

Read Acts 9:36–39. Dorcas had a great love for the Lord. She took time in prayer and studying the Bible. From her love of God came this great love for others. Notice that she always helped the poor – not only when she had time and resources, but always. What is our ministry? What has God called you to do? Who benefits from our work – ourselves, our pride or others? These are not easy questions to answer. Spend time thinking about your ministry. Read Acts 9:40–42. God raised Dorcas back from the dead because he had compassion on the people who mourned her. He used Peter to bring her back to life because the women who were her friends missed her so much. Her friends were the poor – the widows. When we leave our area for new work will people be glad or sad? Who will cry if we die? Like Dorcas, the woman who is now working with the Dorcas Club in Lusaka, Zambia, was also given a death sentence – she found she was HIV-infected. She became too weak to continue her work as a teacher. Depressed and confused, she turned to God to ask his guidance. Through him she was 'raised up' despite her sickness. He restored her to new life. He gave her a burden for full time ministry with poor women. Now, through the vision of this lady, the Dorcas Club trains young women to work alongside poor women – some of whom also have AIDS – in providing skills-training, love and compassion. Read 1 Thessalonians 1:3. May this be our prayer – for those in the Dorcas Ministry, Lusaka, and similar groups around the world and for ourselves.

4 Things You Didn't Know A Chiropractor Does for You
Most of us think of the chiropractor as the "back" doctor. After all, his job is to help you with your spine and any injuries related to it.
But that's not all he does.
A chiropractor's practice encompasses your entire well-being. Sometimes our injuries are exacerbated by our situations at home or at work. A chiropractor's job is to treat our injuries. That doesn't just involve adjusting our backs or giving us massages. Sometimes it involes a lot more.
Here are four things you didn't know a chiropractor can do for you.
Work on Kids
Yes, it's safe to take your kid to the chiropractor. In fact, it's encouraged.
Kids are resilient little creatures. From the time they started learning to walk they've fallen over numerous times. You've seen kids hit their heads, scrape their knees, bang their elbows and keep going without so much as an "ow."
That's why they need to see a chiropractor.
Unlike adults, children are not aware of the damage they've done to themselves. If an adult trips and falls, and he immediately checks himself for injuries. He may even monitor it for the next few days to make sure it's healing properly.
A kid will trip and fall and keep going. Three days later he'll wonder why his knee hurts – and so will you.
Taking your kid to a chiropractor is a preventative measure. It's just like going to the dentist or a general practice doctor. You want to make sure your kid is as healthy as possible. This includes his back, spine and all attached appendages.
Counsels You on Nutrition
Nutrition is an important part of your well-being. This is why chiropractors council you on it.
Chiropractors are doctors just like dentists and medical doctors are. They know a lot about the human body. Since the spine is literally the backbone of the body, they have to know everything that affects it. That includes nutrition. So if you have questions about your diet, you can talk to your chiropractor.
Manages Sports-Related Injuries
Sports chiropractors manage sports-related injuries. Sports medicine is a totally different field of medicine that comes with a high injury rate. Therefore doctors who work in sports medicine need to have working knowledge of the human body and how it works in sports.
If you play any kind of sport at all – even golf – you may benefit from a visit to your chiropractor. He can monitor you for injuries and give you tips on how to stay safe while playing sports.
Helps You Manage Stress
Stress is one of the biggest reasons people have chronic injuries. Stress prevents the body from healing properly. In fact it can make mountains out of molehills.
Your chiropractor knows this. Part of his job is to help you manage stress. This is for your overall health and for your injuries.
You can't completely heal if you're stressed out. Your body is devoting all of its energy into worrying and fretting instead of healing. This is what makes your injuries worse.
So if you have a problem with stress, talk to your chiropractor about it. He can help determine if it's causing any type of discomfort (tension, making chronic conditions worse,) and find practical solutions for managing it.
Your chiropractor does a lot of other things that you may not have known about. The statement "He's just a back doctor" is only a half-truth. Your chiropractor is a wellness doctor who happens to specialize in your back. He's just as qualified as any other doctor to help you manage stress, injuries and nutrition.

In Reply to: "BLUE BALLS" posted by MICHAEL on November 28, 2006
* You might consider editing your question to read "What does the phrase "blue balls" mean?" Use lower case, make the verb agree in number with the subject and, in this case, the auxiliary verb.
*When used seriously, the term refers to a condition well-described in numerous sources. I'll give you a part of what the Wikipedia offers:
*"The main cause of blue balls is prolonged sexual stimulation of the erect penis, either by direct or indirect contact, that does not result in orgasm and ejaculation.
"During arousal in a sexually mature male, the sympathetic nervous system decreases its inputs to the genital tissues, resulting in increased blood flow to the testicles and prostate areas. As this happens, other fluid outflow muscles constrict, causing more bodily fluid to enter the area than leave, ensuring a high enough regional blood pressure to allow a sustained erection for penetration during sexual intercourse.
"If orgasm is not achieved, blood and lymphatic fluid tend to pool, and the blood becomes oxygen deprived. The technical term for this is vasocongestion. In some men, this pooling of oxygen-starved blood may result in a bluish tint to the scrotum. It can be very painful, like a hit to the testicles except from the inside.
"Men with priapism or orchalgia may experience an extreme, prolonged form of blue balls, which may require medical attention."
*The article also discusses treatment or relief. When a homologous situation arises in a female it is called "pelvic congestion."

Chairman acknowledges 'big mistake' as clubs agree to rescind Laois Senior Football Championship
Wednesday night's Laois County Board meeting was an emotive and, in the end, controversial one, as the decision was made to rescind the championship up to this point and deem this weekend as Round 1.
In the process, the three teams which were in the relegation play-off - St Joseph's, Arles-Kilcruise and Stradbally - will now not face relegation, nor will they participate in the new format of the championship.
Below is a report, in chronological order for the most part, of what transpired at last night's meeting.
Laois GAA Chairman Gerry Kavanagh was first to address the meeting, as he offered an apology and an explanation of how Laois GAA came to be in this situation.
"I was to start by apologising for all of you having to be here. The sequence of events, in relation to the senior championship is that we should have sought derogation of rule 6.20.3, and we didn't.
"There is a simple reason for that - we made a mistake, and nothing other than that. We understood that the losers group was separate from the SFC proper, but this was not the case. It was as big a mistake as we could have made.
"No one is suggesting that this was a way for teams ending up in relegation of getting out. We are good, but we're not that good."
SEE ALSO - OPINION: Compromise and the easy life will see SFC proceed
Mr Kavanagh, from Stradbally, one of the clubs in the relegation play-off, then handed control of the meeting over to Peter O'Neill, the Vice Chairman. However, Mr Kavanagh outlined that he would remain in the room to answer any questions delegates may have had for him over the course of the meeting. He also confirmed that Secretary Niall Handy, also from Stradbally, would remain in the room to record the minutes of the meeting.
Peter O'Neill then outlined to the meeting the sequence of events leading to the emergency county board meeting, starting with the correspondence received from St Joseph's and Arles-Kilcruise relating to the problems surrounding the breach of rule in the SFC.
From there, a meeting of the CCC and County Executive took place on Monday night, where O'Neill stated 'all the different parameters' were discussed as to how to move the championship forward, and that the goal was to try and complete the SFC for 2014.
As a result, a proposal was brought forward which stated that. "The meeting reluctantly agreed to make a recommendation to County Committee that the relegation process in the SFC be set aside for 2014 and that we continue our Championship in the present format to conclusion."
O'Neill also pointed out that the JFC has not been in order for "two or three years".
He stated that at a meeting with the 12 senior clubs remaining in the championship, which took place before the County Committee meeting, that the consensus among those clubs was for the CCC to withdraw the proposed motion, and continue with the SFC.
Portarlington delegate Seamus Hunt then asked, in the interests of clarity, that the St Joseph's and Arles-Kilcruise delegates explain the motivation for their request, and outline the consequences of non compliance.
St Joseph's delegate Míchael Condron said. "We had a meeting when we discovered the problem. We don't want to be relegated, and our feeling was that there was a breach."
He also criticised the top table for using the word 'reluctantly' in their proposal, and that the proposal had essentially been written by his own club. He accused the top table of a lack of leadership on this matter.
He also said that he could not state what the consequence would be until he had spoken with his club, but added. "You can imagin yourself, the SFC is not in order."
SEE ALSO - Emergency County Board meeting called as relegation could be scrapped from SFC
Mr Condron later added that St Joseph's were "happy to walk off the field if the threat of relegation is gone."
Timahoe's Willie Ramsbottom said that his own club had been relegated a number of times, and while it was a "bitter pill to swallow", that "if you go down, you go down, and if you're good enough you'll come back up. In my opinion, there are too many bad teams in the Laois SFC."
Míchael Condron replied, saying. "If the SFC relegation was a level playing field we might not have been here. We would have to win twice, relegation is not a level playing field. Maybe if it had been a round robin."
Peter O'Neill outlined at this point that the format for the three-way playoff used to decide relegation was in order.
It was later put to Mr Condron by Seamus Hunt that if a Round Robin format was adopted for this year's relegation play-off, would the clubs be satisfied with that. Mr Condron said they would not, as that would still not rectify the fact the SFC was not in order.
Arles-Kilcruise delegate JJ Conway outlined his club's position, saying. "We were approached by St Joseph's, and it was pointed out a problem with the SFC and we were seeking clarification about the permission to give a bye in the second round of the SFC, and we went along with them."
The Heath delegate Mark Delaney pointed out that the proposal from the the CCC would not rectify the championship. "It should be pointed out that acceding to this proposal will have no change to the status of the current championship."
Míchael Condron responded, saying. "We made a request, if it is adhered to, I can guarantee won't object to it and no reason it can't go ahead."
JJ Conway added. "We have no objection to the SFC continuing with 12 teams. If a player was in breach of a rule he would be punished. The championship is in breach of rule, so there should be no club punished. Call it a loophole or whatever kind of hole you like."
At this point, Peter O'Neill outlined the format, which was subsequently adopted, whereby the former championship be rescinded and that the 12 teams begin a championship at Round 1 start this weekend. He stated this would leave no grounds for objection.
Some delegates, who attended both meetings, aired their dissatisfaction that this option was not discussed in the earlier meeting. Later, Central Council delegate Anthony Delaney pointed out that. "You can't say no one can appeal, everyone can appeal. The outcome, we don't know, but to say there can't be an appeal is incorrect, and it would start with the red cards from the previous rounds."
Seamus Hunt said he would endorse that proposal, but urged all those present to commit to a serious review of the football structures in the county, at adult and juvenile grades in both league and championship.
Oliver Phelan from Ballyfin added that most important thing was to keep the county intact, and that there be no big falling out.
JJ Conway added that he would "like to wish the 12 teams the best of luck. We have no qualms with the SFC going ahead. There was a loophole there and we grasped it, the same as any player who would come before the CCC in breach of a rule, and we are taking advantage of it, but I would like to wish the rest of the teams the best of luck, and may the best team win it."
At this point, Peter O'Neill put forward the proposal to rescind the championship, that the teams in the relegation playoff remain up for 2015, and that they begin the championship from Round 1 the drawn which already taken place.
as the debate continued, delegate for The Rock, Pat Murphy asked. "There was a serious mistake made by the board, who is at fault here?"
Gerry Kavanagh interjected at this point, stating. " I came in and apologised at the start of the meeting, I can't do any more than that.
"We made a mistake, and as county chairman, the buck stops with me, and I apologise again."
Willie Ramsbottom said Mr Kavanagh "should not apologise any more. No one here can stand up and say they never made a mistake."
Getting back to the proposal, the room was informed that it would take a 2/3 majority for the proposal to be passed. Seamus Hunt endorsed the proposal put forward by Peter O'Neill, and proposed it himself, with Mick Behan from Courtwood seconding.
A vote was eventually taken, with 46 present eligible for to vote. It carried with a total of 33 votes in favour.
