Features: Michael Cheika heading back to Europe?
At least you can't say the new Wallabies coach, Ewen McKenzie, is playing favourites. His decision to select Matt Toomua ahead of Quade Cooper was difficult to predict, particularly due to McKenzie's close link (no, it's not a pun) with his Queensland Reds playmaker, but it shows that form not reputation is imperative.
McKenzie's decision to choose 10 Brumbies in his Bledisloe Cup team - six in the starting line-up, four on the bench - is wise, indicating that he has an open mind. Such a healthy representation is reward for an excellent Super Rugby season, and ensures almost half of the team is close to match fit- as their provincial season finished less than two weeks ago.
The promotion of Toomua to the Test ranks for such a tough initial international is warranted. When McKenzie took over as Wallabies coach, Cooper would have been his first choice at No 10. But Toomua's performance in the final weeks of the Super Rugby tournament - in particular the semi-final triumph over the Bulls in Pretoria - were substantial indicators he was now up to Test standard. That would have changed the pecking order.
Toomua has poise, never looks stressed, does not cause problems in the defensive line because there is no need to hide him, and will feel comfortable because of familiar faces around him, in particular Christian Leali'ifano at No.12. Toomua will play deeper in attack than would Cooper, but that could lessen the strain on those outside him. As Toomua and Lealiifano are reasonable midfield kickers, it also gives the Wallabies options if they want to mix up their play. Also Toomua could easily distract his opposite, Aaron Cruden, especially if, as in the Super Rugby final, he continues to rush up on the Kiwi in defence to limit space.
Still, expect Cooper to play a substantial role in this game, and it would not surprise if he is on the field before the half-time break.
James O'Connor has also returned to the more comfortable position of wing, with the only major question mark out wide revolving around new fullback Jesse Mogg, and what sort of game he will play. If he adopts a relentless kicking game, which was rammed down his throat by Brumbies coach Jake White this season, the crowd will probably start heading for the exits at half-time. If he takes a more adventurous role, we may at last discover whether Mogg is the complete player. This Test will be crucial in determining whether Mogg has a long future at the top level.
Up front, the most refreshing selection is that of Hugh McMeniman at blindside flanker. McMeniman, sadly, was a squad onlooker during the British & Irish Lions series, in which his "mad dog" attitude was sorely missed in a fluctuating Wallabies pack. He is the perfect up-front warrior needed to provide some sort of resistance to the All Blacks' marauders. Forget about his long absence from Test football; this is the type of encounter that McMeniman relishes.
As encouraging is the sight of Scott Fardy and Scott Sio on the reserves bench. Sio is the most promising Australian prop, by a long margin, and Fardy could easily be as effective as McMeniman. In the final month of Super Rugby, Fardy was the most penetrative Australian lock.
Overall McKenzie has opted for a fair selection process, rather than a forced one. You can't quibble with that.
Australia: Jesse Mogg; Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Christian Leali'ifano, James O'Connor; Matt Toomua, Will Genia; Ben Mowen, Michael Hooper, Hugh McMeniman; James Horwill (captain), Rob Simmons; Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, James Slipper. Replacements Saia Faingaa, Scott Sio, Sekope Kepu, Scott Fardy, Liam Gill, Nic White, Quade Cooper, Tevita Kuridrani.

FIRST TRAILER: DANNY TREJO stars in the upcoming sci-fi/fantasy series PARAGON: THE SHADOW WARS
Posted in: News.	Tagged: danny trejo, dilan gwyn, Erebus Horror, Fantasy, franziska schissler, justin price, khu, kincaid, paragon, paragon: the shadow wars, pikchure zero entertainment, sci-fi, shadow wars.	Leave a Comment
Action superstar Danny Trejo stars in Pikchure Zero Entertainment's new sci-fi action series Paragon: The Shadow Wars.
In a world where Reapers take souls and demons bargain with humans for their place in the food chain, a new descendent named Jael has emerged. After centuries of civil unrest in the real world, a new war is waging amongst those who are seeking to create a new after-life and Jael finds herself in the middle of it. She must venture into the dark world of Soul Reaping and embrace her new role as the Paragon.
Franziska Schissler, Dilan Gwyn, Khu, and Justin Price also star in the series. Currently out to networks, the project will be a 7-episode first season, with each 43-minute episode fixing on the human race dealing with the obliteration of Heaven.
Paragon is a sci-fi action series that follows the different factions of society as they deal with Heaven's destruction. With only a small piece of the after-life to live for, everyone from Death himself is fighting to claim the Elysian for themselves.
"We have always loved the Sci-fi fantasy genre, and we wanted to create a series that explored one of the most intriguing questions of humanity. Where do we go when we die? And what would happen if Heaven no longer existed?", says Justin Price, who is also a producer on the series alongside Khu and Franziska Schissler.
Price adds, "Paragon is an edgier and grittier cable style series in the vein of Firefly and Altered Carbon. I believe we have an electric hybrid that explores the human spectrum of dealing with loss and love in a stylistic way. Danny Trejo is outstanding as Kincaid, the half-dead leader of disbanded reapers."
Check out the first look trailer!
Paragon: The Shadow Wars is now out to networks.

Posted in: Movies.	Tagged: Anthology, chills down your spine, dead lantern, dead lantern pictures, Erebus Horror, Indie, Indie Film, indie horror, Movie Review, review, Short FIlms.	1 comment
It's been over four years since we reviewed the Shivers Down Your Spine Anthology. Made up of 10 stories, the original collection was a labour of love, taking four years and only $750 to complete! Now, Dead Lantern Pictures is back with twice the thrills, twice the kills and twice the chills! Their latest anthology, Chills Down Your Spine, is more ambitious than ever. The no-budget outfit from Nebraska have put together a wide variety of stories. From animation, western, film noir, a Lovecraftian apocalypse, even an intermission, the anthology has it all!
Just like Shivers, the Chills Down Your Spine anthology is laced with comedy, unusual storylines, unique characters and a whole load of b-movie goodness. Over 75 cast and crew members collaborated to make the collection and after nearly 5 years of production, we're happy to report that this anthology is even better than their first!
ROAD TRIP (Wraparound 1): Jeff, still searching for Sabiah after the events of Shivers Down Your Spine, finds a new lamp in an arcade. Upon rubbing it, out pops not Sabiah, but her little sister, Mahktoonah. Together, the two go on an ancient Road Trip that just so happens to be quite the odyssey…
C'MON BABY LIGHT MY FLAME (Wraparound 2): Sabiah's lamp is found by a sadistic killer who is biding his time in order to carve out her flame and bring about the destruction of the world!
THE DEVIL'S CORKSCREW: A group of thieves try to escape being hunted down by the owner of their stolen gold, all while dealing with their own internal issues in this intriguing Western.
ISABELLE RETURNS: Isabelle Wakeworth rises from the grave to murder horny co-eds in this animated tale of terror.
THE DITCH: A group of strangers come together and find something very interesting in a Nebraska ditch…
BED AND BREAKFAST: A young girl is hunted by a sadistic ghoul at an old Bed and Breakfast on a dark and stormy night…
INTERMISSION: Three individuals watch the first half of CHILLS DOWN YOUR SPINE and give you their important thoughts!
HYSTERIA!: A burlesque troupe arrives for a show on Halloween night only to be wrapped up in a comedic, Scooby Doo-esque murder mystery!
BLOOD MODEL: An artist tries to find inspiration in a beautiful model but finds he's having trouble getting his paintings to look right.
THE WHIRLPOOL OF NIGHT: A private investigator has to steal an object from a powerful woman with deadly results..
THE CALLING OF THE THINGS BEYOND: Reality begins to break and crack when a young woman finishes a cursed play…
As I'm sure you can tell, this is a LONG collection. But you can't complain that you're not getting value for money. They've even been courteous enough to provide an intermission!

Her Infernal Name & Other Nightmares
Posted in: Literature.	Tagged: Book Review, Erebus Horror, her infernal name, Her Infernal Name & Other Nightmares, horror, myst, Novella, other nightmares, review, robert ottone, robert p. ottone, the arborist, the monitors, Thriller.	1 comment
Her Infernal Name & Other Nightmares is Robert Ottone's second collection of horror fiction, and what a collection it is! There's no specific theme throughout, with a wide variety of topics that should entertain the vast majority of horror fans. Stories covering extraterrestrial life, the undead, gaming, animals, ants and… sugar. The diversity of the topics reflects Ottone's creative flair and this is evident in every story.
From waking fears to heart-breaking nightmares, this collection of short fiction is a glimpse into the terrors we face every day from the mind of Robert P. Ottone.
In "The Arborist," a woman hears the mysterious call of the forest.
Five friends exploring an archipelago find themselves set upon by the island's hungry inhabitants in "The Monitors."
A young woman confronts the mystery of her infertility in "Kelly Watch the Stars."
These works are joined by the title novella, Her Infernal Name which is about the cruel intersection of desire and desperation, and many other stories crafted in the hopes of keeping you up at night.
As with many anthologies, the collection contains stories of varying lengths with some just over 4 pages, yet each as impactive as the last. If you are looking for a series of short stories that will give you chills, a sense of unease, or just to satisfy your bloodlust, then this collection is for you.
You can purchase Her Infernal Name & Other Nightmares from Amazon here or Amazon UK here

C.M. Rosens Interview
Posted in: Interviews.	Tagged: cm rosens, Erebus Horror, horror, independent, Indie, indie author, indie horror, Interview, pagham on sea, the crows.	Leave a Comment
To coincide with our competition giving away a free SIGNED copy of The Crows, we interviewed C.M. Rosens to find out her writing influences, her motivation behind the novel and more. Check it out!
How did your interest in writing start?
My interest in writing started when I was really little and as an only child I had some imaginary friends – my mum and her parents encouraged me to write them down or to tell them about the 'adventures' I had in Dinosaur Land (I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was 5/6). I'm fairly sure you got there via a magic bubble that appeared around you when you jumped down a hole under a bridge, like Alice in Wonderland meets Journey to the Centre of the Earth / The Lost World. I'd seen the Disney film of Alice and read the illustrated Ladybird abridged books of JCE and TLW, so it was mostly a mash-up of that, but with a T-Rex called Lucy who was the queen who let me ride her. I've been making up stories pretty much all my life – writing is just a way of remembering them!
What made you choose horror?
I didn't exactly choose horror as a genre, I'd always thought I couldn't write anything like that. It turned out that the story I wanted to tell had a lot of Gothic elements (my favourite!) and was based on a romantic cosy paranormal mystery I'd written in 2013 for fun. The rewrite got a bit darker, had more body horror, and went into the darker side of Gothic tropes and conventions. The gory bits are fairly few and not that bad (in my view) but that's very much dependent on personal taste, I guess. Horror is such a broad genre with so many facets, but it gives you as a writer a lot of scope to explore personal and/or socio-cultural anxieties and concerns, the reasons why certain things frighten or horrify.
What was your inspiration behind The Crows?
Stephen King's Rose Red was a big influence on The Crows in its current form, and Salem's Lot, with the idea of a house being evil (Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson was actually something I read after the draft was done!) I wanted to invert this and create a house with a personality that was more three-dimensional than just 'evil'. Other influences include the Lovecraftian mythos, my own working class background and some real life experiences (not all my own), Hammer Horror films, the early seasons of Midsomer Murders and quite a lot of Terry Pratchett. I have a lot of time for the idea of people just trying to live their lives while surrounded by magic and various things going on.
Will there be a sequel to The Crows? Or anything else written in the Pagham-on-Sea universe?
There is a sequel to The Crows – the next novel is called Thirteenth, and follows the Porter clan more closely. I also have a short story, The Sound of Darkness, which is set in the council estate on the edge of Pagham-on-Sea, coming out in the anthology F is for Fear with Red Cape Publishing. There are a few more books linked to the town in various stages of planning and drafting, which will use overlapping settings and some overlapping characters, but will be standalones. One of them, Eldritch Girls Just Want To Have Fun, is a slasher-romance or goremance co-written with Nita Pan (author of Life and Death, a dark, tragic and philosophical short story in the Supernatural Beings anthology From Ashes to Magic). That follows a different member of the eldritch family you meet in The Crows, but that's mainly set in Brighton c.2016. It looks like it has series potential on its own, so watch this space.
Now you're a published author, what advice would you give to those just starting out?
I think my main advice for those starting out on their publishing journey is that it's not one-size-fits-all. There are pros and cons to every route, and in my case I chose self-publishing as I'd had good feedback from traditional publishing houses but it 'wasn't what they were looking for'. I also wanted to collaborate with artist Tom Brown (co-creator of the Hopeless, Maine graphic novels) and wanted to retain the creative control to include illustrations that I would otherwise have to negotiate with presses. However, I've got a publishing contract for my non-fiction popular history book, which is being published under my real name rather than my pen-name. I would say in both cases that a good editor makes a world of difference, especially one you can work well with. I've also had the benefit of good alpha and beta readers, and my books tend to have about eight pairs of eyes on them before they make it to the editor. I want to produce a quality product as well as a good book, so I think investing in that, however you do it, is really important.
When you're not writing what are you generally doing?
When I'm not writing, I'm not doing anything particularly interesting – I do like to travel though! Obviously not at the moment… and honestly, apart from walking and working, I don't think I've got anything exciting out of lockdown! I did take up Burlesque and Belly dance online though, but I can't continue with them due to my shift patterns.
If you were to set a goal for your future what would it be?
In terms of goals… I think my main one would be to get Eldritch Girls out there, which is one of my favourite passion projects and just so much fun to write. I would also like to get an anthology of Pagham-on-Sea short stories completed (co-written with Guillaume Velde) and get the sequel to The Crows out by Jan 2021. For personal goals – I would just like to be able to travel again. I haven't been to the USA/Canada since I was 14, and I'd love to go there again and visit friends I haven't seen for years.
And finally, who is your favourite horror icon?
My favourite horror icon is Sir Christopher Lee. I love Hammer Horror films and out of the greats of that era he's my favourite. Vampires were always my favourite monster as a kid and I will always have a huge soft spot for his Dracula.

Animal Among Us
Posted in: Movies.	Tagged: animal among us, Christian Oliver, Christine Donlon, Don Frye, Erebus Horror, Erin Daniels, Heather Tom, horror, independent, Independent Movie, Jasmine Dustin, John Woodruff, Jonathan Murphy, Larisa Oleynik, Movie, Movie Review, review, uncorkd, uncorkd entertainment, Whitney Davis.

At Erebus Horror we all love a good creature feature! They tend to be fun, gory and allow upcoming filmmakers to show their mettle. Sometimes the creature doesn't play the pivotal role, as seen in our review of 'Monstrous'. Other times, it's not actually a 'creature' at all! But with all instances, the movie can be hugely enjoyable providing it's got a good storyline, stellar acting and effective use of budget. So where does Animal Among Us sit? Let's find out!
Christian Oliver ("Sense8", House of Good & Evil) and Larisa Oleynik ("Mad Men", 10 Things I Hate About You) come face to face with hirsute terror in John Woodruff's highly-anticipated horror throwback, Animal Among Us.
Fifteen years ago, two teenage girls were murdered at Merrymaker Campgrounds. The case was filed as an animal attack, the camp was condemned, and the killer never found. But something horrific still waits in those woods, ready to kill again.
Also starring Don Frye, Christine Donlon, Jonathan Murphy, Erin Daniels, Heather Tom, Jasmine Dustin, and Whitney Davis.
Cited as 'Friday the 13th meets Dog Soldiers', the movie opens with a distressed woman covered in blood and with no indication as to what's happened. This then cuts to Oleynik in her role as ranger Anita. She drives into the Merrymaker Camp unaware she is being watched. From the creature's POV we see her depart, before it raises a clawed hand in all its beautiful, b-movie goodness. The tone is set and the movie certainly doesn't disappoint!
So lets talk about the acting. Animal Among Us is perfectly cast with an array of talent who all give an outstanding performance. Each took their role to a whole new level. Anita's driven and ambitious character is a stark contrast to sister Poppy's (Donlon) cautious, yet seductive manner. Then we've got the suave, self-righteous Roland (Oliver) and tough, cigar-chomping Burl (Frye). Throw in a bit of humour courtesy of Jonathan Murphy's character and you've got an exceptional lineup!
Now, storyline. It is a pretty good story. It's well thought out and has a number of twists and turns along the way that keeps it from going stale. The only problem is the creature. I'm not going to give anything away, but what I will say is that the movie does risk disappointing a lot of monster enthusiasts who go into this hoping to see a 'traditional' creature-feature. However, does the unconventional approach take anything away from the movie? I wouldn't say so. What I would say is selling the movie under the phrase 'Friday the 13th meets Dog Soldiers' is a bit misleading. I can kind of see Friday the 13th link (at a stretch) in that its set at a campsite… But Dog Soldiers? I have no idea where that link is.
Written by Jonathan Murphy. Produced by Murphy and Woodruff. Animal Among Us is available free and exclusive on Tubi from Uncork'd Entertainment

Once the snow melted into the sand, Utah successfully staged the first home tournament in the school's three-year history of beach volleyball.
The results were as mixed as Saturday's weather: The Utes took a 3-2 win over Colorado Mesa and dropped a 4-1 match to Boise State.
Merely being able to play seemed like a victory, after snow covered the Lassonde Courts – nicknamed "Ute Beach" – in the middle of the campus in the morning. "Oh, my gosh. I was like, 'Are you serious?' When we were warming up, my feet were numb. I'm glad it definitely thawed by the end," said Ute star Dani Drews.
Coaches and players raked the snow into the sand and competed as scheduled. The conditions were ideal in the evening, when Drews and partner Tawnee Luafalemana outlasted their Boise State opponents 26-24 in the second set to close out Utah's only win over the Broncos.
The Utes (5-7) will join eight other schools in the Pac-12 tournament, April 25-27 in Los Angeles to end the season.
Drews/Luafalemana also beat their Colorado Mesa opponents in two sets. Utah's other wins came from Lauren Sproule/Jessica Villela and Kenize Koerber/Megan Yett.
Beth Launiere, who oversees the program as Utah's longtime indoor coach, keeps analyzing how to mix offseason practice with beach competition. The Utes are likely to have more beach specialists in the future, she said. Club programs are emphasizing the sport, now that the NCAA's sanctioning of beach volleyball has created more opportunities for players.

Are You Feeling Psoas Hell?
"I Am Psoas Hell!"Lately, I have been getting clients who report hip and low back pain. Some even feel the pain in the groin making life a little challenging to say the least.
Because of the clinical implications these guys have, there are entire books dedicated just for them. Frankly, there isn't enough space for me to truly give them their due here. I will touch upon some of the major facts about them in this article.
The psoas muscles are long and flat. About 16 inches in length. They are also quite thick. In animals, it is referred to as the "tenderloin". My apologies to my vegatarian friends. Here is a link to an image of these muscles.
The way we stand, sit or walk can distort these muscles. Prolonged sitting is a huge factor in shortening these muscles as they remain contracted to keep us in a sitting position.
If you suspect you are having any of the above symptoms, there are a couple of things you can do. Since these muscles are in a state of excitement, you can visit a licensed massage therapist (that's me :) ) and they can relax these muscles in a very gentle and effective manner. Another is to retrain them. They are dysfunctional and will need to "re-learn" how to function correctly again. Here is a wonderful link I found on how you can retrain your psoas muscles.
If you have any questions regarding this information, feel free to reach out to me. You can email me or call me at 602-730-2508.
I look forward to seeing you in my cozy treatment room.
Our quick-flip lifestyles can be rather hard on our bodies. We spend so much time worrying about our next task, we never take time out for ourselves, let alone give ourselves anytime for any self-care.
Oftentimes, I will have someone visit me who is in a crisis, meaning they are in so much pain, they need to see me right away. When they call in such distress, I can only imagine their body will have substantial knots or as we like to refer to them, "trigger points".
The typical phone call or office visit usually sounds something like, "I must have slept wrong", "My low back hurts really bad", "I woke up with a headache" or they may say something like "I am having pain between my shoulder blades".
I get asked by a lot of my clients where do these nasty knots come from? Why are they there? There are many factors that result in trigger points so this isn't an easy question to answer. Because I get asked often about them, I feel I've been presented with an opportunity to address trigger points.
The definition of a trigger point by authors and pioneers in the field of trigger point study, Travell and Simons is, "a highly irritable localized spot of exquisite tenderness in a nodule in a palpable taught band of muscle tissue". Really, what that means is trigger points hurt like heck when the massage therapist places her elbow in them.
Now that we have the definition of a trigger points, let's delve more into their physiology. First, we must start with the basic unit of a muscle, the contractile unit known as a sarcomere. Trigger points exists when when these contractile units are unable to release from their contracted state. When these sarcomeres are unable to relax, they are unable to circulate blood and fulfill any metabolic need. This results in oxygen deprivation and can result in accumulation of metabolic waste products which can cause further irritation.
Individuals with trigger points near the neck and shoulders may report a numbness and tingling in their fingers. This is due to the enlarging of the muscle and its ability to compress nerves that have to pass through it. Sometimes, it is labeled by physicians and peripheral neuropathy.
The effects of trigger points can be far-reaching. Most individuals who are experiencing active trigger points will have limited movement. This is because trigger points will keep the muscles short and stiff. Trigger points also have an interesting effect on the central nervous system. Authors Travell and Simons have also listed some of these effects to be quite unimaginable from, reddening of the eyes, excessive tearing, blurred vision, droopy eyelid, goosebumps to persistent nasal secretions.
Avoidable muscle abuse such as chronic overloading in work situations also known as "overuse syndrome," repetitive motions injury," and repetitive strain. Basically, this means you worked the heck out of these muscles beyond their endurance threshold and now they are angry at you! I remember many years ago my right shoulder and neck would always hurt. It wasn't until I saw a massage therapist that I realized I was spending many of my days shuffling through airports and I would always carry my heavy laptop bag over my right shoulder.
There is the unavoidable muscle abuse that results from falls, accidents and collisions. Other muscle abuse can occur from surgeries where the muscle is cut and stretched, prolonged immobility such as casts can provoke trigger points.
Why do trigger points seem to come back? This too is a very complex question to answer. There are many factors that result in persistence of trigger points.
Physical Factors such as bone structure, physical irregularities, postural stress, poor work habits, repetitive motion, lack of excercise are some physical factors. One of my teachers said it best. I don't remember word for word what he said but here's the gist, during our lifetimes, we are always fighting gravity. It's tough on our bodies and if our bodies aren't supported in this fight, they will either give up the fight or scream like hell.
Nutritional inadequacies. A lack in vital nutrients such as vitamins, B1, B6 and B12 and C and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium have been shown in patients with persistent trigger points. A balance of calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium are required for proper muscle function. Inadequate ingestion and absorption of nutrients due to excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco are factors as well.
There are also emotional and psychological factors as well. Chronic tensing or guarding that never give muscles a chance to relax are sure to persist trigger points. In a previous life, I used to be an outage coordinator, where I was responsible for coordination of resources when an outage occurred. These were very stressful situations, I would sit for hours on end on a conference call bridge with my shoulders tensed up. I would go home with the worst tension headaches.
One of the best ways to mitigate these trigger points is to have a licensed massage therapist work them out. They are specially trained and skilled to feel for them and help them dissolve away. Keep in mind the factors listed above.
Lifestyle changes and regular bodywork will help keep your muscles and body nice and healthy.

This has been a very common question I've been getting in my practice. I've been asked this question so much, that I feel I need to address it here. This particular entry mainly answers the question regarding private insurance companies.
The short answer to this question is "no". The reason isn't because I don't want to. In my research, I discovered that if you practice massage therapy in the State of Arizona, private insurance companies won't credential you. Credentialing gives you the ability as a massage therapist to bill the insurance companies directly. Until the laws change, I currently am unable to do so.
I currently do electronic charting and will work with any HCP to track progress and help improve your condition. Some doctors' offices may be able to bill the insurance companies on my behalf to minimize your out-of-pocket cost.
If your HCP is unable to bill the insurance companies for my services, (more than likely this will be the case) I can furnish what is known as a "super bill". This is a detailed receipt that you would submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. The super bill will contain the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes and the ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases) diagnostic codes. Your physician will have to provide the ICD-9 codes in the prescription or referral. I have referral / prescription forms in my practice for your HCP to fill out.
Additionally, if you would like to have insurance cover your massage sessions, there is also a bit of leg work needed to see if you will be either reimbursed from your private insurance company or covered.
Is _________________________ a preferred/credentialed provider?
If you are receiving physical therapy or chiropractic care and you want to have your massage service covered as well, you cannot receive massage the same day as chiropractic or physical therapy. This is because it will look as though you are double-billing. The practitioner who submits the claim first usually will be the only one reimbursed.
I hope you find this somewhat helpful. If you are interested in having your massages covered by your insurance and have questions, feel free to contact me at info@mydivinetemple.com.
Another affordable option for massage / bodywork services is our monthly wellness plan. It's easy to enroll (no contract only 30 days notice to cancel). You can find out more information regarding our wellness membership here.

This is the first Ship's Cat Saturday thanks to a suggestion from Coco's Mom Carole from Toot Sweet 4 Two. She shares the story of her handsome cat Coco, a Snowshoe Siamese.
Yes, Coco is a boy. He joined their family when he was just 8 weeks old. They never intended to get a male cat when they went to the Humane Society that day, but Coco had his own plans. You can read more about the day Coco adopted Carole and Charlie in A Boy Named Coco.
Coco ended up at the Humane Society after being abandoned at birth and discovered on the side of the road. This trauma did seem to have an affect on his personality. Coco isn't very affectionate and won't curl up on your lap. He isn't really sure how to show love. Carole shares "When he was new to us at 8 weeks old, I worked and worked and worked with him, trying to get him to sit in our lap for a snuggle and a pet. But, he would just look at us, as if confused, with us big blue eyes and jump down."
Coco does still show affection in his own way. He sits beside Carole every night and wants him tummy rubbed. He plays fetch with his Midnight Crazy balls down the hall and Coco has a whole "ritual of shenanigans" as Carole calls them. This blue-eyed beauty shares the bed with Carole and Charlie and in return he shares his companionship and love with them. I call that a great trade off.
Such a pretty boy! Thanks for sharing his story, Elizabeth!
No problem Carole. He is gorgeous! Thanks for starting off Ship's Cat Saturday.

Underground Creators Pay Tribute to Late Producer Ken Woodruff and Tease Future Shows

Underground masterminds Matt Greenberg and Mark Friedman sat down with both Ron Cephas Jones and Jackie Earle Haley at the event. Greenberg says that though he was impressed with the material, under David Yarovesky's direction it ended up being a "sleeper script that no one in the world knew existed." What the show really needed was a collaborative voice. He recruited Hawkins to head the True West department and brought on "The Sopranos" writer and director Tim Van Patten to guide the show through its early stages.
Jones, who stars in the show as Abe Lucas, says he embraced the uniqueness of Abe's psychology. "The problem with Abe is a lot of us as humans don't allow ourselves to think about death," he says. "I think as actors we bring that to life."
Though Moonves doesn't encourage creative collaboration, Cephas Jones says that his experience with CBS was free of effort, with unlimited creative input. "They really do trust you," he says. "I feel like over the years they've become a little bit older and more liberal … we're not as prejudiced, maybe."
The writers worked to understand the political sides of the Underwoods. "I think the President would want a lot of the Underwoods' help," Shields says. That flexibility will help the network imagine other controversial projects moving forward. "I think they'll look at this show as 'Maybe that could work,'" he says. "Maybe it wouldn't. So I think it'll definitely make way for more diversity."

Deep Cuts: "The Parallax View" – 1974. Dir. Alan J. Pakula.
With Warren Beatty, Paula Prentiss, William Daniels and Hume Cronyn.
"Sorry, Mr. Tucker, you've got information I need. Money doesn't mean anything to me. This story's gonna mean more to me than ten thousand dollars."
Alan J. Pakula may just be the most important filmmaker during the 1970's. His trilogy of conspiracy and government cover-ups, "Klute", "All the President's Men" and "The Parallax View" all struck chords in American society during that time. His masterpiece, "The Parallax View" centers around the assassination of a prominent US Senator at the top of Seattle's Space Needle (mirroring the assassination of RFK) which is witnessed by journalist Joseph Frady (Warren Beatty). As he digs deeper into the assassination, he unravels a web in which he becomes tangled.
Frady slowly uncovers that a multinational corporation is behind every major world event – whether it be a disaster or a triumph. With the help of his editor (Hume Cronyn) Frady dives deep, and abandons his own life and identity to infiltrate the "corporation".
Frady's investigation sends him all over the country, and most people that he is interested in are either a part of this corporation, or sworn to protect it by any means necessary. The films voyeuristic tone and the lack of trust shown in the government is what makes this film so profound. This film was made at the height of Watergate, showing us as Americans, that we essentially shouldn't trust our own government.
Frady does enter the "corporation" to become a wet boy, or a sleeper – better known as an assassin. Frady is asked to take a questionnaire. The questions are simple but meant to provoke a reaction from you, hopefully more towards psychotic or violent. He's entered into this secret world where everything in the world is controlled, and nothing is left untouched.
The Parallax Corporation is dangerous and mysterious, we know nothing about it, and it's as ambiguous as the time period of David Lynch's "Blue Velvet". What makes this film work is the ambiguous tone, the ambiguity of the Parallax Corporation and the vast powers it holds.
Once Frady passes the questionnaire, he is made to sit in a dark room, and forced to watch a montage on a drop screen. Forget "A Clockwork Orange" – the montage that is displayed in this film is brutal and leaves you wanting to curl up in your bed with the lights on. The film marvelously crosscuts between both Frady and the images the montage displays. It's one of the best scene's I've ever seen.
This is the one film that isn't Beatty's where he is astoundingly brilliant. The man has been anything but prolific in his career and has chosen every single one of his films with much care and thought. Beatty always challenges us with his films and the roles he takes on (aside from "Town & Country" – but that was still fun).
Pakula has always made important films that pokes and prods our establishment. He's always lurking in the shadows of whatever power he's questioning. Most people I know have seen "All the President's Men" some have seen "Klute", but no one I know has seen "The Parallax View".

8 CHAPTER II THEORETICAL REVIEW
A. Vocabulary
1. The Definition of Vocabulary
The term vocabulary refers to a list or a set of words for a particular language, or a list or set of words that individual speakers of language might use (Hatch and Brown, 1995: 1). According to Suyanto (2007: 43), vocabulary is stock of words which the language has and gives meaning if we use the language.
Vocabulary is one of the important language elements. To develop language skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, the students should have sufficient stock of vocabulary supported by other language elements such as pronounciation and structure. It can be said that vocabulary should be taught first because it is the basic element of language which has crucial role in language learning.
gradually lost interest in learning. 2. Vocabulary Learning
In general, words are very essential and having lack of them makes the learners unsecured. Wilkins (1972: 111) states that the fact is that while without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed.
According to Hatch and Brown (1995: 373), there are five essential steps in vocabulary learning: 1) having sources for encountering new words, 2) getting a clear image, either visual or auditory or both, for the forms of the new words, 3) getting the words meaning, 4) making strong memory connection between the forms and the meanings of the words, and 5) using the words.
The first essential step in vocbulary learning is having sources for encountering new words. The learners' strategies here include learning new words by reading books, listening to radio and television, and reading newspaper and magazines. Other strategies may not be as personally interactive and interesting, but they do serve learners. For example, textbook or teacher-assigned word lists are source where learners s are source where learners may encounter new words.
of the words also appears when learners are asked to give definition for words.
The third essential step in vocabulary learning is getting the words meaning. This step includes such strategies as asking native speakers what words mean, asking people who speak the native language the meaning of new words, making pictures of word meanings in the mind, and explaining what the learners'mean, and asking someone to tell the learners the English word. Generally, beginning learners are given quite simple meanings, but more advanced learners often need more specific definitions in order to differenciate between near synonyms. The common way of getting the word meaning is by looking up the word in the dictionary, by having a bilingual friend or teacher explain, through context. Learners guess the meaning of words from the situation, discourse, and/or context in which they are used, and from the structure of the words themselves.
The fourth necessary step in vocabulary learning is making a strong memory connection between the forms and the meanings of the words. Many kinds of vocabulary learning drills, such as flashcards, matching exercises, crossword puzzles, etc., strengthen the form- meaning. Probably, the most traditional way of doing this step is to memorize words and the meanings from lists.
and receptive because the use of words is necessary for learners to test their knowledge of collocations, syntactic restrictions, and register appropriateness.
3. Teaching English Vocabulary to the Fourth Graders of Elementary School Teaching English to elementary school students as a local content is the students are expected to have skills of the language in simple English with emphasis on listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill using selected topic related to their environmental needs. Related to the objective above, the material for the fourth grade, most topics are about center of interest that they often face in their life. The topics include things inside a class and things around a school. Those topics are so familiar with students that may see it everyday when they attend to their school. So, it is easier for them to perform and absorb the words given which are about things inside the class and things around the school. There is no basic rule on how many words should be given to the fourth graders of elementary school. As ten up to eleven years old children, the fourth graders should not be given too many words. It is better to give them about seven or eight new words at one time.
school is focused on vocabulary. It is reasonable because vocabulary is the basic element of language from which has crucial role in language learning and should be taught first. In addition, the improvement of vocabulary elementary school is also an important aspect in the acquition of a foreign language because English vocabulary mastery in elementary school will influence the achievement in learning English at higher level. According to Suyanto (2007 : 43), English vocabulary which have to be learned by elementary school students are about more or less than 500 words.
Suyanto (2007: 15) states that elementary school students are children of six up to twelve years old. Teaching English as a foreign language to children is not an easy task because their attention span is limited. They learn best when they feel interested in lesson. Therefore, the lesson should be motivating, interesting, and the tasks should be short, fun, and varied. Vocabulary for the students of grade four that will be evaluated is about family, toys and games, and shopping.
4. The Procedures of Teaching Vocabulary Using O-Bingo game a. First Step
vocabularies. After that, tell them that today we are going to learn about toys and games
b. Second Step
The teacher writes the vocabularies in the whiteboard by asking them. For example, It is a toy, girls like to play it. It is funny. What is it? After that, they read the vocabularies aloud.
c. Third Step
The teacher gives some tasks. The task can be like a jumble word or arranging the word. It is to make the students understand about the vocabulary.
d. Fourth Step
Teacher evaluates the material that has been delivered by playing O-Bingo game. The students prepare a piece of paper and their stationeries. Then, they must write five words about toys and games. The teacher as a leader says one word first. It can be done by saying the clue of it or the meaning of it. If the word is same with the student's word, the student should scratch the word. It is done until the fifth word. The student who scratches the more words, he/she is the winner of this game. It can produce some winners. The leader should have one winner in this game.
e. Fifth Step
Then, they should submit it. These five steps must be implemented orderly.
5. The Evaluation of Vocabulary
According to Burhan Nurgiyantoro, there are some aspects of vocabulary that can be evaluated:
a. Pronunciation
The writer wants to know how the students can pronounce the vocabularies that they learn. They still have not known how to pronounce the English vocabulary. So, the writer will evaluate their pronunciation after they get the material.
b. Spelling
Spelling is an important thing to memorize the letters of the vocabulary. The students of grade four need to know how to spell a word in order to understand the letter of the word. So, the writer wants to know how they can spell the vocabulary in English.
c. Meaning
As we know that to learn a foreign language, we need to know the meaning of it. It's to make us understand what the native speaker means. So, in this case the writer wants to evaluate how many vocabularies and the meanings of them that the students catch in teaching learning process.
d. Memorizing
stock. So, The writer wants to know how many vocabularies that the students can memorize in a meeting.
In this research, the aspects to be evaluated are spelling and meaning. As we know that the students of elementary school are visual and auditory learners. They will learn English by seeing the form of it first, and then they will know the meaning by listening and seeing the form.
6. Kinds of Test
In this research, the writer will use an objective test to measure students' English vocabulary mastery at grade four at SDN 2 Purbalingga Lor. The kinds of objective test are completion and matching. The total number of completion item is ten and for matching item is ten. The total item is twenty items. According to Burhan Nurgiyantoro (2001: 76-77), there are four advantages of objective test
a. Objective test is possible to take all of the materials which will be evaluated in objective test than essay test. To make objective test is faster than essay test
b. Objective test has only one correct answer. This condition makes high reliability of test result.
c. It is easy to check the students' answer with the provided keyword. d. The result of objective test can be checked quickly and the result is
believable.
Disadvantages of objective test are :
b. It is tend to focus on the certain topic, so the test is not comprehensive.
c. It is possible for the students to answer the test by guessing.
d. Objective test is usually long format so it needs much cost to provide it and long time to type and copy it.
In this research, the writer uses completion and meaning test because they are more useful in encouraging the students to learn English vocabulary.
B. Games
1. The Introduction to the English Game
According to Ayu Rini (2008: 7), English is an important need that should not be ignored at this time. In the working world, English has become a common requirement for job-seekers. Recognizing the large role mastery of English is very promising future for a brighter future.
of learning that can be done. English game is usually done in post activity session during English lessons, is after the teacher gives the material. The game can be a repetition of material already taught or simply as entertainment leisure time fillers, but should be able to make the students feel excited, while they learn to compete in a healthy, growing confidence and work in teams.
2. O-Bingo Game
a. The Definition of O-Bingo Game
According to Ayu Rini (2008: 67), O-Bingo is a modification of the Bingo game, where players will also select vocabulary that they want and then match with a vocabulary selected by the leader game. The leader of game stands up in front of the class, beside blackboard.
b. The Disadvantages and Advantages
There are some advantages in O-Bingo game: 1) Number of players in this game is unlimited.
2) This game is interesting for students because the procedure of this game is easy to understand especially for the students of grade four.
3) It can encourage all students to be active in the class.
While for the disadvantages, there are only two disadvantages in this game:
1) Teacher is difficult to handle all of the students in playing this game.
2) Sometimes students only focus on some suitable vocabularies with the teacher's vocabularies
3) It can produce some winners. So it needs long time to get only one winner.
c. The Procedure of O-Bingo Game
There are some steps to play this game, such as:
1. In this game, each player must provide paper and writing instruments they will use to write the vocabulary later.
2. O-Bingo begins with a leader that asks players to mention the examples of vocabularies that they are learning. It is appropriate with the syllabus.
3. Then, the leader of this game or the teacher writes the vocabularies on the whiteboard. For example the theme is about profession.
5. Then, each students as players should write five kinds of profession in a piece of paper and the teacher also selects and writes five vocabularies.
6. After that, the leader will say five kinds of profession. The players listen to what professions the teacher says and they match their words with the leader's words. For the same words, the players should cross the words. The winner in this game is the player who crosses the most words.
C. Basic Assumption
Learning vocabulary has always been a difficult process for students and teacher. The classical problem is that students are bored and unmotivated in their learning process. Considering this problem, teacher should have a set of guiding principles that can be applied in a variety learning situation. Teacher also should be able to provide media that can attract students in their learning.

Try these fun recipes to give your customers an exciting reason to visit your store all summer long!
Black Forest Ice Cream is a flavor that comes from it's more famous counterpart, Black Forest Cake.
Black Forest Cake originated in Germany and is named not directly after the Black Forest mountain range in southwestern Germany, but rather from the specialty liquor of that region, known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch(wasser) which is distilled with tart cherries. This is the ingredient, with its distinctive cherry pit flavor and alcoholic content, that gives the cake its flavor.
Cherries, cream, and Kirschwasser were first combined in the form of a dessert in which cooked cherries were served with cream and Kirschwasser, while a cake combining cherries, cookies / biscuits and cream (but without Kirschwasser) probably originated in Germany.
In this manual you will find general information for making high quality frozen desserts. The recipes are standard guidelines for making Hard Ice Cream, Frozen Custard, Gelato, Italian & Water Ices Sherbets and Sorbets.
This guide is provided to you by I.Rice and Company.
The freezing of ice cream is accomplished in one of two freezers, a batch freezer, which makes a single batch of ice cream at a time, or a continuous freezer, which freezes continuously.


Currently intrenched in the usual battle of illness, long days and indecision that follows having a good time. It maybe a pessimistic point of view but I can't think of one person I know who has missed the dreaded lurgy and/or had a pleasant time filling in their tax return.
So with that and the general dreamlike quality of what we would like to do against the reality of what we are doing -here's two new pics of going on holiday and eating cake.

Brochure of Stinson Beach at Golden Gate National Recreation Area (NRA) in California. Published by the National Park Service (NPS).
Stinson Beach National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Golden Gate National Recreation Area History Shell mounds found near the beach suggest that Coast Miwoks were one of the first human residents of the area. They thrived on local salmon, trout, mussels, and clams, building homes and boats of willows and tule reeds. By 1822, California was claimed by Mexico. The beach and lagoon areas, named "Rancho Baulinas" for the local baleen whales, was given as a land grant to Rafael Garcia by 1836. Over the years, cattle ranching and an apple farm brought economic prosperity to the quiet region. However, with no roads leading Transition & Tradition The town began to evolve in the 1890's, when Nathan and Rose Stinson began to set up tents among the beach-side willow trees. They were calling their new tourist destination "Willow Camp." In 1896, the Mill Valley and Mt. Tamalpais Scenic Railroad brought rail service to nearby West Point Inn. Visitors could now ride a ferry and train from San Francisco and then catch a stagecoach down to Willow Camp, all within one day. The community blossomed following the 1906 earthquake, when displaced families from San Francisco built some of the town's earliest businesses. Automobiles which made travelling to remote locals more accessible started appearing in the town renamed Stinson Beach in 1916. With the completion of the Panoramic Highway in 1928 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937, Stinson Beach became a popular weekend destination for weary San Franciscans. During World War II, the threat of attack changed the quiet community. The surrounding hills bristled with gun emplacements and military personnel became a common sight. Following the war, the guns were removed, but many soldiers who served in the area stayed to make Stinson Beach their home. During the late 1800s, Stinson was part of a popular resort area, and continued to attract tourists. In 1839, the County of Marin purchased it for camping and picnicking, and the US Coast Guard used part of it during WWII. The beach was turned over to the State of California in 1950 to help preserve the quiet charm of Stinson Beach. By the latter half of the 20th century, modern transportation made the area easily accessible, and the pastoral setting was in danger. Soon after the establishment of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in 1972, the beach, as well as much of the land east and north of town, came under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. Emma Reiman was an early winner in the Women's Dipsea "Hike," run from 1918-1922. Preservation to the village until 1870, visitors were few and far between. Over the last century one tradition has endured — the annual Dipsea Race. Begun in 1905 and run each June, it attracts runners from all over the world. The rigorous and historic Dipsea Trail is over 7 miles long, from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach, passing through forests and meadows, hills and valleys. The race is the second oldest footrace in the United States. Today, visitors continue to experience the pleasures of this quiet beach community. Whether hiking, enjoying a picnic, exploring the town, or relaxing on the beach, people continue to find Stinson Beach a great place to escape from the frantic pace of everyday life, just as it has been for over a century.

Recreational Activities Park Hours Safety Stinson Beach is open year round every day. The entrance gates open at 9:00 a.m. Closing times vary depending on season. Check the posted sign when you enter the parking lot. Swimming is only recommended from late May to mid-September when lifeguards are on duty. Watch your children and keep them in reach at all times. Never turn your back on the ocean. Unexpected large waves, called "sneaker waves," can wash farther up the shore than expected. People entering shallow water can be caught in rip currents and quickly pulled out into deep water. Rip currents are strong, swift-moving channels of water rushing from the shore out to sea. If you are caught in a one: stay calm and swim parallel to the beach until you are out of the current, then swim toward the shore with incoming waves. If you need assistance, wave your arms and yell for help. Facilities Stinson Beach facilities include rest rooms, showers, picnic areas, and BBQ grills. A snack bar is open during summer months at the base of the main lifeguard tower. Rest rooms are located along the beach adjacent to each of the parking areas. The shower (cold) is located at the central rest room building. Picnic facilities are available on first-come, first-serve basis.
