Drew Barrymore’s Engagement Ring Bling

by admin on February 7, 2012

Drew Barrymore’s engagement ring finger is once again sporting a diamond - and if her official engagement photo is any indication?

The third time may just be the charm…

Drew’s hunky art-consultant fiance, Will Kopelman, put a stunning colorless, 4-carat, radiant-cut stunner on the 36-year-old actress over the holidays, according to USWeekly.com.

“He’s madly in love and knows she’s The One,” a source told Us in October, adding that the actress was “yearning to get married and have kids.”

But first, let’s just bask in the glow of this new entry to the celebrity engagement ring Hall of Fame, shall we?
Kopelman designed the ring with Graff Diamonds (yes, THE Laurence Graff-owned bling-house that holds some of the world’s most valuable rocks - click here for more on that) - and while 4-carats isn’t the largest celebrity shiner we’ve seen by far (Beyonce, anyone?) the $120,000 estimated price tag is certainly Barrymore-esque, to say the least.
Want more celebrity engagement ring dish? Stay tuned for my posts on Jessica Biel’s engagement ring and (Oops, She Did it Again) - Brit-brit’s ring finger bling. (I guess my fantasy of a Justin/Britney reunion is now officially a 90s-era pop-star pipe dream.)
 
And check out the sale I curated on Jewelry.com with some of the top celebrity engagement ring looks for less! We’re talking Princess Kate, Ivanka Trump, the (still-married!) Khloe Kardashian and more!

As I mentioned in my last 2 blog entries, I often receive emails from clinicians with specific questions about clients. One clinician sent me 2 videos recently, which certainly helped. I’m still not in the room with my hands on the client, trying various options. But I can at least share some thoughts. One of these clients demonstrated significant extension throughout his body every time he attempted to activate his switch. Hmmm. First, I wanted to closely examine that pattern of movement. It seemed to start with spinal extension or lordosis. After that, his muscle tone took over and his volitional control (i.e. hit the switch) was greatly compromised. Second, I wanted to see what triggered this movement. The switch was by the side of his head which made me think he was triggering an ATNR turning his head toward the switch, resulting in this large pattern of movement. However, he extended before turning his head. The extension appeared to be an attempt to extend the head to reach the switch.

 I suggested the team explore an abdominal binder to inhibit the spinal extension. This is designed to cover the lower rib cage and upper pelvis. I hope that with this pattern under control, the team can look at the rest of his positioning and re-evaluate access to ensure that a switch by the side of the head is still the most optimal location.

Sunday night’s Super Bowl rematch between the New York Giants and New England Patriots ended like the script of a classic movie. Just four years ago, a scrappy quarterback named Eli Manning (often called the lesser brother of Peyton the Great) went up against an undefeated and three time Super Bowl winner in Tom Brady. That story ended with Manning on top, hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in the midst of falling confetti; Giants win Super Bowl XLII, 17-14. Fast forward to November 6, 2011 when that once scrappy quarterback does it all over again; Giants win 24-20 during the regular season. Fast forward to February 5, 2012 in a spectacular matchup that pitted Manning against Brady, for a third time in five years; Giants win Super Bowl XLVI, 21-17.

At the beginning of the season, Eli Manning was still being questioned as one of the elite quarterbacks of the NFL. When asked about it, he was honest: “Yes I am.” Then the season began and his team was struggling to stay afloat. At one point, the Giants were 7-7 and playing for just a slight chance at the postseason. After topping the first and second seed Packers and Niners, Manning carved his way onto the biggest stage of professional sports, where he is now in line for the Hall of Fame ahead of his brother, Peyton, having mastered and consistently beaten the last decade’s most successful franchise in New England.

During the course of the game, four Giants players went down: Travis Beckham with a torn ACL, Hakeem Nicks with a shoulder injury, Jake Ballard with a left knee sprain, and Antrel Rolle with an injury that went undiscussed by the commentators. In other words, not only did Manning find a way to win for the third time in five years against Tom Brady and the Patriots, but he did it while his best receivers kept reaching for medical attention. We here at the Brace Shop call that more than amazing. We call that elite. And the NFL agreed, giving Eli Manning a second Super Bowl MVP award.

Congratulations to the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants.

Our Football Shop is filled with braces and supports for those who suffer almost any kind of football injury. Each item comes highly recommended at a reasonable cost to you.

Welcome to the February meetup for the San Francisco Blog Club!

This month David Spark of Spark Media Solutions will be discussing video blogging, and how to find your video blogging voice. Here’s a short overview of what he’ll be focused on:

How can I discover my own style?” Tech journalist and founder of brand journalism firm, Spark Media Solutions, David Spark, offers up some examples of different styles of video blogging. He discusses the pros and cons of production of each, and their value for your audience.

As always, there will be free drinks, pizza — and lots of time for networking and sharing tips. Space will be limited, but you can reserve a spot for FREE here.

Welcome | 7:00pm – 7:05pm 

Talk by David | 7:05pm – 7:30pm

Drinks & Networking | 7:30pm – 8:30pm

Super Bowl XLVI: The Rematch

by admin on February 3, 2012

On January 30, 1994, the Buffalo Bills were sharper, more focused, and fully prepared to take on the Dallas Cowboys again. Just one year earlier, Buffalo and Dallas had met in Super Bowl XXVII, a contest in which the Bills lost horribly with a score of 52-17. Year after year, Buffalo had represented the best of the best in the AFC, representing their conference in four consecutive Super Bowls. Something had to give, they thought. Dallas can’t beat us the same way twice on the biggest stage, they said. How wrong they were. Dallas not only upset the Bills a second time, but put an end to all future success in Buffalo for almost two decades.

This Sunday marks a second matchup between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI (that’s ’46′ for all of you non-Romans). The last time these teams met in a Super Bowl, the Patriots were just 60 minutes away from a stellar, perfect season. Then it happened. Eli Manning to David Tyree. Helmet catch. Eli Manning to Plaxico Burress. Touchdown. Game Over. The ’72 Dolphins break open the champaign.

At the time, everyone called it a fluke. The Patriots had ruled the last decade in the NFL (with Pittsburgh a close second). And the Giants, well, they were a 6th Seed team that played inconsistently throughout the season, only coming together in just enough time to play their hearts out in the postseason. No one gave them a chance.

This year, NFL Fans who once again assume that New England will take their fourth trophy should consider this: en route to the Super Bowl, New York has already laid waste to the 1st and 2nd seeds of the NFC, those high flying Green Bay Packers and that stingy defense of the San Francisco 49ers. Whose to say that they can’t shut down Tom Brady as well? After all, they’ve done it before.

Sunday will show a contrast of two very different quarterbacks: a pretty boy star with three Super Bowl rings and a scrappy little brother with one ring. We’ve seen it. Whether it turns out the same way is why they play the game. Almost everyone is healthy. Almost everyone is ready. Bring on Super Bowl XLVI!

Our Football Shop is filled with braces and supports for those who suffer almost any kind of football injury. Each item comes highly recommended at a reasonable cost to you. No one can beat The Brace Shop prices, their service and their huge selection.

Tilt in space

Recline

Some of the clients you work with probably use a wheelchair that tilts. So what exactly is tilt and why is it used? When a wheelchair tilts, the clients position in space changes and they tip rearward. All the seated angles remain the same at the hips, knees and ankles. Recline, on the other hand, opens and closes the seat to back angle (see photos). Tilt is more common with children and for clients with high muscle tone. Both tilt and recline are commonly used for postural management, fatigue management and to provide a weight shift for pressure relief. Want more information? Go to Click Here
