Western Regfonals by JERRY WOJCIK LOS GATOS, California, August •- "i'-- 20-21.

  • What People Say About Chiropractic
    What people say about Chiropractic "I am very fortunate to have, so-to-speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. So, I visit Franco regularly, and he comes over to my house. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries he's always there for me, and helps me. So it's really terrific, and I know that first hand. That's why I always will be traveling around, all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers, and that's why it's really great to have you here, part of the Arnold Classic. Because, like I said, the Arnold Classic and Fitness Weekend are about health and about fitness and preventive care." Arnold Schwarzenegger "If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal." Dan O'Brien Decathlon Gold Medallist Appearing in films like The Patriot and Braveheart has taken its toll on Mel Gibson. "You get hurt all the time. All you gotta do is just like eight takes of running down a hill and you twist an ankle," the action pic veteran tells TV Guide Online. "I got a chiropractor to come along to the [Patriot] shoot, because they can actually stick you back together within 15 minutes. He used to come every other week, from Los Angeles to South Carolina spend a week and work on the entire crew.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Mostly Distance) Running, Part I
    Out of the bushes, ahead of the ambulance, and into the spotlight: milestones in the history of women’s (mostly distance) running, Part I BY CHARLES HOWE 1896 Stamata Rovithi, an impoverished 35-year-old mother who had lost one of her two children the April 11 preceding January, attempts to enter the first Olympic Marathon, but women are not allowed, and her application is rejected. Instead, Rovithi runs the marathon course the day after the official race. Departing from Marathon in the morning, she arrives at the outskirts of Athens 5½ hours later. Along the way, she had stopped to watch the ships sail by. 1926 Briton Violet Percy runs a marathon in London, from Windsor to Chiswick, in 3:40:22. October 3 Authoritative information is scant, and the performance is still regarded with some skepticism, however, this is often given as the first world marathon best for women. 1928 Under pressure from the Fédération Sportive Féminine Internationale (FSFI), women’s athletic events are included for the first time at the Olympic Games in Amsterdam: the 100 meter dash, 800 meter run, 4 x 100 meter relay, high jump, and discus throw. After the 800 meters, several competitors lay down on the grass in exhaustion from the intense heat, and require assistance. Reflecting the appropriate dismay of respectable society at this unsightly display, antifeminist elements of the press seize on the incident as evidence of the unfitness of women for endurance events; for instance, the London Daily Mail quotes doctors who claim that races over 800 meters could cause premature aging.

    DedicaÆie: Lui Vlad Månescu PREFAæÅ Lucrarea de faÆå cuprinde câteva sute de biografii çi discografii ale unor artiçti çi trupe care au abordat diverse stiluri çi genuri muzicale, ca pop, rock, blues, soul, jaz çi altele. Cartea este dedicatå celor care doresc så-çi facå o idee despre muzica çi activitatea celor mai cunoscuÆi artiçti, mai noi çi mai vechi, de la începutul secolului çi pânå în zilele noastre. Totodatå am inclus çi un capitol de termeni muzicali la care cititorul poate apela pentru a înÆelege anumite cuvinte sau expresii care nu îi sunt familiare. Fårå a se dori o lucrare foarte complexå, aceastå micå enciclopedie oferå date esenÆiale din biografia celor mai cunoscuÆi artiçti çi trupe, låsând loc lucrårilor specializate pe un anumit gen sau stil muzical så dezvolte çi så aprofundeze ceea ce am încercat så conturez în câteva rânduri. Discografia fiecårui artist sau trupå cuprinde albumele apårute de la începutul activitåÆii çi pânå în prezent, sau, de la caz la caz, pânå la data desfiinÆårii trupei sau abandonårii carierei. Am numit disc de platinå sau aur acele albume care s-au vândut într-un anumit numår de exemplare (diferit de la Æarå la Æarå, vezi capitolul TERMENI MUZICALI) care le-au adus acest statut. Totodatå, am inclus çi o serie de LP-uri BEST OF sau GREATEST HITS apårute la casele de discuri din întreaga lume. De aceea veÆi observa cå discografia unui artist sau a unei trupe cuprinde mai multe albume decât au apårut în timpul vieÆii sau activitåÆii acestora (vezi Jimi Hendrix, de exemplu) çi asta pentru cå industria muzicalå çi magnaÆii acesteia çi-au protejat contractele çi investiÆiile iniÆiale cât mai mult posibil, profitând la maximum de numele artiçtilor çi trupelor lor.
