Artist: Bonnie Tyler Track: I need a hero Lyrics Album: Holding Out for a Hero
Where have all good men gone ?And where are all the gods Where’s the street-wise Hercules ?To fight the rising odds ?Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong And he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There’s someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong And he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life Up Where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I would swear that there’s someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach Like a fire in my blood I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night He’s gotta be strong And he’s gotta be fast And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life

Posture/ how to lift properly without hurting your back
Lifting an object from the floor (or from any height lower than your waist) is potentially dangerous. The heavier the object, the greater the risk of injury to your back.
The incorrect way to lift is shown opposite. The knees are relatively straight – as a result, the subject has to bend over with his back in order to reach the object in the first place. From this position, the only way to lift the box is to use the spine (as opposed to the legs). Note also, that the head is angled backwards, with the neck bent – this compresses the neck and leaves the back even more susceptible to injury. The correct way to lift is now shown (to the left). The knees are fully bent, allowing the object to be grasped without bending the spine. The whole back, including the neck, is kept fully straight at all stages of the lift. You will note that the subject isn’t looking at the object (he is looking straight ahead). This locks the vertebrae in the spine, prevents them from moving, and hence lowers the risk of strain. If you need to look at the object in order to pick it up, do so during the preparation phase (noted below) – but reposition your neck before you lift.

The whole movement can be broken down into a series of distinct phases:
Preparation
Approach the object, and plant your feet firmly on the ground, at least shoulder-width apart. Bend down with your knees, without bending over or twisting your spine. Make sure that you’re close to the object – lifting an object at arms-length increases the load on your spine substantially. Grasp the object, keeping your back and neck straight. Locate and isolate your lower abdominal muscles; draw them up, and in, towards your spine – this will support your back, prior to lifting. Do not tense your neck muscles, or over-arch your lower back – these are common mistakes. Before you lift, take a deep, slow breath – fill your lungs as much as possible (within reason), breathing in through your upper and lower chest.
Lift
Hold the load close to your body, and use your knees to lift. The centre-of-gravity of the object should be kept as low as possible. As you lift, keep your lower abdominals tensed (up and in), and breath out slowly. Keep your neck and back straight at all times – don’t over-arch your lower back, or tense your neck.
Carry
Continue to breath, whilst keeping your lower abdominals tense. Some people hold the tension by not breathing – this is very bad for you. If you need to change direction, now is the time to do so – when you’re upright, and with the object close to your body. You should never move an object by bending over and/or twisting.
Put Down This is essentially the same as the lift, but in reverse. The potential for injury is just as high, so you must be careful to observe the following instructions: Plant your feet firmly on the ground, at least shoulder-width apart. Bend down with your knees, without bending over or twisting your spine. Continue to breath, whilst keeping your lower abdominals tense. Make sure that you keep the object close to you, with the centre-of-gravity as low as possible. Keep your back and neck straight (do not look at the ground or the object as you bend down). Do not tense your neck muscles, or over-arch your lower back. If you need to determine exactly where to put the object, do this either before you lift, or before you put the object down. About Sydney Back Clinic While we usually talk about more in-depth medical topics, sometimes it's good to be reminded of some easy things you can do (or add to your current treatment approach) to help your back and neck feel better. We hope that this topic and the information help remind you to make your back health a priority during the busy holiday season.

Back To School Do It Now! Tips To Get Ready For Back-To-School Move over, summer--a new school year is coming!
With the start of school, families face new organization challenges. School bells ring--and so do early-morning alarm clocks. Paper piles swell as hand-outs and homework stream into the house. Shorter autumn days bring a hectic round of sports, activities and events, and calendars fill with cryptic notes. Can the holidays be far behind? Get organized now for the best school year ever! Use these ideas to prepare your home and family for the busy days ahead:
Ease the family into a school year schedule.
The first day of school is no time for a drastic adjustment of household sleep schedules. Instead, ease children back into a school year routine gradually. During the last two weeks of summer, re-introduce a school year bedtime. Begin waking late sleepers earlier and earlier, closer to the hour they'll need to rise when school begins. Don't neglect mealtimes! Younger children, in particular, need to adapt to new meal routines before the school day demands it of them. Plan meals and snacks to accustom little ones to rituals of the school day before the school year begins.
Create Calendar Central
Each school year floats on a sea of schedules. School functions. Lunch menus. Scout meetings and music lessons. What do you do when you're drowning in paper? Nothing calms school year chaos like Calendar Central: a centralized site for all family calendars and schedules. You'll need a family event calendar to track after-school activities, school programs and olunteer work. Add specialized calendars and schedules, and you have it: a one-stop shop for family time management. Form is less important than function. A paper calendar with large squares lets you enter information easily. Pre-printed white board calendars are easy to revise when necessary. Color-coding entries by family member helps keep busy lives straight. Paper planner fans dedicate a planner section to serve as Calendar Central, while tech-savvy cybergrrrlz store the info in a smart phone or tablet and sync with multiple computers. Choose a calendar format that works for your family. Post the family event calendar in a public place near the telephone. Use magnets to attach the calendar to the refrigerator, or tack it to a bulletin board. Add other calendars to Calendar Central: school lunch menus, class assignment sheets, sports practice schedules. When the room mother calls for field trip volunteers, you'll know at a glance whether you're free to join the group on the bus that day.
Plan before you shop
August is the second-biggest sales month for clothing retailers. Back to school clothing sales begin as early as July! Are you prepared to run the school clothes gauntlet? An informed shopper is a savvy shopper, so prepare before you shop. Take an afternoon and assess each child's clothing needs. Empty drawers and closets of outgrown or worn-out clothing, and either store or donate the discards. Working with your child, clean and organize clothing storage before new garments are added--and cut down on school morning calls of "Mom! I don't have any clean . . . . " Develop a wardrobe needs list for each child. Check for possible hand-me-downs from older siblings as you make your list. If you discuss the needs list and the family budget with your children before you shop, you'll avoid in-the-store tantrums. Similarly, ask the school for classroom supply lists before shopping for school supplies. Forewarned is forearmed ... and helps protect the family budget. Do shop early! With back-to-school sales beginning in mid-July, tardy shoppers have a tough time locating needed supplies among September's Halloween costumes and Christmas decorations.
Gather your papers
School entry may require documentation from immunization records to report cards from the previous school year. Athletes need proof of medical examination. A little preparation can prevent frantic lastminute searches for a birth certificate or registration confirmation. Call your child's school or check the school district Web site beforehand to find out what paperwork will be required--then find it! You won't be sorry come registration day.
Take aim on morning madness
How are school mornings in your home? Crazed and chaotic, or calm and cheerful? Plan ahead to send your schoolchildren--and yourself!--out the door in a happy frame of mind. Each evening, think ahead to the following morning; where can you lighten the load? Set the breakfast table as you clear the dinner dishes, and make sure breakfast foods are easy to reach. Lay out children's clothing the night before. Scan backpacks or launch pad spaces for missing homework, projects or library books. Make sure musical instruments or sports bags are packed and ready to go. Do "bathroom wars" break out daily among the small fry? Multi-child households may need a bathroom schedule so that everyone gets equal time before the mirror. What do you do about books and papers, lunch money and permission slips? Practice the Launch Pad concept! By creating a dedicated space for every family member, a Launch Pad gets the family out the door in record time--and organized.
Make a practice run
How will children get to school? The first day of school is no time to find out it takes ten minutes--not five--to walk to the nearest bus stop! Before school begins, make a practice run to get children to the school on time. If they'll walk, help them learn the route they'll take and note the needed time. Car-pooling? Make sure the dry run accounts for early-morning traffic! Bus riders will need to be familiar with the location of the bus stop; print and post the bus schedule to prevent a missed bus.
Twitter Users : 100,000,000 Twitter Reveals Active User Number, How Many Actually Say Something 100,000,000. That's Twitter's magic user number, apparently. Twitter has finally revealed how many people actively use its microblogging service worldwide, and it's significantly higher than the 21 million estimated by Business Insider earlier this year. According to CEO Dick Costolo, Twitter has 100 million active users currently, though not all of them are saying anything Costolo's presentation in fact provides all sorts of fascinating details about who's using the micro-blogging service as well as how. For example, the 100 million active number is only half the number of registered accounts with the service, and of that 100 million, almost 40% log in merely to see what other people are saying. More than 50 million users log in each day, and the daily average number of tweets is in the realm of 230 million—up 110% since January. What's more, over 55% of Twitter's active users access the service via mobile devices, though direct traffic to Twitter.com is up 70% since January, topping 400 million monthly unique visitors
Facebook Doubles First Half Revenue to $1.6 Billion You've come a long way from the dorm room, Mark Zuckerberg. Reuters recently reported that Facebook's revenue has doubled to $1.6 billion in the first half of this fiscal year. I'm guessing Zuckerberg has forgotten about those instant noodles a long time ago. The figure is nearly double what Facebook made in the first half of 2010. Reuter's source said that Facebook's net income was approximately $500 million, which would put it on target to make $3.2 billion for the year, with a net income of $1 billion. Spare a few dimes, my friend? ReadWriteWeb speculates that a big portion of Facebook's increase in revenue has come from a bigger share in advertising, though Facebook has started to diversify its investments. However, its projected growth rate at the moment would still fall short of expectations that the company would surpass $4 billion this year. Meanwhile, there is still no hint on when Facebook will go public (you know, if it ever does). But why worry about that now when Marky Mark can kick back in his homey crib? Oh hey, that's a nice ottoman. I can't believe I haven't noticed it before
