Kelly Stafford, wife to Rams star Matthew Stafford recalls wedding day problems 8256706221 The wedding season is in full swing, and Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams player Matthew Stafford, gave fans a warning in the latest episode on her podcast. Kelly Stafford revealed that guests at her 2015 wedding were given Nike shoes to help them with their feet after a night of dancing.

We made sure to get everyone’s shoe size when they sent their RSVPs, so we could have shoes for everyone.” Kelly Stafford said in “The Morning After” that it’s important to rest your feet after you’ve spent the night on them. She continued, “We didn’t have his shoes.” We didn’t have Calvin Johnson’s shoes.” Kelly Stafford also spoke about another nightmare scenario, but thankfully, her husband knows how run a 2-minute offensive.

She was like ‘Hey hon’, and I was asking, What’s up?’, and she replied, Nothing wrong, you don’t have Matthew’s shoe in your bag by any chance, do you? And I replied, No,’ then she said, â€OK, allrightâ€.” “If you are familiar with Atlanta traffic, they were already downtown. We did not live near downtown so they had drive all the way to the back to retrieve Matthew’s shoes, which he forgot, and to try to make it back in time for the wedding, which they did. But that was the biggest hiccup I think, and that was Matthew.” They just celebrated their 8-year anniversary last month. They have four daughters together. Matthew Stafford led the Rams to the Super Bowl in 2021. This was the second consecutive season that he played every game on the schedule. In 2022 he became a victim of the injury bug. He played nine games, and had 2,087 yards passing and 10 touchdowns. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams, celebrates with his wife Kelly at Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood on February 13, 2022.

Wander Franco’s maturation can bring both highlights and headaches. ST. PETERSBURG – Wander Franco is a multi-talented, dynamic player who does many good things for his Rays team. He helps them win with bat, glove, arms and legs. But the 22 year-old shortstop who is destined to be a superstar also does things that may leave team officials scratching or with a throbbing head. It’s not a major issue, but it is enough to attract attention when you are the face of a big-league franchise. The look-at-me maneuver of flipping the baseball to himself before throwing it to first base, on what would have otherwise been a routine groundout against Pittsburgh on May 3, created a debate about whether or not this was showboating and/or a way to display his immense talent. This move threatened to break down the Internet. Baseball is a lot of fun. Wandering is fun. #RaysUp pic.twitter.com/sWXuNq9ue2 Bally Sports Florida and Bally Sports Sun (@BallySportsFL), May 4, 2023 Franco did not run hard to first in several at-bats. This could be seen as preventive maintenance, given his leg-muscle problems. Franco will try to steal an extra base when he hits a certain hit. Franco has been one of the most aggressive base stealers on the team, stealing 18 bases (through Friday), while being caught five times. It is not uncommon for teammates to get into heated arguments, as Randy Arozarena did on Tuesday in the dugout. Franco’s attempt to make a play on a grounder was unsuccessful. Third baseman Isaac Paredes had an easier angle, which allowed Toronto to score. It wasn’t for the first time that Franco was accused of over-reaching and ball-hogging in order to make a catch. Franco’s position in the game, and any consternation over these issues, is at least partly a product of his standing and a kind of tradeoff. Franco, who has been praised for his baseball instincts and physical tools, was promoted to the majors at a young, and is now a key player on a winning team. He will be held to high standards and closely watched, both inside and outside of the organization. Petty jealousies can be common, especially when players spend so much time together. They may be over perceived special treatment, a locker in a prime location, or, as Franco found out, an adjacent rack that could hold several dozen pairs cleats. They can be a source of humor and teasing among more experienced players.

The Rays appear to be understanding Franco, seeing him as a good young man who is still growing up. They protect him whenever they can. It is notable that none of Franco’s perceived transgressions has prompted public criticism by his bosses or team-mates. Wander Franco, left, and Jose Siri celebrate the 9-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday at Tropicana field. Times ] Erik Neander, Rays baseball operations’ president, said: “He is a very talented and highly motivated person. He has risen so quickly that it’s easy for people to forget that he’s only 22.” “While we enjoy his impact, it is our responsibility to continue to help him grow and develop the tools that he needs to manage the stress attributable to playing the game. As we commit to doing with all players.” Franco isn’t alone in attracting attention with his actions. Jose Siri enjoys his home runs and shows off on many catches. Randy Arozarena’s arms-crossed motion, especially when it is done while he is rounding third base after a home run, seems to rile his opponents. Pete Fairbanks is often animated and vocal on the mound. It should also be noted that despite any distractions, the Rays have the best record of all the major league teams heading into Memorial Day weekend. Franco is the big deal. He will get the most attention. The Rays hope he continues to work hard for his team. Rays of rumbling The Rays are auditioning and interviewing for a new Tropicana field PA announcer.

Travel plans could be ruined by heavy rains in the East Coast before Memorial Day Weekend. The FOX Weather Center is tracking an unusual weather scenario that could lead to a tropical storm developing over the western Atlantic, causing a washout holiday weekend for parts of the Carolinas. The National Hurricane Center (NHC), in a Tropical Weather Outlook published on Wednesday afternoon, said that there was only a 10% probability that the storm would become a tropical cyclone or subtropical cyclone. This is because the storm is “forecast” to remain frontal and move northwards and inland this weekend over the Carolinas. The NHC stated that it is unlikely that the system will become tropical. It would need to lose both its cold and warm fronts, and develop a center of circulation. Britta Merwin, a FOX Weather meteorologist, said that “places like Atlanta” will have to pay attention to this because of the changes in the forecast and the fact that the models are coming together. “It looks like many people in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina are going to need indoor activities for Memorial Day Weekend.” Computer forecast models indicate that a cold front which has stalled in Florida this week may interact with spin developing at the upper levels of atmosphere. The National Hurricane Center’s latest forecast for tropical development along the Southeast coast. FOX weather A tropical disturbance that could cause rain on Memorial Day weekend may affect parts of the east coast. Paul Martinka Regardless of whether the coastal low is tropical or not, Florida communities can expect several inches of rain over the next few weeks. Over the Memorial Day Weekend, the low-pressure system will then curve westward and into the Carolinas. Some holiday weekend beach plans may be dampened by heavy rain, rough waves and gusty wind along parts of Southeast coast. In the Southeast, coastal regions will be affected by heavy rains, rough surf, and gusty wind later this week, and into Memorial Day weekend. FOX weather Jason Frazer, FOX Weather meteorologist, said that forecasts will be a bit off in the next 24 to 48 hours. “But we are really confident that there will be rain in the Carolinas.” You’re going to get hit with a decent amount of wind.” This weekend, 42.3 million Americans are expected to travel. The American Automobile Association predicts that 2.7 million people will travel more this year than last, a 2.7% increase and a sign of things to come. This weekend, more than 42 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home. Paula Twidale is the senior vice president at AAA Travel. She said that this Memorial Day weekend will be the third busiest since 2000, when AAA began tracking holiday travel. “More Americans plan and book their trips earlier, despite the inflation. This summer’s travel season could set records, especially in airports. Over the Memorial Day Weekend, the low-pressure system will likely curve westward and into the Carolinas. FOX weather This weekend, a large ridge of pressure over the Northeast will be the saving grace for those who live there. The forecast is dry north of Washington D.C. Merwin said, “It will also really hammer the coastal low into the Carolinas.” “A double-edged blade here, where we have some major impacts for the Carolinas due to that blocking high in the north. “This area of low-pressure can only be driven into coastal areas in South Carolina and North Carolina.” The combination of gusty wind and rough seas could lead to a greater threat from ripcurrents, which could extend from the Carolinas all the way through to the Sunshine State.

Park City prepares major roadwork along S.R. The summer traffic will be worsened by S.R. S.R. The S.R. Park City plans to do major roadwork this summer on the state highway between the intersections of Bonanza Drive, and U.S. 40. David Jackson/Park Record City Hall is planning to repave an extremely busy section of state highway this summer. This project will likely worsen traffic problems on a road that already has terrible backups. As part of the work, the stretch of S.R. As part of this work, the stretch of S.R. According to the municipal government, adjustments to the striping will also be planned. This would involve a slightly narrowing of through lanes on the eastbound and western sides of the road at the intersections of Bonanza Drive & Wyatt Earp Way. City Hall stated that the narrowing was designed to reduce speed and provide space for bicyclists and buses. The project “contemplates the conversion of soft shoulders to pavement in areas where current shoulders are below standard,” the municipal government stated in a prepared response to a Park Record question about the project. These sections of road are located on the south side S.R. The statement stated that the road is located on the south side of S.R. City Hall stated that if the full shoulder conversion is chosen, there will be a consistent shoulder between Bonanza Drive and Richardson Flat Road. This will allow eastbound transit vehicles bypass traffic congestion during peak times. The bid period was set to close on Tuesday afternoon. Officials expect to present a contract on June 1 for possible approval by Mayor Nann Worel, and the Park City Council. City Hall has not disclosed an estimated cost. If elected officials decide to proceed, the work will begin later that month or early in July. The completion date is expected in mid-September. The municipal government stated that the crews will be required to maintain one lane in both directions. The city will engage in a robust outreach to the neighborhood before any construction is undertaken. The statement stated that this would include information about a separate and simultaneous project to install new landscaping along the Corridor for beautification purposes and noise reduction. Officials expect to present a contract for S.R. Mayor Nann Werel and the Park City Council will be able to approve a contract for S.R. If approved, the work could begin several weeks later.

Unraveling The Mystery Of Ice Cream Headaches – The ‘Brain Freeze Phenomenon’ – Neuroscience News 825706221773 Summary Summer treats can often cause the dreaded “brain freeze”. Researchers believe that this sudden pain is caused by the brain’s reaction when the temperature inside the head rapidly drops. It causes an increase in blood circulation to warm up the area, and the sudden expansion of blood vessel is interpreted by the brain as pain. These headaches can be relieved by eating cold foods more slowly or warming the roof of your lips. Key Facts Brain freeze is a sudden pain that occurs in the head as a result of rapid cooling. The brain then responds by warming up the affected area. The brain’s response to heat causes the sudden expansion of blood vessel in the roof of your mouth. This is perceived as pain. Although it is unpleasant, brain freeze is not harmful. It can be avoided by eating cold foods more slowly or warming the roof of your mouth. Source: Virginia Tech Summer brings picnics and outdoor barbecues. But it also brings ants, sunburns, mosquitos and other unpleasant things. Even sweet, refreshing delights such as ice cream or carbonated slushies may cause an unpleasant surprise – the dreaded ‘brain freeze,’ a sudden, splitting migraine. What is a brain freeze, and how can you enjoy a cool treat without having to suffer one? Kristofer Rau, a Virginia Tech neuroscientist, explains how to avoid these headaches or at least make the pain go away faster. Q: What causes a “brain freezing”? The ‘ice-cream headache’ or “brain freeze” is a sudden, intense pain in the head that you experience when you drink or eat something very cold. Your brain has an important job in ensuring that certain parts of your body are kept within specific temperature ranges. [embedded content] Credit: Neuroscience News “Your head is important. The normal response to a cool stimulus inside your head is to try and warm that area up again. This is done by increasing the flow rate of warm blood in the blood vessels on the roof of the mouth. “This rapid expansion of blood vessels was perceived by nerve cells but the brain interpreted it as something painful.” Q: Why does it hurt? The suddenness of the blood vessel expansion causes a burst in activity in the nerve ends in the roof of the mouth. This intensity is interpreted as something we need to pay attention to immediately and do something about. The nerve endings can detect similar changes in blood vessel size, but they are more gradual. Q. How dangerous is a “brain freezing”? “Although the pain is unpleasant, it’s your brain’s way of protecting our body. Even though a temporary cold stimulus will not cause any damage, in this case. A ‘brain-freeze’ is not harmful, and should subside within a few minutes or seconds. Q: How can you counter a “brain-freeze”? Everyone is susceptible to a “brain freeze”. If you get a “brain freeze”, you can either drink a beverage that is at room temperature or you can press your tongue against your roof of mouth to quickly warm up the area. You can reduce the risk of a “brain freeze” by eating or drinking cold foods more slowly so that your body adjusts.” Q. How can you avoid a snare? “The only way you can completely avoid having one is to avoid eating anything cold.” It would be a sad summer without ice-cream and popsicles, so the risk of a ‘brain freezing’ is worth it.

Mom, 32, has had headaches and blurred vision for five days. She was having an stroke. In January, Amanda Lenza’s head hurt. Five days later, the pain spread from the back to the front of Amanda Lenza’s face. She woke up one morning with double vision after she wobbled. “That really caught me off guard,” says the 32-year old freelance ghostwriter from Lorain, Ohio, to TODAY.com. “I began texting my husband. I thought, “This is really strange.” “I don’t believe something is wrong. She lost feeling on the left side. Her husband called an ambulance when he returned home. She recalls: “I asked the paramedics, pretty much to their faces, “Am I having stroke symptoms because I feel that these are stroke-like symptoms?” Each stroke symptom in 15 minutes Lenza was watching cartoons with her daughter when she noticed that her balance had shifted. She then started seeing twos of everything. Her symptoms worsened after she texted her husband to ask for help. She was unable to stand and slumped on the couch. Her speech felt garbled. She couldn’t move her left arm. Her face began to droop on the left. Her symptoms were at their peak when she arrived at the hospital. She says, “I could not speak at all.” “I couldn’t move this side of my body… I began having trouble breathing.” Amanda Lenza was watching cartoons with daughter when she experienced double vision. She also couldn’t stand up without wobbling. Courtesy Amanda Lenza The doctors in the emergency room noticed that her vertebral vessels were blocked after a CT scan. They gave her a drug called a “really powerful clot-buster” to help break up blood clots that could lead to a stroke. Lenza’s case was not one of those times. “I got much worse, she says. She was transported by helicopter to the main campus of Cleveland Clinic. “I could not sit up or see straight, but I was aware,” she says. “All my brain damage was in the cerebral cortex and pons, (part of my brain stem), so it was physically affecting me. Mentally, I still had full awareness.” She was terrified and wanted to be with her daughter. She was terrified after the staff confirmed that she had a stroke. “I was wondering if I survived, how much of my body function would I be able to regain? Will I ever be able speak again? “Am I going to be in a position to care for my toddler?” Lenza asks. “I was afraid.” The doctors rushed her to surgery to place stents into her vertebral arterioles, the two arteries which run from the back of her neck to her brain. They only opened one. Rarely do people experience tears in both eyes. “The left one has been completely blocked.” She says it’s permanently damaged. “They put three stents in my right vertebral arterial.” After doctors removed her breathing tube she was able to sit up, move and speak again. After a day, she was able to get up and walk. She says, “It took a couple of weeks for me to re-learn to walk completely.” The National Institutes of Health states that the condition causes abnormal cell growth in artery walls, which contributes to the arteries bulging or contracting. She says that most people don’t even know they have it. “In my case (my arteries) are too weak.” She explains that doctors suspect that Lenza’s recent illness may have contributed to her problems. She had been ill for three weeks at the beginning of January. She was lying down and coughing hard with her head turned. This likely caused the rupture. Lenza explains, “It felt as if I had a torn neck muscle. So I ignored it.” “I never would have thought it was an artery damage. I thought I had just tweaked my neck. Bilateral dissection stroke Dr. Shazam Hassain, the doctor who treated Lenza, says that dissection of both vertebral arterioles is “unusual”. The director of the Cerebrovascular Centre at the Cleveland Clinic told TODAY.com that “we have two arteries running up the back our neck, called the vertebral vessels. These arteries go up to the rear of the brain.” “(She) had tears on both sides. Both on the left and right. When we see tears in blood vessels, there is probably a fragility to the blood vessels. Her doctors suspected that there was a underlying cause for her stroke, and this is how they discovered she had fibromuscular Dysplasia. The tears in her arteries made them “collapse,” which limited the blood flow to her head. Most people have it on one side, so they still receive some blood to the brain. Hussain claims that “Both tears limited the blood flow which resulted in… stroke”. They were only able to open the one side. “(With one) supplying blood flow… you’re good,” he says. “The other side was already closed.” It was not going to help her if she tried to open it, and it increased the risk.” He says that people often feel “very intense pain” when they dissect an animal. He says that “most people feel it is quite painful.” “It is unlike anything they have ever experienced before.” Amanda Lenza hasn’t been able to play with or carry her 16-month-old daughter as much since her stroke. She began walking while Lenza was hospitalized and that little bit independence helped. Courtesy Amanda Lenza Lenza’s symptoms are typical stroke signs. When it comes to stroke, people should be aware of BE FAST. BE FAST is: B : Balance E : Trouble with vision such as double vision or loss of sight F : Facial weakness A : Asymmetry, as in drooping on one side S : Slurred speech T : Time is brain Hussain says that a person who suffers a stroke will lose 2 million brain cells per minute. “The quicker you get to the emergency room, the faster the two types treatment will be provided.” Lenza’s life will be a little bit different now that she has experienced dissection. She cannot ride a rollercoaster anymore, she can’t keep her neck in an odd position for long periods and she shouldn’t lift anything. But her brain should be able to recover. Hussain claims that the brain has the ability to heal. Relearning and recovering Lenza estimates that she has regained ‘about 90% of her functions. She says, “I’m relearning how to type without looking at my hand.” “I don’t have that connection between my brain and hands anymore.” My balance was a bit off, but that’s improving gradually.” She also says that she has a delay in her speech and thoughts. She is grateful that she received treatment so quickly. “If I hadn’t acted so quickly, I don’t think I would still be here,” she says. “Time is crucial with strokes.” She hopes that her story will encourage others to take their own health concerns seriously. She says that mothers tend to put other things before themselves and don’t care for themselves as they should. “Paying more attention to my body and being a bit kinder on myself is the new model.”
