It Is Time For The Hairline Cha Cha Cha Animation! What Can You Do???

[DistressedAmerican]

Here's a little animation I threw together while trying to teach myself this animation program. It highlights one of my special skills. I can completely move my scalp back and forth about an inch and a half with the muscles in my mighty furrowed brow. That change in general hair shape is mainly sloppy cropping but, I liked the effect so I left it...

If I Do Not Get Some LOL's Out Of This I Will Be VERY Sad!
==================================================================

I also had 5 not 4 wisdom teeth. I had four pulled and another one came in about halfway and jammed there. The pros could not believe it until they saw the x-rays. My dentist wants to extract. But, it does not hurt so, I see no need to go there AGAIN!

Another related medical anomaly I have it is that opiates basically do not work on me as painkillers. They tried to knock me out for the teeth and couldn't. Just went ahead anyway with me awake but incapacitated. It was awful when I had my appendix out. Woke up screaming when the gas wore off. took them several hours to pump enough into me to make it stop.

How about you? Do you have an oddball talent or personal medical anomaly you'd like to share?

I'm quite curious!!!

1. Sorry . . .

I couldn't observe your special talent because I was hyp-mo-tized by the glint on the frames of your glasses. :crazy:

2. I Rather Like It. Thought about removing it but added to the movement!

I couldn't stop staring at it either!

Are you Alex Jones?

4. I can fold the tip of my tongue back on itself

and hold it there. I can also roll it lengthwise. Apparently, the tip folding is due to recessive gene. OK, I'm ready for smart comments now.

Neato scalp/hair animation, BTW.

6. Wow Links And Everything! You Real A Real DUer!

I should try to google my issues and see what comes up!:bounce:

9. God I Love Google! Apparently This Is Something YOU Can Learn

to do! Come On Give It A Try!

The propose it may help with hair loss. I have been doing it since I can first remember. What do you think? Is it working?

Learning to control the scalp muscles

My approach to baldness would be straightforward if the scalp muscles at the back of the head were easy to control. They are not. These muscles, the occipitalis muscles, are voluntary but people usually have lost control of them. When they are not used they get small, almost to the point of disappearing. The task now is to regain control of them, to tone them up, and to make them stronger. I think the following suggestions will lessen the difficulty of gaining control of the occipitalis muscles.

First, a bit of trivia. Twice as many men compared to women can wiggle their ears. This has significance. If a man or a woman can wiggle the ears, it means that there is contraction of the muscles at the back of the head. These are the muscles that must be alternately contracted with the muscles at the front of the head during the scalp exercise.

Step number one in the learning process: Stand in front of the mirror and raise your eyebrows (contract the frontalis muscles). Next, try to pull back your ears (contract the occipitalis muscles) as you relax your forehead. There will be only a small, almost imperceptible, movement at first when you are trying to pull back your ears. The contraction of the muscles at the front of the head will be easy. These muscles are fully voluntary. The muscles at the back of the head will require a lot of work.

Step number two: Visualize the muscles at the back of the head by looking at the drawing of the epicranial muscles. Now place your fingers over the two muscular slips at the back of the head and try to detect contraction when you move the scalp. These strategies will eventually pay off.

Tom,

WOW! I am very glad I watched your CD because I was doing the scalp
exercises completely wrong, but there is one good thing that I benefited from
doing it the wrong way. My scalp seemed very flexible. I have to admit that
after my shower today I put some mineral oil on my forehead and did your 2
exercises and let me tell you, "My face felt very tight," like a face lift
would probably feel. I just got your CD today in the mail along with the
booklet and watching your CD made me feel 100% better now because I know that
I'm doing it right. I got it today (July 6, 2004) and I am very pleased I
bought it. Also, I'm doing the exercises and I am doing them right. THANK YOU! Feel free to post this or I'll e-mail you back in a couple of weeks to let you know how I'm doing. Thanks AGAIN TOM

10. Laying A Little Scap Science On You. This Movement Is Known As "Scalping".

SCALP
Extends from the supraorbital margins, over the cranial vault to the superior nuchal line of the occipital bone and laterally into the temporal fossa.

The scalp consists of 5 layers:

S - thin skin with hair follicles and glands

C - Connective tissue which is thick and dense

A - Aponeurosis - essentially a intermediate tendon (c/w digastric m.) the galea aponeurotica connecting the bellies of two flat sheets of muscle - the frontalis from the skin above the eyebrows and the occipitalis from the highest nuchal line on the occipital bone. Together called the occipitofrontalis or epicranius. Motor nerve supply - facial n.

L - Loose areolar connective tissue which allows extensive movement of the scalp - "scalping"

P - Periosteum of the underlying bone of the cranium.


Blood Supply: basically from branches of the ophthalmic and superficial temporal a.'s

Nerve supply: branches of the trigeminal anterior to the ear branches of the greater and lesser occipital nerves from cervical spinal nerves.

11. Apparently It Can Help Relieve Head Aches (When Done Manually)!

Tight muscles ­ Everyone has tension in their life; in many people this results in tight muscles. Take a hand and grasp your hair, now move the hand and feel if your scalp is loose. If it is tight this same process done all over the hair can loosen the scalp and it frequently can relieve a headache. Muscles in the neck can pull on the bones hard enough to cause headaches. Sometimes the neck vertebrae get pulled out of place enough to disrupt the head and the back. Control Muscle Release Therapy can find muscles that cause bones to get out of place and relax them so that they can slide back to their normal location.
