You should be so proud of yourself, mama!
Are all Earth Mama Angel Baby products really organic?
It`s a sensible question, especially in light of the many products falsely claiming to be natural or organic. You can check Earth Mama Angel Baby labels for the organic certifier for extra assurance. All of Earth Mama's teas, Happy Feet, Angel Baby Bath Blossoms and Postpartum Bath Herbs are USDA Certified 100% Organic. Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash and Happy Mama Body Wash are USDA Certified Made With Organic Ingredients. Angel Baby Lotion and Earth Mama Body Butter are certified Contains Organic Ingredients according to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard. Each Earth Mama product has as many organic ingredients as they can pack into it, but some essential ingredients aren`t available as organic yet. And of course Earth Mama products are free from toxins and any worrisome ingredients, like artificial preservatives, fragrances, dyes or surfactants.
But, what does "organic" really mean?
It means that the plant was grown with respect for the earth, the soil, the farmer and you, the consumer. Certified organic farms adhere to strict standards, growing crops without the use of harmful pesticides or the usual dose of toxic chemical fertilizers. Manufacturers of certified organic products have to undertake a monumental process that assures consumers of the purity of each ingredient, process and final product, through every stage of manufacture.
Why aren`t ALL of Earth Mama ingredients organic?
Simply put, some ingredients just don`t exist in an organic form, such as Vitamin E oil, and some ingredients are not available certified organic. Sometimes the herbs used are not cultivated, they grow in the wild and are harvested with respect for sustainability and the integrity of the plant population. Since Mama is a member of United Plant Savers, they do their best to support practices that ensure healthy population of herbs growing in the wild. You will see these herbs listed as "wild harvested."
What`s Earth Mama Angel Baby`s position about the use of palm oil?
Earth Mama Angel Baby shares your concerns about deforestation and conservation, which is why they use only sustainably harvested palm oil in Earth Mama Angel Baby products. Their passion about caring for mamas extends to Mother Earth too, and they strive to use herbs, oils and butters that are grown and harvested only in ways that honor the earth, her people and her resources.
Does Earth Mama Angel Baby use lanolin, SLS, parabens or other synthetic preservatives?
No, and they never have.
Should I be worried about using that stuff?
There are a lot of uneasy concerns about some of the ingredients commonly used in personal care products. Mama never wants you to have to worry about those things, so she has worked very hard to formulate the purest, safest products for mamas and babies.
If you don`t use synthetic preservatives, what do you use to preserve your products to make sure they are safe and free of bacteria and mold?
All EMAB organic herbal bath and compress mixes are sealed in UV coated amber jars to protect the delicate herbal goodness in the leaves and roots from the light, and to help them resist temperature changes. The oil-based products, salves and massage oils don`t contain water so they don`t need a preservative to keep out the unpleasantries that can grow there.
Lotions, on the other hand (or knee, or elbow), are made by emulsifying (blending) oils and water. And because of their rich, organic and natural ingredients, they can become a perfect medium for nasty bacteria or mold. To combat that, Earth Mama`s 100% organic preservative system is a certified organic alcohol extract of skin healing and moisturizing organic herbs. Beneficial to you, and safely preserved too!
Where is the expiration date on EMAB products?
Earth Mama uses a simple code that is their Sell By/Best By date as well as the batch and lot code. You will find a printed number that looks like this: 201109. 2011 is the year and 09, September is the month by when that product is guaranteed to be at their best.
I have an expired product - will it hurt me, or my baby?
Earth Mama Angel Baby stamps a Sell By date on all of products as a freshness guide for resellers and customers, but this isn`t an expiration date. To be sure of the quality of their products they keep a sample from each batch of each product they make. Some products in this sample inventory are over five years old and are still just fine! That said, you should always use your own best judgment, if it smells "off," don`t use it. You can extend the life of oils and salves by making certain they stay cool and out of direct sunlight. So, don`t store Earth Mama Angel Baby products on a windowsill or in the trunk of your car and they should be fine for at least a year past the Sell By date.
I need to know if your products will irritate my or my baby`s allergies.
You are the best judge of what is safe for you and your baby. You know your body best. Please read the ingredients to see if any of your known allergens are in the products. If you have specific questions or concerns about product safety, allergies or ingredients, it is always best to consult with your Midwife or Naturopathic Doctor or another trusted healthcare professional who is knowledgeable about the use of herbs during pregnancy and when breastfeeding a baby.
I am vegan, are all Mama`s products vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes they are, certified vegan in fact! Earth Mama Angel Baby uses no animal products, like lanolin, and balms are made using plant based wax instead of beeswax.
Why are there little white specks in my Natural Nipple Butter and Angel Baby Bottom Balm?
The white specks are shea butter and may appear in both the Angel Baby Bottom Balm and Natural Nipple Butter. When shea butter is cold, it solidifies. When it is warmed by contact with your skin, it should quickly melt and become a soft consistency again. Products made with natural ingredients like herbs and essential oils may vary in appearance across lots and final product batches, as they have no yucky additives to create false consistency.
Is Angel Baby Bottom Balm good to use with cotton diapers?
You bet! In fact, Earth Mama Angel Baby receives wonderful feedback from you - their customers - saying that it is the BEST with cloth diapers!
Do I need to wash the Natural Nipple Butter off my breasts before breastfeeding my Angel Baby?
No, it`s safe for both you and your angel baby. Read the ingredients!
Why did my Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash turn cloudy?
It`s because during shipping it just got too cold. When the temperature drops, the natural fatty acids in these products begin to solidify and appear cloudy. Just pop your Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash into a cup of warm water and it will clear right up. Cloudy or clear, it will lather up and clean your pure, organic angel baby naturally!
How do I heat my Booby Tubes if I don`t have a microwave?
One of Mama`s Helpers took this question on, and took some Booby Tubes home for a little experiment in her own oven. The results were terrific - as long as you don`t forget to take the Booby Tubes out of the oven! Preheat your oven to the lowest setting (that was 170 degrees on Mama`s Helper`s oven), place your Booby Tubes in an oven-safe dish, away from the heating element, and heat them for 10-15 minutes. After 15 minutes they don`t seem to get much warmer, so that seems to be all the time they need. Please set a timer and keep a very close eye on them while they are in the oven! One advantage of the microwave is it shuts off automatically, so with a regular oven you`ll have to be more diligent.
How do I clean my Booby Tubes?
Just wipe the outside 100% organic cotton with a damp cloth. It is important that you don`t submerge them in water (or put them in a washing machine) as they are filled with flax seeds and if they get wet, they may sprout (really!!)
Why do you use plastic jars? Why don`t you use glass jars?
Earth Mama Angel Baby`s commitment to honor the earth and her valuable resources extends to their packaging as well as their natural and organic ingredients. They are even the proud recipients of the BRAG (Business Recycling Award Group) for green practices, and are always looking for ways to better what they do. At this point, the plastic PET bottles and jars they use are the safest containers for both the products and the customers. These containers are colored to keep out harmful UV rays. The PET used is the most readily recyclable and the safest plastic manufactured.
Earth Mama Angel Baby products were originally packaged in glass, until they found out a woman was cut opening a jar of Natural Nipple Butter that had broken in transit. The last thing EMAB wants to do is hurt a mama with sore nipples! And they know that containers can end up bumping and slipping around changing tables and bathrooms, and can end up in little mouths too, so they choose to package diaper cream, nipple cream and baby oil in tumble and teething resistant plastic jars.
Earth Mama Angel Baby`s opinion is that glass presents a much bigger safety concern than plastic. And as always, they`re looking for the safest, purest way to keep mamas and babies happy!
About Earth Mama Angel Baby
Earth Mama Angel Baby`s pregnancy, childbirth and baby products were, ahem, born of their sincere faith in the natural process of birthing babies. Supporting the pure process naturally with nature`s gifts makes sense to them. They don`t think of pregnancy as an illness, merely a phenomenal process that has many wonderful and sometimes difficult stages. Earth Mama Angel Baby trusts in the wise women who have historically exalted the glories and eased the common discomforts of pregnancy naturally.
They use the highest-quality, certified-organic or organically grown herbs and oils for their teas, bath herbs, gentle handmade soaps, salves, lotions and massage oils. Their products are 100% toxin-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and free from all artificial preservatives, fragrances and dyes. The commitment to honor the earth and her valuable resources extends to their packaging as well - Earth Mama uses only eco-friendly recyclable or reused/reusable packaging and packing materials. It`s true - they are even the proud recipients of the BRAG (Business Recycling Award Group) for their green practices.
Just as our foremothers did, Earth Mama Angel Baby honors the ancient knowledge of natural and herbal remedies and plant medicine. The wisdom we rely on has been passed down from great-grandmother to grandmother to mother to daughter, which is combined with the safety and assurances of contemporary evidence-based research.
The mamas (and honorary-mama papas) at Earth Mama Angel Baby are a dedicated and diverse group of nurses, herbalists, labor and postpartum doulas, childbirth hypnotherapists, childbirth educators, women, mothers and grandmothers. And a father or two. They strive to provide research, tools and products to empower women with knowledge about the earth`s natural resources for nurturing themselves and their angel babies.
Growing, birthing, and nurturing babies are natural and wondrous processes. Let`s care for our angel babies and ourselves - naturally.

Michigan School Privatization Survey 2008
Privatization of school support services is a time-tested means for lowering educational costs. The three major services that school districts in Michigan contract out for are food, custodial and transportation. The Mackinac Center for Public Policy's survey of privatization is the longest running and most comprehensive source of school support service data in the nation.

The congregation at The Chapel at Crosspoint supports Mullins love for mission work.
Music comes naturally to Buddy Mullins, worship pastor at The Chapel at Crosspoint in Santa Rosa Beach.
He had an early love for music, nurtured by his mother, a classically trained pianist, and his father, a preacher/worship leader.
"He took our family on the road in evangelism when I was eight years old," Mullins told The Sun. "He placed a bass guitar in my hand and told me to learn how to play it."
Traveling across America, Mullins, his sister and parents held week long meetings at churches � and somewhere during those years Mullins fell in love with "communicating through music."
"Being homeschooled left me many hours to work on singing and playing instruments," he said. "Along with the bass guitar, I also learned to play the piano and acoustic guitar. One of the first songs I learned to sing was one my mother wrote called �This Poor Man Cried,� an upbeat Southern Gospel style song."
One of the first songs written by Mullins was "In Heaven," written when he was only17.
"Since we had been traveling full time since I was 8, I did not really have a town to call home or friends that I saw every day. It spoke about doing the work of ministry and not worrying about settling down until I got home to heaven."
As he got older, Mullins worked more and more on his music, and the family was asked to do concerts with other Christian artists. They were part of Bill Gaither's Praise Gathering event in Indiana and appeared on many of Gaither's Homecoming videos.
Eventually Mullins was contacted by Gaither and Michael English about joining the Gaither Vocal Band as new lead singer when English's solo career was too busy for both positions.
"These were some great times and very busy times flying all over the country to catch up with whichever group I was performing with at the moment," Mullins said. "I am so honored to have had the opportunity to work with Bill and I am still a part of a few things each year with the Gaithers."
For many of those years, Mullins felt his calling was to encourage believers from the platform, but he said he became focused on building his own career.
"There�s nothing wrong with doing that either, but somewhere along the way the latter became a greater pursuit than the former," he said. "I never lost my love for ministry; it just got overshadowed by self."
As God stepped into his life, Mullins career was put on hold.
"Without the platform, I had lost who I was and even what my life was about," he said. "Over the next couple of years, God would show me that He was not mad at me or finished with me. Truly I found that He was pursuing me. God would redirect my path toward one of worship leader. The main difference in this was trying to learn how to lead on stage and yet get out of the way and point all attention to Christ. I know that Christian music should always be about that, but sadly for me it had not been. This was a growing experience."
The Chapel at Crosspoint is the second church Mullins has served as worship leader.
"The main change from performing concerts to worship leader is that I serve in the same church for most of the time. My traveling has greatly reduced in the past five years."
Mullins said that in a concert setting an artist plans to take the audience on a trip with a style of music or a certain message.
"In worship leading the desire is to encourage the audience to engage in communication with their heavenly Father," Mullins said. "The bible says that God inhabits the praise of His people. How powerful is that? To know that if we lift Him up, He will come and take up residence in our midst. I have personally seen this happen upon quite a few occasions and it is like nothing I can explain."
Hope for the World
In 1993, Mullins' parents began a full time ministry with Hope for the World, a faith based humanitarian organization that provides for the needs of the poor and orphaned children while sharing hope in Christ.
"Though Hope for the World is in many countries, the country that my parents have worked with is Albania," Mullins said. "They began with just one orphanage and now, 20 years later, there are eight orphanages, a senior adult ministry, a handicapped orphanage, and a Hope Center for teens after they have grown too old to be in the orphan homes."
Mullins and his wife, Kerri, have felt led to become involved not only in Albania, but with the entire work of Hope for the World.
"God has been dealing with our hearts about this for some time," he said. "Part of what we will be doing is helping to raise awareness about the many mission works being carried out in these countries, as well as making trips to these places."
But how do you combine a love for music and a calling to mission work?
"We all know that music is universal and it transcends language barriers so I know that God will continue to use this area of my life," Mullins said. "Exactly how, we will have to wait and see, but I have a desire for His voice to be heard and however He chooses to do that is fine with me."
The congregation at The Chapel at Crosspoint is supportive of the Mullins' love for mission work and also their work at the church.
"Never in our lives have we experienced God move and confirm our decision more directly. We love the people of the Chapel, are blessed that they love us, and we look forward to many years of fruitful service together. We are so glad to be a part of our community here uplifting Christ in relationship which is true worship."

The sudden increase in pressure and temperature from lightning produces rapid expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave which produces the sound of thunder.

US stocks inch up; Citi leads banks higher
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are notching small gains on Wall Street, giving the market its longest winning streak since January.
The Dow Jones industrial average got a boost from a big gain in Boeing. Traders were relieved that the cause of a fire in one of Boeing's 787s was not the plane's batteries, which had grounded the plan earlier.
The Dow gained 20 points, or 0.1 percent, to 15,484 Monday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 rose two points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,682. Both indexes are at all-time highs, not counting inflation.
The Nasdaq rose seven points, 0.2 percent, to 3,607.
Banks rose after Citigroup beat analysts' earnings estimates.
Three stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was very light at 2.6 billion shares.

Agile as the Innovator
Thought bytes
Don't think research is a phase, it is really ongoing. Prototyping is the way you learn. You learn so much by watching how people learn. It's OK if the prototype is really rough.
Rapid prototyping your guesses* is an iterative process. You learn just enough to feed into building a better prototype. Then you go out and learn more, build again.
Launching is validating how much more solving is needed. If not solving the problem, re-calibrate.
Service design seems similar to product design – but it is harder to prototype an "experience."
Product design creates an experience. ID the real issues.
Key is have a clear objective of what you are trying to find out.
Think about the smallest thing you need to do to get the most learning – throughout the entire life-cycle.
Storyboards! Stories describe a type of interaction.
Always design for people.
* My note: a simple word for hypothesis?

Friday, July 08, 2011 - Tomas Spilka
Tomas Spilka
Tomas Spilka is aged 24 and lives in Michalovce. He is a student who enjoys Swimming, Boxing and Ice Hockey. Tomas is a great looking guy. He has a most handsome face and a very good body, clearly he spends a lot of time in the gym. In this stills shoot he shows ...

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
David Kadera meets up with Danek Carka for a very good scene. Danek, our happy-go-lucky singer is at work in the boiler room when David arrives to service the boiler. David soon discovers how hot it is and asks for some water. Still rather hot he takes of his shirt, and receives compliments on his body from Danek. The two come together and start touching each other, and it isn't long before David has Danek's dick in his mouth. He sucks on Danek's cock and gets it nice and stiff. I must say David is certainly a great sucker, he turns Danek around and laps at, and kisses, his ass for a while. Danek then want to return the favor and finds that David is already rock hard, so he sucks on his meat. Then he bends David over and starts to rim his wonderful, muscular ass. Danek though is thinking of more than rimming and is soon fingering the hole as well, before standing up and sliding his dick deep into David's ass. He fucks him in that position for a while, getting the hole open very nicely. Then David sits on Danek's dick and bounces up and down on it, showing how much he loves to feel a big stiff one in his ass. Danek does some hard fucking too, in this position before changing to a spoon position to fuck him some more. For the finale Danek kneels over David and works on his cumshot, while Davide squirts over his abdomen and then Danek shoots over David's face. David loves that and takes Danek's dick in his mouth and does some fairly hard sucking to drag the last of the cum out of his dick. The guys gave us a really good scene which, I think, will encourage repeated viewings.
Latest Updates Trailer
William Higgins Atelier Backstage Vlog
You can also watch my Vlog for this Newsletter by clicking the video above or over at the Blog:
We're having some great weather in Prague this week, as folks take off on vacations. Pavel Nikos has gone to Greece again. That means poor Aida will be stuck here with me for the next two weekends.
Today, using the new Final Cut Pro X, I edited the second sneak peek of our July Wank Party. I spent two days watching video tutorials. It must be said, I had a much more difficult time with this one than I did the first one, where I just watched a couple of YouTube tutorials. Well, that's what you get for attempting to follow all of the 'professional rules.' But the WP is great. Hope you enjoy the trailer.
We have a very nice looking Preview tonight. It was shot in a very hot attic, with two nice looking models David Kadera and Danek Carka. Gosh, I know this will be controversial. But I like David new long hair. He's such a nice guy. And, no apologies, I like long hair, as long as it isn't a mullet, or a mullet, topped by a rooster.
Wa have a great looking session stills shoot with Tomas Spilka.
Tomas Spilka is aged 24 and lives in Michalovce. He is a student who enjoys Swimming, Boxing and Ice Hockey. Tomas is a great looking guy. He has a most handsome face and a very good body, clearly he spends a lot of time in the gym. In this stills shoot he shows himself off very well indeed, with some lovely poses and, with his very endearing smile as he does so, I think he is a real winner. I will look foward to seeing his erotic video shoot soon.
Albert Masak is a great looking guy. I told Boris, 'whatever you do, be sure to get the shoot done before he takes off the blue plaster.' Boris got it.
Albert Masak is from Prague and is aged 22. He works as a technician and likes football and spending time with friends. What a good looking guy Albert is. He had a plaster cast on his arm when he came into casting, and we signed him up very quickly for this shoot, so he still had the cast when he came back in. Dressed in a Czech Hockey shirt and jeans Albert starts off the shoot by rubbing his hands over his body and then removing the shirt, to reveal a very good chest. His hand dips into his shorts and plays with his dick before dropping his jeans and revealing his tackle. Albert has a lovely big endowment, which looks splendid as it hardens, so we see that it stands up very well,a nd tapers slightly from the base to tip. A nice thick one. Having shown us a wonderful erection Albert then sets about giving us a fabulous view of his ass, which has a nice hairy crack. He really knows who to spread that ass to give us the best view. He then turns around and lays back on the couch, pulling his legs up, so we can see the hole even better, and that monster dick at the same time. Finally, having displayed all his wares to perfection Albert lets go with a lovely creamy load.
Dalibor Janek and Michal Adamus are two delightful young men who came in for a Broke Czech Guys shoot. We interviewed them at the start and established that they are both 18 years old. With me asking the questions, translated back and forth by Pavel Nikos the interview was very illuminating. Dalibor was asked about the first time he had sex, and his reply was that he had never had sex before. So this encounter was his very first EVER,, and I was now very keen to see how far he would go. Michal had sex for the first time when he was 17, he was at a camp and was drunk, and did it for the first time, with a girl. We started the action by asking the guys to get naked. Michal was first, and we get our first glimpse of a very nice package, and a lovely ass too, as Dalibor turns him around. Then Michal gets Dalibor naked and the guys, standing together, start to kiss. At first just little kisses, but with some prompting they do real proper kissing. Then I asked them to grab each other's dicks, which they did. I noticed that Dalibor's dick started to grow immediately. The guys then went onto the bed and started to wank each other. Dalibor was soon quite hard and what a lovely sight it was. So I asked Michal to suck Dalibor's dick for a while. Michal duly obliged, and when we asked Dalibor how it felt he said 'good'. That was apparent, as his dick stayed very hard all the while it was being sucked. Then we asked the guys to switch, and Dalibor started sucking Michal, whose dick didn't respond too well, but after a piss it rose very well indeed, at the urging of Dalibor's mouth. Then the guys went into a 69. Next the guys went onto their knees, to show us their asses. Michal was then encouraged to inspect Dalibor's asshole, while wanking him. He also slipped a finger into Dalibor's ass as he wanked. Next it is Dalibor's turn to inspect Michal's ass, and as he does so he wanks him, and also is persuaded to rim the ass a little bit, before fingering it. Then he got underneath and sucked on Michal's rock hard dick some more. Everything was going really well, the guys had really been very good indeed, so I wanted to push just a little further and so we told Dalibor to fuck Michal. So for the final barrier is broken too as Dalibor slides his dick into Michal's ass, and fucks him, in three different positions before both guys deliver very good pop shots. In an interview at the end Dalibor tells us that the best bit was the cumshot, and when asked if he liked the sex, the answer was a one word no. But I think he did very well indeed, as did Michal who, for his first time with a guy, and first time taking it up the bumper chute, was a great sport as well.
Be sure to check out the Castings tonight. My pick is: Dominik. Love the face and, oh yes, the dick.

Steven Rainwater, Advogato's maintainer, posted an article there, Happy 10th Birthday, Advogato, which provoked me to think a bit about where the site is going. I've put together a timeline, consisting of a link from each of the ten years that gives an idea of what Advogato was like that year.
- 2008 — GNU and FSF News for January 2008
- 2007 — Advogato and Hateful/Divisive Posts
- 2006 — Articles 871-900 — Thirty consecutive articles, up to Raph Levien's decision to abandon, and Steven's decision to rescue, the site.
- 2005 — Article:advogato.org and advogato.com renewed.
- 2004 — A diary post by Graydon Hoare, which shows how the action back then had moved to recentlog.
- 2003 — Article: Is the active user-base of Advogato incompetent?; note moshez' response, on the advantages of managing where your content is posted.
- 2002 — Articles Mixins for PHP and Thoughts on voting machine fraud
- 2001 — Article The Rules of Open-Source Programming, to which Raph replied with Some more "rules".
- 2000 — Alan Cox wrote two articles about patent law and practice, both widely cited: one, two.
- 1999 — This year's anniversary article, Happy 10th Birthday, Advogato, gives a feel for the first days; my post there has some links from that time.
Advogato is one of the older social networking sites, for free software developers, from before the days when that term was used, and it's maybe the one with the most unappreciated lessons, in both senses. I greatly admire what Raph Levien has done with the site, and am very happy to have been involved with it during most of its history.

What sort of ice is usually formed during cold like we have now. Is the ice still forming at all? Does the water continue flowing when it's this cold or do "the pipes freeze"? Is there an ideal condition for building ice i.e. 27 degrees, cloudy, light wind, and fifty inches of snowpack?
In Ne, the system is a little different. The snow melt at the top of the hill and the water run under the soil to the cliff. So, the water is dripping more than flowing like in a river. This made very nice ice sicle with different shape.
The cold kind....
Water ice.

Kathryn32 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 108 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Harlequin Fun Casino Hire
Harlequin is a company offering Fun Casino Hire for all occasions. Our customers hire our Roulette, Blackjack and Poker tables along with professional croupiers for their party, product launch, wedding reception, corporate dinners and team building events.
Most importantly, we want to create a brand image that tells the customer we are professional, sophisticated, and reliable. This means we want to avoid looking cheap or tacky at all costs. No half-naked women holding poker chips or flashing neon lights. Think elegance, style and sophistication.
Casino/Poker sites have a tendency to be very dark and dreary. Lots of black and red. We are all for rich dark colours, but we'd like something a bit brighter if possible. Something that's beautiful to look at as well as easy to use.
Men and women above the age of 18. We hope to attract corporate clients as well as domestic. We would like our website to appeal to anyone who is looking for a professional service. It must be easy to use, easy to read and easy to make a no obligation enquiry. It must be modern and stylish.
We are looking for a designer who can provide a creative website for us which stands out from the crowd of Fun Casino Hire sites. (There are a few decent sites out there but on the whole, most are the complete opposite to what we are aiming for. Just Google "Fun Casino Hire" to get an example! We want to avoid looking cheap and tacky.)
We want a website that is highly professional looking, a little more sophisticated, modern, sleek and elegant. A look that says "This website was well designed, not templated"
Must have a banner at the top with the logo and our tabs. The tabs for other pages are:
1. Home
2. Fun Casino Hire
3. Wedding Casino Hire
4. Christmas Party Casino Hire
6. News
7. Themed Events
8. Contact Us
9. Sitemap
Must have an enquiry form on every page with the following fields:
*Location of Event
*Type of Event
*Date of Event
*Number of Guests
*Additional Information.
Must have two icons that link to our Twitter and Facebook pages.
Must use our logo. (please find attached)
I would like to see some illustration in the design perhaps. Something sophisticated and retro, some original artwork for Harlequin. This idea might not work in reality, but if you want to use it, please do.
I'd like to incorporate LAS VEGAS somehow into the site. Perhaps a silhouette of the skyline?? I am open to your ideas here.
Here are some examples of the style I am imagining:
When it comes to images on the site, I'd really like to see something personalised with the Harlequin logo. For example, a Harlequin deck of cards, a Harlequin poker chip, Harlequin Baize etc. Use your imagination here.
When using images, please avoid anything that looks like an obvious stock image. Pictures of cards, chips and roulette wheels are ok, but please use them creatively. Maybe find a way to make it look like a private image, taken exclusively for Harlequin?
Here is a list of websites I really like for different reasons. They look professional and expensive. Please don't copy them, but use them for inspiration,
No coding needed. (Unless you are a fabulous coder with a good knowledge of SEO, in which case, message us and we will talk about it.)
We'd like you to be creative on this one. We have seen some incredible sites produced on 99 designs. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
the stock images attached are by no means a requirement. I just uploaded them in case you wanted to use them. Please use your own if you have better ideas.
Thanks for taking the time to read the brief, and good luck to you all!

Harlequins 22-19 Worcester Warriors, Aviva Premiership
Evans boots Quins to victory over Warriors
November 30, 2012
Quins' Matt Hopper touches down for a try during his side's victory over Worcester at The Stoop

Harlequins cemented their place at the top of the Aviva Premiership with a 22-19 victory over Worcester Warriors at The Stoop on Friday night.
Nick Evans struck the match-winning drop goal seven minutes from time to cap a 17-point haul that proved the difference between two well-matched sides. He set up Quins' only try for centre Matt Hopper, converted it and also landed four penalties and the crucial drop-kick.
Winger David Lemi's second-minute try put the Warriors ahead and a second from replacement Errie Claassens put them level at 19-19 after they had two players sin-binned. Fly-half Andy Goode's three penalties provided their other nine points as they claimed a deserved losing bonus point.
Leading try scorer Lemi marked his return from international duty with Samoa by striking first. Quins landed themselves in trouble by losing possession as they tried to run their way out of defence and Evans was tackled behind his own line as he cleared up the mess.
Maintaining the pressure from the resulting five-metre scrum the Warriors worked the ball from left to right and back again to send Lemi over in the corner. Goode's conversion rebounded from the post but, five minutes later, he made amends with a 40-metre penalty.
Harlequins began to take the game to the visitors and Williams raced on to a superbly-weighted grubber kick from Evans before being halted by the Worcester cover defence. Then scrum-half Karl Dickson was held up over the line after jinking through but referee Luke Pearce, who had played the advantage, brought play back for a penalty kicked by Evans.
Within two minutes, it was cancelled out by Goode's second. Worcester were reduced to 14 men in the 24th minute when Lemi was yellow-carded for killing the ball in front of his own line.
Quins went for touch rather than goal with the penalty but, when they were awarded a second in quick succession - from an easier angle - Evans put it over via the post. Goode restored Worcester's eight-point lead with his third penalty and they continued to keep Quins out, stopping both Jordan Turner-Hall and Seb Stegmann just short of the line.
Scotland prop Euan Murray - signed from Newcastle following a spell on loan with French club Agen - made his Warriors debut when he replaced injured former Quins front row man John Andress in the 35th minute. Murray's first scrum was forced into retreat by the home pack before Evans capitalised expertly by choosing the correct split second to find Hopper on an unstoppable straight run-in for his side's first try.
Evans converted and then kicked Harlequins into the lead for the first time with a penalty on the stroke of half-time after No 8 Semisi Taulava became the second Worcester player to be sin-binned as his side defended desperately.
Despite being a man down for the second time, Worcester had the better of the exchanges until Taulava returned 10 minutes into the second half. But Quins survived the spell of pressure before Evans extended their lead to five points with his fourth penalty.
Worcester drew level with 12 minutes left when centre Alex Grove made the break to send Classens, who had replaced scrum-half Paul Hodgson only four minutes earlier, racing over in the left corner. Goode was narrowly wide with the difficult conversion. But Evans had the final say, with his 73rd-minute drop goal as Quins played the advantage after Worcester, who had shipped a huge amount of penalties, offended at the breakdown.
Harlequins boss Conor O'Shea was unimpressed despite the result. "It's a win - that's all you can say. We're pretty disappointed," he said. "There was just no flow, no momentum, no nothing in the game.
He added: "It's a good lesson. We've won it and the guys dug themselves out but there's a lot of frustration in the way that game flowed. Twenty penalties is a heck of a lot. It wasn't a good game of rugby, not enjoyable but we'll take the four points."

I think he's a liked character, no doubt, but I wouldn't liken him to Fett in the slightest in terms of popularity... Closer to Maul, though even Maul had a lot more hype around him by comparison.

D. Russell Humphreys, Ph.D.
Creationist physicist
Dr Humphreys was born on 2 February 1942 in Wyandotte, Michigan, U.S.A., and was raised in a scientifically aware but non–Christian household. Not surprisingly, Russell himself always had a love for science, and in 1959, he was one of the 40 winners of the Westinghouse National Science Talent Search.
He received a B.S. degree in physics at Duke University, 1959–1963. After this, he moved to Louisiana State University (LSU) to study postgraduate physics. In 1969, while doing his dissertation research for LSU in the mountains of Colorado, he committed his life to Christ. In 1972, he was awarded a Ph.D. in physics, on cosmic rays and ultrahigh energy nucleon–nucleon interactions, by which time he was a fully convinced creationist due to both the biblical and scientific evidence. For the next 6 years he worked in the High Voltage Laboratory of General Electric Company, designing and inventing equipment and researching high–voltage phenomena. While there, he received a U.S. patent and one of Industrial Research Magazine's IR–100 awards.
Dr Humphreys has been married since 1963, and they have three children.
Beginning in 1979 he worked for Sandia National Laboratories (New Mexico) in nuclear physics, geophysics, pulsed-power research, and theoretical atomic and nuclear physics. In 1985, he began working with Sandia's 'Particle Beam Fusion Project', and was co-inventor of special laser-triggered 'Rimfire' high-voltage switches, now coming into wider use.
The last decade at Sandia saw greater emphasis on theoretical nuclear physics and radiation hydrodynamics in an effort to help produce the world's first lab–scale thermonuclear fusion. Besides gaining two other U.S. patents, Dr Humphreys has been given two awards from Sandia, including an Award for Excellence for contributions to light ion–fusion target theory.
Overall, Dr Humphreys' reseach has been very wide-ranging:
- Designed and theoretically analyzed thermonuclear fusion targets using radiation hydrodynamic codes.
- Designed key high-voltage parts of Sandia's 100-Terawatt Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II and conducted fusion power experiments on it. Same designs are in use today on Sandia's Z machine.
- Research on low-temperature solids and studies on superconductors.
- Nuclear weapons projects, including stockpile engineering for W87 firing set.
- Helped design new inkjet printer component and shared patent on it.
- Developed high repetition-rate neutron tube driver and gamma-ray spectrometer for borehole logging applications. Patent on high-voltage power supply for it.
- Patents on wide-bandwidth electric field sensor and high-voltage neutron tube supply. Designed lightning current waveform recorder which won IR-100 Award.
- Studied electric fields and ion currents under ultrahigh voltage DC transmission lines.
- Theoretical studies of relativistic velocity dependence of nuclear forces.
Creationist work full-time
Dr Humphreys retired from Sandia in 2001 to work full-time for the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) where he was appointed an Associate Professor of Physics. In this time, he operated mainly from his home office in Albuquerque, NM, USA, while still continuing to write for Journal of Creation (formerly TJ) and assisting several other creationist organisations with questions and information concerning physics, astronomy and cosmology.
In August 2008 he resigned from ICR and now works as an independent researcher.
Dr Humphreys has been a longtime member of the Creation Research Society and is on its Board of Directors.

Creationist publications
Dr Humphreys is the author of Starlight and Time, in which he proposes a model that the universe may only be thousands of years old even though light from distant stars appears to have taken billions of years to reach Earth (available also as a DVD). He is also author of Evidence for a Young World (available as a booklet). Dr Humphreys has written many articles and papers on creation issues:

Final Announcement – Call for Abstracts
MESSENGER spacecraft.
Image: NASA
We are pleased to announce the second in a series of meetings convened by the MESSENGER and BepiColombo science teams. The purpose of this workshop is to prepare for MESSENGER orbital operations and to plan for the BepiColombo mission. The workshop is motivated by observations of Mercury's magnetosphere and exosphere obtained during MESSENGER's three Mercury flybys, which occurred in 2008 and 2009.
Before the MESSENGER flybys, ground-based observations of volatile species (Na and K) led to a picture in which thermal and solar radiation processes acted on the sunlit surface to continuously release material to the exosphere. Solar wind sputtering, modulated by the planet's magnetic field, provided spatial and temporal variability. Observations of high-energy Ca could be explained by a two-step process in which CaO was released from the surface with relatively low energy and subsequently ionized. New space-based observations obtained during the MESSENGER flybys argue that this picture is incomplete and that the processes that generate and maintain the exosphere are more complex. Na and two refractory elements, Ca and Mg, all exhibit different spatial distributions over the poles and in the tail region that cannot be fit into the traditional model. These measurements as well as MESSENGER's remote-sensing detection of Ca+ concentrated in the near-planet tail region point to an exosphere that is both more varied and perhaps more intertwined with the magnetospheric environment than previously thought.
BEPICOLOMBO spacecraft.

Earlier Mariner 10 observations indicating the presence of a primarily dipolar planetary magnetic field oriented largely along Mercury's spin axis, but 1000 times weaker that that of the Earth, have been confirmed by MESSENGER. However, Mercury's magnetosphere has been found to be far more dynamic than that of the Earth, with the effect of reconnection between the interplanetary magnetic field and the planetary magnetic field proceeding at a rate about 10 times that observed at the terrestrial magnetopause. Initial examination of the MESSENGER flyby measurements indicates that this very strong interaction with the interplanetary magnetic field may greatly increase the flux of solar wind plasma to the surface, for example, by creating large magnetic fields normal to the magnetopause, giant flux transfer events, and the expansion of the high-latitude magnetospheric cusps. Furthermore, the discovery of an intense dayside boundary layer and nightside magnetic field depressions, both presumably due to hot solar wind or planetary ions, suggest the presence of strong plasma transport and heating processes. However, the lack of energetic particle events, even when the magnetic field shows that substorms are present (i.e., the third MESSENGER flyby), may require a re-examination of the candidate charged particle acceleration processes and the earlier Mariner 10 events.

10 Music Videos We Love By Hip-Hop DJs
The role of the DJ in music has changed drastically. Once looked at simply to hype up concerts and keep shows rocking, now DJs are something like a music ambassador. These days, tons of amazing records are created because of the DJ. You've got folks like DJ Khaled and DJ Drama rounding up hip-hop and R&B greats, and years ago veteran DJs like Clue and Kay Slay were dropping visuals for tracks from their own studio albums. Take a look at some of the videos featuring DJs that helped boost their status on the music totem pole.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - They came sculpted, waxed, sprayed, curled, spiked - or just plain bushy.
Beards and mustaches molded to fit categories such as Amish, Dali, Imperial and freestyle were celebrated at the 2013 Just for Men National Beard and Moustache Championships this weekend in New Orleans.
The festivities included a parade down Bourbon Street, where a New Orleans brass band led some of the hirsute competitors waving flags representing their native states.
New Orleans resident Pierre Dupleix sported a bright green leprechaun suit to accompany his reddish beard and mustache, which he wore in tight curls.
"I mean, I was always the freak whenever I go out, so it's been great to be among my bearded brethren," he said with a laugh.
Many also sported long, natural, bushy beards.
In all, more than 150 contestants from the U.S., U.K. and Canada competed in 17 categories during competition Saturday at the House of Blues in the French Quarter.
Each category had a gold, silver and bronze winner.
This was the 4th annual national competition organized by Beard Team USA. This was the first year the event was held in New Orleans, which proved to be a challenge for some. The heat and humidity meant it took more time and energy to mold facial hair creations.
"A lot of hair spray and a lot of time," said Chris "Xtopher Grey" Kriskovic of Madison, Wis., who says it took two hours to create his beard of seven long pointy-ended spikes. His mustache was divided into two pointy spikes as well.
But the effort was worth it, he said. Kriskovic took the gold medal in the freestyle full beard category.
Devon Holcombe of Jacksonville, Fla., took the gold in the natural mustache category. Natural categories mean contestants are not allowed to use hair-styling products. Holcombe's mustache, which stretches 24 inches end to end, had to be pinned with small metal barrettes during the parade so that his curls would be nice and tight for the competition.
"I've gone to a few of these, and this is the first time I've won," he said, smiling as he held his medal.
Sean Mabry of Louisville, Ky., said he didn't venture far from the way he normally styles his mustache for the competition. He said he favors the "handlebar" look and decided to compete in the Imperial mustache category, which requires some time, and wax, to sculpt the long, symmetrical curls popular in the early 1900s.
"You don't wake up like this," he said. "You just keep putting wax in and just, little by little, kind of work it up."
Keith Haubrich sculpted his mustache into the two arms of a clock, with the arms stretching to roughly the 10 and 2 positions. He had painted the clock numbers in a circle around his face and took the top honor in the Dali category, which is named for Salvador Dali, the Spanish painter known for his mustache of long tips arching upward.
Though Jeff Langum of Philadephia took the gold for his full natural beard, he said the competition was secondary.
"It's catching up with old friends from all over the country, all over the world, meeting up at these events, seeing each other and hanging out," he said. "That's what it's really about."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A Syrian journalist interviewed on Palestinian Authority TV last month claimed that years ago he had been privy to a CIA memo that informed former US President Bill Clinton that Israel would not exist beyond the year 2022.
"What I'm going to say, no one has ever heard. A report was submitted by the American Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA, to former US President Clinton. It was written on the report: 'Eyes only.' 'Eyes only' means for the President's eyes only. No one else is allowed to see it," said the man identified as Al-Bujayrami (pictured left). "The CIA says [in the report]: 'If things continue as they are, we don't think that Israel will continue to exist after the year 2022.'"
Presumably the "if things continue as they are" referred to the stalemate and regular collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Nor did Al-Bujayrami explain how he had knowledge of an alleged CIA report that was classified above top secret.
As the veracity of Al-Bujayrami's claims is very much in question, perhaps most telling was the reaction of the television host, who, again, was representing an official media outlet of the same Palestinian Authority that is ostensibly Israel's peace partner.
Upon hearing Al-Bujayrami's tale of how even America believes Israel will be destroyed, the host exclaimed, "By Allah, from your mouth to Allah!"

BRISTOL, Tenn. – In a key Conference Carolinas series, the King University softball team swept Coker College on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Bristol. Hannah Light tossed a four-hit shutout in King's 5-0 game-one victory, and Tornado came from behind to take game two 7-2 to stay near the top of the conference standings.
In the second inning of game one, Christina Melcher laced a two-out single up the middle to score Macy Shupe, who singled earlier in the inning. Amber Walker tried to score on the play, but was thrown out at home, and the Tornado led 1-0 after two.
The Tornado tacked on one more in the third, before erupting for three runs in the fifth inning. With two outs, and two runners on, Walker ripped a single to center field that scored pinch runner Octavia Lewis-Rand before Mackenzie Draine came up with a big hit. The senior crushed a double to left center that scored two and opened up the King lead to 5-0.
That was all the offense Light need as she got strikeout to cap the 5-0 win. Light only allowed four hits while striking out eight against just one walk. Melcher and Draine paced the Tornado offense with two hits apiece while Draine drove in two. Shupe accounted for two runs scored while going 1-for-2 with one walk.
In game two, the Cobras (22-14, 11-7 CC) jumped ahead early. Sarah Roundtree led off the game with a single, and after an out, Coker had runners on the corners following a single by Sydney Weatherford. Light got a strikeout and it appeared as though she would get out of the inning unscathed. However, Weatherford stole second and Ashley Gallman ripped single down the right field line to score both runners and put Coker ahead 2-0.
The Tornado (22-24, 11-3 CC) got on the board in the second inning when Tori McComas laced her fourth home run of the season, down the left field line. Thomas evened the score in the bottom of the third inning when she drove in Melcher with an infield single. Later in the inning, King had the bases loaded, and Shupe dropped a bunt down the first base line. The Cobras tried to get the runner at the plate, but Thomas beat the throw to give King the 3-2 lead.
King added a run on Thomas RBI single in the fourth before breaking the game open in the sixth inning. Melcher started the inning with a single, and Cassie Ringstaff followed with a double to left field. Smith drove in Melcher and Ringstaff with single up the middle to extend the lead to 6-2. Walker added an insurance run with a single to score Smith later in the inning.
Light calmed down after the first inning, only allowing five hits over the final six innings to earn her 16th win of the season. McComas led the Tornado offense, going 3-for-4 while the top four batters in King's lineup accounted four two hits apiece. Thomas and Smith drove in two runs apiece while Melcher and Ringstaff each scored two runs.
King will be in action again on Wednesday when the face Virginia Intermont College at the Stateline Classic. First pitch from Whitetop Creek Park is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Sierra Wireless Sells AirCard© Business to NETGEAR
|Monday, 28 January 2013
Sierra Wireless Enters into Agreement to Sell Assets of AirCard® Business to NETGEAR
Expected net cash proceeds of approximately $100 million USD
VANCOUVER, British Columbia-- (All amounts included are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.) Sierra Wireless, Inc. (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW) today announced it has executed a definitive agreement for the sale of substantially all of the assets and operations related to its AirCard® business to NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR) for $138 million in cash plus approximately $6.5 million in assumed liabilities as of December 31, 2012. NETGEAR is a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses, and service providers. Sierra Wireless expects to realize net cash proceeds of approximately $100 million from the asset sale, after related taxes, expenses, and funds held in escrow. The transaction is expected to close in March 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
Under the transaction, NETGEAR will acquire the assets and operations of the AirCard business, including customer relationships, products, intellectual property, inventory, and fixed assets, and assume certain liabilities, including warranty commitments and other customer obligations. Approximately 160 employees, primarily in sales, marketing, and R&D, will be transferred to NETGEAR, as well as certain facilities in Carlsbad, CA and Richmond, BC.
"This transaction is the next step in our transformation into a company focused on enabling the 'Internet of Things' – a strategy we have been pursuing with great success since 2007," said Jason Cohenour, President and CEO of Sierra Wireless. "We are the world leader in this dynamic market, with the industry's broadest product lineup, solutions across the value chain and an extensive, blue-chip customer base. In addition to realizing a solid return for the AirCard business, this transaction will provide significant financial resources and capacity to accelerate our growth in M2M and connected device solutions."
Mr. Cohenour added, "Our AirCard business has become the technology leader in the mobile broadband market, and has earned a global reputation for strong R&D execution and high quality products. The acquisition by NETGEAR offers this product line and superb team a natural home and excellent growth prospects, as the strategy, product line and channel alignment is very strong. Under the ownership of NETGEAR, our AirCard customers can expect continued high service levels and technology innovation."
Upon completion of the transaction, Sierra Wireless's retained business will include its AirPrime™ embedded modules for M2M and Mobile Computing, AirLink® intelligent gateways and routers, and AirVantage™ M2M cloud product lines. Going forward, Sierra Wireless will be an M2M and connected device pure play company, focused on providing innovative hardware, software, and cloud-based solutions that work together to enable customers across a broad range of markets to connect their machines to the "Internet of Things."
Use of funds
Sierra Wireless is also exploring alternatives to return a portion of the proceeds to shareholders and will seek approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") to undertake a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). The terms of the proposed NCIB will be subject to TSX review and approval, and Sierra Wireless expects to provide further details in the coming weeks.
Financial highlights for the fourth quarter and full year 2012
With respect to the retained business, preliminary fourth quarter and full year 2012 revenues were $109 and $397 million, respectively, including $14.0 million and $61.1 million, respectively, in revenue from the sale of AirPrime embedded wireless modules to Mobile Computing customers. Non-GAAP gross margin for the retained business was 33.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 31.6 percent for the full year. Non-GAAP earnings from operations for the retained business were modestly positive in the fourth quarter, showing a steady improvement throughout the year.
"Upon closing this transaction, we will be highly focused on driving profitable revenue growth in our M2M business," said David McLennan, Chief Financial Officer of Sierra Wireless. "As a stand-alone business, we will have a cost structure that supports considerably higher revenue levels, which will initially be reflected in modest operating margins. However, because we will be fully invested for growth, as we increase our revenues we expect to see greater operating leverage from the business."
Sierra Wireless will release fourth quarter and fiscal 2012 financial results after market close on February 6, 2013. Management will provide additional financial detail at that time.
BMO Capital Markets is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Sierra Wireless, and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP and Paul Hastings LLP are acting as legal counsel to Sierra Wireless.

INSANITY MAX:30™ Workout
The craziest 30 minutes of your day for the
Best Results of your life.†
Shaun T just raised the bar on Insanity® and for the first time put insane results within anyone's reach.
Watch the Insanity Max:30 workout video
Even WE thought it couldn't be done
Not until we saw the results for ourselves. Lean, shredded, insanely ripped bodies. You'd think they'd spent the last
60 days doing INSANITY, sweating through workouts
45 minutes or longer.
But our test groups got these results in just 30 minutes
a day. With INSANITY MAX:30.
How did we fit the hardest workout ever put on
DVD into
just 30 minutes?
How tough is MAX:30? It's a half hour of pure intensity, and frankly, your chances of making it all the way through—at least at first—are pretty much…zero. It's SO tough, Shaun T spent months just to find a way to get you through it.
That's when he came up with
the breakthrough he called
It's pure genius…
and it works like crazy
Every time you do a MAX:30 workout, you go as hard as you can for as long as you can. Then, when your lungs feel like sandpaper and your muscles are begging for mercy, that's when you take a break, write down the time you MAXED OUT, and get right back in to finish your workout.
How long can you go?
At first, you might only make it through 3 minutes (and believe me, even that will be an accomplishment). That means 3:00 is your MAX OUT time. Next time you do the workout, try to push that time just 30 seconds longer. If you can make 30 seconds of progress every day for 60 days, at the end of 60 days, you will make it all the way to MAX 30. And when that happens—trust me…you're going to feel—and look—like a freakin' fitness god.
Max:30 isn't just insanity
on fast-forward…
It's a whole new way to work out.
It's about using your body to get results. Just like the original INSANITY. No weights. No equipment, but the equipment in your mind and your body. Shaun T's

Since then he's put both degrees to epic use—appearing on HBO's Six Feet Under, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CNN, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America, and The Doctors—and working with Nike, Boost Athletic Shoes, RadioShack, and the LA Lakers.
In 2007, Shaun T created the phenomenally successful dance‑based workout, Hip Hop Abs®. A year later, he followed that with another big hit—Rockin' Body®—as well as two workouts for children—Shaun T's Fit Kids® Club and Get Real with Shaun T™.
In 2009, Shaun T and Beachbody® blew up the fitness world with the launch of INSANITY®, a 60‑day total‑body conditioning workout that's insanely hard—but gets incredible results.
Over the next few years, the INSANITY workout series continued to grow with the launch of INSANITY: THE ASYLUM®, the sports-specific training program based on drills used by pro athletes; and THE ASYLUM Volume 2—the next 30 days of jaw‑dropping, competition‑crushing workouts.
Then in 2013, Shaun T again revolutionized the fitness industry by creating FOCUS T25®, a jam‑packed workout program that makes every minute count, so you can get an hour's worth of results in just 25 minutes.
Now, with INSANITY MAX:30, Shaun T lays down a new challenge—to push yourself to a new personal best every time you work out. It's the craziest 30 minutes of your day, but he gives you all the tools you need to get the best results of your life.
