Former Savannah Christian standouts Chris Epperson and Wills Smith are tied for 10th Wednesday after the first round of the eGolf Tour's eighth-annual Southern Open. The tournament is being played at The Club at Irish Creek in Kannapolis, N.C., and the Country Club of Salisbury in Salisbury, N.C.
Epperson and Wills shot 5-under 66s — four shots behind the leader Drew Weaver of High Point, N.C.
FSU player Reid faces drug charge
VALDOSTA — Star Florida State punt returner Greg Reid has been charged with possession of marijuana and driving without a valid license.
A Georgia State patrol spokesman Gordy Wright said Reid was arrested Tuesday in south Georgia near his Valdosta hometown. Reid was also charged with a seat belt violation.
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher says he is aware of Reid's arrest but didn't have enough information to determine what discipline he may take against the senior cornerback.
Reid was suspended one game last season for a team rules violation and also arrested by Tallahassee authorities on perjury charges that were later dropped. Reid led the nation in punt return average as a freshman and needs 313 yards to break former Seminole Deion Sanders' school record of 1,429 yards on punt returns.
USADA gives Armstrong extension of 30 days
AUSTIN, Texas — The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Wednesday granted Lance Armstrong an extension of up to 30 days to contest drug charges while the seven-time Tour de France winner challenges the case in federal court.
The move erases the Saturday deadline for Armstrong to either send the case to arbitration or accept sanctions from USADA, which would likely include a lifetime ban from cycling and other sports along with stripping the Tour titles he won from 1999-2005.
Armstrong this week sued in U.S. District Court in Austin to block the case from moving forward, arguing that USADA's arbitration process violates his constitutional rights and that the agency doesn't have jurisdiction over the alleged doping violations.
Granted the extension, Armstrong attorney Tim Herman on Wednesday withdrew a request for a temporary restraining order while Judge Sam Sparks reviews the complaint and a request for an injunction.
USADA accused Armstrong in June of performance-enhancing drug use throughout much of his career. Armstrong insists he is innocent and says he never failed a drug test.
Warriors make deal for Hornets' Jack
OAKLAND, Calif. — The Golden State Warriors are getting more for Dorell Wright after all — pending some last-minute paperwork, of course.
The Warriors have agreed to send Wright to the Philadelphia 76ers in a three-team trade that will net guard Jarrett Jack from the New Orleans Hornets, two people familiar with the decision said Wednesday.
The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the trade is still being finalized, said the Hornets will receive the 76ers' draft rights to Edin Bavcic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a salary-slashing move that also clears space in a crowded backcourt. Bavcic, acquired by Philadelphia in a trade with Toronto in 2006, is expected to remain in Europe next season.
The original proposed trade had the Warriors receiving Bavcic for Wright. Instead, the Hornets hopped in the mix to acquire Bavcic and hand the Warriors the veteran guard they've wanted this offseason to play alongside Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
"Well new Orleans it's been real," Jack wrote on his Twitter page. He also thanked Hornets fans for their support.
The move will clear about $5.5 million in cap space for New Orleans, which is expected to match Phoenix's four-year, $58 million offer to restricted free agent Eric Gordon.

Playing in a state championship game might seem daunting to many high school athletes.
It pales in comparison to what Alvin Stokes, Maplewood's 18-year-old quarterback, already has faced — and overcome.
Both of Stokes' parents are in prison. When he was in the fourth grade, his father was incarcerated, and six years later, when he was a high school sophomore, his mother was sentenced.
Each is behind bars on drug related charges — his mother in Nashville, his father in Lexington, Ky.
"That was difficult, and I went through some hard times," the soft-spoken Stokes said. "But I have received so much encouragement from my teammates, the coaching staff, I can't thank them enough."
In return, he has helped lead the Panthers to the TSSAA Class 4A championship game. Maplewood (11-3) faces Greeneville (13-1), 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Cookeville.
He almost missed the season.
As a sophomore, Stokes moved in with his aunt, Crystal, who cared for him with the help of friends. Last June, in order to be with more of his family, he moved to Knoxville and lived with another aunt and his brother Bryan, a junior at Fulton High. He soon realized that he wouldn't graduate with his classmates, teammates and friends at Maplewood, and would not play his senior year of football there.
He moved back to Nashville in August.
"Part of my family is my team," he explained. "The coaches have all called to check on me, along with friends of the family, some of my schoolmates and school staff. They all helped me during this time."
"People don't have any idea of what Alvin's gone through," Maplewood coach Arcentae Broome said. "It is a testament to his courage and his strength to get through all of this while being a valuable member of our football team and a key to our success.
"We check on Alvin constantly, and if he is in need of something, we try to help him with it."
After graduation, Stokes hopes to play football in college — and beyond. He cites UT-Chattanooga, Arkansas State and Memphis as possible destinations.
"I definitely want to play in college," he said. "Long-range, I'd like to play in the NFL.
"Playing football has been so important, kind of an aside in all this. When I'm out there, especially as the quarterback, I'm in my own element, and it takes my mind off the other things."
He is aware, though, that a career in the NFL is not guaranteed. As possible alternatives he is open to "perhaps real estate, something in construction or an electrical company. We'll just see."
For now, his focus is on Greeneville, which eliminated Maplewood in the semifinals on its way to the 2010 state championship.
"Determination, focus and teamwork," Stokes said, when asked what it would take to win Saturday.
Those are three things he understands well.
"Alvin has gone through something no one should have to go through," Maplewood running backs coach Kodi Phillips said. "He is an amazing story of someone who has persevered through the most trying of circumstances. He has grown and matured greatly through all this and has come so amazingly far."

Sony Net plans to proceed with ISP launch
Digital music portal in the pipeline too
Sony's designs on the Net-connected home are coming closer to fruition - the company has said it will launch its own ISP in the US in a few months' time.
And the consumer electronics giant will soon launch a music download service called Sony Music Club.
Details of either service are vague. That both are on the cards was confirmed by the president of Sony US' e-commerce operation, Robert Ashcroft, in an interview with CNET.
Ashcroft admitted the ISP is in the works, but would say no more. The online music venture is a partnership with Listen.com and will offer music from artists signed to other labels, he said, but would give no further details.
Sony's Net plans centre on the provision of digital media to the home via broadband connections, primarily hooked up to the company's PlayStation 2 console, which will increasingly be marketed not only as a games machines but as the home's gateway to the Internet. Since the announcement of the PlayStation 2 over a year ago, Sony has been busily developing partnerships with networking and Internet companies in order to build a collection of Web-based e-commerce services.
Sony's gameplan calls for these services to be in place by March 2001.
And it's not just the PlayStation 2 that will be connected to the Net - Sony's recently announced PalmPowered Entertainment PDA can be hooked up to a cellphone and via that device to the Internet.
Meanwhile, it has also begun reorganising its own content companies - Sony Music Entertainment, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment - under an umbrella organisation called Sony Broadband. ®

Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright have a lot on their Super Bowl plates

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah breaks down his top 5 wide receiver prospects in the 2018 NFL Draft. Watch
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin has been an activate and vocal member of the Player's Coalition over the past year. Baldwin sat down with three women from his local community who are at the forefront of change in Washington state to listen and learn from their experience. Watch

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Bobby Wagner has been where the Seahawks' No. 1-ranked defense will be trying to get in Sunday's Super Bowl XLVIII matchup against the Denver Broncos' No. 1-ranked offense.
And that is not only in Peyton Manning's face, but into the chest of the Broncos' record-setting quarterback. It came in the second week of the preseason, when Wagner arrived at Manning just as he was releasing a pass, using his shoulder to drive the 37-year-old QB into the turf at CenturyLink Field.
Asked Thursday during the Seahawks' final media session before Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium what he remembered about that hit, Wagner smiled and said, "That it was a good one."
Wagner then added, "And that it can be done." Read
This is the second in a three-part series examining how the Seahawks' No. 1-ranked defense will matchup against the Broncos' No. 1-ranked offense in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Today, the linebackers. Read
Key stat
5: Sacks this season by middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, who also had two interceptions to go with a team-leading 119 tackles. Read
Key matchup
Seahawks LB K.J. Wright vs. Broncos TE Julius Thomas: How can the Seahawks hope to cover a 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end with wide receiver skills? The same way they controlled the 49ers' Vernon Davis (three times), Saints' Jimmy Graham (twice) and Falcons' Tony Gonzalez: With a heavy dose of a linebacker with cornerback length. And that would be the 6-4 Wright, who plays even taller because of his long arms and range. In three games against the Seahawks, the ridiculously athletic Davis caught seven passes for 57 yards and one touchdown, compared to 55 receptions for 888 yards and 14 touchdowns in his other 16 games. Graham led all NFL tight ends with 86 receptions for 1,215 yards and 16 TDs during the regular season, but in two games against the Seahawks – and one against Wright – he had four catches for 50 yards and one TD. Gonzalez has caught more passes than any tight end in NFL history, and had 83 receptions for 859 yards and eight TDs in his final season. But he had only three for 29 against the Seahawks. It wasn't all Wright, but the Seahawks had the Wright stuff more often than not. Wright missed the final three regular-season games and playoff opener after having surgery on a broken foot. But he's back, just in time to matchup against Thomas, who caught 65 passes and had 12 TD catches in the regular season and has 14 receptions in the Broncos' two playoff games. Read
That fact has been in question this week, because Manning has not been sacked in the Broncos' two postseason games, and was sacked just 18 times during the regular season despite throwing 659 passes. Coach Pete Carroll emphasized again on Thursday that the Seahawks must be able to at least move Manning if they hope to disrupt the timing of a passing game that featured the QB producing NFL single-season records for touchdown passes (55) and passing yards (5,477).
Typically, the middle linebacker wouldn't factor into the plans to do that. But then Wagner is not your typical middle linebacker. Rather than leave the field on passing downs, like most middle linebackers, Wagner rarely, if ever, leaves the field because of his rare combination of skills that not only have allowed him to lead the defense in tackles each of the past two seasons, but also produce seven sacks and five interceptions.
"They've done a better job of protecting him, so it's going to be much, much harder to hit him," Wagner said.
That's why the Seahawks' bevy of pass-rushers need the extra time that tighter coverage can provide. And that's where K.J. Wright also comes into play, as well as the Seahawks' Legion of Boom secondary. The 6-foot-4 Wright is the other linebacker who remains on the field in the nickel defense, where his length and range are assets in coverage.
"It's their speed that really sets them apart," defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said when asked about Wagner and Wright. "You can feel how fast these guys can close. I think what really sets them apart is their ability to read the quarterback and really break on the ball. Those are the things that jump out to me most about them."
With Wagner and Wright, it's not so much one for all and all for one, but two operating as one.
Wagner on Wright, who arrived as a fourth-round draft choice in 2011: "K.J. has just grown. The biggest thing I think he's gotten better at is his man coverage. I think he's one of the best man-coverage linebackers in the league. So he's grown in that aspect of his game."
Wright on Wagner, who was a second-round pick in 2012: "Bobby has really improved from his rookie year to this year, and I believe how hard he plays starts with how hard he prepares. We get up early every morning, get in at 6:15 and get our mental game right."
The Broncos feature a talented tight end in Julius Thomas, who had 12 touchdown catches among his 65 receptions during the regular season and is second on the team with 14 catches during the postseason. But the Seahawks have been holding productive tight ends well below their averages all season – from the San Francisco 49ers' Vernon Davis (three times), to the New Orleans Saints' Jimmy Graham (twice), to the Atlanta Falcons' Tony Gonzalez, to the Carolina Panthers' Greg Olsen.
Graham and Gonzalez ranked 1-2 in receptions among tight ends in the league this season, while Olsen was No. 6 and Davis was No. 7 in the NFC. But they had little or no impact on the games they played against the Seahawks, when their respective teams – three of them playoff teams – were a combined 1-6.
"We have to stay disciplined and stay true to who we are," Wright said. "We can't guess too much where he's going to throw the ball and whenever he does throw it, we have to close on it and tackle really well. We can't let them get yards after the catch."
But the challenge for Wagner and Wright goes well beyond what Manning might be doing while throwing the ball, because the Broncos like to run Knowshon Moreno on draws from the shotgun formation in addition to mixing him in with Thomas and wide-outs Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Welker in the passing game. Moreno rushed for 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns during the regular season and also added three more TDs while catching 60 passes.
"They certainly do have full plates," Quinn said. "'The Broncos are a committed running team for as explosive as they are offensively. When you look at the average number of rushes per game, they're a really balanced and committed team in that way."
While Manning was filling the Mile High air in Denver with passes, Moreno got the ball on 241 of the Broncos' 461 running plays and averaged 4.3 yards per carry during the regular season. In the postseason, the Broncos have been even more balanced, running the ball 62 times and passing it 79 times.
"The backend (secondary) and linebackers, we're all tied together," Wright said. "But our challenge as the linebackers, first of all we have to stop Moreno. We can't let him have big gains. Because if he starts running the ball, that's when the play-action (passing game) kicks in and Peyton will start throwing behind us.
"So we have to stop the running game first, and the tight end as well. Those will be our biggest challenges, so Bobby and I are going to be busy."
And if they can somehow get a hit on Manning in the process, or at least make him move off his comfort spot, all the better. Read

Did you have your waffles today? August 24th, 2010 is National Waffle Day! Here is some fun information about the day & waffles from MrBreakfast.com:
National Waffle Day (August 24) is the anniversary of the first U.S. patent for a waffle iron. Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York received his patent for a "device to bake waffles" in 1869. His early waffle iron was used in conjunction with coal stoves, consisted of a griddle and a cover and required flipping of the device to cook both sides of the waffle. At present, National Waffle Day is at best a "bizarre" or "unique" holiday" – the fluff stuff of radio DJ commentary. Waffle promotions at some restaurant chains have helped to keep the holiday alive, if only barely.
13th Century A.C. – Ancient Greeks cook flat cakes between two metal plates. These early waffles were called obleios and were primarily savory in nature, prepared with cheeses and herbs.
1620 – The pilgrims bring Dutch "wafles" to America.
1735 – The word "waffle" – with two "f"s – appears in English print for the first time.
Late 1800's – Thomas Jefferson returns to the U.S. from France with a long handled, patterned waffle iron.
1869 – Cornelius Swarthout patents the first U.S. Waffle Iron.
1953 – Frank Dorsa's Eggo Frozen Waffles are sold in Supermarkets for the first time.
1964-65 – Brussels restaurateur Maurice Vermersch brings his wife's Brussels Waffle recipe to the World's Fair in New York. The fluffy yeast-infused waffle becomes a huge hit and becomes known as the Belgium waffle.
I love waffles and had some Van's gluten-free blueberry waffles for breakfast. 🙂 I love to top them with almond butter, fruit spread & fresh fruit. In addition to Van's, there are several other frozen gluten-free waffles on the market:
Trader Joe's
Nature's Path
- Kinnikinnick
- Van's
If frozen waffles aren't your thing, there are many great mixes on the market as well:
Better Batter
Bob's Red Mill
Making your own from a mix or from scratch lets you customize ingredients. I personally like to add blueberries to my waffles, but chocolate chips, pumpkin and other berries work well, too.
Here is a picture of my morning waffles today.
And, I will leave you with a perfect fall waffle recipe from Karina – The Gluten-Free Goddess – Pumpkin Waffles.

The London Marathon, and then May Day. In the big city, it's certainly easier to be at happenings.
We decided to get to the great rally, because an email had given me the impression that it was going to be focused this year on a human rights campaign called #TruthForGiulio. Such were the numbers flowing toward Trafalgar Square that buses had to stop many blocks away and let their passengers walk. We encountered the march, which had started from Clerkenwell; followed it along the Strand. As you can see, it was colorful and the dominant color was red.
Yes, as you probably know, May Day is also International Workers' Day . Though there were contingents of Tibetans and Kurds
and others with lost rights to demand, most were trade unions or branches of the communist party. A leaflet they handed to me, pointing out that the current woes of Britain's proud health service are due to the return of the profit motive, was rather convincing in light of recent financial scandals.
We took a short cut to the Square and so were there early enough to be right at the front, so I'm afraid you don't see the crowd behind us, said to be record-breaking.
You can really see only marshals, possibly the speaker – and one of the two massive and impassive lions, on which I remember perching at some earlier gathering.
A very small part of the crowd was the Amnesty International contingent. I saw Shane Enright taking their photo, and he's let me use it.
Shane is Amnesty's Community Organiser (Unions and Workplaces) and Global Trade Union Adviser. And here is his photo of Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the Trade Union Council.
Which reminds me (forgive the digression) of Kipling's
The Colonel's Lady an' Judy O'Grady
Are sisters under their skins
which you could consider egalitarian- and feminist-leaning.
The fate of Giulio Regeni was not the general theme of the May Day rally, though it was mentioned by some of the speakers.
An Italian aged 28, Giulio had been in Britain for ten years and was a graduate student at Cambridge University. He went to Egypt for fieldwork for his doctoral research on independent trade unions, and on February 3 his half-naked body was found in a ditch on the outskirts of Cairo. He had been tortured to death with an incredible number of savage blows, cuts, and burns.
Authorities tried to blame it on a gang, but it turned out Giulio had been seen in police custody. Because of Italian investigators, a worldwide petition by academics, a vote of condemnation by the European Parliament, Amnesty's campaign, and pressure on the U.K. government to do more, Giulio's case sheds a spotlight on the many such disappearances of ordinary Egyptians each month. So much for the "Arab Spring" that removed dictator Hosni Mubarak. The miitary is back in repressive power, and it crushes dissent whether from the Islamist or the socialist direction.

Gautier Paulin Ends String of Podiums with Luckless Latvian GP
The Zelta Zirgs circuit in Kegums Latvia, hosted round 10 of the FIM MX World championship this weekend. Yamaha Monster Energy's, Gautier Paulin was looking to add to his 6 consecutive podiums in front of 21.000 spectators however the French youngster was clean out of luck on the tricky track and left Latvia more than disappointed.
Paulin set pole position in the pre-qualifying practice on Saturday and rode a solid qualification race to end 3rd putting him in a good starting position for Sunday's race. He grabbed a good start in race 1 but went down in the second turn and was run over by a gaggle of riders. Paulin remounted and gave chase to the pack, setting the fastest lap of the race and rocketing his YZ250F to 8th position at the end of the 35min + 2 lap race.
Bruised and scathed from his first race encounter, Paulin almost went down on the first lap of race 2 when his bike swapped and he hit the bars with his chest, knocking the wind out of him. It took him several laps to gain his breathe back when he knuckled down to salvage 10th.
"I am really disappointed with this result because I showed I was one of the fastest today but I guess it was not my day. I lost a lot of time when I crashed in the first moto and got stuck under another riders bike. I set the fastest lap of the race after that but that does not help the results. I'll take this week to recover and then I'll be back in Belgium to train and test in the sand before Lommel." explained Paulin.
The Belgian GP in Lommel will take place on the 30-31 July for round 11 of the 15 round series.

THE elite golfers will get a chance to gain ranking points when they participate in the Srixon Cleveland Fiji Amateur Championship stroke play at the Pacific Harbour Golf Club this weekend.
The tournament will be played over 54 holes making it a world ranking event.
Suva golfer and national squad member Olaf Allen Junior will defend the title.
Allen Jr has been in good form lately.
He won the six-week long Summer Cup competition at the Fiji Golf Club last week.
The Grid Security Services director said he would face stiff competition from the other national squad members.
Allen Jr said he had been practising regularly.
"My biggest threats will come from the Western golfers, especially those from Nadi," he said.
"The aim is to win and maintain my top status in the country. The bigger picture is the World Championship in Japan in September."
Allen Jr leads the national rankings with 50 points. Nadi's Abid Hussain is at second spot with 38.5 points.
Roneel Prakash is third with 20.5 points while Vijay Krishna Singh is fourth with 19 points.
Zoheer Ahmed and Anuresh Chandra are tied at fifth position with 14 points each.

I believe that he is meaning these type when he talks about "ring chains".
dmiller I have had sets of the chains like those in the picture. They are usually called double ring chains here. They do seem to bite better but they are weaker because the thickness of the rings is less. I have broken them on larger tractors. On your Farmall "A" they would not have that issue. .

MBA Admission in India: High Demand, Entrance Examination Challenging
India, right now, is a hub for MBA studies. MBA courses in India have attracted large number of students in the recent period. With an MBA degree received from any reputed institute, a student or any one who is already in a profession can win a life of excitement, challenges and accomplishment. MBA admission in India is not, however, easy. Students with talent are found to succeed and get a berth in the premier institutes of India.
Of course, there are several institutes and universities in different parts of India which offer MBA courses, and aspirants are desperate and crazy for MBA admission in India. MBA institutes or universities are ready to offer numbers of specialization programs from which the promising management professionals can choose according to their interest and capacity. One is allowed to select specialization in Marketing, Finance, Human Resources etc. Usually, MBA courses are of four semesters stretched over a span of two years. There is also one year course of Executive MBA for professionals. One year Executive MBA courses are sponsored by renowned companies. Some universities offer the aspirants to secure an MBA degree also through distant learning programs.
MBA admission in India is conducted through numbers of common entrance examinations which are known as CAT, MAT, XLRI etc. Students who have graduated from any recognized university or institute in any stream are eligible for these examinations. It is a fact that meritorious students do achieve their goal. Aspirants must be diligent and they must have tenacity and patience, because unquestionable dedication is necessary to get prepared for this kind of tests.
MBA admission in India is highly competitive, but the students willing to excel in MBA should note that the course is really expensive. Huge amount is expended in two years, because fees for its courses, charges for food plus lodging and cost for books and other things require good finance. It is extremely difficult for an aspirant to manage the finance, unless he or she wins a scholarship. On the other hand, scholarships are always limited. Of course, loans for higher studies can be secured, but the candidate must go through the terms and condition for the funding before he or she applies for the same.
India is a developing country in the world still now, but it has, by this time, registered great achievement in business. Students, passed out from the MBA educational centers of India, have earned name and fame through extra-ordinary performance in the top-ranking business companies. MBA institutes in India are ornamented by great faculties and the management of the institutes has tailored the MBA courses as per the demands of the modern world. MBA admission in India, for all these reasons, has become a buzzing word all over the world.

Today was a very important day for Heidis project. I decided to stay and help with the boat even though it was very cold and wet work. It was really interesting to see how the sediment traps are put together and deployed and I wanted to be able to show you. You saw a few days ago how the traps are pulled up, and what the sediment looks like in the narrow plastic tubes. We will keep last years tubes and Heidi will extract the water, dry them out and take them back to college with her to analyze. In order to set up new tubes to collect sediment for this coming year, we need to construct new traps. We can use the funnels and grates from last year, and cut new tubes.
Cleaning The Funnels
We cut the tubes, put a rubber stopper in the bottom and wrapped it with electrical tape to keep it secure.
Readying Tubes
Then we labeled the tubes with sharpie. There are 5 different moorings in different parts of the lake that we were going to set up. Each one has a letter name. We were working with mooring C, D, E, F and G. Each tube would be labeled with the mooring letter and a number.
Labeling the Tubes
C1 would be for the trap closets to the surface at mooring C, C2 would be lower on the rope at the same mooring, etc. Some of the moorings are in deeper water than others so those ropes would be longer and have more filter traps than the shallower ones.
Mooring C-G Laid Out
We had to be careful to get everything well organized before we went out on the water. We had to measure the depth each filter would go onto the mooring line. Then we would tease a plastic cable tie through the tightly twisted rope. Once on the water in the right spot, we would attach the filter tube and funnel to the cable ties.
Stringing Out the Mooring Lines
Once we were ready to go out with a few mooring lines, we loaded the big rock anchors onto the boom of the boat, coiled up the lines and arranged the traps in the boat.
Rock Anchors
Then we went to find the mooring markers on the lake. Once we found the floating marker buoys, we used the GPS to get us as close as possible to the exact spot that they have gone into every year. Remember that boats drift in the wind, and staying in one place is nearly impossible!
Finding Mooring F (Firklover is a kind of chocolate bar we like to eat!)
Using the winch on the boom, we slowly let down the anchor so that the spot for the filter trap (we knew where by the cable ties we placed) was just below the boom. Then the fun part started!
F3 (the lowest one at F) and Rock Anchor
Heidi had to lean way out over the side of the boat to attach the filter trap. I made sure that she didnt get too far out because the water is extremely cold and a spill into it would be very serious. Once that was attached, she also attached a temperature logger to the line so that next years group could see what temperature the water was at each collection site. We think that temperature has a lot to do with the water column and how the sediment moves through the lake.
Very Cold Work
Then it was onto F2 and then F1 to complete the traps. Then we set a buoy on top to hold the line taught in the water. This is really important so that the line doesnt flounder and droop in the water. We would not allow the buoy to bob above the surface, however. This is because the surface of the water will freeze solid.
Deploying the Buoy
To The Surface
And Just Below for the Winter!
We all had gotten really chilled working in the water all day. It took about 20 minutes of strenuous hiking to get us feeling OK again. I probably never mentioned what the first part of our hike is like once we leave the boats and start heading home. There is a hill that comes right out of the water at the boat launch that is very steep. It is the first 5-8 minutes of our hike. It is nearly a 45 degree slope and even steeper than that at the tip! I dont look up, and just keep putting one foot in front of another! I am always the last one up, but it has gotten a lot easier as I have gotten stronger. It gets us warm which is good after a boat ride, but it is really hard on our tired bodies. A hot dinner and some tea helps too when we got back to the station.

One reason is that my script to find errors doesn't trigger for that.Another is that this is not that critical. If the probe function is in.init.text you can get an oops. If remove is in .text it just occupiesRAM without being used (if HOTPLUG=n). And if remove is in .exit.textand is properly wrapped in __exit_p when assigning .remove everything isfine, too, you just cannot remove a device.Maybe I will address this in later series.Best regardsUwe-- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König |Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ |--To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Italian Rice Pie
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This is my late father's recipe for Italian Rice Pie. We would have it every Easter, since I was a child. I still love the flavor of citrus that comes through in the pie filling and crust. —Cynthia
Serves 6-8
Pie Crust
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 Zest of 1 Lemon
- 1 Zest of 1 Orange
- 2 cups Flour
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Baking Poweder
Pie Filling
- 1 Zest of 1 Lemon
- 1 Zest of 1 Orange
- 1/2 quart Heavy Cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/2 pound Arborio Rice
- 4 Eggs
- 12 ounces Ricotta Cheese
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon Vanilla
- For the Pie Crust. Mix ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer. Alternatively, to have the experience of the "old country" you could mix the ingredients by hand. To mix the ingredients by hand, it is like making pasta. Make a volcano with the flour and stick the wet ingredients inside and begin to mix. Continue to roll the mixture until it turns into a dough and knead until smooth. Roll it into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Put in the fridge for 1-2 hours to firm up. On a floured surface roll out the dough after letting it rest in the fridge. It will be very soft so be careful with it. The crust will expand when baked so roll it out to about an 1/8 of an inch thick (about the size of two quarters stacked on top of each other).
- Pie Filling. Boil the Arborio rice until just firm. Rinse with warm water and then let sit while preparing the wet ingredients. In a saucepan, boil heavy cream, zest of orange and lemon, salt, cinnamon, salt, butter. Let come to a boil for 10 minutes, then set to simmer.
- In separate bowl, mix in the following. 4 eggs 12oz ricotta cheese – room temperature 1 cup sugar ½ lbs arborio rice ½ tbsp vanilla Beat 4 eggs one at a time into 12 oz of ricotta cheese. Add 1 cups sugar one at a time. Combine egg mixture with rice and cream. Pour mixture into the pie crust and bake at 300 degrees for about 1 hour. If left over filling, put into ramekins and bake for 45 min, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean

We'd be happy to make our personal recommendations of what to see and do on your next Destin vacation.
We enjoyed the Condo and how convenient it was to the beach. There was plenty of room for 7 of us. We would be interested in renting again sometime.
Lovely condo just across from the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants. We'll definitely be back.
The condo was nice but needs updated, the beds are hard as rocks, there was trash on the floor from the previous people. A used paper plate in the bedroom, a old salt shaker still sitting on the night stand, and the bath would not drain in the hall bathroom.
It was very clean and was in a great location my family loved it!
The condo was nice perfect space for the whole family. It had everything we needed for cooking and for the beach.
Very nice cond, great location , enjoyed our stay🐬

Dec. 9, 2014 – Scientists at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH)
have identified a novel drug target that could lead to the development of
better antipsychotic medications.
Dr. Fang Liu, senior scientist in CAMH's Campbell Family
Mental Health Research Institute and professor in the Department of Psychiatry,
University of Toronto, and her team published their
results online in the journal Neuron.
Dr. Liu and colleagues showed that the D2 receptor could
combine with a protein called the Disrupted-In-Schizophrenia (DISC1) protein. Then,
they showed that levels of this combined protein were higher in post-mortem
brain tissues of deceased patients with schizophrenia, suggesting it was
associated with the illness. Delving even further, the researchers identified
the regions where the two proteins bound together.
With this information, they were able to generate a peptide
to disrupt the binding of the two proteins, speculating that it may reduce
symptoms. In animal models of schizophrenia, they were able to demonstrate that
this disruption led to antipsychotic effects, comparable to commonly used
antipsychotic medications, but without their side-effects.
"The most exciting aspect of our finding is not the
antipsychotic effect of this peptide, which all current antipsychotics have,
but rather the possibility of a lack of the side-effects in humans compared to
current medications", says Dr. Liu. "We hope that it will lead to a better
treatment for schizophrenia patients who experience side-effects from current
medications." These side-effects
discourage some patients from taking their medications, which impacts recovery.
Schizophrenia is a chronic, often severe and disabling mental illness that
affects one percent of the general population.
"Our future steps are to determine how this discovery can be
translated into a novel treatment for patients as soon as possible," says Dr.
Liu. "We are optimistic that our findings will lead to new and better options
for treatment for schizophrenia."
This study was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health
Research (CIHR).

Hot Rods clinch division with 9-4 victory over Lake County
Pitching falters late as Captains can't play spoiler for Bowling Green
Bowling Green, KY – The Bowling Green Hot Rods sealed their title as champions of the Midwest League Eastern Division as they defeated the Lake County Captains 9-4 on Sunday.
Right-hander Dylan Baker (7-6, 3.63) received his final start of the season for the Captains, and it was a fairly accurate reflection of his season as he tossed five innings and allowed just two runs.
After three scoreless innings on both sides, the Captains struck first. With one out, third baseman Joe Sever drew a walk and took second on a single by second baseman Zack MacPhee. With two out, right fielder Cody Ferrell also singled to score Sever and give the Captains the 1-0 lead.
Bowling Green crafted its rebuttal immediately as third baseman Taylor Goeddel led off with a single and stole second. Goeddel advanced to third on a fly-out to center before scoring on a sacrifice fly to level the score at 1-1.
The Captains pushed two more across the dish in the fifth inning as centerfielder LeVon Washington and shortstop Dorssys Paulino hit a pair of back-to-back singles. With two out, Sever singled to load the bases before designated hitter Richard Stock doubled to plate two for the 3-1 lead.
Once again, the Hot Rods responded right away as first baseman Ryan Dunn doubled and scored on a single by shortstop Brandon Martin.
Lake County's final run scored in the sixth inning as Ferrell drew a walk and left fielder Nick Hamilton singled. With two out, Paulino doubled to score Ferrell before Hamilton was thrown out at the plate attempting to score.
Meanwhile, Baker lasted through six innings before he was replaced with reliever Jimmy Stokes, sealing Baker's final outing having allowed two runs on six hits while striking out six. Stokes tossed two scoreless innings of relief before giving way to Captains newcomer Jordan Milbrath.
The Hot Rods weren't kind to Milbrath in his Midwest League debut as they scored four (three earned) runs. Milbrath issued a lead-off walk and out-single before an error by MacPhee allowed one run to score. That ended the outing for Milbrath, though his line was incomplete as reliever Jack Wagoner entered the game.
Wagoner issued a pair of consecutive walks to load the bases and walk a run home. His woes continued as he plunked a batter for another run, setting the stage for reliever Cody Penny.
In his attempt to pick up the pieces, Penny surrendered a sacrifice fly and single for two more runs, giving the Hot Rods the 9-4 lead.
That was all they needed as the Captains could not score in their share of the ninth, securing the Hot Rods with the title of Midwest League Eastern Division champions.
Matthew Spann received the win for the Hot Rods as Milbrath received the loss for the Captains. Next, the Captains complete their 2013 season Juan Santana (0-0, 0.00) will make his Captains debut against Bowling Green lefty Bruedlin Suero (1-0, 1.69).

Medium Cool: Music Videos from Soundies to Cellphones
Estes, Jack, Journal of American Culture (Malden, MA)
Medium Cool: Music Videos from Soundies to Cellphones Roger Beebe and Jason Middleton, Eds. Duke University Press, 2007.
Jason Middleton and Roger Beebe's anthology of articles related to the history, the art, the technology, and the business of music videos is both engaging and thought-provoking. The breadth of the articles they include reveals the complexity of the topic and the challenges they must have faced in narrowing down this material. The collection not only examines the beginnings of attempts to put images to music, but also focuses on the recent developments, not only in the U.S. but also overseas (including New Guinea, Canada, and Finland). It examines the theory involved with the medium as well as the practice.
Much of the work focuses on MTV, as one would expect from such a title, but certainly the collection does not look at MTV exclusively. The articles also cover the theoretical elements of style and form, sometimes relating these elements to other art forms of the twentieth century (especially visual arts such as painting and dramatic arts such as theater).
One of the most interesting sections of the book to me covered authenticity and cultural identification in music videos. When is a performer seen to be "selling out" by having his or her work put onto MTV, particularly a cuttingedge avant-garde performer, one who is known for his or her rebellious style and attitude? How valid is a performer who stands for outsider status when he or she becomes mainstream? What happens to that performer's audience? Does it still trust him or her? These questions and more are examined in this section, particularly in Warren Zanes' "Video and the Theater of Purity." (This took me to the Frontline program called "The Merchants of Cool," showing how MTV has coopted so many major performers who had previously identified themselves as anti-establishment. …

Norwegian wood has absoltely nothing to do with Norway - it is referring to the cheap wood used to make furiture (that plywood material is according to Paul called Norwedgian Wood to make it sound better). John angry that he is being used decides to burn down the shitty apartment (he never really did burn them down but he wanted too, he's taken a bit of artistic liberty).

Alright so if you watch any of The Beatles Anthology, John talks about this song in it... The working title for this song was "Knowing She Would." However, the title/song was to promiscuous for the censors at the time. Knowing Brian Epstein (The Beatles manager) would put up an fight and ultimately cost the band money or air-time, John simply changed the title to "Norwegian Wood," because it fit the syllables. The term "Norwegian Wood" comes from the bands knick-name for marijuana. The story, according to John, is that the four of them were in Buckingham Palace getting ready for a ceremony with the Queen, when they snuck into the bathroom to smoke some pot and came up with the phrase. Ever since then, the name "Norwegian Wood" has been the 'code word' for John(rip), Paul, George(rip) and Ringo. He added the last line so people might possibly pick up on the clever well placed hint. He was surprised when he noticed no one really ever did (until he told the world).

Yes this is about one of John's affairs all this about cheap wood is BS. The title of this song is simply a play on words to get the song published and played on the radio. The song's true lyrics are "knowing she would" Isn't it good knowing she would.
anonymous Feb 12th, 2015 2:03am report
John was working on a song, the working title being knowing she would when he played it to the band ringo misheard knowing she would as norwegian wood. John very much liked this and changed the song to norwegian wood.

Christ everyone. There are articles and interviews from John and Paul explaining the lyrics. The song's about John's affairs, and basically he goes to have a one night stand with a woman. The woman has a flat, decorated in Norwegian wood. After sex, she tells him to sleep in the bathroom, and out of revenge, he burns the place down. Done.

Wow guys really. It really is not some deep thing that guys put all this hidden meaning in. And this is the truly important part... Norweigan Wood DOES NOT mean smoking weed. Seriously. It is not some european thing or some Bob Dylan tripe. All the song is is a dark joke. She led him on and laughed about it, soooooo he set her flat on fire. Really thats all it is. Read Pauls biography, you great big know it all fans.
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

I love reading everyone hammering away on what this lyric means or that lyric.. The truth is that they mean what you want them to. If you had ever read ANYTHING about how Lennon and McCartney wrote song, they were written in a flash. They would get together and have a song a an hour! Do you REALLY think that they spent all this time hiding secret meanings in their songs!
anonymous Apr 18th, 2013 4:52pm report
I was just thinking about the lyrics, and I'm sure that this song was before Yoko, but the song mentions that there aren't any chairs in the room, and sitting on the floor, it sounds really Japanese.
anonymous Mar 8th, 2013 3:32pm report
In response to werewolf4797's question about why John Lennon would "sleep in the bath", perhaps John wanted to get out of the way of the prostitute's next customer. In other words, John has already established that there were no chairs in the apartment--only a bed. John didn't want to sleep in the bed with a prostitute and her "John", so he moved to the bathroom to sleep--perhaps in the bathtub itself.
anonymous Aug 14th, 2012 8:47am report
It is about smoking pot with a girl. Norwegian wood is a slang term for pot in Europe.
anonymous Jul 28th, 2012 7:37am report
The basic meaning behind this song is obvious..Lennon said himself that he wanted to write a song about his many affairs so he put it in one song..what is ridiculous is this fabrication that the words "Norwegian Wood" means "knew she would".Total BS. Lennon NEVER said that..and I am 48 and one of the biggest Beatle freaks ever..nice try, kids! Norwegian Wood is just two words used as IRONY (look up the word if you do not get it , kids!)Simple...the girl takes him to her place..she makes small talk saying "isn't my apt. nice..walls are made of Norwegian Wood.."..they have sex, she has to go to work-he does not-he is a freakin' rock star..no daytime hours!..so he "lights a fire"..a joint--Lennon was just turned on to weed by Bob Dylan months before..and he CONDENCENDENLY utters "isn't it good..Norwegian Wood". Yer Welcome, Kids! Anyone of yooze got an English degree and not a Computer Useless Engineering-I-Cant-Even-Interpret-The-Simplest-Of-Stories!!

come on people!! look at the country

England. john was using a hidden
sexual meaning. norwegian wood =

call me an optimist but your all filthy.
every theory has holes except this:
guy meets a girl, gets a bit obsessed, she likes him, go's to her place, they get a bit drunk, shes like DENIED, he's like fine ill go sleep in the bath, he wakes up, shes gone, he lights a fire IN THE HEARTH (he said he was cold), and waits for her. cause he likes her, and she likes him, and for gosh sakes they talked till two she was no whore, come on people stop reading between the lines if you cant read the line itself
anonymous Nov 13th, 2011 11:10pm report
This song is, in fact, about one of John Lennon's many affairs. But he said that he was trying to emphasize the point that he *didn't* sleep with the girl.
"I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me." This line, I believe, is saying that she cared more about the relationship than he did.
"She showed me her room, isn't it good, Norwegian wood." This line is saying that he did go home with her.
"She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere. So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair." This line tells that she wasn't making not sleeping with her easy for him.
"I sat on the rug, biding my time, drinking her wine." He didn't sleep with her. He was stalling and distracting.
"We talked until two, and then she said, 'It's time for bed.'" She wasn't planning on letting him put it off any longer.
"She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh. I told her I didn't and crawled up to sleep in the bath." He, once again, found a way *not* to sleep with her.
"And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown." She was tired of him putting this part of their relationship off, so she leaves him.
"So, I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norwegian wood." He is perfectly fine with the fact that they're not together anymore and he wants to put it out of his mind.
He wrote this song because he wanted to write a song about an affair, but he wanted his wife to know that he hadn't been *completely* unfaithful to her.
That's my interpretation.
anonymous May 31st, 2011 5:05am report
This song is a song about hippie love, as some1 previusely said. its not a prostetute,but a girl he mes somewhere. They sit on the floor like some steryotype hippies and have a good time. then its late and they got to bed. there they do whatever they wanted too, and John went to sleep in the bath so she wouldent wake him up when she went to work.
anonymous Apr 18th, 2011 4:58pm report
The song is about a guy who goes to a chicks flat in hopes of a 1 night stand. She plays head games with him and leaves in the morning, so he decides to take some of her furnature made of wood from Norway and build a fire to keep warm in the shanty flat. Lennon likes to write songs that have negativity in them. He was the original punk rocker, ahead of his time.

Periphery: Misha Mansoor Masterclass (Part 2)April 24th, 2010
Get the Flash Player to see this content.
[Note: Guitar Messenger provided Misha with a POD X3 Live processor for his guitar tones and a Vox AC DA5 amp for monitoring. In this video Misha is playing his Blackmachine Guitar tuned to Drop-C and using Dunlop Jazz III Ultex picks.]
This is sort of a triplet riff – it dances you around the pulse. It's funny, it sounds kind of like Terminator. It's one of the two riffs that we get called for being Terminator rip-offs, and you know what? I'm fine with that, because Terminator fuckin' rules. But you have to sort of imagine '1-2-3, 1-2-3…'
So it's kind of playful – it plays around the beat a little bit.
[Note: Racecar is performed on a 7-string using "Tosin Tuning" tuned 1/2 step down: Bb Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. In the masterclass video Misha performs excerpts from Racecar on his 6-string in Drop-C tuning.]
We tried [Tosin Tuning] for that song, and it's really cool. When you change the relationships of the strings, you can do some insane moves and you end up with some really cool riffs. So you can play drop D songs in that tuning. And the midsection of that song goes into this sort of rock feel for a little bit:
One goal that I have with my music – it's up to you to decide whether I've failed or succeeded at this – but we're definitely trying to write interesting, proggy chord changes that we have sing-along choruses to, that have catchy vocal lines. It's very, very hard to find that line that works for that reason. You usually end up with stuff that works, but doesn't necessary fit very well. But I really like the part that we wrote for that, and it took a little bit of working out, because it is not a very obvious chord progression.
AGCFAD Tuning & Zyglrox
This tuning is actually an interesting tuning. For those of you who don't know what tuning it is – we normally tune [our 6-strings] to CGCFAD, and this is AGCFAD. I was in Mauritius on vacation, visiting my parents, and I had a 6-string there, and this was my way of getting extended range on a 6-string. It's the same relationship of strings as if you had a 7-string missing that sixth string. So you have an octave [between the open sixth string, and the second fret of the fifth string].
**Very special thanks to C-Rob and Phil of Infinite Descent for their assistance in shooting this feature, C-Rob for making a kick-ass video intro, and Nolly of Red Seas Fire for providing the spot-on transcriptions of Insomnia and Zyglrox**

…a multi-disciplinary performance piece about the art of angling called "Fly Box." Suchy's mixed-media presentation – which incorporates live original music, photography, video, poetry, textile art and actual fishing flies – will premiere during the Racine Art Museum's Meet Me on the Patio event on Friday, Aug.
Many currently in the sport often wonder if another angler is a BTM angler or ATM angler (before THE movie or after THE movie). Will this new mixed media presentation be enough to spark the next generation of anglers to join the sport causing all pre- "Fly Box" anglers to curse the post- "Fly Box" anglers? Only time will tell.
(If somebody goes, see if you can sneak in a video camera inside your hat, cleverly aimed through the hole you poke through the dotted "i" in the Orvis logo. It will be like those pre-DVD releases of movies still in the theater you can download by torrent. (At least, that's what I've heard. I wouldn't know from personal experience.) Please be a little more discreet than these folks.)

Value: 30%
This assignment requires you to use two online resources and then present your findings. To undertake it, you will have to choose one of the novels on the course as your base text, the text upon which you will centre your research for this assignment. Do that first.
OK. Now proceed to step one:
- Visit the Linked Modernisms site. On this site, you will be able to query and visualize relationships among a wide range of figures and entities related to modernism across the arts and around the world. Use it to begin with something you recognize, and that is related to the novel you've chosen, and explore out from there. Keep track of the connections and terms you explore for step two.
- Visit the Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism through the Databases page of the UVic Libraries website. Building upon the research you did in step one, find four related entries in the REM that pertain to the novel you have chosen, and to one another. They may be directly or indirectly related.
- Prepare a presentation of 20-30 minutes' duration. Your presentation must
- List the terms you selected.
- Justify how the terms are related to one another (do not just repeat what the websites say, but flesh it out to show relevance to the novel you've chosen).
- Show how they enhance our understanding of some aspect of the novel: its aesthetics, politics, form, concerns.
- Suggest a thesis — an argument — about the novel that could be constructed based on your findings.
- Outline how you would prosecute that argument.
I expect that your presentation will use visualizations and illustrations. Feel free to be creative, and to explore both digital and analogue possibilities for presenting your findings and advancing your argument.
NB – This is a formal presentation, so you should dress accordingly and present yourself professionally. This will form part of your mark.

Which original "Weg" are you most like?
Originality is an important quality in a person. There is this one group of teenagers who contain just that quality. Although only two of the 8 teenagers are actually related, overall they make up one whole group, or one complete person. This group is referred to as "The Weg's" by their close friends.
Do you think you have the courage to enter the Weg household and take on the harsh reality of criticism? Many people run out crying, but in the end... you always come running back. Keep in mind: WEG = YOUR ANTI-DRUG.

Mayor's Report
March 2009
We had an opportunity to discuss the Sewer Plant funding options with residents at our last Village Board Meeting. Village Engineer Kris Dimmick presented an overall review of the stimulus funding program and answered all questions.
Since my last letter, the debt which the Village would incur has improved; more of the proposed plan is to be given in a grant to the village (50%). As the program stands now, each household would incur an increase in their quarterly water and sewer bill of $130 a year.
This past year the Village Board reduced the tax rate from $7 per thousand to $6.75 per thousand, due in part to the 2 million dollar increase in the Village tax revenue from new construction in the Village. We are again looking at again lowering the tax rate in our new fiscal year starting June 1. We should know more about this option by next month. In the mean time, please write, email or call with your questions.
This coming summer should be busy for the village; we are targeting activity at Fort Pike Park, Stoodly Park and a trail system. It is my hope that all three will be started with both Fort Pike Park and Stoodley Park, possibly completed this summer. The trail system (fingers crossed) should get started.
As usual, please contact the Village Office with concerns or questions.
Respectfully submitted,
Eric Constance, Mayor
Village of Sackets Harbor

Probably Barcelona's biggest and most colourful street party, the Festa de Gràcia gets underway on August 15th and, during one week, seventeen streets will be decorated for the celebrations, on another year of this historical event. The first reference of this festivity dates back to 1817, when Gràcia was a small village, and not yet absorbed as a neighbourhood by Barcelona.
Gràcia was established in 1626, in the surroundings of a convent called Nostra Senyora de Gràcia (Our Lady of Grace). Gràcia was an independent municipality until it was annexed to Barcelona in 1897 along with other villages in the plain of Barcelona. The expansion of the Eixample district in the 19th century eventually led to the northward expansion of Barcelona, connecting Gràcia to the growing metropolis.
Given the confirmation that some two thirds of the event's visitors will be attending its morning, afternoon and early-evening activities, it will hold its main family-interest shows and cultural events at those times.
Still, the night party may stretch out to 2 am during the week and 3.30 am during the weekend, with concerts and music.
The first event of the Festival was the poster contest. Aina Cordoncillo, local illustrator, has been selected among 268 participants, and her poster will be the Official Poster of the Festival.

I have a 99 Ford Explorer. That I just use for fishing I do not use it daily. In the winter when it sits for about two weeks the battery goes dead. I have had it jumped by Triple A and they said the alternator and the battery appear to be working fine. I am not where this vehicle is every day so I cannot start it every day. I want to have some idea what I should be asking the auto repair shop to look at rather than go thru an expensive trial and error exercise.
have the same problem?

When it comes to bulking up your lower body, there are two exercises that'll never steer you wrong—squats and lunges. This straightforward, mass-building routine takes those two exercises to the next level by introducing a barbell into the mix.
A series of barbell front squats, barbell reverse and forward lunges, and a finishing set of bodyweight squats (to give your legs just a little bit of rest) will stack size onto your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. Incorporate this routine into your weekly regimen and say goodbye to scrawny legs.
You'll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you'll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you've finished all exercises, rest for 60 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for 5 to 8 rounds.
Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest period. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
For a complete archive of our daily quick-hit routines, go to mensfitness.com/todaysworkout.
