7 Ways to Make Your Motocross Training More Effective
February 20th, 2009 • Comments Cycling/Fitness
Tags: cycling, Cycling/Fitness, motocross, rollers, training
Training is a crucial part of motocross racing. It is impossible to be successful in motocross without a vigorous and effective training routine. Being fit allows you to push harder and last longer which can be extremely beneficial at rough tracks such as Southwick. Motocross is a physically demanding sport and being in excellent shape can have lasting effects on your performance.
However, most motocross athletes are novices to training. They are unaware of how to workout and how to make it as affective as possible. Here are seven ways to make your motocross training more effective.
Eat Right
I have found that most amateur motocross are notoriously bad eaters. Maybe this is as a result of the heavy influence of the energy drink market, or maybe it is due to the nutritionally lacking food sold by vendors at the races, or maybe it is a result of the fact that many motocross riders are teenagers, who also, notoriously eat badly. Regardless of the reason though, many motocross riders eat poorly, which has a significant negative impact on our training.
As a result, if you want to maximize the effect your training has on your fitness, eat right. Eating right can be an incredible task, and I am not going to begin to cover it all here, but there are some tips which should get you on the right path to eating healthier.
- Go Organic: Organic foods contain less chemicals, more nutrients and are ultimately better for your body. They allow you to maximize the nutritional value from your food and minimize the damaging chemicals found in many of todays foods. Thankfully, organic foods are clearly labeled and can be found at many big grocery stores including Wal-Mart, Stop and Shop and, obviously, Whole Foods.
- Eat a Big Breakfast: Eating a big breakfast prevents mid morning snacks and helps to carry you throughout your entire day nutritionally. Don't skimp on breakfast, its an important nutritional step in your day.
- Don't drink your calories: Calories in a liquid format go down much easier than in solid food. Furthermore, sugary drinks such as soda contain incredible amounts of sugar and calories an considerable decrease the effectiveness of your training.
These are just a few of the ways to help improve your eating habits. In the future, I will go over the many other ways, but those are a few tips to help you get started improving your diet.
Recover After Hard Workouts
There is no way around it, intense workouts take a toll on your body. Whether cycling, running or lifting, exercising puts a toll on your muslces, your bones, your joints, and ultimately your mind. Almost as important as actually working out is the recovery days in between tough work outs. Whether you choose to take a day off to recover, or simply take it easy, recovery days can do wonders for your fitness.
Recovery days allow your your muscles to rest and repair themselves for another hard day. In addition, they allow your mind to rest and get recharged for another hard day in the gym or on the bike. Finally, taking an occasional day off gives you time to do other things that are crucial to your motocross success.
Take a day off from cycling to work on your bike, do a few extra laps at the practice track, get organized for the weekend or spend some time resting your mind and getting yourself in a good mental position to perform at your best during the race weekend.
Recovery is almost as important as actually exercising and without it your training routine is simply doing harm to your body and is not actually allowing your fitness to improve.
Take Your Training Indoors
We all love sunny weather. It makes running and cycling much more enjoyable and ultimately motivates us more to get out there and exercise. However, it is not always sunny out. Whether rain, snow, ice, or wind, in New England adverse weather is unavoidable.
But, this does not mean that your training routine must be put on hold while the weather is holding you up indoors. There are a number of ways to continue training inside your home. Even if you cannot get to the gym, the show much go on as far as your training goes, here are a few ways to go that.
- Rollers or a trainer: Rollers and trainers are excellent ways to take your cycling training indoors. Rollers help to increase your straight line stability and trainers can significantly increase the overall power of your pedal stroke. Both devices can easily be used indoors, regardless of the weather.
- Push Ups and Sit Ups: Most people who spend a lot of time in the gym overlook push ups and sit ups as a waste of time because the effects are not as noticeable and they obviously put much less resistance on your muscles. However, the fact is that when done right, they can be very beneficial to your overall fitness. In order to maximize the effect, do many sets of many reps, do your reps slow, and don't allow too much recovery time in between sets. While push ups and sit ups will never be as effective as lifting, they can be a great alternative if you are stuck inside.
- Recover: I just went over how beneficial recovery is to your training. So, if your stuck inside due to inclement weather, take a day to recover so you can come back rested and recharged when the weather improves.
Find a Workout Buddy
One of the toughest parts about keeping your motocross training effective is working out when you plan to. There is no denying that some days, you just don't feel like getting on the bike and putting in a hard 60 mile ride. This is where a workout buddy comes in. Having a friend to work out with is a great way to stay motivated.
Working out with a friend as opposed to doing your exercises solo can benefit your training in a number of ways. Not only does planning workouts with a buddy keep you on track and makes skipping a workout less convenient, but exercising with a friend can be incredibly motivating.
While running, riding, or lifting by yourself, it is too easy to give up when the going gets tough and let up while in the middle of a tough climb. I'm not saying everyone will give in, but the vast majority will, and this limits how effective your training can be. Thankfully, working out with a partner can help to eliminate this and as a pair you can push yourself to new levels and allow you to go further on the bike, running, or in the gym than you ever thought you could.
Develop a Schedule
Another tip to help prevent missed workouts, developing a schedule can be infinitely useful in keeping your training on track. Formulating a set in stone schedule not only allows you to easily plan around when you will be working out, it also allows your body to adjust to your workout/recovery cycle. A predetermined schedule prevents you from the dangerous cycle of extremely hard periods of training followed by extended periods of rest. Instead, having a good schedule can ensure that you get a consistent amount of training in week in and week out.
Furthermore, having a schedule can make your life easier when it is time to increase your training regime. With a good solid schedule as a starting point, it is easier to add a number of miles to certain days when you know you feel the freshest in your week.
I strongly feel that most athletes do not plan their training regime enough and rather just train when they feel like it which is both inefficient and can be quite dangerous.
Push Yourself To the Edge
While it is important to ensure that your training and your workouts are all done safely and within your own personal limits, it is equally important to take certain days out of your schedule and really push yourself to the bitter edge. It is almost impossible to ever improve in your fitness if you always ride within your comfort level. Instead, it is crucial to push yourself as far as you can, essentially to the verge of failure.
This will benefeit your training in a number of ways. Not only will it test your body so you know exactly how much your training has improved your fitness, but it also pushes your muslces to an area of fatigue that they are not adjusted too which makes it easier to go to that same level next time. Essentially, this will ultimately allow you to increase your lactate threshold which helps build stronger muscles and ultimately increases your fitness. Here are a few ways for you to push your training to a whole new level.
Cario Exercises (running/cycling):
- Distance: Manny cardio athletes have a certain distance they are comfortable with. For me, this is about 60 miles cycling and 3 miles running (I don't run a lot). One way to push yourself to the edge is to increase this distance. The key, however, is to not give up. Many people would be surprised to see how far they can actually ride/run, and the key is to push yourself up the last hill on your ride and push yourself to spring the last 100m after a long run. It is tough to do, and takes a certain amount of mental integrity, but can have an incredible effect on your fitness.
- Hills: Every cyclist and running dreads hills. They take an incredible amout of extra energy and force your body to push it self beyond its comfort zone. However, as a result riding hills can increase your fitness far beyond the normal riding. Try to find a loop around your home with a number of long, steep hills in quick recession to really test and improve your fitness.
- Workout with someone stronger: When your workout by yourself, you naturally get into a comfort level and it is very hard to push yourself past this. However, working out with a friend who is stronger and more fit than you can have great effects on your training intensity. Working out as a pair can help motivated you and help push yourself when you are struggling. As motocross racers, we are all incredibly competitive and mentally we have a hard time letting someone beat us up a hill or through a flat. There is almost no more affective way to push your training to a new level then training with someone who is stronger than you.
Strength Training (Lifting):
- More weight: Obviously the more weight you lift, the stronger you get and the more you can push your body. However, you must be careful with this technique. It is easy to lift too much and severely hurt your muscles. So, if you choose to increase your weight in your weight training, please be sure not to push yourself too far or you could find yourself unable to ride motocross for weeks or even months.
- More Reps: An extremely effective way to increase your fitness using weight training is to increase the number of reps you do with the same amount of weight. This is a very safe way to increase your fitness and can build strong, lean, and efficient muscles which can be very beneficial to your motocross riding.
Variety in Your Routine
It is both physically and mentally draining to do the same type of workouts day in and day out. It is hard to get motivated for a road bike ride when you know you'll just have to climb the same hills, tuck in the same descents and deal with the same stoplights. It is much easier to get excited to workout for a new ride or run with new features to test your body in different ways. This is why it is almost crucial to build variety into your workout routine. Variety helps keeps you mentally and physically fresh and prevents you from burning out and abandoning your intense training schedule all together.
Here are a few ways to build variety into your workout schedule:
- Different exercises: Mix it up. Lift one day, cycle the next and run on the others. Depending on what you enjoy doing, favor your schedule to that activity, but always be sure to do a little bit of what you don't enjoy as much. Not only will it make your favored activity even better but it will help to build different muscles which otherwise would go ignored.
- Different routes: Map out a number of routes on Google Maps and print them out. Cycle them throughout your training schedule to keep it fresh and exciting.
- Different time of day: Depending on your schedule, this method may or may not be possible, however, riding/running/lifting at different times of day can add a ton of variety to your training. Cycling/running in the morning is a totally different experience than in the evening and can make your training unique even if the route and intensity are exactly the same.
- Recover: I've said it before, and I'll say it again and again, because it is incredibly important. Recovery is crucial in your training routine and your hard work is wasted if you don't give your muscles time to re-grow, get stronger and prepare themselves for the next days workout. Make sure to include one or two days a week for recovery so that you are not constantly beating your body into the ground.
Training for motocross can be monotonous, painful, and sometimes ineffective if done incorrectly. However, there are a number of tips to help make your motocross training not only more effective, but more importantly more enjoyable which will help motivate you to train more, preventing burnout and maximizing your results to have the largest effect on the motocross track.
Tips for Using Bicycle Rollers Indoor as a Part of Winter Cross-Training
November 18th, 2008 • Comments Cycling/Fitness
Tags: cycling, rollers, training, winter
In one of my past posts, I highlighted why I believe using rollers as a part of your winter training program is crucial. However, there are a number of tips, tricks, and methods which can make training indoors on a set of rollers much more enjoyable.
Many cyclists shy away from using rollers. They have the reputation of being very dangerous, and hard to use. Fortunately, this is extremely far from the truth. When used alone, rollers are very daunting, as the prospect of staying in a 1 or 2 foot wide path while cycling, drinking, or sprinting through intervals is daunting to say the least. Thankfully, a door frame is about the perfect width for you to use your rollers in. If you position the roller frame so that your elbows line up with the edges of the doorframe, the chances of you falling off the rollers is slim to none. You can simply stick out your elbows and block yourself from moving off the side. Another useful tip to prevent falling while on rollers is to remember not to turn the handlebars. Instead, lean from side to side while keeping your handlebars perfectly straight. This makes it much easier to stay upright and prevents the dreaded front-wheel roll-off that many new roller users experience.
What are Bicycle Rollers?
November 14th, 2008 • Comments Cycling/Fitness
Tags: cycling, rollers, trainers, training
In my previous post on winter cross-training, I mentioned that I enjoy using bicycle rollers as a form on indoor training. However, after posting that article it occurred to me that some of you motocross-minded readers may not be entirely sure what bicycle rollers are.
Roller Basics
Essentially, bicycle rollers are a form of bicycle trainer used for indoor training by cyclists. However, unlike the standard bicycle trainer where the rear wheel is fixed into a frame, on rollers the bike is completely free to move. Rollers are made up of a metal rectangular frame holding three metal (they can also be wood or plastic) cylinders. Two of the cylinders are close together at one end of the frame while the third is on the other end of the frame. The rear wheel of the bike is placed in between the two close cylinders while the front wheel is placed on the front single cylinder. The front roller and the front roller of the back pair are connected by a (normally rubber) belt which causes the front wheel to spin as you pedal the back wheel. Because there is nothing holding the bike laterally, you are free to move from side to side, and possibly, right off the side of the rollers. Normally, the front cylinder has the ability to be adjusted from front to back in order to accommodate a wide range of bike sizes and wheelbases.
Planning for 2009 (Step 1): Winter Cross-Training

The 2008 motocross season is over, as is summer, and it is time to start planning for 2009 as winter sets in.
Why Cross Train?
The winter off season provides the perfect time to cross train for motocross. A lot of riders ignore cross training as part of their motocross program, and I believe this is a mistake. Nothing can replace riding motocross in order to perfect your skills, however, being in good physical shape can do wonders for your riding. The winter off season is the perfect time to get this done because of the break from racing. The winter break gives riders time to take a needed mental break from riding in order to improve their physical condition. Come springtime, it is much easier to get back into the swing of motocross if you are in top physical condition as opposed to a lazy, out of shape lump after doing nothing all winter. This winter will be one of my first where I stick to a rigorous training schedule, and I am hoping that I will definitely notice a difference come February when I begin riding again.

Connexion Shutdown Raises Questions about eXchange
Boeing's plans to shut down its Connexion satellite Internet service after failure to turn a profit in six years of operation put a damper on what should have been only good news this month for Rockwell Collins. The avionics maker announced that a newly manufactured Bombardier Global Express XRS became the first customer airplane to enter service with eXchange Internet hardware, which uses the Connexion satellite link. Boeing intends to pull the plug on Connexion by year-end, leaving Collins little time to study alternatives. The avionics maker is in discussions with four Ku-band satellite operators about transponder lease agreements that would allow eXchange service to continue after Connexion goes off the air. Service pricing will likely rise, and moderate changes to eXchange hardware and software will also be needed, according to a Rockwell Collins spokesman.

GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP, MI (WHTC) -- An accident involving someone riding a bicycle early Saturday morning sent an Allendale man to the hospital. Sgt. Christie Wendt of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office says that 23-year-old Albert Sowers was riding a bicycle in the middle of the road just after midnight on Saturday. The bicycle had no lights on it. A vehicle driven by 21-year-old Mason Blackmere, also of Allendale, was driving northbound on Laker Lane toward Pierce St., running into Sowers, who was riding in the middle of the road. Sowers was taken to Spectrum Hospital with injuries to his shoulder. The accident is still under investigation.

I put together two new computers a little less than two months ago for my wife and I. These are multipurpose machines as they're used for our home office as well as gaming (not just WoW). But they're excellent for WoW and should meet requirements of other games for a good while without upgrades. I buy everything from newegg and try to get their combo deals when possible.
Antec 300 Case
OCZ StealthXStream 700W PSU
Gigabyte MA790X-UD4O mobo
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black (many of these can unlock to quad core)
G.Skill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 1066
Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB graphics card
WD Caviar Black 640GB HD
LG DVD Burner (SATA)
Acer 23" HDMI 1080P widescreen LCD
Total cost to my door was $1597.26 (including wireless cards and other small things like thermal grease). This was for 2 systems so each one was $798.63.
For $800 you'd be hard pressed to do much better, though everyone has their opinion.
I have since also added a Razer Lycosa keyboard to replace my old Logitech G15, and I still use an older MX510 mouse, and a plantronics .Audio 550 headset that is a couple years old now (highly recommended over Logitech headsets that seem to be of lesser quality)
Disclaimer: I am not an AMD and/or ATI fanboy. I usually build with Intel/Nvidia setups but went this route for a better balance of value and performance.
TL:DR - build your own computer...if that seems scary see if you know someone who can help you.
The only software you should ever have to pay for is the OS and games. You can get Vista for $99 from Newegg which includes a free upgrade to Windows 7. I recently built a CrossFire/QuadCore rig via Newegg for $1800, which included absolutely everything including an HD monitor and would have cost hundreds more from a retailer.
TL/DR, software costs are a non-issue, OS is sometimes an issue, but not too expensive.
OS cost is typically about $99-$199(OEM basic or "premium" versions, respectively), though it's sometimes possible to use a version from a preexisting computer/build. This depends on who you bought your old computer from. Smaller stores and custom boutique places tend to use OEM versions of windows that'll install just fine into any working rig you can build. Larger places like Dell use branded disks that'll check your hardware for the companies proprietary BIOS, and refuse to install if they don't find it(this can be bypassed, but it's not always easy, or technically legal depending on local laws). Other software costs are only relevant if your old software doesn't work on your new machine/OS AND there's no free alternative, which for the average home user/gamer is rarely an issue(they're either using the free stuff in the first place, or the software bundles from the old computer install on the new rig without issue, or the old computer still works and can be used to run the old software).
And why am I assuming that there's older software/hardware/copies of the OS laying around? Because people who assemble their own machines tend to do so *after* they've bought a prebuilt system they've tinkered with, fixed or upgraded and found that it's not as hard or scary as some people seem to think it is.
re: "what about the OS"
If you're upgrading from an existing machine, you can use your same copy/license number. In fact, if you're using the same hard drive, sometimes you don't even have to reinstall the OS. It'll recognize the new components on start up, at least enough for you to install whatever updated drivers you need.
I'll often leave the hard drive in and let it recognize stuff at least the first time I turn on a new Motherboard, even though I know I'm going to do a fresh install later. It lets me take a few days off of messing with it, and games like WoW will generally play just fine in the meantime :D. Additionally, it gives me a kind of dry run where I can decide which of the accompanying software I want to install and which is just advertware.

Effect of Drug and Alcohol Use in Pregnancy Fetal Development
Before I found out that I was pregnant, I got drunk and smoked some pot. Will this affect my pregnancy fetal development?
I think it is pretty safe to say that if it was a one-time occurrence during pregnancy, your fetal development was not harmed by this alcohol or marijuana use.
Marijuana has been shown in studies to have effects on fetal brain development in fetuses that show up later in the child's life. Exposure to marijuana may harm your child's ability to solve problems or concentrate. Plus, there is the mystery factor in any street drug: What else is in there? It is not uncommon for marijuana to be laced with PCP, crack or other drugs. Continued exposure, of course, maximizes all of these risks.
It is imperative that you stop drinking alcohol at this point, as well. There is actually more medical proof that alcohol use is extremely dangerous to pregnancy fetal development. This is especially true of fetal development in early in pregnancy.
One night of partying isn't likely to harm your baby, but continued partying will. I would encourage you to be honest with your doctor, as well, when she asks about drinking or drug use. Even if it was just the one time.
If you have any problems stopping, it is important to ask for help. There are free, anonymous 12-step and other recovery meetings available in almost every town. There are online meetings available, as well, and support groups both online and in real life.
If this was just a one-time or occasional thing for you, then tell your doc, don't indulge again and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

Harappan script is a pictorial symbols. One must know that Harappan used the natural symbols of fish and stars , as they lived by water bodies. It confirms my research and interpretation that Harappans were NAGAS of SUNDALAND, who left the coastal areas at the end of last Ice age when SUNDALAND got submerged into water due to rising sea level with melting glaciers and advent of Rivers and River civilizations.
Harappan script----- which is seemingly similar to Prakriti and resembles Tamil and Barhui script----- it is close to Brahmi, too.
Ancient Brahmi script, which led to development of Sanskrit and Devnagri scripts. Brahmi was developed from Prakriti ---- which is also the mother of Tamil and Barhui. You can see the close resemblence of this to various other pictorial scripts. I say even Tamil and other South Indian Languages along with scripts of North East languages are very close to this.
With more and more archaeological, genetic, astrological, geological and scientific datas available, it is now clear that myths about ARYANS and DRAVIDIANS were created because of half knowledge of foreigners about ancient Indian past. They interpreted Indian history based on what they saw in Harappa and Mohanjodaro, discounting everything else that might have preceded it.
Aryan invasion thheory (AIT) or Aryan Migration Theory (AMT) is a myth created on wrong interpretations. Aryan was a word comprising two sanskrit roots i.e. AA+RI-------AA means NOT and RI means common man, as it is in RIYYA in old Persian. Thus, ARYAN stood for---NOT A COMMON MAN or very simply put ---a NOBLE MAN. This is how ancient Indian scriptures refer to Kings and princes and persons with high social status. There was nothing RACIAL or ethnic about them.
MYTH of ARYA, as a race, was created by Europeans or more particularly the GERMANS, who were looking for a racial supremacy. Therefore, when in the early twenties of the last Century, such magnificent archaeological sites as HARAPPA and MOHANJO-DARO were excavated, they were immediately linked to something superior which had imported itself from outside to the Indian mainland. People, like MAXMULELLER and MORTIMER WHEELER, could not believe that ancient INDIA could have had created such ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS IN URBAN DWELLING.
Western Scholars, trained and educated on the biblical beliefs that the universe was created only around 23 October 4100BC, could not think of the world existing prior to this.In fact, this belief might have risen from a fact of GEOLOGICAL UPHEAVAL that might have caused a serious disaster to humans and geography. It endorses my view on REVERSE JOURNEY of NAGAS to their Original land-----and the cause of SARASWATI losing its two tributaries,i.e. YAMUNA and SATLUJ.
In time and space, western scholars, therefore, reduced everything to within 2000BC and originating from Central Asia. Thus, based on the flimsiest of grounds, the theory of ARYAN INVASION and CONQUER was floated when a mount of dead bodies was found at MOHANJO-DARO. It was assumed that they might have been slaughtered by the SUPERIOR ARYANS. This myth led to the emergence of a SUPER MYTH on the supremacy and superiroity of a great ARYAN & VEDIC KNOWLEDGE, imported from outside. New archaeological excavations and the interpretation of the ORAL HISTORY reveal that the MYTH and the SUPER MYTH, both, were a cruel joke on the ANCIENT GREATNESS of INDIA.
The word DRAVIDIANS is a derivation from a old Sanskrit root--VID ---which meant water----RI--meant People and DRI---Have/Possess/living, as in old persian DRIn-CHE-SHAK, (Have No doubts)----Thus, DRAVID meant people who lived in the coastal region or the water body. In ancient scriptures, FIVE regions have been decribed as DRAVIDAS---Maharashtra, Gujarat, TAMIL NADU, ANDHRA, KARNATKA. It was the region closely associated with now submerged Sunda Land. It is also called lost LIMURIA ISLAND or KUMARI KANDHAM in ancient Tamil texts. The word DRAVID was first time used by a 7th century BUDHIST SCHOLAR of Sanskrit Mr. KUMARILLA BHATTA in his bool TANTARIKAVARTIYA. He used the term to decribe NON-SANSKRIT SPEAKING people of these five regions as mentioned above. The word DRAVID could also be a derivation from a Sanskrit word DRAMILLA or DRAMIL or even TAMIL. It was only in 1859, a christian missionary, Robert Caldwel , who sought to link it with ethnicity and race because he found similarity in the grammar and dialects of 73 variations of TAMIL LANGUAGE including BARHUI spoken in BALOCHISTAN and Afghanistan. However he failed to link it with NAGA CIVILISATION of ancient India, who left SUBMEGED SUNDALAND at the end of last ice age.
The inhabitants of Sundaland were called NAGAS,because NAAG also means a WATER BODY in old sanskrit. They are the people who established FIRST HUMAN AGRICYLTURAL CIVILISATION. While interpreting Harappan script,one must know that Harappan used the natural symbols of fish and stars to develop their script because they were natural objects seen by them, as they lived by water bodies. It confirms my research and interpretation that Harappans were NAGAS of SUNDALAND, who left the coastal areas at the end of last Ice age when SUNDALAND got submerged into water due to rising sea level with melting glaciers and advent of Rivers and River civilizations. SUNDA LAND was the cradle of HUMAN Civilisation. For other details on SUNDA LAND and Chronology of ancient Indian History/ events see my blog :
The VEDIC Knowledge was developed by these people and they too it along with them as they moved up North and West,at the end of LAST ICE AGE (8000-10000 BC). They established RIVER CIVILISATIONS along, Saraswati and Indus rivers. Archaeologically, 75% of excavations of old settlements , dating to Harappan period, have been found on the ancient course of River SARASWATI. Therefore, IVC , should be really SARASWATI VALLEY CIVILISATION of NAGAS. Its they who migrated North and later some 4000 years afterwards, returned due to a geological upheaval. It is these people who are refered to by some Historians as ARYANS and residual people of Ancient India as Dravids. But this is a half bit of ancient Indiamn History.
From above discussion, I have reached two conclusions :-
------ Ancient Indian history, even prior to Harappa and IVC belonged to people who inhabited lost land mass of SUNDALAND , also called KUMARI KANDHAM and LIMURIA. These people worshippers of lord Shiva were the creator of Vedic knowledge. This was the FIRST HUMAN CIVILISATION anywhere in the world.
-------- My second observation is that Indian ancient history post NAGA CIVILISATION or Post LAST ICE AGE is a story of MIGRATIONS, TO AND FRO AND CROSS MIGRATIONS. It is these people who went up and down to PERSIA, EUROPE, CAUCASIAN HIGHLANDS and returned with different identities.
As regards the confusion about ANI and ASI merger is concerned, let me assert again that it took place 40,000 years back------ it took another 20,000 years for first human civilisation to develop in these coastal regions.
Recent genetic Studies have shown that there were no GENETIC DIFFERENCES between North and South Indians. Please refer to ----- "A prehistory of Indian Y chromosomes: Evaluating demic diffusion scenarios". Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences of United States of America ; 103(4) carried out on 26 Jan 2004. . Genetically speaking, ANCIENT NORTH INDIANS (ANI) came to this land some 40,000 years from Middle East and ANCIENT SOUTH INDIANS (ASI) entered South India through Australia some 60,000 years back------What ever genetic differences existed between ANI and ASI that was some 40,000 years back is . Here is an extract from a study report on " ARYAN-DRAVID -DIVIDE" MYTH-Study:-
"----------.A study of 132 individuals, 560,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 25 different Indian groups were analyzed, providing strong evidence in support of the notion that modern Indians are a hybrid population descending from two pre-historic, genetically divergent populations[citation needed], one of which, referred to as the 'Ancestral North Indians', 40,000 years ago and the other, called the 'Ancestral South Indians', 60,000 years ago. The intermingling of ANI's and ASI's happened in the same period as the ANI's first appeared, 40,000 years ago -------"
This report has been published in TIMES OF INDIA on 25 September 2009. Therefore the study of prehistory of SUNDA LAND/LEMURIA/KUMARI KANDAMN is very important. I insist that there was nothing known as ARYAN and DRAVIDIANS in the ancient India. They were just symbols of address for various type of people. ARYANS were NOT a race but a lingual fraternity who owed their ancestry to NAGAS of SUNDA LAND/ KUMARI KANDAM/ LEMURIA. To be very frank, if I can use the term 'Anglicised-'NRI' to describe the ARYANS of ancient India, as in the modern context , I won't be drastically wrong. They were 'SANSKRITISED NAGAS' who returned home after a long sojourn outside Indian sub-continent. Same is true of Dravidans----they were 'Non -Sanskritised' people-----who did not speak Sanskrit.
Look at the ancient map of submergedTamil Nadu or Sunda Land/Kumari Kandham/Limuria island:-
To follow detailed discussion and elaboration of connected issues, kindly refer to my other articles on this subject with following links: -
Dear Sekhar,
I really appreciate your views.
Well, there are points of difference----- basically because of different sources------ I am on a way to reconcile them. I would like you to read Dr NS Rajaram and R David Frawley, in their book HIDDEN TREASURE---- 10000 Years of Indian History. My chronology of ancient history is deduced by reading many Indian and western scholars.
I draw your attention to the fact, often missed by all, that THE FIRST HUMAN SOCIAL GROUP/COMMUNITY emerged on the coastal waters of Indian Ocean ----- along the region, what I call SUNDALAND. And this happened around 20,000 BC. Another 10,000 years, this social group turned itself into an AGRICULTURAL CIVILISATION . It is these people who called themselves as NAGAS, because they lived next to a water body. At the time of end of LAST ICE AGE around 8000 BC, they had developed VEDIC KNOWLEDGE sufficiently but were forced to move north and West due to submerge cue of SUNDALAND because of rising sea level caused by melting glacier. I therefore as retain that GENETICALLY, speaking merger of ANI and ASI had taken place much before this, say around 20,000 BC.
I have read Mahadevan and the Russian scientist Asko Purpola----- I am not convinced by their logic because they are disconcerted. I therefore go by the 2009 study by a US study group, which I extensively quote in my works. Anyway, we would reconcile this one day---- my study is not final or complete.
Dear Prasad Ganti,
Thanks a lot. I am obliged to you for your views.
Rajeeji, good research ! Please continue. It is good to know the genetic basis as well. About ANI and ASI following different routes into India.
Dear Rajee Sb,
I have the following suggestions.
[1] The admixture period of ANI and ASI is tentatively 2000 BCE according to Reich at all which will be confirmed or changes by them in their future article. http://www.harappadna.org/tag/asi/ and http://www.ichg2011.org/cgi-bin/showdetail.pl?absno=20758/ please see this link
[2] Kindly see the work of Dr. Iravatham Mahadevan and Prof. Asko Purpola here: http://www.harappa.com/arrow/meluhha_and_agastya_2009.pdf if you agree or not with them.
Wish you all the best in your efforts.
DMR Sekhar
Dear MV Balaji,
Yes, this is the Brahmi script., which led to development of Sanskrit and Devnagri scripts. It was developed from PRAKRITI------ which was symbol based as is the HARAPPAN SCRIPT. My assertion is that most of South Indian languages are close to Harappan script------I am researching as to how alphabets were developed from Symbols or the natural objects, as you see in BRAHMI or the most of the modern languages. if you notice OLD CHINESE SCRIPT, it is made of some 44000 characters,------BRAHMI might have been evolved around MAHABHARTA PERIOD, when VEDAS were compiled by VEDIC VYAS. It later gave way to SANSKRIT script----- or the PERFECTED SCRIPT by PANINI around 1st Century AD., later DEVNAGRI was developed from it.
Dear Sangram,
Welcome after along siesta. I am grateful to you for the kind words.
Do offer your critical views, too .
Dear Richard,
Welcome to my page. I am grateful to you for appreciation. Perhaps you could exami e it more critically to point out some grey areas in my proposed hypothesis.
Dear KB Sir,
Thanks for your palatable comment, but I expected more critical view of this effort. I am not interested in kudos----- I am looking forward to some critical examination of this hypothesis for me to further improve this. My convictions are steadfast as the rock on the Mount Everest.
Dear Suresh Rao,
Your observations are absolutely right. HARAPPAN script is symbol based. It has some 419 Characters or symbols. It , probably gave way to PRAKRITI, which led to the development of BRAHMI. This later script is the fore runner of Sanskrit and Devnagari. From PRAKRITI, were derived Tamil and other South Indian scripts. These scripts are therefore very close to Harappan script.
We must know that BARHUI spoken in Balochistan and tribal areas of Pakistan is more closer to TAMIL or Harappan script. My contention is to establish the point, through matching of scripts that, NAGAS of SUNDALAND had migrated up north and West from Submerged coast at the end of last Ice age.
I contend three things :-:-One, Ancient Indian History predates VEDIC Period and VEDIC KNOWLEDGE was developed on the shores of ancient SUNDALAND Inhabited by NAGAS. As per my observations, PRE-VEDIC PERIOD covers the period between 18000 BC and 8000 BC. THIS IS THE PERIOD WHEN KNOWLEDGE WAS DEVELOPED. Early VEDIC period begins around the end of Last ICE AGE------- and it continues till 4000 BC, when Ramayana period starts and Saraswati starts drying up , due to a geological upheaval. Mahabharta period is around 3100 BC and then starts the Post SARASWATI and POST EPIC PERIOD, when MIGRATIONS, CROSS MIGRATIONS and TRANS MIGRATIONS take place, which adds to ARYAN and DRAVIDIAN MYTHS. Second, ancient Indian Coastal region, also referred to as SUNDALAND/KUMARI KANDHAM /LEMURIA, was the cradle of first HUMAN CIVILISATION and it goes back to 20,000 Years back or some 18000BC. Three, Indian History, post LAST ICE AGE i.e. 8000 BC is a story of migrations, trans-migrations and cross migrations by NAGA PEOPLE alone, under different identities----between 8000 BC and 1500 AD---- The myth on ARYANS and Dravidians arose due to misinterpretations and half cocked knowledge of foreigners on Indian traditions and customs.
Thanks for exhibiting interest. I stand obliged and grateful.
From the 2 charts shown on scripts Harappan seems to have lot more symbols and visual stimulus script generators got from nature around. Brahmi is closer to lines and dots from which many modern scripts have come out- Greek, Latin, Roman (that is most of euro-scripts) as well as Asian and African. I wonder if Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu and so on that have more scrolls, circles, twisted lines are really based on Brahmi! Just a doubt ... I am have no specific knowledge in the area.
improvising from just symbols (star, fish etc) to lines and dot based scripting a language I would say Brahmi script is newer compared to Harappan.

Georgia Tech's Brad Jefferson said his teammates haven't changed his nickname from "Gladiator" to "Sackmaster."
After not dropping a quarterback in his first three seasons, Jefferson leads the defense with four sacks this season. He posted two more in Saturday's win against Middle Tennessee State to take the team lead away from Steven Sylvester.
The surprise is the outside linebackers like Sylvester are supposed to be getting to the quarterback, and the inside linebackers are supposed to be the run-stoppers.
Jefferson, a middle man, is doing both. In addition to being tops in sacks, he also leads the team in unassisted tackles (26) and tackles (42).
He attributed his increased production to defensive coordinator Al Groh's play calling.
"In coach Groh's schemes we're blitzing more," Jefferson said. "The blitzes are coming and I'm coming up with the sacks."
Getting to Clemson quarterback Kyle Parker may be a challenge. Because of their mobility, Tigers quarterbacks have been sacked just six times this season, one less than Tech quarterback Joshua Nesbitt has been dropped despite Parker and backups throwing 82 more passes.
"I think Kyle Parker was a good player a year ago," coach Paul Johnson said. "By the time that we played him in the ACC championship game, he was a lot more experienced than he was the year before. This year they are breaking in some new wide receivers, but he has thrown the ball really well."

Tech's defense appears to have made some improvement this year, but couldn't stop NCST when they needed to and lost to a weak Kansas team. Forget the nickname stuff. No offense to Jefferson, but players being called Terminator or Gladiator is starting to wear thin. The schedule gets tougher now. We've got some pretty good DBs, but we need some other guys to make some big defensive plays and stop sliding off tackles.

I guess the bigger question is why you have a blanket and why is it wet?
October 21st, 2010
7:47 am
Wetblanket, what has happend is tech lost games early( Not say 4out of 5). But that bumped them out of any national talk. Nesbitt needed a passing year like last year or just a little bit better and the running year he is having to have a shot at any heisman chances. Plus Pryor and Moore as well as the RB from Oregon are having dynamite years. Tech gets a little better every game, let that continue and they will win these next 5 games. Then you will hear them talk about them on espn.
October 21st, 2010
7:51 am
The Key is that this team has yet to put a whole game together. Here lately the defense seems to be closer to doing that than the offense. If the defense comes out sat. and plays like it has and the offense can play like it did in the 3rd qtr. of last sat. then chalk up another win against clemson. BUT one qrt or a half of good play isn't going to cut it this week.

this is a different team than the one that failed to show up against kansas…maybe it's wishful thinking, but i think the jackets are very close to putting it all together…i have a really good feeling about the clemson game
October 21st, 2010
8:55 am
Yes, Nesbitt for Heisman was always a long shot, but I honestly think that all the drops killed Nesbitt early and kept the passing game from getting into a rythm. Plus, with a QB like Nesbitt where the entire offense runs through him he would have to win most or all of his games (or at least have a signature performance in a loss) to get the "leadership" bonus in the Heisman race.
October 21st, 2010
8:57 am
reebok, I hope you are right. I think if we eliminate the drops in the passing game, we've got a good shot. If I were a D-coordinator, I would load the box and dare us to throw, becuase we haven't proven we can do it consistently.

We need 4 strong quarters. I have yet to understand why GT has come out flat in the first half three different times.

I wonder how much of life is like that walk. We opt out of so many things that are hard and uncomfortable and ridiculous. Sometimes I think that God is looking down on us and seriously thinking about busting out the heavenly cattle prod, just to get us off the sofa and onto a path that actually goes somewhere. Ah Sovereign Lord, help me to hear your voice and come running to follow, wherever it is you wish me to go.
Mark 2:13-14--"Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. 'Follow me,' Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him."

"Thousands of gold a week to clear the first raid dungeon... one of the major points of WOTLK was that it was becoming more casual... requiring multiple potions per boss per raid member doesn't sound very casual to me."
I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, I think that requiring people to put in time and effort farming lower level raid content for gear just to be able to move on to higher level content is absurd as well. We should all just be given a full set of top-end gear when we ding 80. That's the only way to make it fair to casual players.
I mean really, it takes almost an hour's worth of dailies to have enough gold for consumables on a raid night. AN HOUR! Are these people crazy? I'm lucky if I have half that to play each day, and I pay my 15 bucks a month just like everyone else. I should get to down Kil'Jaeden on my schedule, not have to conform to some arbitrary difficulty scale.

Today, 60,000 to 100,000 species of plant are faced with the threat of extinction. Plants provide the air we breathe, clean water and we all rely on plants for food. Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plants worldwide with a focus on plants most at risk and most useful for the future.
Climate change and globalisation have introduced many new pests, pathogens and invasive species which threaten some of our most economically important and iconic tree species.
Funding from players of People's Postcode Lottery is supporting efforts to collect seeds from the 50 most important tree species found in the UK (both native and imported). Together with partners in 50 countries worldwide, Kew's Millennium Seed Bank has already successfully saved seeds from over 10% of the world's wild plant species.
By 2020, Kew's aim is to secure the safe storage of seed from 25% of the world's bankable plants. The organisation targets plants and regions most at risk from climate change and the ever-increasing impact of human activities. They also save the seeds of the world's plant life faced with the threat of extinction, and those that could be of most use in the future.
The seeds saved are banked at Kew's Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst, and in partner seed banks around the world.

This has potential. It felt like 12oz of noodles was a lot for this recipe. I would add more veggies (anything will work), and probably only 1/4 cup chicken broth next time. My noodles came out a little mushy but it is entirely possible I did something wrong while cooking them. There is definitely a slight kick to the flavor from the sriracha which I really enjoyed.
Soba Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables

Jocilyn Posted: 08/18/09
Not one of the better cooking light recipes I've made. I substituted tofu for chicken, but I don't think that was the problem. This was very bland and needed something.
kcnkate Posted: 08/25/09
I was really surprised by the number of critical reviews of this recipe! We made it for dinner last night and it was delicious. I used a little extra chicken, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I think the key is to buy authentic Asian sauces from an Asian grocery and they will have the bold flavors you crave. Delish and healthy and will definitely make again.
roadragedesigns Posted: 07/03/09
Absolutely the most tasteless thing I have ever made from Cooking Light! Don't even bother. It basically tasted like low quality canned chicken noodle soup. Bad, Bad, Bad...
bostonsmaman Posted: 07/22/09
I had no problems making this, as I learned on a recent trip to Japan to simmer the soba noodles, not boil them, and for a max of 3 min, then rinse in cold water for over a minute. I found this meal to be tasty and easy to make w/ my julienne peeler. I used regular chicken breast (vs tenders) and added a tsp cornstarch to thicken it slightly. I made it in my cast iron skillet so I could crank up the heat and "stir fry." It was the perfect flavor and heat--we all had 2 servings each! Can't wait to make it again w/ more veggies added.
domesticgoddess Posted: 08/22/09
I was really excited to try this recipe after seeing it in the new issue of CL. I made it for my husband and 4 kids and none of us liked it. It was bland except for the kick of the hot sauce. I agree with the other reviewers, way too many noodles, not enough chicken or veggies. Lots of leftovers but unfortunately I will be throwing them out.
guinness4029 Posted: 07/09/09
I thought this was pretty good. I think it needed more Sriricha, but I think everything needs more. Husband made this. He said because of experience that when he went to mix the noodles with the sauce, he took everything off the heat, or else it would have gone mushy. I liked the zucchini as you don't usually see it in this type of dish. Husband used 5 cloves of garlic and 1 TBSP of ginger.
Chiccook Posted: 10/05/09
We loved this and ate it all up. I made the recipe as it was written with the addition of a little more chicken and carrots. I used 3 boneless skinless breasts diced and 2 carrots instead of one and only one 8oz pkg of soba noodles. It was the perfect amount of food for the 4 of us.
jle2323 Posted: 10/28/09
This was absolutely delicious and easy to make. Actually my favorite recipe that I've made this year!
SkinnyJaime Posted: 07/31/09
Terrible Recipe! I just saw this in the new issue of Cooking Light and had to try it. The siracha hot chili sauce is way too hot. Also you end up wtih way too much pasta, and not enought potein. 1 Lb of chicken is really not enough for 6 grown people to be splitting up. Overall I was disappointed in this recipe and would not make it again.
ldauksch Posted: 09/29/09
Delicious! My 7 year old saw it and said, "Wow, that looks delicious!" Saved the spicy for after the kids were served. I'm lazy so I used precut matchstick carrots, bottled garlic and refrigerated ginger in a tube. We added baby corn and the flavors were delicious. We will definitely have this again.
LisaR123 Posted: 02/22/10
Pretty tasty- I made modifications as I'm a vegetarian (veg broth, no oyster sauce, used briggs amino acids and soy sauce, pan fried tofu and added more veggies). Over all a good base for a meal (but as I made modifications I can't rate the recipe in its entirety- but a great "stater" for a sauce!)
Jing512 Posted: 05/02/12
Added more garlic than what is written, used about 1/3 of a package of firm tofu (cubed), used less noodles, and added about 1 tsp of sesame oil. I've also used broccoli and snap or snow peas in the past
sharilou Posted: 04/14/13
I was hesitant to fix this just based on the negative reviews, but I will make this again for sure. While we were eating, I told my husband that a lot of the poor reviews complained that this dish was bland, and we both laughed. I have made a number of bland stir fry recipes, and this was NOT one of them! I did make a few substitutions; Sambal Oelek in lieu of Sriracha, chicken thighs, and frozen stir fry veggies (which I always have on hand). I also made just enough noodles for two, plated that separately and ladled the chicken/veggie/sauce mixture over it. I would give this a five star, but save those for meals that I would serve guests...otherwise, this was an outstanding (and quick and easy) meal!
Deva45 Posted: 01/14/14
I loved this recipe. I added about a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil to the sauce and a ton of bok choy(because it came in my Door to Door Organics order today). I only used 8 oz of soba noodles and it was perfect. Not sure why other reviews said this was bland. I didn't think there was anything bland about it. This will be my go-to when I have extra veggies to use up!

Clearing out the haze on climate change
- Published In
- Hall of Fame
The climate science center was selected last year as one of nine U.S. Department of Interior regional climate science centers. In all, there are six climate science regions and 37 centers nationwide.
CSU leads the group of climate science centers in the North Central region, which includes Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. Colorado institutions include the University of Colorado and Colorado School of Mines.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in October announced funding of more than $10 million to the regional climate science centers. The CSU center will receive $2 million over five years, half of which goes to research and the other half funding salaries.
At the CSU climate science center in the Natural and Environmental Sciences Building, a team of almost a dozen employees is dedicated to analyzing climate change's effect on the region. That research includes subjects ranging from the pine beetle infestation to habitat and behaviorial changes in endangered species.
University and federal scientists from labs such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Center for Atmospheric Research will offer their research to land managers and work directly with them to address problems created by climate change.
Along the Front Range, "We have some of the best climate modeling work that's being done anywhere in the world," said Jeffrey Morisette, director of the climate science center.
Projections hold that the Earth will see increased warmth and drier conditions, Morisette said. That means land managers as well as farmers and ranchers will need to adapt to having less water.
One important finding that the center's climate scientists have made: Stream flows have increased during the past 50 years in the northeastern portion of the center's region, but have declined in the western part, Morisette said.
Scientists also are looking at whether the number of forest fires will rise in the future with drier conditions, he said.
Climatologists typically have worked separately from ecologists and natural resources managers, but scientists are rethinking that relationship, he said.
"We need to have climate embedded in and a part of what you do in terms of your land management and your understanding of the ecological targets you're trying to manage," he said. "I think the greatest thing we can do is get climate embedded in the thinking of land managers."
Land managers could use climate change information as they plan restoration projects by, say, planting fewer trees and more drought-tolerant plants in certain areas knowing that there will be less precipitation.
"We can provide information relative to what sort of climate signals we're seeing, what sort of trends are emerging in the short term and what some of the long-term implications are," said CSU Professor Dennis Ojima, principal investigator for the climate science center.
As part of those efforts, the center has been participating in the National Climate Assessment. The study, conducted by more than 240 scientists nationwide, will be presented to Congress later this year.
The center wrote one of the study's chapters finding that the availability of water remains a concern in the North Central region, Ojima said.
"What emerged from our analysis of the Great Plains is that we really need to come up with a more holistic strategy of how we manage collectively these resources of energy, land and water," he said.

Mini quiche with caramelized onions, mushrooms and feta cheese [Vegetarian]
Jaymi's Notes:
I'd never made a quiche before trying this recipe and I have to admit I felt nervous about it. The first thing that scares me away from a new recipe is when it calls for dishes I don't have, and the second thing that scares me away is when it calls for ingredients I don't often work with. In this case, those were quiche moulds and pie dough.
The first issue was solved with a quick trip to Cliff's Variety where I not only got the exact moulds I wanted but had to resist picking up three or four different types that all looked fun. The second issue was solved by simply picking up frozen pie crusts. I'll deal with making pie dough from scratch another day and in the meantime, this worked perfectly by letting it thaw, removing it from the tin, cutting out the circle I needed for the mould and pressing it in. In fact, if you don't want to deal with either specific dishes or a dough, you could just pour your quiche into the pie dough in its tin as it is and call it done. But where's the fun in that? Cute little individual dishes are part of the joy of these mini quiches.
When I took the first bite of one of the quiches hot out of the oven, I was floored. I cooked the onions extra slowly -- for about 30 minutes -- so they caramelized and were incredibly sweet, a perfect counter to the salty feta for a boosted the flavor. The richness of it was surprising and after just a couple bites I was full. I gave an extra quiche to a friend who stopped by, who emailed me shorty after getting home with a photo of a plate with only crumbs remaining and the note, "Not even 3 minutes." I guess this quiche is a roaring success!
More on The Cooking Project.
Kelly's Recipe:
My mother-in-law is 92 and still lives alone and still cooks dinner for her family on Friday nights. Like my own mother (a relative child at the age of 81), she doesn't really get the whole vegetarian diet idea. My son has been a vegetarian for about six years, and after many dinners of a single grilled portobello mushroom on his plate, I took pity on him and started taking a dinner along for him. He's a terrific cook and he'd do it for himself, but he's usually on his way from work.Usually I make a tofu or legume dish that I can quickly reheat just before the rest of dinner is served, but tonight I did something entirely different. I looked around the refrigerator and realized I had just enough stuff to make a couple of mini quiches for him. I had a bit of pastry in the refrigerator left over from a pie I made earlier in the week and one egg and some wonderful feta cheese and it worked out magnificently. I baked these in two brioche moulds, which held this recipe exactly, but you could easily put the pastry into muffin tins and you would probably get four or maybe six mini quiche that would be more of an appetizer size than a full portion.
You can find a basic pie crust recipe here, but it will make much more than you need, unless you increase the recipe and make a whole quiche. You can always bake another pie, or make some fruit turnovers with what is left. You can freeze the dough if you like and make a pie at a later date. You could always use some frozen puff pastry as well. I didn't add any salt to this, because feta cheese is quite salty, but if you substitute another cheese, which you could easily do, you might want to add a bit of salt.
Mini Quiche with Onions, Mushrooms and Feta Cheese
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 mushrooms, finely chopped
1 egg
1/3 cup half and half cream
1 oz feta cheese
pastry to line the moulds
1. In a small skillet, melt 1/2 the butter, then add the onion. Cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes (or for caramelized onions, continue cooking on low heat for about 30 minutes). Put the onions in a bowl and set aside.
2. Reheat the skillet and add remaining butter and melt. Add the mushrooms and cook over a medium high heat until the mushrooms throw off their liquid. Reduce the heat and cook until the mushrooms have browned. Add the mushrooms to the onions in the bowl. Preheat oven to 375F.
3. Roll out pastry and cut it to fit the moulds. Line moulds or muffin tins with pastry and set aside.
4. Add the egg, cream and cheese to the bowl with the onions and mushrooms.
5. Stir and ladle into the pastry. My moulds were quite full, so I placed them on a baking sheet, which was just as well, because they did run over a bit.
6. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean when slid into the middle.
You can eat this hot, warm or at room temperature.

After getting voting off "Dancing with the Star," Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is finally getting started on plans for her big wedding day.
The pint-sized reality star took to her Instagram account on Wednesday (November 6) to pose with a bride's must-have item to planning. "Got my little notebook, starting to plan my wedding day," she captioned the pic.

It's one of the most beloved holidays of the year, and Halloween brought out some wild and crazy creativity in our favorite stars.
And while there was a surplus of sexy and scary costumes this year, GossipCenter has identified ten of the most memorable disguises.

She's received more than her fair share of criticism over the years, and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has apparently learned how to let it roll off her back.
The "Jersey Shore" starlet was targeted by Colorado Morning News radio host Steffan Tubbs on Tuesday (October 29), as he called her "f**king ugly" when he thought his microphone was muted.

Week seven of "Dancing with the Stars" gave fans another shocking elimination, as Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and her pro partner Sasha Farber had to hang up their dancing shoes.
The shocked "Jersey Shore" alum was in tears as she was asked to say a few words after the decision was announced, "I just love everyone here," she said simply.

Hitting the red carpet for their signature Halloween gig in New York City, former "Jersey Shore" starlets, Nicole Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley attended the Snooki and JWoww Halloween Event: "Night Of The Living Drag."
They're all geared up for the forthcoming Halloween holiday, and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is "off to see the Wizard!" with her darling family.
The "Jersey Shore" starlet and her fiancé posed for a family photo along with their 14-month old son Lorenzo on Thursday afternoon (October 24).
As the "official halfway point of the season" came around on Monday (October 21), fans of "Dancing with the Stars" were in for quite a few surprises!
At the start of the live episode, co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet explained that the contestants would have the option to score a few more judges' points by managing to improv dance when there was a random "Switch Up" in the music.
