These days, we often hear about Crossfit training from very popular celebrities, models and athletes. Many of the very influential and famous people we know always share how they obtain a physically fit body from engaging in this training.
With high-intensity and consistently varied functional movements, Crossfit is deemed as a training principle which instructs people of all sizes and shapes to enhance their cardiovascular fitness as well as physical wellness in a steadfast yet encouraging and accepting environment.
In addition, Crossfit pertains to the conditioning and principal strength program for a great number of tactical operations team, champion martial artists, police academies, professional and elite athletes and models and military special operations units around the globe.
This form of training delivers a kind of fitness that is especially designed in an inclusive, general and broad approach. Crossfit affirms that a person is as fit as they are competent in each of the 10 valuable and broad physical skills such as power, stamina, speed, coordination, respiratory or cardiovascular endurance, accuracy, strength, balance, agility and flexibility.
It is essential to understand that this training program is purposely designed to boost strength and conditioning by means of intensely challenging and varied forms of workouts. Before engaging in this training method, it is crucial for beginners to be reminded that each day the workout will examine a distinct part of your functional strength or conditioning and you should wear the correct cross training shoes. Bear in mind that this is not merely about specializing in a single thing but instead the principal goal is to build a kind of body that is capable of almost everything and anything. More than that, it matters to note that Crossfit is immensely varied from a commercial gym.
What should you expect during the first few weeks of Crossfit Training?
Be prepared to be challenged. In point of fact, a lot of people go into this training program with expectations that turn out to be wrong. Here, you are to execute movements which you have not heard of or unaware of and you will be exposed to new variations of challenging lifts. Moreover, you shall exert more energy than you are used to and there will be times when you may feel slightly lost.
Though it's going to be tough at the start, do not feel anxious about it. It is vital to master the mechanics and encourage yourself to try and learn new things. In so doing, you will improve instantly more than you can imagine.
Keep in mind that the best thing about Crossfit Training is that there is no rule that forces you to like it. This simply means that if you go to a class and do not like the type of workout being instructed, if you are not impressed by the Crossfit box and if you do not prefer the trainer; then, it is as simple as not going back to the training area.
Will Crossfit Training help you accomplish your fitness goals?
As always, it will depend upon what your goals really are. If you prefer to be stronger, more mobile, fitter and more athletic, then, this training program can be of great help. But, if you prefer to specialize in a specific thing, this training program may not be the kind of fitness training that can help you with what you need to achieve.
Indeed, this is especially true if you are a strength athlete or a bodybuilder. Take into consideration that this training program will not help you become huge unless you dedicate more time in enhancing your size or strength. What's certain about Crossfit is that you can actually get jacked and strong.
Just like all physical activities, this training also comes with some risks. However, if you follow directions carefully, committedly practice movements and downsizing when needed, then, you shall be all right.

Product Description
Reagan is a playboy in the ensemble surrounding queen bee Bette Davis in 1939's Dark Victory, which is by no stretch of the imagination a Reagan movie but which holds up nicely as a potent Davis weepie, in which she nails the role of a gadabout socialite struck by a serious illness. Reagan himself discovered the value of meeting a tragic fate in Knute Rockne, All-American, the 1940 biopic of Notre Dame's legendary football coach. Pat O'Brien has the title role in this boilerplate Hollywoodization, and although Reagan's part is small it is pivotal--and it would follow him for the rest of his life. He plays ill-fated Notre Dame player George Gipp, whose deathbed plea to Rockne--"Win just one for the Gipper"--became a national catchphrase. It's an efficient, cornball picture, and a fond childhood memory for anybody who encountered it at an early age.
Kings Row (1942) is consensus pick for Reagan's finest screen hour. A big, juicy, and really quite weird melodrama, the film cruises through the creepier side of small-town life, with Reagan in a very appealing groove. He plays the more rascally of the two male leads (Robert Cummings is the sensitive hero), a breezy charmer whose talent with the ladies gets him in trouble. The most lurid twist in the movie leads to Reagan's line "Where's the rest of me?" which became the title of his autobiography. An extremely entertaining movie, with director Sam Wood inestimably aided by James Wong Howe's lush cinematography and Erich Wolfgang Korngold's classic music score.
Raoul Walsh's Desperate Journey (1942) has Errol Flynn as the Aussie leader of a multinational bomber crew that crash-lands in Germany (where the Germans actually speak German) and must make its way across hostile territory to safety--a suspenseful setup that takes on an oddly joshing tone. Ronald Reagan plays a flippant US flyboy, and enjoys one of his best moments onscreen with an engaging scene of double talk.
In 1943's This Is the Army, Reagan is a GI named Johnny Jones, swept up in an all-star patriotic musical revue that serves as a marvelous showcase for a slew of Irving Berlin tunes (Berlin himself appears, singing "Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning" in World War I garb). The film is no classic, but fans of the American songbook will not be disappointed. It was a huge hit, and has the distinction of featuring a future California senator (George Murphy) and governor (you know who).
Reagan's career cooled after the Second World War, and he plays a second lead in 1949's The Hasty Heart, an adaptation of a hit play. Set in a military hospital in Burma just after the war, the story hinges on a group of patients concealing a fatal prognosis from an ailing Scotsman (Richard Todd). The creaking of the play is all too apparent, although Todd's performance is expert. Patricia Neal, still new to movies, plays the nurse in charge. Reagan gets to display his photographic memory by reeling off the books of the Old Testament by rote. The commentary track for the film has the (possibly unique) feature of having the director, Vincent Sherman, begin weeping as he's talking about it.
Storm Warning (1951) is an effective but strange hybrid: part film noir, part socially conscious picture. Ginger Rogers witnesses a Ku Klux Klan killing as she's stopping off in a small town to visit younger sis Doris Day; Day's hubby Steve Cochran is one of the killers. In one of his best roles, a laid-back Reagan plays the uncompromising local district attorney. The film has some superb noir shots in it, but the exposé of the KKK is truly tame: although the word lynching is used, there's no racial angle to the movie at all. It's more like the Klan is a crime syndicate that needs to be cleaned up. In The Winning Team Reagan plays famed baseball pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander, whose struggles with illness and alcoholism form the spine of the tepid plot. Doris Day, now top-billed, costars as Alexander's supportive wife. The movie pays proper tribute to a legendary baseball moment: Alexander's heroic performance in the 1926 World Series. It's another win for the Gipper. --Robert Horton

Dark Victory (1939)
A young socialite is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and must decide whether she'll meet her final days with dignity.Read more ›
His very first movie, in which he had only a tiny part as a radio interviewer trying to get time with a Hollywood movie star (and failing), was "Hollywood Hotel" (1937) starring Dick Powell, which movie was famous for the signature song "Hooray For Hollywood."
Reagan came to Hollywood in the middle 1930's after a short career as a radio announcer and sports broadcaster in Iowa after his graduation in 1932 from Eureka College in Illinois.
Radio was just coming into its own in the middle 1930's and was very intersting as a subject to movie audiences. People wanted to see what radio was about "behind the scenes." Many late 1930's Hollywood movies showed that, and sold a lot of tickets because of it.
Many "radio" movies were made in the late 1930's. Bob Hope's signature song title "Thanks For The Memory" was from a radio movie titled "The Big Broadcast Of 1938" and Hope himself became a Hollywood star only after he achieved radio stardom in the late 1930's.
Ronald Reagan was a former radio pro who got beginning actor work because of his radio experience. He could be useful for "radio movies," and was hired.
Hollywood film studios made many movies about the then glamourous radio business and the world of radio celebrities.
Reagan was a handsome, articulate young man who had studied dramatics in college (he majored in Sociology but participated in many school plays in lead roles), and actually had experience as a radio broadcaster.Read more ›

How to Become an Excellent Student
Five Parts:Be organizedBeing attentiveStudying in a focused wayDoing homework properlyRevising sensiblyCommunity Q&A
For the student, school can be one of the most difficult things to deal with. Learning how to study and get along with your peers will make the whole experience that much easier.
Part 1
Be organized
1Be prepared. Bring everything you need with you to class. It would be a good idea to bring books, folders, pens, pencils, homework, review sheets and anything else you need.
2Get organized. Staying organized in school is extremely important. If you are organized, then you are one step ahead in being successful. Keep a folder for each subject, that means that you put your math papers in your math folder, your Language Arts papers in your Language Arts folder, your science papers in your science folder, and so on. To make this easier, use color codes or label your folders.
Part 2
Being attentive
1Pay attention in class. When a teacher is giving a lesson, take notes and if you don't understand something, raise your hand and ask questions. The more questions you ask, the smarter you'll get, believe it or not. Taking notes will help you think and help you understand what is being taught more.
- The teachers expect you ask questions and form an impression of you from how willing you are to do so.
- Concentrate on staying focused. Keep your eyes on the teacher, keep your ears open, and take notes.
2Avoid distractions in class. Do not distract others and don't be distracted by them.
- If friends are distracting you don't be mean; just tell them you are working and say "another time".
3Review your notes when you have free time. Rewriting notes taken in class is helpful if taking exceptionally hard classes, such as legal studies, economics, engineering, etc.
4Take some time to write some problems up, or you could ask someone to write them for you. Just remember, it doesn't hurt to go over what you have learned.
Part 3
Studying in a focused way
1Start to read a little more. If you are not already a reader, start at your level and work your way up. You may not know this, but by reading challenging and difficult books, you can expand your vocabulary.
2Create mind maps. Use of mind maps can be helpful for understanding hard topics.
- A mind map can help with revising before any exam or test.
3Study in a constructive way. Study is one of the key factors at any level of an education. Spending 2 hours a day studying increases your grades. These two hours however, have to be constructive study. Remove all distractions; this will include mobile phones, television, loud/fast-paced music and talkative friends and family members as to ensure a calm collective environment.
4Don't put off work for later. Make a daily routine for yourself, it really works. Keep all of your electronics such as your phone, iPod and laptop away from you as these cause distraction. When you come home from school, read through what the teacher had taught in class that day and practice a few math problems to be right on top.
5Take short breaks while studying. For example: one 15 minute break every 2 hours. Don't lose your cool if you're stuck. Just take a break, then refocus on your work and you'll succeed.
6Find out which chapter your teacher is covering tomorrow and read it before going to class. That way you become familiar with what he/she will be teaching and will be able to target areas that you do not understand so well. Highlight the explanations of difficult concepts and ask questions when you have doubts.
7Go the extra yard. Attempt extra credit problems and assignments. Even if you are getting a 98% in a class, you can improve your grade and understand the material better.
- When you are finished with your work, ask your teacher if you can do extra work.
- Look in next year's subject book and try to figure out those problems. This will help your thinking skills and give you an advantage during the next school year. Don't skip ahead so far though that you fail to cover the fundamentals. The fundamentals are always essential for deep learning ability.
Part 4
Doing homework properly
1Do your homework. Teachers give you homework for a reason. It is to review what you have learned that day. Take advantage of your free time. Do your homework on the way home from school and in any spare time. Unless you have a kind of school that gives you homework for reasonability and not to review. But most schools have it to review. Do as much at school as you can; you have the teacher there in case you need help. Make sure not to rush on your homework, to check over it, and to be neat. If you really want to be a successful student, you should know right from the beginning when you want to be great at anything, and when you have to put up with things that just don't seem fair. Doing your homework is not a big deal. Remember, homework can also help you develop good habits and attitudes. Always do what is asked of you.
Part 5
Revising sensibly
1Study. It is advised to start studying at least a few days before a test. Make a study schedule. If an extracurricular activity gets in the way of your studying, tell the person in charge of that certain event that you will not be able to attend that event, or you will have to leave early. However, there will be certain situations where you will have to attend. In this kind of situation, you will just have to study another day. This is where your study schedule comes in. Write out a schedule of the week of your test and find your free time. Always remember, use your time wisely. Study as if you are motivated for the outcome of your hard work.
2Ask a parent or older sibling to look over your notes and create a mini-test for you three days prior to your test. Study before the night of your test.
Community Q&A
I'm always a little nervous when I answer my teacher's questions. How do I overcome this?wikiHow ContributorTake a deep breath; it can sounds simple, but try it because you've probably been holding your breath in anticipation and this can cause you to feel even more anxious. Then if you know the answers or you think you know, be confident and just answer. You've nothing to lose and everything to learn, for every wrong answer is a learned answer you'll never forget.
How do I handle friends teasing me for being smart?wikiHow ContributorJust ignore what they say about you being "over-smart". They say this to keep you off track, out of jealousy and a desire to be smart too but since they clearly cannot be bothered applying themselves, they're not bothering to improve their brainpower, so that's their choice. Don't get distracted by such sayings, but continue to work hard. You can also suggest they might like to party less and study more.
Can I tell my teacher when I'm behind with something, so that she can give me extra work to help me to catch up?wikiHow ContributorYes, of course. This is actually the best way to improve if you are behind. The teachers are here to help so don't mind asking them.
Can a negative attitude affect your studies?wikiHow ContributorIt certainly can. It is important to have a positive attitude toward studies, so that you can feel capable. This also helps you to realize that studies can be a way out of negativity because learning opens up your understanding and frees you to think for yourself and understand the world better.
How can I improve my math skills?wikiHow ContributorSeek help from your lecturers/tutors/educators. For questions that you are stuck at, it is helpful to consult them to get a good explanation. This will be helpful as it will help you to understand the problem better. Know where is your weakness. For instance, you may be bad at algebra. After assessing your area of weakness, do past-year papers and topical assessment books. Those will allow you to practice applying the formulas or concepts. See further How to Improve Math Skills and How to Improve Your Math Grade for more help.
How can I keep the learned information fresh in my mind?wikiHow ContributorWhen you come back home after school, go over the things taught in school. I.e. write the notes in a separate notebook. Note down anything you are unsure of to ask your teacher. Allow some time to study and some time to play.
What should you do if your teacher won't let you take notes?wikiHow ContributorAsk your teacher why it's not okay to take notes, especially since this is a standard learning technique. It's important to understand the teacher's reasoning first. If there is a good reason, then just check the chapter/lesson the teacher taught in class. Go home, and read the lesson from your textbook and also read what will be taught the next day. It is also helpful to write down what you do remember from class as your own notes, that very same day.
How can I strike a balance between studies and co-curricular activities?wikiHow ContributorSet aside an hour or two a night to study your subjects and the rest can be for co-corricular activities. (Unless you have a test the next day, then study a little longer.) On the weekends, study more.
I work hard but usually I come second in class. How can I improve?wikiHow ContributorTurn beating that other person into your goal, while remembering that they probably have the goal of staying on top. At the end of the day though, the fact you are second is brilliant and there is a point at which you have to remind yourself that you're learning for the sake of learning, not to become some competitive cog in a big wheel.
How can I be good in both my studies and sports?wikiHow ContributorApply the same methods to become better at both. Work hard, find mentors and mimic them, devote time to both pursuits and set goals that will challenge you and motivate you to work harder.
How can I avoid distractions like TV and electronics?wikiHow ContributorMake a routine of your own. In this routine keep at least 30 minutes to one hour aside for TV, electronics, etc. usage. Studying for the whole day might result in severe distractions, so keep gaps according to the mentioned times. See further: How to Avoid Distractions While Studying.
How can I focus in a noisy environment?wikiHow ContributorWear earphones that are noise canceling. If you can't afford those, learn to zone into your studies and zone out of what is going on around you. If there are also visual distractions, block those so that your senses are not overwhelmed. Better options include asking others to be quieter while you study, finding a quieter place to study in the house or even the library and getting a dedicated study space that everyone understands must not be disturbed. If the noises cannot be fixed, such as outside roadworks, try using white noise or instrumental music to compete with the irritating noises.
How many hours do I need to study a day?wikiHow ContributorIt's not about how many hours you sit and study, but about how productively you do it. Study until you are comfortable with the material. This can take as little as 30 minutes to as long as 2 hours or more. When studying, be sure to take regular breaks. This will help refresh your mind, and make it easier for you to absorb new information.
How to get in the mood for studying? I just don't feel motivated.wikiHow ContributorOrganize all your materials. Write down a motivational "speech," then read it with conviction while nodding your head and smiling. Allow time for breaks in between studying. Give yourself something to look forward to when you're done.
What do I do if I have no time to study?wikiHow ContributorYou have to learn to prioritize your tasks to be able to find time to study. You may have to reduce the time you spend on your hobbies and social life. If you have extracurricular activities that can't be cut out (such as a part-time job to pay tuition fees), then you can always study during your breaks
Sometimes a schedule gets disturbed. What should I do when that happens?wikiHow ContributorYou can recover the missing schedule the next day or invest more time in studies to recover that part. It is important to be flexible, as interruptions will occur at any stage in life and the sooner you learn to recover, the easier life will be for you.
How can I get a higher GPA?wikiHow ContributorYou might find it helpful to read: How to Improve Your GPA.
Can I still become an excellent student if I am a procrastinator?wikiHow ContributorIt is possible to but you need to prioritize your work and not just let it pile up and rush through it some other day. Procrastination is a bad habit and should not be practiced on a regular basis. Taking time off to loosen up a bit is fine but not leaving your work totally and ignoring it. Find the means to rid yourself of procrastination.
If I have missed a class, how should I catch up?wikiHow ContributorAsk your classmates or teacher about what you have missed. If you know that you will be missing class in advance, you can ask a classmate you trust to take notes for you.
What time should you study till?wikiHow ContributorStudy until 9 PM with full concentration. In between, take a break of two to three minutes to calm your brain.
How can I get over my embarrassment of asking my teacher questions?wikiHow ContributorRemember that answering your questions is a part of their job as teachers. Never fear them. They will kindly answer your questions because they know that when a student is asking questions he is trying to better understand what the teacher is teaching.
I'm in junior high and I can't concentrate to study hard for my exams. I am addicted to Clash of Clans. I am also dreaming about a girl I'd like to date.wikiHow ContributorYou're young, so being distracted is understandable. However, your game addiction needs to be addressed as playing games won't help you in the future. Draw up a study schedule that includes study time and a little allowed time for playing but be very strict about keeping to that allotted time. If you can't, then take a break from the game play - it'll feel bad but it'll get easier. As for the girl, consider asking her out as a goal for after your exams, something to look forward to!
How can I manage study time at home?wikiHow ContributorMake a timetable for yourself at home. In that timetable, place abut two and a half hours of study time, leaving the remainder free. That way, you get to study and also have fun! You might find it helpful to read How to Create a Study Schedule for more details.
Whenever I speak to a person in authority such as my teacher, my face always goes red after I finish speaking. Why does that happen?wikiHow ContributorIt may be because you're not confident and need conformation of your answer and the fear of saying the wrong thing. The best way to get of this is to be confident in your answer, and don't stress if you say a wrong answer because there is nothing wrong in saying a wrong answer. In fact you learn from your mistakes.
How can I study during vacation time? I don't want to!wikiHow ContributorA good trick is to do it the weekend or days after school finishes, so that you get it out of the way early and can enjoy the rest of the vacation study-free. Leaving it until the last weekend will only have the work worrying you the entire vacation. Plan well so that you know what needs doing and about how much time you'll need for doing it. It might also help to connect with friends who have the same study requirements, to form a study pair or group, which can make it more fun.
What if I ask a question, or say a statement, and my teacher says that question was dumb?wikiHow ContributorStop, pause and look at the teacher in the eyes. Say very clearly, "Why is it a dumb question? I really don't know and I am confused." It is hard to refuse to answer a sincere plea.
Why do I need to pay attention?wikiHow ContributorYou need to pay attention so you will absorb what you're being taught. If you're not paying attention, the teacher will probably think you don't care.
Can extracurricular activities help me be an excellent student?wikiHow ContributorYes it can help you learn other things, but don't get so involved that you pay less attention to your studies.
How can I overcome the fact that since I am unable to concentrate, my teachers, friends and relatives look poorly on me?wikiHow ContributorIt is never too late to change. Talk to those in your life and find out what you do that puts them off, and find ways to change these things. Get help from a counselor, and work towards improving yourself. Find strategies to improve your focus and concentration.
Can music help me to concentrate while studying?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on what kind of music you're listening to. Try to stick to classical and/or instrumental music. Music with words, heavy beats or meant to be played loud can be highly distracting and won't help you to concentrate at all.
How can I be a good school friend? I am sometimes a bit mean to my friends.wikiHow ContributorTry to understand your friends by letting them tell you how they feel. Listen to them if they have any problems, and share your problems and feelings with them to help build a stronger relationship.
How can I keep my mind focused on the class I am in?wikiHow ContributorDon't daydream in class. If you can't resist, then ask your teach if you can go to the bathroom, and splash a little water on your face, get a drink of water and go back to class.
|Study tips and how to be a good student.
- Don't be afraid or feel stupid to ask clarity questions or try to explain the topic to the teacher if it helps.
- Do work on time.
- Use good handwriting, so that the teachers understand what you're saying.
- Have a notebook for writing down important things, like test dates, presentations, and assignments. It feels really good to write down your accomplishments and check off that box, even if it is just for yourself. Then you can read over it later and think: "Look at that, I did that?"
- Do well in school, meaning stay focused, educated, and on top of your work. Stay out of trouble. Be a good kid and stay away from 'in' crowds and learn to be more mature. Be the bigger person and a nice person who is respectful and has a positive attitude.
- Neat writing always helps on tests or in general so it's easy for the teacher to see what you have written.
- Sleep an adequate amount each night. You know your own body's needs, so conform to that and keep healthy and alert.
- Give yourself a lot of confidence and ask for help from your parents to learn much more about math, history, science and vocabulary.
- Find out your learning style (ex. visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) and look online to find out about study habits that match your learning style. You'll be surprised at how much easier it is! But be sure to answer the quiz questions truthfully.
- Never let your parents put too much pressure on you. Tell parents who are pressuring you too much to give you space to let you breathe. Make it clear that you can't handle too much stress. After you tell them, give them a nice hug.
- Always revise for tests and make sure you get enough sleep.
- If you can play an instrument, sing, or have any musical skills, try to play a little every day. Not only will it improve your skill and ability, but it will allow you to focus on homework, schoolwork, essays, etc.
- Be sincere to your teachers, make a schedule, organize your time, and do your homework.
- Help around the classroom. Your teacher and class mates will think highly of you. Be bright and always tell the truth.
- Get involved. Play sports. Join clubs. Do the play. The busier you are the better grades you'll get. The more used to being busy and managing your time you are, the easier it gets and seems. Just make sure you do not overload your schedule, especially if you need extra study time.
- Go outside more... science proves that it reduces stress. In fact, do whatever relaxes you, if reading a book is your thing go ahead or if you'd like to rank up in Call of Duty don't stop yourself.
- Try to teach your classmates if they don't understand the chapter or subject. It will help you to remember better.
- Live a balanced life. Your academic work is of high importance, but there must also be room for your social life and other priorities. If you become a workaholic, you will not be a successful student.
- You tend to forget much of the information learned in the last ten minutes before falling asleep.[citation needed] Do something else before you go right to bed after studying.
- A binder can help you to stay organized. The best way to organize is to have a binder for each class you are taking.
- Ask for a tutor if you consider this will be of help.
- If you have free time in the morning before school, study.
- When you are in college and high school, your grades depend on your tests. Make sure you do a great job!! If you are in the lower grades, you should still study hard and get at least A's on your tests.
- Make flash cards, as they can be very helpful.
- Different people concentrate better at different times of the day. Try to find the time you concentrate better, even if it means having occasional breaks to refresh your memory.
- You should always remember to stay focused, and to study hard.
- Find a way of revising that suits you.
- Having nice and clear handwriting is a great quality as it makes it easier for you to reread what you have written and so helps you learn your lessons. It also makes it easier for teachers to understand your work and so avoid any misunderstandings which could affect your grade. Giving in clear and neat work can add you extra points, or avoid having any taken away for messiness. Also don't forget to work regularly and thoroughly!
- Make a timetable to organize yourself.
- Stay on top of your grades. If your school has online grades, then check them every other day. That way you aren't surprised when you get your progress report, and will know: 1) when you forgot to turn something in, 2) need to work on something, 3) if a teacher entered a grade incorrectly.
- Above all, don't cheat. Cheating doesn't teach you anything at all. Plus, if you get caught, you will get into serious trouble. It's not worth it!
- Don't freak out if you get a bad grade on a paper. Everyone gets bad grades once in a while; even the high level students don't achieve good marks for everything. It's not the end of the world. Just try harder next time.

I didn't actaully buy a pool table, or get any pool table service from them. I call them and whoever answer the phone was the most helpful person ever. I bought a used table off Craigslist and some how was able to dismantle it and bring it back to my house. I was stuck on how to reassemble it back together. I call around to a few billiard pool table stores to see if they can help me. All of them pretty much quoted me a price for them to come out here to assemble it for me. When I called Billiard Wholesale, the guy on the phone was very helpful. I told my situation and he spent a good 20 mins on the phone explaining in detail to me oh how to assemble the pool table. He even told me to call back if I had any other questions or if I get stuck. I did get stuck and when I called back, he laughed and was very kind and explain to me again of what I did wrong, and how to fix it. Overall this was the best customer service I ever got from anywhere. And I didn't even buy anything from them or even go into their store. I think they deserve a positive review for their great customer service. Even though I guess you wouldn't consider me a customer technically. But in the future if I ever need any pool table accessories, I would definately shop here.

I recently bought a pool table from Billiard Wholesale in San Jose and I thought I got a great price. I placed the order over the phone and did not go into the store to look at the pool tables first. I was very suprise at the quality of the pool tables. My ex-husband has a very expensive Brunswick pool table, and I jgot to say the quality if pretty much the same as this Brunswick pool table. Of coarse I paid only about a quater of the price. They were also very accomadating of the delivering schedule. I have a very busy schedule and only had Sundays open for delivery. They normally only delivery Monday through Saturday. They made an exception for me and did my delivery on a Sunday for me :-) The delivery crew was very professional, friendly and courteous.
Pretty nice place and their showroom is very clean. The guy was nice and offered excellent information. The tables are beautiful and the install was well done as well. I've looked around and this is the best quality with the best price in the Bay area that I found. Recommending to my friends and family when they ask about my table.

The Geological Society of Minnesota is a public-spirited, nonprofit educational organization that has been in operation since 1938. Our ongoing mission has been to promote public interest and supply educational support in the geological sciences. We do this by sponsoring free lectures and labs at the University of Minnesota, conducting statewide and regional field trips, holding classroom presentations for schools, maintaining a media library, publishing relevant information for public distribution, and maintaining and expanding upon a series of geological markers located throughout the state.
GSM's exciting, illustrated Seminars are presented by leading professionals in their fields of Geology or Earth Science. These engaging talks are free and open to the public, and are especially valuable for enthusiastic learners from secondary school students to adults. A question and answer opportunity is always included. Where else can you enjoy an intriguing exchange with a leading scientist or educator? Our novice-friendly labs demonstrate at a comfortable pace the ideas and principles of geology and earth science. They allow an involved, hands-on learning experience for beginners, or a helpful refresher for the seasoned enthusiast. These instructive sessions are also free and open to the public. Where else can you actively practice science, under expert guidance, for free?
The seminars are on Mondays at 7:00 PM on the University of Minnesota campus, except where noted otherwise.
Next Seminar: Monday, Sept 12, 2016 7:00 PMThe Wondrous World of Carbonate SandsKate Clover M.Sc, Science Museum of MinnesotaFall Banquet, Annual Meeting, and LectureLocation: U Garden Restaurant, 2725 University Ave. SE, MinneapolisDinner 5:00-7:00 PM; Annual Meeting 7:00; Lecture follows ~7:15, map on web site.
We've all walked along a beach and seen sand and likely picked up shells, sponges, corals and beach glass, and maybe we've noticed that sand is different from beach to beach and varies in color, texture and content. Sand may seem pretty mundane, but when viewed under the microscope, it can be beautiful; and each sand tells the story of the regional geology or the nearby marine ecosystem.
In this lecture, we'll learn about the carbonate skeletons found in marine sands, gastropods and bivalves, barnacles, corals and more. We'll take a virtual trip to Playa Cazon, Halbinsel Samana, in the Dominican Republic to examine the remarkable diversity of biogenic bits found in this beach sand. We'll view stunning photographs of gastropods and bivalves, sea urchin spines and their tests, plus halimeda, forams and more. And from the contents of the sand, we'll consider the health of this bay, the marine food chain, the prospects for fishing or snorkeling.
Kate Clover brings in more than 30 years of experience in collecting and studying sands and is the co-author of the recent book, Secrets of Sand. She is a program manager, geo-science educator and sand curator at the Science Museum of Minnesota. She serves on the board of the Geological Society of Minnesota and is a longtime member of the International Sand Collector's Society. She hold a BS in geology from Michigan Technological University and a MS in Education from the University of Wisconsin River Falls.
Summer Fun Activities
Visit our Road Marker web site GSM Road Markers where we have create a geologic summer vacation game called Marker Treasure Hunt visit the site for more details.
Field Trips
During the months of May through October, GSM conducts a series of professionally-guided, statewide and regional field trips. These are one to three day excursions made to points of geologic interest not usually experienced by the casual traveler. They afford a very memorable and satisfying learning experience as there are always plenty of hands-on and question-answering opportunities. A camaraderie with enthusiastic learners and people curious about their natural environment is always a reward in itself. There is a small charge for any shared expense, and a liability waiver must be signed for each participant.
Destination: Hill Annex Mine State Park
Date: Saturday, July 23, 2016
Leaders: John Westgaard and Doug Hanks
To participate: E-mail GSM Field Trip Coordinator Dave Wilhelm (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you think you might be interested in this trip. You will be placed on an e-mail list to receive further information on this trip as it develops.
Note: This trip is still being planned, with the intent to expand it into a 2 or 3 day trip to include other suitable attractions in the area. The description below covers just the Saturday activities. As plans progress, this description will be updated. If you wish, you'll be able to participate in just the subset of the field trip that works for you.
GSM member and Science Museum of Minnesota Volunteer Project Lead John Westgaard and his research partner, Doug Hanks, have been working on Cretaceous Materials on the Mesabi Iron Range the last two summers. They've been based mainly out of the Hill Annex Mine State Park, in Calumet, MN. They will share their current research in the area: Hill Annex Mine Paleontology Project. The tour of the mine site and their presentation will take a half-day or more. There is also a historical bus tour the park offers on weekends that lasts about 90 min. We may also spend time at the Park Clubhouse/Museum.
Note: The distance from St. Paul to Hill Annex Mine State Park is around 190 miles (3+ hours).
Speakers for metro area elementary schools are available through the Public Service Committee to help enrich the education of young learners, particularly the 2nd to 4th grade levels.
Membership in the society is open to anyone with an interest in geology. The benefits of membership include:

The was one fine animation!!
Great job!
The 1st I saw was pac-man. It was good! But every good thing COULD come to an end. Try keeping it down to 4-6 daily and collaborate! Pizzaday, not too funny. Today, not a thing. It was the same throughout most of the clips. Remember! It's not always how fast you can get something out, (especially in a daily cartoon that only shows that you can't be consistently original throughout your contributors) it's that you don't rush your 1st idea. I've had my ass bit so many times because I don't take a sec and try and re-think and look from all sides for a solution. (if you haven't heard of this, you will) you will.
Maybe even break it down to a sprite every other day before you get in over your heads. Unless you're going for a marathon to see how long it lasts. That'd be lame. Too many things go on way too long that end up being a waste of time.
Grain of salt. Make it into a slat mine.
The only one that made me laugh was xsoch *or something). Didn't really see where the humor went sorry =\
The mudkip part made my night xDDDDD
A good random series
This series of sprite collab animations is fairly good, but, I can see that there are a few animations which dont seem to fit into the rest. I also noticed a bad transition on Fede1920s cut between the Alex and chrono part and the Beavis and Butthead part. Its not big, but its there. Keep it up guys.

June 2016 | Summer Activities!
June 2016 | Kata in the park!
A great way to enjoy the summer and get ready for kendo grading is "Kata in the park". Shidokan members gather every Saturday morning to practice kata and later go for refreshments.
Thanks to Santoso Sensei and all the sempai(s) for their dedication
May 01 2016 | Quebec Regional Kendo Championships, Granby.
Congratulations to the following kendoka:
Nidan-Sandan category
- 1st place: Benjamin Vial
- 2nd Place: Tong Dinh
- 3rd Place: Gabriel Schor
Yondan and up category
- 3rd place: Michael Kim
- 1st Place: Shidokan Team A
Great work everyone, you've made Shidokan very proud. As always, thank you to Santoso Sensei for all of your continued patience and guidance. Now, back to work!
April | Spring Activities
2 April 2016 | Tsuji Sensei Visit
On the first weekend of April, we received a special visit from Lawrence Tsuji Sensei. Once a student at Shidokan alongside Santoso Sensei under our founder, Funamoto Sensei, Tsuji Sensei now trains at Markham Kendo Club in Toronto.
We were reminded that each practice is as intense and difficult as we choose to make it, and that it is important to approach everything we do in Kendo with a strong and focused mindset. Even practising the basics should have our full effort and attention. With that in mind, the majority of practice focused on footwork and other kihon drills, then ended with some time for keiko.
Thank you Tsuji Sensei for taking the time to visit and train with us, as both your presence and advice are always welcome and appreciated. We hope to see you again soon!
March 2016 | Gearing up
Shidokan has been preparing for the upcoming tournaments, both in kendo & iaido under the watchful of Santoso Sensei.
Always with diligence & comradery, training together to strengthen our technique as well as our friendship.
12-13 March 2016 | University of Toronto Taikai and Etobicoke Visit
A small contingent of Shidokan travelled to Toronto for the annual UofT Kendo Taikai. The tournament took place on the Saturday and Kendoka from dojos all over Ontario, Quebec, and even a few from the United States were in attendance. We had participants in all the individual categories and for some it was also their first time participating in the team matches. We hope to learn from both our victories and defeats, and look forward to the next taikai. Thank you to the University of Toronto club for all their efforts in hosting this event!
On Sunday, some of our contingent took advantage of the trip to visit Cruise Sensei at the Etobicoke dojo before heading back to Montreal. We spent the morning practising Iaido, getting a lot of advice for both Seitei Iai and for our shared Koryu, Muso Shinden Ryu. It was a good opportunity to help us in our preparation for the upcoming Canadian National Iaido Championships which will be held in Montreal later this year. Thank you Cruise Sensei for all of your help and advice, and we hope to get the opportunity to practice with you again soon.
Now, back to work!
Feb 2016 | 18th Annual Detroit Open Kendo Tournament

Clinton Welcomes Myanmar's Suu Kyi at Start of U.S. Visit
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomed Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi to the State Department at the start of a U.S. visit.
In a brief appearance before reporters, the two women talked about refugee resettlement. Suu Kyi, who last visited the U.S. in the late 1980s, said she learned about developments in America by "listening to the news in Burma," the country's original name that is still used by opposition members and the U.S. administration.
"It's a place that is eagerly awaiting your welcome because there's so much excitement and enthusiasm about the fact that you could actually come," Clinton said. The two first met when Clinton traveled to Myanmar in late November.
Suu Kyi, a former dissident and political prisoner, is in Washington to receive a congressional medal of honor, and meet with officials and activists. Lawmakers awarded her the medal, Congress' highest civilian honor, in absentia in 2008 while she was under house arrest.

So far, I have found the form factor to be unnecessarily small given the tradeoff is battery life and auto-focus. I have no problems with the sleek appeal of the device, and it is nice, but sometimes it can feel excessively miniaturized for my fingers. That said, a bulkier device would have been more welcome in my books if it meant a better economical device. The material and build quality is of sturdy plastics and has nothing to point out. For the price, I am satisfied.
The battery life on this device is something to debate about before purchasing. The 1000mAh battery is small enough that charging to full takes just one hour but weak enough to cripple the device with games or continuous lengthy phone calls. So far as long as there is no open data connection, if the phone updates data and GPS every 15 minutes and uses push, normal app usage throughout day out of holster with a few reasonable length phone calls each day, the phone will last you over 24 hours based on my usage of a full charge. With OS 7.1 the battery saver starts after 30% and clears the memory on holster which did improve the battery life tremendously. OS 7.0 yielded about 13-26 hours to empty while OS 7.1 yielded 28-32 hours to empty depending on usage. Take an average 4.2%/hr decent usage drain and up to 9%/hr heavy usage drain (when the battery burns your hand).Read more ›
But, aside from all these things are my four main gripes. Firstly is the app store. There are absolutely no useful apps on this and it is instead filled with useless, expensive knock-off mini games and things of the sort. Secondly is the OS. It is very slow and inconvenient. The OS tends to have random freeze-ups and is overall very difficult to work with. Finally, and this is probably the worst thing with this phone, is the BROWSER. The Blackberry is intended as a business phone, and in this day and age, access to the internet and ease of use are very necessary. But, the browser on this phone manages to freeze up constantly, have what is probably the worst GUI of any phone to exist, and have glitches occur whenever possible. I could go on about the specific glitches, but that list would drag on and on. And, to top all of this up is my fourth issue with this, there is no goddamn way to restart the phone without removing the battery.Read more ›

My only complaint is the included box isn't very helpful. Its plastic liner molded to fit the knives isn't very practical to store them. I keep them on a magnetic knife strip. The only benefit I can think of for the box is easy gift giving, otherwise don't concider it in the value of the set because you will most likely throw it away.
The knives are heavy, which I like, and sturdy. They feel good in your hand and they look very nice with my silverware, which is stainless steel with a matte finish. I think they will compliment any type of stainless flatware, though.
They are really sharp and cut amazingly well. (I've had other Chicago Cutlery sets which weren't as sharp, or nice, as these.) The only thing I was disappointed about was that I didn't know they were serrated... but that's okay because they're nice knives.
I don't wash my knives, any of them, in the dishwasher, so I can't say how well they will hold up if that's how they are frequently washed, but I've had them for a few weeks and they've held up very nicely after being handwashed several times; there's been no rust or anything.
For everyday steak knives they are perfect. I don't know how they will hold up over time since I've only had them about four weeks.
The description says the handles are dual-material stainless steel and polymer but the handles on the ones I received appear to be all stainless steel which is better for me since that's what I was looking for.
Original review - We just picked up this set of Chicago Cutlery after our Cuisinart set started to show some age. Right out of the box, the knives are very sleek and pleasing to the eye. They also feel good in your hand. As for performance, they've quickly sliced through whatever we've put in front of them.
Thus far, they've held up well after quite a few washes. One thing I'm always concerned about with knives like this is the potential for rust, but thus far it's been fine. I'd recommend this set.

- Article
- References
- Cited By
This article examines how greater role clarification may be associated with increased work satisfaction and decreased turnover rates in workgroups. These linkages are examined with the use of multivariate analysis of variance and hierarchical regression analysis for data collected during two time periods from multiple sources: personnel records and an organizational survey of 1,699 employees working in 45 geographically distributed offices in a state government agency. Results indicate that offices with a high level of role clarification had significantly higher levels of work satisfaction and lower rates of turnover. Additionally, the effects of role clarification on work satisfaction and turnover behavior were mediated by overall role clarity perceived in these offices. The implications of these findings for effective management of workgroups in government agencies are discussed.

Italian scientists have genetically engineered mice to live up to 35 percent longer than normal. It's an experiment that offers the strongest evidence yet that aging in mammals is controlled by a genetic switch.
The researchers at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan deleted a gene in the mice that makes them vulnerable to cell damage caused by oxygen.
Equally important, the mice suffered no apparent side effects.
Adding a few months to a mouse's short life may not seem like much, but if the numbers prove to be directly translatable into people years, it is the equivalent of adding a quarter century to the average human lifespan.
Other scientists called the study a major step forward in understanding the aging process. The study was published in the journal Nature.
"They hit a milestone in aging research with this study -- they've found a genetic intervention in mice that make them live longer without any side effects," said Leonard Guarente of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Genetic control of longevity had already been confirmed in worms and flies, but not in mammals, which have their own aging process.
"We now know for sure that longevity is genetically controlled," said the study's author, Pier Giuseppe Pelicci. Researchers bred the mice without a gene that produces protein vulnerable to cell damage from oxidation.
The findings could mark a departure from one of the basic rules of biology -- namely, that if you tinker with a gene or other factor in an animal to add some kind of benefit, it usually comes at a cost somewhere else.
For example, scientists can increase mouse longevity by about 30 percent by tightly restricting diet and slowing down the metabolism, but it comes at a cost of decreased fertility and size.
The Italian researchers could find no other problems with the mutant mice, though Pelicci admitted that the gene's entire function is unknown, so problems could still arise.
The researchers are now investigating the possibility of blocking the age-controlling protein chemically, which could lead to the development of life-extending drugs.
But Pelicci warned: "How many times have we found something in mice that was not the case in humans?"
Oxidation has been suspected in aging since 1956, when it was first proposed that free radicals -- unstable molecules with an unpaired electron -- attack cells. Oxidative damage has been implicated in forms of cancer and in heart disease.
Joe McCord of the Webb-Waring Institute for Biomedical Research at the University of Colorado, who in 1969 helped prove that oxidation was involved in cell damage, called the Italian study "fascinating and very significant," but noted that oxidation also regulates beneficial cellular functions as well as destructive ones.
"The balance that works best in the laboratory may not be the best balance if the animal is dealing with wound healing and infections and othekinds of stress," he said.

On the Road to Rio de Janeiro
On a side street in a charming small house in the Jardim Botanico neighborhood, the food is perhaps the city's best example of a mixture of French basics and Brazilian innovation. It's very well thought of locally, with reservations essential.
Facing the swimming pool at Rio's most famed hotel, across the boulevard from the sands of the Belmond Copacabana and seating just 60, this is the loveliest dining room in town, not to mention the exceptionally comfortable adjoining bar area. It's another spot where reservations are a must. Shining with fish and pastas, Italy not surprisingly is master here, dominating dishes such as the gnocchi alla romana with lobster and shellfish sauce.
There's just nothing for carnivores exactly like eating meat in Rio at a churrascaria rodizio style, and this is the best. Hot, sizzling grilled meats come off the coals and are served on skewers at the tables, and they keep coming 'til you drop, or at least give a negative shake of the head. In this large, open room floored with tiles and trimmed with woods, the chicken, sausages, filet mignon and pork loin are truly a festival for the palate. There's also the classic Brazilian caipirinha drinks mixed at the tableside, and a superb salad bar. Weekend afternoons may be the best time for this spectacle.
On a narrow street in the middle-class Botafogo neighborhood, this is a real taste of a typical Brazilian menu. Nearly every dish comes with black beans and rice, none better than the peixe a Brasileira, a whole fish in a tomato sauce with traditional piron made from manioc. The kitchen is especially good for carne seca a Paulista, meat with kale, sausage and a fried egg. It's a fine spot to rub elbows with students and local residents while quaffing a cold draft beer. Forget reservations.
It's elegant and subdued and, even though there is a restaurant upstairs, the bar is the thing. On a residential street in the upscale Leblon neighborhood, this has long been a haunt for the Leblon and Ipanema sophisticate. The small bar and rich wood and leather lounge area lend themselves to the most gracious of Brazilian service. Drinks here are typically Rio, meaning a minimum of two ounces, and the presunto and cheese on the back bar are perfect to hold you off until a late-night Brazilian dinner.

What a Melo paycut would mean for Knicks
By Ian Begley
Carmelo Anthony
is willing to take a pay cut to stay with the
. Here's a quick look at what that means for the franchise, and for Anthony.
Won't help in 2014
: No matter how much money Anthony leaves on the table, the Knicks will likely be over the cap in 2014.
If both
Amar'e Stoudemire
Andrea Bargnani
remain on the roster (as expected), the Knicks' payroll would be over the projected salary-cap line of $62.9 million, even without Carmelo, as Justin Page from ESPN Stats & Info notes
in a great breakdown of the implications of Anthony's free agency.
So if Anthony agrees to take less money to re-sign with the Knicks this summer, it will save owner James Dolan money on his luxury-tax bill only. The only way that will change is if Knicks president/GM Steve Mills swings a major trade to send Stoudemire, Bargnani or
Tyson Chandler
to another city.
Looms large for 2015
: Anthony's pay cut would have a greater impact in the summer of 2015. That summer, the Knicks are expected to be heavy players in free agency because the current deals for Bargnani, Stoudemire and Chandler come off the books.
If Anthony signs a max deal, his salary in the 2015-16 season will be $24,142,789, and the Knicks would have five players under contract at a total salary of $39,492,533. They'd also have a first-round pick.
This assumes that both
J.R. Smith
Raymond Felton
pick up their respective player options for 2015-16. It also assumes that the Knicks offer
Iman Shumpert
a qualifying offer, he accepts and the Knicks don't pick up the team option on
Pablo Prigioni
's contract.
If that's the case, then Anthony's pay cut would pay dividends in that summer. It would give the Knicks more flexibility to pursue max free agents such as
Kevin Love
Rajon Rondo
and should leave them with room to add other players on the market.
No sure thing that he re-signs
: Anthony said that his "first priority" is to re-sign with the Knicks this summer, but he also made it clear he needs the Knicks to produce a clear plan that will lead to a title. He's said several times that winning an NBA championship is his top priority.
So it's on Mills and the rest of the Knicks front office to convince Anthony they can build a championship-caliber team around him.
If not?
"If that's not the plan that they have, then we've got to talk about something else," Anthony told reporters in New Orleans.
