A few of the nail designs i did while i was still in school. It took me forever to compile them. I know the picture quality isn't the best on some of them, sorry. Most made with acrylic craft paint and polish, some have foil ribbon, gold leafing, real flowers, and some gems! Hope you enjoy!
This is definitely an eclectic collection of artistic nail designs. I'm particularly fond of the one with the skull. A lot of detail is clearly shown and I love the use of glitter. Nothing is wrong with the quality of the picture, the details of each nail is more than visible. I love how each nail is unique in its own way and how some of them have a charming 'unk' element to them.
This really is an exceptional and creative example of artisan craft and I'm more than impressed by how long this must have taken to finish.
Totally awesome job!

I love them all! But #1,2,3,6,7,9,10,12,13,15,17,18,19,21,22,24,28,29, and 30!
You should totally do a tutorial on the gears one <3
That would be an insanely hard tutorial for me, lol. I pretty much just painted the whole nail black, then set out a picture of the gears logo beside it and tried my best to recreate it with red acrylic paint and a really small brush, lol.
These are gorgeous! I especially love the cherry one.
#16= My heaven
This is just pure awesome. o:
Whoah I love the last one in particular. Did it take alot of practice to do that?
A bit, that is really what these are. i did them while i was in cosmotology school.
these are just so colorful and cool!
GEARS OF WAR NAILS. Oh. My. GOSH. That's so awesome.
Thank you! That is one of my favorites. (gears of war is my favorite game ever! )
very nice, I really like them. whenever I have long enough nails I take a few hours and paint something cool on them :3
do you want to do my nail polish meme that I made?
WOW!! your nail art is really good. i just started going to a cosmetology school a few weeks ago and i was just lookin for some inspiration for a my nail design contest and wow those are good nail designs. would u mind if i used them in my contest?
What contest? (just out of curiosity) But no, go ahead and use them! And cosmo is the perfect time to practice!! I did so many manicures in cosmo it was ridiculous! You should think about trying water marbelizing too, they turn out really cool and are easy to do. Here are some I did: [link] There are some more in my nail art folder if you want to see them. Anyways, make sure you post your designs you did! (And some advice for cosmetology school, make sure you have a camera handy to take pictures of all the work you do to make a portfolio! that is how i got my job! ) and thanks for the sweet comment too!
well the contest is between all the students at school and the main theme is halloween but we can do anything we want. we have to do the nails and make up and have our model dress up. Thanks for letting me use your nail designs too if i use them. I'm still not sure what i want to do. thanks for the advice. I will bring my camera to school.
That sounds like fun. We did makeup and perm contests in school and they were always really funny. Feel free to go through any of my other designs, there are a couple halloween ones i think, and you can use them also. If you need any tips or ideas, feel free to ask!
Thanks. i am so excited. The contest was graded on the nails and makeup designs and i won the make up design. I won a can of hair spray, two facials and a wax. i will put my pictures on here whenever i get a chance so you can see them. also my nail designs looked great too.
These are really great . My favorites are the last 4 on the first row and the first one on the second row.
Wow I love these!
There's so many awesome designs that I can't figure out my favorite. XD
There's so many awesome designs that I can't figure out my favorite. XD

Q-Trap: In-transit detection of bioinvasive insects in intermodal shipping containers.

Research Institution:
AbstractThis sensitive insect sensor will run 24 hours per day, every day that cargo is in transit, attracting insects to a containment surface where they remain for immediate detection and identification when inspectors gain entry to the container. Flying insects will be waiting, ready to be counted on arrival, rather than hidden within the cargo. An increase in the availability, timeliness, accuracy and transparency of pest information is expected to lead to more confidence in the quarantine integrity of cargo and increased detections of invading species, resulting in greater efficiencies in cargo transportation, while reducing risks associated with inadvertent introduction of invasive species.

Man rescued and safe from middle of Black River in SpringfieldApril 15,2014Susan Smallheer / Staff Photo
Rescue crews prepare to go in the river after a man, seen in background, stuck on a rock in the middle of the river in Springfield.SPRINGFIELD - Rescue crews from Springfield and Hartford's swiftwater rescue team Tuesday morning saved a young man from the middle of the Black River, after he apparently jumped off the Fellows footbridge into the river and got stuck on a rock in the middle.
Springfield's fire department does not have a swiftwater rescue team and thus called in Hartford.
At one point a man who said he was the young man's father arrived at the scene and he was quickly interviewed by police.
Firefighters were stationed on different islands nearby but this stretch of the river is treacherous ; rescuers were afraid the man may have hypothermia. The rescue was quick; the man was placed on a stretcher and taken away in an ambulance.

Alright guys and dolls, it's time for the ultimate poster-crop quiz! We're taking that term a bit literally this week. In honor of Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to solo action projects with Kim Jee-woon's The Last Stand, we've whipped up a batch of posters all from films bearing the word "last" in the title. Scan through the cropped images and see if you can identify all 10 posters. Don't forget to leave your responses in the comment section for a shout-out next week, and the lasting sense of pride that follows.
Caption: First thing's Last, we thought we'd let The Last Stand put us in the appropriate mood. Let's face it, with Arnie's age, every movie at this point could very well be his last stand.

HOUSTON (AP) - The Galveston judge overseeing the murder trial of Manhattan real estate heir Robert Durst will allow television coverage of final arguments and the verdict, but rejected Court TV's request for gavel-to-gavel use of cameras in the courtroom.
In an order issued Monday, state District Judge Susan Criss said televised testimony during the trial could intimidate witnesses.

Reese Witherspoon in Goldsign Glam Skinny Jeans in Petal
Reese Witherspoon looked less than amused to be caught by the paparazzi while out running errands. She dressed particularly casual in a pair of Goldsign Glam Skinny jeans in Petal with a plaid shirt, t shirt, and brown booties.
Usually, we see Reese a bit more dressed up, even with her more casual looks, she's usually wearing a pair of heels, so it is nice to see her wearing something really easy and relaxed. You can see how else she's worn Goldsign before here and you can buy the brand online at Shopbop.com.
Reese Witherspoon in Goldsign Glam Skinny Jeans
Out after doing some more shopping, Reese Witherspoon looked to be in good spirits while heading back to her car. She wore a pair of Goldsign Glam skinny jeans in petal denim with a quilted jacket and green suede pumps.
It's been quite a while since we've seen Reese out in a pair of Goldsign; no matter which brand she's wearing, she seems to stick to a similar cut and fit, slim fit and slightly cropped at the ankle. I would love to see her try out a skinny boot cut/flare style, which I think would look great on her with a pair of heels.
Kate Hudson in GOLDSIGN Glam Crop Jeans in Gracie
Kate Hudson was spotted arriving into LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California. The actress wore a pair of GOLDSIGN Glam Crop jeans in Gracie with sandals and a sweater. The last time we saw Kate in these jeans, she also paired them with similar sandals. The way they are cropped, I find, makes them perfect for gladiators.
I wonder if Kate will be attending the Oscars this year. She is always a highlight of mine during awards season because she always gets it right. She is daring when it comes to her choices with gowns and always looks great. Would you like to see Kate attend this year? You can click here to purchase these jeans from Shopbop.
Mila Kunis in GOLDSIGN Glam Crop Jeans in Hannah
Mila Kunis posed for some photos to help promote her Super Bowl commercial for Jim Bean. The actress kept it simple with a raglan sweater and some GOLDSIGN Glam Crop jeans in Hannah. The look was then finished off with a pair of Rag & Bone Newbury boots.
We have been getting quite a lot of sightings of GOLDSIGN lately. What I like about their jeans is that they keep to the heritage of denim. The focus on their washes feel (and I think will continue to feel) as though they are naturally worn. Whether it be whiskering or the smallest tear, they know how to make them feel as though you got them from your favorite vintage shop. You can click here to purchase GOLDSIGN from Shopbop.

Manchester : A Football History - The Story of City, United, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stalybridge, Stockport and More
List price: US$56.49

AbeBooks may have this title (opens in new window).Try AbeBooks
The book provides the stories of Manchester's greatest footballing achievements, while also answering questions such as: Why did football in Manchester develop the way it did? How do the Manchester sides compare in terms of local support, trophy success, and so on. Manchester - A Football History is the definitive story of football in the Manchester region. Following the success of his Channel M series on the same subject, writer and football historian Gary James' latest book details the story of Mancunian football from the Middle Ages through to the modern day. The book reveals many new and interesting stories and also tries to spell out many significant events that have shaped the region's football development. Manchester - A Football History focuses on the League/former League sides of Bury, City, United, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Stalybridge Celtic, but also takes a look at all the local clubs who have at some point in their history attempted to join the League. Within the pages of this book stories can be read highlighting: * the attempts made by Manchester City Council to install Manchester United as tenants of the City Of Manchester Stadium, not City * the banning of football in the city four hundred years ago * why rugby and football share a few Manchester firsts * Manchester's role in the national formalisation of the game * which Manchester side was the first English team to play competitive football in Scotland * why a street in Wolverhampton contains a memorial to an old Mancunian ground * Which present day League side wanted to change its name to Manchester Football Club during the early 1890s but was blocked by the FA * how Bury found major success before any of the region's other sides * for the first time the true date when Newton Heath became Manchester United * the truth about City's formation as St. Mark's Church side * how City benefited by having one of the biggest newspaper barons of the 20th Century as chairman * the scandal that led to the formation of the PFA * how a City director led United's 1909 FA Cup homecoming * how the region's most successful manager of the period walked out on one of the region's sides to manage their biggest rivals * the story of how Tameside's only League representatives resigned because of lack of support despite getting crowds higher (on average) than Rochdale's all time average * how City and United combined to stop a third Manchester side from threatening their existence * what Rochdale achieved 8 years before City, 20 years before United, and 27 years before Oldham * the development of FC United * the link between City & Hyde * City's poster & United's banner * the recent trials and tribulations at all the region's clubs The updated version of Manchester - A Football History contains over 200,000 words on 544 pages (size 248x174mm) & 8 pages of colour plates, with b/w photographs throughout. Gary James has been working on this book for over a decade: "Mancunian football has always been a passion of mine, however I've always been surprised to find that the full history has only ever been considered from the angle of individual clubs. Clearly, each side within the region has a history worth investigating on its own, however I've always felt that the relationships between our clubs and the stories of the region have been neglected. In fact we've often played down the achievements of our region as a whole to focus on one or two sides." As part of Gary's research he has interviewed players, fans, and other figures from many different aspects of the game in the region in his quest to create the definitive story of football in the Manchester region: "I believe the book has helped unravel some of the mysteries of the Mancunian game and, for the first time, I have tried to tell the story from the beginning of the game through to the modern era. I've got to say that I've been amazed by some of what I've discovered."show more

Review quote
It is surely the definitive story of football in the Manchester region. Writer and football historian Gary James' latest gem details the story of Mancunian football from the Middle Ages through to the modern day.A" David Powter, Winger It is a real achievement and the first time the history of the game in the region has been told.A" Joyce Woolridge, When Saturday Comes Gary spent a decade working on the book, and as part of his research he interviewed players, fans, broadcasters, journalists and other figures from many aspects of the game in his quest to create the definitive story of football in the Manchester region.A" Mike Pavasovic, Hyde match programme The early histories of Manchester City and United provide some of the most fascinating elements of a story James relates without hype. The clubs' close bonds are an intriguing thread. City were keen to sell United (rather than southern sides) their best players. The two also joined forces to prevent the newly-founded Manchester Central club being elected to the Football League and threatening their own fan bases in the early 1930s.A" Ian Herbert, The Independentshow more
About Gary James
Gary James has been researching and writing about Manchester football since the mid-1980s. He has written several landmark publications and a variety of articles on the region's games, clubs and personalities. In recent years these articles have appeared in publications as diverse as The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, The Times, The Author, When Saturday Comes, and the programmes of both Manchester United and Manchester City. Gary cares deeply about the history of football and feels that the role of all the region's clubs has rarely been given the attention it deserves. He has been working on this book for over a decade. As part of his research he has interviewed a variety of figures from many different aspects of the game in his quest to create the definitive story of football in the Manchester region. Gary James is well known to Manchester football fans for his extensive writing and media work on the local game. His latest work is a highly ambitious undertaking that seeks to provide a history of Football League and leading non-League sides in the Manchester region.A" Dave Russell, Manchester Region History Reviewshow more

This plugin is great, however the author has not updated it in over 1200 days! But it seems to work with the current version of wordpress (of which right now is 3.2). But the problem comes in how it looks on the posts. There is no bounding box. So to fix that you need to change a few CSS classes in the auto_tweet.php page. Here's what to change:
Change line 82 class to "postbox" and line 84 div class to "inside"
Then it will look good in 3.2
Author can you please update this so we don't have to do this everytime we use it on a site. Thanks!

Released: Oct 02nd, 2007
Running Time: 150 Min.
Company: West Coast Productions
Cast: Trisha (I), Big Sid, Druuna, Domineko
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Redheaded Hailey Hayz doubles up on her Fudgesicle fun, but Neophyte viewers should be made aware that this isn't an anal series. Although the first hot seg (with Druuna) contradicts that claim, everything else is vaginal.
As one might rightly expect, the material demands doggie action for the best views. This angle will quickly become tiresome if unexpected — yet for the target audience it's the only way to go.
Retailing: Ass/interracial.

I'm confused. Is this a movie review or a personal opinion column? Were you supposed to talk about the movie, the actors, the plot, that kind of thing...or give a diatribe on your political leanings? Different section, dude.
"Graham Killeen, Special to the Journal Sentinel"
WOW....why is this ignorant political rant in the movie review section? This laughable personal opinion should be either in the "Letters to the Paper" section or more appropriately, in a teachers union rag.
This is a 5-star movie. I actually was pleased and surprised with the respect shown, and the restraint shown, by the filmmakers. I would have a difficult time showing the same respect and restraint after dealing with a teacher's union that tried and almost succeeded in closing down my children's successful charter school. It IS up to the parents. Good teachers know this. Students who do well overwhelmingly have parent support. The truth was shown, and the truth must be heard.
At least he admits that the current union supported system is like wading through sludge. The union leaders wouldn't have it any other way.
Oh this column was about a movie? LMAO!
I saw this movie. It was great! Keep the politcal ramblins to the opinion page and actually review the MOVIE!! Who is this guy anyway?
What a shock, there's a "Graham Killeen" from West Bend who signed the Walker recall petition. Clearly this is the perfect person to review this film. Nice vetting JS!
The truth hurts, typical republicans who are clouded by the facts. If you are offended by this review, go back to watching FOXnews and listening to Rush. Now there is some unbiased reporting of facts. Or maybe you should take a note from the movie and start "wishing" (ie. The Secret) for Tommy and Mittens. They need it!
Great review!Hide replies
The truth? Maybe if you actually *saw* the movie then you'd realize the truth about dealing with teacher's unions. But you keep on listening to Maddow, Schultz, and the rest of the echo chamber on MSNBC.

Hi all,
I have a few problems with the effects of NextGen Gallery.
I choosed the gallery use of this plugin, but after i clicked on the Thumbnails, the black area doesn't cover the header of my website. The big picture neither.
You can see it here:
I think it has something to do with the point that the headertitle is flash-based.
I dont't have much experience with stuff like this, so i hope you can help me.
I also hope there is no other topic were this problem is already solved. Otherwise i'm sorry but i didn't find this.

An excavator struck a natural gas line causing a leak Thursday in northwest Leavenworth, a Fire Department spokesman said.
No injuries were reported. The incident was reported shortly before 11 a.m. Thursday at 1004 N. 11th St.
Assistant Fire Chief Mike Lingenfelser said a private contractor was digging at that location when the line was struck.
No residents were at the home where the work was being performed. And no one was home at a neighboring house that also could have been affected by the gas leak, Lingenfelser said.
He said firefighters used monitoring equipment to check gas levels in the area and remained at the scene until Kansas Gas Service personnel clamped off the line around the leak.
Lingenfelser said the leak was from a low pressure line.
Thursday's incident came a day after a natural gas leak in the 1600 block of Limit Street. That leak had resulted in the evacuation of four homes.

is there a way to change the themes. i purchased the twelve theme and uploaded it in ...plugins/galleriapress/galleria/themes/twelve/
anyway, i got no option to activate it in the gallery profiles theme dropdown. i changed the code in the display-gallery.php to get it to work, but i would prefer the way via changing it by theme-selection.
Any ideas? thank very much :)


text: Posted January 3, 2012 There's a good chance that Both Rainey and Demps go undrafted. Right now James is rated in the high 90's to low 100's overall of all the prospects in the draft and it's highly possible that he falls to the 4th or 5th round.

Released: Jan 01st, 1993
Running Time: 55
Company: Prestige Video
Cast: Julie Juggs, Lois Ayres, Bunny Bleu, Kiss, Lee Carroll
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Specialty
This collection is girls with big tits, real or otherwise, soloing "just for you". The tape opener with Julie Juggs masturbating on a bed is an exercise in frustration, because just as she really gets going, they cut to the next scene! Then they managed to take all the heat out of Kiss' garden solo by badly overdubbing someone else's voice. (What's wrong with a nice British accent?) And once again, a missed climax. Fortunately, Lois Ayres' and Bunny Bleu's (complete) solos will rock your world? In fact, Bunny goes for three full rounds, and comes like a volcano each time! But then right in the middle of Lee Carroll and Kitten Natavidad's couch romp - BOOM! - the tape is over. If you're a Lois Ayres or Bunny Bleu fan then this is your video; otherwise, it's blue-balls.

Last month, one of the Peninsula's most successful coaches, Mark Devenney, passed away while battling cancer. Coach Devenney led the SoHi Stars to six team state championships, four team state championship runner-up trophies, and numerous team Region 3 and Borough championships in track and field and cross country running. During his 14-year tenure, SoHi Stars also won 66 individual state championship medals in 44 events, and three of those state champions still hold Alaska state records.
It was brisk and cloudy today for bike rodeo. Kaleidoscope School is incredibly fortunate to have so much community support making the Bike Rodeo memorable, and educational. The students learned about bike safety from Kenai Police Officer Alex Prins and assistant Dillon Story, had helmets checked or purchased from Nurse Jane Fellman with Safe Kids, and enjoyed riding bikes on the course. In addition, The Bike Loft's own John Tabor provided tune-ups for the students' bikes. Kaleidoscope's PTA provided lunch snacks.
Lately, I have been hearing how Dan Sullivan, the one running for U.S. Senate, has been trying to rehabilitate his record on firearms. Recently, I came across a couple of scattered comments regarding Dan Sullivan's record that didn't sit too well with me. The one I had to do some research on was his opposition to HB 381 in 2010, the original "Stand Your Ground" legislation written by Rep. Mark Neuman.
The Community of Nikiski is the best! The 19th annual Thelma McConnell Scholarship dinner and fundraiser held on Saturday, April 26th at the beautiful Nikiski Senior Center was a total success. The dinner is held each year to raise money for the memorial scholarship fund in honor of a Nikiski resident who cared about young people. Each year the Senior Citizens of Nikiski keep this tradition going to help Nikiski area graduating seniors. This year several fifteen hundred dollar ($1,500.00) scholarships will be presented at the Nikiski High School awards night.
Let's talk about lock downs.
My four grandchildren came home (Thursday) after the Nikiski schools locked down. Why there was a lock down isn't important.
I asked them if they were frightened during that time. As expected, fear is repressed and in spite of the games they played and the engaging conversations they had, they all said yes, they were afraid. Now I wondered why. Why are my grandchildren frightened during a school lock down?
Fear is natural and has a good purpose. It makes us do the right things to protect ourselves.
Thank you to everyone who came, helped, donated, and supported the Autism Walk this year. It would not have been possible without so many people and I apologize now if anyone is not on this list, please know you were not forgotten.
The LeeShore Center is very grateful to ConocoPhillips for their generous grant contribution of $2,500, which will help us provide violence prevention education to youth grades K-12 during 2014. ConocoPhillips is a long supporter of LeeShore and our violence prevention efforts targeting youth. With their help, during the last school year LeeShore provided 140 violence prevention education classes to 2943 youth.
This past weekend the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge hosted a youth game warden camp. We had a full camp of 4th and 5th graders who learned about our local fish and wildlife and the regulations in place to conserve them, were introduced to wildlife forensics, met and worked with our Canine Officer 'Rex' and watched him do his job, navigated the woods with GPS units, and participated in archery, boating safety, and fitness.
Saturday, May 10 marks the 22nd anniversary of one of America's great days of giving — The National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp out Hunger Food drive.
Letter carriers walk through the community every day, often coming face to face with hunger. On the Kenai Peninsula they don't walk the streets but they are still aware that hunger in our community exists.
Thank you to the Soldotna City Council and Mayor Nels Anderson and the Kenai Peninsula Borough School Board and Dr. Steve Atwater for their supporting the operation of the Skyview Pool for the 2014/15 year. It is hoped that this valuable health and safety resource will be utilized to its full potential throughout the years and provide education, therapy and recreation to all.

My two passions; O'Lifts + MMA
Hey Guys,
I've been on CA for a while now and never bothered to check out the Fighting section. Looks like a good group of guys in here with the same interests as me; O'Lifting and MMA training. I've been really into O'lifting for the past year. I haven't done much MMA training since 2001 but recently have been getting back into it.
From reading through the recent posts, it appears many others are attempting to figure out how they can integrate a program to do both O'lifts and MMA. Has anyone been successful? They seem to be so different sports. Huge difference when doing max effort lifts 80-95% and resting 2-3 minutes between sets versus the rigors of MMA training. Not too mention the demands on your body from going from heavy olympic lifts to grappling training.
Take a look at my training log, the link is in my signature. I have some video where I tried to go from an Olympic lifting competition one weekend to MMA the next weekend. All I can say now is that I am a believer in metabolic conditioning... Also, I don't see how you could stay competetive in both sports. It seems like one would have to choose one or the other....
Side bar - I have been looking for a good instructional (book or DVD) with sport specific conditioning and exercises for MMA. I am referring to the below listed type of exercises that I always see them doing on either TUF or one of my MMA coaches usually makes up stuff. Has anyone ever bothered to catalog these exercises. Victory belt books are great encyclopedias on technique but I suggest putting out a book on conditioning/strength exercises and breaking into categories (i.e. these group of exercises help grappling, this sectioin for standup, etc.)
Here are some examples of the type of exercises I was thinking of:
1. Sprawling on medicine balls (partner rolls med ball to you),
2. Crawling on hands and feet without letting there bodies touch the ground but touching elbows to knees.
3. Various circuits.
4. sprawl, standup, partner throws med ball at you, catch it, and then sprawl again.
Those are best I could come up with off top of my head but you should get the idea. Does anyone catalog these somewhere....
from a body recovery perspective, i don't squat that much anymore. i find that upper body work generally doesn't impair my grappling and such the next day. on the other hand, playing any form of the guard with sore legs is not good times. i feel that jumping and pistols maintain most of my strength needs in my legs. i generally do more power cleans now to avoid excess squatting, although i find that if i do squat, doing it out of a clean is preferable since it's mostly a concentric effort with less resultant soreness. thus, because i dont' squat very often, i would never expect my numbers on snatch and C&J to be particularly impressive.
1. quarter getups with a KB
2. boat type work (helps butterfly guard)
3. QDR's (helps free legs and balance with upper body)
4. ring work (since i ever started rings, my forearms seldom get burnt out during competitions)
5. parkour crawls
6. deck squats
7. while walking with my hands, keeping my body rigid, and putting an upside down frisbee under my feet to let them slide, i hand walk in forward planks, l-sits, manna-ish planks (belly button faces up, hands go behind), straddle walks (2 frisbees needed)
8. handstand work
9. muscle-ups - strictly for the benefits to the false grip. the way you cock your hand in the false grip has applications towards grappling.
ex) gable grip, then cock your wrists like a false grip. if you do it right, you'll notice how much sturdier the grip is
ex2) when you arm drag, cock your hand in the false grip when you wrap his upper arm. the heel of your hand/outer blade of your arm should hook on to his tricep pretty well, thus eliminating the need for fingers really.
10. ball balancing - roll all over that bitch. it's fun. try to roll from knees all the way over shoulders without falling off. do this for a while and you'll get pretty tired. i don't find standing on the ball helps much for fighting, but people will be impressed if you do it.
11. i'm gonna reiterate deck squats. i thought about it more and realized how applicable that motion is.
that's some stuff i can think of now. you already mentioned you OL, so the hips snap should be well ingrained.
Thanks Grissim. Those were the types of exercises I had in mind. Things I could tack on in a circuit or something after training BJJ or Sparring. I wasn't sure if someone had bothered to write them out in a book or dvd. I was looking at Scott Sonnin's materials the other day but they were kind of pricey. I also wasn't sure if Ross had those type of exercises in his book. Ross's books have been on my wish list for a while now.
Hey Grissim, I found this today, Ultimate MMA Conditioning, http://www.8weeksout.com/. Have you ever heard of this JJ guy?
Another resource I came across that I wouldn't mind your opinion on, http://www.dieselcrew.com/mma-manual-re-released/
Whoever these diesal crew guys are, they teach a legitimate squat; http://www.dieselcrew.com/how-to-squat/
The Diesel Crew is legit. Smitty is an online aquaintance and a solid guy. He trained Tom Lawlor for his time on TUF. Tom now has an MMA school here in Orlando with Seth Petruzelli. Here is some of the training that they did.
You really can't go wrong with any of the Diesel stuff.
The diesel crew stuff looks pretty intense. i'd have to agree that there's a hell of a lot of variety they offer, but i'd see it more as opportunity. in essence, you can pick a few of their many choices that you actually enjoy doing. i personally would probably like the sandbags, but skip the keg work (unless they did handstands on the kegs in intervals. that might be cool). i see the lunge and sled dragging training as more of a wrestler bias, so if you have that background then maybe you'd like that. i'm more of a thrower, so i'd pick more pulls and rotations (maybe side cleans with a KB).
IMO the real value of sport specific exercises are to understand how to properly generate force in that instance. for example, i mentioned that quarter getups with a KB are nice. the reason being that these will teach you how to escape side control very well. since escaping side control is a modified stand-up in base (imaging standing up in base but instead of putting your bottom arm's hand on the ground, you put your shoulder down) the same principles that can make it work and break it apply. if your bottom leg cannot travel beneath you, then you cannot standup in base. if your top shoulder cannot travel forward, then you cannot stand up in base. thefore, we can challenge each of these 2 areas to help understand how to deal with an opponent pressuring them. the quarter getup adds tremendous resistance to the top shoulder. therefore it is difficult to just move it foward. instead, we must move around it. dont' think about pushing the weight up, but instead think of adjusting your body beneath the weight until you have such a stable frame that the weight cannot break you down. it's possible to analyze the hell out of this, but i'll save it for the scope of this forum.
you can also metcon these if you really want. i used to do it a lot. it's relatively safe and very engaging. i would tabata it so that i could have ample time to switch sides.
on the 8weeks out site, they looked fine, but they used 2 types of ladder climbing machines. the one that really looks like a ladder is kinda cool. the one that's like a post with handles sticking out just looks silly to me. they use that at one club i've trained at, and it drives me crazy everytime. just use a damn jump rope. simplicity is always better.
i don't know if i mentioned this before, but sledge hammers and tires are a favorite exercise of mine now. i find that it's hard to mimic the slamball feeling sometimes, but this exercise does it well. this has applications towards snap downs and what not. i find that when you get into it, most of the actual strength required to perform it is just a wrist snap. getting the weight up in the air is just a back swing, windmill motion. the wrist snap comes in laying it down into the tire.

Bermuda Move Allows Insurers To Avoid Taxes
By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON and JOSEPH B. TREASTER
Published: March 6, 2000
A half-dozen American insurance companies have begun exploiting a loophole in federal tax law. By simply moving their headquarters to Bermuda or being acquired by a Bermuda insurer, they no longer have to pay income taxes.
If all American property and casualty insurers followed suit, they could shelter $40 billion a year based on recent profits, avoiding $7 billion in taxes annually, Treasury officials estimated yesterday. The Treasury would be deprived of 4 cents of every dollar in income taxes now collected from corporations of all kinds. State governments are losing money, too.
But instead of taking advantage of the loophole, four of the biggest American insurers are trying to demolish this tax shelter.
The insurers -- Chubb, Hartford, Kemper and Liberty Mutual -- realize that it would be enormously expensive for older companies like theirs to make use of the shelter because of other tax requirements, so they have gone to Congress to turn in their competitors. They contend that while legal, the arrangement threatens to reduce drastically the government's revenues. They also say it discriminates against any property and casualty insurer that continues to maintain its headquarters in the United States.
''It's a question of fairness,'' said Robert A. Marzocchi, the chief tax executive at Chubb. ''We can't compete with companies that are not paying their share of taxes.''
The loophole being exploited is the ability to send premiums collected from customers to a corporate parent in Bermuda and treat the transfer as a business expense, even though money is simply being shifted from one part of the company to another.
Companies taking advantage of the Bermuda tax shelter can use the savings to offer lower prices to customers or keep prices steady and earn higher profits for shareholders. But the companies based in the United States, if forced to cut prices to compete, would see their profits decline. Even if the American companies were not undercut on price, the tax advantage would help the Bermuda companies build stronger balance sheets that would probably be reflected in higher share prices.
One of the biggest insurers using this tactic is the ACE Group of Companies, a Bermuda company that in the last year has acquired two United States insurers. They are a New York company called Capital Re and a Philadelphia company formed from what was once the property-casualty division of Cigna.
ACE said in a statement that it was abiding by ''longstanding, well- established international tax rules.''
''As a global company,'' ACE said, ''we comply fully with the requirements of all the countries in which we do business, including the United States.''
The Treasury Department, which oversees tax policy, and members of Congress learned about the practice when representatives of the four big companies came to Capitol Hill three weeks ago to complain.
The tax counsel for Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee, John Buckley, said he was stunned to see a loophole that, while legal, was so blatant and, unlike the arcane transactions in most tax shelters, so easy to understand.
The Bermuda tax shelter differs from those that Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers denounced last week in issuing regulations designed to shut them down. Mr. Summers's attack was focused on the rapid spread of sham transactions by corporations to evade taxes, while the Bermuda tax shelter is a legal loophole that had been unused until last year.
The Bermuda tax shelter is unique to the property and casualty insurance business, which took in an estimated $287 billion in premiums last year to cover homeowners, drivers, corporations and small businesses.
Typically these insurers make little or no profit on the coverage they provide because the cost of paying claims and running the company generally equals or exceeds the amount of money collected from customers.
Instead, their profits come from investing the premiums their customers pay from the time they are collected until they are paid out in claims.
In the United States these investment earnings are subject to the 35 percent corporate income tax and about 5 percent in state taxes.
But Bermuda does not tax corporate profits. By moving its headquarters there, an insurer can put the investment income on the books of its Bermuda offices, beyond the reach of the Internal Revenue Service. The unprofitable part of the business is kept in the United States. So not only can the insurer avoid taxes on its profits, its American unit may actually collect tax refunds by reporting losses.
There are other countries that do not tax corporate profits. But Bermuda has become the haven of choice for insurance companies in recent years because of light regulation and because of its growing pool of insurance experts.
For years, American insurers ignored the tax advantages enjoyed by Bermuda companies because those companies did not compete with them and in fact complemented their own business. The Bermuda companies offered the American insurers reinsurance -- insurance on insurance -- to lower their liability in the event of catastrophes like big hurricanes. The Bermuda companies also sold large liability policies directly to American corporations.

Jay Davis
At an early age, Jay was naturally doing comedy at his family functions having his great Uncle Raymond laughing so hard he almost fell out of his wheelchair. Jay moved to Los Angeles to pursue film acting. He booked a few national commercials, a bad B movie, the lead in a Disney after school special and a couple of featured roles on television. Auditions were few and far between so Jay realized he should start doing stand-up comedy professionally.
Davis, craving stage time decided to create his own comedy night on the Sunset Strip at an Irish Pub. This Comedy night became one of the hottest and most talked about comedy rooms in comedy history. Comedians Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Alonzo Bodden, Tommy Davidson, Andrew Dice Clay, Jamie Kennedy, Rosanne Barr, Darrell Hammond, Pablo Francisco, Jay Mohr, Darren Carter, David Allen Grier, Paul Rodriguez were some of the many talented comedians that would frequent the show, or popped by to do a set. Since the closing of the Irish Pub Jay has moved his comedy producing skills into the World Famous Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip.
Davis produces/hosts the hottest comedy show in Los Angeles, Every Tuesday night, The "Life of the Party" Show from 10pm to 12:30am. He just wrote/produced/starred in an award winning "Best Comedy" short film for the 168 film festival. Jay has appeared on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live and one of the stars of Dane Cook's movie "8 Guys", and just finished a 30 day comedy tour filming a documentary series, Dane Cook's "Tourgasm" with Robert Kelly and Gary Gulman, 9 episodes starting June 11th on HBO. Jay is currently auditioning for television & feature films as well as touring clubs & colleges across the country. Check his myspace page for upcoming shows at: www.myspace.com/jaydaviscomedy

Special Guest
With a massive touring business both internationally and domestically, Forbes cited RUSSELL as the 3rd highest grossing comic in 2013. He was the first comic to sell out the Barclays Center in NY as well as the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. He set attendance records selling out London's O2 Arena, Sydney Opera House, among others. He has done multiple comedy specials for NETFLIX as well as his "behind the scenes" series, RUSSELL PETERS vs. THE WORLD. On the television side RUSSELL spent this last year as a judge on NBC's LAST COMIC STANDING.
At 18 years of age Lee moved out of his parents' home and took jobs in restaurants and coffee shops in the San Diego area, while also attending Palomar College for a brief period. In 1994 the coffee shop for which he was working closed. "I just went next door to get a job," he said, "which was The Comedy Store in San Diego" (also known as the La Jolla Comedy Store). After a few months of working odd jobs at the club he decided to try stand-up during one of their amateur nights. Within a year of doing regular comedy sets he got offers to open for both Pauly Shore and Carlos Mencia. Lee also went on to work regularly at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles, a comedy club owned by Pauly Shore's mother Mitzi.
Lee has admitted in several interviews that his parents had hoped he would continue on with the family business and were less-than supportive of his comedic pursuits at first. During a podcast interview conducted by fellow actor and comedian Joe Rogan, Lee stated that during the first few years he did stand-up his parents barely spoke to him, however after his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno his father called him and apologized for not supporting his comedy career. Lee's parents currently live in Phoenix, Arizona. Lee is known to have included his family in some of his work: His younger brother has appeared in several non-speaking roles on MADtv and his entire family has appeared in a skit on the show.

Our Quaker Parrot Zim flew off when I took his cage outside to get some fresh air on Wednesday. I went to put his bird bath in the cage which scared him and he flew off. He attempted to get back to me a few times but it was so windy that he just got carried away with the wind each time until we eventually lost track of him. Zim is Green with some blue on his wings and has had missing feathers around his neck since we got him. He makes more of a squeaking soud than a squawk or chirp, sound different than any of the native birds around here that I know of so you cant miss it. If you see or hear him please contact me as soon as possible.
