The 7 Stupidest Things Women Have Done For Breast Implants
If there's a lesson to be learned from Jami Lynn Toler, the Arizona woman accused of faking cancer to raise money for breast implants, it's that some things are just not worth doing for fake boobs. The 27-year-old told her grandmother, her boss and dozens of other friends and family members that she needed money to get a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery. She even went so far as to set up fake fundraisers and an online donation page. Toler raised $8,300, which she used to pay for her new pair of boobs. No, there was no cancer involved. It was a lie. For her crime, she was sentenced to a year in jail, three years probation and she will have to pay the victims back. Hmmm. Accepting you natural boobs or facing incarceration? I choose natural boobs! [NY Daily News]
Toler's not the only woman who has done something incredibly stupid just to get implants. Click on to see what other dumb things women have done for bigger breasts. Ladies, so not worth it!

Words and Photos by Matthew Ismael Ruiz
No one throws a party quite like Andrew WK. Happy-Tom, the makeup-wearing sailor-bassist of Norwegian punk band Turbonegro, knows this. So when his friend, Henning Andersen, CEO of the World Snowboarding Championships, asked him for help finding his "musical ambassador," for his inaugural event in Oslo, the answer was easy.
"He's kind of like the president of the universe," Happy-Tom said. "For this week, he'll be the president of the World Championships in Oslo."
But first, Andersen had to bring Oslo to New York—and WK's club Santos Party House—for a raucous opening bash celebrating the first annual WSC. Billed as "The Championships' own shining star and guiding light," WK used his significant expertise in partying to host an exclusive pre-party in the club's basement before a sold-out Turbonegro concert that rocked the faces off an adoring crowd.
The scene in Santos' basement Friday night was laid-back, and the mood was festive. The drinks flowed generously as a pack of tall, gorgeous Norwegian women (including Norwegian handball legend Mia Hundvin) stalked the floor, pulling journalists into a side room for interviews and photos with the likes of Andy Finch, Jamie Lynn and Ty Walker.
Lynn made a point to tell us of his appreciation for the WSC's snowboarders-first ethos, evidenced by their invitation to We Are Snowboarding's Chas Guldemond (also in attendance) to help set the purses for the inaugural event.
"It's a contest put on by snowboarders, for snowboarders," Lynn told us, shortly before stripping off a denim Turbonegro jacket and flexing with WK for photographers. "It's got industry backing, but it's the snowboarding industry. Terje ( Haakonsen) especially gives it the legitimacy and integrity that a World Cup event needs. It's refreshing to see someone with 20 years of experience give back to the youth of today."

and apple doesn't have fragmentation? just like Android, there are apple users on older devices too. they are stuck at firmware 3.x or 4.x and cannot ever get another update and there are apps that will only work with newer firmware.
to say that if Samsung or others only made 3 phones they wouldn't sell as many is not a accurate statement. how many phones do you think apple would sell if there were 3 other manufacturers selling their phones but with iOS on it? Imagine how many people would be buying the Samsung Galaxy S II or Samsung Nexus if it came with iOS on it? how many iUsers would ditch apple's 3.5" screen in favor of a 4.3" or larger screen? how many iUsers do you think would ditch the iPhone 4S and its poor battery for a Nexus with a 720p display or even an LG Thrill with its HDMI and USB ports?
the fact that there are multiple manufacturers selling Android is not a fault. apple wants to keep everything for themselves and control its users and some people just dont want to be told how to use their property.
with my iPhone 4 its entirely different., I absolutely have to jailbreak because iOS lacks so many basic features. like;
pictures in my contacts list
ability to upload a photo to Facebook
answer a text message without having to exit out of what Im doing an launch the sms app
end tasks
and so much more. I can all of these things out of the box with my S2., the i4 cannot. so rooting my Sammy products is optional rooting my Apple products is mandatory. even my wife whose not a techy could not endure using her i4 for 1 week without it being jailbroken, after updating to iOS 5, she's tired of the iphone.
well, for one. Apple made more than 3 phones, they made 5. and 4 of them are still being sold. while there's no single phone model that sells more than the iPhone your statement works both ways, if only one company sold an Android phone then the iPhone might not be the top selling phone. in addition, Samsung as a company sells more phones than Apple as a company, and not by a small margin but by a large margin.
I hate it when people try to defend iOS by saying that Android only sells more because there are more companies making Android phones as opposed to saying that Android sells more because Android hardware and OS comes packed with features that consumers want. a variety of handset styles and options coupled with an OS that's not only customizable but literally packs dozens and dozens of features that are either impossible or unavailable on iOS.
Answer this question honestly if you can., which do you think would sell more. the current model iPhone 4S running iOS 5 or the Samsung Galaxy S II or Samsung Galaxy Nexus running iOS 5 (imagining that there never was an Android OS)
which would be more desired, an iPhone 4S for its looks or a Samsung for its superior display, superior sound, larger screen size and expansion options?
Touch Wiz comes installed on my S II. with my Tab 10.1 it came with stock honeycomb, touch wiz was an option.
As for your other question if I am being honest I would take a Galaxy S2 phone with iOS on it in a heartbeat over the 4S screen and design. But I would take iOS over Android in terms of software everytime.

Degree Requirements: Master of Architecture II
All applicants to the Master of Architecture II program must have previously obtained a bachelor of architecture or a master of architecture first professional degree from a school accredited by the NAAB or equivalent accrediting agency in another country. The program is structured to be completed in two full-time consecutive semesters with a final thesis semester during the subsequent summer session. Final thesis presentations will take place during the first week of the fall semester following the student's year of study. Graduate students are expected to complete all 30 credits of the M.Arch II degree requirements in full-time continuous resident study at The Cooper Union.
Thesis In April of the spring semester prior to advancing to Arch 413 Thesis, each student will be required to present an elaboration of his or her thesis topic and program for review and acceptance by the faculty. Final thesis presentations will be made during the first week of fall semester following the student's year of study.
Seminars Out of Concentration It is recommended that students register for courses originating in the graduate program (Arch 482, Arch 483 and Arch 485) to satisfy their out-of-concentration seminar requirements.
Graduate courses in the Albert Nerken School of Engineering as well as select upper level undergraduate elective courses could be made available to Master of Architecture II students with prior permission from the student's academic adviser and the individual course instructor.

Transitioning to One Nap
How do you transition a toddler to one nap? My daughter is 14 months old and still taking 2 naps, and I know she'll be ready for 1 nap very soon --- it is taking her longer to go to sleep at nap time and one of the naps is not as long as it used to be. Thanks in advance

Hi NataliesMum,
Toddlers usually transition to one nap between 15-18 months - some a little earlier, some a little later.
Is your daughter getting 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night?
Is it the morning nap that your daughter is taking longer and longer to go to sleep?
Is it the morning nap that is becoming shorter? Or is the morning nap becoming longer, and then is she refusing the afternoon nap?
When my children transitioned to one nap, I found that some days they would only need one nap (and often go to bed a little earlier) and the next they definitely needed 2 naps.
If you can answer the questions above, then I can give you a more specific suggestion on how to make this transition. Also, what time does your daughter wake up in the morning, and what time does she go to sleep at night?
Warm Regards,

Thanks Kate. Natalie's bedtime routine starts around 8pm and she's usually in bed and sleeping around 8:30 and is up in the morning around 8 am.
The morning nap is taking her longer to get to sleep. It used to start around 11am, and we've pushed it back to 11:30 and she still usually won't fall asleep for another 15-20 min after that (but isn't crying). She has been napping for approximately 1.25-1.5 hours at this time, this nap used to be approximately an
Her afternoon nap was around 4pm and she used to nap for around an hour...now its very hit or miss. She MAYBE napped 20 minutes and was laying in her cot moving around (but quiet) or laying down and then moving a few minutes later.

Any producer involved with infrastructure projects knows that transportation agencies are encountering the same economic issues businesses face. They now do more with less. The challenge is to do so without creating more expensive repairs in the long run.
For example, snow removal and deicing are expensive tasks involving many hours of employee overtime and tons of deicing materials. Highway officials must adopt new technologies to meet budget pressures while keeping roads safe and clear.
The traditional method involved applying rock salt (sodium chloride) to roads after snowstorms. As salt prices drastically increased, agencies learned that dissolving the salt into a liquid and applying it to the road as an anti-icing agent before a storm was a much more effective use of their salt supplies. The brines prevent ice from forming on roadways down to – 6 ° F. This innovation led to a new generation of anti-icing technology: treating sodium chloride brine with other chemicals to further lower the freezing point as low as –76 ° F.
Agencies were thrilled with these products. They reduced their salt use, lowered overtime plowing costs, and created a safer environment for drivers. All was good.
But what chemicals are being added to the sodium chloride brines? And what impact do the chemicals have on concrete pavements?
Negative side effects
Super Salts can potentially reduce service life of concrete pavements. These materials include calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and other proprietary products.
As these products lower the freezing point of water in the concrete, the pavement may experience more freeze/ thaw cycles throughout the year. Applying brine to pavements can increase the amount of chloride migration into the pavement and even encourage greater penetration. And once in the concrete pavement, these salts attract moisture and increase concrete's saturation levels. In several Snow Belt states, the corrosive effect on concrete roads ranges from minor to severe.
Interestingly, the damage appears to be largely limited to control and construction joints and not in the body of the pavement. Of particular concern are pavements that have no visible damage, but reveal joint damage below the surface when test cores are taken.
There are several theories to explain how Super Salts cause this damage. Larry Sutter, PhD, from Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Mich., has led research on the effects of deicing chemicals on concrete. Sutter's work describes how these salts, when in solution, can chemically react with portions of the paste matrix to create damaging expansion. The damaged area later fills with water and severe freeze/thaw damage can quickly occur.
At Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., Jan Olek, PhD, P.E. has also done extensive work on these deicing agents. Olek and his team have taken cores of damaged pavements from several locations in Indiana. Originally, the cause of the damage appeared to be straightforward: a substandard air void system.
But how could the air void system at the damaged joints be that much different than the air void system in the middle of the panel that was not damaged? The Purdue team further concluded that the salts chemically react with the paste structure to create either ettringite or Friedel's salts that, when in solution, fill the entrained air bubbles. The infilling of the air void system leaves the pavement quickly susceptible to freeze/thaw damage.
Combating the elements
Concrete producers must understand their customers' needs and provide guidance on how to design and construct durable pavements that will be exposed to Super Salts. The first step is delivering a quality product. If a concrete pavement has substandard quality (higher water/cement ratio, poor air void parameters), damage will be unavoidable and extensive.
Unfortunately, high-quality pavements have also been damaged. Producers must insist that pavement designs minimize the chances of saturation. The damage in quality pavements appears to be more extensive at longitudinal saw cuts rather than at transverse saw cuts or construction joints. Longitudinal saw cuts are often tied with rebar, whereas transverse saw cuts typically receive round, smooth dowels designed to move. One school of thought is that moisture is breaching the joint sealant and getting into the saw-cut joints. The tie bar under the longitudinal joint minimizes or prevents drainage from under the joints, while the sealant prevents drying of the joint from above.
Some states have eliminated joint filling, finding that it has not provided an adequate return on investment, compared to initial and long-term costs. Even a narrow, 1/8 -inch unsealed saw-cut joint encourages drying from above. Using properly sized tie bars (when necessary) will promote drainage from underneath the joint.

Behind The Mask: Bloody Beetroots
Listen to Bloody Beetroots on iHeartRadio
Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo aka Bloody Beetroots is easily recognizable from his signature mask, but his unique touch on music and passion for what he does is what makes him so great. He says he likes to "let the music speak," and his most recent album Hide, released this past September, remains true to his train of thought.
Hide includes a number of great original solo productions, as well as features some amazing collaborators including Tommy Lee, Peter Frampton, and the Beatle himself, Sir Paul McCartney. This release definitely raises the musical bar.
Bob stopped by iHeartRadio HQ in New York City, where he told us about his new album, what it was like working with Paul McCartney, why he wears his mask, and more. Check it out below:
What went into you putting together your new album?
A lot. It took a lot of time and energy to really make it the sound that I wanted it to be. I flew all over the world and yeah, I mean did a great job! (laughs)
How long did it take to make?
Two years, and all of the guests were so f***ing awesome to me, so beautiful people.
What was it like to work with Paul McCartney? How did you end up getting together with him?
Being in the studio with Paul McCartney was f***ing incredible. Man it's Paul McCartney you know, such an iconic figure. Basically I'm a good friend of Youth of Killing Joke and we were producing some stuff in the studio, and he asked me, "Bob are you looking for some new features for your album?" I said ummmm yeah, si, si. Yeah, Paul McCartney! And he said, "yeah I got a project with Paul McCartney it's called "The Fireman." I'm gonna send you the stems of a song about a fireman and see what you can do." And if you know me you also know that my [motto] is "destroy to create." And that's what I did with the song. I recreated all the harmonies and the melodies, and I sent the song to Paul. Paul loved it and then I said "Okay buddy do you think you can rerecord the vocals?" He said, "Yeah yeah, let's go to my studio." And then we did it. It was incredible, it was cool. He's a nice boy.
Are you a Beatles fan? Do you have favorite Beatles song?
Yeah, I'm a Beatles fan. "Penny Lane." But I actually like the new song of Paul, like new. That one. That's f***ing awesome. And he's still great. I mean, he's 71 years old. He's on point like – "yeah, I got it!"
Why did you decide to name the album Hide?
Hide - I always say let the music speak, you know. And that's the main reason why. I hide myself because I wanna let the music speak. That's my reason.
You worked with a number of awesome collaborators on this album. Besides Paul, you worked with Tommy Lee and Peter Frampton. So who did you enjoy working with the most?
Everyone. Everyone. Everyone because everyone has a different color. And my album is full of new colors. I mean, they're all good and super fantastic at what they do.
Tell us about the inspiration behind your new single, "All The Girls Around The World?"
You know, we need to celebrate girls, because you girls are girls - You are the center of the world! I mean without girls, who we are?! Come on! Let's be honest and true now. So we wanted to celebrate girls, and that's my tribute to girls. Mine and Theophilus.
What was the inspiration behind "Chronicles Of A Fallen Love?"
I met Greta and I thought she was a great, great soul. So we wanted to put together that sadness and anger of a fallen love story, if that makes sense. And then we spent 5 hours together and "Chronicles" was the result of this crazy story.
What kind of music did you listen to growing up?
You know I don't really classify the music I listen to, and I don't classify my music too, I just listen to good music. And I think there's good and bad music. But if you want to classify that I can say, classical, punk, soul, rock, jazz, bossa nova, anything.
Did you have a favorite band or a favorite artist growing up?
When I was young, when I was 14, probably Sex Pistols, and I switch on Bach, and probably I don't know there's so many artists that I really really like because I like music.
What's the story behind the mask?
Behind the mask there's no story. No, I wore it to be focused on music, you know. I don't give a f**k about being super famous and all that. I mean, I play music – that makes me happy. Everyone can be Bob Rifo. You can be Bob Rifo too, you can be bubbly on stage – who f***ing cares. I mean let the music speak - you know, that's why I hide myself. And the mask is also good catalyst so you can, you know, bring attention. Because you have the mask and then, people can discover your music through the mask.
What do you like the most about taking your music on the road with you and performing live?
I love interacting with people, it's incredible experience, one of the most beautiful things of life.
What's the craziest fan interaction you've experienced?
Oh you don't wanna know that (laughs). It's a crazy story that I don't wanna tell you.
Tell us about The Real Church of Noise?
The Real Church Of Noise is a community. It's like framework, where people share thoughts, music, art, culture, all together. There's a mutual respect. And it's the perfect virtual community. And it's based on the same platform as Little Monsters, which is the Lady Gaga's community. It's so beautiful to see people interacting and sharing that stuff. It's my perfect society. https://therealchurchofnoise.com/

The Smashes v Season 16
Which was better. Ie better level of fights. Better banter etc etc
Would love to see another smashes.
Proud to be sponsored by Sport-Sense check them out at Sport-sense.co.uk
Season 16 was shite
Smashes was decent, some of the editing was rubbish though.
Smashes by far imo.
Until about 3 days ago, I could not name 1 single fighter on TUF 16 if my life depended on it.
I could at least name a few of the guys from the Smashes.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
Slashes all day long!
Baroni - "I'm the man, the fucking man, the best ever, ever"
With the exception of a few, the fights on TUF 16 have been pretty dire. But I'll forever remember TUF 16 for 'Let me bang, bro'.
Overall, TUF Smashes was better.
Twitter: @demetriomarquez
I thought The Smashes was great & Season 16 is pretty gash. I like the way the smashes has been done, the style of shooting etc & the coaches challenge. Although "let me bang bro" was fucking comedy GOLD.
Looking forward to Jones & Sonnen. I think Jones will come off the same way George Sots has.
The Griphouse
they need to drastically alter the TUF set up, i think its ran its course its a real shame.
Id much prefer if they did TUF international, one fighter from 16 different countries in the one house. I also liked TUF4 too with the ex UFC fighters, things like that are much better than below average "characters" in a house.
Smashes was far superior. however I too enjoyed LET ME BANG BRO

JULIE & JONNY Come to L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Renberg Theatre, 1/19
The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center presents what could easily be the gayest night of comedy ever. One of the stars of LOGO's The Big Gay Sketch Show (Julie Goldman) teams up with the cult superstar "The Gay Pimp" (Jonny McGovern, also of The Big Gay Sketch Show) at the Center's Renberg Theatre on Friday, Jan. 19, at 8 p.m. Net proceeds will benefit the full range of the Center's free and low-cost programs and services.
The show includes solo standup sets by both comedians. Each will also perform some outrageous trademark musical numbers, and there's talk of a joint musical number to cap the evening. Both Goldman and McGovern have been hailed as leaders of the next generation of queer humor.
Julie Goldman also has three TV comedy specials under her belt, which viewers have seen on LOGO, Showtime and Comedy Central. She has appeared on Fox's Bones, RuPaul's Drag U, and NBC's The New Normal. Not only will Goldman be in an upcoming episode of ABC's Happy Endings, but she is a recurring character in LOGO's newest series, DTLA.
You can catch Goldman on the wildly ridiculous web series In Your Box Office (www.inyourboxoffice.com) with her highly inappropriate creative and writing partner, Brandy Howard. Fans are eagerly anticipating their two new Web shows with Tello Films.
Goldman is a favorite at pride celebrations, women's festivals and Olivia Travel events, as well as a headlining solo standup performer all over the country.
TV personality, nightlife superstar and standup comedian Jonny McGovern is known for his comedy music videos as his naughty-yet-gay-empowering character, "The Gay Pimp" (originally created as an answer to homophobic rap lyrics). His latest music video, the hilarious "Dickmatized," had a quarter million views in one week.
McGovern has been making hit gay videos from before the invention of YouTube, starting with the worldwide viral satirical video hit, "Soccer Practice." The video was downloaded more than 5 million times from GayPimp.com and inspired countless young gay men to be as out and proud as "The Gay Pimp" himself.

"Sensational Play"-Using Sensory tables to encourage Early Literacy"
Johana Caicedo
As Early Childhood Educators, it is important to remember that children learn best by using all their senses. Therefore, incorporating sensory activities in the classroom allows curious little minds and bodies to develop. Stimulating the senses sends signals to a child's brain, strengthening pathways crucial for all types of learning This workshop examines the importance of using sensory tables in the classroom. Ideas will be discussed on the use of such to promote language and literacy development. Techniques will be examined and participants will receive handouts describing activities to enhance overall development in children, including those with special needs.
Room: Quad 105
The Stages of Emergent Literacy
Melissa Thompson-Walker
Children pass through the stages of emergent literacy in different ways and at different ages. These developmental stages lead to the skills needed for both reading and writing acquisition. Educators will be encouraged to establish a "literacy enriched environment" in their classroom through interactive activities that the entire class can enjoy. This workshop will also emphasize the importance of establishing a reading program with parents in the home, by increasing communication skills, both listening and talking through family time activities.
Room: Quad 106
The Art of Storytelling:Creating young Writers
Dawn Wynne
Everyone has a story to tell. But how does this process begin? Can children too young to hold a pencil be taught to create a story? Through hands-on activities, using simple materials, we will explore how children learn and foster creativity. With this knowledge we can encourage and develop storytelling skills before children begin to write. Learn strategies that can be applied to every child, no matter what level.
Room: Quad 107
How Gross Motor Development Affects Brain Development
Nathan Kellogg
Several recent studies have shown correlation between early gross motor development and adolescent learning ability. Brain development required for proficiency in gross motor function has been shown to also have impact on other aspects of children's development. Other studies have shown that 20 minutes of exercise daily improves ability to concentrate and focus on academic learning. Combining learning with physical activity could be the optimal way for children to learn.

WATCH: This year's best, worst, Super Bowl ads
(NEWSER) – The much-anticipated Seinfeld reunion turned out to be a Super Bowl commercial, although commentators say it wasn't one of the highlights in a "middling" year for ads, which was a lot lighter in gross-outs and raunchiness than many previous years. Some highlights and lowlights, as rounded up by the Washington Post, AdWeek, and Variety:
- Kia: "The Truth." Laurence Fishburne reprises his role as Morpheus from The Matrix, now a valet who offers a couple the choice of a blue key or a red key.
- Toyota Highlander. The Muppets meet Terry Crews on a dusty road and launch into a new jingle: "We ain't got no time for boring."
- Budweiser: "Puppy Love." This heartwarming ad about a puppy and his Clydesdale pal was a big hit even before the game, with more than 33 million pre-Super Bowl views on YouTube.
- Chrysler: "America's Import." The Official Chrysler 200 Super Bowl Commercial features Bob Dylan narrating. Add a sense of pride for all things American, and you've got a winner...
- Chevy Silverado: "Romance." A rancher takes his bull on a little field trip—to a field full of cows.
And a couple of duds:
- Maserati: "Now We Strike." Dramatic and well produced, "but I have no idea what the hell it has to do with cars," writes Brian Lowry at Variety.
- Subway: "It's Crunch Time." Olympians praise sandwiches in an unexceptional ad that appears to have been created at the last minute.

Post subject: My First Mock Offseason
First of all I am keeping this coaching staff together. I full transition is going to take 3 offseasons if done right, and I think after this offseason we should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think the Dolphins are approximately 10 players away from being contenders, the important part is finding the right 10 players as well as keeping the strengths of the team in tact.
(Disclaimer, I am not great with contracts)
Randy Starks- 4 Years, 30 Million
Starks has proven to be one of the best DT in the NFL, and to be a great team you cannot let those kind of players walk away. Keeping Starks and Soliai allows for the Dolphins to have a top DL over the next 4-5 years.
Brian Hartline- 3 Years, 14 Million
Proven player, earned a contract and has consistently improved. He has proven to be a great fit for the system and a big part of Ryan Tannehill's success.
Sean Smith- 4 years, 38 Million
I know this is going to ruffle some feathers, but you do not develop a player for 4 seasons and see the light at the end of the tunnel, and then let that player walk away and shine elsewhere. The difficult part is he is going to demand top dollar, and he will get it elsewhere. My offseason splurge is right here to keep Smith in Miami.
Reggie Bush- 3 years 9 million
The market will not be great for Reggie Bush, and as has been pointed out he lives a certain lifestyle that flourishes in Miami. Bush likes to be in Miami, and I think the growth of the younger backs will push him more to be a weapon in the passing game that gets 12-15 touches per game.
Why did I decide to let Jake Long walk...
I explore the possibility of a tag and trade, and noone bit. Long is going to continue his career, but due to his injuries it may be only as a RT. I cannot commit to him, as he didn't meet my requests for out clauses after years 2 and 3 of my proposal.
Free Agency
Greg Jennings WR 5 years 48 million
I don't see him getting resigned in GB due to the plethora of weapons and lack of funds. He fits in Miami as he is in nearly an identical system that he is in GB. Jennings, Hartline, and Bess are all accomplished route runners and will excel in tandem. The offensive overhaul is not yet complete, though this is a great start.
Robert Geathers DE 2 years 7 million
Geathers gets an opportunity to compete for a starting position opposite Cameron Wake and at worst as a situational pass rusher. Played for Coyle in Cincinnati
Phillip Wheeler OLB 3 years 12 million
Wheeler is one of the games best pass defenders at the TE position, and will help with covering the TE. He isn't the strongest run defender, but will play in tandem with Misi and also be able to play in the nickel package.
**TRADE** The Dolphins have traded Jared Odrick to the Redskins for a 4th round draft pick.
Why? Odrick has been a solid player, but he is a square peg in a round hole. I decide to cut my losses and pickup what I can for him.
1. Eric Reid S LSU
Reid is the biggest playmaker in the draft on the defensive side. It's time we stop skirting the issue and address the safety position in the draft. Clemons is a solid player, but that's all he is. I add a potential superstar to play alongside Reshad Jones.
2A. Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma
Against my will I let Jake Long walk, and I found a replacement early in the draft. Johnson plays in a pass heavy offense and keeps Landry Jones clean. I trust him to keep my franchise passer clean.
2B. Cornelius Carradine DE FSU
Often known as the "other FSU DE," though he has proven capable with 9 sacks this season. Combined with Wake, Geathers, and Vernon I am confident in my pass rush in order to fix this defense.
3A. Logan Ryan CB Rutgers
For a team with offensive holes, I keep adding talent to my defense. I like this young player, he has tools, and can step in immediately to help out in the nickel package.
3B. Cobi Hamilton WR Arkansas
Good sized WR, and can provide the offense with the ability to attack in the redzone. He is the 4th WR but has the potential to be a real player in this scheme.
4A. Hugh Thornton OG Illinois
Ladies and Gents, you can find starting caliber OG in the 4th round. Many starters in the interior are found in rounds 3-5, and this guy has a chance to push Richie Incognito from day 1. I think he can take his job.
4B. Markus Wheaton WR Oregon State
Projected to run in the 4.4's, we find our field stretch guy here.
5. Latavius Murray RB UCF
Many compare his running style to Adrian Peterson. 6'3 220 pound running back that can receive, run with power, has breakaway speed, and most importantly can block.
7. Seth Doege QB Texas Tech
Developmental backup.

ROLB: Koa Misi/Phillip Wheeler
CB: Sean Smith/
Logan Ryan
Eric Reid
/Jimmy Wilson
SS: Reshad Jones/Johnathon Amaya
CB: Richard Marshall/Nolan Carroll/Brice McCain
Roster evaluation: I like the progress we made. Offensively we are hoping one of the bottom 3 WR step up and take hold of that 4th spot, though ideally Clay, Egnew, Bush, or even Thigpen can step up and prove to be worthy of that role. Up front we are relying on our young guys, but we feel that they can help us more than having Incognito holding up the left side. We will schematically cover up their shortcomings early on. Marcus Thigpen is going to get a chance to have small offensive package to make use of his talents, and Reggie Bush is going to see extended time moving around the offense.
On defense we love what we have. Reid is finally the playmaker we need, and also is excellent in coverage. We feel that our secondary is going to be elite, especially if Logan Ryan can step up early on and help us in the back end. Vernon and Carradine is going to be a battle to watch on the DL for the RDE spot, and Geathers is also a capable rusher. We made a serious effort to help our problems with TE coverage by adding Wheeler to replace Misi against top TE and aide in the nickel. Reid also will help against teams like NE who have 2 TE.

Overall, I like it. A few little things that I wouldn't mind, my only issue is Robert Geathers who I don't like at all. I'm making my own mock right now and I got us going DT in FA. We need a replacement for McDaniels too considering he plays half the time for Soliai. Would be fixed if you didn't trade Odrick, just my two cents.

I can dig the Odrick trade, and Starks and Smith resigning.
Jennings in FA? Meh, though I do like your multiple WRs in the draft.
Rest of the draft was good as well.

I have a few concerns:
We're not doing that much in (external) free agency. We just won't.
We need WRs and this is the deepest draft class of WRs that's been around in a
time. Why would we spend $50M on a guy who's just hit the peak of his career with another team?
We're definitely going to get a WR from this draft. We need receiving options as much as any team in the NFL and this is the perfect draft to attack that weakness. You just can't do a mock without tipping your cap to that fact. It would be crazy to spend the money in FA you're talking about when the draft is
right there
with nearly a dozen viable options that no one's complaining about.
I appreciate Jennings. I really do. But you have to see the forest for the trees here, don't you agree?
If Sean Smith gets that contract, it'll be from another team. I certainly hope no one within this organization would be willing to give him that much. $9.5M per year? I'd consider him overpaid if we were talking 2/3's of that price.
You can't trade Odrick. He's a 1st round pick with size, athleticism and a half-way decent ability to both stuff the run and rush the passer. He's not elite, no, but at least he can pressure the pocket. The guy we need to let go of is Soliai. Soliai is a prototypical 34 Nose who eats up space and takes away the up-the-middle running lanes for the opponent. We don't play a 34, we don't need Soliai. Odrick is a more valuable commodity to us and certainly we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot by keeping Soliai and sending Odrick away. And for a 4th rounder? Yeah, that's probably what we'd get but do we want to do that?
Shoot, you must be crazy!
The rest of it, I'm not unhappy with. Reid's an interesting 1st overall selection. A lot of people will have us going WR but we could pick up 2 WRs in the 2nd & 3rd rounds to make up for not getting Allen, Hunter or Woods I suppose. Still, you have to consider that offense is going to dominate this draft. It's hard to think that when 75% of our draft is going to be offensely-minded and that our primary concern on defense is pass rush that we'd start by picking a defensive player for our secondary.
To me, that just doesn't seem likely. We'd probably take a WR, DE or even a TE like Eifert before we took Eric Reid. He would be a real luxury pick for us considering we don't need an elite FS to begin with in our defense especially considering we're not even
at those 3 positions I listed above.

The WR position really isn't that good this year, this is one of the weakest drafts all around in a LONG time. I have seen many scouting outlets saying this is one of the weaker classes lately. Really none of the WR in this class are that impressive to me, there might be 1 I would take in the first round. The rest of them are meh or don't fit the system.
I traded Odrick because quite frankly he has no position in a 4-3. I like what I saw from Kheeston Randall in the beginning of the year and he earned a bigger role. The only way Odrick has value to this team is if we let Starks walk. Odrick is very good in a 3-4 would be a good 4-3 DT. Paul Soliai is the most important player on the defense. He is the guy that keys the run defense, most teams cannot move him. No one player can move him, and he penetrates. He isn't the stereotypical 4-3 DT, but he has been pretty dominant this season. He is Pat Williams to Starks' Kevin Williams.
I knew Sean Smith would ruffle some feathers, but quite frankly that is the contract he is going to get from the Miami Dolphins, or damn close. Good CB's get paid.

In "Still friends?" (Forum, Oct. 31), Carl Clark is confused about what Republicans believe.
Republicans believe we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem (a key difference with Democrats). No party has a monopoly on irresponsible spending. That is why Utah's Republican senators advocate a balanced budget amendment.
Republicans believe Americans make better decisions with their money than government does. This is why they support tax cuts. When Americans have more money, they invest more, finance entrepreneurial endeavors and put more money into the economy. The problem arises when we lower taxes but not spending.
Republicans do not believe in casting the burden of our national debt on any single group. We do not support cutting necessary programs; we believe in reform. Social Security and Medicare are jeopardized by our failure to reform them.
Republicans do not want government to control women's health issues. That's why we didn't support Obamacare. Still, many believe life begins at conception, so abortion is difficult. But the Supreme Court has ruled shouldn't that discussion be over?
We've seen what fierce partisanship has done to our nation. It's time to see what working together to find appropriate compromises and good solutions can do.

Tax Policy Center's Elaine Maag Highlights CLASP's Recent Paper on Reforming Tax-Based Aid
Feb 25, 2013
On February 25, 2013, Elaine Maag of the Urban Institute and Brookings Institution's Tax Policy Center (TPC), a leading voice in tax policy, highlighted CLASP's recent paper, Reforming Student Aid: How to Simplify Tax Aid and Use Performance Metrics to Improve College Choices and Completion on TaxVox, the TPC Blog. In writing Reforming Student Aid, CLASP partnered with TPC to estimate the budgetary impact of its proposals to reform tax-based student aid.
In her piece, Education Tax Credits Rival Pell Grant Program in Size: Reforms Proposed, Maag provides an overview of the growth and current distribution of tax-based student aid and emphasizes the need to reform this major investment in postsecondary education. An excerpt of the piece is below:
"Tax-based aid for higher education quadrupled between 2000 and 2010 and will continue to be a large part of the financial aid story – at least through 2017 when the American Opportunity Tax Credit is scheduled to expire. As part of a series of reports on federal financial aid, the Center for Law and Social Policy is urging a full review of who receives tax benefits for education, how those benefits compare with the better-known Pell grants, and whether Congress should reform higher education benefits. It proposes some important ideas for better targeting those subsidies to students who need them the most."

transcript:
NASA has released enhanced video from man’s first walk on the moon in 1969.
The video was broadcast on television at the time, but most of the video recordings have  been locked away for nearly 40 years.
SUPER: NASA Video
“One Small Step… “
When Neil Armstrong made his first steps on the moon, it was viewed by what might have been the largest television audience ever--- more than half a billion people around the world.
But how the video was captured is a story in itself.
Because of skepticism of the time, NASA believed live video from the moon was crucial for credibility of the mission.  And Stan Lebar of Westinghouse Electric was called on to develop the cameras that had to withstand the extreme conditions of plus or minus 250 degrees- AND they had to operate on very little power.
SUPER: Stan Lebar, Former Westinghouse Engineer
“And the power was totally 7 watts, which is the power that one Christmas light bulb would take. And that, I might add, was a phenomenal achievement at that time.”
The camera that captured Armstrong’s first steps was mounted on a swinging door on the lunar module.
SUPER: Stan Lebar, Former Westinghouse Engineer
“When Armstrong came out on the porch, he pulled a D-ring which opened a door, large door that had the camera mounted on it, so when the door swung out, the camera was positioned so it saw the ladder, and that’s how that image was taken.”
The video seen by millions was actually transmitted through a tracking station in Australia, then back up to a satellite, back to earth in Houston, and then to television networks.
The video released today comes from various so-called ‘slow-scan’ tape recordings made at the time found at NASA, the National Archives, and the CBS network archives.
The video was digitized and enhanced by the Lowry Digital Company.
SUPER: Mike Inchalik, President Lowry Digital
“It’s 37 years after the invention of the very seminal technology, video noise reduction, that John Lowry pioneered on the Apollo 16 and 17 missions… 40 years from the Apollo project, and now we have the privilege to take this new enhanced technology that takes quality at a premium and tries to extract everything possible from motion sequences and bringing it back to NASA one more time.”
SUPER: VOICE OF: Dick Nafzger, NASA, Restoration Team Leader
“On the left is the available archive image now, dark image .. on the right, you’re now starting to see the full body of Neil Armstrong coming down the steps. It’s lightened up, there’s more detail. You see his helmet now; you see the reflection in his helmet .. this is 3 weeks into the restoration and I think it’s just amazing.”
SUPER: Dick Nafzger, NASA, Restoration Team Leader
“There is nothing being created. There’s nothing being manufactured. We are restoring and extracting data that’s in the video. That’s what Lowry does.’
The release includes 15 key moments from Neil Armstrong's and Buzz Aldrin's historic moonwalk, including what’s known as the flag-raising.
“On the left is a very good depiction of where we’re headed. The noise, the lack of detail in the upper part, bottom part of the lunar module. If you look on the right, you start seeing a lot of detail that’s clean. The surface of the moon is lit properly. This is the sun. It was a camera and scan converter issues on darkness –there’s  your archival – this is what most of the world saw. Now we’re looking at restored video and the detail on the lunar module and the astronauts and the overall picture clarity and cleanliness is coming along just terrific.”
Nafzger points out that while they are releasing newly enhanced video, there was no ‘missing’ video discovered. He says all the video taken on the mission was transmitted to television in 1969.

on google search for "how can i install backtrack5 "it will show you youtube file there that will guide you thanks
Hi everyone,
I tried tried to install BT5 beside Win7. I have a 100gb (NTFS) Win7 partition, 100gb unpartitioned space and a 400gb (NTFS, also tried deleting this one). While gparted recognizes all my partitions, the BT5 installer tries to take the whole disk. I found a few postings online in different boards, but no solution. Is this a known issue? Am I doing anything wrong? Does anyone here have a solution for my problem?
Best regards,
on google search for "how can i install backtrack5 "it will show you youtube file there that will guide you thanks
Boot BT5 from the CD and run the install script. When you reach the installation options for BT5, select manual and delete the partition you wish to install BT5 on so it appears as 'free space' (BE CAREFUL NOT TO DELETE YOUR WINDOWS PARTITION). Then select it, first make a small partition (1gb should be fine) and specify it as a SWAP partition. Next, partition the rest of the 'free space' (or as much as you want for your BT5 install) as ext4 and set the mount point to /. Install BT5 to this partition you just created and everything should be fine.
A word of warning, I tried this once (dual boot XP/Ubuntu) on my desktop PC and grub wiped out the windows bootloader, preventing me from booting into windows. I had to fix the MBR on my disk to boot back into windows.
PS. Google is your friend...
Try searching 'Ubuntu Windows 7 dual boot' or something similar. Installation instructions should be the same, as linux distros dont really differ much at all in installation (from my experience).
when you run the installer, once you get to the partitioning options you can chose to either "Use the entire disk", "Install side by side" or "Partition manually" (IIRC, I seem to have misplaced my ISO ATM but it's something similar).
Just look at the options carefully and choose to partition manually. Worked for me with BT5-GNOME-64.
I've set up many dual boot scenarios with backtrack, including backtrack 5. I even have backtrack and windows 7 set up along side each other right now. I've always been given the option to specify partitions manually. Does it not give you that option?
In install.sh choose manual, then specify the partition
Well, I have that option, but shall I just guess where I should place what type of partition and hope that everything is working in the end? Isn't there any known fix for my problem, so not just gparted detects my partitions, but also the installer script?
Yes i also have those along side. As stated should be a manual option when u go through the install. If not i use Eausus partition tool which is free and works in windows 7.
If you use that make sure the partition is there and not formatted. Then try again to install BT5
This would be the simplest setup to get you started.
Hello everybody
I have a similar problem.
I have installed on a lenovo laptop Win7 and Ubuntu 10.10
Tried to install Backtrack 5 cause I did'n wanted to boot from USB. I clicked on the desktop Image and choosed "side by side" installation. The installation was ok but the problem is that probably GRUB was changed and now I can't choose Win7 or even Ubuntu to boot. Only BT 5.
Does anybody can help me how to fix mbr and have my booting choices back? Thanks
PS: Great job with Forum and BT5 btw

WATCH: Carrie Underwood reinvents Dolly Parton's iconic 'I Will Always Love You'
Listen to Carrie Underwood on iHeartRadio
When you put Carrie Underwood in charge of reinventing a song, you better believe she'll do it justice. Even on Dolly Parton's signature ballad "I Will Always Love You," the powerhouse singer more than holds her own against the original. During last night's (May 6) "All 4 The Hall" benefit concert, headed by Keith Urban and Vince Gill, in downtown Nashville, Underwood performed a two-song set in flaming red pants.
Of course, many of you pop fans might remember Whitney Houston's version (which features an a capella into and a soaring crescendo) from the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Underwood did not perform that particular arrangement, but stayed relatively true to Parton's original, which is far more stripped down, with less bravado.
"I know I'm supposed to talk about songs, but talking is actually a weak point of mine," Underwood joked moments before launching into the song–the evening's theme was "Songtellers," an intimate evening. "I'd rather just sing."
She added, "But I will tell a story about this next song that I'm going to do. You guys have heard of Dolly Parton, right? That's a name that I literally heard in my life since birth. Normally, I don't want to meet people that I absolutely love because I'm afraid that I'm going to find out they're human."
"I actually got the chance to sing this next song with Dolly herself, and she's just on another super awesome planet of awesomeness that I could never tough," she said. "I couldn't believe I was breathing the same air as her, let alone getting to sing with her. She is somebody that met every expectation and exceeded every expectation that I could ever have of her. She's just one of the most amazing women ever."
And, of course, Underwood didn't even think her talent was enough to get her by, "I will not be doing this song any justice, but I'm doing it anyway."
Underwood also performed her No. 1 hit "Last Name" (from 2007′s Carnival Ride) and later joined Darius Rucker (and all the other artists present) during the closing performance of his "Wagon Wheel" cover.
Other performers included Urban, Gill, Reba McEntire, Kacey Musgraves, Brantley Gilbert, Brett Eldrege, Lee Ann Womack, Kip Moore and Deana Carter, among others.
Check out Underwood's stunning performances:

Things Men Will Never Understand About Women...
Things that men will never understand about women….
Why we do squats in freshly washed jeans.
Why we wear the same bra almost EVERYDAY.
Why we get ready 2 or 3 hours before we have to go out and then rush the last 10 mins because we're only half done with our make-up and we're still in a towel.
That we sometimes find it fun to cup shower water in our boobs and release the water on our toes.
Why we sometimes have to stay up later than planned because our nail polish is still wet.
Why we do shower math: Shower or not shower, sleep more and put hair in a bun.
We we sometimes poke ourselves in the eye with the mascara wand (IT JUST HAPPENS).
That we practice strip teasing in the mirror only to realize we are VERY, VERY BAD AT IT (but still try it out all the time)!

Gabrielle Union gets a ring!
Have you been on ring watch for power celebrity couple Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade?
Well for her 41st birthday earlier this week, the NBA World Champion gifted his lady love with a ring — her own championship ring.
(Oh. You thought …?)
Page Six reports that the actress was toasting her big day on Tuesday night after the Heat had their home opener against the Chicago Bulls at the Hyde Lounge in the American Airlines Arena. And before the basketball superstar headed out to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers the next night, he popped in and surprised his girlfriend with "a gift-wrapped box, opened it with her and put it on her finger," a source told the gossip site. "He was there for under five minutes."
Now as for that other ring, Dwyane …

Hi Guy,
David Love from Oban MMA here. I was wondering if you would be happy with me coming down for private lessons occasionally with yourself or anyone else in your gym who offers private MT lessons? I've asked both Matt and Coogie and they're comfortable with it. I was also wondering about gradings in Muay Thai - do you offer them at Caley and is there any way I would be able to sit them despite being based in Oban? If not do you have any suggestions?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and I wish you a great new year and all the success for the Griphouse and Caledonian Muay Thai. I should also be down at the Griphouse for the Interclub at the end of the month.

Brevard, N.C. - The town of Brevard, N.C. and Brevard College open the gates this weekend for Family Weekend as the Tornados faithful descend upon Brevard Memorial Stadium for this week's South Atlantic Conference home opener between the Tornados of Brevard College and the Lions of Mars Hill College.
The last time these two teams met on the field, the Tornados defense took control of the game behind Prince Simunyu and Michael Gist as Brevard broke up eight passes, forced three fumbles and had two interceptions, with Gist sealing the Tornados 35-28 victory with an interception in the end zone as Brevard ended the 2011 season with a victory.
Both teams come into today's contest with matching 1-1 records, with Brevard entering the contest with a loss to FCS opponent Gardner-Webb in the season opener, before rallying to defeat Johnson C. Smith University in overtime last weekend in Brevard Memorial Stadium behind Austin Clark's 18 yard field goal winner. Mars Hill also comes in with a loss to an FCS opponent, when they fell this past weekend to Western Carolina University 52-31, but offset the loss with a 27-7 victory over Charleston (W. Va.) in the season opener.
Both teams enter the game relying heavily on their rushing attacks, as the multi-faceted Brevard run game has seen both Aaron Reese and Derek Church break the 100-yard rushing mark in the 2011 season. The Tornados average 275.0 yards per game on the ground, led by Church's 129 yards per game, but Mars Hill counters with three-time preseason All-American running back Jonas Randolph, who enters the contest with 185.0 yards per game on the ground. Church and Randolph are currently one and two in the SAC rankings for rushing yards per contest.
The Lions hold the 6-10-2 all-time edge in the series against the Tornados.
Brevard Players to Watch:
Aaron Reese - The Brevard College signal caller paid his dues last season learning under all-time leading BC passer Michael Crumbaker. This season, with the team under his leadership, Brevard opened the year battling Gardner-Webb to a stand-still, and the senior saved his best performance in the come-from-behind overtime victory over Johnson C. Smith in which he threw for 100 yards and the game-tying touchdown to Derek Church with 3:20 left in the fourth quarter. Reese, also a member of the BC baseball team, possesses a strong right arm and gives the Tornados the opportunity to gain some yards through the air, while still possessing the quickness and acumen to run the option, having picked up 111 yards rushing in the first game of the season.
C.J. Wilson - The Tornados leading tackler in the 2011 season was anointed one of the heir-apparents to Brevard College All-American linebacker Stanley Jones when he first stepped on campus. After a sophomore campaign when he finished fourth overall on the team with 60 tackles and two tackles for loss, everything is clicking for the middle linebacker as he has added an improved nose for the ball to his sure-handed tackling ability this season. Wilson is currently tied for first in the SAC in averaging 10.0 tackles per game, and after three pass deflections last contest, is also tied for third overall in the SAC with 1.5 passes defensed per game. Wilson will play a key role in Brevard's attempt to stop Jonas Randolph and the Mars Hill run attack in the contest.
Mars Hill Players to Watch
Jonas Randolph - Randolph, a three-time preseason All-American running back, comes into today's game sitting in the top 10 all-time among the South Atlantic Conference running backs and is the Mars Hill all-time leader in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns and points scored. A dual purpose threat, Randolph already has won the SAC Offensive Player of the Week award for his week one performance in which he picked up 163 yards on 27 carries, while catching two balls for 41 yards. He added another 175 yards and a pair of scores last week against Western Carolina. Last season against the Tornados, Randolph accumulated 103 rushing yards and 49 receiving yards, plus a touchdown, and figures to carry the bulk of the load against the Tornados defense, which comes into the game 107th in the NCAA in allowing 169.0 rushing yards per game.
Rudy Cabral - A native of Asheville, N.C. and A.C. Reynolds High School, Cabral is no stranger to the South Atlantic Conference or the battle between the Tornados and the Lions of supremacy of Western North Carolina. The 2010 SAC leading tackler averaged 9.5 tackles per game and has been on a rampage through offenses in the Lions first two contests of the season. A preseason All-SAC First Team linebacker, the 6-3, 230 pound junior is leading the way for the Lions with 18 tackles on the season and one tackle for a loss, and is coming off a game in which he recorded two solo tackles and six assisted in Mars Hill's 52-31 loss to Western Carolina. He looks to continue his success against the Tornados after finishing the game with nine tackles last season.
Kickoff for the 2011 Brevard College Fooball SAC Home Opener against Mars Hill is set for 2 p.m. at Brevard Memorial Stadium in Brevard, N.C.
Fans who are unable to attend the game, can listen live through the broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Dwayne Summers over the radio at WSQL Radio 1240 AM, or over the internet at www.wsqlradio.com.

Today is my son's 6th birthday, and we are celebrating by having my husband's family over for "Birthday Dinner." The way we work birthday dinners in this house is to let the birthday person choose what they would like to eat and which type of cake they'd like, and they get what they want. For my son, that's fun because it allows him some variety from the healthy and/or "grown-up" meals (as he calls them) I usually choose. This year, he chose "spicy mac & cheese" which is a mac & cheese base with a LOT of meat, a few cans of Rotel, sour cream, etc.- not even close to traditional Mac & Cheese. I've decided to also add a salad as a side. I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and on modified bed rest: no standing or walking for more than 10-15 minutes at a time, 45 minute breaks between those 15-minute segments, etc. My husband informed me that his family (by the way, there are other in-law issues here that don't really pertain, but add to tension) is dissatisfied with the dinner option because they just started that Atkins diet and his mom doesn't want anything with a pasta base, and his dad says anything with Mac & Cheese he will hate, even though this isn't even close to regular Mac & Cheese. So my husband asked me to either change the menu my son chose for his birthday, OR make TWO meals to accommodate his family. I think it's absurd. I would never go to someone's house for a meal and demand they change what they are serving or make something special for me- especially if the host isn't supposed to be on her feet long enough to cook two meals. So my question is: Am I out of line for being offended my by husbands desire for me to make two meals and his family's rudeness in complaining, or should I suck it up and just deal with it and cater to them?
(ETA- By popular demand, recipe added on page 4. Enjoy!)
UPDATE: In addition to the original menu, I also ended up making the pizza rolls I talked about in one of my comments (18 of them, just in case). I also made the salad much larger than I normally would have. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the evening. My husband's dad tried the dish he insisted he would hate and even asked for more. He ate a ton of the pizza rolls and said he really liked those. My husband's mother and aunt both ate everything I had served, and both said how much they liked it. They even asked me for a recipe. All in all, if my husband hadn't told me what they had said to him, I NEVER would have guessed they ever had a problem. They each had a small slice of the cake- same size as ours- and never complained. It was all very polite. They stayed over for a while and watched a movie after my son opened gifts and such. My husband's mom got to feel the baby move for the first time, which thrilled her. After they left, my husband said, "I can't believe that out of all of the leftovers we have, we have more leftover SALAD than anything else. I thought that would have been gone." So... I'm calling the night a success.

Lots of views but no replies.....I'll go first then!
Currently training:
Striking x 2, 1hour sessions per week
Submission Grappling x 2, 1hour session per week
Looking to add wrestling x 2, 1.5hours hours per week
Looking to have first amateur fight with in the next year.
Typical day for me is as follows
7.30am Wake up jog to gym 15 minute stretches followed by 25 minute cardio then lastly 30 minutes strength and conditioning.
depending on how busy work is sometimes I manage a 40 minute swim at 1 pm
6 - 9 what ever training we are doing.
This is typically 6 days a week the only time it changes is on a weekend when I attend 2 Thai classes in place of the gym and mma.
Hope that helps Im not pro but try to train as serious as my job allows.
What are you looking for from this information?
I imagine most fighters schedules are different. Some pro fighters work full time jobs so will slot training in where possible. Some pro fighters train full time so can train 3 times a day just about everyday.
I fight pro and and don't train much at all I run twice a week if I get the time. I may kick pads if I get chance before a fight and I roll about the house and choke my kids out as often as possible oh and I do natural body weight exercises as often as possible.
Probably no help at all mate but thought I would throw it out there lol

BJJ for about 5hrs a week plus 2-3 weights sessions. Two kids under 3 and work commitments limit my mat time
But in all seriousness; if I was expecting to do remotely well today (I have fought pro rules in the past), I'd expect to be striking at least 3 x 1-2 hours a week and sub wrestling 2 x 1.5hours per week at the very least. With that kind of time toward training I wouldn't hope to achieve much more than a few wins on the local or English circuit unless I was some kind of young hungry prodigy.
