Steroids in Sports
Facts About Steroids
"During the 1930's scientist discovered that anabolic steroids could facilitate the growth of the skeletal muscle in laboratory animals. This discovery led to the abuse of steroids by body builders, basketball players, football players, and wrestlers" (White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, 2007, para. 2).
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (2007) stated, "The intended use of steroids were for delayed puberty, types of impotence, wasting of the body caused by HIV infections; and hypogonadism, a condition in which the testes do not produce sufficient testosterone for normal growth and sexual functioning" (para. 1).
Anabolic steroids are also often used in patterns called cycling, stacking, and pyramiding. ONDCP (2007) stated:
Cycling is a process in which multiple doses of steroids are taken over a specific period of time, it is then stopped for a period of time, and then it is started over again. Frequently, athletes combine several types of steroids in a process called stacking, by stacking athletes believe that different steroids will interact to produce an effect on muscle size that is greater than the effects of using each drug individually. Another process in which athletes slowly escalate steroid use in by reaching a peak amount at mid-cycle and gradually tapers the dose towards the end of the cycle is called pyramiding. (para. 3-4)
Performance-enhancing drugs are endangering the lives of many athletes, especially wrestlers. The physical effects of steroids in men and women can cause irritability and aggression. ONDCP (2007) stated:
Females and males can develop liver cancer, heart attacks, and elevated cholesterol. Athletes that inject steroids are at risk of contracting and transmitting symptoms. After the athlete has stopped taking the drug(s), the athlete can have symptoms that include: mood swings, fatigue, restlessness, loss of appetite, insomnia, reduced sex drive, and depression. Depression can lead to suicide attempts and if left untreated can persist for a year or more after the abuser stops taking the drugs. (para. 9-10)
Medical experts say wrestlers are 12 times more likely to have a heart attack than any other athlete in sports with steroids, painkillers, and other drug abuse. Steroids are any substances used to enhance athletic performance. Dolan (1987) stated:
Athletes use steroids to keep up with the competition since so many athletes are using steroids. The effects of steroids range from increasing muscle size, strength, decreasing fatigue, temporary weight gain, inhibited growth, and even simple pain relief. Athletes believe the more pills or injections they take the stronger, the faster, and better their performance will be when competing but this is not always true. Steroids could permanently damage the heart, liver, stunt growth, and change sexual characteristics. (para. 3)
Leslie (2005) stated, "Steroids have and will continue to kill athletes at very young ages" (para. 1). Eddie Guerreo, a former World Wrestling Entertainer, was found dead in a Minneapolis hotel on November 13, 2005. Eddie Guerreo had just celebrated his fourth anniversary of sobriety from drug and alcohol addictions that nearly ended his marriage and career. The autopsy report stated that he died of an enlarged heart, which was a result of the long years of steroid abuse. Eddie Guerreo is not the only athlete in the World Wrestling Enterprise (WWE) that has died of an enlarged heart. Wrestlers Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennings, Rick Rude, Terry Gordy, Junk yard dog, Andre The Giant, and Miss Elizabeth are all but a few wrestlers that have died steroid related deaths.
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan lashed out at the industry that made him a megastar. Hogan demanded an end to the decades-long cover up of steroid abuse in the WWE. Hogan, 54, took the muscle-enhancing drug almost daily for 16 years during his career and says he can spot a user a mile off. More than 100 wrestlers have died before the age of 50 in the last decade. Hogan is begging others to face up to the crisis. The Sun, has been leading an anti-steroid abuse campaign since the suicide of Chris Benoit. A handful of former stars have already spoken out and prompted United States (U.S.) politicians to start investigating the WWE. But many in the WWE, the world's biggest fight franchise, deny there is a problem and have blasted their ex-colleagues as bitter failures who have not wrestled in years. They cannot say the same about Hulk Hogan. In an exclusive Sun interview Hogan stated, "Are steroids a problem in wrestling? Oh, God, yeah. They have always been a part of the business."
Professional wrestlers such as Eddie Guerreo and Chris Benoit were regarded as heroes and role models for as long as they had been wrestling. Wrestlers attaining this status must accept the role and responsibility that accompanies stardom, whether they want the role or not. Not every athlete that succeeds in sports use performance-enhancing drugs; it is entirely possible to achieve a goal without resorting to drugs.
Dolan (1987) stated:
Yet , women and men are still willing to risk their health and lives in order to win and stay competitive in the world of sports. Steroids have also been linked to causing some forms of cancer. Due to these hazards, many performance-enhancing drugs have been banned in national and international sports. Although these drugs have been banned, this does not mean that athletes do not take them. (para. 5)
The number of players abusing drugs in the National Football League (NFL) is increasing every year. Drug abuse in the NFL has recently focused around recreational drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol. The commissioner, Roger Goodell, and his personal need to not enforce the NFL's policy, will wait until many more players start to die before he tightens up their drug policies. The NFL can stop most of these problems by having random drug test and enforcing stricter punishments.
Luis Castillo, Northwestern Defensive Tackle, took steroids in the 2004 football season. Steroids http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/football/2005draft/2005-04-14-castillo-steroids_x.htm his draft stock to first-round status. The only punishment Luis Castillo received was a maximum of 24 drug test per year for the duration of his career. What was so bad about it is that the NFL excused and congratulated him by saying, "he is a great kid and he has been forthcoming." This is exactly why athletes will continue to do what they want to do.
Rafael Palmeiro of the Baltimore Orioles was suspened 10 days for "not intentionally taking steroids." This is a prime example of why steroids are being taking lightly in the sports industry. There are people with in the sports industry that could enforce stricter laws and punishment. But no one is willing to enforce rules and policies. Why? It is all about the money.
In the U.S., it has been illegal for more than a decade to sell or even possess steroids. However, it is up to the individual professional sports leagues to set its own steroid policies. In 2003, a federal investigation into the alleged sale of steroids to professional athletes by a nutritional supplement company in California called the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO) led to a grand jury case in which several prominient athletes were summoned to testify. The athletes included New York Yankee Jason Giambi and San Franscscio Giant Barry Bonds, the reigning National League (MVP).
In December of 2004, the San Francscio Chronicle published accounts of leaked grand jury testimony from the BALCO case. According to the Chronicle, Giambi had admitted to knowingly using steroids and Bonds said he had use substances that contained steroids, but he had not realized at the time that the substances contained steroids.
Steroids should be banned but also steroid abusers should be banned. Reason being is that athletes are a major impact on teenagers; especially teenagers that play sports in school, and that would like to one day go into professional sports. What athletes are saying to their younger audience of fan(s), that want to be just like them, is that it is all right to do drugs and cheat their way through life. When athletes give these types of impressions to their admirers; their admirers are going to want to do the same thing.
Monitoring the Future Study (2006) stated, " Recent studies and surveys have proven that 1.6% of eight graders, 1.8% of tenth graders, and 2.7% of twelfth graders reported using steroids at least once in their lifetimes" (para. 5)
Denise Garibaldi is one of the parents who testified at the White House steroid hearing in March 2007. Her son, Rob Garibaldi, was a former high school baseball player who killed himself at the age of 17. Rob Garibaldi took steroids to increase his chances of becoming a professional player. In his mind, he did what baseball players like Canseco, McGwire, and Bonds are believed to have done. Rob Garibaldi said, "I am a ballplayer. This is what ballplayers do. If Bonds has to do it, then I must."
If steroids are banned and athletes are continuing to use steroids and other drugs for enhancement then where do we draw the line for athletes who will continue to take drugs? Paying fines, suspending athletes, and having them go through some type of drug rehabilitation is not enough. The law enforcement need to show athletes that drugs in sports will not be tolerated and by giving this example we are showing teenagers that have not yet begun to play sports that there are consequences when it comes to drug abuse.

The Pound to Japanese Yen exchange rate surged last week due to Bank of England (BoE) and Japanese political news, but the pair has seen largely flat trade since Monday due to data.
GBP/JPY surged from 142.31 to 150.57 last week. On Tuesday, the pair briefly touched 151.50 – its best level since the 2016 Brexit vote.
Pound (GBP) Bolstered by UK Retail Stats
Despite uncertainty about how hawkish the Bank of England (BoE) could become over the next few months, the Pound has remained relatively appealing this week.
Better-than-expected ecostats, as well as increasing confidence that the BoE is likely to tighten UK interest rates at least once in the foreseeable future, have supported Pound trade.
Wednesday's August UK retail sales results beat expectations in every major print.
August retail sales were forecast to slow from 1.3% to 1.1% year-on-year, but instead jumped from a revised 1.4% to 2.4%.
The month-on-month print beat 0.2% expectations and advanced from a revised 0.6% to 1%.
Some analysts pointed out that this data indicated UK consumers were still happy to spend, despite the pay squeeze, which has boosted the chances of BoE action in the coming months.
Japanese Yen (JPY) Supported by Strong Japanese Export Data
An unexpectedly strong Japanese trade report from August has led to slightly stronger Japanese Yen (JPY) demand, as it has indicated that global demand for Japanese goods was stronger than expected.
Japanese export growth was forecast to edge higher from 13.4% to 14.7% in August, but instead jumped to 18.1%. This was the ninth consecutive month of rising Japanese exports and was also the highest figure for the print since 2013.
Imports, on the other hand, didn't slow to 11.8% as expected, but did slip from 16.3% to 15.2.%.
Overall, the Japanese trade surplus slipped from ¥422b to ¥113.6b, which was higher than the expected ¥94b.
However, the Yen's strength has been weighed by anticipation for September's Federal Reserve policy decision, as well as Japanese political uncertainty.
Reports suggest that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe may delay tax targets due to planning an October snap election have also left Yen investors jittery.
GBP/JPY Forecast: Brexit Speech in Focus
With it looking increasingly likely that Japan could hold a snap election in October, Japanese Yen movement could be limited.
If Thursday's Bank of Japan (BoJ) policy decision surprises traders, this could inspire some Japanese Yen movement. No shifts in tone or policy are expected however, so JPY could continue to see relatively narrow trade.
GBP/JPY investors will be mostly looking ahead to Friday's session, when UK Prime Minister Theresa May will hold a key Brexit speech.
In what could be the first major Brexit development in some time, the speech has potential to cause major movement in Sterling.
If the speech indicates that a 'hard Brexit' is looking more likely, GBP/JPY is likely to fall as Pound investors will find the 'safe haven' Japanese Yen more appealing.

Hello everyone,
and welcome to our German Word of the Day. This time, we'll have a look at the meaning of
der Schwarm
Because a Schwarm is quite common in spring, and it's one of the best things about it.
Now you might be like "Oh, you mean like swarm of blood sucking mosquitoes. Yeah, that's really great… on opposite day."
But I'm actually not being sarcastic.
Yes, a Schwarm of mosquitoes at a lake in the evening sun can suck.
But that other Schwarm, your Schwarm, at a lake in the evening… that's amazing. And it might also suck .. later…. anyways, let's jump right in and find out…

— An Infiniti FX bubbling dashboard lawsuit verdict for $2.5 million has been overturned by the Missouri Supreme Court.
According to the dashboard class-action lawsuit, Nissan, parent company of Infiniti, started building the Infiniti FX35 and FX45 in 2003, but in 2005 complaints started rolling in about dashboards bubbling and deforming from heat and humidity.
"More than 2 yrs ago the dash board on my 2008 Infinity FX35 in a very short time frame started bubble up. I have since gone to the dealer for another recall and at that time explained and showed the agent the horrific dashboard. He just said that it cost some $2600.00 for the repair because my model was not under the recall..." - 2008 Infinity FX35 owner / Marietta, Georgia
Infiniti changed dashboard suppliers, but the complaints continued, so the automaker changed suppliers again and the number of defective dashboards dropped to 0.2 percent.
The FX35 and FX45 came with a warranty that included the dashboards, and the automaker also extended the length of the warranty with respect to the dashboards and replaced more than 45,000 dashboards for free.
The Missouri class-action was filed over the original dashboards used in Infiniti FX35 and FX45 vehicles based on the theory Nissan falsely advertised the vehicles in promotional materials. The lawsuit argued the false advertising consisted of phrases such as:
- The FX is a "premium" vehicle and a "leader in style."
- The FX provides "features that are both elegant and intelligent."
- The FX is a "premium" vehicle with a "premium automotive experience."
The plaintiffs contended at trial that each statement was a misrepresentation and conveyed a "false impression" because the FX vehicles were sold with defective dashboards susceptible to bubbling.
In a show of how absurd some trial arguments can be, yet juries buy the arguments, many members of the lawsuit claimed they deserved payments even though their Infiniti dashboards never were affected by bubbling or other problems.
In addition, many owners had their dashboards replaced for free by Nissan prior to the lawsuit, but those owners said the "stigma" caused them to demand that Nissan pay damages.
The jury agreed with the plaintiff's claims and awarded 326 Missouri Infiniti FX35 and FX45 owners and lessees $2,000 each, totaling $652,000 in damages to those customers. But the attorneys representing the owners were awarded $1.9 million.
However, out of the 326 members of the class-action lawsuit, 119 already had received free dashboard replacements. Additionally, the judge found no evidence that any of the remaining members of the lawsuit even experienced any bubbling of their dashboards.
Nissan appealed to the Missouri Supreme Court which overturned the $2.5 million verdict against the automaker.
According to the ruling from the Missouri Supreme Court, the plaintiffs failed to offer sufficient evidence for the jury to find that Nissan made misrepresentations under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. The Supreme Court found no evidence that Nissan originally used cheap dashboards that would bubble.
"Even assuming Nissan's representations the FX vehicles were 'premium' and 'luxury' and the like are factual statements, those statements could not have been false or misleading representations unless there is proof the FX vehicles were constructed with low-end, 'economy,' or 'standard' accoutrements." - Missouri Supreme Court
As for saying the FX SUVs were premium vehicles, the Court found just because something is advertised as "premium" doesn't mean the vehicle is perfect.
"There was no evidence from which the jury could find the members of the class reasonably understood Nissan's representation that the FX vehicles were "luxury" and "premium" to mean that every part in those vehicles was entirely free of defect. To the contrary, Nissan's inclusion of a warranty covering defects in the dashboard (along with numerous other parts) makes such an inference unreasonable."
The Nissan FX35 and FX45 bubbling dashboard lawsuit is Robert Hurst v. Nissan North America, Inc.
CarComplaints.com has complaints from owners about the Infiniti FX35 and Infiniti FX45.

when you say baking paper - do you mean parchment paper? I've never heard of baking paper. Thanks for any clarification. This looks amazing and I really want to try it!

Great tutorial!!! tanks!!
- August 7, 2012 at 1:04 PM
- Kim C said...
This is so nice! Do you mean that all you do is put the vellum on the candle then the baking paper on top and the heat gun to heat the image onto the candle?? I'm a bit confused on that part. Hope you can clarify!
- August 7, 2012 at 7:40 PM
- Grace said...
Great tutorial!!! I'm just confused with some parts... Do you mean baking paper as parchment paper? And the vellum paper... How does it glue the image to the candle just from the heat gun? Does it melt the image on the candle? And you just peeled off both the vellum and parchment off when it cools down? I'm just so excited to try this =)
- August 8, 2012 at 2:49 AM
- gobeagirl said...
I love your tutorial as well and I too have a couple of questions. What ink did you use to stamp the image onto the paper with? I have reread a couple of times and unless I'm more excited to try this than I thought I don't seem to see that info. Also did you use Copic markers and does this hurt them when you are coloring on the parchment paper? Thanks for a great idea. I truly do love it and want to give this a go very soon. Hugs, Lisa G

i think cause of the language barrier some things might not have been clear. though i'm not sara, i think for vellum paper she means tissue paper. and for baking paper, wax paper? this is a cute idea and i'm gonna try it too! thanks, sara!

After Agent Carter quietly ended its second season last year with series-low ratings, ABC announced the Marvel drama wouldn't return for a third. The cancellation of the fan-favorite series came as a surprise to many, including Marvel Television.
RELATED: Hayley Atwell On How Agent Carter Almost Came Back – And Still Might
As is so often the case nowadays, petitions from Agent Carter's cult following pleaded with Marvel to bring back Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter, whether through a film or a series renewal, but nothing ever came of the lobbying effort. However, new photos from Marvel Studios Co-President Louis D'Esposito are stirring renewed hopes among the Agent Carter faithful.

— Louis D'Esposito (@louisde2) August 1, 2017
Atwell has demonstrated that she's still invested in Peggy Carter, even lending her voice to the character for the animated Marvel's Avengers: Secret Wars.
RELATED: Hayley Atwell Willing To Do "Whatever It Takes" For More Agent Carter
D'Esposito directed Atwell in the 2013 Marvel One-Shot Agent Carter that served as the springboard for the ABC drama, so it's possible the actress merely stopped by the Marvel Studios offices to visit a friend. However, some have already begun to speculate that Atwell could have a role in the 1990s-set Captain Marvel, alongside Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson.
We also can't discount comments made in June by Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland suggesting that the studio is looking to bring back Marvel One-Shots, the series of direct-to-video short films included from 2011 to 2014 as special features on Blu-ray releases.

I've had quite a few auditions pop up recently which is nice, I feel busy and important. It would be nice if I was actually booking jobs from all these auditions but that's another post for another day. Anyway, so these auditions have been mostly for musicals or television commercials. The television commercial auditions are fun, I always enjoy those. The musical auditions, on the other hand, let's just say I haven't quite mastered the 'fun' aspect of those. I mean, I really love waiting around for hours to sing and spending money on printing headshots that I know the casting people will probably throw in the bin. I digress, I digress…back to to the point. I had a musical audition a few weeks ago and I had to sing and I swear to Santa I had a panic attack while I was singing.
Now, I've spent countless hours over analysing why this could have happened. Was I harbouring some leftover insecurity from earlier experiences this year? Were my anxiety levels high? Was I secretly doubting myself the whole time and covering it up really well until BAM! Time to sing, oh sorry what? You thought you'd be fine, GUESS AGAIN! Look, it was a truly interesting experience. I am SO impressed with myself that I didn't pass out because I mean I wasn't breathing. I was hyperventilating. I was hyperventilating AND SINGING AT THE SAME TIME.
I was a trainwreck I literally have no idea how I even got to the end of the song. I have no idea how the casting panel allowed me to continue crashing and burning right before their very eyes. Was this fun for them? Were they revelling in my misfortunes?! Ok, I'm being dramatic, it probably wasn't that bad to them. They probably just thought I was nervous. BUT I'M TELLING YOU, IT WAS A FRIKKEN PANIC ATTACK. Let me take you through it step by step.
The music starts….
me – oh god it's started already
ok, ok I come in here
omg why do I sound so breathy
ok try to breathe
omg not in the middle of a phrase
oh shit, this is a big note… breathe!
omg I can't breathe
omg just pull back a bit and try to regain control
look up and start acting
ok, ok another big bit is coming up
redeem yourself
why can't I breathe
I'm gonna pass out
When I was done I literally took 3 huge breaths and the casting panel sort of laughed and said, "You can breathe now!"
I RAN OUT SAYING, "Hahaha yeah sorry just a tad nervous bye, thank you, have a great day"
Yeah. So, anyway, auditions are fun. I can say that since then my confidence has improved somewhat, I mean haven't stopped breathing during an audition in a few weeks so that's positive… haha.
Anyone else have any fun audition stories they want to share? Don't be shy!

|A small part of
Kathy's new look
We get a lot of compliments from our guests about how beautiful Gallery 54 always looks. Three of our owner members deserve the lion's share of the credit. Stained Glass artist Liz Micho, Jeweler Donna Smith and Ceramic and Mosaic Artist Terry Askey Cole are constantly on the lookout for ways to present artwork in the gallery to its best advantage. With the holiday season upon us the frenetic pace they normally maintain pales.
|We're excited to show some
Kathy's newest work.
That started in earnest this week with Liz spending most of Friday figuring out how to fit the new work of many artists, who are stocking-up in anticipation of the season.
Between now and Thanksgiving the pace will pick-u[ even more and their creativity will come front and center as holiday decorating is added to their efforts to make sure each and every piece of fine art and craft is showcased to its best advantage.
Earlier this week Painter Kathy Schneider and Photographer Tom Dwyer undertook major moves at the gallery and Kathy's paintings now featured in the front of the gallery (across from the sales counter) and Tom's photography has found a new home on the east wall of the Lake Room.
|Tom's new location allows him to feature larger pieces.
We hope you'll stop by soon to see for yourself.
The gallery is open from 10 am to 5 pm Sunday through Thursday and from 10 am to 6 pm Friday and Saturday.

There is a good chance that I will make this a series of articles on fantasy martial arts battles. If anyone has suggestions for possible battles or just fighters (from any era) to feature let me know. Enjoy.
Helio Gracie
Tsunetane Oda
EPIC What If Martial Arts Battle #1
Facts About Helio Gracie:
His brothers were taught by Mitsuyo Maeda (born in 1878),a Judoka from the Kodokan who was considered a ground-work expert. Helio Gracie could not practice the moves themselves because he was frail and thus relied on his ability to analyze moves. Helio found that he could know the moves in his head but doing them against a live and resisting opponent proved to be difficult. Helio knew that he had to adapt the moves he was taught or even come up with new ones in order to be successful (this is according to Gracie family lore) to his small body type.
Helio Gracie proved his abilities in grappling and Vale Tudo matches having a combined record of 10-2-7 (according to his Wikipedia page). Helio Gracie eventually co-founded the martial art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Helio's most famous match was against Masahiko Kimura in 1951 in which he lost by a technical submission due to an armlock (reverse ude garami or Kimura lock named in his honor) Interestingly enough Kodokan records show that Helio held a 3rd dan in Judo while personal accounts by Kimura say he held a 6th dan as it was common for the Kodokan to show lower ranks for those who are foreigners.
Facts about Tsunetane Oda:
Often cited as the little known innovator of Judo ne-waza, it should be noted that at this time Judo did indeed recognize the ground aspect of Judo. However people like Judo's founder Jigoro Kano viewed it as less important. Judo had a handful of ground proponents like Mitsuyo Maeda, but it was Oda that had the greatest impact on Judo ne-waza specifically. Oda was much like Helio a man of small stature and found that ground work was very much his strength. Although he tried to promote it as much as he could through things like the University system, Kosen Judo as it was called never quite took off in the same way that Kodokan Judo did. Oda was famous for being one of the first people to use the triangle choke or sankaku jime often. Surprisingly enough the triangle did not become a regular move used in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu until many years later. One of Oda's key philosophies at the time was that Judo should be 50 % stand-up throws or tachi-waza and another 50 % dedicated to ground work or ne-waza.
The question is who wins in this fantasy EPIC "What-If" martial arts battle? Gracie Jiu-Jitsu vs. Kosen Judo, well known martial arts badass genius vs. little known martial arts badass genius. Let's get started with who holds the advantage in various aspects of the fight. Cue cheesy Deadliest Warrior knock-off advantages animation.
Here is an example where trying to figure out who holds the advantage is tricky. Helio Gracie proved time and time again that he could defeat men from Judo backgrounds and those who are much larger than himself. This proves that he has excellent technical ability, especially on the ground which is where he always won (with a submission usually a choke or armlock). Helio was able to devise strategies that would work for the smaller man. However I believe that Oda from watching his ne-waza videos is an equal in technical ability or possibly even superior. Still Oda was not known to showcase his technical ability in matches for there does not exist any competitive footage of him. Nonetheless it is obvious that Oda was a technical genius to come up with these moves especially for the time. It is eerie to see moves that look applicable to today used so many years ago. It's almost like someone went back into a time machine to show them to Oda. Either way neither man seems to hold a definitive advantage in this department. Both simply have their own styles where Helio tends to favor ground work where as Oda likes to fight on the ground but spends almost an equal amount of time training his throws as well. Helio appears to be more "proven" in combat where as Oda has advantages in things like the throwing department.
Helio Gracie was a master when it came to bringing the fight where he wanted to. Helio was also not afraid to fight off of his back for extended periods of time. For a Judoka like Oda this is certainly not his modus operandi. Sure he may have excellent technique but surely his preference would be to get on top of Helio and pass his guard. Helio's best option is to try and slow the pace of the match to a crawl so that he can eventually wear Oda down and hopefully lock in a fight ending submission. Oda I suspect though will want to employ the opposite strategy and look to push the pace early with aggressive grappling techniques. Oda's hip movement on top looks especially impressive and it would be interesting to see if Helio could actually neutralize it.
Oda will have an advantage in the throwing department from his training with the best in Japan (including Judo's founder Kano), though don't under-estimate Helio either. Still chances are Oda will want to emulate what Masahiko Kimura did and repeatedly throw Helio down. Interesting to note is that Helio took on Maeda's philosophy of combat, including the idea of distinct phases in fighting. In fighting strategy I am going to have to give the advantage to Helio.
This I have to admit is kind of boring to break down and with both men being technicians I suspect it won't be a factor. Although I am leaning towards Oda from the rigors of Judo training it is inconclusive. One however must not forget that Helio engaged in several very physical encounters despite his frail appearance.
Cardiovascular conditioning is such an important aspect of any fight. It can sway a battle where one person is superior technically but just can't keep it up for long enough. Helio Gracie was renowned for his cardio, though I think this stems more from his ability to fight slow and methodically. Judging from his videos Oda relies heavily on ground movement compared to Helio who uses very little until getting the submission. This in the short term could be successful for Oda but on the other hand it could prove costly, as Oda struggles to pass Helio's guard. Ironically guard passing could simultaneously be his silver bullet and Achilles' heel. Helio undoubtedly will have the cardio advantage.
Although this appears to show Helio will win there are several other X-factors that must be taken into account.
Will the fact that Helio who is used to fighting much larger men than himself work in his favor (going against an opponent closer to his own size)?
TECH FACTOR (play on technology factor but actually refers to technique)
It may be a stalemate when it comes to overall technical ability but who actually has the better techniques themselves? Even though 20 years separates when these two men were born, because Japan was developing great techniques Oda chances are is the more innovative and versatile fighter (especially for his time). Helio's techniques are incredibly fundamental in comparison. Will someone as technical as Oda fall for these techniques that he himself is well-versed in? This is the X-factor that might actually play the biggest role in the entire match.
Helio Gracie was all about ground work where as Oda trained a significant amount of time in throwing; not that Helio was a slouch standing up either. Still whose philosophy reigns supreme? It's quite possible that Oda's is better considering years later we see that dictating where a fight takes place is very important for any martial artist. Still that idea is almost irrelevant because this fight is guaranteed to hit the ground one way or another.
With all things considered who takes this battle? I am a little concerned that the founder of the Kosen style of Judo might not be proven enough though with reluctance I am taking him in this razor-close match. I believe that Helio will eventually crumble under Oda's relentless top pressure. The only question remaining is who do you think would win?


text: Welp- Phony Ppl just made it pretty easy for me to pick my new favourite hip-hop group. Dubbed 'Brooklyn Soul' the group utilizes soul, R&B and jazz influences to create a tapestry of genres that would impress Q-Tip and Stevie Wonder alike. Their latest release 'Yesterday's Tommorrow' shows just how diverse and deep's the groups talents are rooted. The album showcases some impressive and interesting instrumentalism (not a word) that is only rivaled by the conscious and catchy lyrics. I'm excited to hear more from the young group as they continue to develop and refine their sound(s). I've picked my personal favourite, but be sure to put the whole record on repeat!

Just a few more flower images from the spring and early summer. I'm not exactly fast and efficient when it comes to processing images. It tends to be months from pressing the shutter to getting an image into it's 'final' form. So expect images of spring flower in late summer, summer flowers in late fall and snowbanks in June (although where I grew up, real snow in June has been known to happen).

Now I still haven't get a satisfy answer. Until Natta Cosme introduce me Klairs Iluminating Supple Blemish Cream (BB cream) to try it out, and cant wait to have a lot of fun with it! :D
It reached my doorstep safely together with lovely card and gifts! So...
What so special about Klairs BB cream?
Let me tell you, it is one of the best seller of Klairs, as it can be multi-functional skin care and as a make up product. This is because it gives:
- Effects of whitening
- Anti-wrinkle care
- Protecting skin from sunlight (SPF 40 PA++)
Other than that, it also upgraded by adding Hyaluronic Acid adds moisturising effectiveness as well as Sebum (oily secretion of the sebaceous glands) control powder keeps our skin soft. Most important it suits and fits all type of skin colour, no matter male or female ;)
How to use:
- Wash your face and apply your basic skincare routine
- Blend evenly with fingertips or sponge, and gently pat into your skin.
So today I'm gonna use Cerro Qreen (Natural Emulsion Power Puff), which is sponge application is most suitable for people with oily skin like me.
So just apply few drops on my skin (because it is very thick), and blend it with this lovely cutie sponge evenly ;)
If you're sensitive skin, you can apply this BB cream onto your hand, after few mins, if there're no itchiness or redness found, then you can continue to apply it onto your face! Yay!
Can see the different that my skin gets more shinning and fairer a bit, compared to before - little bit wrinkles, uneven spots T____T
Let's see after effect of my face!
- Right eye bag reduced
- Wrinkle over right nose area reduced
- Red spot reduced
- Uneven skin colour solved
- Lighter skin tone
Now I look younger on my right side! Yay, can selfie to the max! *Remember to apply skin moisturizer to prevent your skin excrete excessive oil from your face! And stay flawless all the time ;)*
And also not sticky as others!
Overall I kinda like it because it makes me look so naturally (like naked make up!) which is the type of make up everyone loves, and look like Korean girls perhaps?
Selfie to the max! Love my skin so much now, as it makes me fairer in my CAMERA! ;)
Before I end my post, I gonna tell you all a good news!

VeriSign Inc. drew up a road map of its Web services plans and predictions on Tuesday backed behind the debut of its two new Web services offerings. At the same time, company officials cautioned that quantifiable and positive results of Web services deployments will be out of reach until necessary integration and trusted security measures are put in place.
Verisign chairman, president, and CEO Stratton Scavlos said IT budgets should start loosening in 2003 to hammer out integration difficulties which plague Web services adoption. To illustrate his position, he pointed to such examples as the fierce platform battles surrounding Web services architecture and application development tools, active standards efforts, heavy vertical industry and U.S. government interest, and the flexibility that XML provides.
"Interoperability is promised across [Web services] initiatives but not proven. We've seen this movie before," said Scavlos of Mountain View, Calif.-based VeriSign. "We're compliant with standards but nothing works together."
To address that problem and tackle lingering security questions, VeriSign on Tuesday introduced its Open Source WS-Security Implementation and Integration Toolkit. Designed for assisting developers to incorporate encryption and digital signatures for Web services, the toolkit marks an accelerated push by VeriSign to re-invent its full range of services to be Web services front-ended and delivered in a nonhuman-intervened fashion.
That initiative will be driven by a new platform being developed by VeriSign called a "Trust Gateway." The product will be integrated and configuration-ready with all major application server platforms and match compliance with multiple Web services standards efforts.
"You'll see VeriSign doing a wide variety of propagation to get VeriSign technology embedded into these new [Web services] platforms. In 1995 it was browsers, in 2003 [VeriSign technology] will be in applications, routers, application servers, firewalls, appliances ... to wake the network up and be secure," said Scavlos.
Scavlos noted VeriSign's past success in the mid-90s providing the code which helped form the underpinnings of secure socket layer technology for Microsoft Explorer and NetScape Web browsers.
In addition to its Open Source Toolkit, VeriSign announced the availability of its Online Consumer Authentication Service. The service aims to provide customers with automated and managed access to authentication data through an application using pre-defined XML standards and encryption that cross-references and risk-ranks consumers' identity.

text: Hello everyone, I have began to give lessons to a fellow who is in third year university (20 years old and played tuba in High school). I have never taught a complete beginner before and it's been sooo long since I can remember being at that stage. What kind of stuff should I start with him? Our first lesson I just spent most of the time correcting his breathing (because I thought that would be easier to learn first - being an avid breather that he is ). But what can I do to actually start buzzing etc. I do it so automatically now that I am finding it hard to put into words what I want to say. Thanks for any advice Eric S.

What a vacation!!! If anyone has seen my status's on FB you'll have the short of the story but this is the longer version -
Hannah was great the first few days were were there - Sun, Mon, Tues were fantastic, we swam, played, ran around, explored, etc it was wonderful. Then on Wednesday she started throwing up bad. Chris had gone to a bar in town to watch the hockey game so he wasn't in the room to witness any of this. I had to try everything I could to control the vomiting. It was really scary the amount she was throwing up but finally she was able to get some sleep. The next day she was fine, she wasn't eating as much but she never eats as much when she's away from home. Then she was very sleeping and blah feeling. We took her back to the room where she slept all day long. I figured she was just tired from not sleeping the night before. Fast forward, the next morning she woke up with no energy, weak, not talking except for saying "Drink", she definitely wasn't herself. We rushed her down to the clinic in the complex and they say she had to be admitted to the hospital because she was so dehydrated. They suspect she ingested pool water which was contaminated. She spent 24hrs in the hospital hooked up to IV, blood taken from her for testing, stool samples, and urine samples all came back negative for anything like parasites, or bacteria. She was released without medication. Totally back to normal on Thursday night enjoying her time at the resort.
We spent the night at the show watching entertainment, went to bed early because we wanted to spend the next day and last day at the beach and doing a bit of shopping.
Fast forward after a great day of shopping and beach lounging - about 4 hours before the bus was coming to pick us up to bring us to the airport, I'm sick, major sick - vomiting and diarrhea BAD! I figured it would just pass but nope, when we tried to check in the lady at the desk asked me if I wanted to see the doctor, I asked what he'd be able to do and she told me he could give me something to stop the vomiting and diarrhea - OK I'm in, anything to stop this and get me home alive was good to me. I went , he noticed how bad I actually was hooked me to IV because I was dehydrated, gave me medication to stop the vomiting and diarrhea. It only stopped the diarrhea, I was still vomiting A LOT! The doctor kept reassuring me we'd be on the flight home the night - we would be rushed to the plane 10 minutes before it left.
Chris and I just got home this morning at 5am after spending the previous 24hrs in the hospital. I'm not going to go into major detail because it'll take me forever to tell all the details but needless to say, we missed out flight - which Hannah was on! My sister and Mother In Law look Hannah from the doctors office because they figured she'd be happier with them. 3 minutes before the flight left Chris (freaking out by this time) ran, stopped the plane from pulling out and told my sister and MIL that Hannah was going home with them. I was rushed to the hospital in the ambulance where I was admitted for 24hrs. Lucky for us the flight we were able to get on today was delayed 3 hours otherwise we would have been stuck in the Dominican until Tuesday!
Needless to say, I'm SO happy to be home! Safe and sound and with Hannah! It was so scary just letting her go, thank god my sister and brother in law are as amazing as they are! They were able to handle their daughter, my daughter all the luggage, going through customs with 4 different last names, etc. They were saviours! What an experience!
I'll be back to post pictures and stuff later - I should be sleeping considering all the sleep I lost during the last few days but for some reason I just toss and turn so when I get a bit more time I'll post some videos and pictures!
Thanks for reading! :)

So happy that you are all back here safe and sound. I'm also glad that you did get to enjoy some of the holiday. Looking at the pics from both you and Krystal it sure looks like you all had some fun!ReplyDelete
Wow!!! So when is your next trip! lol glad to hear you are getting better!! --AmyReplyDelete
What a nightmare! You must've been terrified to put Hannah on a plane without you! I'm glad it's all behind you now and hopefully you can look back on your vacay and only remember the good parts!ReplyDelete
Yeah it sucked but the part where we all were feeling well - we LOVED it and had a great time! It was a great resort and the people we wonderful! We had a lot of fun and Hannah seemed to really enjoy herself. Luckily she's so young she doesn't really understand that a hospital stay isn't usually included on family vacations! I'll be posting pictures soon!ReplyDelete

Temporary employment at full time (100%) for two years. Starting date as soon as possible.
At the division of solid state physics we do both basic and applied research. In general we investigate physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials and compounds whether it will be used as thin films for spintronic applications, magnetic nanoparticle based bioassays, coatings for smart windows, gas sensors, photocatalytic coatings or to create new magnetic materials for environmentally friendly energy technology. We also do energy system studies to investigate the impact different energy sources have on the whole energy system in the built environment.
The project focuses on permanent magnetic powder materials without content of rare earth elements and involves Höganäs AB, a world leading company within metal powder technology, as industrial partner. An important objective is decrease the powder particle size to a level where one particle corresponds to a single domain magnetic grain or to an assembly of grains with aligned magnetic anisotropy axes. The latter will require in-depth studies of powder microstructure combined with magnetic microstructure studies and magnetic domain imaging using different techniques. We offer a varied and exciting work, with well-established collaboration with the departments of Chemistry Ångström and Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala University as well as with nationally and internationally recognized research groups.
Qualifications: To qualify for employment on a post-doctoral position at Uppsala University, the applicant must hold a PhD degree or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree. The PhD degree must have been obtained no more than three years prior to the application deadline. The three year period can be extended on circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in trade unions, etc.
We are seeking candidates with a PhD degree involving permanent magnet materials. A strong motivation and ability to work independently is desirable, and good verbal and written skills in English are required. Experience in using experimental techniques for magnetic domain imaging will be considered as a merit.
Further information http://www.teknat.uu.se and http://www.teknik.uu.se.

United States District Court, D. South Carolina, Columbia Division
September 28, 2017
Quinton Brown, Plaintiff,v.Anthony Dennis, Sumter County Sheriff; Investigator Jennifer Thomas; Thomas R. Mims, Jr.; Hampton Gardner; Robert Burnish; Jennie Daley; Wesley Gardner; Susan Oaks-Thomas; Edward Francis Brown; Willie McFadden; Krystle Skinner; and Shenequa Oaks, Defendants.
matter is before the court for review of the Magistrate
Judge's Report and Recommendation ("Report")
(ECF No. 112), filed February 23, 2017, recommending that the
Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 76) by Defendants Sumter
County Sheriff Anthony Dennis, Investigator Jennifer Thomas,
Thomas R. Mims, Jr., Hampton Gardner, Robert Burnish, Jennie
Daley, Wesley Gardner and Willie McFadden (collectively
"Defendants") be granted as to Plaintiff's
claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, and
1986, as well as all state law claims, and that Defendant
Krystal Skinner be dismissed from the case without prejudice.
Furthermore, the Magistrate Judge notes that Defendants Susan
Oaks-Thomas, Edward Francis Brown, and Shanequa Oaks were
never served with process and therefore recommends that they
be dismissed from this action without prejudice. After
considering Plaintiff's Objections
("Objections"), filed March 8, 2017 (ECF No.
114), the court ACCEPTS the Magistrate
Judge's Report (ECF No. 112) and GRANTS
Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 76).
Magistrate Judge's Report is made in accordance with 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2)(c)
for the District of South Carolina. The Magistrate Judge
makes only a recommendation to the court, which has no
presumptive weight. The responsibility to make a final
determination remains with this court. See Mathews v.
Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270-71 (1976). The court reviews de
novo only those portions of a magistrate judge's report
and recommendation to which specific objections are filed,
and reviews those portions which are not objected to -
including those portions to which only "general and
conclusory" objections have been made - for clear
error. See Diamond v. Colonial Life & Acc. Ins.
Co., 416 F.3d 310, 315 (4th Cir. 2005); Camby v.
Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 200 (4th Cir. 1983); Orpiano v.
Johnson, 687 F.2d 44, 47 (4th Cir. 1982). The court may
accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the
recommendation of the magistrate judge or recommit the matter
with instructions. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Report was filed February 23, 2017. (ECF No. 112.) The court
concludes, upon its own review of the record, that the
Report's factual and procedural summation correctly
presents the facts in light of this requirement and adopts
this summary as its own. (ECF No. 112 at 2-10.)
timely filed his Objections to the Report on March 9, 2017.
(ECF No. 114.) Plaintiff's Objections begin with verbatim
statements of facts from his Memorandum in Opposition to
Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment. (ECF Nos. 102,
114.) Thereafter, Plaintiff follows up with generalized
statements of frustration regarding the allegations against
him resulting in his arrest and prosecution and broad
statements of the standard for probable cause and summary
judgment, despite the overwhelming undisputed record evidence
cited by the Magistrate Judge in her Report. Additionally,
Plaintiff reargues verbatim several issues previously
presented to the Magistrate Judge (see,
e.g., ECF No. 114 at 7-8), yet points to no specific
error by the Magistrate Judge.
court's review perceives that Plaintiff made three
specific objections to the Report:
1. Plaintiff objects to the Report's assertion that
Investigator Thomas had probable cause to secure a warrant
for Plaintiff's arrest, given that a SLED forensics
report allegedly determined that another individual murdered
the victim. (ECF No. 114 at 3-4, 9-11.)
2. Plaintiff objects to the Report's assertion that he
has failed to provide any facts which support his
§§ 1985 and 1986 claims. (ECF No. 114 at 11.)
3. Plaintiff objects to the Report's finding that
Plaintiff has failed to allege any facts that show Mims,
Hampton Gardner, Burnish, Daley, Wesley Garner, McFadden, and
Dennis, in his individual capacity, were personally involved
in any deprivation of Plaintiff's rights. (See
ECF No. 114 at 8.)
As to
Plaintiff's first objection, Plaintiff claims that the
affidavit supporting the warrant contains a false statement
by the affiant but offers no support to challenge this
material fact. (ECF No. 114 at 9-10). Plaintiff further
states that there were no witnesses that claimed that he
admitted his involvement in the murder or that such
statements were either rumors or never corroborated.
(Id. at 10). However, Plaintiff provides no support
for his arguments, just mere conclusory arguments contrary to
the Magistrate Judge's well-articulated order
demonstrating sufficient probable cause for Plaintiff's
arrest based on a facially valid warrant supported by an
affidavit and testimony by witnesses who claimed that
Plaintiff admitted his involved in the murder. (ECF No. 112
at 15-16). Plaintiff merely supports his arguments with
baseless allegations of the motives of law enforcement to
frame him.
As to
Plaintiff's second objection, Plaintiff cited the general
statements of proof for a 42 U.S.C. § 1985 conspiracy
claim and alleges that Defendants had a meeting of the minds
to charge and prosecute Plaintiff without any competent
evidence. As to Plaintiff's third objection, Plaintiff
does not note any errors in the Magistrate Judge's
Report. Instead, he merely relays facts about the
investigation that led to his arrest and prosecution.
Each of
the arguments supporting Plaintiffs specific objections was
considered by the Magistrate Judge. The Magistrate Judge was
not persuaded by Plaintiffs arguments and Plaintiff offers no
arguments based on competent evidence as to why the
Magistrate Judge was mistaken in her findings and
conclusions. Therefore, after de novo review of Plaintiff s
specific objections, the court finds that they are without
merit and, as a result, overrules Plaintiffs specific

I am finally going to film a hair video and post it to YouTube. I actually tried filming one before but it was not good. Every time I would film I was out of frame, the camera would cut off, bad lighting, etc... But that was with my old camera and I was doing it by myself but today I'll have my new camera and Vladimir will be helping me. Can not wait to film, edit and post it! xx
